MAVS SHOWED THEY CAN COMPETE AGAINST NBA’S BEST

http://www.mavs.com/mavs-showed-can-compete-nbas-best/

DALLAS — They were the only team to push the eventual NBA champion San
Antonio Spurs during this year’s playoffs, but the Dallas Mavericks take no
satisfaction in moral victories.

達拉斯—  在季後賽中，唯一一隻可以將今年冠軍馬刺推到極限的球隊，但是
小牛對於這種精神勝利法並不感到滿足。

Capturing a 2-1 first-round series lead after sixth man Vince Carter’s
game-winning 3-pointer as time expired in Game 3 to lift Dallas to a 109-108
victory, the Mavericks would go down as the only team to take a series
advantage on the Spurs this postseason. The Mavs would also push the Spurs to
the brink of elimination while forcing a decisive Game 7.

第三戰，在第六人Vince Carter的絕殺三分，小牛以109-108取得2-1的領先，
也是整個季後賽唯一一隻領先過馬刺的球隊，小牛也將比賽推到決定性的第七戰。

And although they didn’t leave the court simply satisfied with their effort
after falling to a 119-86 defeat in the crucial seventh showdown, the
eighth-seeded Mavs still had plenty of reasons to hold their heads up high.

雖然小牛在第七戰以119-86輸給了馬刺，小牛還是有充分的理由可以昂首闊步的
離開球場。

“I like what we did,” 12-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki said. “I like what we
did to get into the playoffs; to battle, the excitement we showed and the
fight we showed. I definitely like that. And I like the fight we showed for
the first six games (against the Spurs), giving them nothing easy, making
them work for everything and sweat it out at least until Game 7. But Game 7
was a tough one. That’s for sure.”

"我喜歡我們所作到的"，12次全明星賽的司機表示

"我喜歡我們在季後賽所作的，所有刺激跟戰鬥，毫無疑問的，特別是前六戰
，給馬刺一個困難的挑戰，讓他們汗流浹背、費盡全力來對付我們。但是第七戰
是一場艱鉅的比賽，那是毫無疑問的。

“Everyone counted us out from Day 1 to even get here, and [Game 7] felt like
a championship game,” new addition Monta Ellis added. “It was a great
experience and everybody was on board. I’m very proud of what we did and
what we overcame. We came together as a team and took the best team in the
NBA to a dogfight all the way to the end.”

"大家從第一天起就開始算什麼時候小牛會出局，而第七戰感覺就像總冠軍賽！"
今年加入小牛的Monta Ellis表示

"這是一個很棒的經驗，而且大家都在一同奮鬥，對於我們所作的以及所遭遇的，
我感到非常驕傲，我們一起像隻團結的隊伍，並且將本季NBA最棒的球隊拖進一場
大混戰。

The Spurs went 12-4 through the rest of the playoffs while storming through
Portland, Oklahoma City and the two-time defending champion Miami Heat en
route to the title. But it’s the Mavericks that put up the most resistance
of the four teams as the Southwest Division rivalry was renewed.

淘汰小牛後，馬刺取得12-4的成績，風吹落葉般掃過了拓荒者、黑雷、以及二連霸
的熱火，但是小牛，西南組的宿敵，是馬刺在季後賽所遭遇最頑強的抵抗。

Bringing together nine new faces during training camp, the Mavericks seemed
to jell at the right time while showing that they could compete against the
league’s best team. Still, the Mavs acknowledge that they fell short in
their pursuit of a second title in franchise history. And three years removed
from hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy above their heads for the first time,
the Mavericks enter the offseason with plans to build on their year’s
shortcomings.

儘管今年在訓練營有九張新面孔，小牛依然在關鍵時候，對上聯盟最佳的球隊時硬起來
仍然在追求第二座冠軍的小牛，在奪下首冠三年後，小牛帶著精良的計畫來掩蓋缺點，
進入了今年的季後賽。

“I think you’re always disappointed when the season ends. It doesn’t
matter when,” Mavs point guard Jose Calderon confessed. “It was tough. You
always try to be positive about everything. … Nobody maybe gave us a chance
to be in the playoffs. Nobody gave us [a chance] to get to seven games, so
that’s the positive part. I think we’re close to being a really good team.
I think we’re pretty close and we showed that in this series. We just need
to play a little bit better and stay together, but at the end of the day we
showed that we’re right there to compete against everybody in this league
and to be a really good team.”

"我想你總是會對於球季結束感到失望，不論是何時結束"，卡德隆坦言

"這是很艱鉅的，你總是對於任何事試圖保持樂觀，沒人認為我們能打進季後賽
沒人認為我們能夠有機會逼進第七戰，所以那是樂觀的部份，我認為已經很接近
一隻優秀的隊伍，我們也展現在這個系列戰，我們只是需要再打的更好並且像個
團隊，但是直到最後一天，我們在場上跟這聯盟的所有人競爭，而且展現出我們
是一個優秀的團隊。"
