Mavericks-Suns Preview


Dirk Nowitzki will take the floor in Phoenix for the opener of his 18th
season with Dallas and say hello to beloved former teammate Tyson Chandler.

Dirk Nowitzki準備迎接生涯第18個球季，他將帶領達拉斯小牛客場挑戰
鳳凰城太陽，對上前隊友Tyson Chandler。


The Mavericks superstar has done this before, after winning the franchise's
only championship with Chandler in 2011 and watching him move on to the New
York Knicks.

這是Chandler第二次離開小牛了，在幫助小牛在2011年拿下隊史首冠之
後，他加入了紐約尼克。


The circumstances are just about as difficult this time, since Chandler came
back to Dallas for a season in a trade but quickly signed with the Suns in
free agency before the Mavericks' ill-fated pursuit of DeAndre Jordan ended
with him reneging on a promise to sign and staying with the Los Angeles
Clippers.

這次放走Chandler的決定依舊讓小牛很為難，去年他們才將拳王交易回
來，但休賽季小牛還在與DeAndre Jordan談約時，太陽先找上了拳王，
讓小牛最後落得兩頭空。


"He's going to be fired up. That's Tyson," Nowitzki said of Wednesday's
opener. "But so is everybody else. This is the season opener. For them it's
the home opener. Everybody's going to be juiced up."

Dirk談到開幕戰："Tyson一定會全力以赴，他就是這樣的人。對我們而
言這是球季的開幕戰，對他們而言這是主場開幕戰，必定會全力求勝。"


Dallas finally gets to put a disheartening summer to rest after the Jordan
reversal, but faces the difficult task of competing in the Western Conference
with another retooled roster that is only now getting everybody on the court
together while still missing Chandler Parsons.

小牛終於度過了這個難熬的夏天，經歷了Jordan的反悔事件。不過這個
賽季對小牛而言依舊是一大挑戰，小牛再次將陣容重組，留隊的Chandler
Parsons還因傷無法上場。


Deron Williams is playing for his hometown team three years after spurning
the Mavericks in free agency to stay with the Nets for the move from New
Jersey to Brooklyn. The point guard didn't make his Dallas debut until doing
so alongside new shooting guard Wesley Matthews in the final preseason game
Friday against Chicago in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Deron Williams在三年前選擇留在布魯克林籃網隊，而沒有來到小牛，
如今他有機會為家鄉球隊效力。他跟Wesley Matthews直到季前賽的最後
一場對上芝加哥公牛的比賽時才第一次同時出賽。


Williams battled calf issues in camp, a chronic problem for him. And Matthews
is returning sooner than expected after tearing an Achilles tendon against
the Mavericks when he was with Portland last March.

小腿傷勢長期困擾著Williams，他在訓練營時不斷與傷勢對抗，Matthews
則是比預期的快從阿基里斯腱的傷勢當中復原，上季他在以波特蘭拓荒者
的球員身分對上小牛時受了這個傷。


"It's difficult, but we're veteran guys who had a lot of years in this
league," Williams said. "Hopefully it will take less of an adjustment period.
I feel like we have a great chemistry already in just the couple of practices
we've had together as a whole."

Williams說："傷勢很難克服，但我們都是沙場老將了，希望不會花太多
時間來調適。我覺得我們在經過幾次練習之後就已經有不錯的化學效應
了。"


Point guard Brandon Knight starts his first full season in Phoenix after he
was part of a busy trade deadline last season that sent Goran Dragic and
Isaiah Thomas elsewhere. Those deals came during a disappointing year after
the Suns were one of the surprises in 2013-14 and almost ended what is now a
five-year playoff drought.

太陽後衛Brandon Knight將要迎接他在太陽的第一個完整賽季，去年在
太陽忙碌的交易截止日中，送走了後衛Goran Dragic與Isaiah Thomas，
換來了Knight。不過這些交易的結果令人失望，在經歷過令人驚喜的13-
14賽季之後，太陽隊再次沒打進季後賽，連續五年提前放暑假。


In addition to rebounding and defense, Chandler was brought in for leadership
with a mostly young roster.

為了將強籃板與防守，他們找來了Chandler，希望他的領袖氣質能幫助
年輕的太陽隊。


"Having a young team can have some benefits as far as athleticism, endurance,
being able to get up and down the court," Chandler said. "With our depth, I
feel like we've got to come at teams in waves."

Chandler說："在一支年輕的球隊當中，運動能力是我們的長處，靠著
板凳深度，我們能夠成為優秀的團隊。"


As training camp wrapped up, the Mavericks faced the possibility of three
starters being sidelined in Williams, Matthews and Parsons. But now Parsons
is the only one missing, and there is no timetable for his debut coming off
surgery on a right knee issue that sidelined him for all but one game in a
five-game, first-round playoff loss to Houston last season.

在訓練營結束時，小牛以為先發當中的三人，Williams、Matthews與
Parsons都趕不上開幕戰，不過現在只有Parsons還沒歸隊，他還沒有
確切的歸隊日期。他去年季末受到右膝傷勢影響，只打了一場季後賽，
小牛最後在第一輪的第五戰遭到休士頓火箭淘汰，Parsons隨後去動了
手術，目前還在復原階段。


"It's not going to be something where we say, one day, we're healthy and we
don't have to work with it anymore," said Rick Carlisle, who needs two wins
to surpass Don Nelson as the winningest coach in franchise history. "It's
going to be a daily ritual. Guys that are in the process of coming back, are
back, you name it, it's all going to be live all year long."

小牛教練Rick Carlisle說："我們不可能某一天發現大家突然都變得
很健康，然後不用擔心傷病問題。每天都會有球員的傷勢逐漸好轉，
這會是一整年的奮鬥。"卡帥只要再拿兩勝，就能超越Don Nelson，
成為小牛隊史勝場最多的總教練。


It won't be easy in a conference that might require 50 wins to make the
playoffs.

但在需要50勝才能擠進季後賽的西區，每一場勝利都很艱辛。


"The West is tough," said Williams, who spent his first five-plus seasons
with Utah. "But I feel like my game is suited for the West. This is where I
learned to play was in the West, that up-tempo style."

Williams說："西區很難打，不過我覺得我適合西區的打法，我就是在
這裡學到快節奏的打法。"蝶龍生涯前五年多都待在西區的猶他爵士。


And now Chandler is a West rival for Dallas.

如今，Chandler再次成為小牛在西區的敵人。



明天是開幕戰了  今年是連三場客場開頭
希望能旗開得勝呀~~

Let's Go Mavs!!
