Mavericks-Clippers Preview


For a few days in July, the Dallas Mavericks thought they had pried DeAndre
Jordan away from the Los Angeles Clippers.

七月初時，達拉斯小牛以為他們已經成功的挖來洛杉磯快艇的中鋒DeAndre
Jordan了。


The saga that ensued could only seemingly come from the pages of a screenplay.

結果劇情急轉直下，簡直可以媲美電影劇本了。


Jordan will get to see the Mavericks for the first time since that tense and
wild portion of the summer Thursday night when they visit Staples Center.

在度過了氣氛緊張的暑假之後，Jordan明天將會在主場Staples Center首
度面對小牛。


Jordan was first reported to have an agreement with Dallas for a four-year
contract worth around $80 million on July 3, two days after the start of free
agency. On July 8, there were rumors that the 6-foot-11 center had a change
of heart.

自由市場開市的兩天後，7月3日，據報Jordan已經與小牛達成4年約8000萬
的口頭協議。7月8日，就有消息指出這位6呎11吋的中鋒改變心意了。


What followed was an exodus to Jordan's home in Houston by Clippers coach Doc
Rivers, and players Blake Griffin, J.J. Redick and Paul Pierce.

之後快艇教練Doc Rivers，隊友Blake Griffin、J.J. Redick與Paul Pierce
都來到Jordan位於休士頓的家，不讓他外出。


They stayed inside with their teammate while denying Mavericks owner Mark
Cuban and their currently injured forward Chandler Parsons a chance to talk
with Jordan. Griffin sent out a photo on Twitter of a chair wedged underneath
a door handle.

他們不讓Jordan與小牛老闆Mark Cuban與球員Chandler Parsons有任何接觸
或交談的機會，Griffin還在推特上傳了一張用椅子頂住大們的照片。


The tactics paid off as Los Angeles ultimately got Jordan's signature on a
four-year deal worth approximately $87 million just after midnight Eastern
time.

這樣的戰術奏效了，快艇很快的就在自由市場開放簽約的午夜時分與Jordan
簽下了4年約8700萬的合約。


"The most emotional part of the whole entire process was when I decided I was
going to stay because I knew I had to upset and let down a whole different
fanbase," he said. "That definitely got to me.

Jordan說："這整個過程中，我決定留下來是因為不想讓球迷們失望，這打
動了我。"


"The (Mavericks) had a great presentation, a great owner, a great coach, a
championship team, but at the same time, I felt like I didn't give it all of
my thought. At the end of the day, we're basketball players, these great
athletes, but we're also human and we make mistakes."

他說："小牛對我做了很棒的報告，有很棒的老闆與教練，是個冠軍球隊。
不過我覺得我沒有想清楚，畢竟我們只是籃球員，也跟一般人一樣會犯錯。"


Jordan had eight points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in his first game with
the Clippers under his new contract Wednesday, a 111-104 win in Sacramento.
Griffin scored 33 points, and Pierce's jumper with 2:21 left started Los
Angeles on an 11-4 run to end the game.

Jordan今天在快艇的球季開幕戰中拿到8分12籃板4火鍋，幫助快艇以111-
104在客場打敗沙加緬度國王，Griffin拿到33分，Paul Pierce在最後2分
21秒的跳投讓快艇開啟了一波11-4的攻勢結束比賽。


"This group has been together for some years, they have a good understanding
of one another," Pierce said. "I'm just trying to fit in and play with that
group down the stretch."

Pierce說："這個團隊已經運作了很多年，對彼此很了解，我要做的就是
融入大家，在關鍵時刻做出貢獻。"


Dallas also opened the season with a victory Wednesday, 111-95 in Phoenix,
with eight players scoring in double figures led by Raymond Felton's 18.

小牛今天也在開幕戰拿下好彩頭，以111-95在客場打敗鳳凰城太陽，隊
中八名球員得分達雙位數，最高分是Raymond Felton的18分。


The Mavericks got a chance to rest a little for this game after building a
27-point lead in the third quarter.

在第三節取得27分的領先之後，小牛有機會讓主力球員多作休息。


"We stayed in attack mode all night and never let up, and that is how we are
going to have to play," coach Rick Carlisle said.

教練Rick Carlisle說："我們整晚都在攻擊模式，不讓對手喘息，這就
是我們該打的方式。"


Dallas blew out the Clippers 129-99 in the most recent matchup March 13, but
Griffin (staph infection) and Jamal Crawford (sore calf) were inactive for
Los Angeles. The Clippers have won eight of the last 11 meetings and five of
the last six at home.

小牛最近一次遇上快艇時，在主場以129-99大勝，不過那場比賽Griffin
與Jamal Crawford都因傷沒有上場，快艇拿下了最近11次對戰當中的8勝，
並且最近6次主場對上小牛時拿下5勝。


One small reason why the Mavericks coveted Jordan was perhaps the thought of
not having to face him. He has averaged 17.1 points in his last seven
meetings - his highest versus any opponent in the past two seasons - and 17.3
rebounds.

小牛想盡辦法要挖來Jordan，可能是因為不想面對到他，最近7次對戰當
中Jordan平均能拿到17.1分17.3籃板，得分是過去兩季他面對所有隊伍的
最佳成績。


Dallas forward Charlie Villanueva averaged 22.5 points on 60.7 percent
shooting off the bench and went 8 of 15 from 3-point range in the final two
meetings last season.

小牛的Charlie Villanueva前兩次對上快艇時從板凳出發，以15投8中的
三分球與60.7%的命中率平均拿下了22.5分。


今天贏了真讓人高興  明天又是一場硬仗啊
希望能討回暑假的怨氣!!

Let's Go Mavs!!
