Thunder-Mavericks Preview


Kevin Durant wasn't in a celebratory mood following Oklahoma City's relieving
blowout victory this week.

昨天的大勝讓奧克拉荷馬雷霆鬆了一口氣，但Kevin Durant並沒有多加慶祝。


Maybe because that's how the Thunder are supposed to win. Also, it could be
due to the way the Dallas Mavericks crashed their party just a few days
earlier.

這也許是因為雷霆實力本來就高出一截，但可能也因為達拉斯小牛曾在第二戰
讓雷霆跌了一跤。


This Western Conference first-round series has shown varying results for
Durant and his championship-chasing team, but the Thunder can separate from
the pesky Mavericks with a win in Saturday night's Game 4 in Dallas.

這組西區第一輪的系列賽結果差異極大，Durant所率領的雷霆目標是總冠軍，
他們有機會在明天拉開系列賽的比數。


While third-seeded Oklahoma City holds a scoring advantage of 66 points
through the first three games, sixth-seeded Dallas earned Monday's 85-84 win
in Game 2 after Steven Adams' buzzer beater was waved off. Durant finished
with 21 points and seven turnovers, making only 7 of 33 shots.

儘管三戰下來，第三種子雷霆的淨勝分是66分，但是第六種子的小牛曾在第二
戰以85-84險勝，Steven Adams在最後讀秒的捕攔不算，Durant在那場比賽投33
中7，拿到21分，犯下7次失誤。


What a difference three days makes.

His seventh made field goal Thursday came on his ninth attempt midway through
the second quarter en route to a 131-102 road win that re-established control
-- a similar result to last Saturday's 108-70 victory in the opener. The 2014
MVP made 11 of 25 shots for 34 points -- his 34th career 30-point playoff
game.

第二戰與第三戰的差別就大了，KD在第二節中段，該場比賽的第九次出手就命
中了七球，讓雷霆一路領先，以131-102在客場獲勝，再度掌握系列賽的優勢，
這與第一戰108-70大勝的比賽結果很像，2014球季的MVP得主KD第三戰投25中11
拿到34分，這是他生涯第34次季後賽得分破30。


"When I play well, I don't throw a party for myself afterward," Durant said.
"If I play terrible, I'm not going to go out and change anything up. I'm
going to go out there and do the same thing I've been doing."

KD說："當我打得好時，我不會特別高興。當我打得不好時，我也不會多做改
變，就是再回到場上，用一樣的方式打球。"


The Thunder would enjoy a repeat of either Game 1 or 3. Durant scored 57
points on 45 percent shooting in those routs, compared to a 21.2 clip in the
middle contest -- his worst since January 2015.

雷霆希望明天重演第一戰或第三戰的戲碼，KD在兩場大勝中合得57分，命中率
45%，他在第二戰僅有21.2%的命中率，是自從2015年1月以來的單場最低紀錄。


His superstar running mate Russell Westbrook pushed the tempo in the
blowouts, totaling 50 points and 26 assists compared to just 19 and six in
the loss -- though he did have 14 rebounds.

他的明星隊友Russell Westbrook幫助球隊加快節奏，在兩場大勝裡面他一共
拿到50分26助攻，第二戰Westbrook只有19分6助攻，不過抓下了14籃板。


The difference was a speedy pace Dallas simply couldn't keep up with. The
Thunder were efficient Thursday, shooting 57.7 percent for an offensive
rating of 133.1, their highest of the season. After connecting on just 19 of
67 3-point attempts in the opening two games, the Thunder made 15 of 27.

原因很簡單，因為小牛跟不上雷霆的速度。雷霆打的效率極高，命中率57.7%，
平均每100次求權可以拿到133.1分，本季新高紀錄。在前兩戰三分球投67僅中
19之後，第三戰他們投27進15。


Wesley Matthews scored 22 points and Dirk Nowitzki played through a right
knee bruise to add 16 for the Mavs, who were without Deron Williams due to a
sports hernia.

Wesley Matthews拿到22分，Dirk Nowitzki帶著右膝傷勢上場攻下16分，先發
後衛Deron Williams因為運動型疝氣無法上場。


Dallas never led after missing 10 of its first 12 shots from long distance.

在開場的三分球12投有10球落空的情況下，小牛從未在第三戰取得領先。


"The way we won Game 2 was it was a slower-paced game for us, kind of grind
it out," Nowitzki said. "It's going to be tough for us to win a game if they
score 131 points. I don't think we can score 131 right now with the team we
roll out there, the injuries."

Dirk說："我們在第二戰的勝利要歸功於較慢的節奏，我們很難在對手得到131
分時贏球，我認為現在的我們在傷兵這麼多的陣容下，沒辦法得到131分。"


In fact, the Mavericks reached that number once all season in a 132-120 win
over Portland on March 20, and it required overtime.

其實小牛在本季有一次得到這麼高的分數，以132-120打敗波特蘭拓荒者，但
那場比賽打到了二度延長賽。


After Dallas jumped out to an early lead Monday en route to snapping a
five-game skid in this series, the Thunder led from the get-go Thursday. They
made 11 of 20 shots in the first quarter, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range.

小牛在第二戰初期拿到領先優勢，進而搶下勝利，中止對戰的五連敗。不過
雷霆在第三戰開局就不斷猛攻，第一節投20中11，三分球投7中4。


Williams said he didn't feel like he could even run before Game 3, and coach
Rick Carlisle says he's unsure if his point guard will be available Saturday.
The Mavericks are already without Chandler Parsons for at least this series
after knee surgery.

Williams說他在第三戰前幾乎沒辦法跑動，教練Rick Carlisle說D-Will明天
的狀況未定，小牛的Chandler Parsons已經因為膝蓋手術報銷。


David Lee scored six points in nearly 17 minutes in his Dallas playoff debut
after missing the first two games with a right foot injury, while J.J. Barea
had 15 points and seven assists after missing Game 2 with a strained right
groin.

David Lee昨天上場17分鐘得到6分，這是他第一次代表牛出征季後賽，前兩場
比賽他因為右腳受傷缺陣，J.J. Barea在第二戰也因為右側鼠蹊部傷勢缺陣，
昨天他攻下15分7助攻。


希望明天不要是本季最後一場主場比賽呀~
在家鄉父老面前打出好球吧!!

Let's Go Mavs!!
