[外電] Pacers-Mavericks Preview

[DM24Tim (黃金右腳)]

With some new additions in the mix, the Dallas Mavericks are playing like a
team with a renewed sense of purpose.

The Mavericks look to continue their solid play with a fourth straight
victory Monday night while trying for a sixth consecutive home win over the
Indiana Pacers.

新球員慢慢融入，這樣的好表現讓小牛期待明天對溜馬的比賽能拿下最近的四連勝，
以及主場對陣溜馬的六連勝。


Dallas (35-21) lost five of seven heading into the All-Star break, then
dropped its first game back by 13 points at Oklahoma City. The Southwest
Division-leading Mavericks have bounced back with wins against playoff
contenders Phoenix, Orlando and Miami.

The Mavericks are fourth in the Western Conference, but poised to improve
thatposition.

小牛在明星賽前一度七戰五敗，之後又慘敗給雷霆13分，但小牛在最近面對太陽、魔
術、熱火這三支季後賽球隊反彈並拿下連勝。


"We had 30 games left after the All-Star break," said guard Jason Kidd, who
had 21 points and 11 assists in a 97-91 win over the Heat on Saturday. "Being
a veteran ballclub, we understand what's at stake. So the dress rehearsal is
over and we've got to get serious."

Nowitzki scored 28 points and newcomer Caron Butler added 20 against a Miami
team playing without injured superstar Dwyane Wade.

Kidd說："明星賽後有30場比賽，做為一個老練的球隊，我們很清楚現狀，排演已經結束
而我們將會認真以赴。"在上一場擊敗少了Wade因傷缺陣的熱火的比賽當中，Dirk拿下28
分，Butler得到20分，Kidd則是有21分11助攻的好表現。


Though they've only been with the team for a week, Butler and center Brendan
Haywood appear to be paying dividends for the Mavericks after being acquired,
along with DeShawn Stevenson, from Washington for underachieving veterans
Josh Howard, Drew Gooden and two others.

Butler is averaging 16.0 points in a more limited offensive role in four
games with his new team, while Haywood has put up 10.8 points and 8.7
rebounds in his first four contests with the Mavericks. The pair also seems
to be helping the team improve on the defensive end.

加入小牛差不多一週的新同學以Butler跟Haywood最為突出，Butler稍微比之前受到限
制，他場均有16分。Haywood則是有10.8分8.7籃板的演出，兩人在防守端都做出貢獻。


Dallas' four opponents since the break are averaging 93.0 points on 44.1
percent shooting. In going 3-5 prior to the break, the Mavericks gave up
112.4 points and their opponents shot 52.9 percent during that span.

明星賽後四戰，小牛平均失分為93分，對手命中率有只有43%。而在之前八戰平均失
分則高達112.4分，對手命中率52.9%，那段時間小牛是3勝5敗。


"I think we're getting better," Nowitzki told the Mavericks' official Web
site. "If good players just play off each other and play unselfish and play
together, we'll be OK...It's been fun."

The fun could continue as the Mavericks try for a fifth consecutive victory
overall against the Pacers (19-36). Dallas has won eight of nine overall
against Indiana, and nine of 10 at home in the series.

Dirk說："我們正在慢慢變好，如果每個人互相協助並且無私演出，我們會是支不錯的
球隊，這很有趣。"這個樂趣有機會在明天小牛拿下對戰溜馬的五連勝後持續，目前對
上溜馬小牛贏了近9場中的8場，主場則是10場中贏了9場。


Nowitzki, who had 31 points in a 113-92 win at Indiana on Nov. 27, is
averaging 27.5 points in his last 11 games versus the Pacers. Butler is
averaging 27.3 and 9.3 rebounds in his last six against Indiana.

在本季先前客場對上溜馬以113-92大勝的比賽中，Dirk拿下31分，近11場對上溜馬
也有平均27.5分的好表現，Butler最近對溜馬的6戰也有平均27.3分9.3籃板的高水
準演出。


Though the Mavericks are averaging 109.6 points and shooting 50.9 percent
during their five-game home winning streak over the Pacers, Indiana enters
this contest coming off a 125-115 at Houston on Saturday.

小牛在主場對溜馬的五連勝中平均拿下109.6分，命中率則高達50.9%，但溜馬上一
仗以125-115在休士頓踢館成功。


Danny Granger matched a season high with 36 points and T.J. Ford scored 19 of
his season-high 23 in the second half as the Pacers snapped a four-game
losing streak and improved to 7-21 on the road.

"It's been a rough season for all of us," said Ford, averaging 10.5 points in
37 games this season. "We understand teams are really going to look past us
and it's an opportunity for us to try to win a lot of games and get back in
the hunt."

Granger is averaging 28.8 points in his last four contests, but 10.8 in four
career road games against the Mavericks.

妙麗上一場拿下平本季新高的36分，Ford也拿下本季新高的23分，其中有19分是下半
場取得，溜馬中止了客場的4連敗，成績提升至7勝21敗。妙麗近4戰平均28.8分，但
生涯在達拉斯的四場出賽平均得分只有10.8分。



溜馬上役贏的漂亮　但我們近況也很好

贏面不小  希望明天能穩穩拿下
