[外電] Timberwolves-Mavericks Preview

[DM24Tim (黃金右腳)]

The Dallas Mavericks stumbled in the Minnesota Timberwolves' last visit to
the American Airlines Center. New faces on the Mavericks' roster, along with
the team's much-improved play, could lead to a different outcome Wednesday
night.

Dallas looks to win nine straight for the first time in three seasons when it
hosts a Timberwolves team that is missing one of its best players.

小牛在上一次灰狼造訪時意外的輸球，而如今小牛改頭換面，也進步了非常多，可能會
讓這次的結果不同。這也是小牛尋求三年來最長的九連勝的好機會，因為灰狼主將之一
將無法出賽。


The Mavericks (40-21) fell 117-108 to the Timberwolves on Feb. 5, snapping
their 13-game winning streak against Minnesota. Dallas, which had won seven
in a row at home in the series, was in the midst of a 2-6 stretch.

The Mavericks, though, have followed that slump with their longest win streak
since a nine-game run from March 16-30, 2007. The run has been sparked by the
acquisition of Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood from Washington on Feb. 13,
as Dallas has taken a 4 1/2-game lead over San Antonio for the Southwest
Division lead.

小牛2月初主場108-117敗給灰狼，中斷了對戰灰狼的13連勝，包括了主場的7連勝，那
場敗仗是包含在之前8戰6敗的大低潮當中。不過小牛近來拿到了07年以來最長的八連
勝，而主要是歸因於與巫師的交易中得到Butler和Haywood兩位能手的幫助，目前在分區
小牛也穩定的領先了馬刺有4場半。


"We've got a good thing going on right now," Butler said after scoring 22
points in a 89-84 victory at Charlotte on Monday. "We just wanted to keep
them going and help the team build momentum. We want to prove that we're one
of the better teams in the league right now."

Butler, who missed two games last week due to a bad reaction to medication,
is averaging 16.1 points and 4.9 rebounds with the Mavs.

上一場拿下22分幫助球隊客場擊敗山貓的Butler說:"我們現在打的很好，我們要繼續下
去，並且維持這股動力，證明我們是聯盟頂尖球隊之一。"Butler上週缺陣兩場，而他
加入小牛之後平均可以得到16.1分4.9籃板。


With Erick Dampier out following surgery last month to close a dislocation on
his right middle finger, Haywood has more than picked up the slack, averaging
10.8 points and 10.0 rebounds with his new team.

頂替上個月右手中指脫臼動手術的Dampier先發，Haywood做出了比扛起重任更多的貢
獻，加入球隊之後平均拿下10.8分10.0籃板。


With the recent acquisitions contributing, Dirk Nowitzki continues to put up
outstanding numbers, averaging 29.1 points and 7.8 rebounds during the
winning streak. He scored 21 points with eight boards last month against
Minnesota (14-47), coming off the bench for the first time since Dec. 14,
1999, after arriving late for the pregame shootaround.

隨著外援的來到，Dirk Nowitzki也持續高檔的演出，8連勝中平均得到29.1分7.8籃
板，上一場對上灰狼時他拿下21分8籃板，那場比賽他因為賽前練球遲到而被罰坐板
凳，是從1999年之後首次的替補出賽。


The Mavericks will be trying to win a season-high sixth straight at home as
they face a Timberwolves team that is 5-26 on the road and missing leading
scorer Al Jefferson.

小牛也希望拿下本季新高的主場6連勝，對上的灰狼客場戰績僅有5-26，並且隊上的
得分王Al Jefferson無法上場。


After a 19-point, 11-rebound performance in a 110-91 loss to Portland on
Saturday, Jefferson was arrested early Sunday by the Minnesota State Patrol
on suspicion of DWI. The Timberwolves suspended Jefferson for two games
without pay, starting Wednesday.

"It was just a major mistake that happened. I made a stupid choice,"
Jefferson said. "...In a way I'm glad it happened because that I know what I
know, I'll never do it again."

上一場對上拓荒者的比賽中，Jefferson拿下19分11籃板，球隊以91-110輸球，但上週
日Jefferson被明尼蘇達當地的巡警因為涉嫌酒駕逮捕，而他將被球隊禁賽兩場，明天
開始。Jefferson說:"這是個很大的錯誤，我太愚蠢了。我很慶幸我知道自己做錯了什
麼，這不會再發生了。"


Without Jefferson, coach Kurt Rambis will likely have to lean more heavily on
second-year forward Kevin Love as the Wolves try to snap a three-game slide.
Love, averaging 16.0 points and 10.8 rebounds in the last eight games, had 17
and 11 off the bench against Dallas in February.

He missed an 89-77 home loss to the Mavericks on Nov. 13 due to a broken bone
in his left hand.

Jefferson將缺賽，因此灰狼教頭Rambis將會更加依靠二年級生Kevin Love來中止最近
的3連敗，最近八場比賽他平均能拿下16分10.8籃板，上次對陣小牛也從板凳貢獻了17
分11籃板的數據。兩隊本季首次在明尼蘇達交手的比賽中他因為左手內有碎骨而沒有出
賽，那天小牛以89-77勝出。


Minnesota rookie point guard Jonny Flynn has fared well against Dallas' Jason
Kidd in two meetings this season, averaging 15.0 points and 5.5 assists.
Flynn led six Wolves in double figures with 19 points at the American
Airlines Center last month.

Minnesota hosts Dallas on Monday in the teams' final meeting this season.

灰狼的菜鳥控衛Jonny Flynn對小牛的Kidd很有一套，兩場平均拿下15分5.5助攻，是上
次在達拉斯得超過10分的六名球員之一，其中他拿到19分。下週一灰狼主場面對小牛的
比賽是本季兩隊最後一次的交手。



主場總不能輸給灰狼兩次吧

對方還缺了AJ  請穩穩拿下九連勝吧!!
