[外電] Mavericks-Suns Preview
Mavericks-Suns Preview
The Dallas Mavericks haven't won away from home in nearly three weeks, and
their upcoming stretch of three road games in three nights may have come at
an inopportune time.
達拉斯小牛已經將近三個禮拜沒在客場贏球了，不幸的是，接下來
他們將迎來三天內前往三個城市的客場之旅。
They have a solid chance of ending that streak, though, considering their
recent dominance of the Phoenix Suns.
不過他們很有機會明天就在客場止敗，因為他們最近與鳳凰城太陽
的交手可以說是戰無不勝。
Dallas looks to avoid a fifth straight road loss Thursday night by sweeping
another season series from Phoenix, which has won five of its last six at
home.
小牛明天要避免吞下客場五連敗，同時也希望連續兩季在季賽的對
戰中橫掃太陽，不過太陽在最近的六場主場比賽中贏了五場。
The struggling Mavericks (23-17) have won only twice in their last seven
games overall, though Dirk Nowitzki's 28 points helped them earn a 95-85 home
win over New York on Tuesday.
戰績23勝17敗並且陷入低潮的小牛在最近七場比賽裏只贏了兩場，
昨天Dirk Nowitzki攻下28分，帶領小牛以95-85打敗紐約尼克。
"This was a much-needed win. It was a big character win," said Jason Kidd,
who scored 15 points.
Jason Kidd昨天攻下15分，他說："我們很需要這一勝。"
Dallas is in the midst of playing nine games in 12 days, and it will make
trips to Sacramento on Friday and Golden State on Saturday to conclude that
stretch.
小牛最近12天有9場比賽要打，在這最後3場中他們還要前往沙加
緬度與金州作客。
Starting center Brendan Haywood's status is uncertain after he sat out
Tuesday with a sprained left ankle, but coach Rick Carlisle said he'll travel
with the team.
昨天因為左腳踝扭傷而缺賽的先發中鋒Brendan Haywood明天的
狀況還不明朗，但教練Rick Carlisle說他會隨隊出征。
Nowitzki has done his part over the last three games, averaging 31.7 points
and shooting 52.5 percent from the field. He scored 24 in the second half
Tuesday.
Dirk在最近三場比賽中發揮的淋漓盡致，平均攻下31.7分，命中
率52.5%，昨天他在下半場包辦24分。
"The rhythm I had there in the second half, I was definitely looking for the
ball," Nowitzki said. "I was chasing the ball sometimes, I was looking at
Kidd and basically telling him, 'Just bring it over here and let me try and
take it home.'"
Dirk表示："我在下半場找到節奏，我很積極的要球，有時候我看
著Kidd並跟他說：'你就把球傳給我然後讓我擺平一切吧'。"
It's winning on the road that's been the problem for the Mavericks.
不過在客場取勝是小牛最近遇到的難題。
They've lost a season-high four straight road games, the last being a 95-91
loss at Oklahoma City on Monday. Kidd was fined $25,000 for criticizing the
officiating after that contest.
小牛目前客場四連敗，最近一場就是以91-95敗給奧克拉荷馬雷霆，
賽後Kidd因為批評裁判被罰了2萬5千美元。
Another trip to Phoenix may help end that skid after Dallas routed the Suns
122-99 on Jan. 30 in its last visit. That marked the club's eighth
consecutive win over Phoenix, which played without Steve Nash due to a left
thigh contusion.
好消息是明天他們將前往鳳凰城，上次交手小牛在客場以122-99
大勝，同時拿下了對戰的八連勝，但是上一次Steve Nash因為左
大腿挫傷缺陣。
The Suns, though, have their point guard back and went 5-1 on a six-game
homestand from Feb. 19 through Sunday before falling 115-104 at Oklahoma City
on Wednesday.
不過這次Nash回來了，並且在最近六場主場拿下5勝1敗，然而今
天他們以104-115客場敗給雷霆。
Nash had 12 points and 13 assists and Marcin Gortat finished with a
career-high 28 points and 11 rebounds for Phoenix (17-21), which blew a
16-point second-half lead and was outscored 31-16 in the fourth quarter.
Nash今天攻下12分13助攻，Marcin Gortat攻下生涯新高的28分
11籃板，目前17勝21敗的太陽浪費了下半場16分的領先，並且在
第四節被打出16-31的比數。
"I thought we gave ourself a chance and we just weren't able to close it
out," coach Alvin Gentry said. "You hope for a chance to be able to compete
and put yourself in a position to where maybe making a couple of plays down
the stretch you'll be able to win the game."
教練Alvin Gentry說："我們有機會贏的，但就是沒做好收尾。
我們希望每場比賽都能競爭到最後一刻，並且有機會投進關鍵
的球來贏得比賽。"
Nash, who played for the Mavericks from 1998-2004, has averaged 11.4 assists
in his last five games against his former team, though he's scored eight
points or fewer in three of those contests.
Nash曾經在1998-2004年效力小牛，他在最近五次對上小牛平均
可以送出11.4次助攻，不過他在其中三次對戰最多只得到8分。
He went 2 for 9 from the field in Dallas during a 93-87 loss Jan. 23, when
former Suns forward Shawn Marion scored a game-high 29 points. Nowitzki
didn't play that night, sitting out with a sore right knee.
在1月23日的比賽中，他投9只中2，前太陽球員Shawn Marion攻
下本季新高的29分，而Dirk則是因為右膝痠痛沒上場，太陽以
87-93輸球。
Nowitzki scored 20 points and Nash had a solid 15-point, 12-assist
performance Jan. 4 in Dallas' 98-89 win.
在1月4號的交手中，Dirk攻下20分，Nash也有15分12助攻的好
表現，不過小牛以98-89取勝。
Phoenix's last victory in the series was a 112-106 home win Jan. 28, 2010.
太陽上一次打敗小牛，要追溯到2010年1月28號，以112-106在
主場獲勝。
希望三連戰首場能打出好彩頭
Let's Go Mavs!!
