Rockets-Mavericks Preview Fatigue may be a concern for the Dallas Mavericks, who will play three games in the next four nights. 達拉斯小牛在接下來的四天內要打三場比賽，疲勞是他們可能會碰上的麻煩。 The slumping Houston Rockets have even bigger worries. 而對休士頓火箭來說，最近的低潮更讓他們頭痛。 The Mavericks will try to avoid losing their third straight while the Rockets look to stop a four-game skid as the two playoff hopefuls face off Wednesday night at American Airlines Center. 小牛明天希望避免三連敗，火箭則是要中止四連敗，這兩支在西區季後賽邊緣的球隊將在American Airlines Center正面對決。 With four games remaining, Dallas (34-28) is in seventh place in the Western Conference - 1 1/2 games ahead of Houston and Phoenix, which are tied for eighth, and two games up on 10th-place Utah. 戰績34勝28敗的小牛本季還剩四場比賽，目前位居西區第七，以一場半領先並列第八的火箭與鳳凰城太陽，與第十位的猶他爵士還有兩場勝差。 The Mavericks have a tough final stretch of games, with three opponents in playoff contention - including road games against Chicago and Atlanta. However, they have won six in a row over the Rockets, including both meetings this season. 小牛接下來的賽程有點硬，有三個對手是分區前八的球隊，包括客場面對芝加哥公牛與亞特蘭大老鷹。不過小牛已經拿下對戰火箭的六連勝，包括今年兩戰皆勝。 Dallas has made things a little harder on itself with back-to-back losses beyond regulation to the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah. 小牛浪費了把勝差拉開的機會，他們連續兩天在延長賽敗北，輸給了洛杉磯湖人和爵士。 The Mavericks came back from a late 10-point deficit in regulation Monday against the Jazz, but fell 123-121 in triple overtime. Dirk Nowitzki scored 40 points, but none in the third overtime, missing three shots. 小牛從第四節落後10分緊追不捨，但到了三度延長賽還是以 121-123敗給爵士。Dirk Nowitzki攻下40分，不過在第三度延長時投3中0，一分未得。 "The good thing about the overtimes is we knew they were going to kind of run out of gas," Utah's Al Jefferson said. "They are an older team, they played (Sunday). So we knew the shots were going to start falling a little short. I am surprised they lasted as long as they did." 爵士的Al Jefferson說："延長賽對我們有利，我覺得他們的體力已經耗盡了。他們年紀比較大，而且前一天也打到延長，我們也看的出來對方的球開始投短了，不過我很意外他們能堅持這麼久。" The Mavericks came up short Monday after fading Sunday against the Lakers, shooting 38.5 percent in the fourth quarter and overtime of a 112-108 defeat. Dallas has lost three overtime games this month by a combined eight points. 小牛在前一天後繼無力以108-112敗給湖人，他們在第四節與延長賽的命中率只有38.5%。小牛在這個月的三場延長賽吞了三連敗，總共輸了八分。 Frustration may be setting in. Delonte West earned a technical foul in the second quarter Monday after fouling Gordon Hayward away from the ball then poking his index finger in Hayward's ear. 小牛也許感到有些灰心，Delonte West在昨天第二節比賽時先對Gordon Hayward犯了一規，然後用食指戳Hayward的耳朵而吃到技術犯規。 "We are two warriors, out here battling," said West, who may be facing a fine. "I forgot the NBA is a gentleman's game." 可能面臨罰款的West表示："我們都是在場上拼戰的戰士，我忘了在NBA的比賽裡要保持紳士風度。" The Rockets (32-29) are trying to stave off a late-season collapse as they head into their final five games. 戰績32勝29敗的火箭則是要避免在季末崩盤，他們要迎接最後的五場比賽。 Houston, which trailed by at least 16 points in each of the first three losses during its slide, was swept in a crucial home-and-home series with Denver, losing 105-102 at home Monday. 火箭在四連敗的前三場都落後至少16分，而最後兩敗則是主客場都敗給丹佛金塊，昨天以102-105在主場輸球。 Goran Dragic and Chandler Parsons scored 21 points each, but Parsons missed a desperation 3-pointer in the final seconds. The Rockets have been in a shooting slump over the past week, connecting on 39.5 percent of their shots the last four games. Goran Dragic與Chandler Parsons各攻下21分，不過Parsons 在第四節最後幾秒時孤注一擲的三分球失手。火箭上禮拜的投籃陷入低潮，在最近四場中命中率只有39.5%。 "The guys are hurting right now," coach Kevin McHale said. "We'll regroup and we've got to go to Dallas and find a way. ... We were sitting good a few games ago and now we're not sitting so good." 教練Kevin McHale表示："這些傢伙很受傷，我們會重新振作並且想辦法在達拉斯贏球，我們在幾場比賽之前還維持在西區前八，但現在不太穩了。" The offensive struggles also seem to be impacting the Rockets' defense, with the team giving up an average of 105.3 points during the losing streak. 進攻的低潮看起來連帶影響了火箭的防守，他們在這波連敗中平均失分高達105.3分。 Houston will try to regroup as it heads on the road for its next two, playing the first of two remaining games against lowly New Orleans on Thursday. The Rockets face Golden State and Miami this weekend. 火箭希望在這波客場之旅止跌，他們還要做客紐澳良，在剩下的賽程中他們要對上黃蜂兩次，另外還要碰上金州勇士與邁阿密熱火。 "We need to win three or four games out of these last five to have a really good shot at it," forward Luis Scola said. "With five (wins) I think we're going to be in the playoffs. But right now we can't think that way. We've just got to try to think about getting one." 前鋒Luis Scola說："我們得在最後五場贏下三到四場，才有機會進季後賽。我們如果五場全勝就非常有機會晉級，但我們不能這樣想，要先把注意力集中在下一場比賽。" 明天對兩隊來說是很關鍵又很殘酷的一戰希望小牛能把握機會啊 Let's Go Mavs!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.174.89
