The Mavericks made their mini-road trip a success by beating the Atlanta
Hawks.
It just got better after the Mavs boarded the team jet to return to Dallas.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz, the two teams directly ahead of the
10th-place Mavs in the West standings, both lost late games.
小牛結束一個短暫卻成功的客場之旅回到達拉斯，他們踢館老鷹成功而排名前面兩位的湖
人和爵士都輸球
Here come the Mavs, three games out of the last playoff spot entering a
six-game homestand. Per the Hollinger playoff odds, the Mavs have a 14.5
percent chance of extending their postseason streak to 13 years.
小牛帶著落後三場的勝差迎接主場六連戰，根據計算小牛還有14.5%的機率能將連續打進
季後賽的紀錄延續到13年(有誰知道這是怎麼算的嗎)
Not that Dirk Nowitzki wants to get bogged down with details, numbers and
scenarios. At this point, the face of the Mavs’ franchise prefers to keep
things very simple.
Dirk不想陷進那些複雜的數字計算，在這個時間點小牛的王牌希望把這些局面弄得非常簡
單
“We’re going to fight at the end,” Nowitzki told reporters. “We’ll see
where that brings us at the end. I think we want to fight for every night and
not look at the big picture. We want to win the next game, and that’s what
we need to focus on and really leave it all out there.”
Dirk告訴記者：我們將會奮戰到最後一刻，我們不需要看得太遠，我們真正需要的是專注
在每場比賽上想辦法去贏球
Since the season’s low point, when the Mavs dropped to 10 games under .500
for the first time since right after Mark Cuban bought the team in 2000,
Dallas has performed like a playoff team. The Mavs are 19-12 in their last 31
games, a .613 winning percentage, a.k.a. a 50-win pace.
小牛已經從谷底反彈，低於五成勝率10場比賽是自從Cuban在2000年買下小牛之後的第一
次，在那之後小牛終於打的像一支季後賽球隊，近31場比賽拿下19勝12敗，差不多就是50
勝球隊的勝率
That still hasn’t been enough for the Mavs to dig out of the huge hole they
dug themselves – or even shave – but they’ve given themselves hope with 15
games remaining.
“The second part of the season, we’re just a different team,” Vince Carter
told reporters. “Guys are just learning. That’s just the way it is. I think
we’ve stayed the course and been relentless.”
這些還不足以填補自己挖的大洞，噢還有剃鬍子，但他們仍然對最後15場比賽抱著希望，
VC告訴記者：我們在下半季已經是個截然不同的隊伍，大夥都持續成長，我想我們會持續
奮鬥不懈
Added Darren Collison: "We still believe. We still believe we can make it.
There's no quit in us. We believe that every game from here out we can get a
win. We're talented enough. We've got the players to do it."
Collison補充道：我們依然相信我們做得到，絕不放棄，我們相信全隊有能力去贏得每一
場比賽
A few more notes from the Mavs’ highest-scoring game of the season:
在本季得分新高之後的的一些賽後短評
1. Defense rests: Coach Rick Carlisle described the Mavs’ 127-113 win in
Atlanta as a “defensive pillow fight.”
1. 防守睡著了：卡帥形容這場高得分的比賽像是枕頭大戰
Needless to say, he wasn’t ecstatic with allowing the Hawks to shoot 56
percent from the floor, although Carlisle acknowledged that he’d take the
win and run.
不用說，卡帥當然不滿意讓老鷹有高達56%的命中率，雖然他表示比賽都在掌握之中
Carlisle’s point was that the Mavs would have to play better defense for
this six-game homestand, which starts Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets and
features nothing but plus-.500 foes, to be a happy one. Nowitzki hammered
that point home in the locker room.
卡帥的重點在小牛必須在接下來六場主場比賽中做好防守，從對籃網開始，每一隊都是五
成勝率以上的強隊
“I don’t think we’re happy with our defensive outing, but offensively that
’s just about as good as we’ve played all year,” Nowitzki said. “We’ve
got a big homestand coming up. We’ve got to be better defensively than that.
”
Dirk在休息室說：我不認為我們會滿意現在的防守，我們接著有一連串主場的比賽，我們
必須把防守做得更好(這整段翻得不大好，有沒有人能幫忙補充修正@"@)
2. Collison on point: Darren Collison lit up the Hawks for 24 points on
10-of-14 shooting, his second-highest scoring game of the season. It was the
first time Collison scored at least 20 points since Jan. 14.
2. 火燙的DC：Collison對老鷹14投10中拿下個人本季第二高分的24分，也是他自從1/14
後再一次得分超過20分
Collison took over the game in the second quarter, scoring 15 points in the
frame on an array of jumpers, drives to the basket and cuts for layups.
"I was able to get it going," Collison told reporters. "A lot of players in
this league, once they get it going, that basket looks bigger and bigger, and
that's what happened in the second quarter."
Collison在第二節接管比賽，靠著一系列的跳投和切入籃下拿下15分，Collison告訴記者
：我殺紅眼了，聯盟中有很多球員一旦殺紅了眼籃框就變得和海一樣大，就是我在第二節
的狀態
3. Making use of Morrow: Anthony Morrow made by far his biggest impact for
the Mavericks in his return to Atlanta, the team that traded him to Dallas at
the deadline.
3. Morrow的上場：Morrow在交易截止日被交易來小牛隊後第一次派上用場
Morrow played 13 minutes – more than twice his total playing time for the
Mavs entering the night – and had eight points and three assists. That
included some meaningful minutes in the first half. Morrow, known for his
long-range marksmanship, has still yet to hit a 3-pointer for the Mavs. He
didn’t attempt one against the Hawks, but he was 3-for-4 from the floor and
moved the ball crisply and efficiently when the Hawks closed out on him in
3-point territory.
“We dusted off Anthony Morrow,” Nowitzki joked.
Morrow打了13分鐘，比他在小牛隊之前上場的總時間還多了2倍，還拿下了8分3助攻，這
些不完全是在垃圾時間中洗出來的。Morrow以他的三分投射能力聞名，不過他還沒有在小
牛隊投進過三分球，對老鷹的比賽也沒有嘗試出手，不過他還是4投3中，當防守者在三分
線上對到他時也能將球做有效的流動
Dirk開玩笑說：我們把他身上的灰塵擦掉啦
==============================================================================
從最近的發言看來小牛全隊絲毫沒有放棄
球迷更沒有理由放棄 加油吧!!
