[外電] Mavericks-Kings Preview
Mavericks-Kings Preview
The steady improvement of rookie Ben McLemore has been a bright spot during
an otherwise difficult season for the Sacramento Kings.
沙加緬度國王的前途依然黑暗,但新秀Ben McLemore的進步讓他們看到一絲光芒。
The Kings have lost four straight at home and will look for McLemore to help
turn things around Monday night when they host the Dallas Mavericks.
國王目前吞下了主場四連敗,希望McLemore能用好表現來扭轉局勢,明天他們要對
上達拉斯小牛。
McLemore, the seventh pick in this year's draft, has seen his playing time
and production rise as the season has progressed. He logged a season-high 38
minutes Saturday at Utah and hit a 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds remaining to
force overtime.
今年第七順位的McLemore,上場時間不斷遞增,昨天他上場本季新高的38分鐘,
在最後3.2秒砍進追平三分,把比賽拉到延長,最後國王以112-102踢館擊敗猶他
爵士。
Sacramento (5-13) went on to win 112-102, and McLemore finished with 15
points and nine rebounds. DeMarcus Cousins led the way with 28 points and
Isaiah Thomas added 26, including 23 after halftime.
國王的戰績來到5勝13敗,McLemore攻下15分9籃板,DeMarcus Cousins拿下28分
為全隊最高,而Isaiah Thomas攻下26分,包括半場攻下23分。
"Isaiah was telling me after the huddle that I was going to hit a big shot,"
McLemore said. "And I thought I was going to make it even though I had missed
a couple of 3s earlier."
McLemore說:"Isaiah跟我說讓我來投最後一擊,我認為我一定會投進,儘管我之
前有幾次出手沒進。"
Thomas called McLemore's clutch basket, "the biggest shot of his NBA career
so far."
Thomas說McLemore這球是他生涯目前最重要的一擊。
The Kings need his development to continue for an offense that ranks 24th in
the NBA with a 43.0-percent field-goal percentage. McLemore is second among
rookies in points per game at 10.1, but he's averaged 13.7 over the last six
games. He scored a career-high 20 on Dec. 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
國王需要加強進攻,本季國王命中率僅43.0%為聯盟第24,McLemore平均10.1分為
新秀第二高分,不過他最近六戰平均13.7分,在前幾天對上洛杉磯湖人攻下生涯最
高的20分。
"We've been waiting on one of those from Ben," Cousins said of McLemore's
clutch shooting against the Jazz.
Cousins談到McLemore的那球,說:"我們就等著他投進這關鍵球。"
The Mavericks (13-8) have dominated the Kings in recent years, going 23-3
against them since April 4, 2006 - including victories in the past five
meetings.
13勝8敗的小牛最近幾年對國王展現壓倒性的優勢,自從2006年4月以來對戰取得
23勝3敗的上風,最近也拿下對戰五連勝。
Dallas is coming off a dramatic 108-106 victory over Western
Conference-leading Portland on Saturday. Monta Ellis sank a 21-foot jumper as
time expired to give the Mavs their third consecutive victory.
小牛昨天以108-106戲劇性的客場打敗西區龍頭波特蘭拓荒者,Monta Ellis投進
21呎的致勝壓紹球,讓小牛拿下三連勝。
Dirk Nowitzki has played well over the last four games, averaging 24.3 points
on 53.4 percent shooting. Against Portland, he scored 28 to go with seven
assists and six rebounds.
Dirk Nowitzki最近四戰表現亮眼,平均攻下24.3分,命中率53.4%,他昨天攻下28
分6籃板7助攻。
Even with Ellis leading the team in scoring at 21.6 points per game, Nowitzki
remains the catalyst on offense for the Mavericks.
儘管Ellis平均21.6分為全隊最高,不過Dirk還是小牛的進攻重心。
"We were throwing it to (Dirk) every time," coach Rick Carlisle said of his
team's strategy against Portland. "You know, he's going to cause something to
happen, something good, and he's going to make it tough on them, so we've got
to get the ball in his hands."
小牛教練Rick Carlisle談到昨天的比賽:"我們一直把球餵給Dirk,他會創造奇
蹟,讓對手備感壓力,我們會盡量把球傳給他。"
The win over the Trail Blazers was the second on a four-game road trip for
Dallas, which also faces Golden State before returning home next Saturday.
小牛在擊敗拓荒者後,客場四連戰拿下前兩勝,小牛的客場之旅將在金州作結。
"Every win is huge, every win you can get is huge," Carlisle said. "We hadn't
been playing great on the road this year. Our hope is that we can build some
chemistry, build some togetherness out here, which isn't easy.
(Portland) is a hard place to play. Sacramento is hard to play, Golden State
is hard to play. So, we have to be really together and this is a positive
step in the right direction in a win."
卡帥說:"每一勝都很重要,每一場能拿下的勝利都很重要,我們今年客場表現
不佳,希望我們能在之後打出好的化學效應,展現團隊氣勢,這並不容易。波特
蘭是個難打的客場,沙加緬度跟金州也不好打,我們真的得團結一心,才能拿下
勝利。"
明天打國王 希望能維持最近的氣勢!!
Let's Go Mavs!!
