Mavericks-Nuggets Preview Dirk Nowitzki joked after a loss to San Antonio that the Mavericks don't "want to see anyone" in the playoffs, given their recent record against winning teams. 在客場敗給聖安東尼奧馬刺之後，Dirk Nowitzki開玩笑的說球隊在季後賽最想碰到的對手是--"哪隊都不想"，因為達拉斯小牛面對到前段班的戰績淒慘無比。 Dallas hasn't beaten any of its likely first-round opponents in more than two months - and that's assuming the Mavericks get in after a 12-year streak of reaching the playoffs ended last season. 小牛在最近兩個月沒有一次贏過西區第一輪的可能對手，當然，前提是小牛能重返季後賽，上季是他們13年來首度錯過季後賽。 At the moment, Dallas (36-25) is one of four teams in a tight battle for the final three playoff spots in the Western Conference. 36勝25敗的小牛，正在西區後段掙扎，希望能在四搶三中獲得一席之地。 And yes, Nowitzki says, the Mavericks need to beat Portland on Friday. Or Oklahoma City when they play twice in a span of nine days. Or the Los Angeles Clippers in a pair of games a week apart. 沒錯，Dirk也說了，小牛需要在過幾天後贏過波特蘭拓荒者，或是贏過九天內要兩度遇上的奧克拉荷馬雷霆，或是兩週內要面對兩次的洛杉磯快艇。 "Not necessarily just for confidence but also because we want to stay in the playoff hunt," Nowitzki said. "If we keep losing against the good teams, most of our games left are against teams with winning records. We've got to keep winning at a high clip if we want to make it and so the pressure's on. You gotta love it." Dirk說："我們不只是要找尋信心，我們也要位季後賽的席位努力。我們的賽程接下來有很多是五成以上勝率的對手，要是打不贏這些強隊就麻煩了。如果想打進季後賽，就得抵抗壓力，贏過這些球隊，我們樂於迎接挑戰。" A 112-106 loss to the Spurs on Sunday dropped Dallas to 0-6 against the top five teams in the West since a victory against Houston on Dec. 23. 在12月23日打敗休士頓火箭之後，小牛對上西區前五吞下了六連敗，昨天以 106-112客場敗給馬刺。 Since then, the Mavericks have blown big leads at home against the Rockets and Clippers. They've fallen 38 points behind the Trail Blazers, also at home. They haven't been able to get a substantial lead against the Spurs. 小牛在主場對上火箭與快艇都花光了大幅領先落敗，一度在主場落後拓荒者38 分，而對上馬刺小牛幾乎連領先都做不到。 All of which means nothing to coach Rick Carlisle because all he sees is Wednesday night's game at Denver, which has been in free fall because of injuries but finally has point guard Ty Lawson back. 小牛教練Rick Carlisle明天不想看到上述的任何問題，小牛將前往丹佛挑戰金塊，金塊的戰績在Ty Lawson受傷後直直落，不過他最近終於歸隊了。 "The analysis of which teams are better ones and all that, I mean, we're going to see them when we see them," Carlisle said. "Right now, we've got to focus on Denver." 卡帥說："分析我們跟前面的列強比孰強孰弱不是重點，我們彼此碰上就能見真章，我們目前得把專注力放在金塊隊上。" It might appear easy for the Mavs to overlook the Nuggets, who have dropped six in a row and 11 of 12 after a 132-128 loss to Minnesota on Monday. However, Denver won its first two matchups with Dallas this season in the span of three days late in November and has won four of five in the series. 小牛可能會忽略了金塊，金塊昨天以128-132在主場敗給明尼蘇達灰狼，吞下六連敗，近12戰輸了11場。不過金塊本季在三天內兩度面對小牛連勝兩場，最近五次對戰贏了四場。 The Nuggets (25-34) have tumbled 10 games back in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West with 23 contests remaining. Denver hasn't missed the playoffs since 2003. 25勝34敗的金塊落後西區第八到了10場勝差，他們只剩下23場比賽。自從2003 年，金塊還沒有掉出西區前八過。 "Just have to play harder, harder on defense," Lawson said. "Come out with a sense of urgency." Lawson說："我們得打的更努力，防守更紮實，上緊發條打球。" After the Nuggets, the Mavericks get the Blazers at home, followed two nights later by East-leading Indiana. The Pacers actually represent the last impressive win for Dallas in the final game before the break. 在打完金塊之後，小牛要回家打拓荒者，兩天後要在家碰上東區龍頭印第安納溜馬，不過小牛上一場打敗強權的比賽，就是在明星賽前客場擊敗溜馬。 The victory at Indiana came during a 10-2 stretch for Dallas, but eight of the wins were against teams with losing records. After four straight wins against sub-.500 teams, the Mavericks had a big lead early against Chicago on Friday but let the Bulls pull away in the fourth quarter. 小牛在那時一度打出10勝2敗的高潮，不過其中8勝是來自勝率不到五成的球隊，在連續四場打敗五成以下的球隊後，小牛在主場浪費了大幅領先，第四節被芝加哥公牛給拉開了比分落敗。 Now Dallas has lost two straight to winning teams. After facing the Nuggets, the Mavericks get three straight winning teams. That happens again when they figure to be battling for a playoff berth in the last three games, including the finale at Memphis, one of the teams in the battle for the final three spots. 小牛面對五成以上球隊已經二連敗了，在打完金塊之後，小牛又要碰上三隊五成勝率以上球隊。小牛本季還有一次連續三場碰上五成勝率以上球隊，就是球季的最後三戰，最終戰將跟曼斐斯灰熊攤牌。 "You either rise to the challenge or you don't," Carlisle said. "And right now our mindset is we've got to rise above all challenges, but we've got to do it collectively." 卡帥說："現在是球隊存亡之際，我們得迎接挑戰，一步一步來。" To Carlisle, that means help for Nowitzki, who is the closest he's been to championship form since Dallas beat Miami for the title in 2011. 卡帥的意思是，球隊必須幫助Dirk，小牛在2011年奪冠之後陣容已大不相同。 Monta Ellis, Jose Calderon and Devin Harris give the Mavericks a better backcourt than they did when they missed the playoffs a year ago, and Vince Carter has been a go-to scorer more often as the sixth man after a slow start to the season. Monta Ellis、Jose Calderon、Devin Harris的後場組合比起去年小牛打不進季後賽的後場有所提升，Vince Carter在擺脫球季初的陰霾之後，在第六人的身份打出了關鍵得分手的角色。 New center Sam Dalembert's production figures strongly in Dallas' chances, and a team that has been defensively challenged at times will lean on Shawn Marion to shore up that area. 現在中鋒Samuel Dalembert也為球隊做出貢獻，而小牛的防守端依舊要依賴 Shawn Marion。 "Every game here is huge and we know it," Nowitzki said. Dirk說："我們明瞭，接下來每一戰的很重要。" 這是官方的Preview 不過感覺好像討論小牛季後賽與近況的專欄XD 明天是最近唯一比較好打的但也是要到客場打金塊別忘了季初連輸了兩次... Let's Go Mavs!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.171.94
