[外電] Trail Blazers-Mavericks Preview
Trail Blazers-Mavericks Preview
Being at home and playing inferior competition have helped push the Portland
Trail Blazers back in the right direction.
波特蘭拓荒者前些日子在主場打敗了一些實力較差的隊伍,讓他們重拾信心。
Now the question is whether they can keep it going without those advantages.
接下來他們將面臨列強的挑戰。
The Trail Blazers haven't done well lately in road games or against teams
with winning records, and they'll be facing plenty of both during a stretch
that begins Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
拓荒者最近在客場屢屢敗給勝率超過五成的球隊,接下來他們有很多場要打,
明天的客場首戰將要面對達拉斯小牛。
This matchup kicks off the first of two five-game road trips this month for
Portland (42-19), which has played seven of eight at home since the All-Star
break. The first four opponents on this trek are all above .500 -- Dallas
(36-26), Houston, Memphis and San Antonio -- before it ends next Friday in
New Orleans.
42勝19敗的拓荒者這個月有兩組客場五連戰,明星賽後他們的八場比賽有七場
在主場。在第一波五連戰中,有四個對手勝率破五成,分別是明天的小牛、休
士頓火箭、曼斐斯灰熊、聖安東尼奧馬刺,最後對上紐奧良鵜鶘。
(西南組客場之旅...看了都覺得可怕)
"It's going to be a really tough road trip for us," forward LaMarcus Aldridge
said after Wednesday's 102-78 win over Atlanta. "But if we go out and take
care of business and keep playing defense like we did tonight, anything is
possible."
在昨天以102-78打敗亞特蘭大老鷹之後,前鋒LaMarcus Aldridge說:"這會是
很難打的客場之旅,不過我們如果像今天這樣做好防守,就有機會贏球。"
The Blazers allowed season lows for points and field-goal percentage (33.0)
as defense continued to key their resurgence following a 3-7 slump. They've
won six of seven, giving up averages 39.7 percent shooting and 89.3 points --
13.3 below their season mark.
昨天拓荒者的失分與對手命中率(33.0%)都是本季新低,防守是他們走出10戰7
敗的關鍵,最近七場他們贏了六場,其中對手命中率只有39.7%,平均失分89.3
分,比起本季平均少了13.3分。
However, none of those opponents entered with a winning record, and Portland
has lost eight of nine against teams that do. That funk along with the
Blazers' woes on the road, where they've dropped six of nine, date back to a
127-111 win in Dallas on Jan. 18.
不過上述的那些對手都不是強權,拓荒者面對勝多於敗的對手時,最近九戰吞
了八敗,主要是他們的客場表現太差了。自從1月18日在客場以127-111大勝小
牛之後,最近九場客場對上五成勝率以上的球隊時輸了六場。
Aldridge had 30 points and 12 rebounds that night, but he hasn't been the
same after missing the first five games following the break due to a groin
injury. The All-Star has averaged 15.7 points and 6.7 boards in three games
since returning and was a season-worst 1 for 13 from the field Wednesday.
Aldridge上次面對小牛拿下30分12籃板,不過他在明星賽之後因為鼠蹊部傷勢
連續缺陣五場,歸隊之後狀況奇差。這位明星前鋒最近三場平均只有15.7分6.7
籃板,昨天甚至創下本季最慘的13投1中。
"My timing is just off," Aldridge said. "Since coming back, I haven't felt
like my timing has been great."
Aldridge說:"我的狀況還不到定位,自從歸隊以來,我還沒找到感覺。"
The Mavericks also have fallen into a slump, dropping a season-high three
straight after winning 10 of 12. They've given up more than 110 points on the
road in their last two games, including a 115-110 defeat in Denver on
Wednesday.
36勝26敗的小牛目前也陷入低谷,在一波12戰10勝的高潮後,吞下本季新高
的三連敗。最近兩場客場比賽都失分超過110,昨天以110-115客場敗給丹佛
金塊。
Now they face four of the league's top seven teams record-wise in their next
five games. Following Sunday's visit from Indiana, Dallas has a three-game
trip that begins against Golden State and ends against Oklahoma City.
小牛接下來的五場比賽,有四場比賽對手是聯盟戰績前七的隊伍,明天過後
他們還要在主場碰上印第安納溜馬,然後要到客場挑戰金州勇士與奧克拉荷
馬雷霆。
"It's not going to get easier," forward Brandan Wright said. "We just have to
come out and play hard. In these home games we have two tough opponents. We
just have to keep trucking and we'll see what happens. We have to lift the
level up."
前鋒Brandan Wright說:"這一點都不輕鬆,我們得在廠上努力,儘管回到
主場,還是要面對難纏的對手,我們得盡力而為,打出高水準的比賽。"
The Mavs are 0-6 against the West's top five teams since beating Houston on
Dec. 23. They've won eight of 12 at home, but none of those victories came
against a team with a winning record.
自從去年12月23日打敗火箭之後,小牛面對西區前五的對手六戰全敗。儘管
最近12場主場比賽贏了8場,但是贏的都不是勝率超過五成的對手。
The Blazers are 6-9 on the road since Dec. 18 -- the worst of any team with a
record over .500 -- while allowing an average of 108.5 points.
拓荒者自從12月18號以來,客場戰績6勝9敗,是這段期間勝率超過五成以上
球隊的最差紀錄,平均失分來到108.5分。
Nicolas Batum has helped pick up the slack for Aldridge's struggles by
grabbing at least 15 rebounds in three consecutive games. Dallas hasn't had a
player grab more than 10 in five straight and has been outrebounded in each.
Nicolas Batum最近扛下Aldridge的籃板重任,連續三場比賽至少抓了15籃板,
而小牛最近五場比賽沒有球員抓超過10的籃板,每場比賽籃板都遜於對手。
Dirk Nowitzki had 27 points Wednesday, his most since the start of February,
and scored 30 in a 108-106 win at Portland on Dec. 7. He was held to 18
points on 6-of-17 shooting in the home loss to the Blazers.
Dirk Nowitzki昨天那下二月初以來最高的27分,他在本季首次面對拓荒者時拿
下30分,幫助小牛以108-106客場險勝。不過在上次對戰時,僅投17中6得到18分。
客場最差的強隊 vs 打不贏列強的主場球隊
真是難以預料的矛盾之戰...
希望回主場趕快中止連敗啊!!
Let's Go Mavs!!
