[外電] Clippers-Mavericks Preview
Clippers-Mavericks Preview
Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks continue to fight for their playoff
lives.
They're surely preparing for another tough battle against the Pacific
Division leaders.
The Mavericks try to pick up a rare win over the visiting Los Angeles
Clippers on Thursday night.
Dirk Nowitzki將率領達拉斯小牛繼續朝季後賽奮戰，他們接下來要對上
大平洋組龍頭，近年來對戰勝少敗多的洛杉磯快艇。
Dallas (43-29) has won five of seven after getting past Oklahoma City 128-119
in overtime Tuesday. Nowitzki led the way with 32 points and 10 rebounds,
posting his second 30-point effort this month.
43勝29敗的小牛最近七場比賽贏了五場，前一場以128-119在延長賽後於
主場打敗奧克拉荷馬雷霆，Dirk拿下全隊最高的32分10籃板，這是他這個
月第二次得分破30。
"His emotion and his attitude carried the team. He's a prideful guy. I think
great players are great for a reason," coach Rick Carlisle said of Nowitzki.
"Obviously, we need the win. I'm just real proud of the way the guys battled
the whole way through it."
小牛教練談到Dirk時說道："他的情緒與態度帶領了整支球隊，他很令人
驕傲，不愧是個偉大的球員。很明顯地，我們需要這勝，我對於他一路帶
領球隊拚戰感到驕傲。"
The Mavericks, who have seen three of their last four games go to OT, are
tied with Phoenix for eighth place in the Western Conference.
小牛近四戰有三場打到延長賽，目前的戰績與鳳凰城太陽並列西區第八。
"I don't know if we should be thinking too much ahead, I think we got a tough
10 games left," said Jose Calderon, whose 22 points were one off his season
high. "For right now, we're just thinking next game. It's another big game
for us, and we just got to keep working."
Jose Calderon拿下22分，距離本季的單場最高只差1分，他說："我不覺
得我們該想太多未來的事情，我們只能專注在下一場比賽，這場比賽也很
重要，我們要繼續努力。"
Dallas now tries to solve the Clippers, who have taken six of eight in the
series, including both meetings this season behind remarkable fourth-quarter
comebacks. Los Angeles outscored the Mavericks 16-2 over the final 3:51 in a
119-112 road win Jan. 3, then erased a 17-point deficit with 4 1/2 minutes to
go in a 129-127 victory Jan. 15.
小牛要試圖打敗快艇，最近八次對戰快艇贏了六場，包括本季的兩場對戰，
快艇都在第四節演出驚天逆轉。在第一次對戰時第四節最後3分51秒用一波
16-2終結比賽，以119-112在客場獲勝，接下來又在主場時，克服第四節最
後四分半鐘還落後17分的劣勢，以129-127逆轉贏球。
"It was like a playoff game the last three or four minutes. Everybody was
mouthing back and forth and getting techs, and it became a brawl out there,"
Mavericks forward Shawn Marion said afterward. "But if you let that take away
from what your main focus is - executing at both ends of the floor - then
it's going to take you out of your game."
小牛前鋒Shawn Marion說："最後三、四分鐘打出了季後賽的氛圍，球員們
彼此針鋒相對，也領到不少技術犯規，變成一場割喉戰。不過如果我們沒
有把注意力放在做好攻守兩端的工作時，這會讓我們失去勝利的契機。"
The Clippers (50-22) had won 13 of 14 before opening a five-game road trip
with Wednesday's 98-96 loss at New Orleans. Jamal Crawford scored 31 points
off the bench but missed a couple late 3s, including one as time expired.
50勝22敗的快艇在這波客場五連戰之前的14戰拿下13勝，不過昨天在客場踢
到鐵板，以96-98敗給紐奧良鵜鶘。Jamal Crawford從板凳跳出得到31分，
不過最後幾次的三分投射都沒進，包括槍響同時的逆轉三分但失手。
"We didn't execute the play," coach Doc Rivers said of the final seconds. "If
we had won, I would have taken it, but sometimes the basketball gods punish
you for messing around and I though that's what we did."
Doc Rivers談到讀秒階段的戰術："我們沒有打出預劃的戰術，如果我們贏
了算是運氣好，但籃球之神通常不會眷顧最後時刻沒有打出水準的球隊。"
Chris Paul dished out 12 assists, but he was held to two points while
shooting a career-worst 0 of 12.
Chris Paul傳出12次助攻，但是只得到2分，投籃表現是生涯最慘的12投0
中。
"From here on out its just about winning. If I go 0 for 15 or 0 for 20 and we
win, I could care less," said Paul, whose team sits 5 1/2 games ahead of
Golden State for first place in the Pacific. "Like I've said in the past it's
more than this game. It's about playing the right way going into the
playoffs."
CP3說："我只想著贏球，就算我15投0中或是20投0中都無妨，有贏球才是
最重要的。就像我以前提過的，這不只是一場比賽，這是我們為季後賽調
整的過程。"快艇目前在太平洋組領先第二的金州勇士5場半的勝差。
Los Angeles shot 41.3 percent against the Pelicans, dropping to 0-11 when
it's below 42.0 percent.
快艇昨天的投籃命中率只有41.3%，本季在命中率不到42.0%時的11戰全敗。
"There is a little bit of concern, just our sense of urgency," said Blake
Griffin, who has scored at least 20 points in a career-high 30 straight
games. "But at the same time this is the NBA, and the best thing about that
is that you get another chance to prove yourself."
Blake Griffin目前連續30場得分破20，生涯最佳，他說："我們有了一些
危機意識，不過在NBA裡，我們總是有下一個機會來證明自己。"
The Clippers are 4-8 when closing back-to-backs on the road. They are
averaging 102.4 points in those games, 5.0 less than their season mark.
本季快艇在B2B的第二場客場比賽的戰績只有4勝8敗，平均得到102.4分，
比起本季平均還少了5.0分。
西區5~9實在太激烈了 希望對上快艇能夠贏下來啊!!
Let's Go Mavs!!
