Raptors-Mavericks Preview It's been a long time since the Dallas Mavericks lost at home to the Toronto Raptors. The Mavericks surely don't want to go a long time without Dirk Nowitzki. One night after their superstar left early due to a knee injury, the Mavericks go for their sixth straight win and 18th in 19 games Tuesday night when they host the slumping Raptors. 距离小牛上次在主场输给暴龙已经是很久以前了，而小牛绝不希望Dirk Nowitzki 会缺阵太久。小牛的主将今天因膝伤早早退场，明天小牛要寻求六连胜，也是近 19战中的第18胜，对手是逐渐走下坡的暴龙。 Dallas (24-5) may trail San Antonio by 1 1/2 games for the Southwest Division lead and the NBA's best record, but no team in the league is hotter than the Mavericks. They extended their winning streak to five and completed a perfect three-game road trip Monday with a 103-93 victory at Oklahoma City. Caron Butler scored 21 points and Jason Kidd came within one rebound of a triple-double to help Dallas prevail despite losing Nowitzki to a right knee injury early in the second quarter. 小牛目前还在西区落後给马刺1.5场，但是小牛可以说是联盟最火热的球队，今天 他们把连胜延续到五场，客场三连战也在奥克拉荷马完美作收。Butler攻下21分， Kidd则是差一个篮板就可以完成大三元，让小牛得以在缺少Dirk的情况下依旧夺 胜。 "You hate to see the big German go down," said Jason Terry, who had 13 points and eight assists off the bench. "But we saw him at halftime and he was smiling. He told us, 'No problem. You guys got this.'" Assistant Dwane Casey, running the team while head coach Rick Carlisle recovered from knee surgery, said he didn't believe Nowitzki's injury was serious. While Carlisle is expected to return to the bench Tuesday, Nowitzki's status is uncertain. 从板凳跳出，贡献13分8助攻的Jet说："你不会想看到这位德国大个倒地，但当我 们中场休息与他碰面时，他微笑的告诉我们：'OK的，你们做的很棒。'"助理教练 Dwane Casey今天暂代总教练一职，因为正牌总教练Carlisle刚动完膝盖手术正在 休养，Casey说他相信Dirk的伤并不严重。卡帅虽然可以在明天归队，但Dirk的动 态未明。 An extended stretch without Nowitzki would be uncharted territory for the Mavericks, who have had the services of their power forward for at least 76 games in each season since 1999-2000. They are 17-12 in the games he's missed during that stretch - respectable but significantly worse than their .676 winning percentage with Nowitzki on the court. Regardless of whether Nowitzki takes the court, the Mavericks ought to be in good shape with the Raptors (10-20) coming to town. Toronto has dropped 10 straight in Dallas since a 109-104 victory Dec. 30, 1999. The Raptors have allowed at least 105 points in each of those defeats, and an average of 114.1. 阵容中少了Dirk是小牛很少碰到的状况，Dirk自从99-00球季之後每季至少都能 打76场比赛。球队在Dirk缺阵的比赛中战绩是17胜12败，相较於他在阵时67.6% 的胜率是低了相当的多。不管Dirk明天会不会上场，小牛应该对於应付暴龙没什 麽问题。暴龙在达拉斯已经吞了10连败，上一次赢球是1999年12月30日以109-104 获胜，而暴龙在那场之後每次来达拉斯都要掉105分以上，平均每场会失114.1分。 Toronto knows first-hand what it's like to play without a frontcourt player who's also the team's leading scorer. Andrea Bargnani, averaging 21.2 points, has missed three of the last five games due to various lower-body ailments. Bargnani, whose availability for Tuesday is unknown, sat out Monday night's game in Memphis with a strained left calf. The Raptors led by 12 early but lost 96-85 - their third straight loss and fifth in six games. 暴龙也对小牛的状况感同身受，他们的前场大将，同时也是队上的得分王 Andrea Bargnani因为下半身的疼痛缺席了前五场中的三场，他每场平均可以 攻得21.2分。Bargnani明天也不确定能不能打，他在今天对灰熊的比赛中左 小腿拉伤未出赛，暴龙一开始领先到12分，但最後以85-96落败。这是他们近 来的三连败，最近的六场也输了五次。 They established a season high in turnovers for the second straight game, giving the ball away 25 times after recording 24 turnovers in Wednesday's 115-93 home loss to Detroit. "The offense is just out of sync when you are missing your main guy and everything went through him before," said Linas Kleiza, who led Toronto with 22 points on 10-of-16 shooting. "You're trying to figure out how to play without him, and maybe that's why we had so many turnovers." The Mavericks host the Spurs on Thursday. 暴龙连续两场的失误次数都创本季新高，上礼拜他们才在主场以93-115败给活塞 的比赛中犯下24次失误，今天他们则是有25次。今天队上的得分王，攻下22分的 Linas Kleiza说："当队中最可靠的队员不在时，一切都乱了套，以前只要把球 给他就对了。你得找出没有他我们该怎麽运作，这大概也是我们一直失误的原因。" 小牛将於礼拜五在主场面对马刺。 大家都很关心Dirk的伤势 明天的比赛中主播应该会解释清楚 不过对上同样有伤病的暴龙 没什麽意外的话请一定要拿下来啊 Let's Go Mavs!! --
