With Ajinca's promotion to starter, Mavericks' rotation ready to welcome back Nowitzki 09:15 PM CST on Wednesday, January 12, 2011 Column by EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News http://tinyurl.com/4prs345 INDIANAPOLIS – The decision to start Alexis Ajinca didn't create shock waves, at least not numerically. But it was an unequivocal success for the psychological boost it gave the Mavericks. By starting Ajinca, coach Rick Carlisle got the wheels in motion for when Dirk Nowitzki returns, which could be this weekend. The move pushed Shawn Marion to small forward, where he figures to spend the rest of the season as a starter, although he still will play some power forward when Nowitzki isn't in the game. That allowed DeShawn Stevenson to return to shooting guard and Jason Terry to come off the bench, where he was very effective against the Pacers. This is closer to the rotation the Mavericks will have to employ, with the obvious exception of Nowitzki starting at power forward instead of Ajinca. And Ajinca wasn't bad. He made a nice block on Danny Granger near the basket in the first quarter, and he did what he's supposed to do – stretch the defense – with a midrange jumper in the third. Carlisle said before the game that he wanted to make sure the Mavericks were "dipping into all our resources, giving everybody a shot and making sure we know what we have here." By doing so, the process of returning closer to normalcy began, even though it came in another loss. It'll take another step when Nowitzki gets back on the court. 决定让Alexis Ajinca先发并没有创造出太多的惊奇，至少数据上是如此。但是这在 心理上士气的提高是很确定的成功。 随着Alexis Ajinca的先发，Dirk回来的时间可能就是在这个周末。 而这个调动让Shawn Marion去打小前锋， 他可能在接下来的球季都打先发小前锋的 位置，虽然说当Dirk不在场上时，他还是可能会去分担一些大前锋的时间。 而这也让DeShawn Stevenson回到得分後卫、Jet回到板凳的位置， 这在对溜马的比 赛中是起了作用的。 而这样的调度是很接近Dirk回来之後的调度。 Alexis Ajinca也打得不差，他第一节在篮框附近盖了Danny Granger一个火锅， 而 他也做了他应该做的:专注在防守，他还在第三节投进一个中距离。 总教练Rick Carlisle在赛前说他想要确定"竭尽所能，并且知道我们所拥有的"。 虽然这样做可能会再换来一场输球，但这也是为Dirk回来所做准备的另一步。 -- ╭─────────╮ Our Way Our Will Our Win ╭╯Dallas Mavericks╭╯ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ╰─────────╯ --
