Mavericks-Jazz Preview By KATE HEDLIN Posted Mar 25 2011 3:10PM http://tinyurl.com/4w84upl The Dallas Mavericks are beginning a critical road trip that could help them move into second place in the Western Conference or drop them as low as fourth. 达拉斯小牛展开了一趟极为关键的客场之旅， 而这可以帮助小牛前进西区第二的位 置，但是最低也可能掉到西区第四。 They'll try to get the season-high six-game stretch off to a positive start Saturday night when they visit the slumping Utah Jazz with a chance to sweep the four-game season series. 明天小牛将尝试着让这本季最长的客场之旅，有好的开始， 当小牛拜访衰落的爵士 ，而有机会本季四场全胜，横扫系列赛的同时。 Dallas (50-21) is in third place in the West, with only a slim margin separating it from the second-place Los Angeles Lakers. Oklahoma City is in fourth. 小牛目前在西区第三，只以些微的差距落後给第二的湖人， 而奥克拉荷马雷霆则是 在西区第四。 The upcoming road trip could have big implications for Dallas in the standings. The nine-day trek includes three sets of games on back-to-back nights and a visit to the Lakers next Thursday, although four of the six contests are against teams currently outside playoff position. 即将到来的客场之旅对小牛来说有着非常大的影响，这九天的旅行， 包括了三次的 back-to-back，而下礼拜四(美国时间)还要拜访洛杉矶湖人， 虽然说六个对手里有 四支球队战绩不在西区前八。 Dallas, which has won 12 of its last 15 road games, is looking to win its third straight overall. The Mavericks are coming off a 104-96 win over Minnesota on Thursday. 小牛过去15场客场比赛赢了其中12场，小牛也要追求最近的3连胜。小牛在昨天才以 96:104击败灰狼。 Dirk Nowitzki had 30 points and 11 rebounds while Jason Terry scored 18. The two combined for 19 points in the final quarter. Dirk攻下30分还有11篮板，而Jet也攻下了18分。他们两个人在第四节合得19分。 "We're a veteran team that knows how to win," coach Rick Carlisle said. "Persistence has to be our calling card." 总教练Rick Carlisle说：我们是支有经验的球队，知道要怎麽赢球。坚持不懈是我 们的着称。 With the Mavericks facing a rigorous schedule during this trip, that veteran lineup will be counting on its improved depth. Shawn Marion returned to the lineup Thursday after missing the previous game with a sprained wrist, finishing with 17 points and six rebounds. 随着小牛面临着严峻的客场之旅，这支老经验的阵容将会加强阵容的深度， 因为扭 伤手腕的Shawn Marion在缺席一场比赛後归队，他拿下了17分还有6篮板。 Peja Stojakovic also provided a lift with 16 points off the bench. The veteran is 9 of 16 from 3-point range in two games since returning from a stiff neck. Peja Stojakovic也从板凳上来贡献了16分，自从颈部僵硬缺阵後的两场比赛，他三 分线16投9中。 Dallas has won all three meetings against Utah (36-37) this season. The last time the Mavericks swept a regular-season series against the Jazz was when they won all three meetings in 2004-05. They've never swept a four-game season series against Utah. 小牛本季和爵士3次交手都赢球，上次小牛在例行赛横扫爵士是在2004-05年， 三战 全胜。小牛还没有过单季四场全胜横扫爵士的记录。 Nowitzki has averaged 29.7 points in the last seven meetings with the Jazz. He scored 26 on 12-of-18 shooting in a 93-81 win in Salt Lake City on Dec. 3. Dirk在过去7次碰到爵士平均可攻下29.7分，12月3号在盐湖城小牛以93:81赢球的比 赛里他18投中12攻下26分。 When Dallas beat Utah 118-99 on Feb. 23, the Jazz had just completed their trade of Deron Williams to New Jersey. They've struggled without the All-Star point guard, losing their last four and falling to 11th in the West. 当小牛在2月23以99:118击败爵士时，爵士才刚完成他们把Deron Williams送到纽泽 西的交易，少了这位全明星後卫的爵士一直陷入苦战，他们已吞下4连败，并且掉到 西区第11的位置。 They suffered an especially heart-breaking 121-117 overtime loss to New Orleans on Thursday. Paul Millsap's two free throws put Utah ahead 105-103 with 1.3 seconds to go in regulation, but the Hornets extended the game with Emeka Okafor's 20-footer at the buzzer. 昨天爵士遭受了特别令人伤心的输球，在主场以121:117败给黄蜂。Paul Millsap的 两罚帮助爵士在第四节仅剩1.3秒时仍以103:105取得领先， 但是黄蜂Emeka Okafor 20尺的投篮，将比赛逼进延长赛。 "It's a tough loss," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "The guys had a great chance to win the ballgame. I probably should have told Paul to miss a free throw at the end of the ballgame ... but (New Orleans) made a tough shot to send it to overtime and they won the game." 爵士总教练Tyrone Corbin说：这真是残酷的一败，我们有很棒的机会可以赢得比赛 ，可能的话我应该要告诉Paul Millsap在比赛最後时不要把球罚进去， 但是黄蜂投 进了很困难的一球将比赛逼进延长赛，并且赢得了比赛。 Millsap finished with 33 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots before fouling out in overtime. Utah was without two starters in Andrei Kirilenko (bruised nerve in knee) and Devin Harris (hamstring). Their statuses for Saturday are unknown. Paul Millsap在延长赛犯满之前拿到33分和11篮板，并且送出3次火锅。爵士先发少 了Andrei Kirilenko和Devin Harris两位球员，他们明天是否可以上场， 状况仍然 不明。 "Everybody's working hard," Millsap said. "Nobody wants to lose; it just happened." Paul Millsap说：大家都很拼，没有人想输球，但就是发生了。 Millsap, averaging 17.4 points this season, has two 30-point performances in his last four games. Paul Millsap本季平均17.4分，而他过去4场比赛有2场得分到达30分。 -- ╭─────────╮ Our Way Our Will Our Win ╭╯Dallas Mavericks╭╯ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ╰─────────╯ --
