Mavericks-Lakers Preview The Dallas Mavericks have the best road record in the NBA, so the prospect of not having home-court advantage past the first round of the playoffs shouldn't seem all that daunting. The Los Angeles Lakers, however, have spent the last few months showing they're not particularly accommodating hosts. 达拉斯小牛的客场战绩在联盟排名第一，从这个观点看来，在第一轮之後没有 主场优势也没那麽令人气馁。然而洛杉矶湖人最近几个月在主场的表现也不是 好惹的。 The red-hot Lakers have won nine straight at Staples Center since the All-Star break, and they can make it eight consecutive wins overall Thursday night in a showdown with Dallas and potential second-round playoff clash. Road success is nothing new for the Mavericks (53-21), who are 27-10 away from home after finishing an NBA-best 27-14 in 2009-10. 状况火热的湖人在明星赛之後於Staples Center已经拿下主场九连胜，明天对 上小牛的比赛他们同时要寻求最近的八连胜，这也将是一场西区第二轮的可能 戏码。战绩53胜21败的小牛客场战绩依旧相当好，他们目前的客场成绩是27胜 10败，去年则是拿下全联盟客场最佳的27胜14败的。 But that dominance didn't carry over into the playoffs, when second-seeded Dallas lost all three road games while being upset in the first round by San Antonio. If it can survive the first round this spring, Los Angeles (53-20) would likely be up next. The Lakers currently have a half-game lead over the Mavericks for the Western Conference's No. 2 seed, meaning Thursday's game could go a long way in deciding which team would host a potential second-round Game 7 between two teams that haven't met in the postseason since 1988. 但是这样的客场表现却没有带到季後赛，第二种子的小牛在第一轮的三场客场 全败，就这样被圣安东尼奥马刺淘汰出局。如果小牛本季能挺进第二轮，湖人 看起来就是他们下一个对手。湖人目前战绩领先小牛半场，处於西区第二的位 置。也就是说明天的比赛至关重大，将会决定如果第二轮这两队打到第七战， 谁能够拥有关键的主场优势。这两队在1988年以後就没在季後赛碰头过了。 "It's as important as the last game we played against Dallas," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said Wednesday, referring to a 96-91 road win March 12. "It was a game we keyed on our schedule and have guys thinking about it. "It creates an opportunity to get some space between us and Dallas but it's still not the end, obviously." 湖人教头Phil Jackson说："这跟我们上次作客达拉斯的比赛一样重要，这是 我们赛程中的关键战役，大家都把心思放在这上面。这是个拉开我们与小牛之 间差距的好机会，但这显然还不是战争的终点。"两队上次在3月12日於达拉斯 碰头，湖人以96-91在客场取胜。 The Mavericks won their first game against the Lakers 109-100 at home Jan. 19, though, leaving the season series even heading into the only regular-season meeting at Staples Center. Dallas is 2-0 in Los Angeles this season, however. The Mavericks held on to beat the Clippers 106-100 on Wednesday, their fifth straight win while improving to 3-0 on their six-game road trip. 然而小牛在1月19日两队本季第一次的对战中，小牛在主场以109-100拿下胜利。 两队本季的交手各取一胜，明天将是小牛本季唯一一次到Staples Center面对 湖人。小牛本季在洛杉矶出赛2战全胜，不过两次都是打败快艇，今天小牛以 106-100胜出，拿到他们最近的五连胜，也在客场六连战的前三场全胜。 Talk then quickly shifted to the battle for the No. 2 seed. "It's not the end of the world to be (No.) 3, but we're going for it," Dirk Nowitzki said. 球员之间的对话焦点很快的转移到西区老二之争上。Dirk Nowitzki说："拿到 西区第三也不是世界末日，但是我们还是得努力。" Facing the Lakers, though, presents a far different challenge. Jackson's team is 15-1 since the All-Star break, has won nine in a row at home and is well-rested after Sunday's 102-84 rout of New Orleans. "It's good, but don't make a big deal out of this," said Pau Gasol, who had 23 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks. "It's not a big deal if we end up 24-1. What matters is we get to the playoffs healthy and with the best record possible." 对上湖人却是更艰困的挑战，禅师所率领的紫金军团在明星赛之後15胜1败，同 时拿到主场九连胜，也在礼拜一以102-84痛电黄蜂之後得到足够的休息。在上一 场比赛攻下23分16篮板4火锅的Pau Gasol说："这很好，但这没什麽了不起的。 我们以24胜1败结束球季又怎样，更重要的是大家保持健康，尽量争取好成绩。" The Lakers could use another big game from Gasol, particularly considering Kobe Bryant's recent struggles against the Mavericks. The 13-time All-Star has been held to 17.0 points per game while shooting 40.8 percent versus Dallas since the start of last season - his worst average against any opponent. The teams have split six meetings in that span, and the key to the Lakers' victories has been Andrew Bynum. They're 3-0 against the Mavericks when their 23-year-old center scores at least 19 points and 0-3 when he's held under that mark. 湖人希望Gasol明天再次打出好成绩，尤其是Kobe Bryant最近对上小牛打的并 不顺手。这位13度入选明星赛的球员这两季面对小牛平均只能攻下17.0分，命 中率40.8%，是这段期间对上全联盟所有队伍的最差成绩。两队最近六次交手 双方各取三场，而湖人的胜利关键就在Andrew Bynum上，当这位23岁的中锋得 分在19分以上时湖人三战全胜，反之则是三战全败。 Dallas, meanwhile, has plenty more than Nowitzki to count on versus Los Angeles. Jason Terry has averaged 21.7 points in his last three games in the series, while Shawn Marion has averaged 23.5 - nearly twice his season average - in the past two meetings. Los Angeles has won 20 consecutive home games when it's scored at least 97 points. 相较之下，小牛除了Dirk以外有更多可以依赖的进攻点来对抗湖人。Jason Terry 最近三次对上湖人平均攻下21.7分，Shawn Marion最近两次对战则是平均攻下 23.5分，快到他本季平均的两倍了。湖人在主场得分至少97分时已经拿下20连胜。 本季最关键 甚至可能关系到季後赛我们能走多远的一场比赛就在明天了 虽然我们是B2B 湖人则是有三天的休息 但无论如何明天将对西区二三名有决定性的影响 Let's Go Mavs!! 明天非赢不可啊!!!! --
