The Mavs took the Oklahoma City Thunder lightly, according to Dallas big man Tyson Chandler. 拳王: 我们太看轻雷霆队了! No, Oklahoma City isn't a two-time defending champion. But unlike this season's Lakers, the Thunder are a team that can beat the Mavs in a playoff game. The Mavs got slapped in the face with that reality with a series-tying 106-100 loss in Thursday night's Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. A veteran squad that prides itself on defense and finishing games strong failed miserably in both of those facets against a young, star-studded and energetic Thunder team at the American Airlines Center. 不是，雷霆绝非是要力拼三连霸的球队。而他们也不是今年的湖人队。他们是可以击败小 牛的雷霆队。小牛输球系列赛被追平的现实大大打了小牛球员的脸。老将众多的小牛所引 以为傲的防守和完结比赛能力在自家主场面临这支年轻，众星云集并且充满能量的雷霆队 时踢到了铁板。 And just like that, the Mavs' seven-game winning streak and home-court advantage in this series vanished into outer space. 就这样，小牛的七连胜和主场优势就被雷霆一脚踢到九霄云外! "When you're afraid of a team or you feel like a team can beat you every single night, you go out there and you play with a certain type of edge," Chandler said, explaining the Mavs' approach while busting out the brooms against Kobe Bryant & Co. "I feel like we came out here and we took these boys lightly. There's a reason why they're in the Western Conference finals. They're not a team to be taken lightly, so we've got to make our adjustments and come out and win Game 3." “当你害怕一支球队或觉得一支球队每天都能击败你时，你会用尽方法打得特别拼特别卖 力。”拳王在解释小牛力拼要横扫有Kobe的紫金大军所展现的态度时这样说道。”我觉得 我们太看轻这些男孩了，他们能打到西区冠军战不是没有理由的，他们不是一支应该被瞧 不起的球队，所以我们必须作出调整并且上场赢得第三战。” There is no reason to panic in Dallas. These Mavs proved beyond any doubt that they could respond to adversity, reeling off those seven consecutive wins after an epic collapse in Portland's Rose Garden, where they allowed a 23-point third-quarter lead to disappear. 小牛也不需太过惊慌。这群小牛球员在玫瑰花园面对拓荒者时浪费23分的领先优势大崩盘 之後拿下了七连胜就已证明了他们能对困境有所回应。 The Mavs have plenty of reason to be confident that they can win when the series moves north up Interstate 35. This is a team that matched the Miami Heat for the NBA's best road record during the regular season and has won its past three playoff games away from the AAC. 就算这系列战战线沿着35号州际公路往北延伸，小牛仍有足够的理由保持信心他们能够获 胜。小牛跟热火一样拥有例行赛最佳的客场战绩并且他们季後赛过去三场的客场比赛以全 胜收场。 But the Mavs better find a sense of urgency. If they don't regain the focus and attention to detail that made them such a stingy defensive team in the first two series, the Thunder will roll right into the NBA Finals. 但小牛最好还是要有急迫意识。如果他们不重新找回像前两轮那样的防守强度和专注力， 那麽去打冠军战的就是雷霆了。 Dallas didn't allow the Trail Blazers or Lakers to crack triple digits in the first two rounds. The Mavs got away with giving up 112 points to Oklahoma City in Game 1, although they had to face Carlisle's wrath during the next day's practice. There's more of that coming after Oklahoma City shot 55.7 percent from the floor -- including 11-of-17 in the fourth quarter -- to hand the Mavs their first home loss of this postseason. 小牛在前两轮面对拓荒者或湖人时都没有让他们得分达到三位数。尽管小牛隔天的练习会 看到卡帅震怒的表情，但小牛在对雷霆的第一战还是被雷霆攻下了112分。而第二战雷霆 55.7%的命中率其中第四节17投11中更是送给了今年季後赛小牛的主场第一败。 "Hey, sometimes you get your butt kicked," Carlisle said. "You've got to take it like a man, and hey, we've got to respond." 小牛教练卡莱尔说:”有时候你就是被痛宰一顿，但你必须像个男人一样勇於面对并且有 所回应” The Mavs didn't have an efficient offensive performance, shooting only 43.8 percent from the floor, but that's not their primary concern. 小牛也没有很好的进攻效率，全场只有43.8%的命中率，但这不是他们主要关注的课题。 Carlisle has preached since the first day of training camp that defense would determine the Mavs' destiny. Consider this loss a clear reminder of the veracity of that statement. 卡帅在开季训练营就强调防守将会决定小牛的命运。今天的输球正好验证了这句的真实性 。 "When you have a seven-game win streak, you kind of forget what got you there," Chandler said. "We started feeling good about ourselves. We've got to get back to what got us there." “当我们连赢了七场，我们就忘了带领我们到这的是甚麽。”泰山说。”我们开始自满， 我们必须重拾带领我们能够走到这的防守” Dallas' defensive performance in the fourth quarter, when the Thunder outscored the Mavs by a 29-24 margin, was especially disappointing. And it wasn't even NBA scoring leader Kevin Durant doing most of the damage. 第四节29比24雷霆多得了五分。小牛在第四节的防守表现真的令人失望透顶。而且甚至还 不用得分王Durant出马小牛就爆了。 Durant, who was on the floor with four reserves for almost all of the quarter, scored only four of his 24 points in the final frame. The Mavs simply couldn't stop sixth man James Harden, who had 14 of his 23 points in the last 12:07. Three other Oklahoma City reserves -- Nick Collison, Eric Maynor and Daequan Cook -- added 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the fourth. Dallas cranked up its defensive intensity after Oklahoma City built a double-digit lead, holding the Thunder without a field goal for the final 3:15. Too little, too late for a team that dominated every fourth quarter in the West semifinals against the Lakers. Durant跟另外四个替补球员几乎打满了一整节，在Durant24分里第四节他只拿了4分。小 牛根本挡不住Harden。他在最後的12分钟里拿到他总得分23分中的14分。另外三名雷霆替 补球员则在第四节六投五中共计13分。小牛在雷霆拉开双位数的领先时一度加强了防守， 让雷霆在最後3分15秒里没进过球。但相对於在打湖人时宰制整个第四节，这样的防守强 度持续不久且为时已晚。 "We just didn't have it, couldn't get the stops we needed," said Dirk Nowitzki, who scored 16 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter. "We're usually a great fourth-quarter team. We get stops; we go out and run and execute on the offensive end. But those couple of minutes right there where they went up eight or 10, that was the killer." “我们就是没办法做到让他们停下来，”Dirk说。他在第四节拿下个人29分中的16分。” 我们第四节通常都打得不错，我们能让对手停下来，我们在进攻端能跑动并执行战术，但 在八们领先8分10分的那几分钟的时间对我们真的很伤” Now, the Thunder own home-court advantage. OKC also has the Mavs' attention and respect. 现在，雷霆拥有了主场优势，也得到了小牛的注意跟尊敬。 "Obviously they belong here," Nowitzki said. "And now they've got all the momentum, so we've got to snatch it." Dirk: “显然地，他们理所当然能站在这，而且气势在他们那边，所以我们必须抢回气势 。” The Mavs, usually a magnificent offensive machine, better start with playing stingy defense and finishing games strong. That's how they got this far. 小牛一直是很棒的进攻队五，但他们最好能够从加强防守强势完结比赛做起。他们能走这 麽远就是靠这! 看完今天的比赛其实觉得不太妙，尤其是防守， 不知道小牛是守不住还是不想守... 如果这样继续下去的看来今年就只能到这了， 但还是希望小牛们能快调整，别瞧不起对手， 感觉湖人就是这样才会被横扫的。 Let's Go Mavs~~~ --
