Mavericks-Thunder Preview The Oklahoma City Thunder are trying to use the same formula as the Dallas Mavericks to even up the Western Conference finals: Get angry and get a win. 奥克拉荷马雷霆希望用一样的方式，以在对上达拉斯小牛的西区冠军系列战 中追成平手，那就是感到生气而夺下胜利。 After claiming home-court advantage with a win in Dallas in Game 2, the Thunder got flattened in the first quarter of Game 3 and gave it right back. They fell into a humbling 23-point hole in the first 14 minutes on their home floor, and never could climb their way out of it. 雷霆在第二战於达拉斯获胜，抢到了主场优势，但是他们却在第三战的第一 节就被打趴，把主场优势还给小牛。他们回到主场开赛前14分钟就落後23分， 从此再也爬不出落後的无底深渊。 "You lose a home game, you have to be angry," All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook said Sunday. "You've got to take care of home court." 明星控球後卫Russell Westbrook说："你在主场输了比赛，必须要感到生气。 你必须要守护家园。" Dallas used exactly that approach after losing at the American Airlines Center in Game 2 and yielding home-court advantage. The Mavericks intensified their defense, building a 35-12 lead in the first 2 minutes of the second quarter, then turning away a late rally by Oklahoma City for a 93-87 win. 在美国航空中心输掉第二战也让出主场优势之後，小牛也是用这样的方法 扳回一城。小牛增强了他们的防守，在第二节开始两分钟之後，他们取得 35-12的大幅领先，然後挡住雷霆後半段的反攻，以93-87胜出。 The Mavs lead 2-1 heading into Game 4 Monday night in Oklahoma City. 小牛取得2-1领先，明天将在奥克拉荷马城展开双方的第四战。 "If you think about it, this is a must-win at the end of the day," Thunder guard Daequan Cook said. "If we win tomorrow, it's a three-game series. Two of the three games are in Dallas, so you want to take advantage of this opportunity to win at home tomorrow night and hopefully go to Dallas and win one, too." 雷霆後卫Daequan Cook说："仔细想想，明天是绝对要赢的比赛。如果我 们明天能赢球，剩下就等於是三战两胜的系列赛，其中两场在达拉斯打。 所以我们希望掌握住明天的机会，在主场赢球，并且希望到达拉斯也能赢 球。" After yielding only 88.3 points per game through the first two rounds, Dallas had allowed the Thunder to average 109 in the first two games. Coach Rick Carlisle said he thought the Mavs might have gotten out of their defensive habits because of Oklahoma City's transition-based, perimeter-oriented offense. 小牛前两轮单场平均失分只有88.3分，但他们在对雷霆的前两场平均要 掉109分。教练Rick Carlisle说他觉得小牛的防守习惯跑掉了，因为雷 霆的进攻主轴是快速的攻守转换，以及多半是外线跳投的进攻。 "We've got to play with a certain edge. We didn't do that at home," Carlisle said. "We were able to recapture it in Game 3, and now we've got to keep it with us going forward." 卡帅说："我们要继续保持这样的优势，我们在主场没有做到这点。我们 在第三战找回了防守，我们要保持着并且继续前进。" "It's hard with the emotional ebbs and flows of a series," he added. "It's hard to win and not have a letdown.' 他又说："系列赛难保不会有高低起伏，很难只赢球却不会受到挫折。" A day after suggesting that Oklahoma City's defense against Dirk Nowitzki was stretching the rules and "the line may be crossed at times," Carlisle took a step back from those comments. He said Sunday he didn't want to get into "what's legal or not legal" and instead said the Mavericks must put Nowitzki in better positions to succeed against Nick Collison. 在发表了Dirk Nowitzki遭到雷霆队"超越尺度"的防守的隔天，他对於这样 的评论做了让步。他说他不是想讨论"怎样是合法或是不合法的"，他只是 希望让Dirk在对上Nick Collison时能受到更好的对待。 "He's a hell of a player and he's making a hell of an effort, and we've got to make some adjustments to make it tougher for him," Carlisle said. 卡帅说："他是个很棒的球员，必且作出很多努力，我们必须做些调整让他 更辛苦。" Nowitzki's production has been shrinking throughout the series. He's gone from making 24 of 24 from the foul line and scoring 48 points in Game 1 to earning only three free throws - one of them after a technical foul - and managing only 18 points in Game 3. Dirk的成绩一场比一场下滑，他在第一战罚24中24攻下48分，第三战却只 有三次罚球机会，有一次还是在技术犯规之後。第三战他只得到18分。 "They were physical. Trying to drive, there was really not much being called for me," Nowitzki said. "I think I adjusted a little bit and had to shoot it off the dribble and not get all the way to the basket. I think that worked." Dirk说："他们一直跟我有肢体接触，在我试着切入的时候裁判都没有吹 犯规。我想我做了一些调整，我必须在运球之後投篮，而不是一路切到 篮下。我想这奏效了。" Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said he didn't think that either team necessarily benefited from the game being called tightly or loosely. After all, Dallas won when Nowitzki was living at the foul line and when Collison kept him from getting there until the Thunder had to foul him while trailing in the final minute. 雷霆教练Scott Brooks说他不觉得有哪一队会因为裁判吹的比较严或是 比较松而受惠。毕竟Dirk总是利用罚球取分，而Collison一直不让他有 机会上罚球线，直到最後启用犯规战术之时。 "(Collison) fights every possession," Brooks said. "He tries his best every possession, and Dirk is one of the best players at that position ever. That's probably the toughest person to guard in this league because he has such a great offensive game and he does so many things. Brooks说："Collison每个球权都很拼，他在每个球权都试着做到最好， Dirk是在这个位置上史上最好的球员之一，这大概是他在这个联盟中最 难守的球员，因为他的进攻能力太强而且无所不能。" "Nick plays him well because his effort is always there, he doesn't give him a lot of room, doesn't give him angles as much." "Nick守的很好是因为他一直在努力，不给Dirk太多空间，不给他太大的 角度。" Oklahoma City's superstar, Kevin Durant, was buying into the angry talk after he was limited to 22 points on 7-for-22 shooting, including 0 for 8 from 3-point range. 雷霆的超级巨星Kevin Durant在他被守到只得22分，并且投22只中7，包 括三分线外8投0中之後感到生气。 "That's how he thinks. If he doesn't play well, he wants to play," Brooks said. "I mean, he would go back-to-back the same night. That's the way he's wired. He's wired to always play well and if he doesn't, he's disappointed in himself." Brooks说："他就是这样想的，如果他打的不好，他还是想打球。我是指， 他甚至会在一个晚上连打两场比赛。这就是他找回球感的方式，他总是希 望打的很好，如果不行的话，他会对自己感到失望。" In Game 4, Brooks wants Durant and the rest of the Thunder to get aggressive from the start. Brooks希望Durant跟其他球员在比赛开始时就展现出侵略性。 "We're really good when we go at you and make things happen and don't wait for it to happen," Brooks said. "I'm anticipating our guys will come out with that type of mindset, going in and attacking and making it happen and don't wait for it to happen." Brooks说："我们很善於主动攻击并且创造机会，而不是等待机会来临。 我期待我们的球员有这样的心态，投入以及持续攻击，创造机会而不是 等待机会的来临。" 想也知道 第四战雷霆绝对会绝地大反扑 因为他们如果连第四战都守不住 那真的就不用玩了 小牛绝对不能掉以轻心 第四战一定要赢!! 不然情势会相当紧绷 相信小牛老将们对冠军的渴望吧!! 希望带着3-1回主场!!!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
