Mavericks-Nuggets Preview The Denver Nuggets' surprising start is quickly losing steam, and staying competitive through February could be difficult. 丹佛金块在开季的惊奇表现之後开始降温，要在二月之後还能 维持竞争力会很困难。 Expected to be without rising star Danilo Gallinari for a month, the Nuggets look to regroup Wednesday night when they host the Dallas Mavericks in a matchup of teams mired in three-game losing streaks. 金块新星Danilo Gallinari可能要缺席一个月，球队希望明天 在家对上达拉斯小牛的比赛中重整旗鼓，两队目前都是三连败。 Denver (15-10) opened its season Dec. 26 with an impressive 115-93 win in Dallas, and by Jan. 27 owned the Western Conference's second-best record at 14-5. But the Nuggets have dropped five of six since, and their latest setback - a 99-90 home loss to Houston on Monday - was particularly discouraging. 金块在开幕战就以令人惊艳的表现在客场以115-93痛宰小牛， 到1月27日时还维持再西区第二的位置，战绩14胜5败。不过金 块接下来的六场吞了五败，前一场他们在主场败给休士顿火箭 的比赛中让他们格外沮丧。 Gallinari left in the third quarter after rolling his left ankle on Chandler Parsons' foot. Although the team originally believed he would be sidelined for six weeks, Gallinari is now expected to miss a month to receive treatment for "a significant ankle sprain." Gallinari在第三节时左脚踩在Chandler Parsons的脚上扭到 了他的脚踝，尽管球队本来预计他将缺阵六个礼拜，Gallinari 预计只需要一个月左右来治疗他严重扭伤的脚踝。 "No one's going to feel sorry for us except ourselves," coach George Karl said. "If we feel too sorry for ourselves, we're not going to bounce back." 金块教练George Karl说："没有人会可怜我们，但我们也不能 太自卑，不然我们没办法反弹回来。" Gallinari, who recently signed a four-year, $42 million deal that makes him the cornerstone of Denver's young nucleus, joined a growing list of injured Nuggets. Starters Nene (left heel), Arron Afflalo (left ankle, right big toe) and Timofey Mozgov (left ankle) were all out against the Rockets, along with reserve forward Corey Brewer following the death of his father. Gallinari不久前才刚签下4年4200万的合约，让他成为金块想 要栽培的新星，却加入了金块的伤兵海。先发的Nene左脚跟受 伤，Arron Afflalo左脚踝跟右脚大拇指都有伤，Timofey Mozgov 左脚踝也受伤，他们都在对火箭的比赛中缺席，而Corey Brewer 则是因为父丧缺阵。 Nene and Afflalo are expected to return Wednesday. Nene跟Afflalo预计明天都会归队。 "It's the season, man. It's the season. It ain't going to stop for nobody," said 13-year veteran Al Harrington, who is averaging 15.0 points. "If Gallo's out, somebody else has to step up and fill that hole until he gets back." 征战13年的老将Al Harrington本季场均15.0分，他说："这就是 NBA球季，不会因为任何理由而停止，如果Gallinari缺阵，就得 有其他人填补他的空缺直到他归队。" The Nuggets had been enjoying success despite lacking a true superstar, but Gallinari was undeniably the leader. He is averaging a team-best 17.0 points, and Denver is 9-2 when he scores at least 20. 尽管没有超级巨星，金块的战绩依旧长红，但不可否认的是， Gallinari已经是球队的领导者了。他本季场均能攻下17.0分， 金块在他攻下20分以上时战绩是9胜2负。 "It's going to be tough," Gallinari said. "Hopefully we can make a good stretch run because February was already a tough month and now it's going to be tougher." Gallinari说："这会很艰难，希望我们能打出气势，因为二月的 赛程很难打，现在又变的更困难了。" The Nuggets may have to rely a bit more on Ty Lawson, who is second on the team in scoring at 15.5 points. Lawson had a season-high 27 on 10-of-15 shooting against Dallas in the opener. 金块目前可能得更依靠Ty Lawson，他场均得分是全队第二的 15.5分。他在开幕战对小牛的比赛中投15中10，攻下本季最高 的27分。 Harrington and Andre Miller each scored 18 in Denver's fourth straight victory over the Mavericks. Harrington与Andre Miller各攻下18分，帮助金块拿下对战 小牛的四连胜。 The Nuggets are averaging 110.8 points during that run, and they lead the league at 104.0 this season, but they're averaging 92.0 and shooting 19.4 percent from 3-point range during their three-game skid. 金块在对战四连胜中平均能攻下110.8分，本季的场均得分也 是联盟最佳的104.0分，不过在最近的三连败中平均只能攻下 92.0分，三分球的命中率只有19.4%。 Despite their own recent troubles, the Mavericks (14-11) have been sound defensively, allowing an average of 91.1 points this season. A sputtering offense has been the biggest reason for Dallas' three-game slide, with the team scoring 86, 87 and 88 points. 达拉斯小牛今年的防守引人注目，场均失分只有91.1分，但是 他们进攻上的熄火才是最大的问题。在小牛最近的三连败中， 小牛分别只攻下86、87和88分。 Against Cleveland on Saturday, the Mavericks led 85-81 with 4:14 to play but then missed their final five field-goal attempts and ended up losing 91-88. 小牛在作客客里夫兰骑士的比赛中的倒数4分14秒时还以85-81 领先，不过他们最後的五投都没进，最後以88-91输球。 "It's ugly, especially since we have to sit on this one for a couple of days," said Dirk Nowitzki, who had 24 points. "We'll enjoy our day off, the best we can, and come back to work." 攻下24分的Dirk Nowitzki说："这是场丑陋的比赛，而且我们 这几天都没比赛，没有平反的机会。我们很高兴可以充分的休 个几天，然後在回来拼战。" Nowitzki passed Elgin Baylor for 22nd place on the NBA's scoring list and needs 23 points to tie Adrian Dantley (23,177) for 21st. He scored 20 against the Nuggets in December. Dirk已经超越Elgin Baylor在NBA历史得分榜排名第22位，再 23分就可以追平排名第21名的Adrian Dantley(23177分)。他 在去年12月对上金块的比赛里攻下20分。 http://www.nba.com/games/20120208/DALDEN/gameinfo.html 希望能中止连败呀 Let's Go Mavs!! --
