Mavericks-Suns Preview The Dallas Mavericks haven't won away from home in nearly three weeks, and their upcoming stretch of three road games in three nights may have come at an inopportune time. 达拉斯小牛已经将近三个礼拜没在客场赢球了，不幸的是，接下来 他们将迎来三天内前往三个城市的客场之旅。 They have a solid chance of ending that streak, though, considering their recent dominance of the Phoenix Suns. 不过他们很有机会明天就在客场止败，因为他们最近与凤凰城太阳 的交手可以说是战无不胜。 Dallas looks to avoid a fifth straight road loss Thursday night by sweeping another season series from Phoenix, which has won five of its last six at home. 小牛明天要避免吞下客场五连败，同时也希望连续两季在季赛的对 战中横扫太阳，不过太阳在最近的六场主场比赛中赢了五场。 The struggling Mavericks (23-17) have won only twice in their last seven games overall, though Dirk Nowitzki's 28 points helped them earn a 95-85 home win over New York on Tuesday. 战绩23胜17败并且陷入低潮的小牛在最近七场比赛里只赢了两场， 昨天Dirk Nowitzki攻下28分，带领小牛以95-85打败纽约尼克。 "This was a much-needed win. It was a big character win," said Jason Kidd, who scored 15 points. Jason Kidd昨天攻下15分，他说："我们很需要这一胜。" Dallas is in the midst of playing nine games in 12 days, and it will make trips to Sacramento on Friday and Golden State on Saturday to conclude that stretch. 小牛最近12天有9场比赛要打，在这最後3场中他们还要前往沙加 缅度与金州作客。 Starting center Brendan Haywood's status is uncertain after he sat out Tuesday with a sprained left ankle, but coach Rick Carlisle said he'll travel with the team. 昨天因为左脚踝扭伤而缺赛的先发中锋Brendan Haywood明天的 状况还不明朗，但教练Rick Carlisle说他会随队出征。 Nowitzki has done his part over the last three games, averaging 31.7 points and shooting 52.5 percent from the field. He scored 24 in the second half Tuesday. Dirk在最近三场比赛中发挥的淋漓尽致，平均攻下31.7分，命中 率52.5%，昨天他在下半场包办24分。 "The rhythm I had there in the second half, I was definitely looking for the ball," Nowitzki said. "I was chasing the ball sometimes, I was looking at Kidd and basically telling him, 'Just bring it over here and let me try and take it home.'" Dirk表示："我在下半场找到节奏，我很积极的要球，有时候我看 着Kidd并跟他说：'你就把球传给我然後让我摆平一切吧'。" It's winning on the road that's been the problem for the Mavericks. 不过在客场取胜是小牛最近遇到的难题。 They've lost a season-high four straight road games, the last being a 95-91 loss at Oklahoma City on Monday. Kidd was fined $25,000 for criticizing the officiating after that contest. 小牛目前客场四连败，最近一场就是以91-95败给奥克拉荷马雷霆， 赛後Kidd因为批评裁判被罚了2万5千美元。 Another trip to Phoenix may help end that skid after Dallas routed the Suns 122-99 on Jan. 30 in its last visit. That marked the club's eighth consecutive win over Phoenix, which played without Steve Nash due to a left thigh contusion. 好消息是明天他们将前往凤凰城，上次交手小牛在客场以122-99 大胜，同时拿下了对战的八连胜，但是上一次Steve Nash因为左 大腿挫伤缺阵。 The Suns, though, have their point guard back and went 5-1 on a six-game homestand from Feb. 19 through Sunday before falling 115-104 at Oklahoma City on Wednesday. 不过这次Nash回来了，并且在最近六场主场拿下5胜1败，然而今 天他们以104-115客场败给雷霆。 Nash had 12 points and 13 assists and Marcin Gortat finished with a career-high 28 points and 11 rebounds for Phoenix (17-21), which blew a 16-point second-half lead and was outscored 31-16 in the fourth quarter. Nash今天攻下12分13助攻，Marcin Gortat攻下生涯新高的28分 11篮板，目前17胜21败的太阳浪费了下半场16分的领先，并且在 第四节被打出16-31的比数。 "I thought we gave ourself a chance and we just weren't able to close it out," coach Alvin Gentry said. "You hope for a chance to be able to compete and put yourself in a position to where maybe making a couple of plays down the stretch you'll be able to win the game." 教练Alvin Gentry说："我们有机会赢的，但就是没做好收尾。 我们希望每场比赛都能竞争到最後一刻，并且有机会投进关键 的球来赢得比赛。" Nash, who played for the Mavericks from 1998-2004, has averaged 11.4 assists in his last five games against his former team, though he's scored eight points or fewer in three of those contests. Nash曾经在1998-2004年效力小牛，他在最近五次对上小牛平均 可以送出11.4次助攻，不过他在其中三次对战最多只得到8分。 He went 2 for 9 from the field in Dallas during a 93-87 loss Jan. 23, when former Suns forward Shawn Marion scored a game-high 29 points. Nowitzki didn't play that night, sitting out with a sore right knee. 在1月23日的比赛中，他投9只中2，前太阳球员Shawn Marion攻 下本季新高的29分，而Dirk则是因为右膝酸痛没上场，太阳以 87-93输球。 Nowitzki scored 20 points and Nash had a solid 15-point, 12-assist performance Jan. 4 in Dallas' 98-89 win. 在1月4号的交手中，Dirk攻下20分，Nash也有15分12助攻的好 表现，不过小牛以98-89取胜。 Phoenix's last victory in the series was a 112-106 home win Jan. 28, 2010. 太阳上一次打败小牛，要追溯到2010年1月28号，以112-106在 主场获胜。 希望三连战首场能打出好彩头 Let's Go Mavs!! --
