Mavericks-Kings Preview The Dallas Mavericks' lone set of three games in three nights didn't get off to a good start, and they are hoping another long streak of dominance over an opponent doesn't end in the next stop on their trip. 目前达拉斯小牛正在进行本季唯一的三连战，明天他们希望不要 再输给一个很久没输的对手。 The Mavericks have dropped five straight on the road but have won 10 in a row over the Sacramento Kings heading into Friday night's matchup at Power Balance Pavilion. 小牛目前客场五连败了，不过对战沙加缅度国王拿到了10连胜， 明天他们将造访Power Balance Pavilion。 There is plenty of speculation about how Dallas (23-18) will handle this grueling stretch of schedule with Jason Kidd, who will turn 39 on March 23. Kidd logged 30 minutes and had 12 points Thursday, but the Mavericks' eight-game winning streak over Phoenix ended with a 96-94 loss. 多方猜测快要39岁的Kidd会在三连战中打几场，今天他在对凤凰 城太阳的比赛中上场30分钟拿到12分，不过小牛以94-96败北， 中止了对战太阳的八连胜。 The Mavericks haven't dropped six straight on the road since an eight-game slide Nov. 7-30, 1999, but have to feel good about their chances against Sacramento (13-26). Dallas hasn't lost in this series since a 102-95 defeat Nov. 11, 2009. 自从1999年11月的客场八连败以来，小牛的客场连败从来没有超 过五场，不过明天的对手是13胜26败的国王，小牛自从2009年12 月11日以95-102输球以来就没再输过国王了。 The Kings were dreadful in the first meeting this season, a 99-60 loss Jan. 14 in Dallas. The 60 points marked the fewest allowed in Mavericks franchise history. 国王在两队第一次交手时被打的很惨，以60-99大败，单场失60 分也是小牛队史纪录。 Fatigue was a factor that night, with both teams finishing stretches of four games in five days. The Mavs had an edge, however, since they'd blown out Milwaukee the previous night and were relatively well-rested at home for a Kings team coming off a loss in Houston. 在那场比赛中两队都是进行了五天内的第四战，所以疲劳对战局 有所影响。不过在前一天的比赛中，小牛在家大胜密尔瓦基公鹿 而得到充分的休息，国王则是在客场败给休士顿火箭之後才赶来 达拉斯。 Sacramento is now entering the second contest of a nine-game homestand after defeating New Orleans 99-98 on Wednesday. Rookie Isaiah Thomas came up with a steal and fed John Salmons for the go-ahead layup with 6.8 seconds left. 明天是国王主场九连战的第二场，首战他们以99-98险胜纽澳良 黄蜂，新秀Isaiah Thomas在最後的关键抄截并交给John Salmons 在倒数6.8秒投进了超前球。 The Kings ended a four-game skid capped by Monday's 119-116 overtime loss at Denver. 国王也中止了之前的四连败，最後一场他们以116-119在客场的 延长赛中败给丹佛金块。 "We obviously play different at home, so it's nice to have eight more on our court," forward Jason Thompson said. "It was good to get this win and get the monkey off our back. We've had a lot of tough games lately, especially the Denver (one)." 国王前锋Jason Thompson说："我们在家打的好多了，所以之後 还有八场主场真是个好消息，拿下第一场比赛感觉真好，最近 我们打了很多场艰辛的比赛，尤其是对上金块那场。" Thomas, a 5-foot-9 second-round pick out of Washington, is averaging 14.7 points in 10 games since making his first start Feb. 17. 华盛顿大学出产的5尺9寸後卫Thomas，虽然第二轮才被选中，不 过他在2月17号成为先发之後的10场比赛平均攻下14.7分。 "People start looking at his heart, his desire, his toughness. Those were never in question," coach Keith Smart said. "I think more than anything else, he was evaluated based on how big he is and what can he do in the NBA before the draft." 总教练Keith Smart表示："大家开始注意到他的求胜渴望还有坚 强的拼斗意志，他毫不松懈。我想大家都对他最近的表现跌破眼 镜，比大家在选秀之前的预估差多了。" Second-year center DeMarcus Cousins missed Wednesday's game with food poisoning, but expects to play Friday. He's posted double-doubles in all four of his career games against the Mavericks, averaging 16.0 points and 12.0 rebounds but shooting only 39.3 percent. 二年级中锋DeMarcus Cousins昨天因为食物中毒缺阵，不过预计 明天会归队，他在生涯四次对上小牛时都演出双十，平均可以攻 下16.0分12.0篮板，但命中率仅39.3%。 It's unclear what big men Dallas will have to counter Cousins. Brendan Haywood has missed the last two games with a left ankle injury and Brandan Wright is out with a concussion. 不过小牛对抗他的武器可能还要缺阵，Brendan Haywood因为左踝 伤势已经连缺两场了，Brandon Wright则因为脑震荡休养中。 The Mavs had a chance to send Thursday's game to overtime, but Rodrigue Beaubois missed two chances to tie the score in the closing seconds. Shooting guard Jason Terry was not on the court for the end, and coach Rick Carlisle said that was a "coach's decision." 小牛今天本来有机会把比赛拖入延长，不过Rodrigue Beaubois在 最後关头的两球都没进。板凳暴徒Jason Terry最後没被派上场， 教练Rick Carlisle说这是他的决定。 Dallas escaped with two-point victories in both visits to Sacramento last season. 上季小牛造访沙加缅度的两场比赛，都仅以两分险胜。 Let's Go Mavs!! --
