Mavericks-Heat Preview MIAMI (AP) LeBron James said it was one of the most painful moments that he can remember, one that is weighing heavily on him as the Miami Heat get ready for an NBA finals rematch with the Dallas Mavericks. LeBron James说他经历了这辈子最「痛苦」的一刻，明天 迈阿密热火将在主场迎战达拉斯小牛，重演去年冠军赛的 交战戏码。 No, the Heat forward isn't talking about losing last year's title series. 不，James说的不是去年输掉冠军赛的痛苦。 He's talking about dislocating the ring finger on his left, non-shooting, hand at Indiana earlier this week. James说的是他在这礼拜稍早做客印第安纳溜马的比赛时 受到的伤，他的左手无名指脱臼了。 "The only recovery for it, the doctors told me, was rest," James said. "And I think we all know I'm having none of that." James表示："医生说唯一的复元方法就是休息，而我想大 家都知道我不需要休息。" Not now, anyway - not with the Mavericks coming back to the building where they celebrated winning a championship a little over nine months ago, and not with the Heat trying to snap a two-game slide that left them looking up at both Chicago and Oklahoma City in the race for the NBA's best record. 要休息也绝对不是现在，因为造访热火主场的不是别人， 正是九个多月前在他们家里大肆庆祝队史首冠的小牛队， 何况热火现在正处於二连败，他们绝不希望眼睁睁的看着 芝加哥公牛与奥克拉荷马雷霆争夺联盟第一的战绩。 Dallas visits Miami on Thursday night, the second and final meeting of this regular season between the clubs. 明天小牛与热火的交手将是本季两队第二度也是最後一次 的对战。 The first one: All Miami. The Heat watched the Mavs raise their championship banner on Christmas Day, then built as much as a 35-point lead before settling for a 105-94 victory. 第一次对战热火掌控了全局，在圣诞节的开幕战当天，小 牛升起了冠军锦旗，结果被热火一度把领先拉开到35分， 最後热火已105-94收下胜利。 "A bad taste in our mouth," Mavs guard Jason Terry said. 小牛後卫Jason Terry说："这感觉让人难以下咽。" So as much as the Heat remember Dallas celebrating on their floor, the Mavs remember the opener, too. 热火记得去年小牛在他们家里庆祝的场景，而小牛也记得 热火在开幕战是如何羞辱他们。 "We've got to think back to Christmas Day because that was a miserable experience for us," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "That was really tough. I was watching some of it (Tuesday). They played terrific, and they were great that day, and we weren't, and so we're going to have to play a lot better." 小牛教练Rick Carlisle说："我们要记取圣诞节那天的教 训，那是一个悲惨的经验。那是场艰难的比赛，我昨天看 了一些那场比赛的片段，他们打的非常好，在那天打的很 出色，不过我们却没有，因此我们得打的更好才行。" Which is sort of a Heat mantra these days as well. 打的更好同样也是热火这几天需要做的。 The Heat have been held under 100 points in 11 of their last 13 games, and that's not even the most staggering stat. Through March 1, Miami was the league's highest-scoring team at 103.8 points per game. Since then, the Heat are 25th at 93.1 points per game - and all the clubs they're outscoring are well outside the playoff picture. 热火在最近13场比赛有11场得分不到100分，这还不是最 惊人的，热火在3月1号时的平均得分还是联盟排名第一的 103.8分，不过在最近的比赛中场均却只有93.1分，排名 联盟第25，而他们能得分超过这个平均值的对手都是挤不 进季後赛的球队。 Miami has a 14-game home winning streak, the margin of victory in those games a little over 10 points. But after losing at Oklahoma City and Indiana by a combined 31 points - the first time since James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh became teammates nearly two years ago that the Heat endured double-digit losses in consecutive games - Heat coach Erik Spoelstra decided Wednesday's practice was the right time to address the slippage. 热火目前主场14连胜，平均胜分在10分以上，不过他们 最近两场客场对上雷霆与溜马一共输了31分，这是自从 James、Dwyane Wade和Chris Bosh加入热火之後热火第 一次连续两场输10分以上。热火教练Erik Spoelstra决 定今天的练习是很好的时机来强调这一点。 Not with words, but with action. 不过不是用说的，而是用行动。 "Every team goes through this," Spoelstra said. "Sometimes you take things for granted and you become flat over the course of a long NBA season. And this season's been a challenge for everybody. So it's not an excuse." Spoelstra说："每支球队都会遇到一些低潮，有时候你 把胜利当的太理所当然了，觉得可以平顺的走完这个漫 长的NBA赛季。这个缩水赛季对所有球员来讲都是挑战， 所以这不能当成藉口。" James went through the workout, though his left ring finger was bandaged afterward. He dislocated it in the first quarter against Indiana on Monday, popping it back into place himself and labored through the rest of the game. James was catching passes with his right hand only for much of that game, and this latest concern comes not long after two nasty falls in a game against Phoenix last week. James今天有参与练球，不过他的左手无名指後来用绷 带包了起来。他在前天对上溜马的比赛第一节就脱臼 了，不过他自己把手指乔回来，最後打完比赛。他大 部分的时间都是用右手来接球，而且他在上礼拜对上 凤凰城太阳的比赛中也重重摔了一跤，同样令人担心。 "He's got a football-type mentality," Heat forward Udonis Haslem said. "No one can ever question his toughness." 热火前锋Udonis Haslem表示："他的心灵跟美式足球 员一样，没有人能质疑他是多麽的坚强。" The Mavericks have won two straight, maybe turning things around after a stretch where they lost 11 of 18 games. Entering Wednesday, Dallas had the fifth-best record in the Western Conference, and was only two games ahead of ninth-place Houston. 小牛目前二连胜，或许已经稍稍扭转了之前18战11败 的阴霾。小牛目前在西区排行第五，不过跟排名第九 的休士顿火箭之间的胜差只有两场。 Clearly, there's not a lot of time for reminiscing over last year's title run right now. And that may be one of the reasons why Mavs owner Mark Cuban didn't bring his championship ring on this trip to Miami. 显然小牛已经没有时间怀念去年封王的风光了，这也 是为什麽小牛老板Mark Cuban决定不把冠军戒指带去 迈阿密。 "When I walk in, it'll be fun," Cuban said. "And when I hear from their fans, it'll be more interesting. But we've got bigger issues to address." Cuban说："当我走进场馆的那一刻一定很有趣，当我 听到对手球迷的叫嚣时一定也是，不过我们有更重大 的问题在眼前。" Dallas has only six home games left, and three of those are next week. If the Mavericks are going to make a real playoff push, it probably should be starting right about now. 小牛的主场比赛只剩下六场，其中三场在下礼拜，所 以如果小牛想要前进季後赛，他们最好加紧脚步。 "Well, it's another critical game in the standings," Carlisle said. "We know they are a terrific team. They've lost a couple of games. We've been a little up and down over the last three weeks, so you know it's ... we've got to get ready to lace it up and come at them." 卡帅说："这又是一场关乎排名的比赛，我们知道对手 是支强队，他们输了一些比赛，我们最近几周的状况也 起起伏伏。所以我们得绷紧神经来迎接比赛。" James said he never wants to use injuries as an excuse, and that if he's in uniform, he should be considered ready to play. And he plans to be in uniform on Thursday night. James说他从不想用受伤当做藉口，当他穿上球衣，他 就准备好要出赛，他应该会被列为出赛名单，也预计会 出场比赛。 "The last few weeks, we haven't played to how we're capable of playing," James said. "It can change with (Thursday's) performance. So we're going to go out there and do what we need to do." James说："最近几个礼拜我们没有发挥应有的水准， 改变就从明天的比赛开始，我们要认真做好自己该做 的事。" 球季突然已经剩下将近五分之一了 拿出全力往前冲吧 Let's Go Mavs!! --
