Mavericks-Magic Preview The Orlando Magic have lacked consistency over the last two weeks, experiencing blowout losses that are becoming all too familiar. 奥兰多魔术最近两周的表现很不稳定，偶尔会遇到被 打爆的状况。 The Dallas Mavericks know the feeling. 达拉斯小牛也感同身受。 Orlando seeks to avoid a sixth straight home loss to Dallas on Friday night in a matchup of teams coming off lopsided defeats. 魔术要避免吞下对战小牛的主场六连败，而两队在前 一场都被对手给打爆了。 The Magic (32-19) scored a season-high 117 points in a win over Toronto on Monday, but they followed with a 108-86 loss at New York on Wednesday that snapped their three-game winning streak. 魔术在礼拜二以本季新高的117分得分打败多伦多暴龙， 紧接着却以86-108兵败纽约，而中止了最近的三连胜。 Orlando has split its last eight games - all decided by double digits - with the four defeats coming by an average of 17.3 points. 魔术最近的八场比赛输赢各四场，不过全部都是以10分 以上的差距分出胜负，最近四场比赛平均输了17.3分。 It's been a similar story lately for Dallas (29-23), dropping three of its past five games with each loss coming by at least 16 points. The Mavericks fell 106-85 in Miami on Thursday and now make the short trip to Orlando looking to keep Dwight Howard in check, just as the Knicks did Wednesday. 而小牛的情况也差不多，最近的五场比赛输了三场，而 且最少输16分。今天他们以85-106惨败给迈阿密热火， 他们又得赶快前往澳兰多，希望能在明天的比赛中压制 住魔术的Dwight Howard，就跟昨天尼克做的一样。 Howard scored 12 points - his fewest in a game since the All-Star break - and his five rebounds were one off a season low. 魔兽昨天攻下自明星赛以来最低的12分，只抓下5个篮 板则是本季最差的成绩。 He said the Magic can't pick and choose when they want to play hard if they plan to make a postseason run. 他说球队没有时间放松了，他们没有办法选择什麽时候 才要认真打球，否则季後赛是打不远的。 "It's the same thing I've been telling the guys: Our effort has to be consistent," Howard said. "If we want to win a championship every guy has to buy in to playing the right way every night. If we don't do that we're going to be sitting at home early (during the playoffs)." Howard表示："这是我一直跟球员们说的，我们的努力 必须持续下去，如果我们大家都想赢得总冠军，我们 就得每个晚上打出好的表现。要是不这样的话我们很 快就要放暑假了。" Coach Stan Van Gundy also has been perplexed by the up-and-down performances given Orlando is in third place in the Eastern Conference. The Magic have scored fewer than 70 points four times, including a franchise-low 56 in a loss to Boston on Jan. 23 and most recently in an 85-59 defeat to Chicago on March 19. 魔术教练Stan Van Gundy同样为球队的大起大落感到 不解，尽管魔术现在还是位於东区第三。魔术本季有 四次得分不到70分，包括在1月23号作客波士顿败给塞 尔提克的比赛只得了56分。在3月19号又以59-85败给 芝加哥公牛。 "What is shocking to me is a team that is playing over .600 basketball can get absolutely rocked as many times as we have been - Boston, New Orleans (a 93-67 loss Jan. 27), Chicago and (Wednesday). That's what's mind-boggling to me," Van Gundy told the team's official website. "It will happen some if you are a bad team. But to be a .600 team and get crushed like that as many times as we have, that's shocking." Van Gundy对球队官网说道："一支胜率超过六成的 球队居然可以多次被对手给惨电，让人相当震惊。 (不仅塞尔提克与公牛，纽澳良黄蜂也一度以93-67 大胜魔术，另外还有昨天的尼克)这让我很困惑， 如果我们是个烂队还情有可原，但作为一支六成胜 率的球队还惨败这麽多次，真的很让人惊讶。" The Magic have lost five in a row at home to Dallas, with four coming by at least nine points. The exception was a 105-99 defeat Dec. 21, 2010, in the most recent meeting in Orlando. 魔术目前对战小牛吞下主场五连败，其中四场比赛 的分差在9分以上，唯一的例外就是上个赛季，於 2010年12月21号的比赛中，小牛以105-99获胜。 The Mavericks, though, have lost nine of 11 away from home and have given up an average of 104.2 points over their last six road games. They're among the league leaders in points allowed at 93.3 per game. 不过小牛最近的11场客场输了9场，且最近六场客 场的平均失分高达104.2分，而他们的总平均失分 却以93.3分名列前矛。 Dallas was outscored 26-13 in the fourth quarter Thursday as Dirk Nowitzki missed all five of his field-goal attempts. Nowitzki, though, scored a game-high 25 points and is averaging 25.9 over his last nine games. 今天的第四节小牛被打了13-26，Dirk Nowitzki在 第四节的五投都没进，不过他还是攻下了本场最高 的25分，且在最近九场比赛平均得到25.9分。 "We got some good looks, got some rolls, had everything going," Nowitzki said. "Then they really picked up their pressure and we didn't have many good looks." Dirk说："我们有一段时间空档不错，也打出气势， 不过他们马上把防守加压，让我们没有好空档。" An injured Nowitzki missed the last meeting as Orlando won 117-107 on Jan. 8, 2011, behind Howard's 23 points and 13 rebounds. Howard is averaging 30.0 points and 16.7 boards in his last three home games in the series. 在2011年的1月8号，Dirk因为受伤缺席了主场对魔术 的比赛，这是两队最近一次的交手，魔术以117-107 获胜。魔兽攻下23分13篮板，他在最近三次主场对上 小牛的比赛中平均可以拿下30.0分16.7篮板。 印象中小牛还蛮会在奥兰多打球的 希望不要吞二连败回家... Let's Go Mavs!! --
