Kings-Mavericks Preview The Dallas Mavericks finally got back on track following a rough start, but now there's real concern they won't even get the chance to defend their NBA title. 达拉斯小牛一度从开季的阴霾中走出来，不过他们目前面 临了可能连挑战卫冕的机会都没有的窘境。 If Dallas does make another playoff push, first-year Mav Lamar Odom won't be along for the ride. 而在小牛最後的冲刺阶段，第一年加入小牛的Lamar Odom 将不会再归队了。 The Mavericks go for a 16th consecutive home win over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night, a day after announcing Odom's season in Dallas is done. 小牛明天寻求主场对上沙加缅度国王的对战16连胜，而昨 天小牛高层宣布Odom本季玩完了。 After winning the franchise's first NBA championship, Dallas (31-26) opened 2011-12 by losing three straight and four of five. 拿下队史首冠的小牛卫冕之路并不顺遂，目前战绩31胜26 败，开季就三连败，前五场比赛输了四场。 The Mavericks recovered from their championship hangover and climbed to fourth in the Western Conference with a season-best six-game run Feb. 8-17, but they've gone 11-15 since and are clinging to one of the final three playoffs spots. 不过小牛一度摆脱了低潮，在2月8号到17号拿下本季最长 的六连胜，站上西区第四。不过之後小牛只拿下11胜15败 的成绩，并且落到西区最後三个名额的争夺战中。 "I'm not a big watcher of the standings, but for anybody that is, it brings to the forefront the urgency of the situation," coach Rick Carlisle said following Saturday's 94-89 loss at Memphis. 教练Rick Carlisle在上一场比赛以89-94败给曼斐斯灰熊 之後说到："我不是非常在意排名，不过对於那些在乎的 人来说，现在我们身处一个紧急的状况。" Before opening a four-game trip, Dallas will try to avoid a third consecutive loss and second in a row at home. 在前往客场四连战之前，小牛希望能避免三连败以及主场 二连败。 The Mavericks will have to do so without Odom, who Monday was placed on the inactive list - where he'll remain for the rest of the season. Odom averaged career lows of 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds in just over 20 minutes a game while shooting 35.2 percent. 小牛将会缺少Odom，昨天他被球队逐出可上场名单，并且 将持续到季末。Odom本季平均是生涯最低的6.6分与4.2篮 板，上场时间只有20分钟左右，命中率35.2%。 After being acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers shortly before the season - Odom would have gone to New Orleans as part of a trade for Chris Paul had the league not nixed that deal - the veteran forward has been unable to fit into Dallas' system. 在球季刚开始之前他被洛杉矶湖人交易过来，Odom本来应 该是要被送去纽澳良黄蜂换取Chris Paul的筹码，不过这 笔交易被联盟所阻止，而Odom在加入小牛之後一直无法融 入球队。 The Mavericks, who called up Kelenna Azubuike from the D-League on Monday, are not expected to waive last season's Sixth Man of the Year. 小牛把Kelenna Azubuike从NBDL叫了上来，并且不打算把 Odom给裁掉。 "I'm done talking about (Odom)," Nowitzki said following Saturday's loss. Dirk Nowitzki在礼拜天的输球之後表示："我对Odom没什 麽要谈的。" With that distraction behind them, the Mavericks can focus on extending a regular-season home winning streak over Sacramento (19-38) that began in January 2004. 在解决的队上的问题之後，小牛希望能延续自从2004年1月 之後对上国王的主场连胜纪录。 Dallas won 99-60 in the Kings' last visit to American Airlines Center on Jan. 14. It was the fewest points ever allowed by the Mavericks, and Sacramento's 23 first-half points were a franchise low. 小牛在今年1月14日以99-68在主场打败国王，这是小牛队 史的单场最低失分纪录，而上半场只得到23分则是国王队 史的最差纪录。 The Kings ended a 10-game skid in this series with a 110-97 home win March 9, but they enter this contest with just two wins in their last 11 games. 不过国王在3月9日对上小牛时终止了对战的十连败，以 110-97在主场获胜，然而国王在最近的11场比赛中只赢 了两场。 They dropped their fourth in a row Sunday, 104-87 to Houston, as injuries to Marcus Thornton (bruised left calf) and Francisco Garcia (concussion) forced coach Keith Smart to give rookie Jimmer Fredette his first start since Jan. 31. Fredette finished with 17 points but was unable to contain Courtney Lee, who scored 17 of his 25 in the opening 12 minutes as Sacramento fell behind by 11. 昨天他们吞下了最近的四连败，以87-104在家败给休士 顿火箭，他们的伤兵有左小腿瘀青的Marcus Thornton与 脑震荡的Francisco Garcia，这迫使总教练Keith Smart 让新秀Jimmer Fredette自从1月31号之後首度先发。尽 管Fredette攻下17分，不过他却没法守住Courtney Lee， 让他在第一节就攻下全场25分当中的17分，让国王在第 一节打完就落後11分。 "We've got guys that are normally in the rotation, trying to come in, trying to play frontline teams, NBA players who are starters on other teams," Smart told the league's official website. "... But you know, you've got to fight through it and we will fight through it." Smart对联盟官网表示："我们有一些球员想从轮替当中 挤进先发名单，也有一些在其他队打过先发的球员，我 们得坚持下去，并且上场奋斗。" Thornton could return as the Kings open this three-game trip after missing the last four. Garcia is questionable, as is John Salmons, who has missed eight straight with a sore hip. Thornton可能会在缺阵四场之後归队，Garcia的状况未 明，而因为臀部酸痛缺席了八场比赛的John Salmons也 不确定会不会上。 Whoever is on the court needs to take care of the ball and make free throws. Sacramento has committed 41 turnovers in the last two games while hitting just 39 of 65 from the foul line. 在球场上的国王球员必须好好保护球，并且加强罚球的 命中率。国王最近两场比赛总共犯了41次失误，同时罚 65球只进了39球。 DeMarcus Cousins has missed nine of 15 free throws during that stretch and has averaged 10.7 points over his last three since scoring a career-high 41 last Tuesday against Phoenix. DeMarcus Cousins最近的15次罚球有9球没进，而他在上 周对上凤凰城太阳拿下生涯新高的41分之後，最近三场 比赛平均只攻下10.7分。 The Kings are a conference-worst 5-23 on the road. 国王的客场战绩是西区最差的5胜23败。 明天真的不能再输了 拿出全力求胜吧 Let's Go Mavs!! --
