Mavericks-Lakers Preview After the Dallas Mavericks swept them out of last year's postseason, the Los Angeles Lakers now could return the favor. Doing it without Kobe Bryant might further build their confidence for a potential playoff rematch. 达拉斯小牛去年季後赛横扫了洛杉矶湖人，不过湖人有机会 在今年季赛报一箭之仇。湖人在昨天已经确定进入季後赛， 而且最近几场比赛球队缺少了Kobe Bryant一样能赢球，让 他们信心大增。 While coach Mike Brown will return, Bryant is unlikely to get back in action as the surging Lakers go for a season sweep of the defending NBA champions Sunday at Staples Center. 明天湖人教练Mike Brown会归队，但Kobe上场的机率还是不 高，明天湖人在主场迎战卫冕冠军小牛，同时希望能在本季 的例行赛对战中完成横扫。 The offseason trade of Lamar Odom to the Mavericks appeared to further turn the tide against Los Angeles in this rivalry, but that deal was a bust - Dallas says Odom won't play again this season - and the Lakers have won all three meetings. 季前湖人把Lamar Odom送到小牛，被大家认为是资敌的一个 交易，但这笔交易完全成空了。小牛不会再让Odom打剩下的 比赛，而湖人却赢得了本季的前三次交手。 A Lakers sweep wouldn't be nearly as shocking as the Mavericks needing only four games to oust Los Angeles in the Western Conference semifinals last May. That could have signaled the end of Bryant's Lakers being a true title contender, particularly with them trailing the Clippers in the Pacific Division for much of this season, but they've gone 15-6 since March 8 to regain first place. 湖人在今年季赛能横扫小牛所让人惊讶的程度，事实上并不 亚於去年季後赛小牛横扫湖人。而湖人在去年被淘汰之後， Kobe与湖人似乎已经被夺冠热门中剔除了，今年大部分的时 间战绩也落後给同城的洛杉矶快艇，不过他们在3月8号之後 打出15胜6败的佳绩，要回了太平洋组的龙头。 That leaves Los Angeles (38-22) as the No. 3 seed in the West, and Dallas (34-26) currently is sixth. If the Mavs and Lakers remain in those spots, they would meet to open the playoffs. 这让湖人的战绩来到38胜22败，西区第三，而战绩34胜26败 的小牛则是排西区第六，如果例行赛最後的排名就是如此的 话，小牛将与湖人在第一轮就交手。 Los Angeles just hopes Bryant is fully healthy by then. He's missed the last four games with a bruised shin and even though he is no longer wearing a protective boot, Brown said Saturday that the NBA scoring leader is likely to take another game off. 湖人希望Kobe至少在季後赛能归队，他已经因为小腿瘀青缺 席了四场比赛，尽管他现在已经脱下了护具，教练Brown今天 依然表示目前占居联盟得分王的Kobe明天可能还要休息。 The Lakers were blown out by Phoenix in their first game without Bryant but have won the last three, including one at Southeast Division-leading San Antonio. 在Kobe缺阵的第一场比赛中，湖人就在客场被凤凰城太阳给 打爆了，不过他们最近拿下了三连胜，包括在客场击败了西 南组龙头圣安东尼奥马刺。 "When we play hard and when we play well as a team, a lot of good things happen for us," said Pau Gasol, who has a combined 51 points in the last two meetings with Dallas after averaging 12.5 in last year's playoff series. Pau Gasol在最近两次对上小牛时一共拿下51分，不过在去年 第二轮平均只有12.5分，他说："当我们努力打球，并且发挥 团队精神时，就会有好事发生。" "With or without Kobe, that's something that's standard for this team." 他说："不管Kobe在不在场上，球队还是有一定的水准。" Gasol's team returned home Friday and defeated Denver 103-97, clinching a playoff spot despite Brown's absence due to personal reasons. 湖人昨天回家迎战丹佛金块，并以103-97取胜，让湖人正式 晋级季後赛，Brown则因为个人理由缺席一场比赛。 "You can tell that these guys went out tonight and wanted to represent Mike Brown as best they could and that's what they did," said assistant John Kuester, who took over for Brown. 昨天代替Brown的助理教练John Kuester表示："你可以看的 出来，这些球员还是把Brown所希望的球风发挥的淋漓尽致。" Andrew Bynum scored 30 points, two nights after grabbing 30 rebounds against the Spurs. He's averaging 23.7 points and 13.7 boards over the past six games. Andrew Bynum昨天攻下30分，并且在与马刺的比赛中抓下30 篮板，他在最近六场比赛平均攻下23.7分13.7篮板。 Also stepping up lately are Metta World Peace, averaging 18.0 points over the past five games, and Matt Barnes, who is 17 of 24 from the field in the last three and scored a season-best 24 on Friday. 最近还有一位跳出来的球员就是Metta World Peace，他最近 五场比赛平均攻下18.0分，另外Matt Barnes在最近三场比赛 则是投24中17，并在昨天攻下全队最高的24分。 "With Kobe out, guys need to step up, but at the same time, not do too much," Barnes said. "We're playing good team basketball right now." Barnes说："Kobe不在对上，就要有其他球员跳出来，不过也 不能太操之过急，我们现在打出很棒的团队篮球。" So are the Mavericks, who have had at least five double-figure scorers during their current three-game win streak. 小牛最近也打打出团队球风，在最近的三连胜当中，都有至 少五位球员得分达到双位数。 No more than three Dallas players reached double digits in any of this season's meetings with Los Angeles, and the Mavs shot a combined 39.3 percent from the field. 不过在今年与湖人的三场对战中，都没有超过三位小牛球员 得分破10，并且小牛这三场的投篮命中率只有39.3%。 "Right now, you just have to pile up 'W's.' I don't care how you get them; you just have to get them," said Shawn Marion, who had 17 points and 14 rebounds in Friday's 97-94 win at Portland. Shawn Marion昨天攻下17分14篮板，帮助球队以97-94在客 场打败波特兰拓荒者，他说："现在我只在乎不断的赢球， 我不在乎怎麽赢的，只要赢了就好。" Marion helped limit Bryant to 29 points on 11-of-37 shooting through the first two meetings - Dallas lost by a combined eight points - but he missed the last one as Bryant scored 30 in the Lakers' easy 109-93 win March 21. Without Bryant around this time, that leaves Marion to focus on World Peace or Barnes. Marion在本季的前两次交手压制Kobe，让他总共投37中11， 只得到29分，小牛在那两场比赛加起来只输8分。不过在第 三次的交手中Marion因伤缺阵，Kobe砍进30分，让小牛在主 场被湖人以109-93羞辱。这次Kobe可能不在，Marion将会守 到World Peace或是Barnes。 希望不要被横扫 加油吧~~ Let's Go Mavs!! --
