Mavericks-Jazz Preview After a close loss against a team they've been unable to beat this season, the Dallas Mavericks will try to bounce back against an opponent to which they seemingly can't lose. 今天达拉斯小牛以些微的差距败给洛杉矶湖人，例行赛对战 遭到横扫，不过明天的对手是小牛本季有机会横扫的对象。 If that's the case again Monday, the Utah Jazz can probably start making plans for the offseason. 如果小牛明天真的赢了，那麽他们的对手犹他爵士队，就可 以开始想暑假要做什麽了。 The visiting Mavericks look for an eighth consecutive victory over the Jazz on Monday night, while Utah needs to get back on track in a hurry if it hopes to salvage any playoff hopes. 作客的小牛寻求对战爵士的八连胜，而爵士则是非打出水准 不可，否则季後赛的希望将逐渐消逝。 Dallas (34-27) had an excellent opportunity Sunday to avoid a season sweep against the Los Angeles Lakers - its potential first-round opponent - but couldn't take advantage of Kobe Bryant's absence. Dirk Nowitzki had 24 points and 14 rebounds but missed 19 of his season-high 28 shots in a 112-108 overtime loss at Staples Center 战绩34胜27败的小牛今天有绝佳的机会避免被湖人给横扫， 但是没有办法把握住Kobe Bryant缺赛的机会。Dirk Nowitzki 攻下24分14篮板，不过他在今天的出手次数是本季最高的28 次，却投失了19球，让小牛以108-112在延长赛败给主场的 湖人。这有可能将是季後赛第一轮的戏码。 "I just have to make some shots," said Nowitzki, shooting 37.9 percent over his last five games. "I was more of a volume shooter, and that's not the way I want to play. I want to be an efficient scorer. I've got some work to do." Dirk在最近五场比赛命中率只有37.9%，他说："我必须把球 投进，我应该是更好的射手，这不是我想缴出的成绩，我想 要把命中率提升，因此我得加紧训练。" The Mavericks are 19-21 this season when Nowitzki attempts 15 or more field goals and 12-5 when he takes 14 or fewer. 在Dirk本季出手15次以上时，小牛的战绩是19胜21败，不过 当他的出手次数在12次以下时，小牛的战绩是12胜5败。 He took way more than 15 the last time Dallas and Utah got together, but had one of his best games in recent memory. Nowitzki made 14 of 21 shots and finished with a season-high 40 points in less than 29 minutes of a 102-96 home win March 3. 他在上一次小牛与爵士的交手中，出手次数高於15次很多， 但却打出了本季最精采的表现之一。那场比赛他投21中14， 攻下本季最高的40分，而且他只上场29分钟，让小牛在家以 102-96获胜。 Nowitzki has generally been a model of efficiency against the Jazz (31-30), shooting 61.1 percent while participating in six of the Mavs' seven straight wins in the series. 在对上爵士的时候Dirk的命中率都特别高，他在小牛与爵士 的对战七连胜当中出赛了六场，命中率高达61.1%。 If Utah can't contain him Monday, it might find itself on the verge of elimination. The Jazz are in 10th in the Western Conference, one-half game behind ninth-place Phoenix and 1 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot. 如果爵士明天没办法守住Dirk，他们就可能面临淘汰。爵士 在西区排行第10，距离排第九的凤凰城太阳半场胜差，落後 西区第八的休士顿火箭一场半。 Utah trails No. 8 seed Houston by two games in the loss column, but would own the tiebreaker should it finish with an identical record. 爵士目前比火箭多输两场，不过他在与火箭的tiebreaker占有 优势，也就是最後战绩相同时爵士会排在前面。 It would lose a head-to-head tiebreaker with Phoenix. 不过爵士对上太阳没有tiebreaker的优势。 The Jazz won't have to worry about any sort of contingencies if they can't get some stops. After holding the Rockets to 35.6 percent shooting in a crucial road win Wednesday, Utah let New Orleans and Memphis shoot a combined 51.8 percent in losses to conclude their trip. 其实爵士不用想这麽多，他们必须先做好防守。他们在上周三 於客场打败火箭的关键比赛中让对手的命中率只有35.6%。不 过在之後的客场之旅败给纽奥良黄蜂与曼斐斯灰熊，并且在这 两场落败中对手的命中率高达51.8%。 "We know it's going to take a lot of hard work at first, then it is going to take focus," Paul Millsap said after the Jazz blew a six-point fourth-quarter lead in Saturday's 103-98 loss to the Grizzlies. "We have to have focus, and we have to stick to what we do for 48 minutes. In the past, we haven't been doing that, and it's costing us right now." 昨天爵士浪费的第四节六分的领先遭到灰熊逆转，以98-103吞 败，前锋Paul Millsap在赛後表示："我们知道一开始就要全 力以赴，接下来就是要考验专注力。我们得专心在球场上，在 48分钟里面都坚持打出好球，我们之前没办法做到，让我们现 在付出代价。" Devin Harris had a team high-tying 20 points Saturday but he's done next to nothing against his former team since arriving in Utah. The point guard has averaged 6.0 points on 30.4 percent shooting against Dallas this season. Devin Harris昨天攻下平全队最高的20分，不过他在来到爵士 之後对上老东家小牛老是吃鳖。他在本季与小牛的对战中平均 只有6.0分，命中率30.4%。 The Mavericks have shot 51.8 percent from the field during their win streak against Utah, making 64 3-pointers to just 27 - on 98 attempts - by the Jazz. 小牛在与爵士的对战七连胜中命中率高达51.8%，其中包括64记 三分弹，相较之下爵士在这些比赛里三分球投98只进27球。 明天也是前进季後赛的关键一战 加油吧!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
