Mavericks-Bulls Preview The final stretch of the regular season has not gone as smoothly as the Chicago Bulls had wanted. 球季的尾声并不如芝加哥公牛想的那麽顺遂。 Hoping to bounce back from their latest defeat without injured star Derrick Rose, the Bulls try to maintain their grasp on the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference with a third consecutive win over the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. 公牛希望从上一场Derrick Rose受伤缺赛的输球中反弹， 并且保住东区龙头的地位，明天他们将对上来访的达拉斯 小牛，公牛目前拿下对战三连胜。 Chicago's hold on the top seed and home-court advantage throughout the conference playoffs got a little looser with an 83-72 loss at Miami on Thursday to split the four-game season series between the teams. 公牛昨天以72-83在客场败给迈阿密热火，季赛对战两胜两 败，他们希望能争取的季後赛所有的主场优势，不过他们 的领先并不多。 The Bulls (47-16) have a 1 1/2-game lead over the Heat in the East, one in the loss column. Chicago has three games remaining, while Miami has four. 公牛目前在东区领先热火1场半，也少输1场。而公牛剩下 三场比赛，热火剩四场。 "Got to win, got to win," said Bulls guard Richard Hamilton, who was held to six points on 1-of-6 shooting Thursday after scoring 22 in each of the previous two contests. "Just take one game at a time. We have Dallas coming up and we have to figure out a way to win that game." 尽管Richard Hamilton在之前两场比赛都拿下22分，但他 昨天被压制到投6中1，只拿下6分，赛後他说："我们得赢 下比赛，一场一场慢慢来，下一战要对上小牛，我们要想 出赢球的方法。" The Bulls likely must try to get that done without Rose for a fourth consecutive game because of a foot injury. Chicago is 17-9 without him during his injury-plagued season, including 3-4 in April. 公牛可能要连续四场缺少Rose，他受到脚的伤势所苦，今 年他饱受伤势困扰，公牛在缺少他的底赛中拿下17胜9败， 而在四月只有3胜4败。 There is a possibility that Rose, averaging 22.5 points and 7.9 assists, could return for Wednesday's game at Indiana. 今年平均攻下22.5分7.9助攻的Rose有机会在下周对上印 地安纳溜马的比赛中归队。 "You deal with it like you deal with it all year," coach Tom Thibodeau said. 教练Tom Thibodeau说："我们今年常常得应付Rose不在的 状况，明天也是如此。" Third-string point guard John Lucas had a team-high 16 points Thursday as the Bulls shot 35.7 percent and were physically pushed around while scoring their fewest points of the season. 队上的第三号控卫John Lucas昨天攻下全队最高的16分， 公牛全队的命中率只有35.7%，而且受到热火充满肢体碰 撞的防守，让他们得到本季最低得分。 "This game will reveal certain things to us, things that need to be corrected, continue to strive for improvement, and we're not going to get caught up in (leads of) 1 1/2 games, 2 1/2 games or whatever," Thibodeau said. "Just keep doing the things we need to do to win, that's all we're focusing on. "We get ready for Dallas." Thibodeau说："这场比赛让我们知道球队还需要修正， 我们还要努力进步，我们不能因为有1场半或是2场半的 领先就松懈，我们要不断努力来赢球，这是我们唯一在 意的。我们要准备好来面对小牛。" Chicago beat the reigning NBA champs 82-77 at home in the most recent meeting Jan. 20, 2011. Playing without Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, the Bulls got 26 points, nine assists and seven rebounds from Rose - the only Chicago player to score in double figures. 在两队最近的交手中，公牛以82-77在主场打败卫冕冠军 小牛，尽管Carlos Boozer与Joakim Noah都因伤没上， 不过Rose攻下26分7篮板9助攻，那场比赛公牛只有他攻 下双位数得分。 While Chicago looks to avoid dropping consecutive home games for the first time since a five-game skid March 1-19, 2010, the Mavericks (36-28) hope to avoid a third straight road defeat. 公牛希望避免主场自从2010年三月以来的首度连败，而 小牛则是要避免客场三连败。 Dallas is coming off a pair of home victories after beating Golden State 104-94 on Friday. With two games remaining, the Mavericks are trying to hang on to the sixth seed in the West. 小牛最近两场主场都赢了，今天在家以104-94打败金州 勇士，小牛本季还剩两场比赛，他们希望能保住西区第 六。 "We're playing as a cohesive unit out there," said guard Delonte West, who had 16 points against the Warriors. 今天拿下16分的後卫Delonte West说："我们打的很有 凝聚力。" Dirk Nowitzki averaged 30.0 points in the previous five games before scoring 16 on Friday in the Mavericks' home finale. He's averaged 30.4 points in his last five against the Bulls but finished with 19 on 6-of-16 shooting at Chicago last season. Dirk Nowitzki在今天的主场最终战中只拿到16分，不 过他在之前的五场比赛平均拿下30.0分，他在最近五场 对上公牛时平均攻下30.4分，不过他在上次作客芝加哥 时投16只中6，拿下19分。 不知道明天会不会练兵 不过要是明天赢&金块输就确定第6罗 Let's Go Mavs!! --
