资料来源：http://0rz.tw/FClD4 At first glance, the math doesn’t look too daunting. After winning four of the last five games, the Dallas Mavericks are only three games out of eighth place in the Western Conference. 一眼看过去，战绩数字并没有令人感到气馁，在近五战四胜後，小牛队距离季後赛只有 三场胜差 They’ve given themselves a slim chance at extending the franchise’s playoff streak to 13 years. They’ve at least earned the opportunity to make the last quarter of the season meaningful. 他们还在为连续十三年闯进季後赛而努力，至少他们有这个机会让剩下四分之一的球季 还保有意义 “We’ve got 20 games left and we’re going to let it all hang out there,” Dirk Nowitzki told reporters after Sunday’s rout of a depleted Minnesota squad. “Now, the games are going to get tough.” Dirk在击败灰狼之後表示：我们还剩下20场比赛，比赛将会越来越强硬 Beginning with Tuesday’s road game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Mavs will face teams in the playoff picture in 13 of their final 20 games. After leaving Milwaukee and getting a day off, the Mavs go into a stretch of four games in five days that includes matchups against the West’s two best teams – the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder. 剩下20场比赛将有13场比赛会面对季後赛的球队，在周二(台北时间3/13)客场面对公鹿後 休息一天，小牛将会遭遇五天四战的挑战，包括对决西区最强的两队：雷霆和马刺 As Nowitzki noted, for the Mavs to have any hope, they need everyone in the rotation to be “firing on all cylinders.” Dirk强调：如果球队要有任何希望，所有人都必须全副武装上膛 As of now, the Mavs have pulled even with the Portland Trail Blazers in 10th place. The free-falling Utah Jazz are a spot ahead of them. 小牛现在和拓荒者并列第10，挡在前面的是爵士 The question is whether the Mavs can catch any of the last three teams holding on to playoff bids 现在的问题是小牛是否能再超越三队而挺进季後赛 It’s hard to see that happening with the star-loaded Los Angeles Lakers, who moved into the eighth seed Sunday. L.A. is 13-4 since the beginning of February and is three games up on the Mavs. 湖人在周日已经挤身西区前八，二月开始的战绩是13胜4败，领先小牛三场胜差 The seventh-seeded Rockets have a four-game cushion on Dallas. The Mavs own the tiebreaker over Houston, but the Rockets have a favorable schedule down the stretch, playing 12 of their remaining 18 games at home. 第七名的火箭领先小牛四场胜差，小牛在对战上取得领先，但火箭剩余的18场比赛有12场 在主场 The sixth-seeded Warriors might be the team most likely to fall out of the West playoff picture despite being five games up on the Mavs. Golden State has lost 12 of its last 17 games but owns the tie-breaker over the Mavs. 第六名的勇士是最有可能跌出季後赛的球队尽管他们领先小牛五场胜差，勇士最近17战吞 下了12败，不过他们对小牛拥有对战优势 “We’re definitely watching the standings,” Mavs big man Elton Brand told reporters. “We want to get in the playoffs. That’s our goal. That’s the real season. We’re trying hard to get back in there. We’re not going to quit.” Elton Brand向记者表示他们绝对要打进季後赛，那是全队的目标，绝不会放弃 A few more notes from the Mavs’ blowout of the Timberwolves: 以下是对灰狼赛後的几点笔记 1. Wright on: Brandan Wright, who has floated in and out of Rick Carlisle’s rotation this season, has made a major impact during the Mavs’ three-game winning streak. 1.赖打发威：赖打在卡帅的轮替中上上下下，但他在小牛最近的三连胜中起了很大的作用 Wright, the lanky, high-leaping center/forward, has averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and shot an eye-popping 79.2 percent from the floor over the last three games. 赖打近三战平均13分5篮板1.7火锅，还有夸张的79.2%命中率 As well as Wright is playing, his minutes might dip when Shawn Marion returns, which the Mavs hope will happen Tuesday night in Milwaukee. Wright has been getting minutes as a backup power forward, a role Marion usually fills. 赖打的上场时间将会随着香妹的归队而下降，赖打将持续扮演替补大前锋的角色 2. Bench boost: Give Darren Collison credit for being professional and productive after losing his starting job yet again. 2.板凳的提升：Collison在降为替补後再次发挥功效 That doesn’t mean he’ll earn back the starting gig at point guard. Carlisle strongly indicated that he believes the reserve role is the right fit for Collison, who has come off the bench for each game of the Mavs’ winning streak. 不过这不表示他会赢回先发位置，卡帅认为Collison非常适合担任替补 “I think he’s a great off-the-bench guy in this league,” Carlisle told reporters. “Off the bench, I think he’s a special player.” 卡帅向记者表示Collison是联盟中顶级的板凳暴徒，是非常特殊的球员 Collison has had the Mavs’ best plus-minus in both games of this road trip. He was plus-27 during his nine-point, eight-assist outing in Minnesota and plus-21 during his 11-point, eight-assist performance in Detroit. Collison在这两场客场比赛中拥有全队最佳的+/-值，对灰狼9分8助攻+/-值27，对活塞 11分8助攻+/-值21 3. O.J. OK?: The only player on the roster who has played every game this season suffered a scare when O.J. Mayo turned his right ankle after coming down on a defender’s foot in the second half. 3.Mayo还好吗：Mayo在下半场踩到防守员的脚而扭伤他的右脚，他是小牛阵中本赛季唯一 全勤的球员 Mayo left the game, but he soon returned and showed no ill effects while finishing off an eight-point, eight-rebound, seven-assist night. Mayo will get treatment and is expected to be in the starting lineup again Tuesday night. Mayo在离场後迅速的回到球场，并缴出8分8篮板7助攻的成绩，Mayo将会接受治疗预计下 一战持续担任先发 “He’s pretty tough,” Carlisle said of Mayo, who has missed only one game due to injury or illness during his five-year career. 卡帅表示Mayo是非常强悍的球员，在五年生涯只缺席过一场比赛 第一次试着翻外电请大家指教 对公鹿之後的五天四战好硬...撑过就有机会了!!! --
