Jazz-Mavericks Preview Although the Dallas Mavericks failed to land Dwight Howard in the offseason, the player they ended up with has turned out to be quite a consolation prize. 尽管今年夏天，达拉斯小牛争取Dwight Howard加盟的计画失败，但他们B计画 的球员们却表现的超乎预期。 Monta Ellis looks to continue his outstanding start and lead the surging Mavericks to their best home start in 10 years Friday night against a Utah Jazz team still searching for its first road win. Monta Ellis希望他的好表现能持续并帮助小牛拿下10年来主场最佳开季战绩， 对手是寻求客场首胜的犹他爵士。 After Howard chose to sign with Houston over Dallas and three other teams during the summer, the Mavericks (8-4) had to settle on Ellis and fellow guard Jose Calderon as their key acquisitions in free agency. 在DH决定与休士顿火箭签约，拒绝小牛等四队之後，小牛找来了Ellis与另一名 控卫Jose Calderon，是两位关键的FA签约。 Ellis, however, hasn't disappointed since coming over from Milwaukee, giving Dallas a prolific scorer alongside Dirk Nowitzki. He ranks in the league's top 10 with 23.3 points per game to go along with a team-best 5.7 assists. 从密尔瓦基前来的Ellis没让大家失望，成为Dirk Nowitzki身边的好帮手，他的 场均23.3分是联盟前十，助攻5.7次是全队最高。 The veteran guard is coming off his best game, finishing with a season-high 37 points on 13-of-18 shooting and eight assists to help the Mavericks rally for a 123-120 victory over Howard and the Rockets on Wednesday. 在NBA打滚多年的Ellis打出了加入小牛後最佳的比赛，攻下本季最高37分，投18 中13，并传出8助攻，帮助小牛以123-120逆转打败Howard带领的火箭。 Dallas trailed by 18 late in the third quarter before shooting 74 percent and outscoring the Rockets 36-19 in the fourth. 小牛一度在第三节末段落後火箭18分，不过在第四节以74%的命中率、36-19的 比数逆转火箭。 "We're really just playing off of him," said Nowitzki, who had 14 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter. "He's been aggressive, he's been shooting the ball well, but what's been great is that he has been making plays for others. He's making all of us better." 全场攻下35分，其中14分集中在第四节的Dirk说："我们的攻势围绕着Ellis走， 他很有侵略性，投篮又准，又为他人制造机会，让全队变的更好。" Ellis hopes to extend his scoring surge at home, where he's tied for second in the NBA with 26.7 points per game. That isn't likely to be a problem since he's scored 32 or more in four of his last five games against the Jazz (1-12). Ellis希望能延续主场的好表现，他以26.7分的主场平均得分排名联盟第二， 他明天很有机会，因为最近五次对上爵士，Ellis有四场得分至少32分。 The Mavericks seek their fourth straight win overall and first 7-0 start at home since opening the 2003-04 season with 10 consecutive victories on their own floor. They're also going for their 18th win in 20 home meetings with Utah. 小牛希望拿下最近的四连胜，同时是主场的开季七连胜，这是自从他们2003-04 开季主场10连胜之後的最佳成绩，同时也希望拿下最近20次主场对爵士的第18胜。 While Dallas ranks second in the league with 112.8 points per game and third with a 49.9 field-goal percentage at home, the NBA-worst Jazz have given up 107.3 points on 50.0 percent shooting in their last three road games. 小牛本季平均112.8分排联盟第二，主场49.9%的命中率为联盟第三，而联盟炉主 爵士最近三场客场平均失107.3分，对手命中率50.0%。 Utah has dropped its seven road contests by an average of 14.0 points following a 105-98 loss at New Orleans on Wednesday. 爵士目前吞下客场七连败，平均输14.0分，昨天他们以98-105客场败给纽澳良 鹈鹕。 Enes Kanter led the Jazz with 19 points while Gordon Hayward missed 16 of 17 shots en route to a season-low six points, though he did contribute a career-high 11 assists. Enes Kanter昨天拿下全队最高19分，Gordon Hayward投17只中1，拿到本季最低 的6分，尽管他传出生涯最高的11助攻。 Hayward, averaging a team-best 18.2 points, may be able to regroup since he's scored 18.8 per game on 48.9 percent shooting in his last four against the Mavericks. Hayward本季是爵士的得分王，平均18.2分，他最近四次对上小牛平均18.8分，命 中率48.9%，也许他明天会反弹。 Utah rookie guard Trey Burke had 11 points Wednesday after missing the first 12 games because of surgery on his right index finger, while Marvin Williams is expected to return after having surgery on his broken nose and sitting out against the Pelicans. 爵士新秀Trey Burke在因为右手食指手术缺席12场比赛之後，昨天生涯初登场拿下 11分，而Marvin Williams预期在鼻梁手术之後归队。 "This is who we have and this is who we are going to be," said coach Tyrone Corbin, whose club ranks 29th with 89.3 points per game. "We can't manufacture anyone else to put on the floor. We have to learn through it on the fly here." 爵士教练Tyrone Corbin说："我们的阵容就只有这样，有很多伤兵，我们没有别人 可以上场，我们得度过这段时间。"爵士目前已89.3分的得分排联盟第29。 The Jazz took two of three from the Mavericks last season, with the home team winning each meeting. 去年两队三次对战，爵士拿下两胜，三场的主场球队都获胜。 要对上炉主爵士了 继续让他们观念吧~ Let's Go Mavs!! --
