Spurs-Mavericks Preview Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks entered their Christmas break with a needed win. The San Antonio Spurs didn't have nearly as good a holiday. Dirk Nowitzki率领达拉斯小牛在圣诞节前抢下重要一胜，但是圣安东尼奥马刺 却在圣诞节吞败作收。 Looking to build on their latest effort, the Mavericks try to avoid a sixth consecutive loss to the visiting Spurs as these Southwest Division rivals meet for the first time Thursday night. 小牛明天将在本季首度面对马刺，希望能延续最近的气势，终止对马刺的主场连败。 Dallas (16-12) had dropped back-to-back games and four of six before winning 111-104 at Houston on Monday. Nowitzki led the way with 31 points, 10 of which came in the fourth quarter. 16胜12败的小牛在前天以111-104客场击败休士顿火箭之前，一度吞下二连败，且在 六场之中败了四场。Dirk拿下31分，其中10分在第四节。 "You don't ever want to sit on two days at Christmas with a three-game losing streak, so we definitely wanted to have this one," Nowitzki told the team's official website. "We competed and everybody who was out there played hard." Dirk在球队官网中说道："我们不想以三连败的心情度过圣诞节，所以这场一定要赢， 我们全员都努力与对手对抗。" After undergoing knee surgery and missing the first 27 games of 2012-13, the 35-year-old Nowitzki appears to be back to his old self. He is averaging a team-leading 21.5 points, 4.2 more than last season. 在去年球季因为膝盖动手术而缺席前27场比赛之後，35岁的Dirk今年回覆状态，目前 以21.5分领先全队，比去年还高了4.2分。 "The driving the ball is what's missing a little now," Nowitzki said. "I do a lot of one or two dribble and then up, but I want to get back to driving some more to the basket and get to the foul line. I don't think I'm in '11 shape, but compared to the last two years I feel a lot better. The right knee is great and I feel better." Dirk说："我现在还没找到切入的感觉，我顶多就是运个一两步就跳投了，但我希望 做更多的切入并要犯规。我不觉得我已经回复2011年的状态，但比起前两年我的状况 好多了，膝盖感觉很好。" The Mavericks could use a vintage performance from Nowitzki as they try to snap their recent woes against the Spurs (22-7). Dallas has dropped nine of 11 in the series, including five straight by an average of 17.4 points. 小牛希望Dirk用他最好的表现对抗马刺，小牛在最近11场对战败了9场，包括最近的 对战五连败，平均输了17.4分。 Nowitzki has been held to 13.6 per game and 35.9 percent shooting during that skid. However, he did score 21 and pull down 11 rebounds in a 92-91 loss at San Antonio on March 14, their last meeting. Dirk再最近这五场败仗平均只有13.6分，命中率35.9%。他在最近一次的碰头中攻下 21分11篮板，但还是在客场以91-92败阵。 The first-place Spurs look to get back on track after falling 111-98 to Houston on Christmas Day. Manu Ginobili scored a team-high 22 points off the bench but Tony Parker had a season-low six on 3-of-11 shooting. 战绩22胜7败，分组龙头的马刺希望在今天的圣诞大战以98-111主场败给火箭之後 反弹。Manu Ginobili从板凳攻下全队最高的22分，不过Tony Parker投11中3，攻 下本季最低的6分。 "We didn't play well," said Parker, whose team is one of only two yet to lose back-to-back games this season. "Move on to the next one, it's the NBA." Parker说："我们打的不好，但我们得把注意力移到下一场比赛，这就是NBA。" 马刺是联盟唯二没在B2B吞下连败的球队之一。 San Antonio allowed the Rockets to shoot 52.3 percent, its third-highest mark surrendered thus far. The Spurs are 0-6 when yielding more than 110 points compared to 22-1 when they don't. 马刺让火箭的命中率来到52.3%，本季第三高。马刺在让对手攻下110分时，战机0胜 6败，而在低於110分时，战绩22胜1败。 "We just didn't give very good performances," coach Gregg Popovich said. "You can live with that from time to time. Nobody's going to play perfect every night. But you can't combine poor performances with a lack of physicality and a lack of discipline. They whipped us. They whipped us good. That's an embarrassing loss." 马刺教练Gregg Popovich说："我们打的不够好，我可以接受，毕竟不可能每次都打 的完美无缺。但我们在这样的表现中打的毫无生气，缺乏纪律，这让我们今天吞下 难堪的败仗。" Tim Duncan has been held to a combined 20 points on 8-of-27 (29.6 percent) shooting in the last two games. Tim Duncan最近两场比赛被封锁，仅投27中8，命中率29.6%，共得到20分。 Monta Ellis is averaging 25.9 points in 10 matchups against San Antonio since the start of 2009-10, his third-highest mark against any opposing club. Ellis, averaging 20.6 points, is shooting 50.0 percent at home compared to 42.7 percent on the road. Monta Ellis自从2009-10球季之後面对马刺的10场比赛平均25.9分，是对上所有对手 的第三高。Ellis在客场平均20.6分，命中率50.0%，他主场命中率仅42.7%。 Dallas has compiled an 11-3 record on its own court. The Mavericks have won five straight within their division. 小牛的主场战绩11胜3败，最近对西南组的对手拿下五连胜。 真˙德州世仇之战 小牛赢火箭 火箭赢马刺 明天=>? 不过最近几年打马刺真的很吃鳖 这季的状况又不稳 希望能拿下这场胜利!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
