Clippers-Mavericks Preview The Dallas Mavericks are on a roll even though Dirk Nowitzki isn't. Blake Griffin hopes to keep his going and get the Los Angeles Clippers on one. 尽管Dirk Nowitzki陷入低潮，但达拉斯小牛正处於本季最好的状态。而Blake Griffin则是希望他的好表现能带起快艇的战绩。 The star big men square off for the first time this season as Dallas tries to keep up its impressive play Friday night when it hosts the Clippers. 明天将是两队的明星前锋本季首次对决，小牛希望延续最近的好表现，主场迎战 快艇。 The Mavericks (19-13) are coming off a perfect road trip, winning in Chicago, Minnesota and Washington even as Nowitzki was held below 20 points in each game and shot a combined 34.8 percent. The 11-time All-Star, averaging a team-leading 20.9 points, failed to reach double figures for the first time in 35 games Wednesday, but Dallas beat the Wizards 87-78. 19胜13败的小牛拿下客场三战全胜回家，分别於芝加哥、明尼苏达与华盛顿取胜， 三场当中Dirk都得不到20分，命中率也只有34.8%。11度入选明星赛的他目前平均 得分还是以20.9分排名小牛队第一，不过昨天他得分只有个位数，是最近35场以来 首见，但小牛还是以87-78击败巫师。 Part of the reason Nowitzki struggled, shooting 3 of 14 from the field for nine points, was that he rolled his ankle early in the contest. However, he remained in the game and will be good to go against the Clippers. Dirk投14仅中3，得9分，不过他的挣扎可能与一开赛时就扭到脚踝有关，他归 队继续比赛，明天应该会出赛。 "Well, it was obvious that I wasn't moving well," said Nowitzki, who has missed his last eight 3-point attempts. "I didn't get any elevation on my jumper, but I was an expensive decoy (Wednesday) and I was trying to just spread the floor for the guys." Dirk最近三分球连八投不进，他说："明显地，我最近移动的不是很顺，跳投时 感觉不对，但我还是能在场上作为诱饵，让队友有更多空档。" Griffin has been anything but a decoy lately. He didn't score more than 30 points in a game this season until doing so four times in the last six, including three of the past four as he's averaged 30.3 points. Griffin最近也成为各队的眼中钉，在最近六场之前，他本季都未曾得分破30， 不过他在最近六场得分有四次破30，这六场平均30.3分。 As good as Griffin has been offensively, the Clippers (22-12) hadn't been doing so well. They lost three of four to close December before opening the New Year with a 112-85 victory over Charlotte on Wednesday, with Griffin scoring 31 on 14-of-20 shooting and grabbing 12 rebounds. 然而，战绩22胜12败的快艇却没有因为Griffin的好表现而战绩长红，他们12月 的最後四场输了三场，昨天才在新年首战以112-85打败夏落特山猫开红盘，BG 昨天攻下31分12篮板，投20中14。 "We also have the utmost confidence in Blake," said Chris Paul, who had 17 points and 14 assists. "He works so hard, and it was great to see it all come together for him (against the Bobcats). That was unreal. They didn't know what to do." 昨日拿到17分14助攻的Chris Paul说："我们对BG很有信心，他很努力，我们很 高兴看到他对上山猫有爆发性的演出，这太可怕了，对手根本无法抵抗。" Paul helped the Clippers total a season-high 36 assists on 47 made field goals. Starter Jared Dudley had 20 points with six 3-pointers after a four-game stretch in which he totaled 17 points and was 0 for 5 from beyond the arc. 快艇昨天投进47球，有36次助攻，多归功於CP3，另一名先发Jared Dudley攻下 20分，投进6颗三分，之前四场比赛他一共只得到17分，三分球投5中0。 "You could see what we worked on... at practice with ball movement," coach Doc Rivers said. "It was quick. The ball was flying around the floor, and that makes us really good. It makes it harder to guard Chris and Blake because you can't key on those guys. I think we got away from that a little bit, so it's good that that came back." 快艇教练Doc Rivers说："我们在练习时就加强球的传导，这在比赛中显现出来， 球在场中不停流动，让我们打出好表现。这让Paul跟Griffin更难守，因为对手不 能只锁定去守他们两个。我们之前打的有点低於水准，很高兴大家找回感觉。" The trip to Dallas is the first of games on back-to-back nights for Los Angeles, which plays at San Antonio on Saturday. The Clippers have lost their last two on the road - to Golden State and Portland - by a combined six points. 明天是快艇展开B2B的首战，後天他们将前往圣安东尼奥，快艇目前客场二连败， 败给金州勇士与波特兰拓荒者，共输了6分。 They've lost 11 of 12 in Dallas, including a 109-102 overtime defeat March 26 in the teams' last meeting. Nowitzki and Paul each scored 33 points, but Griffin was held to 14 as Los Angeles had its three-game win streak over Dallas snapped. 他们最近12次造访达拉斯败了11场，包括最近一次碰头以102-109在延长赛败北， Dirk与Paul各攻下33分，不过BG被守死仅拿14分，让快艇中止了对战小牛的三连 胜。 The Mavs have lost their last two home games despite Monta Ellis totaling 44 points. He scored 23 on Wednesday at Washington in what coach Rick Carlisle called the best game Ellis has played with Dallas since signing in the offseason. 尽管Monta Ellis在最近两场主场出赛得到44分，但小牛目前处於主场二连败， 他昨天在巫师主场攻下23分，小牛教练Rick Carlisle说Ellis打出加盟小牛最棒 的一役。 Ellis was 9 of 10 at the foul line, and the Mavericks are making 89.6 percent of their free throws during the three-game win streak. Ellis罚球线上10投9中，而小牛再最近的三连胜中罚球命中率高达89.6%。 最近主场鸟鸟的 希望延续最近防守的气势(三连胜平均失分86.3分) 拿下主场三连战的首胜吧!!!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
