Knicks-Mavericks Preview Poor play at the end of games has been a regular obstacle for the New York Knicks, as was clearly the case in their last contest. 在比赛最後关头的糟糕表现深深的伤害了纽约尼克，昨天他们再度因为这样 败了一场比赛。 As they visit a Dallas Mavericks team which had the same problem, the Knicks will look to move past those issues Sunday night and continue what their coach believes has been improved play recently. 而达拉斯小牛最近在比赛末段的表现也不好，尼克希望明天能忘记之前的不 顺，尼克教练Mike Woodson相信球队最近有所进步。 New York was in a tie game Friday at Houston with 19 seconds left when J.R. Smith attempted a 3-pointer despite the shot clock being off. He missed and Beno Udrih unnecessarily fouled Aaron Brooks on the rebound, allowing the Rockets guard to hit the go-ahead free throws and help hand the Knicks a 102-100 defeat. 尼克昨天作客休士顿火箭时，在最後19秒两队平手时，J.R. Smith在进攻计 时器已经停止的状态下出手投三分球。他失手了，在抢篮板时Beno Udrih犯 了Aaron Brooks的规，让火箭得以用两个罚球取得领先，并获得最终胜利。 Smith said he took the shot not because he was open, but because he didn't realize what the score was at the time. JR说他投不是因为他有大空档，而是他不知道当时的比数。 "Honestly, I thought we were down two. I shot the ball and I started hearing Tyson (Chandler) saying 'no, no don't take it,' but by that time, it was already released," said Smith, who was 1 of 8 from 3-point range. "It was just a bad shot, or a good shot, but bad timing. I realized as soon as we got the foul that the score was 100 to 100 and it was just bad basketball IQ on me." 他说："说真的，我以为我们落後两分，我出手之後听到Tyson Chandler说 不要投！不过我的球已离手了。这是个糟糕的出手，虽然是个空档，但是 时间上是不该出首的。在我们犯规之後我才发现比数是100-100，我想我的 篮球智商还不够高。"Smith昨天三分线外8投1中。 It was similar to a game in Milwaukee on Dec. 18, when Andrea Bargnani tried a 3-pointer with 11.9 seconds left and New York up two points in overtime. The Bucks would force a second overtime, but the Knicks won that game. 在12月18日时，他们在对上密尔瓦基公鹿时也犯了类似的错误，在第一度 延长倒数11.9秒时尼克还领先两分，但Andrea Bargnani也在进攻计时器停 止时投三分，公鹿得以把比赛拖入第二度延长，不过最後尼克还是赢了。 New York (10-22) shoots 36.6 percent in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter, which ranks among the worst in the league. The Knicks were 1 for 7 during that span versus Houston and outscored 29-19 in the fourth. 战绩10胜22败的尼克本季第四节倒数三分钟的命中率只有36.6%，联盟倒数。 昨天的最後三分钟他们7投1中，第四节被打了29-19逆转。 "We're playing a lot better now and that's promising and a good sign," coach Mike Woodson said. "I like the way we're competing and if we stay at this level, we'll be in a lot of games and we just have to figure out how to win them down the stretch, if they're close." Mike Woodson说："我们打的比之前好了，这是个好徵兆。如果我们继续保 持竞争力，我们会有很多场比赛跟对手战到最後一刻，我们需要找到比数接 近时的获胜方法。" Dallas (19-14) also had end-of-game struggles Friday. The Mavericks led by as many as 13 against the Los Angeles Clippers and by seven with four minutes to play but lost 119-112. Dirk Nowitzki overcame an ankle injury to score 24 points and Shawn Marion added 20, but it was not enough, as the Clippers ended the game on a 16-2 run. 19胜14败的小牛昨天也面临最後关头当机的问题，尽管一度领先洛杉矶快艇 13分，而且在最後4分钟领先7分，但却以112-119败北，Dirk Nowitzki克服 前一场脚踝的伤势攻下24分，Shawn Marion也拿到20分，但不足以抵挡快艇 第四节以16-2的攻势终结比赛。 "Defensively, they went right through us. Offensively, without getting stops, the shots got harder," coach Rick Carlisle said of the team's late-game struggles. "It's on every one of us — the coaches and players — and it's very disappointing." 小牛教练Rick Carlisle谈到球队最後时刻当机说到："防守上，我们不断的 被突破，而我们的进攻因为没有守住对手，造成更大的压力。这是全队，包 括球员与教练都要负起的责任，这很让人失望。" Dallas has lost three straight home games, allowing an average of 114.7 points, after winning 11 of their first 13. 小牛吞下主场三连败，且平均让对手得到114.7分，他们在开季的前13场主场 比赛赢了11场。 However, the Mavericks have won 12 of their last 13 home games against New York, including three straight. 不过小牛最近13次主场对尼克赢了12场，包含最近三次主场对战皆获胜。 They'll be wary of Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, who has posted the highest-scoring games of his career through two stops on the team's Texas road trip. He had 27 points in Thursday's win at San Antonio, scored 26 on Friday and went a combined 12 for 14 from 3-point range. Shumpert was 6 of 31 from beyond the arc in his previous 12 games while averaging 3.5 points. 他们必须小心尼克的後卫Iman Shumpert，他在球队的德州之旅前两场拿 下生涯的两场最高得分。先以27分的表现帮助尼克击败圣安东尼奥马刺， 又在对火箭时拿下26分，最近两场三分球投14中12。在之前的12场比赛当 中，他的三分球投31只中6，且平均仅3.5分。 明天要对尼克了 可以辗一下东区的球队吗 不过现在连主场都不是稳赢了就是... Let's Go Mavs!! --
