Mavericks-Pelicans Preview The grind of the NBA season seemed to take its toll on the Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans in bad performances in the second half of back-to-back games. 达拉斯小牛与纽奥良鹈鹕两支球队在B2B的第二场比赛表现糟糕，两队都将 迎接明後天的B2B。 These Southwest Division rivals will be hoping a much-needed day off will help them turn in better efforts in this back-to-back set against each other that begins Friday night in New Orleans. 同为西南组的小牛与鹈鹕，希望在今天的休息之後可以让他们有好表现， 明後两天两队将进行主客二连战，明天的第一场在纽奥良进行。 Dallas (20-16) fell 112-90 at San Antonio on Wednesday for its third loss in four games. Dirk Nowitzki scored a season-low eight points on 3-of-14 shooting for the Mavericks, who trailed by seven at halftime before allowing 67 second-half points. 20胜16败的小牛昨天以90-112惨败於圣安东尼奥，吞下最近四场的第三败， Dirk Nowitzki拿到本季新低的8分，投14中3，小牛上半场虽然只输7分，但 却让马刺下半场得了67分。 "I mean, it was ugly from the get-go," Nowitzki told the Mavericks' official website. "Offensively, we couldn't get any bounces and couldn't get anything to go but kind of hung in there, surprisingly." Dirk在官网访问中说："这场比赛从一开始就很丑陋，我们怎麽投都不进， 比数的差距也一直没法缩小。" New Orleans (15-19) lost its third straight Wednesday as it returned home from a four-game trip to fall 102-96 to Washington. The game was more lopsided than the final score indicated since the Pelicans outscored the Wizards by 15 in the fourth quarter. 15胜19败的鹈鹕则是吞下三连败，在客场四连战之後，回家的首场主场比赛 却以102-96败给华盛顿巫师。尽管最後只输六分，但要不是鹈鹕最後一节比 巫师多得15分，其实这场比赛是一面倒的。 Coach Monty Williams was not happy with the effort, pointing out that his team is full of "young guys." 鹈鹕教练Monty Williams对於这些年轻球员的表现不甚满意。 "Being tired is not an excuse, not 30-plus games in," Williams said. "Maybe 50 to 60 but not right now." Williams说："疲累不是藉口，球季才打30场而已，打到50到60场之後说累 还情有可原。" Each of these teams was missing a key player - Shawn Marion for Dallas and Ryan Anderson for New Orleans. 两队都将缺少关键权，小牛的Shawn Marion与鹈鹕的Ryan Anderson前一场 都没出赛。 Marion sat out with a bruised right shoulder suffered in Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. He is day to day while Anderson is out indefinitely with a herniated disc. Marion因为对洛杉矶湖人时右肩瘀伤，昨天缺赛，列入每日观察名单，而 Ryan Anderson则是因为椎间盘脱出无限期缺战。 These teams also meet Saturday in Dallas. Nowitzki scored 11 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter as the Mavericks took the first matchup, 100-97 at New Orleans on Dec. 4. 两队後天将移师达拉斯，Dirk在两队最近一次对战时攻下21分，其中11分 集中在第四节，让小牛以100-97在客场取胜。 The Pelicans didn't have Anthony Davis in that one due to a broken hand. The second-year forward is back now and has 43 points and 19 rebounds over his last two games. Anthony Davis因为手掌骨折缺席该场比赛，这位二年级前锋最近两场比赛 一共拿到43分19篮板。 Al-Farouq Aminu had 16 points and a career-high 20 rebounds in each of his last two games against Dallas. He helped New Orleans post a 58-38 edge on the glass in last month's meeting. Al-Farouq Aminu最近两次对上小牛刚好都攻下16分，以及都抓下生涯最多 的20篮板(...)。他帮助上次对战时鹈鹕取得58-38的篮板优势。 Controlling the backboards figures to be a priority for the Mavs, who were outrebounded 55-32 by the Spurs. 抓篮板是小牛的首要任务，昨天他们在篮板以32-55惨败给马刺。 "The rebounding killed us all night long," coach Rick Carlisle said. "We were down 36-18 at halftime and that's just not good enough." 小牛教练Rick Carlisle说："篮板让我们受伤很重，我们上半场就已经以 18-36落後了，我们在这方面表现很差。" The Pelicans are starting a four-game stretch against Southwest foes, with three at home. Williams sounded like he wasn't happy about the crowd against the Wizards. 鹈鹕将连续四场面对西南组对手，其中三场在主场，但Williams教练对於 对战巫师的比赛中观众的反应不够热烈感到不悦。 "We're going to be at home, we need our crowd behind us, not a guy screaming at me the whole game about what I should be doing," Williams said. "That's just silly." 他说："我们在主场比赛，所以需要球迷的支持，而不是尖叫着指挥我的战术 与调度，这真蠢。" What should be as big a concern to him is his defense, which is allowing teams to shoot 48.5 percent during this losing streak. The Pelicans are the league's fifth-worst team for the season at 46.3 percent. Williams最在意的应该是球队的防守，他们在最近的连败中让对手命中率高达 48.5%，而他们本季让对手的命中率以46.3%排名联盟倒数第五。 "We are picking up bad habits," guard Austin Rivers said. "When we get down six or seven, we act like the game is over and the lead gets worse. That's not coaching. That's on us." 後卫Austin Rivers说："我们的习惯不好，当我们落後六、七分时，我们打的 好像比赛结束了，让比分继续扩大。这跟教练无关，是我们的问题。" 明天对鹈鹕 加油吧!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
