Trail Blazers-Mavericks Preview Being at home and playing inferior competition have helped push the Portland Trail Blazers back in the right direction. 波特兰拓荒者前些日子在主场打败了一些实力较差的队伍，让他们重拾信心。 Now the question is whether they can keep it going without those advantages. 接下来他们将面临列强的挑战。 The Trail Blazers haven't done well lately in road games or against teams with winning records, and they'll be facing plenty of both during a stretch that begins Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks. 拓荒者最近在客场屡屡败给胜率超过五成的球队，接下来他们有很多场要打， 明天的客场首战将要面对达拉斯小牛。 This matchup kicks off the first of two five-game road trips this month for Portland (42-19), which has played seven of eight at home since the All-Star break. The first four opponents on this trek are all above .500 -- Dallas (36-26), Houston, Memphis and San Antonio -- before it ends next Friday in New Orleans. 42胜19败的拓荒者这个月有两组客场五连战，明星赛後他们的八场比赛有七场 在主场。在第一波五连战中，有四个对手胜率破五成，分别是明天的小牛、休 士顿火箭、曼斐斯灰熊、圣安东尼奥马刺，最後对上纽奥良鹈鹕。 (西南组客场之旅...看了都觉得可怕) "It's going to be a really tough road trip for us," forward LaMarcus Aldridge said after Wednesday's 102-78 win over Atlanta. "But if we go out and take care of business and keep playing defense like we did tonight, anything is possible." 在昨天以102-78打败亚特兰大老鹰之後，前锋LaMarcus Aldridge说："这会是 很难打的客场之旅，不过我们如果像今天这样做好防守，就有机会赢球。" The Blazers allowed season lows for points and field-goal percentage (33.0) as defense continued to key their resurgence following a 3-7 slump. They've won six of seven, giving up averages 39.7 percent shooting and 89.3 points -- 13.3 below their season mark. 昨天拓荒者的失分与对手命中率(33.0%)都是本季新低，防守是他们走出10战7 败的关键，最近七场他们赢了六场，其中对手命中率只有39.7%，平均失分89.3 分，比起本季平均少了13.3分。 However, none of those opponents entered with a winning record, and Portland has lost eight of nine against teams that do. That funk along with the Blazers' woes on the road, where they've dropped six of nine, date back to a 127-111 win in Dallas on Jan. 18. 不过上述的那些对手都不是强权，拓荒者面对胜多於败的对手时，最近九战吞 了八败，主要是他们的客场表现太差了。自从1月18日在客场以127-111大胜小 牛之後，最近九场客场对上五成胜率以上的球队时输了六场。 Aldridge had 30 points and 12 rebounds that night, but he hasn't been the same after missing the first five games following the break due to a groin injury. The All-Star has averaged 15.7 points and 6.7 boards in three games since returning and was a season-worst 1 for 13 from the field Wednesday. Aldridge上次面对小牛拿下30分12篮板，不过他在明星赛之後因为鼠蹊部伤势 连续缺阵五场，归队之後状况奇差。这位明星前锋最近三场平均只有15.7分6.7 篮板，昨天甚至创下本季最惨的13投1中。 "My timing is just off," Aldridge said. "Since coming back, I haven't felt like my timing has been great." Aldridge说："我的状况还不到定位，自从归队以来，我还没找到感觉。" The Mavericks also have fallen into a slump, dropping a season-high three straight after winning 10 of 12. They've given up more than 110 points on the road in their last two games, including a 115-110 defeat in Denver on Wednesday. 36胜26败的小牛目前也陷入低谷，在一波12战10胜的高潮後，吞下本季新高 的三连败。最近两场客场比赛都失分超过110，昨天以110-115客场败给丹佛 金块。 Now they face four of the league's top seven teams record-wise in their next five games. Following Sunday's visit from Indiana, Dallas has a three-game trip that begins against Golden State and ends against Oklahoma City. 小牛接下来的五场比赛，有四场比赛对手是联盟战绩前七的队伍，明天过後 他们还要在主场碰上印第安纳溜马，然後要到客场挑战金州勇士与奥克拉荷 马雷霆。 "It's not going to get easier," forward Brandan Wright said. "We just have to come out and play hard. In these home games we have two tough opponents. We just have to keep trucking and we'll see what happens. We have to lift the level up." 前锋Brandan Wright说："这一点都不轻松，我们得在厂上努力，尽管回到 主场，还是要面对难缠的对手，我们得尽力而为，打出高水准的比赛。" The Mavs are 0-6 against the West's top five teams since beating Houston on Dec. 23. They've won eight of 12 at home, but none of those victories came against a team with a winning record. 自从去年12月23日打败火箭之後，小牛面对西区前五的对手六战全败。尽管 最近12场主场比赛赢了8场，但是赢的都不是胜率超过五成的对手。 The Blazers are 6-9 on the road since Dec. 18 -- the worst of any team with a record over .500 -- while allowing an average of 108.5 points. 拓荒者自从12月18号以来，客场战绩6胜9败，是这段期间胜率超过五成以上 球队的最差纪录，平均失分来到108.5分。 Nicolas Batum has helped pick up the slack for Aldridge's struggles by grabbing at least 15 rebounds in three consecutive games. Dallas hasn't had a player grab more than 10 in five straight and has been outrebounded in each. Nicolas Batum最近扛下Aldridge的篮板重任，连续三场比赛至少抓了15篮板， 而小牛最近五场比赛没有球员抓超过10的篮板，每场比赛篮板都逊於对手。 Dirk Nowitzki had 27 points Wednesday, his most since the start of February, and scored 30 in a 108-106 win at Portland on Dec. 7. He was held to 18 points on 6-of-17 shooting in the home loss to the Blazers. Dirk Nowitzki昨天那下二月初以来最高的27分，他在本季首次面对拓荒者时拿 下30分，帮助小牛以108-106客场险胜。不过在上次对战时，仅投17中6得到18分。 客场最差的强队 vs 打不赢列强的主场球队 真是难以预料的矛盾之战... 希望回主场赶快中止连败啊!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
