Nuggets-Mavericks Preview With 13 games remaining and a slim cushion between them making the playoffs or missing out for a second straight season, losses are already taking on the feeling of the postseason variety for Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks. 达拉斯小牛本季只剩下13场比赛，他们与追兵的距离相当小，每一场比赛都 有可能决定最後会进季後赛，还是会连续两年饮恨，Dirk Nowitzki与全队 都知道这点。 They'll try to wash that taste from their mouths Friday night at home against the Denver Nuggets, who have pestered the Mavericks this season. 他们明天将对上本季带给小牛许多麻烦的丹佛金块，希望能用胜利来忘却昨 日的苦痛。 Dallas (41-28) has won five of seven, but its three-game winning streak came to an end in Wednesday's 123-122 home loss to Minnesota in overtime. 41胜28败的小牛最近七战拿下五胜，不过昨天在延长赛以122-123败给来访 的明尼苏达灰狼之後，中止了三连胜。 "This is a tough one," said Nowitzki, who had guided Dallas to the playoffs in 12 straight seasons before 2012-13. "This feels like a playoff loss. It really does. I don't even know what to say." Dirk说："这个结果很难让人接受，感觉像输了一场季後赛一样，我不知道 该说什麽。"Dirk与小牛在去年之前连续12季进入季後赛。 Nowitzki scored a team-high 27 points but missed all seven of his 3-point tries and shot 11 for 27 overall while his teammates hit 52.9 percent. The Mavericks fell to 2-5 when their top scorer (21.5 points per game) has more than 20 field-goal attempts. Dirk昨天拿到全队最高的27分，但三分线外七投全失，总计投27中11，不过 其他队友的命中率有52.9%，在Dirk本季出手超过20次时，小牛2胜5败。 "I had so many open looks, even from 3," Nowitzki told the team's official website. "Just one of those nights, so I take that on me." Dirk在球队官网访问说到："我的空档很多，三分线外也是，今晚我的手感 不佳，是我的错。" Dallas fell percentage points behind Memphis for seventh place in the Western Conference, and its lead over ninth-place Phoenix dropped to 1 1/2 games. 小牛在西区暂居第八，以些微胜率落後第七的曼斐斯灰熊，领先第九的凤凰 城太阳1.5场。 The Mavericks, 1-1 to begin a season-high eight-game homestand, will try to get things going in the right direction again by avoiding a season sweep to Denver (31-37) for the first time since 2008-09. 在本季最长的主场八连战中，小牛以1胜1败开局，明天希望避免自从2008-09 球季以来，首度在球季中被金块横扫。 The Nuggets have won five of six against the Mavericks, including a home-and-home series in November and a 115-110 victory in Denver on March 5. 31胜37败的金块，最近六次对上小牛拿下五胜，包括11月的主客二连战，以 及月初的交手，他们在主场以115-110获胜。 Nowitzki has averaged 24.0 points in the season series while Ty Lawson has led Denver with 19.7 per game, but the Nuggets could have to look elsewhere for scoring this time around. Dirk本季对上金块平均得到24.0分，Ty Lawson在对战中的平均得分19.7分是 全队最高，但金块总是有球员能跳出来得分。 Lawson missed Wednesday's 118-109 home win over Detroit with a sinus infection and is said to also be suffering from an aggravated groin. Lawson昨天因为鼻窦炎缺赛，据说他还有鼠蹊部的伤势，但球队还是以118-109 打败来访的底特律活塞。 Wilson Chandler also missed the game with a hip injury as the Nuggets leaned on Aaron Brooks, who had a game-high 27 points and a career-best 17 assists while starting in Lawson's place. Wilson Chandler也因为臀部伤势缺阵，金块靠着代替Lawson先发的 Aaron Brooks拿到球队最高的27分，加上生涯最多的17次助攻获胜。 "Aaron did a great job of picking those guys apart," said Darrell Arthur, who chipped in 13 points off the bench. "He did whatever he wanted to. He got to the rim. He got guys open for easy looks. He did a great job managing the floor today." Darrell Arthur从板凳跳出得到13分，他说："Brooks做的很好，他填补 了其他队友的空缺，在场上随心所欲，切入有破坏力，又能找到队友的空 档，他今天扮演了指挥官的角色。" Brooks, who totaled 28 points on 10-of-27 shooting in the previous four games, was acquired from Houston at last month's trade deadline and said his comfort level is growing. Brooks上个月在交易截止前被休士顿火箭送来金块，他最近四场一共投27 中10只得到28分，不过他说他越打越顺了。 "I just learned the offense and I am making better decisions," Brooks told the team's official website. "Being older and seeing stuff a little different helped me expand my game a little more." Brooks告诉球队官网："我刚刚才融入球队的进攻系统，现在能做出更好 的选择，我也有不少经验了，看过不同的战术後让我在比赛打的更好。" Backcourt mate Randy Foye added 22 points for the Nuggets, who have won four of five after dropping 13 of 16. They've averaged 110.2 points during the turnaround, but another key has been rebounding. 他的後场搭档Randy Foye昨天攻下22分，金块最近五场赢了四场，尽管之 前的16场输了13场，最近五场比赛他们平均得到110.2分，而且篮板的加强 也有很大的帮助。 Denver has outrebounded opponents 49.6-39.4 in its last five, with reserve J.J. Hickson posting double-doubles in three straight. 金块在最近五场比赛，篮板数的平均以49.6个大胜对手的39.4个，替补的 J.J. Hickson连续三场拿到双十。 明天要对上本季打的很糟的金块 又要连续碰上强队 拜托赶快趁着主场比赛振作吧 Let's Go Mavs!! --
