Nets-Mavericks Preview For teams in the NBA playoff hunt, the final stretch of the regular season is when star players are expected to step up and deliver. 对於争取季後赛席位的球队来说，他们需要队上的明星球员跳出来扛起重任。 The surging Brooklyn Nets may fit this description, but they've also been getting a major lift from their rookie center. 布鲁克林篮网也不例外，不过他们的新秀中锋最近的表现对球队帮助很大。 Mason Plumlee looks to continue his strong play in the middle as the Nets seek their fourth straight win and 11th in 13 games against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night. Mason Plumlee扛起篮网的禁区，明天他们将挑战四连胜，同时也是近13场的 第11胜，对手是达拉斯小牛。 With starting center Kevin Garnett sidelined since March 1 because of a back injury, Plumlee has stepped into the lineup and put together a solid month. He's averaging 8.3 points on 68.5 percent shooting with 5.6 rebounds to help the Nets (36-31) go 9-2 in March, and his numbers have been even better in the last week. 自从3月初以来，Kevin Garnett就因为背伤缺阵，Plumlee跳了出来，这个月 他打出平均8.5分5.6篮板，命中率68.5%的成绩，帮助篮网在三月打出9胜2败 的佳绩，球队的战绩来到36胜31败，最近这周他的成绩又往上提升一级。 The rookie is scoring 14.3 points per game during Brooklyn's current win streak after finishing with 18 on 6-of-7 shooting in a 114-98 victory over Boston on Friday. 在球队最近的连胜中，他平均得到14.3分，在昨天篮网以114-98打败波士顿塞 尔提克的比赛中，他投7中6得到18分。 "(Mason's) growing each time he takes the floor, the more minutes he gets the better he gets," coach Jason Kidd said. "Being a rookie, he's going to make some mistakes but the way he can finish around the rim with the guys that are passing the balls, it's fun to watch. Mason is a big part of our success right now." 篮网教练Jason Kidd说："Plumlee每次上场都随着上场时间增加有所成长。他 只是个新秀，会犯一些错误，不过当队友传球给他时，他都能有效放进篮框， 这是我们成功的关键之一。" Joe Johnson had 27 points and Paul Pierce added 14 for the Nets, who sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference - one game behind Chicago and one ahead of Washington coming into Saturday. Joe Johnson昨天攻下27分，Paul Pierce则是得到14分，篮网目前位居东区第 五，落後第四芝加哥公牛一场，领先第六的华盛顿巫师一场。 Johnson has also come up big lately, averaging 20.5 points over the last four games, and after going 6 of 8 from 3-point range against the Celtics, he is shooting 60.9 percent from beyond the arc in that span. Johnson最近的表现不错，近四战平均得到20.5分，三分球命中率60.9%，昨天 他三分投8中6。 The victory was Brooklyn's 11th straight at home, but the Nets have gone 5-6 in their last 11 on the road. They've averaged 103.5 points during the home streak and 94.8 over those 11 away games. 篮网昨天拿下主场的11连胜，平均攻下103.5分，不过最近11场客场出赛，他 们只有5胜6败，平均得到94.8分。 Brooklyn has won two straight in Dallas but will need to get its offense moving in a road game with the Mavericks (42-28) averaging 111.0 points on 50.5 percent shooting while winning four of their last five. 篮网目前拿下对战小牛的客场二连胜，不过在客场对上小牛时得要拿出强一点 的火力，因为小牛最近五场拿下四胜，平均拿到111.0分，命中率50.5%。 Dallas, which is seventh in the West, is 2-1 on an eight-game homestand following a 122-106 win over Denver on Friday. Monta Ellis had 14 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and Dirk Nowitzki added 21. 小牛目前位於西区第七，最近这波主场八连战以2胜1败开局，昨天他们以122-106 在家打败来访的般丹佛金块，Monta Ellis拿到26分，其中第四节砍进14分，而 Dirk Nowitzki拿到21分。 "I thought it was a solid team effort all the way across the board," Nowitzki told the Mavs' website. "Everybody was playing well ... and Monta did a heck of a job there closing us out. I mean, they were still kind of hanging around and down 10 or eight is nothing in this league. And then Monta just got hot, drove a couple of shots and put it away." Dirk在球队官网访问说到："我认为这是很棒的团队表现，大家都打得很好，其 中Ellis在关键时刻打出好球，帮助球队获胜。昨天对手一直紧逼，就在领先快 要消失的时候，他切入拿下几球之後稳住胜利。" Dallas has been shooting well from long range over the last five games, hitting 46.3 percent of its 3-point attempts. Ellis has been especially hot, going 8 of 13 from outside the arc in that stretch. 小牛最近外线手感火烫，近五战三分球命中率46.3%，Ellis投得更顺，近五场三 分投13中8。 Brooklyn won the previous meeting this season, 107-106 at home on Jan. 24 behind 34 points from Mirza Teletovic. The Nets haven't won three straight in Dallas since 1993. 篮网在本季首度交手，在主场以107-106险胜，Mirza Teletovic拿到34分。篮网 自从1993年以来，还没在达拉斯拿到过三连胜。 加油 希望明天能继续赢下去!!我要进场看球XD Let's Go Mavs!! --
