Kings-Mavericks Preview The Dallas Mavericks' playoff push has been stuck in neutral lately despite the team being in the midst of its longest homestand in franchise history. 尽管达拉斯小牛目前正在进行队史最长的主场连战，但冲击季後赛的道路 却受到阻碍。 The Mavericks have split their first six of eight consecutive games at American Airlines Center and blew a sizable lead in the fourth quarter of their latest game there. They'll try to bounce Saturday night by adding to their remarkable home dominance over the Sacramento Kings. 在主场八连战的前六场，小牛拿下三胜三败，上一场在第四节遭到逆转， 明天他们希望能在对上近年来主场打得很好的沙加缅度国王时来反弹。 With its inconsistent efforts at home, Dallas (43-30) has fallen from seventh in the Western Conference and 1 1/2 games in front of the final playoff berth to one-half game behind Memphis. The Grizzlies are idle Saturday after losing for just the sixth time in 22 games Friday. 由於主场不稳定的表现，战绩43胜30败的小牛从西区第七，领先第九1.5场， 掉到西区第九，落後第八的曼斐斯灰雄半场胜差，灰熊在昨天吞下最近22场 比赛中的第六败，目前独居老八。 The Suns, one game ahead of the Mavericks, are also idle after winning their sixth in a row. 凤凰城太阳则是取得六连胜，在昨天的胜利之後目前独居第七。 "It's basically the next game becomes the most important game of the year," coach Rick Carlisle said. "That's just how it is going to be, every one down the stretch." 小牛教练Rick Carlisle说："对我们来说，每一个下一场比赛都是整季最重 要的比赛，这就是球季尾声时的情况。" The Mavericks missed a chance to keep pace in that race Thursday by squandering an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter of a 109-103 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. 小牛在老八争夺战落居下风，因为他们前一场比赛浪费了第四节11分的领先， 最後以103-109败阵。 "We didn't get the stops we needed in the clutch," forward Jae Crowder said. "We knew they were going to make one more run late. We didn't get the stops we needed to close the game." 前锋Jae Crowder说："我们在关键时刻没法守住对手，我们知道他们会打出 一波攻势，但我们没守住，我们得做得更好来结束比赛。" The Mavericks kept the Kings in check long enough Jan. 31 to rally from a 14-point deficit in the third quarter for a 107-103 win. Dirk Nowitzki led the way with 34 points in Dallas' 19th consecutive home victory against Sacramento (25-47). 在上次於达拉斯的交手中，小牛一直追赶国王，最後克服了第三节落後14分 的劣势，以107-103逆转胜，Dirk Nowitzki拿到全队最高的34分，帮助小牛 拿下主场对战国王的19连胜。 The Mavericks have won 16 of 18 overall matchups and split this season's series. They fell 112-97 in Sacramento on Dec. 9, but the Kings haven't won in Dallas since Feb. 27, 2003. 小牛最近对国王的18战拿下16胜，本季两度交手双方各取一胜，在12月9日 的交手中小牛以97-112在客场大败，不过国王自从2003年2月27日之後就没 在达拉斯赢过球。 Only Golden State's 30-game skid in San Antonio is longer among the NBA's active road losing streaks against one opponent. 国王在达拉斯的19连败，是现今单一球队在一客场的第二长连败纪录，仅次 於金州勇士在圣安东尼奥马刺主场的30连败。 Sacramento enters this game having dropped eight of 11 and six of seven away from home. The Kings played for the second straight night without point guard Isaiah Thomas (bruised right quad) in a 94-81 loss at Oklahoma City on Friday. 国王最近11场比赛输了8场，进7场客场比赛输了6场，先发控球後卫Isaiah Thomas连续两场比赛因为右侧四头肌瘀伤缺赛，导致昨天以81-94客场败给 奥克拉荷马雷霆。 Leading scorer DeMarcus Cousins, 10th in the league with 22.2 points per game, finished with four on 2-of-8 shooting. Rudy Gay, averaging 19.8, had seven while missing eight of 11 shots. 国王的得分王DeMarcus Cousins以22.2分的场均得分排名联盟第10，不过昨 天他投8中2只拿4分，平均能拿19.8分的Rudy Gay昨天投11中只得到7分。 "The toughest position to lose is your point guard, just because he runs your team, and there were times tonight where obviously, we didn't look like an organized basketball team," coach Michael Malone said. 国王教练Michael Malone说："损失一名控球後卫是球场上最麻烦的，他组织 球队的进攻，今晚我们看起来不像是个有组织的篮球队。" Cousins had 32 points and 19 rebounds in the win over the Mavericks in December but sat out the loss in Dallas because of a sprained left ankle. Gay had 35 points in that road defeat, his second-most in any game this season. Cousins在本季主场打败小牛的比赛中狂砍32分19篮板，不过在第二次对战时 他因为左脚踝扭伤缺赛，该场比赛Rudy Gay跳出来拿下本季第二高的35分， 但国王还是输球。 Thomas was averaging 24.0 points and 6.3 assists in his last three matchups with Dallas, but his status is unclear for this season. Derrick Williams had a career-high 31 points in the home victory over the Mavericks but might sit out again with an illness. 在最近三次对战，Thomas平均拿到24.0分6.3助攻，不过他的伤势未明，在初 次对战时拿到生涯最高31分的Derrick Williams则可能因为生病继续缺阵。 "We don't have a lot of bodies, so the guys who are able to play need to play with more of a sense of urgency and greater effort," Malone said. Malone说："我们的球员不多，所以能上场的球员们要有危机意识，打出更好 的表现。" Dallas' Monta Ellis is averaging 23.3 points in his last three games against Sacramento. 小牛的Monta Ellis最近三次对上国王平均攻下23.3分。 其实这波赛程对小牛真的很有利 主场八连战 每场都休一天 而且已经连续第三个对手是B2B打完来打小牛(最後一场勇士其实也是) 希望小牛真的要赶快回神 不然等到後面只会更难打... 加油吧!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
