Mavericks-Spurs Preview Dirk Nowitzki missed from several of his usual spots as Dallas blew a lead in the fourth quarter of its playoff-opening loss to San Antonio. 在达拉斯小牛与圣安东尼奥马刺的第一战中，Dirk Nowitzki在第四节投失了 不少以往能投近的球，间接导致小牛把领先花光，遭到马刺逆转。 The Mavericks star even flubbed a glorified layup, the most surprising of all the misses when Dallas went without a meaningful basket for the final 8 minutes of the 90-85 loss to the Spurs. Dirk甚至还在篮下放了大枪，是第四节後期最可惜的一球，小牛在第四节最後 八分钟没有投进任何有意义的一球，终场以85-90败北。 Now Nowitzki has to bounce back from one of the worst playoff games of his 16-year career when the Mavericks play at San Antonio in Game 2 on Wednesday night. Dirk必须从几乎是16年来最差的季後赛表现中走出，明天两队将进行第二战。 It's hard to imagine Dallas knocking off the team with the NBA's best record as long as Nowitzki has 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting. It was his lowest point total in the playoffs in seven years. The Mavericks aren't imagining it. 当Dirk投14中4只得到11分－这是他七年来季後赛的最低得分－小牛几乎没有 机会能扳倒西区第一的马刺，队友也知道这一点。 "Dirk is our least concern," said backup guard Devin Harris, who led Dallas with 19 points in the opener. "He is going to get his shots and we know he's going to make them." Devin Harris在第一战攻下全队最高的19分，他说："我们最不需担心的就是 Dirk了，他会找回他的手感的。" The Spurs tend to make it harder on the pure-shooting 7-footer, crowding him at the 3-point line and bumping him when he gets closer to the basket. 马刺会持续对Dirk加压，在三分线外就派人盯防，当Dirk往内线移动时，会 有更多人来推挤他。 When Nowitzki had plans to take over in the fourth quarter with post-up moves, the Spurs blindsided him with a second defender and forced a turnover. That sequence came during a 14-0 San Antonio run that wiped out an 81-71 Dallas lead. 当Dirk在第四节想使出低外单打时，马刺很快的就利用包夹制造失误，这是 马刺最後14-0攻势当中的一球，很快的就让小牛81-71的领先化为虚无。 "We basically stayed with him a lot of times and we didn't help," said Spurs center Tiago Splitter, who shares most of the defensive load on Nowitzki with Boris Diaw. "That makes the other guys have to work a little bit more. So it wasn't just me and Boris." 马刺中锋Tiago Splitter说："Boris Diaw与我整场比赛都跟着他，不去帮 忙防守其他球员，这会让其他队员防守负担变大一点，所以防守Dirk并不只 是靠我们两个。"Splitter与Diaw担任主要防守Dirk的任务。 This is how it's always been the six times the Mavericks and Spurs have met in the playoffs since Nowitzki came to Dallas. The Spurs find a way to take Nowitzki out of the game. The Mavericks look for a way to make him a factor again, knowing it won't be easy. 这是在Dirk加入之後，小牛与马刺的六次交手中马刺一贯的伎俩，让Dirk的 破坏性减低，小牛必须找到方法让他加入战局，但这并不容易。 "I don't think they're going to leave me much on pick-and-roll coverage all series," Nowitzki said. "I can't just sit out there and measure the wind and shoot." Dirk说："我想他们不会让我在挡拆的时候跑出空档，我很难在有空档的情况 下出手。" The last time Nowitzki scored 11 points in a playoff game, he came back with 50 against Phoenix in 2006, when the Mavericks topped the Suns in the Western Conference finals before Miami beat them for the title. 上一次Dirk在季後赛的比赛只得到11分时，在接下来的那场比赛，他砍进50分， 帮助小牛在2006年西区冠军战对上凤凰城太阳时听牌，不过小牛最後败给迈阿密 热火。 That's unlikely to happen again because the 35-year-old Nowitzki no longer carries that kind of offensive load. Instead, he shares it with a variety of options led by guard Monta Ellis. 但35岁的Dirk不太可能再有这种演出，因为他不需要一肩扛起进攻重担，後卫 Monta Ellis会分担攻击的责任。 He rarely shoots 26 times a game as he did back then - and coming off a bad game isn't going to tempt him. 他不会再像得到50分时出手26次，尽管上一场打的不太好。 "You don't want to overthink it," said Nowitzki, who has had several clunkers during Dallas' current 10-game losing streak to the Spurs. "You don't want to go completely crazy and just hoist everything you see because some of those shots are contested. They've got to be within the flow and within the rhythm of the game." Dirk说："我不想太在意这点，我不会在下一场比赛抓狂般的去投篮，因为对 手常常对我实施干扰，我必须找到手感，以及对的节奏。"在小牛对马刺的10 连败期间，Dirk也有几场比赛打的较差。 Dallas coach Rick Carlisle is sure those shots will be. "The thing about all-time great players is that it's not about one day coming in and saying, `Hey, I'm going to go harder today' or `I'm going to be more aggressive today,"' Carlisle said. "He's had the same approach every day for 16 years." 小牛的教练Rick Carlisle也不担心Dirk，他说："他是个伟大的球员，他不会 有一天突然说我要投很多球，或是要打的更积极，他已经照着自己的节奏打了 16年。" And the Spurs have had the same game plan. "Even some days we do a good defense and he's going to still make shots," Splitter said. "If he has that kind of day it's hard. All you've got to do is pray that the ball doesn't go in." The Mavericks are hoping it does. Otherwise it figures to be a short series. 而马刺也会用一用的防守策略，Splitter说："尽管我们有时候用出一样好的 防守，Dirk还是能把球投进，如果他手感好时，我们怎麽守都没用，只能祈祷 球不要进而已。" 小牛也希望Dirk能赶快找到手感，不然可能很快就要放暑假了。 上一场真的很可惜 希望第二战大家继续加油!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
