Thunder-Mavericks Preview Oklahoma City's initial stretch without Kevin Durant didn't go so well, but the strong play of Russell Westbrook is easing the Thunder through their star's absence this time around. 奥克拉荷马雷霆的Kevin Durant归队不久後又受伤了，不过最近Russell Westbrook的强势表现依旧能够维持住雷霆的成绩。 They seek a third straight victory Sunday night as they visit a Dallas Mavericks team that's becoming more comfortable with Rajon Rondo running the point. 雷霆希望寻求最近的三连胜，明天他们要做客挑战达拉斯小牛，小牛继续 在适应Rajon Rondo加入之後的战术调整。 Oklahoma City started 5-12 as Durant recovered from a right foot fracture he suffered in the offseason, and Westbrook missed 14 of those games with a broken hand. The Thunder (15-16) won seven of nine when Durant returned to the lineup, but that stretch included a loss at Golden State on Dec. 18 when he left in the second quarter with a sprained right ankle. 雷霆在Durant因为右脚骨折缺阵时，开季打出5胜12败的成绩，其中Westbrook 也因为手掌骨折缺席14场，之後雷霆在KD归队之後的9场比赛赢下7场，不过 在12月18日对上金州勇士的比赛中，KD在第二节因为扭到了右脚踝离场，雷 霆也吞下败仗。 Durant has been out since, but Westbrook has averaged 32.6 points during a 3-2 stretch after netting 29 in three quarters of Friday's 98-75 home win over Charlotte. Durant再度缺阵至今，不过最近五场比赛Westbrook平均拿到32.6分，帮助 雷霆取得了3胜2败，昨天他只打了三节就拿下29分，最後以98-75在主场大 胜夏洛特黄蜂，战绩来到15胜16败。 "We did a good job of locking in on our task at hand and took care of business," Westbrook said. "We just played our game, did a good job of playing at a good pace." Westbrook说："我们把自己该做的事做的很好，就是打出自己的风格，并 且掌控比赛的节奏。" Serge Ibaka added 13 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks for his first double-double in 11 games. Serge Ibaka昨天拿到13分14篮板4火锅，这是他近11场比赛以来第1次拿到 双十的成绩。 "He's been rebounding and blocking shots much better," coach Scott Brooks said. "He's played well. We just have to keep the pick-and-roll defense on with him. That's where he's really picked it up." 雷霆教练Scott Brooks说："他最近把抓篮板与封阻时做得更好了，我们希 望他能帮助我们应付挡切战术的防守，最近他做的不错。" Durant returned to practice Saturday but offered no timetable for his return. Brooks has been impressed with his team's improvement, especially with Durant out, and now the Thunder can reach .500 for the first time this season. Durant今天有参与练习，但是归期还不一定，尽管他最近没办法上场，Brooks 还是对於球队的进步感到印象深刻，雷霆明天有机会挑战本季第一次来到五成 胜率。 "We've been solid for a while now," Brooks said. "We just continue to get better month by month." Brooks说："我们最近打的蛮好的，希望能一个月比一个月进步。" Dallas (21-10) has split four games since acquiring Rondo from Boston, but he had his best night since the trade in Friday's 102-98 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. 小牛在Rondo从波士顿塞尔提克转队加入之後的四场比赛打出了两胜两败， 而昨天他打出交易以来最佳的表现，帮助球队以102-98在主场击败洛杉矶 湖人。 Rondo scored a season-high 21 points - his previous high was 20 in the Celtics' loss to the Thunder on Nov. 12 - while hitting 10 of 17 from the floor and adding eight rebounds with seven assists. Rondo昨天拿到本季新高的21分，他之前的本季最高得分是上个月对上雷霆 的20分。昨天他投17中10，并拿到8篮板7助攻。 "Just getting a lot more comfortable," Rondo said. "Coach (Rick Carlisle) just told me to try to get in the paint. I try to take what the defense gives me. We basically just have to communicate on the floor. The game is still the same." Rondo说："我感觉越来越自在了，教练告诉我多往里面切，我也会尽力去 应付防守球员，我们现在只需要在场上有更多的沟通，比赛并没有太大的 改变。" Dirk Nowitzki had 14 points to pass Elvin Hayes for eighth on the NBA's all-time scoring list with 27,322. He's been playing through a stomach ailment recently. Dirk Nowitzki昨天拿到14分，超越传奇球星Elvin Hayes来到NBA总得分 排行榜第8名，生涯得分来到27322分，不过他最近带着腹部的疼痛上场 比赛。 "It's been up and down for last couple of weeks so had to get it checked out," Nowitzki said. "Just hope to feel better soon." Dirk说："最近几个礼拜我都因为这件事情状况有起有落，所以我去做了 检查，希望可以尽快好转。" Dallas gradually is getting better adjusting to the roster shake-up, and Nowitzki is becoming more impressed with his newest teammate. 小牛在阵容洗牌之後逐渐的进步，Dirk也对於Rondo赞誉有加。 "He's starting to run a great show," Nowitzki said of Rondo, averaging a league-high 10.5 assists. "He's starting to understand when he needs to be aggressive, get in the lane, when he needs to shoot, and he still has obviously the great passing gene that you need as a great point guard. I think he looks pretty sharp, and we have to keep it going and get used to each other even more as the competition gets stiffer." Rondo以场均10.5次助攻在联盟排行第一，Dirk谈到他说："看Rondo在场上 打球就像看表演一样，他渐渐知道什麽时候要打的更积极，需要切入或是 投射，而他的传球能力当然还是一流的，他是个很棒的控球後卫，我觉得 他打的很有侵略性，我们希望继续磨合下去，来应付之後更艰难的比赛。" Rondo likely will draw the assignment of guarding Westbrook, who has averaged 29.7 points in his last three in Dallas. Rondo明天的首要任务应该是防守Westbrook，他在最近三次客场对上小牛 时平均能得到29.7分。 These teams haven't met since March 25, when Nowitzki scored 32 as the Mavericks ended a five-game home losing streak to the Thunder - including playoffs - with a 128-119 overtime victory. 两队自从今年3月底之後就没有在对战过了，那场比赛Dirk拿到32分， 帮助小牛中止了季赛加季後赛对上雷霆的主场五连败，以128-119在延 长赛获胜。 最近的主场比赛比较多 要好好把握呀!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
