Rockets-Mavericks Preview (AP) - The Dallas Mavericks are back home, but at the rate things are going they might be staying there for the summer. 达拉斯小牛回家了，但带着就地解散放暑假的可能。 Chandler Parsons' playoffs are over, Rajon Rondo's volatile turn in Dallas is done and a postseason run that barely got started may soon be finished as well if the Mavericks can't quickly turn things around in Friday night's Game 3 against the Houston Rockets. Chandler Parsons与Rajon Rondo都放暑假了，小牛如果明天的第三战不振作， 很快就要放暑假了。 Dallas announced Wednesday that Rondo injured his back before the last of several times the point guard was benched in four months under Rick Carlisle - including almost all of the second half of a 111-99 loss to Houston on Tuesday night that gave the Rockets a 2-0 series lead. 小牛昨天宣布Rondo因为背伤将不会归队，在这之前他多次因为与教练的摩擦 而被冰在板凳上，包括第二战几乎整个下半场都坐板凳，小牛最後以99-111败 北，让休士顿火箭取得2-0的系列领先。 Asked if he thought the free agent-to-be - who came over in a December trade with Boston - would wear a Mavericks uniform again, Carlisle didn't mess around. "No, I don't," the coach said. 当小牛教练Rick Carlisle被问到Rondo是否还会以小牛球员身分出赛时，他斩 钉截铁地说不会了。Rondo在去年12月被交易到小牛，这个夏天将成为自由球 员。 Rondo and Carlisle had a February shouting match on the court that resulted in a one-game suspension, and the latest of his benchings came Tuesday. Rondo was quickly pulled in the second half after picking up his third and fourth fouls guarding James Harden and receiving a technical after one of the calls. Rondo跟卡帅在二月曾经在场上叫嚣，Rondo也因此被禁赛一场。Rondo在第二战 的下半场因为在防守James Harden时很快地吞下两犯，并且因为抱怨而被吹了 技术犯规，卡帅决定不再让他上场。 Parsons won't get to finish the first year of a three-year, $46 million deal he signed last summer, an offer Houston declined to match. He tried to keep playing after getting hurt at Indiana on March 29, but came out early two games later against his former team. Parsons去年夏天得到小牛开出三年46M的合约，前东家火箭没有匹配报价，而 本季也宣告结束了。他在3月29日作客印地安那时弄伤了膝盖，他本来想带伤 上阵，但在两场之後对上火箭时，还是因为伤势而缺席剩下的例行赛。 The 26-year-old forward pushed hard to get ready for the playoffs, then played 37 minutes in the opener before sitting out Game 2. Parsons努力的复健，希望在季後赛复出，在第一战上场37分钟之後，他缺席 了第二战。 Devin Harris also missed Game 2 with a left toe injury, but he's probable to play Friday and the Mavericks certainly could use him with Rondo done. It's unclear if he or J.J. Barea will start in the backcourt alongside Monta Ellis. Devin Harris第二战也因为左脚大拇指受伤缺阵，不过明天他应该能上场，顺 势补上Rondo的空缺，小牛还没决定要让他还是J.J. Barea来与Monta Ellis搭 档先发。 "We're coming home and we've got the best fans in the league," Carlisle told the team's official website. "We're excited to be home, so that's where we are. 卡帅在球队官网访问说到："我们回到主场，全联盟最棒的球迷在等着我们，我 们很高兴能回到主场。" "From here, we're moving forward. We've got a series to win and we've got to win Game 3 with the guys that are available." 他说："我们会继续前进，希望赢下这个系列赛，希望下一场我们能用现有的球 员来赢球。" Unfortunately for Carlisle, no one on the roster looked capable of defending Dwight Howard in Game 2. After foul trouble limited him to just 17 minutes in the opener, Houston's big man had 28 points and 12 rebounds Tuesday in 33 minutes - his most since January 19. 遗憾的是，第二战看起来没有人挡得住Dwight Howard，Howard因为犯规麻烦， 在第一战只上场17分钟，不过第二战他在33分钟之内拿下了28分12篮板，这是 自从1月19日以来的最佳纪录。 "It's playoff basketball," said Howard, who missed 41 regular-season games with right knee injuries. "I think for guys that have been around for a while they tend to play a little bit different in the playoffs than they do in the regular season. It's a new season for myself and I get a chance to start fresh." Howard因为膝盖伤势缺席了41场例行赛，他说："这是季後赛，我想大家都会 比例行赛更为认真，我们这当作一个新的球季A对我来说是个新的开始。" Howard had a huge series in the first round against Portland a year ago even as Houston lost, and he seems to be relishing a matchup with fellow former defensive player of the year Tyson Chandler. The two had to be separated by teammates in Game 2 after Chandler pushed Howard down and received a technical foul. Howard去年在第一轮碰上波特兰拓荒者时打出高水准的演出，不过火箭还是 遭到淘汰。今年他在碰上同样曾经获选年度最佳防守球员的Tyson Chandler 面前打得一样强势，Chandler第二战还因为推了Howard吞下技术犯规。 "It's not a one-on-one matchup," Howard said. "I know his job is to get me frustrated and get me into a fight and a wrestling match with him and that way I'm not focused on what I need to do for my team. I have to stay in that zone." Howard说："这不是单打独斗，我知道他希望惹毛我，希望让我打的更粗暴， 我知道怎样能帮助球队，我得留在场上守护禁区。" While Howard's dunks and blocks - he has seven of the latter in the first two games - could fill a highlight reel, they're far from his only contributions. Teammates raved about the work he does on defense that doesn't show up under his name on the box score. Howard的灌篮与火锅肆虐了小牛的禁区，前两战他一共盖了7个火锅，屡屡登 上精彩镜头，不过队友说他还在防守上贡献了更多数据看不到的东西。 "(There's) the shots that he deterred," point guard Jason Terry said. "They're coming in there throwing up these high-arching, rainbow shots ... that's not a high-percentage shot. It's not something that you work on, so he's doing his job whether it shows up in the block category or not." 控球後卫Jason Terry说："他还会干扰投篮，对手在切入时都得用高难度的高 抛投，这会让对手命中率降低。就算他没有成功封盖，也对对手造成影响。" His presence in that area can be seen in the Mavericks' statistics, though, where Chandler and Dirk Nowitzki combined to make just 5 of 20 shots in Game 2. 他的防守让小牛的数据受到很大的影响，Chandler与Dirk Nowitzki第二战合计 投20仅中5。 "You've got a guy that's a massive difference-maker at the rim at both ends of the floor," Carlisle said. "We know his game, we know his greatness. Two summers ago, backed up the truck and tried to get him here." 卡帅说："我们知道他在禁区能在攻守两端造成很大的改变，我们知道他的长 处，所以两年前我们才会力邀他加盟。" Houston didn't have to do that for Howard's former AAU teammate Josh Smith, grabbing him for just $2 million after Detroit ate $27 million to make the erratic veteran go away. But Smith has been excellent off the bench for the Rockets, posting one of his best all-around efforts in Game 2 with 15 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. 火箭今年还签下了遭到底特律活塞挥弃的Josh Smith，活塞要吃下27M的薪水， 但火箭只用了2M就签来这位Howard的前高中队友。Smith在第二战打出了加入火 箭以来最全能的成绩，拿到15分8篮板9助攻。 "He and Dwight had some beautiful hook-ups and lob passes, and he just did a wonderful job of getting into spots and making the next play and breaking down the defense," coach Kevin McHale said. 火箭教练Kevin McHale说："Smith跟Howard有很多漂亮的空中接力，他在走位 跟防守上都做得很好。" The Rockets haven't grabbed a 3-0 lead in a best-of-7 series since sweeping Orlando to win the 1995 title. 火箭自从1995年总决赛横扫奥兰多魔术封王之後，就不曾在七战四胜制的比赛 中取得3-0的领先。 回到主场 希望能拿下第一胜啊!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
