Mavs credit Yogi Ferrell’s edge for back-to-back wins over Spurs, Cavaliers Earl K. Sneed / January 31, 2017 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DALLAS — Claiming back-to-back wins over two of the best four teams in the NBA record-wise, the Dallas Mavericks credit the play of their latest addition to the lineup for the recent resurgence. 背靠背赢了联盟战绩前四球队中的两队，小牛相信这波连胜受惠於队中的新成员(Yogi)。 Capturing a 105-101 victory Sunday over the Southwest Division-leading San Antonio Spurs, the Mavericks (18-30) seized their first regular-season win at AT&T Center since Nov. 26, 2010. The Mavs then completed a difficult back-to-back Monday night against the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers, using a total team effort to leave their home hardwood with a 104-97 victory. And after signing former NBA Development League standout Yogi Ferrell to a 10-day contract on Saturday, the Mavs say it’s the undersized guard’s competitiveness and unselfishness that has led to their improved play. 星期六，小牛刚与发展联盟球员Yogi Ferrell签下了10天短约。周日便以105-101击败了 西南组龙头-马刺，收下本季在AT&T中心的第一胜，也是2010年11月26日以来在马刺主场 的第一胜。隔天小牛面对来访的卫冕军骑士，并且倾全队之力以104比97将胜利留在自家 主场。正是这位小个子後卫的拚尽与无私改变了他们的比赛。 “We’ve got to give a lot of credit to Yogi. You know, he’s come in and he’ s really turned up the tempo of this team,” swingman Wesley Matthews said after Monday’s win. “He plays with a confidence and a fearlessness. He gets in the paint, and he’s really helping everybody. He’s picked up the offense tremendously, and coach [Rick Carlisle] is encouraging us to run. We’re really embracing that, and we’re executing. "我们必须给Yogi大大的赞。你知道的，他的加入确实改变了我们的步调。"摇摆人 Wesley Matthews在星期一获胜後说道。"他表现的很有自信而且无所畏惧。他能切入、 能助攻，有效地组织球队进攻。教练也激励我们跑起来；我们也如实地执行战术。" “You know, [Ferrell] has got an edge to him. He’s a product of [Indiana coach Tom Crean]. So, partially being a product of Tom Crean myself, I know he ’s been battle tested. … You know, he’s not going to be scared.” "你知道的，Ferrell有着他的优势。他在印地安纳州大接受Tom Crean的指导。而我 (Matthews)在Marquette University前三年的教练也正是Tom Crean。我知道他受过考验。 他不会畏惧。" Sliding right into the starting lineup Sunday in place of injured three-time All-Star point guard Deron Williams (left great toe sprain), Ferrell found himself matched up against former Finals MVP Tony Parker just 24 hours after joining the team. The former Indiana standout then held his own against one of the best lead guards in the league, scoring nine points and dishing out seven assists in his debut while knocking down two clutch free throws to seal the game with 7.3 seconds remaining. 补上受伤的三届全明星後卫Deron Williams的先发位置。Ferrell了解到他将对上总冠军 最有价值球员Tony Parker。此时他加入小牛队还不到24小时。这位前印地安纳州大明星 球员在面对联盟一级後卫的比赛中获得9分，传出7次助攻；并且在终场前7.3秒时稳稳罚 进两球，确保了小牛的胜利。 Ferrell, 23, continued his impressive play the following night against All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, filling up the stat sheet with 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting, five rebounds, three assists and four steals versus the reigning titleholders. And after taking the challenge on consecutive nights, Ferrell has made a lasting impression on his teammates and his head coach. 23岁的Ferrell延续他令人惊艳的表现到隔天面对全明星球员Kyrie Irving。与冠军队 的对抗中，他15投7中得到19分、5篮板、3助攻和4抄截。在连续两晚的挑战後，Ferrell 让队友们和教练对他留下了良好的印象。 “He’s on pace to have one of the greatest 10-days of all time,” Mavs leading scorer Harrison Barnes said while praising Ferrell’s play. “I mean, he is playing with so much heart both offensively and defensively. He has had some tough matchups, but he has brought it every single night and he’s giving us a chance.” "他正在成为联盟最佳十天短约的球员。"球队得分王Harrison Barnes称赞Ferrell的表 现。"他在攻防两端都付出许多精力。他有过一些艰难的比赛，但他每晚都会如此应战， 他正为我们带来机会。" “It shows the importance of point guards in this league with playmaking and positive energy,” Carlisle added. “He had two great nights, and he deserves this. He’s a kid who has worked extremely hard. He went undrafted, which we were surprised by. This is great for him. And it’s a great opportunity for the next seven or eight days, or whatever it is.” "这说明了控卫在这联盟的重要性，组织战术和正面能量。"Carlisle说。"他有两个美好 的夜晚，这是他应得的。我们对於他选秀落榜感到讶异，Ferrell是个非常努力的孩子。 这对他会有帮助。接下来的七天或八天是很好的机会。" Ferrell went undrafted in last June’s draft after starring for four years at Indiana, finishing his collegiate career as a three-time All-Big Ten performer. In four seasons, Ferrell averaged 13.5 points, 4.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds for the Hoosiers while starting in each of his 137 collegiate games. He also left college as the school’s all-time leader in assists, making him attractive to front offices around the league as a free agent. Ferrell在去年六月的选秀会落选。在此之前他在印地安纳州大打了四年球，三度入选 All-Big Ten。大学生涯为Hoosiers先发出赛137场比赛，平均13.5分、4.3助攻和3个 篮板。他也是学校队史的助攻王，这帮助他吸引到联盟一些球探的关注。 The Indianapolis native signed as a free agent with the Brooklyn Nets on Nov. 9, seeing action in 10 games and averaging 5.4 points, 1.7 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per contest before being waived on Dec. 8. But after averaging 18.7 points, 5.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 18 games for the Long Island Nets of the D-League, Ferrell says he’s been eager to take advantage of his opportunity with the Mavericks. 这位印第安纳州民先是在11/9与篮网签约，出赛10场平均上场15.1分钟，获得5.4分、 1.7助攻以及1.2篮板。但是在12/8被裁掉，下放发展联盟。Ferrell表示他非常渴望这 在小牛队的机会。 “When I got the call from my agent, I was about to play a D-league game that night,” Ferrell explained. “About five or six hours before, my agent calls me and said, ‘The Mavericks are going to sign you to a 10-day.’ They flew me right to Dallas immediately. I got here that same night and had to prep for the game the next night in San Antonio. I had to flip mindsets quickly, and I feel like coach Carlisle and the guys on the team have been preparing me well. I get the confidence from those guys to go out there. And when that happens, the sky is the limit. "那晚，我接到经纪人打来的电话时正要出战D-league的比赛。"Ferrell说明。"5、6 个小时前，我的经纪人告诉我，小牛要与我签10天短约，当晚立即专机送我到达拉斯， 准备明天与马刺的比赛。我必须立即调整心态。感觉卡莱尔教练和队友们已经准备好了 ，我从他们那得到信心上场作战。当这一切发生时，天空才是我们的极限。" “I am on Cloud Nine right now,” he added. “We just got two very great back-to-back wins, so I am feeling pretty good. I am living the dream right now. I couldn’t be doing it with a better group of guys right here. It is a great organization, and I love this place.” "我已经在九霄云外了。"他补充道。"我们刚拿下两场重要的胜利，我现在感觉棒极了。 就像在梦中。我现在有着最佳的队友，这是一个优秀的团队，我爱死这里了。" Note: The Mavericks will now return to American Airlines Center on Wednesday, hosting the Philadelphia 76ers. The game will tip off at 7:30 p.m. CT, airing locally on Fox Sports Southwest and 103.3 FM ESPN. The game will also air in Spanish on KFLC AM 1270.
