By Chris Tomasson, Rocky Mountain News January 26, 2007 SALT LAKE CITY - Words between the Nuggets and the Jazz are being flung around the Mountain Time Zone. 金块和爵士两队之间的笔战已经在 Mountain Time Zone 延烧开来了。 One might presume the Nuggets are vowing to catch Utah in the Northwest Division. And one might figure those in Utah are insisting the lead will be maintained. 有一方认为金块势必会在西北区追上爵士。 而另一方则坚持爵士会保住领先的地位。 The Jazz (28-15) has a four-game lead over the Nuggets (22-17). A Jazz win would give it a commanding 2-0 lead in the season series, important if the teams end tied. 爵士队 (28-15) 领先了金块队 (22-17) 四场的胜差。 若是这场爵士赢了，那他们将会以 2-0 领先两队的对战纪录，这对之後两队在战绩上 打成平手时是很重要的。 A Nuggets win would cut the Jazz lead to one game in the loss column. And it might lead to Jazz players hearing footsteps. 而若是金块队赢的话，那爵士在败场的部份将会缩下成只领先一场。 这可能会让爵士的球员们感到一些被追赶的压力。 The Nuggets have won five straight, three before Anthony's return. The Jazz has kicked away some recent winnable games. 金块已经赢得五连胜，包括 Melo 回来前的三连胜。 而爵士却在最近搞砸了一些他们应该赢得的比赛。 FOUL TALK: Sounds as if Sloan is working the officials already. Sloan 看起来先对裁判的哨音打了预防针... "They got two guys who can get 15 to 18 free throws every night," he said of Anthony and Iverson. "That's a tremendous advantage before the game starts. . . . I don't know whether they earn it or not. The way the league is, if you're a scorer, you can't touch them . . . " 他们拥有两个能在每场比赛得到15-18个罚球的球员，在比赛赛前这就是一个很大的好处 我不知道他们是怎样得到这些罚球，但这就是联盟的作法，如果你是一个得分球员，那 我们不能碰到他们... ANTHONY RUSTY BUT HAPPY: Anthony is pleased with his play since his return. Melo 对他回来後的表现感到满意。 "I don't think people expected me to come back in the shape that I'm in, playing the way I've been playing," said Anthony, who said he does have a "little rust" and must improve his jumper. Melo：我想大家不会期待我一回来就能回到之前的状态，就照着我打球的方式打吧。 Melo 说他有一点生疏且需要改进他的跳投。 Karl said he wishes "defense would become more of a habit" for Anthony. Karl 对 Melo 的期望则是：防守能成为他的一种习惯。 "I'd rather see him have an average defense than good and bad defense," Karl said. Karl说，我宁愿看到他有个稳定的防守总好过那时好时坏的防守。 Notes: 笔记 Evans, who missed practice Thursday, expects to play but could be hampered. "I feel weak. I'm a power type of player," said Evans, who said missing practice hurt because Karl wants to move him to different spots with Anthony, who has averaged 31 points in two games after a 15-game suspension, posting up more. . . . Evans 缺席了礼拜四的训练... 对爵士的比赛他虽会上场，但可能上场时间会被压缩。 那是因为 Karl 为了配合 Melo 而打算把他移到不一样的位置。 Najera practiced and vows to return after missing his first game of the season, a 117-112 win in Seattle on Tuesday. . . . 马市长发誓会回到球场上。 Nene, bothered all season by a sore right knee, has averaged 14 points the past three games, including 17 in Seattle. "My knee is still killing me," he said. "I do my best. There is no difference." . . . Nene 虽然有伤在身，但打起来还是非常拼命。 Boozer had 39 points and 15 rebounds in a 132-130 overtime home loss against Memphis on Wednesday. Boozer 上一场得了 39分 15篮板。 D.Williams 前两场比赛传出 36个助攻却只有 1次失误。 --
