Red-hot mavs rolling into March thanks to Dirk's career-best shooting By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News Published 01 March 2011 12:15 AM http://tinyurl.com/6cqwdrx PHILADELPHIA — It’s hard to tell who was sadder to see February end, the Mavericks or all those folks who got $5 -Dollar Footlongs. The Mavericks devoured the month like so many Philly cheesesteaks, going 11-1 and feasting on mostly sub-standard opposition. What they can take out of February is a fattened-up record and the knowledge that they re-learned how to run their system with a mix-and-match lineup that put a premium on unselfish play, no matter which combination of players was on the court. Look no further than the assist total for February as proof. The Mavericks dished out 25.2 helpers per game, a sizeable bump from the 22.5 they averaged before February. 小牛吞噬了有如此多費城起司牛排的一個月，打出了11勝1敗的成績。他們用混合搭 配的方式重新學習到如何跑他們的系統，用無私的打打， 不管球場上的球員是什麼 樣的組合 小牛本季平均傳出22.5次助攻，2月更是多達25.2次。 The Mavericks’ sizzle actually started in late January, when they won their last five games to salvage an 8-8 month. 小牛的嘶吼從1月底開始，贏得了最後5場比賽，挽救了只有8勝8敗的一個月。 Since then, it’s been all good, particularly for Dirk Nowitzki, who hasn’t had to score as much as usual thanks to the way his teammates are spreading the scoring wealth. 自從那之後，這一直都很好，特別是Dirk不需要像平常一樣得那麼多分， 這都要感 謝隊友們幫忙得分。 “The key is that he’s gotten into a good rhythm and he’s playing with a lot of different guys because of our rotation, and I think that’s helped our team,” coach Rick Carlisle said. 總教練Rick Carlisle說：關鍵就是他進入一個很好的節奏，因為我們的調度，他也 和很多不同的球員搭配，而我想這幫助了我們的球隊。 And it’s helped Nowitzki, too. He’s shooting a career-best 52.4 percent and was even better than that in February. While his scoring average is down more than two points from last year and almost four points below his career best, he’s clearly more efficient as he’s seen his playing time drop by three minutes per game. 而這也幫助了Dirk。他的投籃命中率是生涯新高的5成24，而2月甚至更好。 雖然他 的平均得分比起去年下降了2分多，也幾乎比生涯最佳少了幾乎4分，然而很明顯的， 他是更有效率了，從他的上場時間平均少了3分鐘來看。 Nowitzki said Monday that the shuffling of lineups is a positive thing for the Mavericks and that the depth already is paying dividends and will be an even greater asset in the playoffs. Even though rotations tend to shorten in the postseason, the Mavericks have different sorts of players who can contribute against different opponents. It ’s all based on match-ups. And all of them know they can mesh with Nowitzki. 即使季後賽的調度會緊縮，而小牛有不同的類型的球員可以去對抗不同的對手， 這 完全看對戰組合。而他們都知道可以和Dirk互相配合。 “To me, we have a veteran team and it doesn’t really matter who is out there with you,” he said. “We all know how to play the game and it all goes back to Jason Kidd and how unselfish everybody is.” 對我來說，我們是支老經驗的球隊，我們真的不太在乎誰下場休息， 我們都知道如 何打比賽，而這完全追溯到對每個人都無私的Kidd。 It also ensures the Mavericks have plenty of weapons to hedge against occasional slumps by individual players. 這也保證了小牛勇有足夠的武器去防備個人臨時的低潮。 -- ╭─────────╮ Our Way Our Will Our Win ╭╯Dallas Mavericks╭╯ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ╰─────────╯ --
