Mavericks-Raptors Preview The Dallas Mavericks have one of the best assist-to-turnover ratios in the NBA thanks in large part to the steady play of Jose Calderon. 多虧了新成員Jose Calderon的穩定發揮，達拉斯小牛本季在助攻失誤比的項目 排名聯盟前段班。 Calderon was greeted warmly in his first return to Toronto, but the receptions have been different for Vince Carter when he's gone back north. Calderon在上季首度回到多倫多出賽時受到熱烈歡迎，然而Vince Carter卻得到 多倫多鄉親截然不同的待遇。 Carter has also been efficient with the basketball and Wednesday night's contest figures to be one of his final games in Toronto as the Mavericks continue a three-game trip. VC最近的效率不錯，明天的比賽可能是他生涯為數不多造訪多倫多的機會了，這 是小牛客場三連戰的第二場。 Dallas (25-18) is third in the NBA with a 1.72 assist-to-turnover mark behind Calderon, who's second in that category at 3.98. The Spanish guard was a popular player while spending more than seven seasons with the Raptors (20-20) before being traded to Detroit on Jan. 30. 25勝18敗的小牛本季的助攻失誤比為1.72，Calderon的助攻失誤比本季在聯盟排 行第二，每場的比率是3.98。來自西班牙的他生涯前七年多都待在多倫多暴龍， 去年一月底才被交易到底特律活塞。 Calderon had 19 points and nine assists in his first game back, a 108-98 victory with the Pistons on April 1. He was honored with a standing ovation during pregame introductions and a special video tribute during a first-quarter timeout. Calderon在首度客場對上暴龍的比賽攻下19分9助攻，讓活塞得以108-98獲勝，他 在賽前介紹球員時受到球迷與觀眾的起立鼓掌歡迎，且暴龍官方還在第一節的暫停 時播放了特製的影片。 That's in stark contrast to how Carter has been treated in his visits to face the team with which he spent his first six-plus seasons. This will mark his 13th regular-season game as a visitor in Toronto, where he's been booed repeatedly since the days when he was dubbed 'Air Canada' for his high-flying exploits. 這對Carter來說是個天大的對比，他生涯前六年多也待再暴龍，這將會是他生涯第 13度客場對暴龍，這位前「加拿大航空」在回到多倫多的出賽都遭到噓聲以對。 Carter turns 37 on Sunday, although this may not be his final season. He's been solid as the Mavericks' fifth-leading scorer with 11.2 points per game while ranking third with a 1.89 assist-to-turnover ratio. VC下禮拜天就要滿37歲了，不過他應該還不會退休。他在本季以11.2分的平均得分 在小牛排行第五，而1.89的助攻失誤比排球隊第三。 Toronto fans who still have a vendetta against Carter were happy the last time these teams met, as he was held scoreless with a season-high six turnovers in the Mavs' 109-108 overtime home loss Dec. 20. Calderon had 23 points, nine assists and one turnover. 上次兩隊碰頭時，小牛在主場以108-109遭到暴龍大逆轉，於延長賽敗北，VC的表 現讓視VC如仇的暴龍球迷相當高興，該場VC得0分，犯下本季最多的六次失誤，而 Calderon則是拿到23分9助攻1次失誤。 That contest was the Raptors' fourth since the majority of the players acquired from Sacramento in the Rudy Gay deal Dec. 9 made their team debuts. 暴龍在12月9日把Rudy Gay送到沙加緬度國王，上一場對上小牛是「新暴龍」的第 四場出賽。 Toronto has lost five of nine since a 9-2 stretch, falling 100-95 at Charlotte on Monday. DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points for the Raptors, who will try to avoid their first three-game slide since the trade. 20勝20敗暴龍在之前一度11戰9勝，最近卻在9場比賽吞下5敗，昨天以95-100客場 敗給夏洛特山貓，DeMar DeRozan攻下25分，暴龍明天希望避免大交易之後首度三 連敗。 "Right now, we have a bunch of guys who are giving into fatigue and nicked up," coach Dwane Casey said. "It's a long season, but, again, you tell a lot about who you are in these situations." 暴龍教練Dwane Casey說："我們現在有許多隊員受疲累影響，球季很長，我們得 在逆境中求好表現。" These teams have split four meetings since Casey took over in Toronto in 2011-12 after serving as Rick Carlisle's assistant with the Mavs for three seasons. Casey在2011-12球季接任暴龍總教練，離開了待了三年的Rick Carlisle小牛助理 教練一職，他帶領與小牛的四場對戰兩勝兩敗。 Dallas improved to 11-4 against Eastern Conference teams with a 102-97 win at Cleveland on Monday. Monta Ellis had 22 points and eight assists as Dallas built a 24-point lead before holding on. 小牛在昨天以102-97打敗克里夫蘭騎士之後，對戰東區球隊來到11勝4敗，Monta Ellis昨天攻下22分8助攻，幫助小牛能在領先24分之後守住勝利。 "We have seen this whole year that this league is getting closer and closer talent-wise," Ellis told the Mavs' official website. "If you have a lead, you have to work at it. It doesn't matter who you play, everybody is going to be right there." Ellis在球隊官網訪問說到："我們整季都在上演這樣的戲碼，聯盟球隊的水準越來 越接近，我們如果在比賽中領先，就要想辦法守住，不管對手是誰，大家都要跳出 來。" Ellis had 21 points and 11 assists in the last meeting with Toronto. He averages 10.2 drives to the basket and was credited with 17 in that matchup. Ellis最近一次對上暴龍平均21分11助攻，他本季平均每場切入10.2次，上一次對 上暴龍一共切了17次。 明天又要輾東區了(?) 不過暴龍本季陣容不錯 上次也在主場踢到鐵板 不知道會上演怎樣的戲碼... Let's Go Mavs!! --
