had 25 assists after finishing with 17 in Tuesday's 101-100 loss at San
Antonio.

幕战以100-101败给马刺的比赛中，他们只送出17次助攻。
"We were moving the ball," Parsons said. "Our wings were running the floor
and getting to the corners, and that allows our guards to get into the paint
so much easier. You have to pick your poison with us. ... We have a lot of
ways to hurt you."
Parsons说："我们的球传导顺畅，锋线球员不断跑动，钻到底角，这让我们的
后味很容易杀到禁区。对手有很多不同的点要防，这会让他们很头痛。"
Dallas beat visiting New Orleans 108-89 in the last matchup Feb. 26. The
Pelicans took a 27-20 lead into the second quarter before losing Davis, who
averaged 24.5 points and 13.5 rebounds in the previous two meetings, to a
shoulder injury with 4:13 left in the first half.

Davis在开幕战时拿下26分17篮板3抄截与平生涯新高的9记阻攻，如此夸张的
成绩帮助鹈鹕以101-84痛击来访的奥兰多魔术。
"If he gets (10 blocks) naturally, great, but that's not our focus and that's
not his focus," said coach Monty Williams, who subbed Davis out to a standing
ovation with 2:29 to play. "I'm sure he'll take a win over a triple-double
any time."
鹈鹕教练Monty Williams说："如果Davis能自然的拿下10火锅完成大三元当然
很好，但这不是我们的重点，也不是他希望追求的，我知道他总是认为取胜比
起拿下大三元还要重要。"Williams在倒数2分29秒时换下Davis，他在退场时
获得全场起立鼓掌欢呼。

26个进攻篮板当中的16个。

me able to move around, just try to follow the ball and get rebounds," Davis
said. "It's a good combination."
Davis说："我们知道我们在禁区是很大的威胁，他能让我在禁区游走的更顺畅，
他总是试着去抓下篮板，我们会是很棒的组合。"
Ryan Anderson finished with 22 points and nine rebounds off the bench after
missing the final 51 games last season due to a herniated disc. He went 3 of
6 from 3-point range while the rest of the team was 1 for 11.
Ryan Anderson从板凳跳出拿下22分9篮板，去年他因为椎间盘突出缺席了最后
51场比赛。昨天他三分球投6中3，其他队友投11仅中1。
"Out of shape a little ... we are feeling it out," he said. "It's good that
we got this win. It's good that we showed how well we can play. We can get
better, we can play even better. But we did a great job rebounding and
playing defense. That's what this team can do."
Anderson说："我还有一点生疏，不过我会找到感觉的。拿下首胜感觉很好，这
展现了我们也可以打的很好，我们还能打的更好。我们在抓篮板与防守做的很
棒，这是我们的强项。"

against the Pelicans in 2013-14. Nowitzki scored 40 in a 110-107 win at home
