Timberwolves-Mavericks Preview
The Dallas Mavericks are coming off the most lopsided victory in franchise
history. Saturday night's showdown against struggling Minnesota could also
get out of hand if the Timberwolves' latest effort is any indication.
达拉斯小牛昨天创下队史最大胜分纪录，如果用这样的表现，明天对上
近况很差的明尼苏达灰狼时，结果应该没有太大的悬念。
Dallas (6-3) is set to close a four-game homestand after blowing out winless
Philadelphia 123-70 on Thursday for its second consecutive victory. The
53-point victory surpassed a 128-78 win at New York on Jan. 24, 2010.
开季6胜3败的小牛，明天要打主场四连战的最终战，昨天他们以123-70
痛宰了一胜难求的费城76人，拿下二连胜。53分的胜分差超越了2010年
1月24日他们在纽约尼克主场以128-78获胜的50分纪录。
"The sum total of the whole thing was our guys played hard, they played
together, they concentrated, they didn't have any slippage tonight and we got
the job done," coach Rick Carlisle told the team's official website. "The
score is very lopsided, but you've got to get the win and move on to the next
one."
小牛教练Rick Carlisle在球队官网访问说到："总而言之，这场比赛大
家都打的很拼，展现团队精神，并且毫不手软。这场比赛赢了很多分，
但我们得把心思放在下一场比赛了。"
The Mavericks outscored the 76ers 44-26 in the paint and 32-9 in transition.
They had 39 points off 28 turnovers and limited Philadelphia to 29.9 percent
shooting. Dirk Nowitzki shot 7 of 8 and finished with 21 points in just over
20 minutes.
小牛在禁区以44-26的比分胜过76人，快攻得分更是取得32-9的绝对优
势，利用76人的28次失误得到了39分，更让76人的命中率只有29.9%。
Dirk Nowitzki只打了20分中，就投8中7拿下21分。
"It was an all-around good effort, and it's over now. We've got to focus on
Minnesota (on Saturday) and finish the homestand off right," Nowitzki said.
Dirk说："我们在各个地方表现都很好，不过比赛已经结束了，我们要
把焦点放在灰狼身上，希望能以胜利告别主场。"
The Timberwolves (2-6) have dropped four in a row after enduring a 139-91
drubbing at New Orleans on Friday. Minnesota shot 3 of 14 from 3-point range
and never had a chance after entering the second quarter down 43-19.
2胜6败的灰狼吞下了4连败，今天以91-139客场惨败给纽奥良鹈鹕，灰
狼的三分球投14中3，在第二节一度以19-43落后时，比赛几乎就已经
宣告结束了。
"I am at a loss for words," guard Kevin Martin said. "Being a competitor, you
don't wish nights like this on anyone. We just have to stick together, get
through this storm."
后卫Kevin Martin说："我无话可说了，作为一个竞争者，没有人想要
用这种方式输球，我们得团结起来走过低潮。"
The Timberwolves' season-worst 24 turnovers led to 33 points for the
Pelicans, who set new franchise marks for points, field-goal percentage
(66.7) and largest margin of victory.
灰狼犯下本季最多的24次失误，让鹈鹕借此得到33分，而鹈鹕在这场比
赛创下了队史最高得分、最佳命中率(66.7%)和最高胜分差纪录。
"I've been in the league 17 years and I've never seen anyone shoot like
that," coach Flip Saunders said." I could have put five chairs out on the
court and they wouldn't have shot that well."
灰狼教练Flip Saunders说："我已经待在联盟17年了，没看过对手准成
这样的，就算把我们的球员换成五张椅子，对手也应该没办法那么准。"
Star rookie Andrew Wiggins scored a season-high 20 points and Corey Brewer
added 18 off the bench. Martin finished with three after going 0 for 6 from
the floor. He's averaged 7.7 on 27.3 percent shooting over a three-game
stretch after scoring 26.0 per game in his previous three.
超级新秀Andrew Wiggins得到本季新高的20分，替补登场的Corey Brewer
攻下18分。Martin投6中0只得到3分，他最近三场比赛只以27.3%的命中
率平均得到7.7分，在更前三场比赛他平均能得到26.0分。
Martin averaged 24.3 points as Minnesota took three of four from Dallas in
2013-14. However, another victory could be hard to come by with Kevin Love in
Cleveland. The All-Star forward averaged 31.0 points on 54.4 percent shooting
in last season's meetings.
Martin去年四次对上小牛平均能拿到24.3分，帮助灰狼拿下其中三胜，
不过在Kevin Love离队加入克里夫兰骑士之后，灰狼就很难复制这样的
表现了，因为Love在去年的对战中平均能拿到31.0分，命中率54.4%。
The Timberwolves are relatively healthy aside from point guard Ricky Rubio,
who remains out with an ankle injury. The Spaniard had 22 points, 10 rebounds
and 15 assists in a 123-122 overtime win at Dallas on March 19, Minnesota's
fourth win in five visits.
灰狼除了脚踝受伤的Ricky Rubio之外都还算健康，在两队上次于3月19
日在达拉斯的交手时，Rubio拿下22分10篮板15助攻，帮助灰狼在延长赛
以123-122险胜，最近五次作客达拉斯灰狼拿下四胜。
Forward Thaddeus Young didn't play Friday and will miss at least one more
game following the death of his mother. He's averaging 14.3 points in his
first season with the team.
灰狼前锋Thaddeus Young因为母亲过世，缺席了今天的比赛，预计至少
还会再缺席一场比赛。他本季加盟灰狼之后平均能拿到14.3分。
Dallas is averaging an NBA-best 107.1 points, including 112.6 at home. The
Mavericks are 4-1 on their own court while the Timberwolves are 1-4 on the
road. Minnesota is giving up 107.4 points per game to rank 27th in the league.
小牛的平均得分是NBA最佳的107.1分，主场的112.6分也在联盟居冠，
本季小牛的主场成绩是4胜1败，灰狼在客场则是1胜4败。灰狼本季的
平均失分是107.4分，排名联盟第27。
Monta Ellis has scored a combined 48 points in the last two home games
against the Timberwolves. Newcomer Chandler Parsons averaged 20.0 points over
four games against Minnesota last season while with Houston - tied for his
best mark against any opponent.
Monta Ellis在最近两次主场对上灰狼一共拿下48分，而新成员Chandler
Parsons则是在去年还在休士顿火箭时，四次对上灰狼平均拿下20.0分，
是他对上其他的对手的最佳成绩。
昨天赢53分的小牛对上今天输49分的灰狼 不知道会擦出什么火花XD
Let's Go Mavs!!
