Mavericks-Wizards Preview
A peak at the Southeast Division shows that Washington is off to a strong
start, but look a bit closer and it's tough to find an impressive victory on
the Wizards' resume.
东南组龙头华盛顿巫师开季成绩不错，不过仔细点看就会发现他们并没有
很令人印象深刻的胜利。
That could change Wednesday night.
他们明天有机会证明自己。
The Dallas Mavericks bring the league's best offense to Verizon Center, where
they'll look to spoil Washington's perfect home start with a fifth
consecutive victory overall and ninth straight in this series.
联盟进攻火力最强的达拉斯小牛将前往Verizon Center，迎战的是本季主场
全胜的巫师，小牛希望拿下五连胜，同时是对战的九连胜。
Washington (7-2) is one of only three Eastern Conference teams with seven
victories, but considering those wins have come against clubs with a
collective .368 winning percentage, it's still tough to gauge how good the
Wizards are.
东区只有3支球队胜场在7场以上，7胜2败的巫师是其中之一，不过考虑到他
们对手的平均胜率只有36.8%，这让大家怀疑巫师到底有多强。
They might have a better idea by the end of the week. Washington hosts
Cleveland on Friday, but first up is a visit from the Mavericks (8-3) and an
offense that's producing 109.3 points per game.
这周是巫师的一大考验，巫师明天出战8胜3败的小牛，小牛本季平均得分高达
109.3分，巫师之后还要在主场迎战克里夫兰骑士。
"They get up and down, and from a defensive standpoint we're gonna have to be
on our toes," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "There's a lot of different
weapons they have, a lot of different scenarios that pop out.
巫师总教练Randy Wittman说："他们攻击的点很多，防守上会让我们疲于奔
命，他们的进攻武器太多了，我们有很多情境要演练。"
"They're going to score. We've got to see if we can slow them down and
disrupt what they want to do. It's going to be a tall task for us."
"他们会不断得分，我们要试图把节奏慢下来，阻止他们的进攻，这不是
一件容易的事。"
It's a task the Mavericks' last three opponents, in particular, haven't been
up to. Dallas has topped 50 percent from the field and averaged 120.3 points
in that stretch, hanging 67 on the Hornets in the first half of Monday's
107-80 road win.
这项挑战是小牛的前三个对手无法做到的，小牛最近三场比赛命中率都破
五成，平均得120.3分，昨天上半场就得到67分，最后他们以107-80在客场
击败夏洛特黄蜂。
Dirk Nowitzki had 13 points in 25 minutes, the most he's had to play in the
past three victories. He's averaging just 27.5 minutes, and no player has
been on the floor for more than 31.6 per game so far as Dallas has won five
games by at least 14 points - albeit all against teams well below .500.
Dirk Nowitzki昨天上场25分钟得到13分，这是他三场比赛以来上场最久的
一次，他本季平均只上场27.5分钟，小牛球员本季平均上场时间都不到31.6
分钟，因为他们已经有5次赢对手至少14分，尽管这些球队的胜率都远低于
五成。
"We're a tough team," Nowitzki told the Mavericks' official website after
joining Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan as the only players to
score 27,000 points with one franchise. "I mean, we still have a long way to
go this season, but we like where we're headed. Obviously, we've got to get
better as the competition gets better, but (Monday) was a good road win for
us."
Dirk加入Karl Malone、Kobe Bryant与Michael Jordan，成为单队得分达到
27000分的第四人，他在球队官网访问时说到："我们不好对付，我是说，球
季还很长，但是我们正朝着正确的方向前进。显然，之后的比赛会越来越难
打，但是昨天的客场胜利还是对我们很有帮助。"
Lately, Dallas has been sharing the basketball and taking good care of it,
topping 30 assists in each of its last three while posting single digits in
turnovers in the previous two to bolster a plus-7.7 turnover differential
that's the best in the league.
小牛最近的球权传导顺利，最近三场比赛都传出至少30次助攻，而且近两
场失误次数只有个位数字，他们单场平均比对手少失误7.7次，是联盟最佳
成绩。
The Mavericks' bench has averaged 50.3 points in the past three contests.
小牛的板凳最近三场比赛平均得到50.3分。
"Look, we've got to have balance. It all can't come from one guy," coach Rick
Carlisle said. "We can't put the whole game on Dirk's shoulders or Monta
(Ellis') shoulders or anything like that. The ball has got to move, so we did
a lot of good things."
小牛教练Rick Carlisle说："我们希望做到平均的火力，我们不能总是让
Dirk、Monta Ellis或其他少数人扛起胜败的责任。球必须要转移，我们
在这点上做得很好。"
The Wizards might get Bradley Beal back later this week - he returned to
practice Monday - but for now their depth is coming up big as well.
Washington's bench has outscored the opposition's 172-96 over the last four
games, with the reserves hitting 22 of 34 (64.7 percent) from the field in
Saturday's 98-93 win over Orlando.
巫师的Bradley Beal这几天有望归队，他昨天加入了练习，不过现在巫师
的板凳表现也很好，最近四场比赛在板凳上以172-96压倒对手，昨天巫师
的板凳投34中22，命中率64.7%，帮助他们以98-93击败奥兰多魔术。
Only John Wall has topped the 30-minute mark in the last two games as the
Wizards have improved to 4-0 at home.
巫师最近两场比赛只有John Wall的上场时间超过30分钟，而巫师的主场成
绩是4胜0败。
"When your second unit's giving you 48 (points), you can give guys rest,"
Wittman said. "If a group's out there playing well, they're going to stay out
there."
Wittman说："当板凳能给你48分的火力时，主将就可以好好休息了，球员如
果在场上打得好，我就会持续把它们摆在场上"
The Dallas bench outscored Washington's 66-35 in last season's two meetings,
helping extend the Mavs' series winning streak to eight despite Nowitzki's
11-of-33 shooting.
小牛上季两次对上巫师时，板凳以66-35占优势，弥补了这两场Dirk投33中11
的表现，延续了小牛对战巫师的连胜。
巫师本季打得蛮不错的 不过还是希望小牛拿下两场客场胜利后凯旋回家~
Let's Go Mavs!!
