Mavericks-Raptors Preview
It wasn't that hard to imagine the Dallas Mavericks being one of the NBA's
best offensive teams after adding Chandler Parsons and a pair of other
significant pieces in the offseason.
今年暑假，Chandler Parsons与其他球员加入了达拉斯小牛，大家都预期
小牛的火力会在联盟名前茅。
With a rotation that's largely unchanged, the Toronto Raptors' rise was a
little harder to see coming.
不过让人意外的是，阵容没有太大改变的多伦多暴龙也展现强大的攻击能
力，成为东区新贵。
The league's two highest-scoring teams meet north of the border Friday night
with the Raptors seeking their first seven-game winning streak since Vince
Carter's heyday.
东西区最会得分的两支球队明天将在加拿大交手，暴龙希望拿下自从Vince
Carter时代以来首度的七连胜。
Dallas (11-5) was eighth in points per game and fourth in field-goal
percentage last season, and after adding Parsons, Jameer Nelson and
reacquiring Tyson Chandler, it's no surprise to see Rick Carlisle's club
leading the league with 109.3 points per game.
11胜5败的小牛，上季的场均得分排联盟第八，命中率排第四，在休赛季迎
来Parsons、Jameer Nelson与Tyson Chandler之后，加上Rick Carlisle的
带领，小牛不意外的以场均109.3分排在联盟首位。
The Raptors' emergence as one of the NBA's best offenses is turning a few
more heads. Lou Williams was the only prominent addition to the top eight of
Toronto's rotation, but the reserve guard has been a big reason the Raptors
(13-2) have jumped from 13th in points per game (101.3) to second (108.0).
暴龙成为东区最强的火力倒是个惊奇，全队主要轮替阵容只多了替补的Lou
Williams一人，不过他的加入让暴龙从去年的联盟第13(101.3分)跃升至第
二(108.0分)，战绩也来到13胜2败。
Williams burned his former team for 22 points in 26 minutes Wednesday, making
him one of three Raptors with 20-plus in a 126-115 win at Atlanta. DeMar
DeRozan led the way with 27, the third player to lead Toronto in scoring in
as many games.
Williams昨天对上老东家，在26分钟之内就砍下22分，帮助暴龙以126-115
客场击败亚特兰大老鹰，暴龙全队有三人得分破20分，DeMar DeRozan拿到
全队最高的27分，最近三场比赛暴龙团队拿下最高得分的都是不同球员，
昨天更有七位球员得分达到双位数。
"Three nights in a row it's been somebody else stepping up," said Williams,
who's averaged 24.3 points in his last four games. "It just shows the depth
and the character of this team."
Williams说："这三场比赛都有不同的人跳出来，这展现了球队的深度。"
Williams最近四场比赛平均攻下24.3分。
The Raptors haven't won seven straight since a nine-game run March 22-April
9, 2002. Toronto won 11 of 12 late in that season, a franchise-best stretch
that was matched against the Hawks as seven Raptors scored in double figures.
暴龙自从2002年3月22日至4月9日的九连胜之后就没再连胜过七场以上，
暴龙在那季末一度在12场比赛当中赢了11场，是暴龙队史上最光荣的一
段时间，不过在昨天获胜之后，暴龙已经追平了当时的成就。
"That's what it's going to take to win," DeRozan said of Toronto's scoring
depth. "Honestly, that's what it's all about."
DeRozan谈到团队的深度，他说："这就是我们赢球的方法，说真的，就
是这样而已。"
Dallas also has a six-game winning streak this season, but it was in danger
of losing a third straight game Wednesday before rallying past New York
109-102 in overtime.
小牛这季一度也拿下过六连胜，不过昨天却差点吞下三连败，幸好在最
后还是以109-102在延长赛打败来访的纽约尼克。
Like Williams did against his former club for Toronto, Chandler came up big
against the Knicks. The Mavericks' big man had 17 points and 25 rebounds,
helping Dallas outscore New York 50-24 in the paint.
就像Williams上一场比赛痛打老东家，Chandler也在对上前东家尼克时
拿下17分25篮板，帮助小牛在禁区得分以50-24占上风。
Dirk Nowitzki had 30 points on 11-of-24 shooting, but he and Parsons combined
to go 2 for 16 from 3-point range. The Mavericks are shooting 20 percent from
beyond the arc in their last three games.
Dirk Nowitzki昨天投24中11拿下30分，不过他与Parsons在三分线外投
16中2，小牛最近三场比赛三分线外命中率只有20%。
"I mean, we're not playing really well right now. I think that's pretty
obvious," Nowitzki told the Mavericks' official website. "And we just had to
find a way to steal this one, really."
Dirk在球队官网访问说到："明显的，我们最近打得不好，我们只是刚好
找到方法捡到这一胜而已。"
The visit to Toronto is Dallas' first stop on a four-game trip, and there are
a few signs it might not be a pleasant one beyond the Raptors' 9-1 home
record and the potential absence of Nelson due to back spasms.
小牛即将开始东区客场四连战，第一站将来到多伦多，看到暴龙9胜1败的
主场战绩，Nelson或许也会因背部抽筋缺阵，可能很难让小牛有开门红的
机会。
The Mavericks have averaged 117.0 points in nine games against teams with
losing records, but that number falls to just 99.3 against those at .500 or
better. They've scored 94.7 points per game and shot 39.2 percent in their
last three road games against clubs with winning records.
小牛最近九次对上胜率不到五成的球队时，平均能攻下117.0分，不过对上
五成胜率以上的球队时，平均得分骤降到99.3分，尤其是最近三次客场对
上五成胜率以上球队时，平均只能得到94.7分，命中率39.2%。
Nowitzki is shooting 40.4 percent against winning teams and 59.8 percent
against sub-.500 clubs.
Dirk的状况也有很大的落差，对上五成胜率以上的球队命中率只有40.4%，
而对上胜率不到五成的球队命中率高达59.8%。
He's missed two of Dallas' last three against Toronto, all losses. Carlisle
opted to rest him during a busy stretch when the Mavericks visited Air Canada
Centre on Jan. 22, and they certainly could've used him. DeRozan had a
career-high 40 points in a 93-85 win.
Dirk在小牛最近三次对上暴龙时缺阵两场，不过小牛三场都输了，卡帅在
球队上次作客Air Canada Centre时选择让Dirk在艰困的赛程中休息一场，
最后在DeRozan拿下生涯最高的40分的表现下，暴龙以93-85险胜。
Toronto overcame deficits of at least 19 points in both victories against
Dallas last season.
上季暴龙横扫小牛的两场比赛中，都一度落后19分以上，最后演出逆转。
要打东区四连战了(两组B2B) 希望赶快把状况找回来啊!!
Let's Go Mavs!!
