Mavericks-Thunder Preview
With the way this testy series against the Dallas Mavericks has gone, Kevin
Durant is due for a good night and the Oklahoma City Thunder are in line for
a blowout win.
Kevin Durant率领的奥克拉荷马雷霆在对上达拉斯小牛的第四战中,再次取得
大幅度的领先,看来又是个美好的夜晚。
After his ejection from Game 4, Durant probably wants his game to do the
talking.
但在比赛终了前KD遭到驱逐出场,他或许会希望在第五战用表现来说话。
The Thunder have to agree and can send the Mavericks packing for the
offseason when they return home for Game 5 on Monday night.
雷霆明天有机会在主场送小牛放暑假。
Durant has been inconsistent from game to game with his good nights coming in
Games 1 and 3. He shot a combined 18 of 40 for 28.5 points per game in those
contests, while going 14 of 53 and averaging 20 in the other two.
KD在这个系列赛的表现并不稳定,在第一战与第三战他打得不错,投40中18,
平均得到28.5分,不过在另外两场仅投53中14,平均20分。
The All-Star's better performances resulted in wins of 38 and 29 points, so
another bounce-back night will go a long way toward propelling Oklahoma City
into the second round. The disparity in his effective field-goal percentages
is eye-opening: 51.3 in Games 1 and 3 compared to 29.2 in 2 and 4.
在Durant表现较好的第一战与第三战中,雷霆各赢了38分与29分,所以明天
雷霆可以期待KD的反弹能带领雷霆挺进第二轮,KD的eFG差异更大,在一三两
战是51.3%,二四战则是29.2%。
Dallas has tried to slow the tempo with little success except for its 85-84
victory in Game 2, and the hard-nosed nature of the series culminated in some
shoving, jawing, a few technical fouls and finally Durant being tossed for
committing a flagrant in the final minute of Saturday's 119-108 win in Game 4.
小牛试图将节奏放慢,但仅在第二战收到成效,以85-84取胜。雷霆在系列赛
多次出拐、推挤,让他们吃到一些技术犯规,Durant因为恶性犯规在第四战
的倒数阶段遭到驱逐出场,雷霆最后以119-108胜出。
Durant was fined $15,000 for the flagrant and teammate Russell Westbrook was
penalized $25,000 on Sunday for directing inappropriate language at a fan
after he was fouled by Salah Mejri on a drive to the basket.
KD因此收到15000元的罚款,队友Russell Westbrook则是因为一次切入遭到
小牛中锋Salah Mejri犯规之后对球迷有不当的言语,遭罚25000元。
"We're going to do some talking. We're going to do some shoving here and
there because that's how competitive both teams are," said Durant, who was
ejected for swinging his arm across guard Justin Anderson's head.
Durant因为用手甩到Justin Anderson的头被驱逐出场,他说:"我们会讲一
些垃圾话、推挤,因为两队的求胜心都很旺盛。"
Despite his up-and-down play, the Thunder have shown they don't need Durant
to light up the Mavericks to win. Westbrook played well in the two games in
Dallas, averaging 25.5 points and 15 assists, and reserve center Enes Kanter
was sensational with 24.5 per game on 90
