Trail Blazers-Mavericks Preview DALLAS (AP) As the highest-seeded Western Conference team to win its playoff opener, the Dallas Mavericks should be feeling pretty good about themselves. 作為西區首戰獲勝的最高種子球隊，小牛應該可以自我感覺良好。 They don't. 才怪。 Sure, the Mavs are happy to be up 1-0 on the Portland Trail Blazers going into Game 2 on Tuesday night, and happier still to have won with their defense. But they also remember what happened last year, when they got giddy about winning a grind-it-out opener at home against San Antonio. Dallas got smacked around in Game 2 and wound up also losing Games 3 and 4 on the way to being eliminated in six games. 肯定的是小牛樂於取得1-0的領先，明天第二戰繼續迎戰波特蘭拓荒者，更讓小牛高興的是他們靠著防守贏球。但他們也記得去年發生什麼事，當大家對於主場第一戰拿下聖安東尼奧馬刺而沾沾自喜時，第二戰小牛遭到馬刺重擊，接著在三四兩戰皆落敗，導致第六戰打完就放暑假的命運。 "They really came out smoking in Game 2 and were all over us," Mavs star Dirk Nowitzki said Monday. "They were just more ready, I felt like, and then we had to react, and it was kind of too late. That's what the Blazers are going to do tomorrow, they're going to leave it all out there. We've got to be ready for the first hit and be aggressive also, and just go from there." Dirk今天說到："他們真的來勢洶洶，我覺得他們準備妥善，然後我們必須調整，但是來不及了。這會是明天拓荒者想做的，他們會使出渾身解數。我們必須承受住他們開賽的攻勢，並且同樣保持侵略性，從那裡做起。" Last year's Game 2 meltdown was no isolated incident. It continued a trend that stretches back to the high point in franchise history, when Dallas took a 2-0 lead on Miami in the 2006 NBA finals. The Mavs followed that win with a loss and eventually lost the series. Starting there, they've followed eight of their last 10 postseason victories with a loss. Both exceptions came in a 2009 first-round series against the Spurs, which happens to be the only series they've won since reaching the '06 finals. 去年的第二戰不只是單一的事件，這可以回溯的當年小牛在2006年聲勢正好，總冠軍戰以2-0領先熱火，接下來卻沒有再贏得一勝。在那之後小牛在10場季後賽裡輸了八場(熱火+勇士)，唯一的意外出現在2009年季後賽第一輪，那是小牛自從06年決賽之後唯一贏過的系列賽。 It's a bad habit they know they have to break. "It starts in practice," said guard Jason Terry, who along with Nowitzki are the only players left from the '06 club. "If you've watched us the last two days, we're treating this as Game 1 all over again. I mean, we came in, we prepared, we went at each other hard. Everybody was pretty in-tune about the game plan. It's all about focusing in on the task. Nothing else matters." 對他們來說休息是個壞習慣。後衛Jason Terry說："一切從練習開始，如果你有看我們這兩天的練習，我們依然把明天當作第一戰。我是說，我們有備而來，彼此砥礪，大家對於比賽的戰術很熟悉。我們無論如何只想著完成任務。"Jet 與Dirk是06年到現在小牛僅存沒轉隊的球員。 A lot of strange things happened in the opener of this series, from Dallas' Jason Kidd scoring 24 points - three more than he had in any game this season - to Portland center Marcus Camby having more assists than Kidd. 兩隊的第一戰發生很多怪事，Jason Kidd攻下24分，比他本季對上拓荒者的四場總和還多3分。還有拓荒者中鋒Marcus Camby的助攻居然比Kidd還多。 Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan found it especially curious that the Mavericks took 29 free throws while his team took only 13. The disparity was even more mind-boggling considering Dallas scored only one basket in the paint in the second half. He voiced his complaints about the officiating, and on Monday was fined $35,000 by the league office. McMillan also was perturbed by his club's wayward 3-point shooting (2 of 16) and the poor production from Gerald Wallace (4 of 13, eight points) and Brandon Roy (1 of 7, two points). 拓荒者總教練Nate McMillan對於小牛獲得29次罰球，但他們只有13次站上罰球線相當好奇。這樣的不平等讓他覺得很困惑，因為小牛在下半場只在禁區裡投進1球。他抱怨裁判的判決，因此今天他收到聯盟送他一張35000美金的罰單。讓他同樣感到困擾的是，他們在三分線外投16只中2，以及Gerald Wallace投13 中4得到8分、Brandon Roy投7中1攻下2分的糟糕表現。 "For the most part, we had open looks," McMillan said. "We're going to get open looks the way their defense plays. We've got to knock those shots down." The Blazers lost out on hustle plays, too, things that don't always show up in the stat sheet but are glaring on tape. That tape was rolling before they hit the practice court Monday. McMillan說："大部分的時間裡我們有製造出空檔，我們依舊要應對他們的防守製造空檔，而我們必須把球投進。"拓荒者在一些hustle play也居下風，這不會在數據中顯現，但在影片中看的出來，今天練習之前他們把錄影帶看過一遍。 "It just looked like they wanted it more than we did," McMillan said. "Those are plays that you must make in playoff games to give yourself a chance to win." The flip side to all this is that despite doing so many things wrong, Portland was within a basket in the final minutes and only lost 89-81. The Blazers figure that if they can clean up even only a few of these trouble spots then they can be headed home with a split. McMillan說："看起來他們比我們積極的多，這些play會讓你在季後賽有更大的機會贏得勝利。"儘管他們犯下不少錯誤，拓荒者在最後關頭只有一球之差，終場只以81-89小輸8分。他們認為只要改善上面的一些缺點，就可以把系列賽扳平回家去。 For Blazers star LaMarcus Aldridge, Dallas actually is home. He went to his mom's place for a home-cooked meal Sunday night, and has enjoyed being around friends and family. It certainly hasn't detracted from his focus because he scored 27 points in the opener. He also helped pester Nowitzki into making only 7 of 20 shots, a ratio Portland would gladly take again. "Being at home hasn't really been an issue for LaMarcus," McMillan said. "He's focused on what he needs to do." 對LaMarcus Aldridge這位拓荒者球星來說，達拉斯其實才是他的家。他在前天晚上回媽媽家吃飯，與朋友和家人相處融洽。這對他的專注毫無減損，他在第一戰攻下27分，整場比賽也一直糾纏著Dirk，讓他投20只中7，這是拓荒者希望看到的數字。McMillan又說(你話超多)："在家鄉出賽對他不是什麼問題，他只專心在他該做的事上面。" 小牛在第一戰的表現真的很讓人激賞拼勁十足啊!! Kidd就算不能像第一場那麼猛但空檔的球還是要把握住這樣對手的防守壓力就會大很多了!! Jet跟JJB也會更有好機會出手記得系列賽要贏四場才算贏啊 Let's Go Mavs!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.166.208
