Mavericks-Rockets Preview The Dallas Mavericks proved too proud to suffer a four-game sweep against one of their in-state rivals, though a cold shooting night from the Houston Rockets certainly helped. 達拉斯小牛絕對不會甘於被同城世仇給橫掃，不過休士頓火箭低迷的命中率也是小牛的扳回一成的原因之一。 Whether that desperation can carry the Mavericks through another elimination game may again depend on how much they can slow the Rockets' prolific outside attack Tuesday night. 小牛繼續面對背水一戰，如果他們系列賽想走得更遠，就要看他們能不能擋下火箭強悍的外線火力。 Houston went just 2 for 21 from 3-point range through the first three quarters in Game 4 on Sunday and finished 7 for 31. Josh Smith knocked down four 3s in the final 12 minutes to slightly pad the Rockets' poor performance (22.6 percent), which ranked as their eighth-worst this season. 火箭昨天前三節的三分球投21中2，最後投31中7。多虧Josh Smith在最後一節砍進4個三分球，才幫助火箭把三分命中率拉抬到22.6%，這是火箭本季單場三分命中率第八低的紀錄。 "We have to be better on both ends of the floor," James Harden said. "Credit to them, they did a great job of pressuring the ball, but overall we have to be better at doing what we're supposed to do." James Harden說："我們得在攻守兩端打得更好，他們的壓迫防守做得很好，但總之我們要打得更好，打出應有的水準。" Harden was 5 for 7 from behind the arc for Houston in Game 3 but has otherwise shot just 3 for 16 in this series, while Trevor Ariza is hitting at a 26.7 percent clip. The two shooters tied for third league-wide with 555 attempted 3-pointers this season for a Houston team that launched 32.7 per game -- the highest average in NBA history. Harden在第三戰的三分球投7中5，但其他三戰他投16只中3，Trevor Ariza 的命中率也僅有26.7%。這兩人在本季一共出手了555次三分，是聯盟中單隊雙人組合的第三高出手次數，火箭本季平均出手32.7次三分，是史上單季平均最高的紀錄。 Although that proficiency did not surface in Game 4, the Rockets' MVP candidate does not expect to alter the gameplan as the series shifts back to Houston. "We shoot 3s," Harden said. "That's what we do." 儘管昨天他們的表現失常，但MVP候選人之一的Harden說球隊的攻擊計畫不會有任何的改變。他說："我們會繼續投三分，這是我們的球風。" Coach Kevin McHale credited the loss not to his team's poor shooting, but instead to Dallas' urgency. The Mavericks outrebounded the Rockets 52-38 and had 16 offensive boards, their most since Feb. 7. 火箭教練Kevin McHale不把輸球的責任歸咎於球隊的命中率，反倒是提到小牛對贏球的迫切感。小牛在籃板上以52-38大幅領先，並且抓下16個進攻籃板，是自從2月7日以來的單場最多紀錄。 "They played harder than us," McHale said. "They beat us on the boards bad. They pushed it down on us. Our coverages were really loose, and they just played harder than we did. That's the bottom line, they played with more desperation." McHale說："他們打得比我們更努力，在籃板上痛擊我們，他們不斷對我們施加壓力，而我們打得較為鬆散，他們展現出更多的決心。" Six players scored in double figures for the Mavericks. Monta Ellis led the way with 31 points, while Al-Farouq Aminu (16 points, 12 rebounds) and Tyson Chandler (10 points, 14 rebounds) each recorded double-doubles. 昨天小牛有六位球員得分到達雙位數，最高是Monta Ellis的31分，另外Al- Farouq Aminu拿到16分12籃板，Tyson Chandler則是有10分14籃板的雙十表現。 J.J. Barea also filled the statsheet with 17 points and 13 assists during his first postseason start since the 2011 NBA Finals. He provided a much-needed boost to the Mavericks' backcourt given the absence of Rajon Rondo, who has essentially been dismissed from the team by coach Rick Carlisle. J.J. Barea昨天擔任自從2011年總冠軍戰之後的首度季後賽先發，拿下17分 13助攻的優異表現。成為小牛在缺少Rajon Rondo之後的一劑強心針，Rondo 已經被教練Rick Carlisle排出在上場名單之外。 Carlisle, who filled his Game 3 postgame press conference with criticisms of the officials -- and jokingly taped his mouth shut Sunday to avoid another sizable fine -- instead spent Game 4's media session heaping praise on Barea. 卡帥第三戰賽後因為抱怨判罰而被罰款，昨天他很搞笑的在媒體提問時拿出膠帶貼住嘴巴，以免再被罰款。他也在記者會中大力讚揚了Barea的表現。 "He's always a guy that's going to battle," Carlisle told the Mavericks' official website. "He's relished playoff opportunities. That's been the pattern of his career. He's played big for us a lot while he's been here. I just think that's how he's wired and how he approaches it." 卡帥在球隊官網訪問說到："他是個戰士，他喜愛季後賽的機會，這是他生涯中一貫的模式，他之前曾經在季後賽大放異彩，我想這次他也會用相同的態度來面對。" Dallas has dropped its last four visits to Houston, including Games 1 and 2, and last won a road playoff game against the Rockets on April 30, 2005. 小牛這個系列賽的兩場客場，也就是第一戰與第二戰，都敗給了火箭。上次小牛在季後賽的客場擊敗火箭，要追溯到2005年的4月30號了(G4)。 Houston has won only one playoff series since advancing to the Western Conference finals in 1997, and bowed out in the first round each of the past two years under McHale. 火箭自從1997年打進西區決賽之後只贏過一個系列賽，而且近兩年都在第一輪鎩羽而歸。 Dirk Nowitzki struggled in his last trip to Houston, scoring only 10 points in Game 2's 111-99 defeat. The performance marked Nowitzki's fourth-lowest point total in 139 postseason games. He shot 7 of 14 for 16 points and added eight rebounds Sunday. Dirk Nowitzki在上次作客火箭時狀況低迷，只攻下10分，小牛以99-111輸了第三戰。10分是Dirk在生涯139場季後賽當中的最低紀錄，他昨天投14中7拿下16分8籃板。一場一場慢慢打吧希望繼續把戰線延長到達拉斯!!
