http://0rz.tw/ca2gN 比賽過程就不翻了 Denver is not able to stop Dallas despite absence of Nowitzki By Chris Tomasson, Rocky Mountain News December 31, 2006 Dallas, despite star forward Dirk Nowitzki being sidelined with a sinus infection, defeated the Nuggets 89-85 Sunday night at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets also were depleted. But the Mavericks were the stronger team down the stretch, overcoming a 69-63 deficit at the end of the third quarter for their 10th straight win. The win enabled Dallas coach Avery Johnson to become the fastest coach in NBA history to reach 100 wins. Johnson is 100-31, while Red Auerbach began 100-35. 這場勝利讓小牛隊教練，小將軍成為史上最快拿到100勝的教練。他的100勝31敗的紀錄打破了紅頭Auerbach的100勝35敗。 Nuggets guard Allen Iverson did all he could for the Nuggets. In 42 minutes, he had 28 points, eight assists and seven steals. AI盡了他的全力，上場42分鐘，拿下28分，送出8次助攻外帶7次抄截。 When guard Devin Harris made a layup with 2:17 left in the game, it gave the Mavericks an 83-82 lead. That was their first lead since the first quarter. Dallas then got two free throws by center Erick Dampier and two by Josh Howard, who scored 28 points. The Nuggets never got closer than three the rest of the way. The Mavericks (24-7) also were without guard Jerry Stackhouse, who did not make the trip because of a sprained ankle. For the Nuggets (16-12), sitting out because of suspensions were forward Carmelo Anthony and guard J.R. Smith, and forward Nene missed his third straight game because of a sore right knee. But the Nuggets did get back center Marcus Camby after he had missed four games with a broken right ring finger. Camby, who wore padding on his hand, grabbed 13 rebounds in 31 minutes. He looked a bit rusty on offense, shooting 5-of-15 for 13 points, but the Nuggets were able to get offense from Iverson and guard Earl Boykins, who scored 20 points. Camby的手上還帶著護具，在31分鐘內抓下13個籃板。不過在進攻端看起來有點生疏投15中5拿下13分。 Iverson's importance to the Nuggets was shown after he picked up his third foul with 8:43 left in the first half. Rather than have Iverson sit out the rest of the half, Nuggets coach George Karl reinserted him with 4:48 left. 第二節剩8分43秒時AI3犯，Karl讓他下去。不過不到4分鐘又被換上來。他對金塊的重要性由此可見。 With the Nuggets leading 36-34, Iverson keyed a spurt that put them up 45-37. He then returned to the bench with 2:02 left in the half. The Nuggets led 50-44 at halftime and extended the lead to 54-44 early in the third. But the Mavericks mounted a comeback, cutting the deficit to one on two occasions late in the quarter. The Mavericks got 17 rebounds from Howard. Guard Jason Terry scored 21 points. Camby was injured Dec. 18 against Washington. He said Nene being out for a third straight game put "a lot of pressure" on him to play. Camby在12月18對上巫師時受傷。他說Nene的連續缺賽讓他覺得自己有上場比賽的壓力。 (別勉強自己啊~) Karl expects Nene to return Tuesday against Philadelphia. Nene declined to comment. Karl預計Nene在星期二隊上七六人時可以回來。Nene本人不予置評(這...) The Mavericks looked at the start as if they would make quick work of the Nuggets. They took leads of 13-6 and 20-11. But the Nuggets scored the final 13 points of the first quarter and the first two of the second to take a 26-20 lead. Sunday marked the final day NBA teams used a synthetic basketball, with the NBA going back to the old leather ball today. The Nuggets have about 24 leather balls in stock and will have about 50 by the end of January. 星期日，NBA最後一天使用人工皮籃球的日子，今天起就會開始使用舊的真皮籃球。金塊在倉庫裡有24顆舊球，一月結束前會增加到50顆。 Denver's first game with the old leather ball will be Tuesday. That also will mark Iverson's first game against the 76ers, who traded him Dec. 19 to Denver. 星期二是金塊隊第一次用舊球比賽。這也是AI第一次對上老東家(爆發吧!!!) ETC.: Nuggets officials plan to watch guard Julius Hodge play Wednesday for the NBDL's Colorado 14ers. After that, more will be known when Hodge might be called up . . . Players can start signing 10-day contracts Friday. Unless the team has another injury, the Nuggets have no immediate plans to sign a player . . . Dallas guard Greg Buckner, who played the previous two seasons with the Nuggets before leaving as a free agent, returned to the Pepsi Center. "I knew I was going into a good situation and we had a chance to win a championship," said Buckner, who greeted many of Denver's players before the game . . . While most Denver players recently had been shooting with both the synthetic and leather balls, Anthony and Smith have been shooting almost exclusively the past two weeks with leather. Anthony and Smith have known they wouldn't play another game with the synthetic ball . . . Dallas forward Devean George, who played with Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant on the Lakers, believes an Iverson-Anthony tandem can work. "It's something that I'm going to tune into and see how it's going to work out," he said. "The way they play, I think there's enough balls go to around." 雜事 1.金塊官方預定星期三去看Hodge在NBDL的比賽，評估他什麼時候可以回到NBA。 2.星期五開始球員可以開始簽10天短約，除非再有人受傷，金塊沒有簽人的打算。 3.前金塊球員Greg Buckner今天回到Pepsi Center。他說:我只到我的情況很好，還有拿冠軍的機會。(哼!我們也有~)他在比賽前問候了許多過去的隊友。 4.大部分的球員最近都同時用新球和舊球練習。不過甜瓜和JR兩人只用舊球，他們知道新球已經沒用了。(偷偷練準一點吧!) 5.蟾蜍，一個曾經和歐肥還有Kobe同隊的球員，他認為AI-甜瓜兩人組將會是個好的組合。"我想看看這個組合會打得多好""以他們打球的方式，我想球應該夠他們投吧" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.160.247.143 ※ 編輯: ignisfatuus 來自: 218.160.247.143 (01/01 17:51)
