[外電]Bell a surprise starter as Suns rout …
PHOENIX (AP) -- Raja Bell is back, and so are the Phoenix Suns in the Western
Conference finals.
Bell supplied the grit with a surprise start despite a slightly torn calf
muscle, and his teammates took care of the offense in a 106-86 rout of the
Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.
"Well, I guess we're not done yet," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said.
Tied at two games apiece, the series returns to Dallas for Game 5 on Thursday
night.
Leandro Barbosa, coming off a poor performance as a starter in place of Bell in
the Suns' Game 3 loss, scored 24 points on 10-for-13 shooting.
Boris Diaw added 20 points, including two emphatic fourth-quarter dunks that
helped the Suns build a 25-point lead.
前面是在說BELL歸陣對於太陽隊的影響很大 然後其他隊員也有很好的表現 所以
太陽隊輕取了小牛隊 避免了1-3的落後 站成了2-2的平手
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve Nash had 21 points and seven assists, and Shawn Marion scored 15 points.
Bell had missed the past two games with a slight tear in his left calf, and all
indications had been that he would sit out this one, too.
"I've been to war all season with these guys," Bell told TNT at halftime. "I
wasn't going to watch tonight."
He had only nine points but gave Phoenix some much-needed intensity in 32
minutes of play.
接下來是BELL自己發出的言論 他說不想要在坐在板凳上看著一起奮鬥了一個球季的隊友
在場上奮鬥 自己卻因為受傷坐在板凳上 所以他上場了 雖然只得到9分 不過精神上的
分數比實質上的分數多上許多
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Half our team is a bunch of quiet guys," Nash said. "He gives us another guy
that opens his mouth once in a while, gives us some toughness, some bravado. I
can't say enough about how much his personality means to our team."
"我們隊上有一半的人都是相當沉穩的人" NASH說 "但是BELL他給了我們一種堅持的力量
他對我們隊上的意義真的非常重大阿 用言語無法形容的"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D'Antoni called Bell "a team guy. He's never asked for anything. He's been a
team guy. He just plays hard every night. And, you know, to be able to coach a
guy like that is precious."
Dirk Nowitzki managed only 11 points for the Mavericks on 3-for-13 shooting,
breaking a string of 42 games when he's scored at least 20 points.
It was his lowest-scoring game all season and the first time he's scored fewer
than 25 points in the Mavs' eight games against Phoenix this season.
"We turned the ball over way too many times, especially early," Nowitzki said,
"and we made mistakes all over the place."
Josh Howard led the Mavericks with 16 but left with an apparent shin injury
with 5:47 to play. Dallas coach Avery Johnson said afterward that "Josh is
fine."
It was a rough night all the way around for Dallas.
Johnson drew a technical foul early. His wife, Cassandra, got into a
nose-to-nose argument with a fan, with Mavericks owner Mark Cuban coming to her
defense. Security personnel escorted the fan away.
"You know, I can point to a lot of things that were very disgraceful about the
game," Johnson said, "but we lost."
He would not elaborate.
是說Nowitzki今天的表現非常的不好 中斷了他連續42場得分在20分以上的紀錄 他今天
只得了11分 另外 小牛的球員HOWARD又好像有點受傷 不過並無大礙 小牛教頭Avery
Johnson今天還領了一個T 因為他老婆跟一位太陽球迷起了衝突
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Mavericks said Barbosa, rather than Bell, was the biggest factor.
"He was a tough little guy today, and we've got to make sure we handle him a
lot better next time," Nowitzki said.
Phoenix never trailed after the first quarter. The Mavericks stayed close,
despite the shooting woes of Nowitzki, until the Suns blew it open with a 20-4
outburst at the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth.
Jason Terry's second 3-pointer of the quarter cut the Suns' lead to 67-65 with
3:49 to play in the third. But Dallas went cold and the Suns finished the
quarter with a 12-2 run. Five Phoenix players scored in the surge, capped by
Marion's stuff with 37 seconds to go that put the Suns ahead 79-67 entering the
fourth quarter.
Diaw dunked over Nowitzki for a three-point play to start the fourth quarter to
make it 82-67. Another dunk by Diaw ended the surge and put Phoenix firmly in
control for good, 87-69, with 10:14 to play.
The Suns shot 54 percent, including 7-of-15 on 3-pointers, compared with 42
percent for the Mavericks.
Terry and Adrian Griffin added 13 points apiece for Dallas, which regained the
home-court advantage in the series with its 95-88 victory Tuesday night in
Phoenix.
With a chance to go up 3-1, then close it out at home, the Mavericks fell flat.
For the first half, though, they weren't in bad shape, despite some awful
statistics.
The Suns shot 59 percent, Nowitzki was 1-for-7 and Terry 1-for-5, and still the
Mavericks were down only 51-46 at the break.
Consecutive driving layups by Barbosa put Phoenix ahead 49-40 with 3:24 left in
the half. Howard converted a three-point play, Terry dunked from the baseline,
then made one of two free throws to cut it to 49-46 with 32 seconds left before
the half.
Nash made a 12-footer, then Nowitzki missed a jumper at the halftime buzzer and
Phoenix led 51-46.
最後面是說 小牛隊認為BARBOSA才是最重要 打垮他們的人 接著就是一些關鍵進球
使得太陽隊雖然被小牛隊追近 不過依舊超越不了 NASH在上半場結束前射近了12呎的跳投
而且德國司機MISS掉了鐘響前的最後一球 結果太陽在上半場取得51-46超前
