The Dallas Mavericks continue to be an offensive juggernaut, though they've
been significantly better at home than on the road.
達拉斯小牛希望延續他們恐怖的進攻火力，儘管他們在主場與客場的表現
的差距不小。
They'll look to bring their scoring prowess with them Monday night when they
visit the Charlotte Bobcats.
明天他們將作客夏洛特黃蜂(原文誤植為山貓)主場，希望能維持最近的進
攻水準。
The Mavericks (7-3) are hitting the road for two games following a 3-1
homestand. They shot 42.2 percent in a 105-96 loss to Miami on Nov. 9, their
first home defeat. In three games since, they've shot 51.6 percent while
averaging 120.0 points, including their largest win ever Thursday - 123-70
over Philadelphia.
7勝3敗的小牛在結束了3勝1敗的主場連戰之後，明天將開始客場之旅。他

123-70大勝費城76人。
Saturday's 131-117 victory over Minnesota marked Dallas' most points since a
140-116 win over Phoenix on April 5, 2009.
昨天他們又以131-117擊敗明尼蘇達灰狼，這是小牛自從2009年4月5日在主
場以140-116擊敗鳳凰城太陽之後的單場最高得分。
"We started off rough with the loss against Miami, but we took care of our
business after that and protected the home court before we're going to hit
the road again for some tough games," Dirk Nowitzki, who is shooting a
career-high 55.9 percent, told the team's official website.
Dirk Nowitzki目前的命中率是生涯最佳的55.9%，他在球隊官網上說："我
們在主場連戰的第一場沒打好，不過還好我們後來捍衛主場成功，接下來
還有困難的客場比賽有打。"
Monta Ellis scored a season-high 30 to finish as one of eight Mavericks with
at least 10 points. Four players recorded at least five assists as the team
shot 55.3 percent.
Monta Ellis昨天得到本季最高的30分，小牛有8位隊員得分到達雙位數，
四位球員至少傳出5次助攻，團隊命中率高達55.3%。
"That's our game," Ellis said. "That's how we should play the whole season.
We shouldn't run many plays, just get out, run, flow, pass, cut and find the
open guy."
Ellis說："這就是我們的風格，這是我們整季該打出來的比賽，我們不需
要多餘的戰術，就是上場跑動、傳球、切入、找到空檔隊友而已。"
While Dallas is averaging 115.7 points on 51.0 percent shooting in six home
games, it is at 100.3 points per game and shooting 46.1 percent in going 2-2
on the road.
小牛本季六場主場比賽平均攻下115.7分，命中率51.0%，不過他們在客場
只能平均拿到100.3分，命中率46.1%，戰績2勝2敗。
The Mavericks have been held in check lately by Charlotte, averaging 91.7
points on 42.0 percent shooting while dropping two of the last three
meetings. They had shot 47.1 percent while averaging 100.8 points in winning
the previous 21 matchups.
小牛最近對上黃蜂(前山貓)都受到對手的壓制，最近三次交手輸了兩次，
平均只能得到91.7分，命中率42.0%。在隊史前21次對戰的紀錄中，小牛
平均拿下100.8分，命中率47.1%，拿下前21次交手的全勝。
Charlotte was one of the league's top defensive teams last season, limiting
opponents to 97.1 points per game. However, the Hornets (4-6) are allowing
107.0 points per game over their last five. They let Golden State hit 51.7
percent of its shots in Saturday's 112-87 defeat - already the third time
they've allowed a team to shoot 50.0 percent or better.
黃蜂上季是聯盟最佳的防守球隊之一，讓對手平均只有97.1分，不過本
季他們的戰績只有4勝6敗，最近五場比賽平均要掉107.0分。昨天他們讓
金州勇士的命中率來到51.7%，導致球隊最後以87-112輸球，本季他們已
經有三次讓對手的命中率在五成以上了。
Charlotte, which was coming off its first road win a night earlier in
Phoenix, allowed opponents to shoot 50.0 percent or better 12 times in
2013-14 and is on pace to do so twice as many times.
黃蜂不久前才在鳳凰城拿下本季的客場首勝，去年他們只有12場比賽讓
對手的命中率在五成以上，而照這個步調，他們將會超過去年的兩倍。
"There are only a few teams in the league that can get hot like that," said
Al Jefferson, who scored a team-high 19. "We played two of them back-to-back.
They just make you pay on every mistake."
Al Jefferson昨天拿到全隊最高的19分，他說："聯盟中進攻這麼強的對
手不多，而我們在連續兩天碰到這樣的對手，他們讓我們的每次失誤付出
代價。"
While the Hornets are coming off a 1-3 trip, they've been much more stout in
going 3-1 at home, allowing 96.3 points per game.
黃蜂雖然最近一波客場只有1勝3敗，但本季他們在主場拿下3勝1敗，平均
每場只失96.3分。
Jefferson has also played better at home, averaging 23.8 points compared to
19.8 on the road.
Jefferson在主場也打得比較好，平均能得到23.8分，而客場平均只有19.8
分。
Charlotte is dealing with a number of injuries, though. Kemba Walker (back),
Lance Stephenson (groin) and Marvin Williams (knee) all played through their
ailments against the Warriors. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (foot) missed a second
straight game while Gary Neal left after suffering a concussion in the first
half.
黃蜂本季飽受傷兵困擾，Kemba Walker背部有傷，Lance Stephenson鼠蹊部
有傷，Marvin Williams的膝蓋也不太舒服，不過他們在對上勇士時都帶傷
上陣。Michael Kidd-Gilchrist已經因為腳受傷連續缺席了兩場，Gary Neal
則是在上半場就因為腦震盪離場。
Nowitzki's 24.7 career scoring average versus Charlotte is his second-highest
against one team, trailing only his 26.3 mark against Boston.
Dirk對上山貓平均每場能攻下24.7分，是他生涯對上任何球隊的次高紀錄，
最高的是對上波士頓塞爾提克的26.3分。
