LOS ANGELES – A remarkable trend is developing for the Mavericks. Whenever
Dirk Nowitzki is missing, Josh Howard becomes otherworldly.

一個很神奇的事在小牛隊流行,就是當Dirk缺席時Josh Howard就會爆走。


It happened again Sunday as Howard was the chairman of the committee that
took up the slack left by Nowitzki's absence and led the Mavericks to a 98-76
demolition of the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center. It put a positive
cap on a 2-1 trip that gave the Mavericks 10 road wins. Nobody has more in
the Western Conference.

這星期日的比賽又發生了,當Dirk缺席時Josh跳出來主導比賽,帶領小牛以98比76擊敗
快艇隊。這場比賽帶領小牛拿下第10場客場勝,西區其他隊沒人比小牛客場比賽勝的多。


Howard had 29 points, nine rebounds and a career-best seven assists. In the
previous two games on this trip, he had a total of two rebounds and no
assists.

Howard得了29分9籃板然後一個生涯最佳的7助攻(= =")。在前兩場比賽時,他只抓下兩個
籃板然後未有任何助攻。



It's not uncommon for Howard to do a decent Dirk imitation when the former
MVP is missing. Last season, Nowitzki missed five games, all after March 1.
Howard averaged 28.4 points and 7.2 rebounds in those games.

在Dirk缺席時,Howard爆走並不稀奇。他上季在Dirk缺席的五場比賽,場均28.4分和7.2
籃板。


Clearly, he enjoys those rare moments when he is "The Man."

明顯的,他享受當真男人的時候(當主角xD)。

"He's going to get more shots, without question," coach Rick Carlisle said of
Howard's opportunities when Nowitzki is out. "And he did a great job. His
shots were in the flow. Defensively, he was real good. He rebounded and he
hit timely shots at the end of the shot clock.

他會得到更多出手權的,然後他做的很好,Carlisle說到。在防守端他也做的不錯,他抓
了很多籃板然後在進攻端他也抓穩了出手時機。



"He played great all around. And he made one exceptionally good pass to
[Erick] Dampier for a layup."


他打的很好,然後他傳了一個特別的傳球,傳給Dampier的上籃。



That play came during the third quarter, when the Mavericks fattened up their
lead to 19 points. Their defense was stellar, holding the Clippers to 38
percent shooting. And with Nowitzki serving a one-game suspension for his
backhanded punch of Utah's Matt Harpring on Friday, James Singleton, Brandon
Bass and DeSegana Diop chipped in to make up the difference.


那個play是在第三節時出現的,小牛比賽被縮到只剩19分。



All those players have had significant playing time at points in the season.
That obviously helps when they are forced into action as they were Sunday.


那些球員在本季都有不錯的出賽時間,很明顯的讓他們更快進入星期日的比賽狀況。


"We had to do a lot of things by committee, with Dirk being out," Carlisle
said. "Those guys getting the opportunity to play in stretches, [it] prepares
them for nights like this when we need a bench guy to step up to a starter's
role or a depth guy to step up to a rotation role. We've not hesitated to go
to anybody all year.


Dirk提到,我們有很多事要做。Carlisle說那些人有機會出賽,我們就不會猶豫讓他上場

"All the work that goes into it pays off down the line."

這些努力會有成果的。


Howard had been averaging 14.7 points and 1.4 rebounds in seven games since
returning from an ankle injury. But he was a dynamic force throughout
Sunday's game.


從腳踝傷至今天比賽前,Howard場均14.7和1.4籃板。但在星期天比賽時他帶領了球隊。


He dismissed the idea that he gets more – or better – opportunities when
Nowitzki is out. But it's hard to ignore the numbers.

他沒去想當Dirk不在時他的出手數會增加的事,但要忽略也難。



"This was a big game mentally that he could get under his belt that he
doesn't always have to shoot it, that he gets so much attention that there
are guys open," Jason Kidd said. "And he made all the right passes."


他打了一場好比賽,他注意到有人有空檔,Kidd說。他做了正確的傳球。
