Mavericks have to stick together and be patient with Parsons
小牛得團結起來，並對Parsons更有耐心些。
Our four game-night observations about the Dallas Mavericks’ 105-96 loss to
the Miami Heat Sunday at American Airlines Center, a game in which they were
down by 22 in the fourth quarter before a junk-time rally served as make-up
to cover up an ugly night of zits.
小牛剛輸了對熱火的比賽(105-96)，
第四節垃圾時間的反彈稍稍掩飾了曾落後22分噩夢般的比賽。
No time to splinter: The Mavericks have hit the season’s first storm as they
have been blown out in two of their last three games, although they did have
a man-up moment in Utah in between. What it boils down to is this likely
poses a good early season test of their unity. “We feel like we got a deep
team,” Dirk Nowitzki said. “We just got to get it done together. There will
be some nights when the starters are flat and our bench is great, and the
other way around. So we’re too good, too experienced, to point fingers.
Whoever’s out there has to bust his butt for the success of the team.” It
will be up to Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler and the other senior members of the
team to make sure everybody pulls in the same direction going forward.
沒有時間搞分裂了：
小牛隊正面臨這賽季的第一個難關，近三場比賽中，
有兩場潰不成軍，雖然其中在猶他有稍微堅強起來。
這對於小牛來說是個能讓大夥團結一心的考驗。
Dirk：＂我們認為自己是支板凳深度很夠的球隊，
但我們才湊在一起不久，在比賽中，
有時候我們先發的表現不佳，但替補會撐起比賽，反過來說也行。
我們球隊夠好、夠有經驗才會被批評。
球隊裡的每個人都必須為了勝利竭盡所能。＂
Dirk、Tyson 和其他球隊的老成員們，必須要確保大家都走在正確的方向。
About the energy: It wasn’t there. At least not in the amounts that coach
Rick Carlisle wanted. He had a calm, but stern, commentary on the level of
competitiveness his team displayed and he said until it rises to the level
that’s needed, they will continue to fight inconsistency. “For sure, top to
bottom, our energy was not what you need to compete in this league,” said
Jae Crowder. “The energy was not there.”
關於球隊的活力：
似乎不存在這玩意。至少不符合Carlisle的期望。
他平淡、嚴肅的談論球隊所展現出的活力、競爭力，
他說他們必須將其提升到比賽所需的程度。
Crowder：＂恩...從上到下，我們的活力能量都不足以在聯盟中競爭。＂
Speaking of Crowder: Though the game was out of reach, he was the one player
who in the fourth quarter showed the sort of fire that Carlisle wanted to
see. Crowder had gone four games without playing more than token minutes. In
one game, he didn’t play at all. Yet he responded with 5-of-6 shooting and
lots of energized play in playing the entire fourth quarter. “I thought
Crowder played really hard,” Carlisle said. “I thought he competed hard.
When you do things hard, other good things happen. There’s a guy that has
been sitting now for a couple of weeks ever since Barea got here, and he’s
continued to work. He got his chance. I thought he guarded the heck out of
(Dwyane) Wade. He hit shots and you knew he was out there. He’s gotten my
attention and we need more guys to follow his lead.”
談談Crowder吧！
雖然本場比賽的勝利有些遙不可及，但他在第四節的表現是Carlisle想要看到的。
Crowder本季有4場比賽上場時間不到10分鐘，還有一場根本沒上場。
但他的回應是今天在第四節有著投6中5的高命中率以及各種充滿活力的表現。
Carlisle ：＂我認為Crowder 今天在場上很努力，
當你很努力的做一些事情時，就會有好事(表現)發生。＂
有個傢伙自從JJB來了就總是待在板凳上，但他仍不斷練習。
我認為他的防守讓Wade感到困擾。
他能投進球，雖然不是很穩定，
但我們注意到他了，我們需要更多人像他一樣有著充滿活力的表現。
Don’t worry about Parsons: Yes, he’s 2-for-20 in the last two games. Before
that he was 22-of-41 in the previous three games. This is what Parsons will
be like at times. He’s still too young to be consistent every night. There
will be some down moments. But the key is to remember that Parsons is in this
for the long haul. He’s going to have games when he carries the Mavericks. It
’s way too early to be searching for any panic buttons about him.
別太擔心Parsons...
沒錯他近兩場比賽出手20次只進了2球。
但再往前三場比賽他則有超過五成命中率的好表現。
Parsons太年輕了，以至於沒辦法每場都有穩定的表現。
他有時候會低潮，但長遠來看這只是一小部分而已。
他還是會有carry小牛隊比賽的時候！
所以現在就擔心他，有點太早啦！

補上一些他自己的看法@@
“I just got to keep shooting the ball,” he said. “I’ve never really gone
through a slump where I’ve shot the ball this poorly. But it’s part of the
game. I just got to stick with it and be confident. It’s definitely
frustrating. I just got to continue to shoot the ball.
“I feel confident. I try to shoot the same shot every time. I’m getting
good looks, they’re just not falling. That’s just one minor part of the
game. I can impact the game in so many other ways I just have to do that and
help us get wins even when the shot’s not falling.”
Parsons：＂我必須持續出手投籃，我不曾像這幾場一樣的瘋狂打鐵。
但這只是比賽的一部分。我只能堅持下去，並保持信心。
這絕對令人挫折。但我只能繼續出手投籃。
我有信心，看了比賽自己出手的鏡頭，
我的動作並沒有哪裡不對勁，只是球都沒有進而已...
這只是比賽中的一部分，我仍能以其他方式去改變比賽，
只要能做好其他部分，就算繼續打鐵，仍能幫助球隊獲勝。＂
Dirk也說Parsons還年輕，身為射手就算打鐵了10次還是要相信自己下一球會投進!

看來Crowder接下來的上場時間會穩定一點，
希望能讓其他人在場上也跟他一樣有活力啊！
至於Parsons...就讓我們繼續看下去吧@@
