Last night, we were reminded why the expectations were initially so high for Dallas and Luca Don coming into this year Now, one hurdle they will need to overcome is the 10 back to back games they have scheduled for the second half of the regular season.

昨晚，我們被提醒為什麼最初對達拉斯和盧卡-唐進入今年的期望如此之高現在，他們需要克服的一個障礙是他們在常規賽下半程安排的10場背靠背比賽。

Take a look here.

在這裡看一看。

This is tied for second.

這是並列第二的。

Most given the injury concerns for Christoph, for Zynga's definitely something they are going to have to mitigate.

最鑑於克里斯托夫的傷病問題，對於Zynga來說，他們肯定要減輕。

Richard.

理查德

Do you expect the math to be better in the second half?

你希望下半場的數學能更好嗎？

Given especially this hurdle with the schedule that we just got today?

尤其是考慮到今天剛拿到的日程表的這個障礙？

Well, you don't want to say things can't get worse because always things can get worse.

好吧，你不想說事情不會變得更糟，因為事情總是會變得更糟。

But if you look at the injuries, the lack of the travel because of covid that they had to deal with players being stuck in certain places, you knew that they were going to get off to a slow start and again, like posing is not being at the level.

但如果你看看傷病，缺乏旅行，因為covid，他們不得不處理球員被困在某些地方，你知道他們會有一個緩慢的開始，再次，像擺設是不在水準。

And I think now they're kind of warming up into their season, which you see a lot of teams do.

而且我覺得現在他們算是在為自己的賽季熱身，你看到很多球隊都是這樣做的。

They didn't have the great offensive efficiency that they had last year, but the entire league has jumped up offensively.

他們雖然沒有去年那樣出色的進攻效率，但整個聯盟的進攻效率已經躍升。

So I'm not surprised again, kind of similar to what Matt said about Hey there, three or four games away from all of a sudden being right into the okay, The Dallas Mavericks are back, so I'm not surprised.

所以我又不驚訝了，有點類似於馬特說的嘿嘿，三四場比賽的時間突然就進入了好吧，達拉斯小牛隊回來了，所以我不驚訝。

I think the expectations people thought Luca was gonna win the M V P.

我想人們的期望是盧卡會贏得M V P。

And they thought those numbers were gonna be there and their team was going to continue to grow.

他們認為這些數字會在那裡，他們的團隊會繼續成長。

It's just been a very slow growth so far this year.

只是今年以來，增長非常緩慢。

Well, you know, I think you look at what Lucas done.

嗯，你知道，我想你看看盧卡斯做了什麼。

I think he scored 30 something 34 points a game over this six and one winning streak that they have, He's gonna be fine.

我想他每場比賽得30分34分，在這六連勝中，他們有一個連勝，他會很好的。

I don't worry about him.

我不擔心他。

But if I am the Mavericks and I'm looking at the schedule Rachel that you've put up, I do have concerns about poor Zynga's because first it was the knee he was coming off.

但如果我是小牛隊，我看著你放出的賽程表瑞秋，我確實很擔心可憐的齊格的，因為首先是他的膝蓋要脫臼。

He had to literally get in shape as the season began.

賽季開始後，他不得不真的進入狀態。

Because of that short off season.

因為那短暫的淡季。

Now there's some back stiffness.

這下子有些腰桿子硬了。

He's very important that he has been really a disaster defensively, which were not used with Porzingis.

他非常重要，他在防守上真的是一場災難，這些都是波爾津吉斯沒用過的。

He was an elite defensive player for a part of the time with New York and last year with Dallas.

他在紐約和去年在達拉斯的一部分時間裡是一名精英防守球員。

Can he get back to that?

他能回得去嗎？

Can he be a rim protector with fighting his way through all these injuries?

他能在這麼多傷病中奮力一搏，成為護框高手嗎？

The other guy, I think that's really hurt them, that's been out, has been Max Kleber.

另一個人，我認為這真的傷害了他們，一直在外面，一直是馬克斯克萊伯。

He was out.

他出局了。

He was back in.

他又回來了。

Now he's out again.

現在他又出來了。

So those are the questions I have also, you know, we've talked so much about the missing Seth Curry.

所以這些問題我也有，你知道，我們已經談了這麼多關於失蹤的塞斯-庫裡。

If you watched that game last night, you say maybe Jalen Bronson could be Seth Curry, so that makes you feel a little better.

如果你昨晚看了那場比賽，你說也許傑倫-布朗森可以成為塞斯-庫裡，這樣你就會感覺好一點。

But this this scheduled to me is concerning because of those back to backs.

但是這個這個預定我很擔心，因為這些背靠背。

And I can't imagine Parsing is playing a ton of back to backs.

而我無法想象帕辛正在玩大量的背靠背。

This team had a lot of hype coming into the season after what they did in the bubble.

這支球隊在保麗龍中的所作所為，進入賽季後被炒作得很厲害。

Uh, what Luca personally did in the bubble.

呃，盧卡個人在保麗龍中做了什麼。

So, you know, he was odds on favorite to win the M V P.

所以，你知道，他是贏得M V P的賠率熱門。

and we're all expecting a lot from Dallas and, like Richard said, it just didn't happen that way.

我們都對達拉斯寄予厚望 就像理查德說的那樣，它只是沒有發生這種情況。

But any time you have local, you have a great chance.

但只要你有在地的，你就有很大的機會。

And this game is all about getting hot at the right time.

而這個遊戲就是要在合適的時間裡熱起來。

Taking, you know, case in point, the Miami Heat last year.

就拿，你知道，去年邁阿密熱火隊的案例來說。

You know, coming out of that fifth seed to make the finals.

你知道的，從第五個種子中脫穎而出，進入總決賽。

It's just about getting hot at the right time.

就是要在合適的時間熱起來。

The one concern, obviously, is K P and his ability to be able to play over the second half of this season.

很顯然，人們擔心的是K P和他在本賽季後半段的能力。

But I'm also just interested to see what their what they do before the trade deadline.

但我也只是想看看他們在交易截止日之前會做什麼。

Is there a piece they can pick up or a couple of pieces they can pick up to strengthen that roster?

他們是否可以選取一塊或者幾塊來加強這個陣容？

But I think the key to this team's success in the second half is KPs ability to be on the floor and be effective because you know what, You know every night would look was gonna give you now.

但我認為這支球隊在下半場成功的關鍵是KPs在場上的能力和效率，因為你知道什麼，你知道每天晚上會看是會給你現在。

Yeah, interesting to bring that up about the trade deadline, Jackie.

是啊，有趣的是提出了關於交易截止日期的問題，傑克。

We've heard there's rumors out there that maybe the Mavs are even shopping for Zynga's now mark Cuban has come out strongly denied those.

我們聽說有傳言說，也許小牛隊甚至在選購Zynga的現在馬克-庫班已經出來強烈否認了這些。

Do you expect them to make some kind of move before the deadline?

你希望他們在截止日期前有什麼動作嗎？

I don't know about Porzingis.

我不知道波爾津吉斯。

My I think this is probably, uh you know, semantics here.

我想這可能是，呃，你知道，語義在這裡。

I doubt that.

我對此表示懷疑。

Their shop actively shopping Porzingis.

他們店積極選購波爾津吉斯。

But are they listening?

但他們在聽嗎？

We know one thing about Donnie Nelson.

我們知道唐尼-尼爾森的一件事。

He's always listening to everybody, but I I expect Porzingis to be with them going forward.

他總是聽從大家的意見，但我我希望波爾津吉斯能和他們一起前進。

Now, can they make another little move short?

現在，他們能不能再做一個小動作做空？

And they probably should.

而且他們可能應該。
