马刺队员们在休息，但是却并不轻松：卫冕冠军在半决赛系列赛中同小牛战成3-3后，放假一天
这个赛季对马刺队来说延长了几天，他们在礼拜六的早上回到了圣安东尼奥。但是至少，他们已经在达拉斯完成了目标，将小牛推到了第七场将在马刺队主场进行的大决战。
在西部半决赛六场比赛，五场比分迫近的结果，让两队支队伍在思想上和精力上饱受压力，队员们神经也变得紧张烦乱，虽然带来了激情但是却让双方队员消耗了大量的体力。正如马刺队的Bowen被问及他和他的队友在星期六将会做什么时，他的回答是：“休息”。
“系列赛在精神上和体力上都是一次相当劳累的经历”，马刺队的主教练Gregg Popovich说。“但是季后赛的争夺和竞争对抗让你必须努力前进，直到你被淘汰出局或获得总冠军”。
马刺自然会倾向于获得总冠军了，但是星期五晚上在达拉斯客场以91-86战胜小牛后，他们清楚地知道在下个星期一小牛队不会作任何退让的。
“那并不是一个缺少木材的情况（也就是说两队都有希望）”，Bowen说，“你所做的一切都是为了拿下最后一场比赛以完成你的霸业”。
虽然很高兴在AT&T中心进行第七场决战，但是马刺主帅波波维奇并不认为马刺有多大的主场优势因为两支队伍的实力实在太接近了。唯一的一场没有在最后关键时刻决出比赛结果的比赛是系列赛第二场在马刺的主场小牛以22分的大比分在胜马刺。在常规赛中，小牛队也是曾在马刺主场赢过球的七支球队之一。
“两队比赛就像是经营一定杂货店一样，利润空间几乎为零；”Gregg Popovich说。两支队伍都在寻找各自的优势，一些细小的差异，那将会是起决定作用的。
当波波维奇给全队放星斯六假的同时，他和他的助手花了大半天的时间寻找球队的训练工具、回放的录像并且准备下一场比赛的比赛计划。
马刺队把100分当作他们获胜的标准。正如马刺战胜小牛的三场比赛中，力争让小牛队得分低于100分，马刺队上下也认为他们有相当大的机会赢得胜利。但是如果马刺队不能将小牛的得分限制在100分以下，会怎么样呢？“我们将会有问题，” Gregg Popovich说。“我们能得到120分，但是仍旧会输给他们”。
在星期五的比赛中马刺队不用考虑Terry，他们可以大胆地包夹Dirk Nowitzki，以及代替特里首发的Jerry Stackhouse，而斯塔克豪斯在第六场比赛中最后11次出手只命中一球。德文•哈里斯，在和特里搭挡小牛后场时曾以其速度给马刺造成了很大的威胁，但是在特里缺赛后命中率仅为14中3。
虽然这样，但是不考虑哪个队员在场上、哪个不在场上，两队都不能缺少任何一名队员，当然第二场比赛除外。第二场比赛中，小牛队在第三节开始时还领先8分，但是不到90秒后他们被马刺队追平了。Brent Barry (http://www.chinaspurs.com/players/brent_barry)在第三节还剩5:41秒里，让马刺队以80-75领先后，小牛队得到了不可思议的6分。
“整个系列赛的比赛基本都是拉锯战”蒂姆•邓肯说。“我们在得分上不能把他们甩得很大，他们对我们也一样”。“这队两队来说都是光荣的，相对于他们排兵部阵的方式和精神上的高度集中感，我们和他们打成平手已经很好了”。
在连输二场前，小牛以3-1领先马刺队，他们本来有机会将卫冕冠军淘汰出局，现在他们能做的就是利用星期六和星期天重新组织球队。
“我们把星期五的比赛当作系列赛的第七场比赛来打，因为我们不想再回到圣安东尼奥，”德克•诺唯斯基说。“现在我们唯一能做的就是好好为星期一的比赛做准备，希望那天我们能表现得更好”。“我们应该自信地走进圣安东尼奥...，我们并不是没有可能在那里赢球。”
两支球队都证明了他们可以在各自的主场赢下比赛。在本赛季他们打的10场比赛中，每队各赢了5场。因此，他们的系列赛没有拉开差距并不为奇。
“如果两队打20场比赛的话，两队的战绩可能会是10-10，” Popovich说。“决定第七场比赛的关键在于我们会在哪里出问题”。

Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) rest, but aren't relaxing: Champs take a day off after tying semifinal series at 3-3

Their season extended a few more days, at least, the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) arrived home early Saturday morning having accomplished their stated goal, pushing Dallas to a seventh game, delivered to their own court.
Six games and five desperate finishes have taxed the mind and spirit of both teams, fraying nerves and creating a thrilling, yet exhausting, Western Conference semifinals series. As Bruce Bowen (http://www.chinaspurs.com/players/bruce_bowen) said when asked what he and his teammates planned to do Saturday, "Rest."
"It's a pretty grueling experience, both mentally and physically," Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) coach Gregg Popovich said. "But the adrenaline of the playoffs and the competitiveness makes you go. You don't stop until ... you lose or you go on to win a championship."
The Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) would prefer the latter course, naturally. But after evening the series with a 91-86 victory in Dallas late Friday, they know better than to expect the Mavericks to concede anything Monday.
"It's not a situation where you're out of the woods," Bowen said. "All you've done is get the last game to your building."
Though glad the AT&T Center is playing host to Game 7, Popovich discounts home court as a large advantage because the two teams are closely matched. The only game not decided in the closing moments was Game 2 when Dallas rolled to a 22-point victory on the Spurs' floor. The Mavericks also handed the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) one of their seven regular-season home losses.
"It's like running a grocery store where the margin for profit is almost zippo," Popovich said. "Both teams are searching for some small advantage, some small margin, that could be the difference."
While Popovich gave the players Saturday off, he and his staff spent much of the day doing some of that searching at the team's practice facility, reviewing film and preparing one more game plan.
The Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) consider 100 points a benchmark for their success. Keep Dallas under it, as they have in each of their three victories, and they think they have a decent chance of winning. And if they don't?
"We're going to have problems," Popovich said. " We can score 120 and still lose against this team."
The Mavericks figure to get a boost Monday when Jason Terry returns from his one-game suspension.
Without Terry to worry about Friday, the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) had an easier time double-teaming Dirk Nowitzki. Jerry Stackhouse, who replaced Terry in the starting lineup, missed 10 of his final 11 shots. Devin Harris, who had given the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) problems with his quickness while teaming with Terry in the backcourt, went 3 of 14.
Regardless, however, of who has or hasn't been on the floor, neither team has been able to separate from the other, with the exception of Game 2. The Mavericks led by eight early in the third quarter Friday only to find themselves tied less than 90 seconds later. After Brent Barry (http://www.chinaspurs.com/players/brent_barry) staked the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) to an 80-75 lead with 5:41 left, Dallas ran off six unanswered points.
"It's been a see-saw battle this entire series," Tim Duncan (http://www.chinaspurs.com/players/tim_duncan) said. "We just haven't been able to put together a little streak to get away from them, and the same with them.
"It's a credit to the teams and the way they're built and the mental toughness they have."
After taking a 3-1 lead in the series before losing two games they easily could have won, the Mavericks planned to use Saturday and Sunday to regroup.
"We approached (Friday) like a Game 7 because we didn't want the series to go back to San Antonio," Nowitzki said. "There's nothing we can do about it now except prepare for Monday when we can hopefully do some things better.
"We should be confident going into San Antonio... It's not like we can't win down there."
Both teams have proven they can win on the other's court. Of the 10 games they've played this season, each has won five. So, neither is surprised their series has gone the distance.
"If we played 20 games, we'd probably be 10-10," Popovich said. "It's just been decided seven games is where we're stopping."

Their season extended a few more days, at least, the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) arrived home early Saturday morning having accomplished their stated goal, pushing Dallas to a seventh game, delivered to their own court.
但是至少，他们已经在达拉斯完成了目标，将小牛推到了第七场将在马刺队主场进行的大决战。
——首先还是那个问题，尽量减少中文的长句，因为这样影响阅读，也不太符合中文的习惯用法。不妨修改如下：对于马刺来说，这个赛季的日程好歹又延长了几天。刚于周六清晨返回圣安东尼奥的马刺成功完成了他们预定的目标，那就是将达拉斯人拖入了第7场决战，而这场比赛将会在马刺的主场举行。
fraying nerves and creating a thrilling
队员们神经也变得紧张烦乱，虽然带来了激情
——后半句不妨翻为：……这些虽然都很激动人心……
out of the woods
那并不是一个缺少木材的情况（也就是说两队都有希望）
——out of the woods 是个俗语，渡过难关的意思
虽然很高兴在AT&T中心进行第七场决战，但是马刺主帅波波维奇并不认为马刺有多大的主场优势因为两支队伍的实力实在太接近了。唯一的一场没有在最后关键时刻决出比赛结果的比赛是系列赛第二场在马刺的主场小牛以22分的大比分在胜马刺。
——这2句话短信中也提过了，可以变成短句，同时注意调整下语序，来使句子更流畅
searching at the team's practice facility, reviewing film
寻找球队的训练工具、回放的录像
——不是 寻找……，而是研究训练设施(的安排等)，并回顾比赛录像……
worry about
考虑
——担心、担忧更好一些
the Spurs (http://www.chinaspurs.com) had an easier time double-teaming Dirk Nowitzki. Jerry Stackhouse, who replaced Terry in the starting lineup
他们可以大胆地包夹Dirk Nowitzki，以及代替特里首发的Jerry Stackhouse，而斯塔克豪斯在第六场比赛中最后11次出手只命中一球。
——这里意思有偏差：原文是指，可以包夹Dirk。同时，代替Terry首发的Stackhouse不断打铁……Stack并不需要被包夹的…-_-
Regardless, however, of who has or hasn't been on the floor, neither team has been able to separate from the other, with the exception of Game 2.
——还是中文的习惯用法问题，中文习惯先条件后结果先原因后结果，英文相反；因此可以说成：除了第二场比赛，两队都无法………
unanswered points
不可思议的6分
——unanswered points没有统一的翻法，不过我的理解就是一个小高潮，因为是对方无法“answer”，无法应对的得分，当时小牛恰是打了一波6-0的小高潮，即如文中所说的。
After taking a 3-1 lead in the series before losing two games they easily could have won
在连输二场前，小牛以3-1领先马刺队，他们本来有机会将卫冕冠军淘汰出局
——这里也稍有出入……
said. "It's just been decided seven games is where we're stopping."
决定第七场比赛的关键在于我们会在哪里出问题
——Pop的话一向难懂…-_-……这里的意思，我的理解是：(If we played 20 games, we'd probably be 10-10)，……所以我们只不过是必须在第7场时结束争夺，分出胜负罢了。(因为Pop的意思是两队实力太接近了……)
Anyway，以上只是个人认为可能可以翻的更好一些的地方，每个人都有自己的风格的哟…-_-
熟能生巧，Keep Going！

---寻找球队的训练工具、回放的录像
不同意见:
这里前一段POP讲到决定胜负的将是比赛中的细节(Both teams are searching for some small advantage, some small margin, that could be the difference.)
然后下一句就讲到,当球员都在休息的时候,马刺制服组却在训练馆里(he and his staff spent much of the day doing some of THAT searching at the team's practice facility)寻找这些优势,后边的动名词短语(reviewing film and preparing one more game plan)在这里个人认为是解释这个searching 的.
