: Comments about reuniting with Marbury result in speculation about his
: future.
關於和Starbury重聚的評論引起了對於他的未來的推測。
: If Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett wanted to stir things up, he picked
: the right audience with the New York media visiting the Twin Cities on
: Sunday.
如果灰狼前鋒KG想引起一陣騷動，那他確實在星期天紐約尼克作客雙城市時選擇了合
適的聽眾 - 嗜八卦如命紐約媒體。
: Garnett told reporters that he would be open to reuniting with former
: Wolf and current Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury, if it meant Marbury
: would come back to Minnesota. Garnett later said he doesn't want to put
: up with more of the Wolves' rebuilding and that the organization owes it
: to him to help him win a championship.
KG告訴記者說如果現效力於尼克的前灰狼控衛Starbury將回鍋明尼蘇達，那他對於和
Starbury再次合作保持著開放的態度。KG稍後表示他不希望再忍受灰狼的重建，而整個球
團在幫助他贏得總冠軍這件事上面都對他有所虧欠。
: Garnett has a knack for divulging his deepest feelings in a manner in
: which it will earn maximum exposure. He criticized Wolves vice president
: of basketball operations Kevin McHale during a TNT interview early this
: season, which contributed to speculation that Garnett might want to be
: traded if the 2005-06 season didn't turn out well.
KG很有技巧地透露出他內心最深切的感受，而且可以說是他話一出口就受到最大程度
的矚目。他季初在接受TNT專訪時批評灰狼的副籃球事務總裁K.McHale，因為他於媒體大眾
及球迷在推測如果'05-'06球季灰狼還是表現不佳，則狼王KG會要求球隊將其交易出去時不
僅沒有出來滅火，反而還扮演了搧風點火的腳色。
: Well, the Wolves are out of playoff contention, and Garnett's latest
: comments added to the fire. The New York newspapers Monday were teeming
: with the possibilities of a Garnett-Marbury reunion.
嗯，灰狼現在已經淡出季後賽門票的競爭行列外了，而KG最近一次發表的言論更是助
長了媒體大眾及球迷對於這個話題的興趣。星期一時，紐約報紙的運動版面充斥著KG-
Starbury再次合作的可能性等相關話題。
: But where? In New York? In Minneapolis?
不過地點呢？在紐約或是明尼亞波利斯？
: Marbury and Garnett both have said they don't want to leave their
: respective teams. Minnesota is the only NBA franchise Garnett has
: played for in his 11 seasons, and Marbury is at home in New York.
Starbury和KG不約而同發表了他們不願離開個別所屬球隊的聲明，明尼蘇達是NBA超級
巨星KG過去11個球季以來所效力的唯一一支球隊，而Starbury的老家就在紐約。
: But their willingness to bury their problems of the past — specifically
: Marbury's distaste for deferring to Garnett — could reunite them once again.
: Of course, one of them would have to budge from his position of not wanting
: to move.
不過他們都很樂意將他們過往的問題拋在腦後 - 尤其是Starbury過去不願順從KG這個
大問題 - 這對於他們想再一次合作來說絕對是件好消息。當然啦，儘管不願調動，他們其
中一個還是必須穿上另一隊的球衣。
: Marbury said the duo could be a special combination again, under the right
: circumstances.
Starbury表示他倆的結合在正確的情況下將會是一個特別的組合。
: "In New York, that would be great," Marbury told reporters Sunday before
: the Wolves hung on to defeat the Knicks 98-94 at Target Center.
Starbury在星期天灰狼堅持到最後一刻終於在主場標靶中心以98比94擊敗尼克前告訴
記者說"如果我們能在紐約再次攜手合作，那就太棒了！"
: Which begs the question: Did one of Garnett's comments Sunday leave room
: for the idea that he might be OK with a trade if the Wolves continue with
: their rebuilding project?
是誰在逃避問題：如果灰狼仍一意孤行持續他們的重建計劃，那KG也許會點頭同意球
隊將他交易出去，在星期天他所發表的哪一個言論中為此預留了空間？
: "I've always said I'll be in Minnesota as long as they want me here,"
: he said. "I don't think I can take another one of these rebuilding stages.
: I've always said that I think I'm worth not only being listened to, but
: I think I'm definitely in a position where I (should) have a team and …
: a chance to win a ring. So I think, at the end of the day, they should at
: least give me that. If it's anything different from that, then it's a
: discussion we have to talk about."
他說"我總是說只要他們希望我在這裡我就會一直待在明尼蘇達，但我也不認為我可以
再忍受任何一個他們緩慢的重建步驟。我總是說我認為以自己的表現，我說的話應該受人
重視，而且有資格待在一支有衝擊總冠軍獎盃能力的球隊。所以我在想，今天結束後，他
們應該至少給我一個能讓我滿意的回應，如果沒有，那我們是該坐下來好好談一談了。"
: This will be the second consecutive season the Wolves have missed the
: playoffs after reaching the Western Conference finals in 2004.
這將是灰狼自'04年闖進西區總冠軍賽以來連續第二個球季與季後賽失之交臂。
: The downturn comes at a pivotal time in Garnett's career. Garnett said
: he wants the organization to add more talent this summer to get the team
: back to playoff caliber.
球隊阻止不了的墜落之勢成了KG職業生涯的關鍵時刻，他表示自己希望球團在今年暑
假能招攬更多有天份的球員入隊，以幫助球隊重返季後賽逐鹿中原的行列。
: Stay tuned.
請密切注意事情發展。
: Davis hampered: Wolves coach Dwane Casey said swingman Ricky Davis still
: is hampered by a strained groin the veteran suffered March 1 in a game
: against New Jersey. Davis didn't miss any games because of the injury
: but has limped slightly from time to time.
因傷所苦的Davis：灰狼的總教練D.Casey表示已經在聯盟打滾了7、8年的鋒衛搖擺人R
.Davis仍受到3月1日與新澤西籃網比賽中鼠蹊部扭傷的困擾，Davis未曾因為這傷勢錯過任
何比賽，但有時卻會受此影響，因而跑起步來一跛一跛的。
: Davis is shooting 42.3 percent since the injury but is just 10 for 37
: (27 percent) in the past three games.
Davis自從受傷以來投籃命中率為42.3%，但在過去三場比賽一共出手37次卻只命中10
球(27%)。
: "I really think his groin is bothering him," Casey said. "I don't think
: he's 100 percent on his jump shot, just watching the way he's running."
Casey說"我真的認為他的鼠蹊部傷勢對他造成了困擾，我不認為他現在跳投時能發揮
100%的實力，你只要看他跑步的方式就可以知道為什麼我會這麼說。"
: Briefly: Rookie guard Rashad McCants' third game as a starter was by far
: his most effective offensively. He broke out of a mini-slump with 17 points
: on 5-of-9 shooting Sunday. In his first two starts, McCants shot 4 for 15
: combined.
簡報：菜鳥後衛RMC先發上陣的第三場比賽是迄今他在進攻方面表現地最有效率的一場
比賽，他在星期天以投9中5的命中率拿下17分結束了最近的小低潮期。在他先發上陣的頭
兩場比賽，他一共出手15次卻只有4球順利入網。
: "Rashad has the type of personality where he doesn't feel pressure," Casey
: said, "which is a good thing and a bad thing. If he misses a shot, he
: misses a shot."
Casey說"RMC有那種他不會感受到壓力的人格特質，這是好事也是壞事，如果他失手，
就只是失手罷了。"
: McCants was on the bench down the stretch in the fourth quarter because
: he still is a liability on defense.
RMC第四節末段直到比賽結束都被擺在板凳上，因為他仍是對手打點的主要目標之一。
: ‧ The Wolves did not practice Monday and will reconvene today in preparation
: for Wednesday's game against Orlando at Target Center.
灰狼星期一並未舉行例行練習，但他們今天將為明天在主場迎戰奧蘭多魔術隊的比賽
預作準備。
