: When Randy Wittman took over as Timberwolves coach about five weeks ago, he
: stressed to his players the need for a sense of urgency.
當阿曼在五個星期前接任灰狼教練時,他要求他的球員加強危機意識
: The results haven't been what any of them had hoped, and Wittman is searching
: within himself for ways to improve the team.
這個結果目前尚未起到任何他們希望的效果,而阿曼正在尋找改善這個隊的方法
: "That's an accurate statement," Wittman said after Thursday's practice on the
: heels of a 91-65 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at home. "That's the only thing
: you can do."
"那是正確的" 在星期四主場以91比65輸給小牛後的練習阿曼這麼說道 "那是唯一你能
做的"
: Wittman said he is considering changing the rotations to give the team a
: spark. Though he said it's possible the starting lineup could change, the
: more likely scenario is that different sets of players who haven't played
: much together will see action.
阿曼說他正考慮改變輪替陣容給隊上一點不一樣的 雖然他說先發有可能改變, 最有可
能的情況是平時很少配合的球員們會一起上場打打看
: So it wouldn't be surprising to see little-used Troy Hudson get more minutes
: tonight. And Kevin Garnett could be on the court more without Mark Blount if
: the Wolves go small.
所以不要太意外今晚會看到沒啥在用的Hudson會有更多時間在場上 且如果灰狼要走小
陣型的話就沒有Blount而KG要在場上更多時間
: At this point, Wittman must examine all options. Nothing else has worked as
: the team teeters on a cliff.
關於這點,阿曼必須檢查所有事項 現在球隊的情況就像在懸崖邊玩翹翹板
: The Wolves, 1-3 so far during their five-game homestand, set a franchise low
: Tuesday, shooting 29.6 percent against Dallas in a 91-65 loss. Instead of
: improving, the team is headed downhill.
灰狼隊,最近五場主場戰績1勝3負,星期二命中率又出奇的低,對上小牛FG只有29.6% 取
代改進,目前球隊狀況可說是down到谷底
: "We're kind of still finding ourselves, and it's too late in the season to be
: doing that," guard Trenton Hassell said. "We still believe we can get it
: done. We've just got to do it."
"我們仍舊穩健的找回我們自己,而這件事對這季來說已經太晚" 後衛Hassell說道 "我
們仍舊相信我們能做好這件事 我們正把它完成"
: Ricky Davis acknowledged that winning the Northwest Division is out of the
: picture, with the team trailing Utah by 12 games heading into tonight's
: meeting at Target Center. Now, the playoffs aren't even the focus. It's about
: fixing the team first.
Davis知道要贏得西北組龍頭是不可能的了,今晚在標靶球場對上爵士前他們已落後爵士
12場勝差 現在,季後賽已不是重點,當務之急是把這個球隊整合起來
: "I think we're shooting for trying to get that sixth, seventh, eighth spot,"
: Davis said. "We've got to win games, though, before we even think about the
: playoffs."
"我認為我們還是在努力競爭第六,第七,第八的位置" Davis說 "在我們肖想季後賽前,
我們要先贏球"
: After tonight's game, there are just two dozen games left. Time is running
: out.
今晚的比賽過後,只剩下24場比賽 時間很明顯不夠了
: The Wolves are 1-4 since the all-star break and 6-11 since the organization
: changed coaches. Other teams fighting for the Western Conference's
: bottom-rung playoff spots are at least showing signs of fight.
灰狼在明星賽後1勝4敗而換教練後是6勝11敗 其他隊正努力為西區季後賽後段班名次打
拼並且展現出他們的企圖心
: The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers entered Thursday with modest
: winning streaks of two and three games and occupy the seventh and eight
: playoff seeds, respectively. The New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, finally
: healthy with Chris Paul and David West back in the lineup, have won seven of
: their past 10 games.
金塊跟快艇在星期四遭遇前各有2連勝跟3連勝且各佔據第7跟第8種子 黃蜂在Paul跟
West健康歸隊後,最近10場已經贏了7場
: Still, the Wolves began the day just two games behind the Clippers for the
: final playoff spot.
不變的是,目前灰狼在季後賽最後一個席次上還是以兩場勝差落後快艇
: "What's so remarkable is that we're not playing good and we're still (two
: games) out," Hassell said. "It can be done. We can't continue saying we're
: still there. We've got to make a move because the Clippers are on a little
: winning streak. New Orleans is playing great since they got West and all
: their players back."
"該注意的是我們最近打的不好且在季後賽名單外" Hassell說 "我們做得到 我們不能
讓自己停滯不前 我們必須往前邁進因為快艇有個小連勝 黃蜂自從West跟其他球員歸
隊後也打的不賴"
: Wittman said he's looking within himself to see what he can do better, which
: includes how he prepares his team for games. But that won't make much a
: difference if the players don't perform better. The players have to be
: accountable.
阿曼說他正在審視自己如何能做的更好,當中包含他要如何讓他的球隊為比賽做好準備
但如果球員的表現沒變好的話那這個改變就不會太明顯 球員們必須負擔起責任
: Davis said there's been a sense of urgency since the all-star break. It's
: difficult to tell.
Davis說從明星賽後就有種急迫的感覺 這很難用言語形容
: "I think it's within us," Davis said. "I don't think no one coach or nobody
: can change what's going on over here. I think it's just what we've got in
: this building. We're all we got right now. If we don't put it together, it's
: not going to happen."
"我認為這就在我們之中" Davis說 "我不認為沒有教練或沒有人能改變這兒的處境 我
想這就是我們在這棟建築物裡該做的 我們全部人現在就該這樣做 如果我們不團結一致
,什麼事也不會發生"
