※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言：
最近的延長賽有著較好的防守
: http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/basketball/16667279.htm
: The Timberwolves have been playing better defense down the stretch. That has
: allowed them to stay competitive and have a chance to win.
灰狼在最近一連串的比賽中,防守有了較好的表現.這也讓他們有足夠的競爭力去爭取
勝利.
: The Wolves allowed an average of 20.4 points a game and 34.9 percent shooting
: in the fourth quarter in the first nine games since Randy Wittman was made
: interim head coach following Dwane Casey's firing. That includes outscoring
: the Golden State Warriors 32-21 in the fourth quarter of a 121-93 victory
: Wednesday night.
灰狼在嘴砲西被炒魷魚,Wittman接手總教練後的九場比賽,繳出了平均一場比賽20.4分
以及34.9%的命中.其中也包括了週三晚上對上勇士,以121-93贏得勝利中,爆發性得分
32-21的第四節.
: "We've done a better job I think of trying to shrink the floor up and not
: give driving lanes," Wittman said. "Sometimes you're going to give up
: perimeter shots, but I'd rather give up a perimeter shot than a layup. Our
: guys have done a better job of clogging the paint up a little bit, forcing
: teams to penetrate and kick the ball out."
"我想藉著防守內縮以及阻止內線切入,我們已經做的很棒了,"Wittman在賽前這麼說.
"有時候你必須去放棄外線投射,但是我寧願放棄一個投射也不會放棄一個上籃.我們
的球員在油漆區的防守緊鎖會較為嚴密,這促使隊伍看透對方並且不讓對方得分."
: Heading into Friday night's game at Memphis, Wittman's club was just 3-6
: since he took over, but four of those losses have been by three points or
: fewer. The Wolves outscored opponents by an average of 5.3 points in the
: fourth quarter in the first nine games.
即將再周五晚上對上灰熊,Wittman在他接管教練之後有著3-6的成績,但是其中四場敗
場輸了三分以下.在前九場比賽中,灰狼在第四節的得分平均超過對手5.3分.
: "If you want to close the game, the fourth quarter is the right time to do
: it," veteran guard Marko Jaric said.
"如果你想贏球,那麼第四節是你最好的選擇,"經驗豐富的後衛,Marko Jaric在賽前這
麼說.
: Jaric believes the players have been more focused in the fourth quarter and
: have paid more attention to details defensively.
Jaric說他相信球員們在第四節時會更加專著,並且在防守的細節上更為謹慎.
: Wittman said his emphasis on defense might be paying off.
: "We've just stressed coming down the stretches of games (that), hey, we've
: got to buckle down now," Wittman said.
Wittman說他對於防守的強調將會有回報.
"我們已經對於之前的比賽緊繃了很久,嘿,現在我們可以輕鬆一下了."(這段有點看不懂)
: Memphis likes to push the pace and play high-scoring games. The Wolves didn't
: want to get caught up in that tempo and play out of their comfort zone.
灰熊像是在加快比賽節奏並且打高得分比賽.灰狼並不願意去跟隨他們的節奏,並且在
他們不擅長的領域打球.
: "We can't come down and get into a quick shooting game with this team,"
: Wittman said. "That's what they want. They want you to make no passes or one
: pass and a quick shot. We've got to make sure we're working them defensively
: and making them play defense."
"我們不能跟他們一樣打著快速投射的球風,"Wittman說"這是他們所想看到的.我們必
須確實防守他們,並且讓他們也打防守球風."
: Briefly: The return of Rashad McCants to the lineup has pushed Bracey Wright
: to the inactive list for the past five games. The organization remains
: committed to reincorporating McCants, the club's 2005 first-round pick.
: Playing time, however, is dictated by performance, just like any other
: player, Wittman said.
: "It's all how he's playing and how he looks," Wittman said. "There's going to
: be ups and downs with that. We'll see how his legs are (against Memphis)."
短訊:Rashad McCants的歸來,在過去的六場比賽中,將Bracey Wright擠到非上場球
員名單.球隊也做出表態,會持續的讓這位2005第一輪選上的球員上場表現.然而Wittman
說,不管是任何人,上場時間都應該由他們各自的表現來決定.
"一切都要看他打的如何以及身體狀況如何,"Wittman說"情況可能會有所起伏.我們會在
對抗灰熊的比賽中觀察他腿的情況."
: ‧ Mike James and Randy Foye did a better job of running the offense against
: Golden State, Wittman said.
: "I want us to run and look for easy scoring opportunities, but then when we
: don't have it that we're into something where all five guys know where
: everybody is at," Wittman said. "I thought it was better. The transition
: (offense) was good for us the last game. We had some better opportunities."
Wittman說Mike James以及Randy Foye在週三晚上對上勇士時,跑位進攻做的很不錯.
"我希望我們的球員可以跑動並且尋找任何可以輕鬆得分的機會.但是當我們沒有機
會的時候,我們就必須跑位,並且熟知所有人的位置."Wittman說"我想這方面已經較
之前好了.上一場比賽我們在進攻上表現地很不錯.我們因此有了較好的出手機會."
: ‧ Minnesota's 28-point margin of victory over Golden State was its biggest
: since defeating Washington by 35 points on Dec. 26, 2004.
灰狼大勝勇士28分的紀錄是自他們在2004年12月26號贏了巫師35分後,贏最多的分數.
