: In the aftermath of their ugliest home game of the season,
: Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey had no excuses for his players.
在灰狼經歷本季最糟的一場主場比賽後，總教練D.Casey沒辦法再替球員們找出任何藉
口。
: He saw them slog down the court. He saw them miss open jump shots.
他眼睜睜看著球員們在場上被痛宰，看著他們連大空檔的跳投都沒辦法順利投進。
: Casey wanted no part of the idea there was some frustration in the
: locker room regarding the team's halfcourt offense after a 93-84
: loss Tuesday night to the Los Angeles Clippers and former Wolf Sam
: Cassell.
在禮拜二晚上的比賽以84比93敗給洛杉磯快艇和前灰狼球員S.Cassell後，在球員休息
室裡瀰漫著一股Casey想都沒想過的關於半場進攻受挫的低迷氣氛。
: "I've never told our team not to run," Casey said Wednesday after
: practice. "I've always encouraged running. Our wings must run."
Casey在禮拜三的練習結束後說"我從沒告訴他們不要盡全力奔跑，相反地還鼓勵他們
要一直跑動，我們兩側鋒翼球員一定得持續跑動以尋求空檔。"
: Without the hustle necessary for transition baskets, the offense
: bogged down and the Wolves shot just 39.2 percent. The culprits
: were many: Troy Hudson (1 of 7), Wally Szczerbiak (3 of 9), Trenton Hassell (
: 2 of 6), Rashad McCants (2 of 7) and Eddie Griffin (4 of 11).
因為缺乏對於進攻轉換的熱情，球隊的進攻如同身陷泥沼，投籃命中率低迷至僅39.2%
，戰犯很多，包括投7中1的T.Hudson、投9中3的W.Szczerbiak、投6中2的T.Hassell、投7中
2的R.McCants和投11中4的E.Griffin。
: "The shots were there," Casey said.
Casey說"他們明明就有很好的投籃機會卻沒投進。"
: The Wolves managed to avoid a blowout loss with a 14-0 run in the
: fourth quarter. Twelve of those points came with Marko Jaric,
: Rashad McCants, Troy Hudson, Eddie Griffin and Kevin Garnett on
: the floor. Starting center Michael Olowokandi did not play in the
: fourth quarter.
灰狼試圖藉由第四節一波14比0的攻勢躲過一場潰不成軍的敗仗，其中12分來自場上的
M.Jaric、McCants、Hudson、Griffin和狼王，先發中鋒軟糖在第四節根本就沒上場。
: "The game was getting out of reach, and then we went into attack
: mode," Casey said. "We've got to play the first half that way as
: well as the second half."
Casey說"這場比賽沒救了後我們就轉成進攻模式放手去打，反而取得不錯的成效。以
後我們應該在比賽的上半場就像這場比賽下半場時一樣認真打球。"
: No A.C.: Casey said point guard Anthony Carter had been the biggest
: surprise on the roster this season. But apparently that isn't enough to get
: the veteran defensive specialist time on the court. Carter
: has not played in two of the past three games, including Tuesday's
: loss. Carter has appeared in nine of 13 games this season and
: averaged 15.8 minutes during his first five games. Since then, he
: has averaged 7.8 minutes. Casey said it's a matter of matchups.
關於A.Carter：Casey表示控衛Carter已成為本季球員名單上的最大驚奇，不過很顯然
地光是擁有精湛的防守功夫，還是不足以說服球隊把他擺在場上。Carter在過去三場比賽
中有兩場未上，包括球隊禮拜二輸球的那場。Carter在本季已進行的13場比賽中上了9場，
在有上的前5場比賽平均打15.8分鐘，不過後4場平均上場時間掉到7.8分鐘，Casey說那是
為了要配合對手而做的陣容調配。
: "I thought one thing we needed more than anything else is offense
: going down the stretch to make a shot," Casey said of Tuesday's
: game. "We were struggling shooting thirty-something percent. If I
: thought we needed defense at the time, we probably would have went
: with A.C. or (Ronald) Dupree. I felt like we needed shooters on the
: floor."
對於禮拜二的比賽Casey如是說"我想球隊當務之急就是要做好進攻並把球投進。我們
的投籃命中率一直處於百分之三十幾的低迷狀態，如果我認為我們當下需要加強防守，我
也許會考慮把Carter或R.Dupree派上場，不過我想現在場上需要的是射手。"
: Briefly: The Wolves' players did not speak to the media before enter
: ing an NBA players association meeting after practice Wednesday. It
: was a regularly scheduled meeting, but specifics regarding the agenda
: were not disclosed.
快報：灰狼隊的球員在禮拜三練習結束後於參加NBA球員聯合會前並未接受媒體的訪問
，那是個表定的會議，不過很顯然地這個議程內容並未被透露。
: ‧ Jaric (neck stiffness) practiced, and his condition has improved.
: He might continue to receive treatment from a chiropractor if necessary
: , Casey said.
Casey表示頸部僵硬的Jaric參與了練習，身體狀況也有所好轉。如果需要的話，他會
繼續接受脊椎指壓治療師的治療。
