Logic would suggest that Trenton Hassell would avoid the subject as much as
possible. Why ruin a night off watching Kobe Bryant or Michael Redd beat up
on somebody for four quarters when you know your turn is next?
照理說色狼應該會盡可能避免去接觸這一類的影片，為什麼當他知道下一個受害者就
是自己時還要花上一整個晚上的時間去觀看Kobe或M.Redd在球賽整整四節的時間裡是如何
羞辱他的對手呢？
But see, that's the point.
但你注意到了嗎，那就是重點所在。
Trenton Hassell is the Wolves' designated defender. Outside with Allen
Iverson or Tracy McGrady one night. Inside with Andrei Kirilenko or Ruben
Patterson the next. There are nights when the 6-5 guard succeeds -- such as
when he helped hold Iverson and McGrady to a combined 11-for-40 in
back-to-back victories earlier this month -- and times when he becomes an
unwilling extra in a Sports Center highlight.
色狼是灰狼陣中的頭號大鎖，前一晚在外圍防守AI或T-Mac，隔天晚上又在內線防堵
AK47或R.Patterson。有幾個晚上這個身高6呎5吋的後衛勝出了 -- 例如他在球隊月初背靠
背連續兩場獲勝的球賽中將AI和T-Mac壓制到一共出手40次僅命中11球 -- 不過他偶爾也會
在非自願的情形下成為體育中心球賽精彩片段中的背景人物。
So Hassell will watch basketball just about every night. He'll pick a game
featuring an upcoming opponent, hunker down in front of the TV with his wife,
Tiffany, and take mental notes.
所以色狼幾乎每一個晚上都會觀看球賽。他會選擇一場即將面對的對手表現出色的球
賽，和他的妻子Tiffany一起蹲在電視前觀看並默默地在心中記下某些值得注意的要點。
"She played, too, so she understands," Hassell said earlier this week. "So
we'll sit there, talk about a guy. Does he go left, or would he rather go
right? If he goes left is he going to pull up? If he goes right will he take
it to the basket? Where is his sweet spot?
"她以前也打籃球，所以她了解，"色狼之前這麼說道。"所以我們會坐下來一起討論某
個球員。他會往左或者會往右？如果他往左他會不會停下？如果他往右他會不會直接切到
籃下？哪裡是他特別喜愛的出手點？
Tuesday night's plan was to watch Kobe run with the Chicago Bulls. On
Wednesday, he matched up with Bryant and held the Lakers star to 24 points,
four under his average, although Bryant played only 30 minutes and sat out most
of the fourth quarter, when he often does the most damage.
星期二晚上的計畫是觀察Kobe對上芝加哥公牛的表現。星期三，他對上了Kobe並將這
位湖人巨星壓制到只得到24分，低於他本季的平均得分4分，儘管Kobe只打了30分鐘而且在
他通常最具破壞力的第四節大部分時間都坐在板凳上。
Tonight, it's on to Milwaukee. Will it be Redd? Or Patterson, his defensive
assignment when the Wolves played the Bucks last weekend at Target Center?
今晚，輪到密爾瓦基公鹿了。這次他將對上Redd？還是那個上週灰狼在標靶中心對上
公鹿時所負責防守的Patterson？
It hasn't always been this way for Hassell, a scoring machine at Austin Peay
before he landed in Chicago as a rookie in the fall of 2001. It took some
time to realize that defense was going to keep him in the league.
專職防守對色狼來說並不是習以為常的事，'01年秋天以菜鳥身分加盟公牛前他在奧斯
丁‧畢大學可是部得分機器。他花了不少時間才了解到只有防守才能讓他在聯盟中生存下
去。
Hassell credits two people for helping him the most: Charles Oakley, who was
with the Bulls that season near the end of his 19-year career; and Pete
Myers, a former player who joined the Bulls coaching staff in 2001.
色狼認為對他幫助最大的人有兩位：當時待在公牛，已經接近19年職業生涯末期的C.
Oakley；以及於'01年球季加入公牛教練團隊的前球員P.Myers。
They taught Hassell what it took to play defense -- mainly a hard nose and a
hard head.
他們教導色狼什麼是防守的要訣 -- 最重要的就是要有打死不退的精神、堅忍不拔的
意志。
"They would always say, no matter how good a player is, he puts his pants on
just like you, one leg at a time," Hassell said, then smiled. "Or, two legs
at a time, depending on how much you're in a rush. That stuck with me. You
have to stick with it, stick through it. He might have 35 points on you, but
the last play, when you need a stop, you have to get it."
"他們總是說，不管是多傑出的球員，他跟你穿褲子的方式一樣，一次穿一隻腳，"色
狼說完跟著笑了。"或者，同時套上兩隻腳，完全依當時是否匆忙而定。那觀念深深影響了
我。你必須牢牢地記住並且融會貫通。他或許會在你的防守下獲得35分，但那最後一擊，
當你必須阻止他再進球，那你就得死命守住。"
According to teammate Mark Madsen, nobody watches more games than Hassell.
Wolves coach Dwane Casey said Hassell already has a good scouting report on
the player he'll be guarding before the coaches can hand one out.
根據其隊友瘋狗所說，沒有人看的球賽比色狼還多。灰狼總教練阿西說色狼在教練提
供情資前就已經對他將負責防守的對象有了相當深入的研究。
"You have to have a mental toughness about you, and you have to have mental
discipline, to stay with the situation," Casey said. "Most good defenders
I've been around have had that. Gary Payton was that way. And so is Trenton."
All that said, there will be nights when nothing works. You might slow
Iverson and McGrady, only to have Tony Parker or Bryant give you fits.
"你必須先做好一定強度的心理建設，並有自己訂定的一套準則，才能適應這樣的環境
，"阿西說。"我所相處過絕大部分的防守大鎖都是如此。手套是這樣，當然色狼也不例外
。"這麼說好了，你總會在某些夜晚遇上事先預習不管用的狀況。你或許必須在只有趴車小
弟或Kobe可供觀察的情況下去試圖降低AI和T-Mac的破壞力。
"You have to understand that some nights will be better than others," Hassell
said. "They're going to score. People might turn on Sports Center and see
your guy got 30, 35. What they don't see is the percentage, the shots they
take to get that. If you make 'em take 30 shots to get 30 points, you did
your job.
"你必須知道某些晚上的情形將會比其他幾個晚上好得多，"色狼說。"他們一定會得分
。人們或許會打開運動中心並且看到你防守的對象拿到30，甚至35分。但他們卻不會注意
命中率，他們到底出手了幾次才累積了這麼多分數。如果你迫使他們出手30次才得到30分
，那你就算是成功了。"
"My mentality is, I'm going to come in here and make this person play as hard
as they can, make them take tough shots. ... If I do that, I did my job."
"我的想法是，我上了場然後讓我負責防守的球員拿出他渾身解數，迫使他們在不好的
投籃時機出手。...如果我做到了，那我就算是成功了。"
