http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/119668644.html?page=1&c=y 這篇沒有翻譯只有心得 Have they given up on themselves and quit on their coach? "I wouldn't say that, no," Wolves guard Wayne Ellington said. "That's a big statement right there. I wouldn't say that. We're all just fighting. It has been a really tough season for everybody. It's hard, man. It's hard to go through seasons like this. "I wouldn't say that at all. I feel like we're all just fighting, pushing it out. It's real tough right now." 只能說記者很敢問，但 Ellington 是好人。 --- They showed passion Monday, when they led by as many as 12 points and still led by six midway through the fourth quarter. But they watched victory slip away yet again because they couldn't defend the three-point once again, couldn't make a free throw when they needed it most and couldn't get their hands on a crucial rebound. And after they couldn't quite do all that, their frustrations came bubbling out when Michael Beasley gestured angrily and screamed at teammate Anthony Tolliver as it all came unraveled in the final minute of overtime. 同樣問題從開季以來，已經發生N次了，猛然驚覺球季已經進入尾聲，但仍然不見改善。到底什麼原因，請 Rambis 出來解釋一下。每次都用我們還太嫩就帶過了，球員也只能把委屈往肚裡吞。到底是球員太嫩，還是主帥無能？難道渴求這種小地方的進步都太奢侈？越打越退步正常嗎？ --- Beasley scored 26 points -- 16 of them in the fourth quarter -- but he missed a free throw and failed to convert a three-point play that would have given the Wolves a one-point lead with 8.4 seconds left in regulation time. "It hurts, especially for me," he said after his team lost its 14th consecutive game. "I could have won the game with a free throw. It's definitely going to haunt me at night, but that's how it goes." Beasley 錯失掉三分打的加罰，他很自責。 --- The Wolves haven't won since beating Utah convincingly at home on March 11. Their 17 victories are two more than they won last season, a meager improvement that could cost coach Kurt Rambis his job after the season's final game is played Wednesday against Houston at Target Center. Wolves owner Glen Taylor said recently that any such decisions will be made when the season is over. 老闆最近有提到，教練是否更換，球季結束後就會有答案。 --- "We definitely still believe in ourselves," Ellington said in the Wolves' locker room the other day. "Like I said, it has been a very tough season for all of us. It's at the point where we're just grinding it out. We all love each other. You hear guys over there joking around with each other. ... It's just been a tough season on the floor." 根據 Ellington 的說法，休息室內氣氛還算可以，但這是難熬的球季。 --- The Wolves are finishing the season without All-Star forward Kevin Love, who on Monday missed his eighth game in the past 10 because of a groin injury. "We were on a losing streak with Kevin," Beasley said. "I don't think anybody has given up on anybody. I know I haven't. I can't speak for the whole team. I know guys here still want to win. I know guys still play hard. We just can't win." 感受得到 Beasley 話中的沮喪，難過...。剩下最後一場球了，加油吧！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.115.221.184
