資料來源: http://nba.nbcsports.com/2017/02/17/timberwolves-owner-says-playoffs-priority -this-year/ MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves enter the All-Star break in 13th place in the muddled Western Conference, seemingly faced with two options. 以西區13順位之姿進入明星週的灰狼,在剩餘的賽季看似有著兩個選擇。 They can try to chase down the eighth seed and make the playoffs, with the Denver Nuggets just 3 1/2 games ahead of them. Or they could turn their eyes toward the lottery, either using a higher draft pick to add another talented young player or as an asset to move this summer in a quest for an accomplished veteran to complement a promising trio of young stars. 灰狼可以以西區第八種子作為目標,目前與老八丹佛金塊僅有3.5場勝差。或著灰狼可以 將目光轉往選秀。不論是在高順位樂透區再選進一位有天分的新人,或著將選秀作為 交易一位老將的籌碼。 For Wolves owner Glen Taylor, president and coach Tom Thibodeau and GM Scott Layden, there is no debate. 這個問題對於灰狼隊的老闆Glen Taylor以及教練兼GM的錫箔度而言,答案無庸置疑地一 致。 “We’re all of the same mind, to get in, get the experience,” Taylor told The Associated Press. “Just the winning of games to try to get there is worth it. Our guys can’t see anything positive about losing games. They must win games, and then if we can win enough to get into the playoffs, that in and of itself would be a major step for our young players.” 老闆Taylor告訴媒體"我和老席有著一致的想法,打進去,去取些經驗。輸球是不會給少年狼 任何正面的幫助的。他們必須去贏得比賽,如果我們能夠贏得足夠的勝利進入季後賽, 打進去季後賽本身對於少年狼來說便是巨大的一步。 The Timberwolves (22-35) have shrugged off a lousy start to show signs of improvement over the last 30 games, but there is an awful lot of work to do. Five teams are ahead of them in the race for a likely first-round date with the Golden State Warriors, and the young Wolves are still trying to get a firm grasp on Thibodeau’s defensive system. 最近的30場比賽中,灰狼已經擺脫糟糕的開季並顯示出進步;但仍有一狗票問題等著 解決。在灰狼的前頭有五支隊伍正在進爭與金州勇士進行第一輪的比賽;而我們的 少年狼仍在嘗試掌握錫箔度的防守系統。 Making it more daunting, Zach LaVine had surgery on a torn ACL on Tuesday and will miss the next nine months. That leaves 21-year-old Karl-Anthony Towns and 22-year-old Andrew Wiggins to carry the load, barring a trade before the Feb. 23 deadline. LaVine的ACL受傷(缺席至少9個...月T.T),讓整個競爭更讓人畏縮。 除非2/23前有所交易,不然剩下21歲的KAT以及22歲的AW將會來Carry這一切。(Rubio:...) In the last two games before the break – a loss to Cleveland and a win at Denver – Wiggins became the second player in franchise history to score at least 40 points in back-to-back games. Towns has solidified himself as one of the best young big men in the game, averaging 28.4 points and 11.4 rebounds in the seven games since LaVine was injured. 最近的兩場比賽,AW得到了B2B 40+分。而KAT自從LaVine受傷以來提升了他的數據至 場均28.4分11.4板。(Rubio:...) “We’re on the right path,” Wiggins said after the loss to the Cavs. “We’ ve done a lot of good things. There’s still some stuff everyone needs to work on, but we’ve done some good things.” AW在對騎士賽後表示"我們是在正確的道路上。我們做了很多正確的事情。當然還有許多 東西需要我們每個人去搞定,但我們已經做了許多正確的事情。 The Timberwolves are 11th in the league in offensive rating, but 23rd in defensive rating, a point of consternation for Thibodeau, who is known as one of the best defensive tacticians in the league. And a 6-18 start to the season put them in a deep hole. The Wolves are 11-9 in their last 20 games, but still on pace for about 31 wins, which would be just a two-win increase over last year’s team coached by Sam Mitchell. 灰狼在聯盟中進攻排名第11,但防守僅排第23。對於以防守聞名的錫箔度而言,這樣的 結果實在是令人相當驚愕。(Rubio:...) 6勝18負的慘開季使得灰狼在開季就先掉到谷底。即使最近20場比賽中取得了11勝, 但仍在往去年老山姆的31場勝利前進。因為目前成績不過比去年此時老山姆時期多個 兩場勝場~ “I thought with (Thibodeau’s) experience and his mentoring, it would push it along a little faster,” Taylor said. “And it hasn’t gone as fast as we hoped. But I appreciate that he’s looking at the long run. He came here to be the coach for the long run. We hired him for the long run. And we’ve got players that we anticipate will be here for a long time.” 老闆Taylor表示"我是站在錫箔度這邊的,我贊同他的經驗以及指導方式。雖然進步 沒有我們設想的快,但我認為錫箔度有著不錯的長遠計畫,我們也是因為長遠的計畫 雇用了他,畢竟我們已經有了一些為了長遠計畫的球員。" While disappointed in the win total, Taylor said he was bullish on the direction of the franchise. 儘管對於總勝場數有些失望,Taylor仍舊表示樂觀。 “I’m happy with my coach. I’m happy with the general manager. They’re being very patient working through this,” Taylor said. “On the other side, I was hopeful that we would have more wins.” Tayor又說"錫箔度真的讚,教得好管理的也好。他非常地有耐心處理這一切,我對 我們的勝場數充滿樂觀~~" The one thing that appears to be missing is a strong, veteran, defensive-minded presence to hold things together when the young guys either get too excited or lose focus. 灰狼或許還欠缺一位防守意識強韌的老將,一位可以將少年狼過於興奮或失去專注時 抓起來鞭的老將。(KG:....?) “I know the guys will look at other alternatives, but I also know them well enough that they aren’t going to do something foolish,” Taylor said of the looming trade deadline. “They aren’t going to do something that would hurt the team in the long run just to make us look good in the short run. This is a long-run game for all of us. Taylor談到關於交易大限"眼光要放遠~我明白我們的團隊會尋求一些機會。但我非常了 解他們不是短視近利的笨蛋。一切都要為了長遠的計劃做打算。" Taylor has thrown millions into a new practice facility that opened two years ago and a renovation to Target Center that began before the season started. He has also added two minority owners to strengthen his financial position, hired a new CEO in Ethan Casson and has been pleased with the developments on the business side of his operations. Taylor已經花了數百萬元打造了新的球館並重新裝潢了主場。他也加了兩位財務小老板, 還雇用了新的CEO,對於球隊的管理及發展尚感到滿意。 “They can see I’m committed for the long run and we’re making investments back into the team and building for the long run,” Taylor said. “I think we ’ve done all of those things. The only thing that hasn’t lived up to our expectations is the number of wins I would’ve hoped we’d have to this point. ” Taylor表示"大家都知道我一切的投資及支持都是為了球隊長遠的計畫。萬事具備了, 接下來就剩勝場數了。" -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 223.140.50.221 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Timberwolves/M.1487400994.A.90B.html ※ 編輯: d34567 (223.140.50.221), 02/18/2017 15:05:49
