'D' is for Davis? Apparently Davis的D是指防守？现在似乎是的 You would expect any calling card the Timberwolves' Ricky Davis would carry would include something to the effect of, "Have basketball, will shoot" printed on it. 你可以预期到，在灰狼Ricky Davis的使用说明内，印着以下的字眼，「当拿到篮球时， 就会投篮。」 But in recent games, as teams have worked to push him out of the offensive mix, Davis has contributed the most by playing strong defense and passing the ball. 但是在这几场比赛，当他没有办法融入球队的进攻时，Davis用好的防守和传球来做出贡 献。 Casey said he has seen a marked jump in Davis' defense starting with the Nov. 25 game with the Clippers, when Davis asked for and got the assignment of covering Sam Cassell in the fourth quarter. Cassell, on fire most of that game, was doused as the Wolves staged an impressive fourth-quarter comeback. Casey说他认为当Davis在11月25日对快艇比赛的第四节，主动要求去防守Sam Cassell的 成绩，是最明显的例子。大半场比赛都处於火力全开状态的Cassell，被Davis浇熄後，灰 狼打出了让人惊讶的第四节逆转秀。 In the Wolves' victory over Houston on Wednesday, Davis made only one of seven shots, but he had seven rebounds and nine assists while playing strong defense. 在星期三对火箭的胜利中，Davis只有投7中1，但是他展现强力的防守，外带7个篮板和9 次助攻。 "It's been my focus this year," said Davis, who scored 21 points in the Wolves' 110-103 victory over Utah on Friday night. "Last year, with the groin injury, I didn't play defense as well. I'm trying to round my game. If I'm 1-for-7, I have to do other things. I feel myself growing and maturing as a player." 「这是我今年专注的目标，」在星期五晚上灰狼以110-103取胜爵士一役拿下21分的Davis 说。「去年因为鼠蹊部受伤，我没有做出很好的防守。我试着每场比赛都要有贡献。如果 我只投7中1，我必须做些其他的事来帮助球队。我觉得我自己正在成长和成为一名成熟的 球员。」 Etc. An MRI on Mark Madsen's right shoulder confirmed that it had popped out of joint during some physical play Wednesday. But it showed no other significant damage, Madsen said. Still, he did not play Friday against Utah and might not make the trip to Chicago. Mark Madsen的右肩MRI报告显示星期三的一些碰撞play有些影响。但是Madsen说并没有其 他明显的伤势。仍然，他星期五没有上场对爵士，而且也许不会和球队一起去Chicago。 KENT YOUNGBLOOD --
