※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之铭言： : http://www.startribune.com/511/story/923799.html : Timberwolves big man Craig Smith probably hasn't hit the so-called rookie : wall yet, which mostly is a good thing for the wall. : Actually, being burly and able to bang small walls into piles of bricks is no : guarantee a first-year player won't run out of gas or face adjustments at : some point in the NBA season. 灰狼队大个Craig Smith应该还没撞到所谓的"菜鸟墙"，这对於墙是件好事。 事实上，即使如此强壮，也不保证一位一年级生并不会开始疲乏，或者是需要去面对 适应NBA。 : The rookie wall, that figurative barrier that stands between fresh legs and : rubber ones, between unbridled enthusiasm and the glassy-eyed stare of : fatigue, typically kicks in later and affects new guys logging the heaviest : minutes. Smith has appeared in each of the Wolves' 32 games, averaging 17 : minutes. That's about half of what he played last season for Boston College, : when he totaled 1,305 minutes in 36 games. 所谓的"菜鸟墙"让NBA新球员们经历了难熬的时间。Smith在灰狼出赛了32场，平均每场 17分钟。这只是当年他在Boston大学打球时上场时间的一半而已。他在Boston大学 参与的36场比赛之中，总共上场1,305分钟。 : "It's a big adjustment coming from college," Smith said. "You don't have : back-to-back games there. You have a day or two off. As far as the traveling, : too, it's kind of hard moving from city to city, coming home for one night : and then the next night, you might not even be in the country -- you're in : Canada. That wear and tear is pretty tough." Smith说:"这是一个很需要去适应的事情当你从大学进入了NBA。在大学没有所谓的 连续比赛，你会有一到两天的休息。长征也是一个难题，辛苦的从一个城市到另一个城市 ，好不容易回到家一晚，结果下一晚你已经在加拿大了，这些折磨非常难去克服" : Maybe that's what Smith is dealing with lately. Maybe it's the switch back to : the leather basketball, which Smith never had used. 或许是这些原因，又或许是因为换回了Smith从未用过的牛皮球。 : Whatever the reason, in four January games the rookie has averaged only 2.5 : points, compared with 6.2 in December and 8.3 in November. His stint against : Houston on Sunday lasted only 11 minutes because of three quick fouls. : And yet, Smith's only real dropoff -- based on his production per minute -- : has come in scoring. Before the Wolves' current hot streak -- 7-2 over the : past nine games -- Smith averaged one point every 2.34 minutes, one rebound : every 3.59 minutes and one foul every 6.77 minutes. Starting with the Dec. 23 : victory at Indiana, his numbers have been one point every 4.21 minutes, one : rebound every 3.56 minutes and one foul every 6.62 minutes. 无论原因是什麽，相对於Smith在十一月和十二月的平均得分8.3分和6.2分，在一月的 四场赛事中，他每场平均只有2.5分。在星期天和火箭队的比赛中，他只上场的11分钟 因为三个快速的犯规。在灰狼现在如此火热(过去9场赛事中，7胜2败)之前，Smith 平均2.34分钟得到一分，3.59分钟一篮板，6.77分钟一犯规。从12月23号在印第安那得到 胜利开始，他的数据是4.21分钟一分，3.56分钟一篮板，6.62分钟一犯规。 : So, even if Smith has lengthened his typical gameday nap from 90 minutes to 2 : ? hours to get enough rest, he senses that opponents have scouted him more : thoroughly now. No more sneaking up on people as a second-round pick lugging : few expectations. 所以，即使当Smith将他的特有的小憩时间延长以获得充足的休息，他感觉到他的对手 把他探查的更彻底了。 : "I think they're playing me a little more physical, especially boxing me off : of rebounds," Smith said. : Coach Dwane Casey offered one more explanation for Smith's lessened impact. : "Craig right now is a victim of Mark Blount playing really well," he said. : "That's cut his minutes." Smith说:"我想他们使用更多的身体上的冲撞对付我，特别是在抢篮板时把我卡开"。 教练Dwane Casey对於Smith数据的下降提供了另一个解释。"Craig现在是Mark Blount 表现良好下的牺牲品"，Casey说，"这削减了他上场的时间"。 : Garnett West's best : Kevin Garnett was named the Western Conference player of the week Monday, his : first weekly honor this season and the 15th in his 12-year career. Garnett : averaged 27.5 points on 48.8 percent shooting, hit 85.4 percent of his free : throws, grabbed 14.5 rebounds and dished 5.0 assists per game to help the : Wolves to a 4-0 mark. Kevin Garnett 在星期一被颁与上星期西区联盟最有价值球员，这是他这球季第一个 星期制的奖项，也是他12年生涯中的第15个。Ganett以平均27.5分，48.8%投篮命中率， 85.4%罚球命中率，14.5个篮板，5次的助攻，帮助灰狼队拿下四连胜。 : Sounds like hockey : While Marko Jaric's splint on his sprained right thumb enabled him to play 22 : minutes Sunday against Houston, Casey said that "everybody in the world on : the opposing team knows where to hit him." Jaric missed all four of his : field-goal attempts but shot 2-for-4 with the makeshift glove against : Philadelphia. 当Marko Jaric 固定他扭伤的右拇指，让他在礼拜天对火箭队的比赛中上场了22分钟， Casey说，"每一个对手都知道该攻击他哪里"。Jaric投了四球都没中，但是对76ers的 比赛中，他带着临时的手套得到了4投2中的成绩。 --
