http://www.startribune.com/511/story/1031829.html Randy Wittman figures he's got nothing to lose. After three losses in four games since the All-Star break, the Timberwolves coach mixed and matched, tinkered and analyzed during a scrimmage-heavy practice Thursday. By his own admission, he's searching for something that will get his team to click, and changing his rotation might be the way to do it. 阿曼教练了解到--他没有可以输的了。在混乱而沉重的星期四练习中，灰狼的总教练针 对明星赛周之後一胜三败的成绩绞尽脑汁的思考分析。他自己承认，他正努力想出一个 办法可以让他的队伍回到正轨，并想出一个好的轮替模式。 "We looked at different combinations of players playing together," Wittman said. "I'm not going to lie to you -- we have to look at it." "我们让球员们尝试了各种不同的队形组合，"阿曼说，"我不打算骗你--我们必须找出 那个(胜利方程式)。" The Wolves (26-31) are only two games out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference. There was a time when winning the division was a goal. That might not be possible anymore, but a playoff spot is. 灰狼队距离西区季後赛席位只有两场比赛的胜差。有段时间，赢得分区冠军是全队的目 标--这件事情也许已经无望了，但要进入季後赛还是大有可为的。 "I think winning the division is out of the picture," Ricky Davis said. "I think we're shooting to get that sixth, seventh, eighth spot. But we've got to win games before we start thinking about playoffs." RD说"我想要分区冠军已经不包含在我们这季的目标里了，我想我们现在瞄准的是西区 第六、第七或第八的位置。但是在我们开始思考季後赛这件事情之前，我们必须先赢 球。" Wittman wasn't promising startling changes, or even changes to the starting lineup. But he does want to figure out a way for his team to get out of the blocks better; the Wolves have been ahead after the first quarter only three times since Wittman took over as coach in Jan. 23. 阿曼并没有承诺任何跌破眼镜的改变，甚至没有说要改变先发阵容。但他真的想要找出 一个让全队摆脱这场困境的方法。自从一月23号阿曼接手总教头的职位之後，灰狼队只 有三场比赛在打完第一节时是领先的。 "It's not always the guys starting the game," Wittman said. "It's the guys coming off the bench. I'm going to start looking at different combinations of guys, in practice, in games. Right now, the combinations aren't consistently working together." "让比赛动起来的不一定都是那些人，"阿曼说，"有时候是从板凳席上开始的。我会开始 看看有没有什麽不一样的组合，不管是练习时或是比赛时。现在而言，这些组合并不很 一贯的有很好的合作。"(这段看不太懂@@ 请帮忙) Wittman challenged the players not in the starting lineup to play well enough to force their way into his rotation. So far, that hasn't happened. 阿曼还没用上"先发阵容的改变"这招来要求球员们有更好的表现。至少目前为止还没。 Still, given his intention to look at different groups of players, it figures that guard Troy Hudson and forward Justin Reed -- both of whom have played little of late -- would be in line for some minutes as Wittman searches for the right mix. 但他还是表现出他想看看不同球员组合的意愿。而这让他发现了炸弹和Reed--两个人最近 都没什麽上场时间--他们两个将会有比较多的上场时间，只要阿曼找出一个正确的组合。 "That's all you can do," Wittman said. "I search myself, how I might be doing things, preparing them. Maybe I have to look at preparing differently." "这就是你能做的，"阿曼说，"我找寻自己，我可能会怎麽做，并把这些做法准备好。或 许我该从不同角度来准备。" During practice, Wittman looked at a smaller lineup that included Hudson playing with Kevin Garnett. He also looked at a grouping with most of the team's healthy big men. Wittman, though, wasn't about to tip his hand. But for a team that has struggled so mightily on the road, salvaging a victory tonight against the Jazz -- which would give them a 2-3 homestand -- is key. 练习的时候，阿曼尝试了一组较矮的阵容，包括炸弹和老大。他也尝试了另一组几乎包括 全队健康的高个儿的阵容。就算这样，阿曼还是没有下任何一个决定。但对於一个在客场 连战中挣扎的如此辛苦的球队而言，夺得今晚对爵士的胜利--这让他们来到两胜三败的成 绩--会是关键。 Said Trenton Hassell: "We're still finding ourselves, and it's too late in the season to be doing that. We still believe we can get it done. We just have to do it." 色狼说"我们仍然在寻找的自己的极限，但是球季到现在还在做这件事已经太晚了。我们仍 然相信我们做得到，只要我们去做就是了。 --
