In the absence of Ricky Rubio and Kevin Love, the Wolves benefit from the intangibles brought by Dante Cunningham and Lou Amundson. 在蓝领工头Rubio与球队主力Love连诀缺席下，球队将要在Dante Cunningham与 Lou Amundson这两个特别令人难以定义的球员身上去取得到帮助。 If there ever were a time the Timberwolves needed to be lifted up and carried by a pair of players coach Rick Adelman calls "energy guys," this is it. 当球队在这种患难时节要被立即撑负的时刻里，这两位球员的潇洒登场也让 Adelman给了他们这样的称呼─ENERGY GUY。 Kevin Love unexpectedly is gone until at least Thanksgiving, and transformational point guard Ricky Rubio, of course, might not play until sometime approaching Christmas. 首先Kevin Love与Ricky Rubio都需要一些时间才能回归。 Two of the players to whom Adelman now turns are forwards Dante Cunningham and Lou Amundson, who, together, couldn't be expected to provide Love's 26 points and 13 rebounds -- but they will be asked to provide all the other things you can't quantify on a stat sheet. 而这两位好小子大概不会被要求去像Love般每场提供着26分13板的东西，但是他们 却必须要在其他方面给予球队有幅度的帮助。 You might define an "energy guy" as someone who will sacrifice his body and his statistical line for the collective good of the team. 像是这样愿意供应肉体并且不记名份的人，我们可以称这些是为"Energy Guy"。 Sometimes, it also can be code for a guy who can't score a lick. 不过有时得分不是很上手的球员似乎也是被如此编译着。 Cunningham says he knows exactly what Adelman means with the tag, and is happy to be given it. 对於"总教头"Adelman给予的污名，喔不，应该说是一种对这类球员的赞美， Cunningham听到之後对此表示很乐意接受这样的名称。 But shouldn't everybody be an energy guy? 但是难道不应该是每位球员都变成"Energy Guy"吗？ "I like to say there's definitely a select few guys who love to hit the floor, who, if it comes down to it, love to put their blood on the floor," Cunningham said. Cunningham：「这必须要是愿意对社会对世界愿意有所贡献而不求回报的 才有办法胜任。」 "If my blood is on the floor, I'm having a good time out there." Funny way to define good times, but you get the idea. Cunningham, a second-round pick in the 2009 draft, played for three franchises in his first four seasons and pushed for a trade from Memphis last summer in search, at age 25, of a larger role. 2009年第二轮被选到，在4年里经历了3支球队，是经由交易来到灰狼队， 现在他将要担当更大的任务。 He will get that now, at least until All-Star forward Love recovers from his broken right hand. Cunningham将会在Love归来前用尽一切心力去守护着这只球队。 "He wasn't satisfied where he played and wanted to come to a team like us to get a chance to play," Wolves owner Glen Taylor said, "and he's probably going to get more chance to play now than he anticipated." Taylor：「他想要机会与在此证明自己，这次看来他将会得到更多的机会。」 Amundson has played for six teams in his six NBA seasons. He was the last player the Wolves signed before training camp, a 29-year-old veteran they sought to fulfill a specific role defending power forwards and center off the bench. Amundson是灰狼最後开的一帖良药，他们要更一步补足在大前锋与中锋位上 的防守强度。 "It's definitely a role, something you try to provide," Amundson said. "It's a long NBA season, and there's a time in every game when the play lags a little bit and you need some energy, some tempo infused into the game. Amundson：「比赛中有一些许时刻的节奏会被打得有点滞乱，这时你特别需要 来一瓶"Energy Guy"去给球队带来能量与活络。 ''I try to bring that on both sides on the ball. Offensively, I try to run, pick tempo up there. Defensively, I just really try to pressure the ball. Amundson：「在进攻上，我会不断run and run and run，让攻击更加顺畅， 在防守上，我会不断施加压力在对手的球权 ，不让他们的攻击能有所顺遂。 "Basically I'm just out there trying to do everything I can to speed up the game and bring energy every night." Amundson：「我的目的只有一个，就是不断的溢注动力让球队更好。」 Cunningham blocked six shots in a game at Indiana, the most by a Wolves player in the preseason since Eddie Griffin had six in 2005. He can defend both forward positions and has a midrange shooting game that Adelman says is often overlooked. 自从2005年的Eddie Griffin(默哀10分钟)以来就没有任何一位球员能像 Cunnungham一样能在季前赛轰出一共六只火锅的纪录，Adelman也说着这位球员 不仅如此他还能看守好对手的双锋，而且在攻击上他的中距离能力也常常被人忽略。 Amundson defends both power forward and center spots and in one preseason sequence, blocked Chicago forward Taj Gibson's attempted dunk at one end of the floor and scored on an athletic putback dunk at the other end in mere seconds, his best highlight clip with the Wolves so far. Amundson在一场比赛中不仅被放去防守着对方的大前锋也有防守着对方的中锋， ，他更在几秒内完成了敲下Gibson灌篮的火锅後马上迅速的在进攻端补灌得分 的精采镜头。 Adelman mentions both players and reserve center Greg Stiemsma in the same breath when he mentions players who provide those qualities you can't quantify statistically. Adelman也提到Greg Stiemsma也是那种.........球员。 "They just do the little things," Adelman said. "They don't give up on the offensive boards at all. They're always going to them. We've had so many loose balls out on the floor that those guys have run down that we didn't do before." Adelman：「"他们不会放弃任何能抢到进攻篮板的机会，无论哪一颗强脱的球 都像是他们渴求的猎物一般存在着，尽管他们做的只是一些小事，但却是我们一直 所欠缺的一件事。」 The Wolves acquired both Cunningham and Amundson, in essence to replace frontcourt players Michael Beasley, Darko Milicic and Anthony Randolph, all of whom either left the team or were told to leave and signed as free agents with other teams. 这两位球员将会要代替掉Michael Beasley、Darko Milicic与Anthony Randolph 的前场控缺。 The new additions by all accounts provide what the others didn't before. 他们将给予球队前所未有的体验。 "We had guys who were talented and had abilities, but we didn't have guys who knew exactly what they wanted to get out of themselves on the floor and knew what they were capable of and knew their role," Love said. Love：「过去我们的球队充满着令人惊叹的才能与天份，不过我们缺乏着 在场上能在球队的一些缺漏做出贡献与懂得自我角色的球员。」 "The fact that those guys just want to win, that's going to help us tremendously. We had guys last year willing to make sacrifices, but not all the way. Love：「事实是那些球员们想要去获得胜利，这定会大幅帮助着球队，我们 去年就有很多愿意去做出牺牲，but not all the way。」 "It can't just be down the middle. It has to be one way or the other, and these guys are all in." Love：「不能太多球员都做着同样的事情，必须要各司其职才是，而现在这些球员 愿意如此做着。」 --
