https://goo.gl/BWpLhv Jimmy Butler was asked what the team’s focus was prior to its inter-squad scrimmage Friday night at Target Center, just five days ahead of its regular season finale at San Antonio. 队内分组对抗赛在标靶中心开打前夕，Jimmy Butler 被问到哪个环节是球队该留意的。 He didn’t hesitate with his answer. 他不假思索地回应。 “Defense,” he said. “Transition. Making sure we’re impacting the ball, ball pressure, weak side, all of the stuff that comes with defense, we need to lock in on that more than anything.” 「防守。」他回答。「攻守转换间，确保我们有对持球者压迫，以及弱边协防。所有事 情都与防守有关，我们必须放更多专注力在上面。」 Butler suggested it’ll be a while before that completely sets in. It’s not going to be easy, he said. After all, this is a Wolves team that was in the bottom five in defensive efficiency last season. Butler 认为一切要完全步上轨道仍需要时间，不是件容易的工作。毕竟，这支球队在上 一季的团队防守效率落在全联盟倒数五名。 “Guys have got to want to do it,” Butler said. “They’ve got to get pissed off when they get scored on or when weak-side (help) isn’t there when they’re supposed to be. I think it’s going to take a little bit to click in, but hopefully sooner rather than later.” 「这需要大家全心投入其中。」Butler 说。「当被对手轻松取分，或是该有弱边协防并 没到位，我们应该要感到愤怒。我想队友间彼此契合还需要一阵子，但希望能越快越好。 」 Some of Minnesota’s younger players suggested the Wolves were ahead of where they’d been in the past defensively during training camp, but a 142-110 loss to Golden State in Minnesota’s preseason finale in China punched a few holes in that theory. 几名阵中年轻球员认为团队防守磨合进度已超出预期，但在热身赛最终战以大比分败给 勇士队後，这说法又受到挑战。 There’s been a lot of talk about Minnesota’s offense heading into this season. The Wolves figure to have four or five scorers on the court at a time this season. Points could be plentiful. But that won’t matter if Minnesota can ’t get a stop. 迎接新赛季，很多讨论都放在灰狼队的进攻。有办法同时间摆上四或五名进攻手在场上 ，但若无法挡下对手，也是白忙一场。 “Scoring is not going to be our problem, it’s not,” Butler said. “We can’t sit here and try to score opposing teams, because as well as we can put the ball in the basket, there are teams that can put the ball in the basket much better than we can.” 「把球放进篮框不会是问题，绝对不是。」Butler 说道。「我们不能只留意进攻，因为 当你拥有强大进攻火力，势必有球队会用更加强大进攻来回击。」 Such as Golden State. 例如勇士队。 “I’m actually glad it happened,” Butler said of the blowout loss. “As well as we played the first game (against Golden State) and guarded and moved the ball, it didn’t happen the second game, and you see how things can get out of hand very, very quickly. You learn from it, you don’t want it to happen again. That’s embarrassing, obviously. But we studied that and we know what we have to do.” 「我其实很乐意见到。」Butler 谈到热身赛败给勇士队。「对比与勇士队碰头的第一战 ，那样的防守以及球的转移，在第二战都没看到，如同赛况很轻易就失控。你要从中学习 ，不要再重蹈覆辙。显然那场赛事令人难堪，但让我们上了一课，而且我们晓得接下来该 做什麽事。」 --- JB登高一呼，要改变年轻球员对球赛的态度。 --
