Rookie Kelan Martin's big night helps Timberwolves defeat Jazz By Chris Hine NOVEMBER 19, 2019 — 12:49AM SALT LAKE CITY – After the Timberwolves’ 112-102 victory over Utah on Monday night, the last three players in the locker room were Karl-Anthony Towns, Rob ert Covington and Kelan Martin. 盐湖城－在星期一晚上灰狼以112-102赢下犹他爵士後，最後还留在休息室的球员有唐诗 、RoCo，和Kelan Martin。 Towns and Covington took the opportunity to let the rookie know that postgame dinner and drinks were on him — and they were going to order the expensive st uff. Towns looked at Martin’s shoes, concluded they were new and surmised tha t Martin’s checks must be clearing. Welcome to the NBA, Kelan Martin. 唐诗和RoCo把握机会带着菜鸟去薛他一顿晚餐，而且他们一定会点最贵的东西。唐诗看了 看Martin的全新球鞋，推测他的新秀支票已经进到户头了。 欢迎来到NBA，Kelan Martin。 The undrafted rookie out of Butler was all smiles as he took the ribbing in st ride. He had just completed the best game of his young career, going 6-for-7 f or 14 points, with seven coming in the final quarter as the Wolves pulled away from the Jazz. 这个从巴特勒斗牛犬队来的落选秀开心的大口吃着肋排。他刚打完了他新秀生涯最棒的一 场比赛，7投6中并获得了14分，其中7分还是在第四节获得，帮助灰狼在末节把分差给拉 开。 “I’ve seen the open lane, so I just try to shoot my floaters like I’ve usua lly been doing,” Martin said. “The past couple of games I haven’t been knoc king down threes or whatever, so I just wanted to be aggressive getting to the basket. That opened my game up more.” “我看到了空档，所以我就是试了下我平常就在使用的抛投。” Martin说。 “过去的几场比赛我没有投进任何一球，所以我就想要积极的进攻篮框。这个举动也打开 了我的比赛。” It had been a slow start to Martin’s NBA career — he was only 4-for-18 in th e three games he played before Monday. But those shooting woes went away, espe cially in the fourth quarter. It started when he nailed a corner three on an a ssist from Jeff Teague. Martin的NBA生涯起步得很慢，他在礼拜一的比赛以前，在三分线後仅留下了18投4中的成 绩。但这些投射方面的问题好像直接消失了，由其是在第四节，从他在底角接到来自茶哥 的助攻并投进之後。 Teague is no stranger to Martin, who worked out at Teague’s gym in Indianapol is over the summer. Teague reflected the rest of the Wolves in saying he knew Martin could have a night like this. 茶哥对Martin非常熟悉，Martin在茶哥位於印第安纳波利斯的训练馆待了一个暑假。茶哥 在休息室的谈话也提到他相信Martin可以做出这样的表现。 “I just know him. I know he’s a knockdown shooter,” Teague said. “He might ’ve missed some in the last couple of games and fans didn’t know, people don ’t know [he’s a shooter]. They haven’t seen him. But we know around here. T here’s a reason he’s up here. There’s a reason he plays and he can shoot th e basketball.” “我对他很熟悉，他就是一个稳定的射手。”茶哥说。 “他可能开始的几场比赛会投失一些球，而粉丝和大众都不知道（他是个射手）。他们没 有看过他，但当我们看看这一切，这说明了Martin为何在这边。他可以在这打球是有原因 的，他可以投篮。” Martin was a 35% three-point shooter for his career at Butler and he impressed the Wolves in summer league by shooting 49% there. That helped earn him a two -way contract with the Wolves — meaning he can spend a maximum of 45 days on the NBA roster, with the bulk of his time in the G League — and some minutes while Andrew Wiggins has been out and after Jake Layman exited Monday’s game because of a left foot injury. Martin在巴特勒斗牛队的生涯三分命中率为35%，但他在夏季联盟中以49%的三分命中率让 球队留下了深刻的印象。这也帮助了他赢得了灰狼的双向合约，意味着他能最多能在NBA 出赛45天和在发展联盟打球。还能在围巾奔丧和laylay左脚扭伤的同时替球队分摊一些时 间。 Martin could see more action Wednesday, in a rematch with Utah at Target Cente r. Layman is listed as doubtful while Wiggins (illness) and Josh Okogie (left knee soreness) are questionable to play. Martin将有机会在标把中心和犹他的比赛中获得更多机会。Laylay的伤势不明，且围巾（ 生病）和乌骨机（左膝酸痛）都不确定能不能上场。 Towns said Martin, a 6-5 forward, has one of the best shots on the team. “We knew he’s a bona fide scorer, and a shooter especially. He’s the most f undamental shot we have on this team,” Towns said. “I always call him fundam ental. He reminds me of Jamal Crawford. He only needs to see one go in and he ’s hot.” 唐诗谈到Martin，这个6尺5寸的前锋，队伍里投射能力最好的球员之一。 “我们知道他是一个货真价实的得分手，且绝对是个射手。他有着全队最标准的投射姿势 。”唐诗说。”我总是叫他基本功哥。他总是让我想起Jamal Crawford，他只需要投进一 颗球就可以进入状况。” Martin said he had no second thoughts about taking his shots. “I got my confidence back,” Martin said. “I never really lost it, but I got a game under my belt and now I just feel good.” Martin谈到他的投射时，提到了他的自信。 “我就是有自信。”Martin说。”我从来没有失去他，但我拿下了一场比赛，这让我感觉 满好的。” Martin employed an effective weapon he has in his arsenal — his floater. Twic e in the fourth quarter Martin drove the lane, saw center Rudy Gobert there an d pulled up in front of him, nailing those floaters. He has also been adjustin g to how the Wolves want him to shoot. At Butler, he said the ball was in his hands a lot. Now, he is shooting more catch-and-shoot threes, like the one he hit from Teag ue in the fourth. Martin的武器库里还有一项很有效的武器－他的抛投。第四节里有两次Martin持球切入， 在看到Rudy Gobert在他面前後，随即在他面前出手，并投进了那些抛投。他也配合着灰 狼想要他的方式调整了他的投篮模式。而在巴特勒斗牛队时，他说他经常持球。 现在他则出手更多C&S的三分球，就像他在第四节时接到茶哥助攻投进的那球。 If Martin can emerge, he could be a significant find for President Gersson Ros as. To coach Ryan Saunders, his signing is already paying dividends. The short handed Wolves were in danger of falling to 7-7 with a three-game losing streak . Instead they moved to 8-6 and handed the Jazz their first home defeat all se ason, with Martin playing an important role. 如果Martin打得出来，他就会是Rosas挖宝行动的巨大成功。对小桑而言，Rosas签的几名 球员已经开始有了回报。人手不足的灰狼在三连败後，在陷入7胜7败的危机中，由於Mart in的好表现，也帮助了灰狼让爵士吞下主场的第一败，获得目前8胜6败的成绩。 “He was in Iowa a few days ago and he stayed ready, ready for his opportunity …” Saunders said. “Huge credit to Gersson and the front office this summer in that find because it definitely helped us win a game.” “他前几天都还在爱荷华，而他现在准备好了，准备好把握他的机会。”小桑说。 “非常感谢Rosas和制服组在这个夏天的努力，这很大程度的帮助了我们赢下比赛。” 网址： http://www.startribune.com/rookie-kelan-martin-s-big-night-helps-timberwolves- defeat-jazz/565139832/ 心得： Martin的奋斗给了我不少热情，让我在最近忙碌的期间还是勉强挤出了一点时间帮忙翻译 XD 要是Martin可以继续这样的全能表现，持续成长，或许可以成为1、2号的主要轮替甚至先 发，超期待的！ 也从rosas、新制服组、小桑身上看到了球队未来的希望，好感人 呜呜 --
