LOS ANGELES – Two days after the NBA regular season ended,
Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards gathered the team together
before their first practice in preparation for their series
against the Lakers. He had a message for them, according to point
guard Mike Conley.
在例行赛结束後两天,灰狼队後卫 Anthony Edwards 在团队备战对阵湖人队
系列赛的首次练球前召集了全队。根据控球後卫 Mike Conley 的说法,他向
队友们传达了一个讯息。
“Just saying how, ‘This ain’t gonna be good enough, what we
were doing at that time. Our ability to turn a switch on and off
is not going to be there, so we have to be locked in and ready to
go, and it starts in that practice,’” Conley said Edwards told
the team. “To have that awareness to say those things at his age
is very important, and it gave us a good springboard into the
postseason.”
「他只是说,『我们还不够好。那种想专注就专注、想放松就放松的能力不
再适用,所以我们必须全神贯注,准备就绪,而这一切都从这次训练开始,
』」Conley 提到 AE 告诉球队。「以他这个年纪能有这种意识并说出这些话
非常重要,这给了我们进入季後赛一个良好的助力。」
The Wolves have kept that message in mind since that day, and now
they are one win away from knocking out LeBron James, Luka Doncic
and the Lakers in Game 5 in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
从那天起,球队就一直牢记着这个讯息,现在他们距离淘汰 LeBron James、
Luka Doncic 和湖人队只差一场胜利。
By their own admission, the Wolves are a team that thrives when
their backs are against a wall and people doubt them, so how do
they keep that mindset when they are up 3-1 in the best-of-seven
series and heavily favored to advance?
灰狼队自己也承认,他们是一支被逼到墙角、受人们质疑时反而能表现出色
的球队,那麽当他们在七战四胜制的系列赛中以 3-1 领先,并被广泛看好晋
级时,他们如何保持这种心态应战呢?
“We don’t have any choice,” forward Julius Randle said. “We
haven’t done anything. We’ve won three games, which is great,
but we got one more to finish the job for this series and got to
keep moving on. We played good basketball up until this point, but
we’re not done.”
「我们别无选择。」前锋 Julius Randle 说。「我们还没有完成任何事情。
赢了三场比赛,这很棒,但还需要再一胜才能完结这个系列赛,我们不能停
下脚步。到目前为止,我们打出了不错的篮球,但还没有结束。」
Coach Chris Finch said the Wolves focused in Tuesday’s practice
on some things that got a little “loose” in their game plan
execution in Game 4. It’s good for the Wolves that they have some
things to work on instead of thinking they played a perfect game.
They have also tried to keep in mind what the general consensus
was coming into the series as motivation up 3-1.
教练 Chris Finch 表示,灰狼队在周二的训练着重在第四战战术执行方面有
些「松散」的地方。对球队来说,有需要改进的地方是好事,而不是认为他
们打了一场完美的比赛。他们也试着牢记系列赛开始前人们普遍的看法,以
此作为他们在 3-1 领先下的动力。
As Edwards said after Game 4: “I told them it’s going to be the
toughest game that we’ve played all season, all series, because
everyone is going to be against us. It’s going to be 300,000
people and then the Timberwolves, players and then the coaches and
then the organization that travels. … Back against the wall in
enemy territory. These are the moments that we should live for —
going on the road and trying to close a team out.”
正如 Edwards 在第四战赛後所说:「我告诉他们,这将是我们整个赛季、整
个系列赛中最艰难的一场比赛,因为所有人都与我们为敌。届时将有 30 万
人,然後才是灰狼队、球员、教练,以及随队出征的整个组织……在客场背
水一战。这才是我们应该为之奋斗的时刻:前往客场并试图淘汰一支球队。」
The Wolves have that experience of closing teams out on the road.
Both series-clinching games they won a season ago came on the road
— Game 4 in Phoenix and Game 7 in Denver. Perhaps they can draw
on that series against the Suns for Wednesday. Few were picking
them to advance, and even when the Wolves took a big lead in that
series, they didn’t let Phoenix back into it. So even up 3-1
against the Lakers, their backs haven’t come off that wall in
their eyes. Especially not with James and Doncic on the other
side.
灰狼队有在客场淘汰对手的经验。他们上赛季赢下的两场系列赛关门战都是
在客场:在凤凰城的第四战和在丹佛的第七战。或许他们可以从对阵太阳队
的系列赛中汲取经验来应对周三的比赛,当时很少有人看好他们晋级,即使
在那个系列赛中取得了极大领先优势,也没有让太阳队反扑成功。因此,即
使以 3-1 领先湖人队,在他们眼中,球队仍然是背水一战。尤其是在对手阵
中有 James 和 Doncic 的情况下。
“Our motivation has been through people doubting us outside of
our team,” Conley said. “Like Ant said, we weren’t picked to
win this thing, we weren’t picked to do anything in the
postseason. We line up there tomorrow, that’s what we think
about. We think about that as soon as we set foot on the court and
go out there and play as hard as we can.”
「我们的动力来自於外界对我们的质疑。」Conley 说。「就像 Ant 说的,
我们不被看好能赢下这个系列赛,我们在季後赛中也不被看好能有所作为。
我们明天上场,脑子里就是这些不看好我们的言论。踏上球场的那一刻,我
们就会想起那些言论,然後全力以赴地比赛。」
Finch on officiating
Finch 谈论执法尺度
Finch was asked at Tuesday’s practice if he expected the whistles
to be any tighter in light of the NBA saying officials erred in
not calling a foul on Jaden McDaniels for tripping Doncic in the
final minute of Game 4.
Finch 在周二的训练中被问及,监於联盟承认裁判在第四战最後一分钟没有
判罚 Jaden McDaniels 绊倒 Doncic 是错误的,他是否预计裁判的吹判尺度
会更严厉。
The Wolves coach, speaking about the variance of playoff
officiating at large, reminded people the Lakers weren’t called
for a foul in nearly 20 minutes in Game 1, and that the Wolves
haven’t let the whistles affect them too much in this series.
灰狼队教练谈到季後赛执法尺度的差异时,提醒人们湖人队在第一战有将近
20 分钟没有被吹判犯规,并且灰狼队在这个系列赛并没有让哨音对他们的
表现产生过大的影响。
“I don’t feel the need to have any hand-wringing about missed
calls right now,” Finch said. “We’ve not made this series about
any calls, any whistles or any things that have gone against us
or for us — even when they started Game 1 and they didn’t call a
foul on the Lakers for 20 minutes, which is unheard of.
「我现在觉得没有必要为漏判而烦恼。」Finch 说。「我们并没有把这个系
列赛的重点放在任何判罚、任何哨音,或者任何对我们有利或不利的事情上
;即使在第一战开打时,他们在 20 分钟内都没有吹判湖人队犯规,这简直
是前所未见。」
“We’re not worried about it. We’re just gonna play. Sometimes
it’s going to go for you, sometimes it’s going to go against
you, but if you’ve watched the playoffs, you can call a foul
literally every possession and then some they call and some they
don’t. We have to develop a tough mindset, play through it all
and keep focusing on things that we know can help bring us
success.”
「我们并不担心。我们就专心比赛。有时判罚对你有利,有时对你不利,但
如果你看过季後赛,你会发现几乎每个回合都有判罚空间,而有些抓了,有
些没抓。我们必须有强韧的心态,克服一切困难,并继续专注於能帮助我们
成功的因素。」
