https://tinyurl.com/ykwpan9k Rudy Gobert recalls tape in the corners of the practice court during his first few years in Utah, marking the spots guys must sprint to every time down the floor to ensure proper spacing, particularly in transition. “And then it became a habit,” Gobert said. “It became something that whether you’re fresh or you’re tired, you’re going to do it. Because you built that habit.” Rudy Gobert 回忆说，他在犹他打球的头几年，练习场地的角落会贴着胶带 ，标记着队友们每次攻守转换时都必须冲刺到位的地方，好确保拉开空间。 Gobert 说：「後来这就变成了习惯。变成了一种不管你精神好还是累，都 会去做的事。因为你已经养成那种习惯。」 Those are things Minnesota is attempting to instill this year in training camp. From getting out in transition on offense to pressuring the ball defensively, the Timberwolves have clear objectives they’re attempting to engrain during the time of year when it’s easiest to do so. 这些就是灰狼队今年训练营试图灌输的东西。从进攻时快速转换推进，到防 守时施加持球者压力，灰狼队都有明确目标，想在球季最容易养成习惯的时 候深植到队员脑中。 You often are who you are once the regular season begins. Attempting to reinvent yourself on the fly is a fool’s errand. Minnesota tried to do things like take care of the ball and play with more pace in the Western Conference Finals. But those weren’ t traits the Wolves had developed, so they couldn’t deploy them when the lights were brightest. 通常，一旦例行赛展开，你不容易做出改变，想在球季中临时改变自己根本 是白费力气。灰狼队在西区冠军赛时曾试着在保护球权下、并打得更有速度 。但这些都不是球队平时发展的特点，所以到了最关键的时刻，他们就无法 发挥出来。 Championship habits are built in October. How do you develop those? Minnesota is using repetition. Wolves guard Mike Conley said the first thing Minnesota does to open practice is a drill that throws the ball down court while players get to certain spots on the floor. 总冠军级别的好习惯是在十月份建立的。要怎麽养成呢？灰狼队的方法是反 覆操作。 Mike Conley 表示，队内训练的第一件事，球员把球扔到前场，然 後球员们冲到场上的指定位置。 “There’s nothing by accident,” Conley said. “All these things are important.” What Conley likes most is the consistency with which they’ve been enforced thus far. If players aren’t imposing enough ball pressure on the perimeter, it’s called out. Conley 说：「没有任何事情是偶然，所有这些细节都很重要。」 目前为止 最让 Conley 喜欢的是，这些要求都持续地执行着。如果在外线防守时，没 给持球者足够压力，就会被点出来。 “As soon as you’re not winning that battle on the ball,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said, “you blow the whistle and get them up and get them where they need to be.” The same thing is done when guys don’t sprint up the court. Or when they don’t swing the ball in the halfcourt offense. 灰狼队教练 Chris Finch 说：「只要你在持球防守对抗上输掉，我们就会响 哨，让他们重新站好，到他们该去的位置。」 当有人没有全力冲刺到前场， 或者在半场进攻时没有传导球时，他们也会被指示做同样的事。 Much of last year’s camp was spent adjusting to a massive trade that reshuffled the roster. But with everyone except Nickeil Alexander-Walker back from a year ago, Minnesota has the opportunity to hammer down on the finer points — things that usually require effort and attention to detail — that can be the difference between good and great. 去年训练营的大部分时间都花在针对季前交易的阵容调整。但今年除了 Nickeil Alexander-Walker 之外，其他人都回来了。球队有机会好好加强那 些细节，这些通常需要付出努力和专注力的东西，可能也是好球队和伟大球 队之间的差别。 All reports indicate the players have bought into the points of emphasis and are executing them at a high level over the first week of camp. Wolves forward Julius Randle noted there shouldn’t be any need for reminders this early in the game. “But just even throughout practice, I’m sure some things (usually) get lax like in the middle hour of practice. (That) hasn’t been the case,” Randle said last week. “Guys have been pretty locked in, pretty focused from the very beginning. We had a great day yesterday, a great day today. So, I mean, there hasn’t been any slippage. … We know what we’ve got to do and it’s up to us to do it every day.” 所有报导都指出，在训练营的第一周，球员们全力投入这些指示，并且执行 得非常好。 Julius Randle 提到，训练营刚起步，基本上还不需要被提醒。 「但即使是平时，我敢说有些事情在训练一个小时後就会松懈下来，但这次 并没有。」Randle 上周说。「从一开始，队友们就非常专注、投入。昨天练 球很棒，今天也很棒。所以，我的意思是，没有任何松懈……我们知道该做 什麽，而且这取决於我们能每天执行。」 That’s the key. Once a team achieve that, it becomes who you are. Wolves assistant coach Micah Nori joked that guys may start camp by running to the corner every time down the floor. “And then all of a sudden, two weeks from now, everybody’s at the break. And then four weeks from now, they’re all stopping in the high quad,” he said. “That was Finchy’s biggest message to all these guys, and I thought he made a great analogy: ‘If you’re a golfer and you’re trying to go from a 20 to a 10 handicap, it’s much easier than trying to go from a five to a three.” 这就是关键。一旦一支球队做到了，这就会成为他们的一部分。灰狼队助理 教练 Micah Nori 开玩笑表示，球员们可能刚开始每次都冲刺到底角。「然 後突然间，两周後，可能只跑到罚球线区块。再过四周，可能都只停留在罚 球线两侧高位。」 他说。「那是 Finchy 给所有人最重要讯息，而且他用了 一个很棒比喻：『如果你是高尔夫球选手，一洞想从 20 杆进步到 10 杆， 会比想从 5 杆进步到 3 杆要容易得多。』」 Minnesota is already a good team. But to become one of the NBA’s best, it has to win on the margins via the game’s finer points. “ For us, it’s building those habits, continuing to talk about that every day, not just the first week of camp,” Nori said. 明尼苏达已经是一支不错的球队了，但要成为联盟顶尖球队之一，必须透过 比赛中的细节来赢得优势。 Nori 说：「对我们来说，养成这些习惯，每天 都要持续谈论这些，而不仅仅在训练营的第一周。」 “It’s just like anything,” Conley said. “You wake up in the morning, you brush your teeth. You do things like that to (establish) a routine.” That’s how championship-level foundations are composed. 「这就像任何事情一样。」Conley 说。「你早上醒来会刷牙，做这些事情来 建立一套惯例。」 这就是如何建立总冠军基础。 “There’s always moments when you might not do it as much, and that’s when your teammates have got to be there to talk to you and remind you who we are, and what we’re trying to accomplish,” Gobert said. 「总会有你可能松懈的时候，这时候队友就必须站出来，提醒我们是谁，以 及我们想达成什麽目标。」 Gobert 表示。 --- 持续照着自己的步调前进。 --
