http://www.startribune.com/511/story/1031229.html After Tuesday's game, Mark Blount talked about taking care of the little things. Marko Jaric suggested that there should be less talk about basketball and more about pride. Ricky Davis didn't talk at all. 星期二的比賽後，射手布提到要多注意小細節，而學友哥建議現在該談的不是籃球， 是尊嚴。RD則什麼都沒說。 A 1-4 record since the All Star break -- capped by Tuesday's 91-65 home loss to Dallas -- had people asking the question: What's wrong? 明星週之後的戰績是一勝四敗--包括星期二在主場以65-91輸給小牛隊--讓人們滿天問號 ，到底發生什麼事了？ Turns out nobody has a definitive answer. 結果是--沒有人有一個確切的答案。 Maybe the key is a better start, suggested Kevin Garnett. This after the Wolves stumbled out of the gate Tuesday in a turnover-filled first quarter that set the pace for the entire game. 老大說，關鍵可能在於一個好一點的開賽表現。星期二的比賽裡，狼群們用TO填滿了 第一節，也奠定了整場比賽的步調。 "We're a young team," Garnett said. "We don't have the experience nor the personnel to sort of get us in position to climb ourselves out [of holes]. We sometimes hang our hats on youthfulness. Some nights it's to our advantage. But when you have an older team, they know how to grind back, know how to slow the game down, dictate the pace. This is not that type of team." "我們是個年輕的隊伍，"老大說，"我們沒有那個經驗或是那個人手來幫助我們擺脫泥淖 般的戰況。我們有時候很依賴我們年輕的活力，這在一些晚上對我們很有幫助。但當你 有個老隊伍，他們知道該怎麼對比賽施力，怎麼把隊伍放慢並控制住步調。這都不是我 們隊上辦得到的。" Coach Randy Wittman gave the team a day off from practice. That gives the Wolves a practice day today to prepare for Friday's game with Utah, another fundamentally sound team that plays good defense. Perhaps the day off will give the players some time to refocus. 教練惠曼讓大家放了一天假，然後今天再開始練習準備星期五對爵士的比賽，另一支擁有 堅強陣容和基礎並可以打出好防守的球隊。或許休息一天有助於讓球員們有時間再重新聚 焦於他們該注意的事情上。 "Mentally we are not [going] in the right direction," said Jaric, who talked after the game about the team needing to find its pride. "精神上，我們並沒有朝對的方向前進，"學友哥賽後說，他也提到灰狼隊必須找回他們的 尊嚴。 "I still believe this team has a lot of qualities, and we can get one of the last playoff spots. .... We need to find ourselves if we want to go and try to beat somebody else." "我還是相信灰狼隊有很棒的特質，而且我們可以重新回到季後賽中。...如果我們真的想 進季後賽，我們就必須在場上找回自己並且把對手擊敗。" Said Blount: "I just think we need to focus on the little things right now, coming out and being able to focus on the little things on the floor, the energy, to help us win games." 射手布說"我只是覺得我們現在必須把注意力放在小細節上。上場，並且把注意力放在場 上的每個小細節，每一絲能量，這樣才能幫助我們贏得比賽。" --
