http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/146377535.html Have the compressed schedule and the Wolves' litany of injuries compromised their ability to play effective defense? There is no question that Ricky Rubio was the team's best perimeter defender and that the loss of center Nikola Pekovic for stretches of the season have hurt. But, after the Wolves blew a 20-point lead in Wednesday's home loss to Golden State, coach Rick Adelman harped on effort (or the lack of it) on the part of his team's defense. 失去了球隊中最好到外圍防守者與主力中鋒這對球隊的防守無疑是個傷害。 這一季Adelman所不斷強調的防守就是灰狼一直所缺乏的部分。 Star forward Kevin Love had this take: "Everybody's tired at this point. I think we just need to go back to our basics. It seems like the farther this season has gone, the worse we have gotten on defense. It's supposed to go the other way." Love：「現在每位球員都因人手缺乏而感到太過疲累，必須找點方法去解決 防守上的問題。」 Here is a look at some ways the Wolves defense has struggled: ●針扎點● 7 Quarters, out of a total of 16 recently played, that the Wolves have allowed 30 or more points. That includes Golden State's 38-point third quarter Wednesday. 7回合：最近的16回合中有7回合讓對手得到30分以上 12 Number of Wolves opponents who have scored 100 or more points the past 20 games.
