https://tinyurl.com/2xn4pshm DENVER – Ball Arena began emptying out early in the fourth quarter Wednesday, and Denver coach Michael Malone emptied his bench with just over five minutes remaining of a wire-to-wire 115-95 Timberwolves victory over the Nuggets. 周三，金块队主场观众在第四节早早就开始离场，教练 Michael Malone 在 比赛还剩五分多钟时清空了板凳。 Nearly 10 months have passed since perhaps the greatest game in Wolves franchise history — their Game 7 victory in the second round of last season’s playoffs against the Nuggets. 距离灰狼队史最伟大的比赛—上赛季季後赛第二轮对阵金块队的第七战胜利 —已经过了近10个月。 The Wolves’ roster has changed since that night, but the confidence with which they play against Denver and in Ball Arena has not. They are 3-0 against Denver this season and have won five straight going back to last season’s playoffs. 自那晚以来，灰狼队阵容已有所改变，但他们在丹佛比赛时的信心却没有改 变。他们本赛季对战金块的战绩为3胜0负，自上赛季季後赛以来已经连赢五 场。 “It felt similar to last year,” point guard Mike Conley said. “ Being in this building, you have to play that way to beat a team like this on the road. They’re really, really good. We just came in with an angrier mindset.“ 「类似去年的感受。」Mike Conley 说道。「在这个球馆内，你必须这样打 才能在他们地盘获胜。他们真的很强，我们只是带着更愤怒的心态应战。」 But more than just anger carried them Wednesday night. They were focused, they hustled, especially on the offensive glass (29 second-chance points, 22 in the second half) and they looked more seamless than they have all season. This was their sixth consecutive win, their 11th straight when Julius Randle plays. Randle was a big reason for the win: 25 points on 9-for-12 shooting to go with four rebounds and three assists. 但引领他们前进的不仅仅是愤怒。他们很专注，他们很拼，尤其在进攻篮板 上(二波得分29分，其中下半场22分)，而且看似随着赛季进行而更加契合。 这是近期六连胜，也是 Julius Randle 出赛时的11连胜。Randle 是获胜的 一大原因：12投9中得到25分，还有4个篮板和3次助攻。 “He’s been such a great playmaker for us,” coach Chris Finch said. “But he has the ability to go get a bucket when we give him the ball.” 「他一直是阵中杰出的分球者。」Chris Finch 说道。「但他也有能力在持 球时去取分。」 Randle scored seven of his points early in the fourth quarter as the Wolves put the game away. Anthony Edwards, who earlier this season complained about all the double-teams he was facing, looked at ease dealing with the coverages Denver was sending at him, especially in the second half. Edwards was making the right reads, especially on a pair of possessions when he found Jaden McDaniels (16 points) for left-corner threes. He said watching film of Lakers guard Luka Doncic has helped, and he’s seeing the game much better as a result. He finished with 29 points, six assists and four rebounds. Randle 在球队锁定胜局的第四节初期贡献了7分。另外，Anthony Edwards 本赛季早些时候曾抱怨他面对的包夹，今晚在处理金块对他的防守时显得很 从容，尤其在下半场。 Edwards 做出了正确的解读，特别在两波进攻中，他 都找到了Jaden McDaniels 投进左侧底角的三分。他说观看 Luka Doncic 的 比赛对他有所帮助，因此对比赛理解也更好了。 “Like now I know the low man going to be there, the corner going to be open every time,” Edwards said. “Then they’re going to start pre-rotating to the corner and the wing is gonna be open. Just little reads, man.” 「如同现在我知道低位的人会上来，底角就会出现空档。」Edwards 说。「 接着对手会开始提前轮转到角落，侧翼就会出现空档，就是一些细微解读。」 Added Finch: “It’s just a global understanding of what the defense is doing, what it’s trying to do. We thought that play was there in the first half more. He did a really good job. In the past he would’ve fought that coverage a bit, but he’s now accepting it and making all the right plays. He’s been tremendous at it.” Finch 补充说：「这只是做面对防守的全盘理解，以及预期要做什麽。我们 认为上半场有更多这种机会，他做得非常好。过去他会硬拼这种防守，但他 现在接受了它并做出正确判断。他表现得非常出色。」 Wednesday was a mile-marker in the Wolves’ season; it showed how far they have come since the struggles of the first half. Randle and Donte DiVincenzo have fully acclimated after joining the team preseason, despite injuries that cost them playing time. The Wolves have not looked like this well-oiled of a machine until now. 今晚是灰狼队本赛季的里程碑，展现了走过上半季的挣扎，球队已经取得了 多大的进步。Randle 和 Donte DiVincenzo 在热身赛前夕加入後逐步融入团 队，尽管伤病让两位失去些上场时间。灰狼队直到现在才看起来像一台运转 良好的机器。 “We came a long way in our chemistry,” center Rudy Gobert said. “I would say it really starts with Ant and Julius. The way they’ ve been playing and the way they’ve been making the right play for the teammates has been having a tremendous impact for us.” 「队友间化学变化有很大进步。」Rudy Gobert 说道。「我认为这真的始於 Ant 和 Julius。他们打球的方式，以及正确为队友创造机会的方式，对球 队产生了巨大影响。」 Gobert took a one-on-one matchup against Nikola Jokic, and Jokic had 34 points, but Gobert standing on an island against Jokic enabled the Wolves defenders to shut down some of Denver’s other weapons, such as Jamal Murray (12 points, 4-for-15 shooting) and Michael Porter Jr. (10 points, 3-for-10). Gobert 与 Nikola Jokic 进行了一对一的对决，Gobert 单独对抗 Jokic 使 得灰狼队的防守资源能够阻止对手其他进攻武器，例如 Jamal Murray (12分 ，15投4中) 和 Michael Porter Jr. (10分，10投3中)。 As the Wolves got healthier the past few weeks, the fan base asked questions like, “What’s going to happen when Randle comes back? ” Then it was, “What’s going to happen when Gobert gets back?” The early returns have been nothing but positive as the Wolves enter the home stretch of the season in a race to avoid the play-in tournament. 随着球队伤兵在过去几周陆续归队，球迷们提出了像是「当 Randle 归队 会如何融入？」之类的问题，接着是「当 Gobert 回来时会如何安排？」。 灰狼队进入赛季的最後冲刺，争取避开附加赛，初步得到回馈都是正面的。 “We got a gift earlier in the year with some of the injuries, myself included, being injured a little bit, guys being in and out of the lineups, it’s given other guys opportunities to have a bigger role,” said Conley, who had eight points and five assists. “You look at Jaden and Naz [Reid], those guys are getting comfortable and confident while Julius was out. 「球队在年初因为一些伤病问题，包括我自己在内，在出赛名单进进出出， 这也让其他队友有更多机会。」Conley 说道「你看 Jaden 和 Naz，当 Julius 缺席时，他们更加舒适和自信。」 “Donte, him being out allowed Jaylen [Clark], T.J. [Terrence Shannon Jr.] and other guys to get quality minutes. Now we’re all finding our rhythm. We’re all finding a good pace to the game.” 「Donte缺席，让 Jaylen[Clark]、T.J.[Terrence Shannon Jr.]和其他队友 获得了高品质的出赛机会。现在我们都找到自己的节奏，都找到一个最佳的 比赛节奏。」 Now to keep up this pace the rest of the season, and when the opponent isn’t Denver. 现在要在剩余赛季里保持这样节奏，在对手不是金块队的情况下。 “When we play, part of our issue is bringing the same focus and intensity level and commitment to the game, no matter who we’re playing,” Finch said. “When we play these top teams and teams we have great familiarity with, we tend to take it a bit more personal. We have to do that all of the time.” 「当我们出赛时，球队问题之一是无论遭遇到谁，都要保持相同的专注度和 强度以及对比赛的投入。」Finch 说道。「当遭遇这些顶级球队，以及我们 非常熟悉的对手时，我们往往会更加认真看待。我们必须始终这样做。」 --- 球季最後冲刺，考验稳定度时刻，每场都要保持高度专注。 --
