http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/blogs/137069943.html Wrapping up tonight from Target Center. My column for the Wednesday paper centers on Ricky Rubio, who had a brilliant game in the Wolves' 111-100 loss on Tuesday, so I'll touch on other subjects here: 巴拉巴拉～，大叔要開始閒扯淡。 1. It was a pleasure to watch Rick Adelman and Tom Thibodeau, two of the best in the business, run their teams. One of the best things about being a sportswriter is sitting courtside at a good NBA game, and Adelman and Thibodeau are both pros. Both work the refs without embarrassing themselves or trying to show up the refs the way so many coaches do. I've never understood how coaches can think that showing up refs can be good for them in the long run. 矮豆人和錫箔特都有鬍子很有禮貌，不找裁判麻煩。 2. Derrick Rose was the NBA's MVP last year, and he's better this year. He looks to distribute more early in games and it's almost unfair for someone with his ability to drive to also be able to rise straight up and hit three-pointers the way he does. I don't know how you defend him. 風城玫瑰、去年的MVP今年更神了。當有個傢伙能夠這樣靠腰切入又硬拔三分時，我想請問上帝要怎麼防守他。 3. Asked Thibodeau before the game about his stint as a Timberwolves' assistant coach and he raved about Bill Musselman, calling him ``one of the all-time greats.'' 問到錫箔特他在灰狼當助理教練的那年頭過得怎樣時，他提到了Bill筋肉人—棒呆了。 4. Rubio is remarkably mature for his age. He knows how to handle himself on the court and with the media. Yes, that can matter. 魯小比以他的年紀來說真是太成熟了。他知道怎麼處理場上的事也知道怎麼跟媒體應對。後面這點可是很重要的。 5. Everyone will be clamoring for Rubio to start, and that makes sense. The problem here, folks, is that the Wolves only have so many good players, and they can play only so many minutes. This is not a deep or talented team. As I note in the column, almost all of their worthwhile players are point guards or power forwards. Love's production and Rubio's ability to run an offense are all that separate the Wolves from an 0-10 start. 一堆人在靠杯要魯小比先發，而且他們靠杯的很有道理。不過問題在這裡—灰狼就只有那幾個能打、就只能上場那些時間。這不是個有足夠深度和天份的球隊。像大叔我提過的，幾乎所有灰狼裡頭有搞頭的球員都是1號和4號。愛神的穩定產量和魯小比的能力構成了攻擊面的重點，而這個是從開季十連敗的命運中拯救灰狼的關鍵。 6. Yes, give David Kahn credit for trading Mike Miller and Randy Foye for the pick that turned into Rubio. And I'm not even going to mention the Jonny Flynn pick this time. 好啦好啦，我知道灰狼選秀的「光榮」歷史。不過這次你得說卡恩好像賭對了…不論代價如何。 8. Wes Johnson, Wayne Ellington and Darko Milicic just don't look like NBA players. Johnson can't handle the ball or defend (sound like any other Syracuse players who played for the Wolves?), Elllington is a smart player who just isn't dynamic athletically, and Darko is just Darko. WES、Elling、米粒，你們真的是NBA的球員嗎？WES沒辦法運球掌握球也沒辦法防守。（怎麼聽起來好像是大學球員來灰狼這裡實習？）Elling是個聰明的傢伙但是沒有那個腳。而米粒…就是顆米粒。 The Wolves play their best with some combination of Rubio, Love, Anthony Randolph, Derrick Williams, J.J. Barea, Luke Ridnour and Michael Beasley on the court, with Anthony Tolliver a necessary evil at center because Darko drags the team down. 灰狼表現最棒的陣容是讓魯小比、愛神、A軟、D-will、JJB還有Ridnour、B-easy在場上 Tolliver只得讓他扛中鋒，因為米粒…就是顆米粒。 I know Beasley is a flawed, goofy, player, but the Wolves need him. They need a guy who can score on his own or with the shot clock winding down, even if the offense stagnates when he's in the game. I can't say I hold out hope that Beasley will become a better all-around offensive player, but given the limitations of the roster, the Wolves owe it to themselves to give him a chance. 我知道B-easy是個有瑕疵又問題多多的球員，但是灰狼需要他。他們需要個能自行得分、當24秒讀秒時能夠把球丟進去的人，即使當他在場時攻擊的流轉會整個凝滯。我不會說我還奢望B-easy會變成個全能的攻擊性球員，但是人手就是只有這些。灰狼把自己搞到不給他機會都沒辦法。 I'd like to see a small-ball rotation that allows Love, Williams, Beasley and Randolph to play most of the minutes in the frontcourt, and Barea, Ridnour and Rubio to take most of the backcourt minutes. It's not conventional, but the Wolves' conventional lineup stinks. 我希望看到灰狼的陣容會是個偏小球的打法：讓愛神、D-will、B-easy、A軟組成前場， JJB、Ridnour、Rubio組成後場吃掉絕大多數的時間。這不是個傳統的陣容，不過灰狼的傳統先發陣容爛爆了 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.250.114.126
