He played his rookie season at 248 pounds and now is 233 after two months spent running the beach, lifting weights, changing his diet and working out two to three times a day back home in Los Angeles. 禮拜五灰狼前鋒D-will在老巢Target center接受訪問時，提到自從四月我們放假之後，他已經減了15磅，準備迎接自己的第二個NBA賽季和第一個暑期迷你訓練營。 "He's not the chubby one anymore," teammate Wes Johnson said with a smile. Williams changed his body in an effort to play small forward this season at the same time his team is throwing $46.5 million at Portland restricted free agent Nicolas Batum, who plays that same position. 隊友WES微笑表示：他再也不是隊上的小胖胖了～ D-will努力瘦身減下體重準備賽季的同時，他所處隊伍的制服組正準備砸下46.5M從阿拓那邊盤來RFA的Batum。Batum打的位置是和他目標相同的SF。 Williams just laughed when asked about that juxtaposition. "He's a great player, man," he said. "I've seen him play before, this season, even before I got to the NBA. It's really not about a hammer [over his head] or anything like that. It's just about me getting better. If I played a little better last season, maybe we wouldn't be having this talk right now." 被問到這個制服組所弄出的二搶一局面時，D-will笑了。「老兄，Batum是個很棒的球員。我這球季看過他打球不少次，進NBA前也看他的比賽。我可沒有感覺自己的頭上被榔頭鎚了一記之類的。重要的是，我得越來越好。如果我這個球季的表現能夠再好一些，也許咱們就不會遇上這個問題了。」 Williams played almost exclusively at power forward -- backing up two-time All-Star Kevin Love there when everyone was healthy -- during an uneven rookie season, particularly for one selected No. 2 overall last summer. "I know I can play a lot better than I did," Williams said. "In some parts of last season, I thought I had some good games. I just need to be more consistent. I had a couple games against the Clippers where I had 27 [points] and eight [rebounds] and the next game I'd have six and three." D-will大部分的時間都在打PF，主要是作為全星星球員LOVE的替補—這是在大家都很健康時的狀況。這個球球季對他來說起起伏伏，尤其是以榜眼的身份來看。「我知道我能夠表現地更好。在上個賽季的某些時間裡，我應該打得相當不錯。但我需要更加地穩定。我記得對上快艇時有一場我拿了27分8籃板，結果下一場只剩6分3籃板。」 Williams had a discussion about that kind of inconsistency with Wolves coach Rick Adelman after last season, and they came to a mutual agreement. "Make shots when I'm open, get to the basket when I can, do a little bit of everything," he said. "Just staying ready and staying a little more focused, too. That's a big part of it, especially when I was out for periods of time and coming back into the game." D-will和矮豆人討論了上個賽季裡他的不穩定，兩邊達成了一個共識。「當我歪歐噴時要敢投，當我能殺入時就切入，然後所有苦工雜事都要承擔。保持準備好的心態狀態，然後集中你的精神。這很重要，尤其我常常得作板凳好一段時間才能回到場上。」 Last year's labor lockout canceled summer-league practices and games and reduced preseason from a month's work down to mere days. Williams is hopeful a complete summer and fall with Wolves coaches will make a noticeable difference. "Last season, my last game was in March and I didn't play a game until December," Williams said. "This is going to be good." 去年的封館讓暑期聯盟休兵，比賽減少連賽前訓練期也是。 D-will希望玩整得賽季能讓灰狼的教練群做到想要的改變。「上個賽季我在大學的最後一場比賽是在3月，然後到了12月才又開打。今年的狀況會好很多。」 He also underwent May surgery to repair his septum and correct a breathing problem that he knew he had but never realized how much it might have affected him. "I can actually breathe out of my nose now," he said. 他也做了個修復軟骨和改善呼吸道問題的小手術，他有意識到那問題卻不知道那會影響他多少。「現在我感覺我真的能用自己的鼻子呼吸了XD。」 And then there's that 15-pound weight loss, which is intended to allow him to play a small-forward spot that he always has claimed is his natural NBA position but at which last season he struggled to defend. "He's leaned up," Johnson said. "I think that weight suits him better now." 最重要得是他減了15磅，這讓他能夠去打自己所宣稱NBA裡頭最適合的位置，當然也是上個賽季他在防守時吃了很多苦頭的位置。 WES又來插花「他結實多了，我想這個體態更適合他。」 Williams, 21, now theoretically is quicker to defend small forwards, but he said he expects to notice the difference when he is asked to play power forward, although he hopes his speed will compensate against bigger, stronger players such as Paul Millsap and Pau Gasol. Two questions remain, however: Where does he fit with a Wolves team that already has Love at power forward and is pursuing Batum, whom basketball boss David Kahn suggests might be a "missing piece?" Or does he fit? D-will 21歲，理論上已經更加敏捷能夠去防守SF，但他說他期待大家能夠注意當他被要求去打PF時，他希望能夠利用自己的速度去對抗更大隻更強壯的對手，像是阿爵的Millsap、湖人的嘎獸。不過依舊還有兩個問題得讓我們想想：當灰狼已經有LOVE在PF還追求Batum在SF時，他是否適合灰狼的隊形呢？偉大的GM Kahn說他可能是我們所缺的那一塊拼圖，但實際上是？ Just one season into his NBA career, Williams already has heard his name mentioned repeatedly in trade rumors. Some have him headed to Portland in a sign-and-trade for Batum. Previous ones had him headed back home to Los Angeles for the Lakers' Gasol. "I really don't pay attention to it," he said. "It's not my job to worry about that. My job is only to get out here and play basketball. It happens. Everybody goes through it. I just try to push through it. Hopefully, I stay here." 才第一個球季，D-will已經聽到自己的名字在交易Rumor裡頭到處亂飛。有人說他會到阿拓那換回Batum。也有人說他會回老家LA換回Gasol。「我其實沒有在意這些。我的工作不是去擔心那些交易流言。我的工作是準備好上場，然後打一場好球。這種事總是有的，大家都得習慣。我會試著不去管他。希望，希望我能繼續待在灰狼隊。」 Let's GO Timberwolves!!UNITED WE RUN!! -- 青梅竹馬（Mysterious stranger）當你獲得這個技能時，你將會得到青梅竹馬更多的關注。青梅竹馬會在冒險中隨時出現助你一臂之力，業務範圍包括：叫床、做便當、撲殺魔王。不過他們不會代替你的砲友。摘錄自「異塵餘生２ Restoration Project XP」出包王者特別版　特徵（Traits）一節 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.250.44.150
