Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman stopped by Target Center to address the team on Wednesday. Adelman has missed the last five games to be with his wife in the hospital, and he still does not have a timetable to return. 錯過許多比賽的Adelman今天有來到Target Center。 “We saw him today,” forward Derrick Williams said. “He came to talk to us for a little bit. We can’t go over the details of what’s going on, but he came to talk to us and kept our spirits up. It was good seeing him.” DW：「今天很高興見到他出現在這裡，也與他有著一段簡短的對話，這一切讓我們的整個團隊士氣向上翻幅了不少。」 Assistant coach Terry Porter has assumed interim head coaching duties, and he was glad that Adelman was able to connect with the team, if only for a brief visit. 公式教練Porter也很高興看到Adelman與球隊重新展開聯繫，雖然只有短短的一些時間。 “It was good for the guys to see him,” Porter said. “It was good to have him there and give an update on everything. I think every guy just said ‘hang in there,’ it was that type of environment. He spoke, gave that kind of update.” Porter：「任何人看到他都會覺得很舒服，他能讓任何事情更加向上提升，我想他就像是吉祥娃娃一樣，每個人都想要把他放在身邊附近，只要一遇到艱難時他一開口說話，事情都會變得好轉起來。」 The Wolves were short-handed again on Wednesday, as Andrei Kirilenko, Alexey Shved and Lazar Hayward all missed the workout due to illness. That left the Wolves with just eight players participating, and it meant Porter needed to get creative with how he put the lineups together. 今天練習時AK、喜美、靈媒師都因為被病魔悄悄打了一下而沒來參加練習，所以這次的練習只有8位球員參與其中，這也考驗著Porter今天如何去搞好練習陣容。 The answer? Assistant coach Bill Bayno and player development coach Shawn Respert each filled in and helped make a 5-on-5 situation. 所以怎麼解決呢? 就是把助理教練Bill Bayno與球員發展教練Shawn Respert 塞到球隊當中，足夠在分組5對5時有適足的人數分隊對抗。 Porter said Respert, a standout at Michigan State and a former NBA player, still has his jump shot intact. Porter說Respert的精湛投籃技能還是原封不動的完好。 "His jumpshot is still sharp," Porter said. "You don't lose the jumpshot. If you're a jump shooter, you don't lose that. You just lose the legs." Porter：「他的投籃仍是這麼的犀利，如果是個射手，你遺失不了你的投籃能力，但你可以遺失你的金剛腿。」 Dante’s Shooting Slump DC進入了投籃掙扎 One thing the Wolves have seemingly been able to count on this season is Dante Cunningham’s mid-range jumper. With a tall release point and consistent form, Cunningham has made the area his bread and butter. Last game against Dallas, he shot just 6-for-18 (33 percent) from the field and struggled from his sweet spot near the free throw line. 面對小牛時DC投得很糟，而且是在他舒服的地方。 “They were just hitting back rim,” Cunningham said. “[It was] a combination of everything. Legs, form, getting touches. Nothing’s wrong, I just need to get them up.” DC：「我感覺整個體能狀況與我的腿都不聽使喚了，我需要讓自己變得更好。」 Cunningham went back and reviewed his shots in Dallas like he does every game, and found nothing wrong with the shots he took. Coach Porter didn’t, either. DC回去看他在Dallas的比賽影像，他發現並沒有什麼問題，Porter也這樣認為。 “I’m not concerned about Dante’s shooting,” Porter said. “They’ve been all quality looks, all within his range. He works on his shot a lot. I’d be more concerned if he starts passing them up, and then that throws our offense out of wack. If we execute and he gets a wide open shot on a possession, we want him to take it. No matter who it is, if it’s in their rhythm, in their target spot, we just have to live with the results. We aren’t too concerned, we know he’s going to start knocking those down.” Porter：「對於DC投籃的問題我並不太在意，我只擔心他會因命中不佳而害怕繼續投籃，他其實一值有再投射上下苦工，我們都知道他是個會越來越進入狀況的球員。」 Quick Hits Williams on only practicing with eight players today: “We had eight players today, but I think they’ll be back by tomorrow. They had a little sickness or whatever, but I think they’ll be alright.” DW：「今天只有8位球員來練習，我想缺席的球員明天都會歸來的，因為他們只是被病魔輕輕的打了一下而已，一定會迅速再站起來的。」 Cunningham on playing more minutes: “That can affect your shooting. It’s a different feeling after four or five games at 30+ minutes, your legs do feel different. I’m used to 25 minutes a game, and it’s just an adjustment. I need to make the adjustment quicker.” DC：「時間的增加真的對我造成了影響，我必須要盡速做好調整。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 182.235.44.45
