On Wednesday against Philadelphia, with the 76ers playing with a smaller lineup, Timberwolves center Greg Stiemsma never got off the bench. Friday at Oklahoma City, with the team's starting frontcourt struggling, coach Rick Adelman played Stiemsma for 25-plus minutes, including the entire fourth quarter. 灰狼的汽船在這場對上雷霆之時，Adelman讓他不只打完第4節還登場了25分的時間，卻在前一場對上76人，Adelman反而是起用三小般的陣容沒派他上場使他枯坐了整場的板凳位置。 Stiemsma responded with a career-high 13 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots in the 127-111 loss to the Thunder. 在對上雷霆有上場的那場比賽，他上場25分的時間給球隊貢養了職業新高的 13分以及6顆籃板球加上4顆灰鍋。 Still, he knows he might not play much when the Wolves host Golden State on Sunday. It all depends on matchups and how starter Nikola Pekovic is doing. 汽船基碼很了解他的處境，他清楚下一場的勇狼之戰他的登場時段要取決於 Peko在場上的發揮狀態。 "It can be challenging at times," he said of his up-and-down playing time. "But it's our job to always be ready. I'm smart enough to know, too, what the matchups are likely to be going into a game." 汽船：「我很了解什麼時候汽船像個汽船，什麼時候會像個棄船。」 Pekovic has had a strong season, but there are some matchups -- particularly against longer defenders -- that don't favor him. Peko打得不錯，但是只要一遇到較高大的防守者時球隊就不太熱愛使用他。 Adelman has Stiemsma and Chris Johnson as backups. Stiemsma is longer than Pekovic, a good shot-blocker who can match up well against certain opponents. Adelman有兩位替補中鋒人選，其中的汽船除了身材不錯也比Peko高了點還有有型的灰鍋能力，這用來對付某些程度對手挺不錯。 Johnson, at 6-11, is a quick jumper who is good at defending the rim. But his slight frame has made it difficult for Adelman to find minutes for him. MVP，他利用敏捷躍阻能力在籃框附近的防守做得十足有味，受限於他的身材過於瘦弱關係，Adelman儘管想要拿出時間也是感到有些難為。 And while it might have seemed that the up-and-down pace of Friday's game would have played to Johnson's strengths, it might have been difficult for him to match up with a player such as Kendrick Perkins. MVP儘管是MVP，但也是有難為不想讓人鑑賞的地方。 "I think there is always going to be a chance to play him," Adelman said of Johnson. "I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way for us to win.I didn't play Greg at all [vs. the 76ers]. Adelman如此評論著：「只要我們換方向思考也可能是個有用的東西，所以我才不斷嘗試找尋最有效率去贏球的策略。」 "I just felt the people we were playing, that was the best chance for us." Adelman：「有表現有機會」 Adelman said he will try to find minutes for Johnson, but it will be in specific situations. For example, Johnson might flourish if the Wolves go to a zone, allowing him to protect the rim. Adelman下了重話他定會給MVP有登場亮相的空間，不過是在某些特別的情況下，諸如當球隊使用區域他就能來捍衛籃框的主權。 Adelman also likes Johnson's ability to play above the rim on the offensive end. But Johnson won't play against more physical opponents. Adelman也喜歡MVP在進攻端的表現，但可能對上粗壯鋒線時登場可能性會大幅銳減。 Budinger improving Forward Chase Budinger, 14 1/2 weeks into his rehab from Nov. 13 surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee, will visit his surgeon Monday with the aim of being cleared to intensify his workouts. 布丁哥要拜訪他的外科醫生去確認他需要加強的地方。 Budinger, who has had no setbacks, is still hoping for a March return. 布丁不挫折，還是QQ的很有彈性。 "Hopefully [Dr. James Andrews] will clear me on doing more running and jumping and cutting," Budinger said. "Then, in two weeks, maybe a week, however long it takes my knee to get comfortable, I'll start practicing." 布丁哥：：「期望Dr. James Andrews認定我是一個接近完成的布丁，會有想舀起來吃一口的慾望。」 Budinger said he feels more comfortable, especially with his shot. He has shown elevation while shooting after practices. "It's still a struggle to run and to jump off that leg," he said. The biggest issue, he said, has been regaining his strength. "The structural thing is more landing, and I really have no pain with landing right now," Budinger said. 布丁哥：「布丁要做得好吃是很搞剛的，製作過程還沒遇到什麼突發危機。」 Moving on There were a handful of moments Friday when Ricky Rubio appeared visibly annoyed at the officials, either for fouls called on him, or foul calls he couldn't get. Saturday, he was more philosophical. "Sometimes refs can make mistakes just like we do," he said, smiling. "We just have to get through it. They don't listen to me. I'm still a rookie in this league." Rubio為對雷霆那場的吹判大喊嘿雷，但隔天隨即保持微笑平淡的看待這一切，，因為他了解誰都會犯錯也了解自己只是個菜鳥仔。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 182.235.44.45
