PEKO看起來就像是從電影『神鬼戰士』裡頭走出來的羅馬鬥士。 The big Montenegrin has a reputation for being one of the toughest and strongest players in the league. Ironclad with 290 pounds of muscle, he is a bruising force in the paint that absolutely nobody wants to guard. 這位高大壯碩的蒙特內哥羅人已經在NBA裡建立起名聲—『他是NBA最強悍的球員之一』。憑藉著290磅的結實肌肉，PEKO在禁區裡頭完全就是個毀滅兵器，沒人能夠阻擋他。 Pekovic has a tattoo on his arm of a medieval warrior resting over a bed of skulls. His grizzly beard and warrior-like haircut just add to his striking posture. He is such a beast of a basketball player that he doesn't even like the idea of shooting jump shots. PEKO的身上有個刺青，上頭的圖樣是一位中世紀的戰士睡在堆起的敵人骸骨之上。搭配他那微灰的鬍渣、好勇鬥狠的俐落短髮，PEKO的外觀讓人不禁會嚇到閃尿。他完完全全是一頭籃球場上的禁區野獸，腦袋裡甚至沒有『跳投』這種軟蛋東西。 http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/202955761.html?refer=y （矮豆人要他增加一些攻擊手段拉長攻擊距離時，PEKO的訪談） From the minute he showed up in Minneapolis, Pekovic's teammates were in awe of his stature. Some were cautiously optimistic and some were flat out scared. Wayne Ellington went as far as to say he was making him his "new best friend." 自從他降臨冰天雪地的北大荒後，他的隊友們對他雄渾的造型總是給於最大的敬畏。有些人用帶點樂觀的感覺小心翼翼接近，也有些人簡直要被嚇破膽。Ellington 也曾經表示過『他交了個新的野獸朋友』。 http://www.startribune.com/templates/Print_This_Story?sid= Unbeknownst to most outside the locker room, underneath Pek's rough exterior lies a surprisingly jolly and friendly guy. When he isn't setting bulldozer-like screens, (Brandon Knight sure has had a rough year, hasn't he?), Pekovic enjoys ice fishing in the piercing cold terrain of Minnesota. 當然地，俱樂部休息室外的人很難瞭解PEKO在他那偉岸的外表下，其實還是個歡樂又友善的好傢伙。當他沒有在球場上幫隊友們設立『推土機殺人掩護』時，PEKO還挺享受北大荒的冰釣樂趣。（讓我們替Brandon Knight哀悼三秒，他今年流年不利。） http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HApwAOFf9h4

Such a fan, in fact, that he went as far as to don this T-shirt and flash a rare big smile. 其實PEKO還是醉後大丈夫演員Zach Galifianakis 的大粉絲。PEKO愛他愛到穿上電影裡的那件囧T-shirt還能露出滿臉開心的笑容。 http://instagram.com/p/WTiHV-M97r/ http://distilleryimage0.s3.amazonaws.com/d1ea41b485b611e2affb22000aa8059e_7.jpg

From this interview, we see the softer side of the big man firsthand. He loves The Godfather, he loves fishing and he can bench press a bus. 從下面這段訪談裡，我們可以第一手收到這位彪形大漢的溫腥內心。他愛看『教父』、他愛釣魚、他臥推甚至有辦法抬起一台公車！！ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVJR3OC60wc

Despite his physical prowess, Pekovic has been encouraged by teammates to be a more vocal player in the post. He has a world of talent going one-on-one in the post, and with his strength he is difficult to stop. Few centers in the league can slow him down, and Pekovic has been hesitant to call for the ball at times even though he is hard to miss. 由於他那又粗又硬又大的驚人肉體，隊友們總是鼓勵他去禁區發揮他的影響力。PEKO擁有絕佳的天賦和腳步在禁區攻擊，搭配他的肉體簡直就是無堅不催。NBA 裡很少有中鋒能夠真正擋下他，不過即使PEKO這麼少失手，他有時候還會遲疑是不是該繼續要球摧毀對手。 Yet another example of Pekovic's "cuddly" side, (don't call him that in person), is this charming viral video. Not much needs to be said about this one. Any video of a 6'11" behemoth like Pek prancing through the deserts of Egypt is worth watching. 讓我們來看看PEKO另外一些『搞笑』的地方（記得別在他面前這樣講，別怪我沒提醒你） http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkzfLc86Lwo

別笑，別說話。像PEKO這樣6尺11吋的史前巨獸居然要穿越沙漠去探索金字塔嗎！？嗯…嗯……Funny……，我還蠻想看的。 He also enjoys meat. 還有，他愛吃肉！！ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBG7vIdgKfg

In all seriousness, Pekovic's value to the Timberwolves is immeasurable. He is heading into restricted free agency this offseason, and his teammates clearly love him on and off the court, just as the fans do. 好啦，不搞笑了。PEKO對灰狼隊來說是無法取代、價值連城的好隊友。今年夏天他要變成受限FA了。不管場上場下，北大荒的隊友和球迷們都愛PEKO。 Players like him don't come along very often. A bruising center with a heart of gold is just too much to lose. 像PEKO這樣的球員可是不世出的難得好球員。一個真正猛烈的中鋒還有熱愛籃球的心，你能放他走嗎？ After all, where will he go ice fishing if he leaves Minnesota? 不管怎麼說，要是離開北大荒的話，PEKO就沒辦法冰釣了。你說對不對，所有狼迷們？ OS：老桑，留下PEKO吧！！ -- 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: 220.137.0.218
