http://tinyurl.com/blbsf4e Why? Would would Rick Adelman -- a man who has won 945 games in 20 seasons as an NBA head coach -- tackle at age 65 a job like coaching the Timberwolves? Why would a guy who has suffered through only two losing seasons out of those 20 come to cold, snowy Minnesota to coach a team that won just 17 times last season. Good question. Maybe even he doesn't know. It has something to do with the collection of young talent -- seven players selected among the draft's first six picks -- the franchise has accumulated. It also has something to do with Adelman's teaching experience in Houston, where he lost stars Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady in his four years there and coached a team of mostly youngsters to winning seasons each of the last two seasons. "I knew they had a lot of young players," he said. "When we played them last year, I was always surprised. I thought they should have won more games. But you're not here, you're not coaching them. You don't know why things happen." After just one week on the floor with them, he has a better idea about a team both gifted -- Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph, Wes Johnson and rookies Ricky Rubio and Derrick Williams -- and so darn young except for veteran guards Luke Ridnour and newly signed J.J. Barea. He watched film of last season's games and called their defense "horrendous." Then he coached a team that led the league in turnovers last season and saw a team that still lacks ball-handlers and playmakers on the wing that he may start two point guards -- Rubio and Barea -- in the backcourt. Irritated after one practice before Barea's arrival, he said, "I don't think I've ever seen a group as good at turning the ball over as this one." That said, he's still intrigued by a team that has the league's top rebounder in Love, an enormously talented but enigmatic scorer in Beasley and what Adelman calls a "natural point guard" in Rubio. "These guys are really talented," Adelman said. "In some ways, things have been easy for them. They have to learn they not only have to do things for themselves, they have to make their teammates better. They have to find a way to do that." 他很高兴这支球队有这麽多有天赋的球员，Adelman从去年跟他们对战时， 就觉得这支球队应该是只雄霸一方的球队，不过今年他来执教後直到 新球员Barea来之前他就对於这支集失误与球权处理问题的球队感到很火大， 如今他想到一个妙计，後场新组合：两个控球後卫Rubio and Barea。 现在他还在为新科篮板王Love与及拥有强大天赋却还是令人一知半解的得分手B-easy 还有未来的控球後卫Rubio筹划着妙计中。(灰三角?) Adelman希望学员们都能学好人人为我我为人人这个道理 COACHING STAFF Head Coach -- Rick Adelman, 21st season overall (945-616), 1st with Wolves. Assistants -- Terry Porter, Jack Sikma, T.R. Dunn, Bill Bayno. LAST SEASON, REMEMBERED: 17-65 (fifth in Northwest). THIS SEASON 27-39 (4th in Northwest). POSSIBLE CHANGES, PREDICTED: There has been too many changes to predict many more, other than the pressure is on president of basketball o perations David Kahn for a breakthrough season now that he's in the third year of three-year contract. 球队的可能性太多了，不过今年是Kahn合约最後一年喔!!! --
