http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_19616054 Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman has spent so much time working on fundamentals with the team - specifically, ballhandling and defense - that he likely will go into Monday night's season opener against Oklahoma City at Target Center with a limited offense. Adelman said most of his offense has yet to be introduced to the players. "We've held back a little on putting some things in," Adelman said after Saturday morning's practice. "It's a matter of executing what we have in now. We're still turning the ball over a lot. Sometimes we're better off just shooting the ball and seeing if we can rebound it." Adelman was hesitant to identify a starting lineup for Monday's game or his rotations behind the starters. He mentioned, however, that "it's no secret" who might start. If Adelman maintains the lineup that started the two exhibition games against Milwaukee, Kevin Love and Michael Beasley will be at the forward spots, with Darko Milicic in the middle and Wesley Johnson and Luke Ridnour in the backcourt. "I haven't talked much with my staff about rotations off the bench," Adelman said. "A lot of that depends on Oklahoma City. They've got some weapons. We might have to change things." 圣诞假期前最後一次练球，Adelman 仍持续将重心放在基本功上，尤其是运球和防守。 此外，Adelman 还未将他大部分的进攻战术交给球员，开季後主打的进攻战术会单纯化 ，再由简入繁。根据 Adelman 观察球队练球後的说法，现阶段他只强调战术执行效率 ，确实完成下达的战术，但失误仍偏多，所以 Adelman 认为最好先将一切简化。 至於先发阵容，Adelman 没有明讲，记者猜测和热身赛第一场相同。球员轮替方面， Adelman 表示还没与教练团讨论，但会根据对手来作调整。 --- Backup center Nikola Pekovic missed his fourth day of practice because of a groin injury and will not play Monday. Adelman said Pekovic could be out at least a week before he can resume practicing. 伤兵消息 Adelman 表示 Pekovic 的鼠蹊部伤势可能需要至少一个星期的休养。 --
