http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/138825309.html Derrick Williams tweeted a seven-word message Saturday night that didn't require too much effort reading between the lines. Derrick Williams在twitter写下了7字缄言表达了他在两个位置上 得不到太多解读。 "Anybody ever felt like a caged lion?" the Timberwolves rookie wrote. Williams的tweet写道"有谁曾感觉像是困在牢笼的禽兽" Williams smiled when asked after Monday's practice if it's time for the lion to be released with Kevin Love set to begin his two-game suspension for planting his size-19 shoe on Houston's Luis Scola's chest and head. Love跺了一下Scola，也可能为Williams跺出了机会。 "That's funny," Williams said in a tone that suggested he didn't find it funny at all. "That's why you guys are here. I've been ready. I just want to get out there and play a little bit more. I think everybody does. But at the same time, I can't do nothing about that. It's not my decision." 「That's FUNNY」，当Williams说出这句话时的语调也略显暗示着他的一些无奈。 Williams：「我已经准备好了，我只是需要再多一点时间，我想每位球员都是如此 (Love：我真好命)，但做出决定的并不是我。」 Animal analogies aside, Williams clearly seems frustrated with the start of his NBA career. He's averaging only 18 minutes and 7.3 points per game and has not made the kind of impact anticipated of a No. 2 overall draft pick. Love's suspension should create an opportunity for more playing time and a chance to prove himself. Williams admitted he needs to earn the trust of Rick Adelman and the coaching staff. 一只禽兽被摆在椅子上，Williams的NBA之路看来感到挫折，现在看来他只是个 对球赛一点影响力都没有的NO.2，Williams需要获得Adelman与教练团的信任。 "Hopefully, I pick up his trust and I have the ball in my hands more often, " Williams said. "I kind of feel like it's a lack of confidence. Not in myself. But him in me in that position of scoring the ball. I've just got to earn his trust." Williams：「我充满着希望，希望能获得信任，希望能得到更多球权， 我感觉似乎除了我以外教练团也对我缺乏信心，但在那个能获得更多球使用的权利上， 我希望能获得更多的信任。」 Williams' role through 24 games is an interesting development and popular discussion around town, but in reality, it's not that surprising once Adelman decided Williams is better suited to play power forward to start his pro career. That's also Love's position and he currently leads the NBA in minutes played at 39.4 per game. The Wolves need Love on the court as much as possible, but that means long stretches on the bench for Williams. 一旦Adelman决议Williams适合呆在PF，那麽位置的挤压是免不了的，这样看来 长期板凳可能是他最好的发展。 Williams usually sees action when Love gets a breather or in a smaller lineup with Love at center, but neither of those situations lends itself to extended playing time. Ideally, Williams would play small forward with Love at the '4.' That presumably was the Wolves' intention when they selected Williams last spring. 当打三小阵容或Love需要喘息时Williams是会从板凳拉上来上场，但这都没有让 他地上场时间有所增长，最理想的方向是让Williams打3号Love打4号，这也应该 是灰狼在选秀时作好的考量。 Maybe that will eventually happen. We can't forget he's only played one-third of a condensed NBA season that allows for little practice time. It's perhaps premature to overreact to early returns. The Wolves certainly hope Williams becomes adept at both forward spots, particularly on defense. Until then, his role is backup to a guy who rarely leaves the court. 也许这种情况终会发生，但不能忘记他是在少量练习的情况下也只 出赛20几场球而已，他或许只是在还未开花的情况下被众人过度反应罢了， 球队也表明希望能在两个位置都能适应，特别是在防守方面，一直等到 那一刻到来前他都打转在替补的身分，也不太会在场上看到他。 "I'm just out here playing," he said when asked whether he feels more comfortable at either forward position. "If you put me in the right position to succeed, I'm going to be right there to do whatever it is. Three or four, it really doesn't matter. That's the good thing about me. I can play either one and can guard either one. Just put me in there, let me do my best and hopefully at the end of the day we get more wins. So far we're doing pretty good." 被询问那个位置到较舒服时，他的回答是：「我会用尽我的全力。」 Williams：「如果你把我摆对了，无论什麽我都为球队带来最好，究竟是3号或4号 那都不是啥问题，我能扮演好其中一个角色也能做好防守，只要把我放好了我就能 表演最出色的一面并且看到胜利那一刻到来，至今球队真是做得非常不错。」 To his credit, Williams consistently is one of the last Wolves players to leave the court after practice. He stayed an extra 30 minutes Monday working on his jumper. He's putting in the necessary work. 令人感到高兴的是，Williams是唯一一个在练习之後还会持续留在场上 的球员，在星期一他就再额外使用30分钟时间做跳投练习，他持续为他的 必要工作而努力着。 "I relieve all my anger out here," he said. "Whenever I have a problem, that's always the easiest way to solve things. Hopefully a lot of people will see that." Williams：「在这儿舒缓了我所有的愤怒，我每次都有个问题， 那就是会想投机取巧，我很希望每个人都能看到这个问题。」 Williams said he's had a number of conversations with the coaching staff, not necessarily about his playing time but more so about how he can develop and improve his game. The biggest adjustment, he said, is figuring out how to score without having the ball in his hands as much as he did in college. Williams有好几次好几次去去与教练团对谈，却不是为了他的上场时间，而是 他要如何让他的能力持续改善向上发展，其中最大的修调， Williams表示：「持续增进在无球状态能为球队带来分数就像他在AZ那样。」 "Just my whole career, I've been more in the flow of the offense," he said. Williams：「我至今的球员生涯就是大量的进攻。」 He's searching for ways to fit in and define his role. He is an explosive leaper but he's also attempted 40 three-pointers (and made 10). He can create mismatches and use his athleticism to his advantage, but he needs to show better decision-making. Maybe this is just part of his rookie learning curve. 他正在适应以及确定他的位置，他是个有强大跳跃力的球员但他也试图 的投了40颗三分球(中了10颗)，他能创造错位并用他的运动能力发挥优势 ，但他还是需要有较好的decision-making，不过这也许就是新人要去学习的部份 "People say I'm playing a little bit more hesitant than what I did in college just because I was being able to do the things I know I can do, " he said. "It's just a different role. Everybody adjusts. Hopefully I pick up a little bit more." Williams：「常听人们这麽说，到了NBA後有点陷在犹豫的场上，我必须要说， 那是因为我知道我可以，我能去完成，不过我不是AZ那个我，我要以不同的 定位在场上，我要为此去调整自己，我期望在任何方面都能得到更多一些。」 --
