http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/139489058.html Things have changed, in a big way, for Wolves forward Kevin Love recently. And by big, of course we mean Nikola Pekovic. Kevin Love最近感觉很舒服，因为他旁边多了一个人─Nikola Pekovic。 Pekovic has captured the imagination of fans recently, with his imposing presence and gentle demeanor. Scoring in double figures for nine consecutive games or picking up double-doubles in seven of his past 11 doesn't hurt either. PEKO得到球迷们很多想像空间，浑重的身躯加上曼妙的举动，让他能获得双位数的得分 或是双十成绩，但都没有让他的同侪数据因此下降。 But it's what Pekovic has done for Love lately that is interesting. Namely, absorb defenders. With Pekovic a constant threat underneath, teams have been forced to pay more attention to him. And that has meant a lot more 1-on-1 opportunities for Love. PEKO最近都在吸收对方的防守能量，让Love多了更多1对1单打的机会。 "He has changed things in the middle," Love said after his 30-point, 18-rebound performance against Charlotte on Wednesday. "Because everything just seems to have opened up. I'm going 1-on-1 with guys now. Defenses have to stay honest with him -- that's probably been the biggest adjustment teams have had to make with us. It's allowed me to get more looks out there." Love：「PEKO不只改变了现在还改变了未来，当大家都在监管他时， 这对球队来说是最大的调矫，也让我更加舒服。」 Love wasn't exactly struggling to score before Pekovic emerged. But there has been a big uptick in his scoring in recent games. 在PEKO还没发功前，Love再得分上只能一拐一拐的，但他一发功後Love 得分有如滔滔江水般绵延不绝。 Love is averaging 25.5 points per game this season on 45.7 percent shooting. In four games since returning from his two-game suspension for stepping on the face of Houston forward Luis Scola, Love has increased his scoring (28.3 per game), shooting (49.4 percent) and rebounding. Love现在平均是25.5分45.7的投篮命中率，至他从禁赛回来後的四场比赛 以增加到平均28.3分49.4的投篮命中率，他正在反弹当中。 Included in this stretch are three games with 30 or more points, including 32 against Dallas and New York and 30 Wednesday. To Love, this is no coincidence. 再这其中有三场比赛得分是在30分或着更高，对抗小牛与尼克拿到32分，另一场 对抗山猫拿到30分。 "Things are opening up for me,'' he said. "The way I rebound offensively, if I'm going 1-on-1 with somebody, it's going to be a foul, a tip-in. One way or another, I'll get my hand on the ball and I'll score." Love：「这让我在进攻上更加自由，如果我与其他球员一对一，将可以制造对方放规 ，或是产生二次进攻机会，我将能让我手中的球掉进篮框中。」 Coach Rick Adelman has noticed it, too. "Pek is going to play to his strengths all the time," Adelman said. "And that really does help Kevin out. Pek always occupies his guy. His guy is not going to stare at Kevin. I think that's what's great about him. He may not always get the ball, but he's always going to occupy the other team's center." Adelman也认为如此，Adelman：「PEKO真的彻底帮助了Love，他能让对方放不了太多 心力在Love身上，也把对方的中锋心思都放在了他身上。」 The great thing is that this goes both ways. Pek has the advantage of being able to work against opposing centers 1-on-1 as well. And he tends to make his move fairly quickly, making it even more difficult to double up on him. 很棒的两件事是 他能去对抗对方的中锋 他的移动快速，要包夹他不是很容易 And Pekovic's reliability on the boards hasn't cut into Love's rebounding totals at all. So it's a win-win situation. PEKO的存在不会截止Love的全面反弹，雔 亡 又 月贝凡 。 And, according to Love, it should only get better. The space Pekovic has created for him has opened up passing opportunities as well, and Love is determined to become a better passer out of the post. PEKO为Love创造了空间与传球机会，而Love也要为做个传球能手而努力。 That is something Adelman would like to see more of as well. "He's got do to more of that," Adelman said of Love. "If he's going to develop into a better player, that's one area [in which] he's going to have to help his teammates get better." Adelman：「如果Love正让自己更强，他也必须让他的队友变得更强。」 It's coming. Love, who has averaged 1.8 assists per game this season, has had three in three of his last four games. Yes, the turnovers (12 in that stretch) have been a problem. But Love realizes where he needs to improve, and he sees the potential for his team and himself if he does. The scoring will always be there, as well as the rebounding. So will Love eventually turn himself into a triple-double machine? Love平均有1.8次助攻，在对战火箭前四场中的三场他各传出了3次助攻，不过这 四场也掷出了12次失误，只要他能改善这点，那麽藉着球队的能力将能 得取更多分数，也许将来某一天某一时某一刻某一分某一秒Love将会变成 triple-double的制式化机器。 "You know, once I learn how to pass the ball rather than turning it over so much," Love said, "I'll be able to get more assists as well, with [Pekovic] in there." Love：「一旦我领悟到传球的真随我将能传出更多助攻，凭藉着PEKO 那凶猛的存在。」 --
