http://tinyurl.com/cm2ylqt Russian guard Alexey Shved said he's been thinking about playing in the NBA since he was "six or seven years old," and the Timberwolves have given him his "wish to play with the best players," Shved said Wednesday, July 25, through his agent, Obrad Fimic, during a teleconference call from Russia with Minnesota media. 在 NBA 打球是 Alexey Shved 从六、七岁起开始的梦想，灰狼队给他一个实现机会。 "My dad (Victor) was a coach and he would bring home VHS videos of NBA games," Shved said after signing a three-year, $10 million contract to play with the Timberwolves beginning with the 2012-13 season. "We had no Internet then or satellite TV. In those days, I told my mom and dad it was my wish to play like these guys I'm seeing on TV." 「我的父亲身分是教练，他回家总会带着NBA球赛的影带。」刚与灰狼签下一张三年10M 合约的 Shved 说。「当时家中没有网路和卫星电视。看着电视中播出球赛，我常跟父 母说希望能跟他们一样打球。」 Shved, 23, has since had more access to NBA games, even noticing how the Timberwolves struggled after losing Ricky Rubio to a season-ending knee injury on March 9. 23岁的 Shved 接触NBA球赛管道越来越多，连他也了解 Rubio 对球队的重要性。 "They were like two different teams before and after Ricky's injury," Shved said. "The team had problems after he was injured." 「Ricky 受伤前後是两只截然不同的球队。」Shved 说。「球队在他受伤後打得挣扎。」 The 6-foot-5 Shved, preparing to play on the Russian team in the London Olympics, is projected to play both guard positions with the Timberwolves. He is the fourth international player on the Timberwolves' roster, joining Rubio, a point guard from Spain, center Nikola Pekovic of Serbia and point guard J.J. Barea of Puerto Rico. 身高六尺五寸的 Shved 有能力打後场两个位置，目前正全力备战伦敦奥运。他也将 成为灰狼阵中第四位非美籍球员。 --- Kahn downplayed Shved's impact with the Timberwolves in his first NBA season. Kahn 对於 Shved 新人球季影响力不预设高度期望。 "This year it's important to not put too much pressure on him to produce at a high level," Kahn said. "We have the kind of depth in our backcourt where he'll be able to make the transition to the NBA at his own speed." 「很重要的，未来这一年不必施加过多压力在他身上。」Kahn 说。「球队在後场深度 还算足够，可以让他以自己速度逐步调整适应 NBA。」 Shved has been playing professionally in Russia since he was 17. He was the most valuable player of the 2012 Russian League playoffs, averaging 14.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds and shooting 60 percent on three-pointers in the postseason. 从17岁起，Shved 就开始在俄罗斯参加职业联盟。他是2012年俄罗斯联盟季後赛最有 价值球员，平均每场攻下14.3分，4.0次助攻，2.3个篮板，以及六成三分球命中率。 In the Russian League's regular season, Shved averaged 11.3 points and 3.3 assists and shot 50.4 percent in 23 games.
