http://tinyurl.com/9dhbynf Russia’s top basketball player, Andrei Kirilenko, sees supporting Kevin Love and inspiring younger players as his main tasks at the Minnesota Timberwolves. -Kirilenko is returning to the NBA this summer after a very successful year with CSKA Moscow and a bronze medal performance with Russia at the London Olympics. 辅佐 Kevin Love 并且激励年轻球员，以上是 Andrei Kirilenko 认为他在灰狼的主要 任务。 “[Minnesota coach, Rick Adelman] said that he was glad that I’m coming,” he told Sport-Express newspaper. “He said he didn’t expect that they’ll be able to drag me out from Russia as I was doing so well with CSKA. We’ve known each other for a long time, since Utah and his Sacramento were fighting in the playoffs.” 「Adelman 很高兴得知我加盟。」AK 向报社记者表示说。「他曾说过他不预期球队能把 我从俄罗斯挖角过来，原因是我在中央陆军过得顺利。因为过去常在季後赛碰头，我们 长期对彼此熟悉。」 “According to Adelman, he sees me as a sort of a bear leader – an experienced player, who’ll be an example for the young talent Minnesota has in the squad, ”the 31-year-old added. 「如同 Adelman 所说，他认为我能扮演球队导师：一名有经验，能在後生晚辈面前树立 典范的球员。」 One of those talents will be Kirilenko’s compatriot Aleksey Shved, who also joined the team before the Olympics. AK 同胞 Aleksey Shved 是当中的一名青年才俊。 “I have my own formula of success in the NBA, which consists of three components: coach’s trust, hard work and luck,” Andrei said. “Basically, I think that Aleksey has a very good chance here. But it depends on him, whether he’ll take advantage of them. Of course, I'll do everything to help him. But it’s him, who’ll have to prove he’s good enough to the coach.” 「想在 NBA 成功站稳脚步，我的方程式包含三个要素：教练对你有没有爱、努力再努力 ，和老天爷的帮忙。」AK 说道。「基本上，我想 Aleksey 在这里拥有绝佳机会，但一切 操之在他。当然，我会全力帮助他，但向教练展现实力是他的工作。」 AK-47 also says he realizes that – unlike CSKA and Russia – he’s not going to be the leader of the Timberwolves. 与中央陆军和俄罗斯国家队不同，AK 了解他不必跳出来当领导者。 “It is clear that Minnesota – is first of all a team of Kevin Love,” he stressed. “During the last two years, he’s come a long way – from just a very good player to an NBA superstar. And it’s him, who’ll move the Wolves in the coming years. But, no matter how great you are, you can’t win alone. All superheroes have assistants, who are always ready to support them in their hour of need. That that’s the other thing on my job description.” 「很明显地，Love 是灰狼的台柱。」他强调说。「过去两年，他熬过一条漫长成长道 路，从一名优秀球员晋升为一名明星球员。在可见未来，他将带领这支球队。但是，再 强大的球员，也无法单靠一己之力。超级英雄也会面临须要助手协助的危急时刻。这会 在我的工作项目之一。」 Kirilenko is currently resting after a long season and is expected to arrive at Minnesota’s training camp in the last days of September. 经历忙碌夏天，AK 正享受难得的假期，预计在九月底向灰狼队报到。 --
