http://tinyurl.com/92qw62o Kirilenko, considered the Wolves' top offseason acquisition, remained home in Moscow to spend extra time with his family after leading Russia to the bronze medal in the London Olympics. AK 被视为灰狼此次休兵期间最重要补强。在带领俄罗斯国家队夺得敦奥铜牌後，把握难 得空档留在莫斯科陪伴家人。 The 6-foot-9 Russian revealed Friday that it was never his intention to stay at home. Though he was named the most valuable player of the Euroleague and loved the adulation of hometown fans, returning to the NBA was always on his mind. 透露留在家乡不是他的打算。虽然他拿下欧洲联赛最有价值球员，也喜爱当地球迷对他 的支持，但重回 NBA 的想法不曾动摇。 "Getting back to this huge, huge stage of basketball is a big deal for me," Kirilenko said. "I didn't think I would stay in Russia a long time. The lockout gave me a chance to play for Russian fans, but I always thought I would get back to the NBA." 「能重返这个篮球最高殿堂对我来说意义重大。」AK 说。「我始终认为停留在俄罗斯的 时间不会太久。封馆提供我一个回馈俄罗斯球迷的机会，但重回 NBA 仍是最终目标。」 He signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Wolves over the summer, and he is expected to be the team's starting small forward. He brings several elements the Wolves didn't have at the position last season: defense, playmaking ability and perimeter scoring. A front line featuring Kirilenko, Kevin Love and center Nikola Pekovic has the potential to make the Wolves a vastly improved team. AK 与灰狼完成签约，预料是球员先发小前锋。防守、组织能力，和外围取分，他在这位 置能替球队带来许多帮助。搭配 Love 和 Pekovic 的前场组合，让灰狼实力有潜力大幅 提升。 --- Kirilenko declined to identify the other teams that were talking to him. Wolves appeared to have a significant advantage with coach Rick Adelman, who played a critical role in landing Kirilenko. AK 不愿明讲有哪几支球队与他交涉过，但显然总教头 Rick Adelman 扮演关键人物。 "Rick Adelman always called me," Kirilenko said of the Wolves' pursuit. "He explained I could be an important part of the team. The style is definitely one that I like. I've always been a fan of Adelman when he was in Sacramento. I can see it's going to be a fun season." 「Adelman 一直透过电话与我连系。」AK 提到灰狼争取他加盟。「教练向我解释我在 球队的重要性，球队风格必然是我喜爱的。我一直是他的球迷，这将是一个充满乐趣的 球季。」 --- Kirilenko planned to get his first workout in Friday night with Wolves assistant coaches. The team begins training camp Tuesday at Minnesota State Mankato. AK 周五晚上与助理教练进行报到後首次调整训练。季前训练营将在下周二(台湾时间下 周三)展开。 --- http://tinyurl.com/8z8k654 He’ll join the Wolves as the team’s most veteran player, only days younger than guard Luke Ridnour but with longer tenure in the NBA. He said he’s prepared to take on a role as a veteran leader, calling on his 10 years of experience with the Utah Jazz and following a similar role he had with Team Russia. 虽然比 Ridnour 年轻几天，但论资历，AK 是目前阵中最资深的成员。十年旅爵，以及 带领俄罗斯国家队的经验，他表示已经准备好成为球队精神领袖。 “I feel very comfortable in that position,” Kirilenko said. 「很熟悉这样的角色。」AK 说。 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/A35vKaWCEAAMS0r.jpg 和 Rubio 合照 --
