http://tinyurl.com/9clhdfe If there’s one Timberwolves player who is a staple of the LifeTime Fitness Training Center’s weight room, it’s center Nikola Pekovic. It’s one of his favorite spots to be. 去一趟标靶中心的重训室，势必看得到 Pekovic 的身影，那是他最爱去的地方之一。 “I can’t really explain it,” Pekovic said. “I just like it. I just like being in the weight room. I just feel really comfortable.” 「实在无法解释。」Pekovic 说。「没有什麽原因，我就是喜爱这里让我舒适的感觉。」 --- Much of Pekovic’s strength on the court comes from his tireless workout routine, which stretches year-round. Whether he’s training during the summer in Montenegro—he built his father a house in his native country, equipped with a weight room—or training in Minnesota during the season, Pekovic is always trying to challenge himself and improve his strength. Pekovic 的力量来自於全年无休自主训练。不管在家乡蒙地内哥罗，或是球季间在明州。 He came back to camp this year eight pounds lighter, though his body is much leaner and, it appears, even stronger than a year ago. 这次向球队报到时较去年减去八磅，虽然瘦了，但更加结实。 He began lifting weights when he was 17 or 18 years old, and it was an activity that not only helped prepare him for a career in basketball but also became a natural, enjoyable pastime. He said he’s always worked with a structured routine, even now working with strength and conditioning coach Keke Lyles to find the optimal workout for whatever part of the calendar year he’s in. 从17、18岁起开始了重训人生，不只替篮球生涯准备，也培养成自然的消遣活动。他表 示始终循着一个完善的日常程序，甚至现在还和体能教练 Keke Lyles 合作，找寻一套 最适的训练菜单，应付全年各种状况。 His workouts tone down during the regular season due to fatigue of the NBA schedule, but that doesn’t mean he’s not visible hitting the weights after practice. 球季间因为比赛的疲劳，重训量减少，但不代表练球後在健身房见不到他。 --- “Every day is a challenge,” Pekovic said. “For me, every day is a challenge on the court, in the weight room. Whatever I’m doing, every day is a challenge. ” 「每一天都是新的挑战。」Pekovic 说。「对我来说，每天在球场上，在健身房，都是 挑战。」 --- http://tinyurl.com/968hp9r It was a message the coaching staff and trainers preached to Pekovic as he left Minnesota last season. Already set to undergo surgery for bone spurs in his right ankle in May, the Wolves’ staff made it clear in order to stay healthy in an 82-game season where he’d likely log even more minutes, he’d need to get lighter and build his core and lower body strength. 为了应付82场例行赛事，以及可能的大量上场时间，教练团和训练师给 Pekovic 设定目 标：减轻体重，加强身体核心以及下盘强度。 With Pekovic, ask and you shall receive. 有 Pekovic 在，做任何事都有成就感。 “That’s what I love about Pek,” Bayno said. “He’s such a coachable kid. He's as high an IQ player we have. You tell him to do something one time, you do it one time, and he does it immediately. That’s what makes him fun to work with, and I think the sky’s the limit for him. I think he could have a breakout year and be better than anyone expects.” 「这是为何我很喜欢和 Pek 合作的原因。」Bayno 说。「他很受教，有很高篮球智商。 你指导他如何做，他立刻就会，所以跟他工作很有趣。我认为他的前途无可限量。」 Bayno and Pekovic spent two weeks together training two to three hours each day in preparation for this fall’s Training Camp. The objective was to build on the skill set Pekovic already has and expand in some areas they didn’t quite have enough time to master during the shortened lockout season a year ago—in particular his ability to finish with his left hand, something opposing teams honed in on in their scouting reports. 为了准备季前训练营，Bayno 和 Pekovic 花了两个星期，每天训练两到三小时。目标 是琢磨 Pekovic 原本擅用的技巧，也学习其他原本没时间学习的部分，特别是左手终 结攻势能力。 --
