http://goo.gl/gNvOu "Chase could be our leading scorer off the bench," assistant coach Terry Porter said. "The way he can knock down threes is huge for us. It makes your offense flow a lot better when you can hit the three, and we have a chance to be a pretty good three-point shooting team." The three-point shot figures to be a key factor in the Wolves' offense with Love missing from the team's inside attack. Most of the Wolves' post-up game will revolve around center Nikola Pekovic. As long as the Wolves can regularly hit three-pointers, opponents will have difficulty double-teaming or trapping Pekovic in the lane. 替补球员中，Budinger 将是重要进攻箭头，他的外线能力对球队有很大帮助。尤其 在 Love 缺阵下，外围串联有助於 Pekovic 在禁区内发挥。 He also has the benefit of knowing coach Rick Adelman's system after playing for Adelman in Houston. "I know where to go in this system, where to be in the right spots, where to cut and where guys will be driving to," Budinger said after practice Thursday. "I know how coach likes to play guys and use his rotations. The bench will be key for us." 熟悉 Adelman 体系是 Budinger 的另一个优势，可以帮他缩短磨合期。他也了解教 练的用人习惯，板凳是关键。 --- http://goo.gl/qKpjX Wolves point guard Ricky Rubio did some light sprinting after Thursday's practice. He did not make sudden stops or cuts. Rubio is still prohibited from lateral movements but steadily has upgraded his footwork during his rehab from last season's major knee injury. Rubio 在最近一次练球做了一些短距离冲刺。横移动作目前球团还未放行，不过有缓 步地增加脚步方面训练。 --- http://tinyurl.com/9qqsuca Friday's finale was Adelman's last chance to see how his offense will operate without his two young stars. "I think we have an idea who we can go to," Adelman said. "Now we just narrow it down to what we can run for certain people during the game, try to simplify it a little bit. Without Kevin, it changes quite a bit what we're going to do. We got to go to our main guys and figure out how we're going to win." 在缺少两名主力下，进攻战术如何运作，周五热身赛提供 Adelman 最後观察机会。 「我想我们有些想法了。」Adelman 说。「现在我们尝试将一切简化，思考那些战术能 运用在特定球员身上。少了 Kevin，会有些改变。但仍需依赖其他主力，建立出胜利方 程式。」 --- But it's clear their defense -- team defense, because they lack a true shut-down defender -- is well ahead of Adelman's beloved offense, something he didn't expect. "It does surprise me," Adelman said. "I thought we'd shoot the ball a lot better than we have. I thought we'd be better at taking care of the ball in relation to assists. Those two areas have been different than I thought we'd be. "We're trying to find some kind of rhythm as a team and get used to it and I think defensively, they have bought into it. Now when we get in the regular season and start playing teams for real, some of the teams we play to start the season will be difficult matchups for us and we'll find out what we are. But the attitude is good with this group and I think they understand it'll be totally different." 团队防守发挥比进攻好，这是教练没预期到的。「这的确让我惊讶。」Adelman 说。 「我本来认为球员在投篮和护球这两个区块上会执行得比我预期的好。」 「我们不断在摸索团队节奏，并且适应它。防守上，我们发挥了团队合作精神。当然 ，进入例行赛，又是另一个局面。不过，球员们心态是良好的，他们会准备好。」 --
