Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman stopped by Target Center to address the team on Wednesday. Adelman has missed the last five games to be with his wife in the hospital, and he still does not have a timetable to return. 错过许多比赛的Adelman今天有来到Target Center。 “We saw him today,” forward Derrick Williams said. “He came to talk to us for a little bit. We can’t go over the details of what’s going on, but he came to talk to us and kept our spirits up. It was good seeing him.” DW：「今天很高兴见到他出现在这里，也与他有着一段简短的对话， 这一切让我们的整个团队士气向上翻幅了不少。」 Assistant coach Terry Porter has assumed interim head coaching duties, and he was glad that Adelman was able to connect with the team, if only for a brief visit. 公式教练Porter也很高兴看到Adelman与球队重新展开联系，虽然只有短短 的一些时间。 “It was good for the guys to see him,” Porter said. “It was good to have him there and give an update on everything. I think every guy just said ‘hang in there,’ it was that type of environment. He spoke, gave that kind of update.” Porter：「任何人看到他都会觉得很舒服，他能让任何事情更加向上提升， 我想他就像是吉祥娃娃一样，每个人都想要把他放在身边附近，只要一遇到艰难 时他一开口说话，事情都会变得好转起来。」 The Wolves were short-handed again on Wednesday, as Andrei Kirilenko, Alexey Shved and Lazar Hayward all missed the workout due to illness. That left the Wolves with just eight players participating, and it meant Porter needed to get creative with how he put the lineups together. 今天练习时AK、喜美、灵媒师都因为被病魔悄悄打了一下而没来参加练习， 所以这次的练习只有8位球员参与其中，这也考验着Porter今天如何去搞好练习阵容。 The answer? Assistant coach Bill Bayno and player development coach Shawn Respert each filled in and helped make a 5-on-5 situation. 所以怎麽解决呢? 就是把助理教练Bill Bayno与球员发展教练Shawn Respert 塞到球队当中，足够在分组5对5时有适足的人数分队对抗。 Porter said Respert, a standout at Michigan State and a former NBA player, still has his jump shot intact. Porter说Respert的精湛投篮技能还是原封不动的完好。 "His jumpshot is still sharp," Porter said. "You don't lose the jumpshot. If you're a jump shooter, you don't lose that. You just lose the legs." Porter：「他的投篮仍是这麽的犀利，如果是个射手，你遗失不了你的投篮能力 ，但你可以遗失你的金刚腿。」 Dante’s Shooting Slump DC进入了投篮挣扎 One thing the Wolves have seemingly been able to count on this season is Dante Cunningham’s mid-range jumper. With a tall release point and consistent form, Cunningham has made the area his bread and butter. Last game against Dallas, he shot just 6-for-18 (33 percent) from the field and struggled from his sweet spot near the free throw line. 面对小牛时DC投得很糟，而且是在他舒服的地方。 “They were just hitting back rim,” Cunningham said. “[It was] a combination of everything. Legs, form, getting touches. Nothing’s wrong, I just need to get them up.” DC：「我感觉整个体能状况与我的腿都不听使唤了，我需要让自己变得更好。」 Cunningham went back and reviewed his shots in Dallas like he does every game, and found nothing wrong with the shots he took. Coach Porter didn’t, either. DC回去看他在Dallas的比赛影像，他发现并没有什麽问题，Porter也这样认为。 “I’m not concerned about Dante’s shooting,” Porter said. “They’ve been all quality looks, all within his range. He works on his shot a lot. I’d be more concerned if he starts passing them up, and then that throws our offense out of wack. If we execute and he gets a wide open shot on a possession, we want him to take it. No matter who it is, if it’s in their rhythm, in their target spot, we just have to live with the results. We aren’t too concerned, we know he’s going to start knocking those down.” Porter：「对於DC投篮的问题我并不太在意，我只担心他会因命中不佳而 害怕继续投篮，他其实一值有再投射上下苦工，我们都知道他是个会越来越 进入状况的球员。」 Quick Hits Williams on only practicing with eight players today: “We had eight players today, but I think they’ll be back by tomorrow. They had a little sickness or whatever, but I think they’ll be alright.” DW：「今天只有8位球员来练习，我想缺席的球员明天都会归来的，因为他们 只是被病魔轻轻的打了一下而已，一定会迅速再站起来的。」 Cunningham on playing more minutes: “That can affect your shooting. It’s a different feeling after four or five games at 30+ minutes, your legs do feel different. I’m used to 25 minutes a game, and it’s just an adjustment. I need to make the adjustment quicker.” DC：「时间的增加真的对我造成了影响，我必须要尽速做好调整。」 --
