He said this team can score, will get to the free-throw line and is willing to share the ball. “We have to get turnovers down a bit,” he said. “You eliminate all the ways you beat yourself first.” 这支球队可以得分、可以赚罚球也愿意分享球， 但我们需要降低失误。这让你把自己打死了。 ‧ On Towns: “It’s pretty amazing for a first-year guy to come in and do the things he did. There’s obviously room for growth. But his skill set is very unusual. He has the potential to be very good defensively, with his rebounding, his shot blocking. The way he plays the game, the way he sees the game, he has the ability to make other players better. He had a very impressive first year, but it’s just the beginning. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done to move the group forward.” 对Towns的看法： 一个新人能够做到他这个地步真的让人惊艳，但还是有很明显的成长空间。他的天赋是出 类拔萃的。观察他的篮板、火锅，他有潜力在防守上做的非常好。他的打法、他的视野让 他有能力去让其他球员打得更好。他的新人年让人印象深刻，但这只是个开始，还有很多 工作要做来让球队更好。 ‧ On Wiggins: “He impressed me the way he scored against us when I was still coaching. He made it look easy. I think the challenge — not only him but for his teammates — is there’s going to have to be dramatic improvement defensively. You have to make a commitment in that area. The players are too good in this league to guard individually. You need to have five-man defense in all aspects. If one guy’s not doing his job, the group is going to look bad.” 对Wiggins的看法： 当我还在公牛执教时，他在我们身上展现的得分手段让我印象深刻。他让得分看起来很容 易。我认为挑战在於(不只是他，而是包含队友)，他必须大幅改善他的防守。你必须在防 守上做奉献。联盟中的球员很难一对一的守住，你必须随时有一个五人防守阵型。只要其 中一个人没有做好他的工作，整支球队的防守看起来都会很烂。 ‧ On Rubio: “All players have their strengths and weaknesses and Ricky has established himself as a very good player. So we’re excited about that. The point guard position is such an important position in the way the team functions. You need to have a good understanding where guys like to get the ball, who has a good matchup, what’s going on in the game and keep the team organized and I think Ricky’s really strong in those areas.” 对Rubio的看法： 每个球员都有优缺点，而Ricky已经证明他是一个非常好的球员。我对此感到兴奋。控球後 卫对於球队运行而言是非常重要的位置，你必须很好的了解到队友喜欢在哪个位置拿球、 谁有一个错位单打的机会、比赛现况掌握、持续组织球队，而我认为Ricky在这些方面都做 的很好。 ‧ On LaVine: “I thought he improved a lot. I’m excited at what he can do. He improved his shooting, his defense and his rebounding as well.” 对LaVine的看法： 我认为他改善很多，我对於他能做到什麽感到兴奋。他改善了他的投篮、他的防守，也改 善了他的篮板球。 Thibodeau plans to arrive in Minneapolis early next week. He intends to meet or talk with as many players as possible and will start assembling a coaching staff by first talking with the team’s current assistants. Thibs计画下周到Minneapolis，跟尽量多的球员做面谈， 也要开始组建助教团，会先从球队目前的助教群做面谈筛选。 --
