※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： 原文出處： : http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/basketball/12928523.htm -- : Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey doesn't seem too concerned with winning these : exhibition games. 灰狼教練D.Casey對於季前賽是否贏球似乎不那麼在乎 : Reserves Nikoloz Tskitishvili and Rashad McCants each hit a three-pointer in : the last two minutes of the game, and the Wolves defeated the Chicago Bulls : 97-89 at the United Center for their first exhibition victory in four games. 因為N.Tskitishvili和R.McCants在球賽最後兩分鐘內各噴進了一顆三分彈，灰狼因此 在他們已結束的前四場季前賽中的取得第一場勝利，於聯合中心球場以97比89擊敗公牛。 : "There's always value to winning, but it depends on what you're try to get : out of it," Casey said. "For us, we're trying to develop our bench." Casey說"贏球總是具有價值，不過這重要性將依你試著從中得到些什麼而定。對球隊 而言，我希望可以厚植板凳深度。" : Four of the eight exhibition games remain to evaluate what his bench players : can offer. 八場季前賽剩餘的那四場比賽，他仍會持續評估隊上的板凳球員能提供些什麼。 : He's trying to determine which rotations work best while focusing on teaching : his defensive schemes. He's trying to establish his sixth, seventh, eighth : and ninth players in the rotation, in particular. 專注於防守策略的教導時，他試著去確定什麼樣的陣容更替能提供最佳的效能。他特 別用心去尋找確認球隊的第六人、第七人、第八人以及第九人。 : It's becoming clearer which substitutes are commanding Casey's attention, : an indication of who might be most ready to contribute during the regular : season. Casey已經越來越清楚什麼樣的替補陣容是他想要的，這端看哪位球員已經準備好要在 例行賽中給予球隊幫助。 : Forwards Eddie Griffin and Mark Madsen are sure to be among the top reserves. : Tskitishvili has played considerable minutes, along with guards McCants, : Bracey Wright and Richie Frahm. 前鋒E.Griffin、M.Madsen已經確定會是主要的替補人選，Tskitishvili也將分攤掉相 當長的一段時間，接下來則分別是後衛McCants、B.Wright及R.Frahm。 : Frahm figures to play an integral role in situations where the Wolves need : outside shooting. It's a void that was created when the team lost Fred Hoiberg : to offseason heart surgery. 當灰狼需要外線時，Frahm被期待能扛下這個不可或缺的重責大任。尤其當暑假休兵期 間，F.Hoiberg因心臟手術而離隊後，球隊外線不佳的缺點更是表露無遺。 : Casey has spoken highly of McCants and Wright during the exhibition season, : although he emphasizes that both players need to improve defensively. Casey很推崇菜鳥McCants和Wright在季前賽中的表現，雖然他特別強調這兩名球員仍 須特別加強防守功夫。 : McCants began Monday's game leading the team in scoring with 13 points a game. : Casey has said Wright "plays like he belongs." McCants在禮拜一的比賽中取得全隊最高的13分，Casey說Wright看來似乎已融入球隊 之中。 : On the other end of the spectrum, third-year pro Ndudi Ebi and rookie Dwayne : Jones are not likely to contribute significantly any time soon. They need : time to develop, Casey believes. 在另一頭，已打了三季的N.Ebi和菜鳥D.Jones則似乎無法立即做出有效的貢獻。Casey 相信他們還需要一些時間。 : Jones probably will play in the NBADL this season. It's too early to say how : much. Jones本季可能會被下放到發展聯盟，現在要說些什麼都還太早。 : The Wolves want Jones to adapt to the physical nature of playing in the post : at the professional level. A 6-foot-11, 250-pound center, Jones is not skinny : but certainly could stand to gain weight and learn to deal with contact around : the basket. 灰狼希望Jones可以適應職業比賽籃下身體碰撞的激烈程度。身為一個中鋒，6呎11加 上250磅的體重，，Jones並不屬於排骨中鋒，不過很肯定的就是他還可以持續增重以便在 在禁區內討生活。 : "It wouldn't do him any good to sit at the end of our bench," Casey said. Casey說"讓他坐在板凳的最末端，對他並不會有什麼實質上的幫助。" : Ebi would be an ideal candidate to join Jones in the developmental league, : but he has been on an NBA roster too long. His status as a third-year pro : means the Wolves can't send him down because the new collective bargaining : agreement doesn't allow it. Ebi原本應該會是和Jones一起待在發展聯盟的哥倆好，不過他已經待在NBA太久，他有 兩年的職業經歷正意味著灰狼不能將他送到發展聯盟，因為新版協商決議僅允許球隊將菜 鳥或只有一年NBA經歷的球員下放至發展聯盟。 : Casey said Ebi is an NBA-caliber player in athletic ability. But the other : parts of his game have been stunted by a lack of playing time during his : first two seasons in the league. Ebi played two games last season. Casey說Ebi就運動能力看來是塊打NBA的料子，不過其他部分都因為在聯盟中的前兩季 缺乏上場時間而未有顯著的成長，上一季他僅僅出賽兩場。 : He has played nine minutes in two exhibition games, the least of any player : on the team. 他在季前賽兩場比賽中共上場9分鐘，是隊上所有球員中上場時間最少的。 : "He has so much to learn," Casey said. Casey說"他還有太多東西需要學習了。" : Ebi and Jones watched from the bench as the Wolves took a 44-33 halftime lead. Ebi和Jones枯坐板凳上看著球隊在中場取得44比33的領先優勢。 : Kevin Garnett played 21 minutes Monday, in keeping with Casey's plan to limit : his playing time. Garnett scored 16 points and had 10 rebounds. K.Garnett禮拜一的比賽中上場的21分鐘內取得16分及10個籃板，Casey限制他上場時間 的計畫則持續進行當中。 : Garnett was involved in a scrap with Bulls forward Othella Harrington in the : first quarter. They then exchanged minor shoves.
