※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： : http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/sports/basketball/16593125.htm : Rashad McCants is back. : McCants made his season debut with the Timberwolves with 10:08 left in the : second quarter Wednesday night, drawing applause from the Target Center crowd : The move wasn't entirely unexpected. Coach Randy Wittman said before the game : against the Sacramento Kings that McCants might play. McCants has been : sidelined since having right knee surgery in June and missed the first 44 : games. Rashad McCants回來了。 McCants星期三晚上在中場前10:08帶著滿場觀眾的掌聲上陣，這是他本季首場比賽。 他的上場還算意料中事。 教頭Wittman在對國王賽前就有提到McCants可能會上場。 McCants自從六月右膝手術之後就一直坐在場邊，目前為止缺席了44場球賽。 : McCants had microfracture surgery, a procedure that derailed the careers of : more than a few NBA players. But others have overcome it, including Phoenix : Suns star Amare Stoudemire. McCants is looking to become the next success : story. McCants作了個極精密的手術，這種手術曾終結過好幾個NBA球員的運動生涯。 但也有些康復的例子，包括太陽隊球星Amare Stoudemire。 希望McCants會是第二個成功案例。 : "Congratulations," Kevin Garnett told McCants in the locker room. "Now you : can take all your frustrations out on those guys (the Kings)." : Replied McCants: "It's been seven long months." : He made his first shot of the game, a layup under the basket after a nice : pass from Garnett, and played 4 minutes, 38 seconds in the second quarter. He : finished with two points. The game, which the Wolves lost 100-98, marked a : reintroduction for McCants and not much more. "恭喜，"KG在休息是對McCants說。 "現在你可以把所有嘔氣都出在他們身上(國王隊)。" McCants回答:"整整七個月阿..." 他第一個field goal是個接獲KG助攻的上籃，並在第二節打了四分三十八秒。 整場比賽拿到兩分。 這場比賽灰狼以100-98輸給國王， 所以這場比賽有意義之處就是McCants的復活，僅此而已。 : "I wish I could have done a little bit more to help the team tonight," : McCants said. "I just have to continue to prove myself, and in practice keep : working day by day, and just do whatever I can to help the team." : McCants was on the active list for the first time this season Saturday night : against the Los Angeles Clippers but did not play. : McCants was the team's lottery pick in the 2005 draft and had a promising : rookie season, averaging 7.9 points a game. "我真希望今晚能為球隊作更多事，" McCants說 "我必須持續證明自己，每天持續練習，做好任何我能做的來幫助球隊。" McCants的名字在上星期六對快艇隊的晚上第一次被放在活動名單(active list)中， 雖然那晚他沒有出賽。 McCants是灰狼2005年選中的球員，他的新人年看起來很有前途，每場平均拿下7.9分。 : Wittman, who coached in Orlando last season, said he isn't quite sure how he : will use McCants because of his limited experience coaching him. : Ricky 'D': Wolves veteran Ricky Davis was charged with guarding elite point : guards the past three games: former Wolf and current Clippers point guard Sam : Cassell, Phoenix all-star Steve Nash and then Sacramento's Mike Bibby on : Wednesday night. 去年在奧蘭多執教的Wittman說，他還不太確定要怎麼使用McCants， 因為他對McCants執教的時間並不多。 狼群老將Ricky Davis過去三場比賽都負責看守對方精英級的控球後衛， 包括前灰狼球員的快艇隊控衛外星螞蟻人Sam Cassell(sorry我覺得他真的很像螞蟻XD)， 太陽全明星Steve Nash還有國王Mike Bibby。 : "I guess I'm the new Scottie Pippen," Davis said. : At 6 feet 7, Davis has the height and length to bother shorter point guards. : But he's never been known for his defensive skills, and in fact was one of : the Wolves' worst defenders last season. He struggled defensively Wed-nesday : night. "我覺得我是新一代的Scottie Pippen，" Davis說 6呎7吋，Davis有很好的高度與臂長來干擾通常小他一號的控球後衛。 但他過去從來不以防守著稱，事實上，去年球季他算是灰狼隊防守最差的球員。 : Against the Clippers, Davis' offense appeared to suffer as he scored just 11 : points. : "He hasn't shown me any reason that he can't defend," Wittman said. : "Concentration is his main thing." : Said Davis: "When it's working, I guess I like it. When it's not working, : it's kind of tough." : Briefly: Rookie Randy Foye was voted to participate in the Rookie Challenge : and Youth Jam game as part of the all-star weekend festivities in Las Vegas. : Foye averages 8.9 points and 2.3 assists. His squad of rookies, who include : Brandon Roy and Adam Morrison, will face NBA sophomores. : ‧ Forward Justin Reed returned from Mississippi on Tuesday after spending : several days with his ill mother. 對快艇的時候他只拿11分，進攻不順。 "沒有跡象顯示他不能防守，" Wittman說。 "專注就是你在他身上看到的東西，" Davis說:"當有效果的時候，我就開始喜歡這件事。當沒效果時，是有點難熬。" Briefly: 菜鳥Foye被選上參加菜鳥挑戰賽與Youth灌籃賽，就在拉斯維加斯的全明星週。 他平均拿下8.9分與2.3助攻。 他的球隊隊友包括Brandon Roy 跟 Adam Morrison，將對上二年級生球隊。 前鋒Justin Reed星期二從密西西比回來球隊，他回去陪生病的媽媽幾天。 --
