That will mean Ricky Rubio's first kind of NBA game action will come against Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings, the guy who spent a season in Europe and who before the 2009 draft called Rubio all hype. Nice, little interesting storyline to start out with, isn't it? The NBA has paired teams up geographically -- Nets-Knicks, Clippers-Lakers, Kings-Warriors, Wolves-Bucks, etc. -- for a pair of home-and-home games that will be the only game preparation as the league rushes to start the 66-game season on Christmas Day. Dates for the two Bucks-Wolves games are TBD, but they'll be somewhere in that week or so before Christmas. Training camps open on Dec. 9 and the NBA likely will give teams at least a week before they play a game. 期待許久的競賽開始前......灰狼隊準備與公鹿隊舉辦兩場季前賽 儘管公鹿面對灰狼季前賽的詳細日期還在確定當中，但這是今年灰狼隊的第一次， 也是Rubio的第一次，他的第一場放對的對手將是Brandon Jennings，一個遠渡重洋的小子 面對著另一個遠渡重洋的小子，這樣的故事情節是不是特別有趣呢? 在聖誕節前，NBA特別準備了相近地區的對戰：籃網VS尼克 快艇VS湖人 國王VS勇士 灰狼VS公鹿 訓練營將在12月9日展開，NBA會給各個球隊最少一個星期時間準備 Free agent forward Chuck Hayes has five teams expressing strong interest in him and his agent told FOX 26 Sports Hayes could be ready to make a decision by the weekend. "The teams that are involved with Chuck Hayes are the Portland Trailblazers, the Toronto Raptors, the Houston Rockets, the Sacramento Kings and the Minnesota Timberwolves," Calvin Andrews said. "That's our focus right now." 已經有5隊表達對Chuck Hayes強烈的興趣，這5隊分別是Portland Trail blazers、 Toronto Raptors、Houston Rockets、Sacramento Kings、Minnesota Timberwolves ，而可能這個週末Hayes就會作出決定了。 Kevin Love says he feels lighter on his feet after months of offseason workouts helped him shed 20 pounds from his 6-9, 265-pound frame. “It was taking care of my body, eating the right foods, getting sleep and training the right way,” Love says. “More than anything, I paid attention to what I ate.” Love led the league in rebounding last season and at times displayed an improved floor game. “I’ve worked a lot on my midrange game,” Love says. “I’m going to try to get back into the post more this season. I want to take a step forward with my game. “Players are made with their work throughout the summer. I want to come back with one or two new things this season.” 新科籃板王Kevin Love再減掉20磅以上的重量後感覺未來是一片光明。 Love表示他非常在意他的身材，因此他透過良好的飲食適當的睡眠與有效的訓練 讓他能擁有這麼曼妙的身材。 Love正在不斷努力加強他的中距離，並且打算將這項能力大量應用到今年賽季 ，他想對球隊的比賽內容做出更多幫助。 Josh Smith would still welcome a trade from the Hawks, according to sources. GM Rick Sund has told rival executives that everyone on his team is available, though he would be reluctant to move Al Horford. The Wolves held talks with Atlanta around the NBA Draft. Josh Smith對交易一事仍然保持樂觀看待，老鷹隊的總管Sund也表示球隊的任一位球員 都可以是被交易對象 灰狼隊有跟老鷹隊以NBA選秀討論著Smith，只是還沒啥大略的概廓 --
