http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_19616054 Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman has spent so much time working on fundamentals with the team - specifically, ballhandling and defense - that he likely will go into Monday night's season opener against Oklahoma City at Target Center with a limited offense. Adelman said most of his offense has yet to be introduced to the players. "We've held back a little on putting some things in," Adelman said after Saturday morning's practice. "It's a matter of executing what we have in now. We're still turning the ball over a lot. Sometimes we're better off just shooting the ball and seeing if we can rebound it." Adelman was hesitant to identify a starting lineup for Monday's game or his rotations behind the starters. He mentioned, however, that "it's no secret" who might start. If Adelman maintains the lineup that started the two exhibition games against Milwaukee, Kevin Love and Michael Beasley will be at the forward spots, with Darko Milicic in the middle and Wesley Johnson and Luke Ridnour in the backcourt. "I haven't talked much with my staff about rotations off the bench," Adelman said. "A lot of that depends on Oklahoma City. They've got some weapons. We might have to change things." 聖誕假期前最後一次練球，Adelman 仍持續將重心放在基本功上，尤其是運球和防守。 此外，Adelman 還未將他大部分的進攻戰術交給球員，開季後主打的進攻戰術會單純化 ，再由簡入繁。根據 Adelman 觀察球隊練球後的說法，現階段他只強調戰術執行效率 ，確實完成下達的戰術，但失誤仍偏多，所以 Adelman 認為最好先將一切簡化。 至於先發陣容，Adelman 沒有明講，記者猜測和熱身賽第一場相同。球員輪替方面， Adelman 表示還沒與教練團討論，但會根據對手來作調整。 --- Backup center Nikola Pekovic missed his fourth day of practice because of a groin injury and will not play Monday. Adelman said Pekovic could be out at least a week before he can resume practicing. 傷兵消息 Adelman 表示 Pekovic 的鼠蹊部傷勢可能需要至少一個星期的休養。 --
