http://www.twincities.com/timberwolves/ci_19616056 Rick Adelman often will sit by himself in a corner of the Timberwolves' practice facility to observe his new team without distractions. Adelman appears to have a comfortable view of what's going on and relaxes in his seat until he sees something he can't ignore - a turnover, a poor pass or a defensive mistake. If he believes the mistakes are major, he will get out of his chair and stop the drills or scrimmage to address the matter. "Any time he feels the need to make a specific point, he's going to stop things and make it," Wolves assistant coach T.R. Dunn said. "When you're with a new group, you want to bring things out right away." 練習場的某個角落，Adelman 時常放鬆地坐在那，觀看球員練球。他不會打擾球員們， 直到看見一些無法忽視的問題，他才起身暫停場上的練球，立刻解決問題。 助理教練 T.R. Dunn 也表示，當 Adelman 覺得有必要解決的問題，他會即刻進行。尤 其當大家還處在磨合階段。 --- Adelman would not have his track record if not for his insistence on good ballhandling and team defense, two areas he is trying to upgrade in his first season with the Wolves. "I've been doing this a long time," he said. "One thing we'll be doing here is a lot of development. Things have to change. If they really want to get better, they'll have to get out of their comfort zone of doing things they used to." 良好的運球和團隊防守，這兩個部份是 Adelman 執教以來很堅持的地方，他會試著協助 灰狼提升這兩個區塊。他明白的說，我們必須在許多方面做提升，很多事情要改變。如 果球員們想要進步，他們必須徹底擺脫過去的陋習。 --- Adelman might harp on a daily basis about taking care of the ball and getting back on defense, but he is getting little resistance from Wolves players. They welcome the determined approach after winning only 32 games the past two seasons. "Coach means business," shooting guard Wesley Johnson said. "He believes in getting his point across. I'm looking forward to having a season with him." Adelman 也許很嘮叨，尤其對於自己重視的環節，不過至少球員們對他很信服。 Wesley Johnson 表示，教練會堅持把自己的觀點清楚傳達，很期待接受他的指導。 --- The Wolves, who have had seven consecutive losing seasons, represent another rebuilding job for Adelman, but his approach and principles haven't changed. He is just as particular and demanding as he has been throughout his coaching career, and the Wolves are counting on those traits to help create a winning product. The changes already are evident. "The atmosphere around here and in practice is so much different," Wolves all-star forward Kevin Love said. "You have to pay Adelman his respects. You just feel a different energy. You couldn't say that in years past. It feels good." 接下灰狼總教練職位，這個充滿挑戰的任務，但 Adelman 不會改變他的執教方式和紀律 ，而灰狼也希望他能幫助球隊帶回渴望許久的贏球。改變已經逐步在進行中。 Kevin Love 蠻贊同的，他認為球員在練球時的氣氛，和以往有很大不同。大家都很尊敬 教練，不自覺會更加賣力，這是過去幾年所看不到的。 --- "Every time we played Houston, I was always confused as a defender," Wolves power forward Anthony Tolliver said. "Their offense was always moving. Their guys were never in the same place. You always wondered how and where the ball was going. I'm so glad that will be us this year. We get to confuse somebody else now." Anthony Tolliver 也談到過去對於 Adelman 的印象，他回想和火箭交手的經驗，他們 在進攻時，球員的走位頻繁，面對球會如何和往哪邊流動總是讓對手感到困惑。他很高 興能在 Adelman 身邊學習。 --- 希望真的有一番新氣象，加油! --
