http://0rz.tw/RRxyG LONDON - David Blatt is a proud American who works as an elite coach in his ancestral home of Israel and coaches the Russian basketball team. He said "Shalom'' to a television camera before the playing of the Russian national anthem, and he has resuscitated the Russians' drowning national team. David Blatt 是名老美，也是一名替祖國以色列工作的出色教練，並同時執掌俄羅斯 男籃兵符。開賽演奏俄羅斯國歌前，他對著攝影機說了一聲「Shalom」。俄羅斯國家 隊在他的帶領下逐漸找回過往榮耀。 Wednesday he gesticulated and screamed on the sideline as the most surprising team in the Olympic basketball tournament advanced to the semifinals. With future Timberwolf Andrei Kirilenko sprinting around the court like a younger version of himself, the Russians beat Lithuania 83-74 at North Greenwich Arena. They'll play Spain on Friday, probably for the right to face the United States for the gold medal. 週三，站在邊線的他仍舊不斷向球員打手勢、喊叫，同時間，這支敦奧男籃最令人驚 奇的球隊也挺進準決賽。在場上奔馳的 Andrei Kirilenko 宛如年輕十歲般。最後比 數83比74，週五他們將遭遇西班牙。 Kirilenko had 19 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks, playing with the kind of passion Americans rarely see out of their men's Olympic team. 19分、13板、3助攻、3抄截，外加3鍋，除了帳面上成績，Kirilenko 在打球時帶有 的激情是美國人很難從自家男籃隊感受到的。 "Andrei is the greatest player in the history of Russian basketball, bar none," Blatt said. "And he is here of his own volition and leading us with his heart. In Russia, he is a Michael Jordan-like figure for us. He is our best player. He is also our hardest worker and our leader. And with him it is all coming from the heart." 「毫無疑問，Andrei 是俄羅斯籃球史上的最佳球員。」Blatt 說。「他憑著意志和那 顆心帶領著我們。在俄羅斯，他擁有類似MJ的形象。同時他也是球隊裡最認真的球員， 我們的領導者。這一切都來自他的那顆心。」 The Russians' other incoming Timberwolves player, Alexey Shved, continued his uneven play, and Blatt kept sending him onto -- and pulling him off of -- the court in the second half. Shved finished with four points on 2-for-12 shooting. He had six assists while running the pick-and-roll effectively, but he also had four turnovers. 另一名準灰狼球員 Alexey Shved 則持續低檔表現，Blatt 在下半場不斷觀察他的狀況 進行調度。Shved 手感不佳僅12投2中，有效地與隊友搭配高位擋拆，傳出6次助攻，但 也發生4次失誤。 "I'm happy we won the game," Shved said. "I'm not happy about my play. Well, I played defense and I helped the team, but I did not shoot well." 「很高興我們獲得勝利。」Shved 說。「但我很不滿意自己的表現。雖然我能在其他方 面做出貢獻，但今天手感真的不好。」 Blatt is hard on Shved, but Shved didn't flinch when his coach was mentioned. "He is a very good coach. He makes us better," Shved said. "I just have to play better." Blatt 對 Shved 嚴格，但 Shved 不會因此退縮，「他是一名很棒的教練，他讓我們成 長茁壯。」Shved 說。「我要做的就是拿出好表現。」 --
