http://tinyurl.com/9dhbynf Russia’s top basketball player, Andrei Kirilenko, sees supporting Kevin Love and inspiring younger players as his main tasks at the Minnesota Timberwolves. -Kirilenko is returning to the NBA this summer after a very successful year with CSKA Moscow and a bronze medal performance with Russia at the London Olympics. 輔佐 Kevin Love 並且激勵年輕球員，以上是 Andrei Kirilenko 認為他在灰狼的主要 任務。 “[Minnesota coach, Rick Adelman] said that he was glad that I’m coming,” he told Sport-Express newspaper. “He said he didn’t expect that they’ll be able to drag me out from Russia as I was doing so well with CSKA. We’ve known each other for a long time, since Utah and his Sacramento were fighting in the playoffs.” 「Adelman 很高興得知我加盟。」AK 向報社記者表示說。「他曾說過他不預期球隊能把 我從俄羅斯挖角過來，原因是我在中央陸軍過得順利。因為過去常在季後賽碰頭，我們 長期對彼此熟悉。」 “According to Adelman, he sees me as a sort of a bear leader – an experienced player, who’ll be an example for the young talent Minnesota has in the squad, ”the 31-year-old added. 「如同 Adelman 所說，他認為我能扮演球隊導師：一名有經驗，能在後生晚輩面前樹立 典範的球員。」 One of those talents will be Kirilenko’s compatriot Aleksey Shved, who also joined the team before the Olympics. AK 同胞 Aleksey Shved 是當中的一名青年才俊。 “I have my own formula of success in the NBA, which consists of three components: coach’s trust, hard work and luck,” Andrei said. “Basically, I think that Aleksey has a very good chance here. But it depends on him, whether he’ll take advantage of them. Of course, I'll do everything to help him. But it’s him, who’ll have to prove he’s good enough to the coach.” 「想在 NBA 成功站穩腳步，我的方程式包含三個要素：教練對你有沒有愛、努力再努力 ，和老天爺的幫忙。」AK 說道。「基本上，我想 Aleksey 在這裡擁有絕佳機會，但一切 操之在他。當然，我會全力幫助他，但向教練展現實力是他的工作。」 AK-47 also says he realizes that – unlike CSKA and Russia – he’s not going to be the leader of the Timberwolves. 與中央陸軍和俄羅斯國家隊不同，AK 了解他不必跳出來當領導者。 “It is clear that Minnesota – is first of all a team of Kevin Love,” he stressed. “During the last two years, he’s come a long way – from just a very good player to an NBA superstar. And it’s him, who’ll move the Wolves in the coming years. But, no matter how great you are, you can’t win alone. All superheroes have assistants, who are always ready to support them in their hour of need. That that’s the other thing on my job description.” 「很明顯地，Love 是灰狼的台柱。」他強調說。「過去兩年，他熬過一條漫長成長道 路，從一名優秀球員晉升為一名明星球員。在可見未來，他將帶領這支球隊。但是，再 強大的球員，也無法單靠一己之力。超級英雄也會面臨須要助手協助的危急時刻。這會 在我的工作項目之一。」 Kirilenko is currently resting after a long season and is expected to arrive at Minnesota’s training camp in the last days of September. 經歷忙碌夏天，AK 正享受難得的假期，預計在九月底向灰狼隊報到。 --
