At 24-years-old and after just four NBA seasons Ricky Rubio finds himself as
one of the veterans in the Timberwolves’ locker room.
He is the team’s highest paid player after signing a four-year, $55 million
contract before last season and he knows he has the challenge of filling the
void between Minnesota’s veterans Kevin Garnett and Andre Miller and the team
’s young, exciting core – including Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns and
Zach LaVine.
現年24歲的Ricky Rubio只打過四個球季, 然而他發現自己已經是灰狼休息室的老將之一了.
Rubio與灰狼在上季開始前簽下了4年55M的合約, 他現在是隊中薪水最高的球員.
“We know we’re young and we’re building. At the same time, I think we’re
ready to win games. Last season we only won 16 games but it didn’t feel like
we were a losing team at all. We were just lacking some things. Me
personally, I have to go pull this team in the playoffs. I know it’s a big
challenge, but I think we have the right assets, the right weapons to get it.
I know we’re in the West side, it’s really tough, but I think we can make
it happen. I have big expectations for next season.”
"我們知道自己都還年輕, 而且我們正在成長. 我想我們準備好贏球了. 上一季我們只贏
16場比賽, 但我完全不覺得我們是輸家. 我們只是缺了點什麼東西而已. 以我個人來說,
我必須把球隊帶進季後賽. 我知道這是很大的挑戰, 但我相信我們有合適資源以及武器來
達到這目標. 我知道我們在西區, 所以這很難, 但相信我們能讓這個目標實現. 我對下個
球季有很高的期待."
A healthy Rubio may be the key to that. Minnesota was 7-and-15 in the 22
games he played last season. Injuries wiped out the rest of his year and the
team went 9-and-51 without him.
健康的Rubio可能是灰狼闖進季後賽的關鍵. 灰狼在Rubio打的22場比賽內拿到7勝15負.
然而傷病讓他缺席的剩餘賽事, 沒有Rubio灰狼戰績為9勝51負.
When healthy last season, Rubio put together some nice games. He averaged
10.3 points, 8.8 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals during those 22 games,
but the injuries have held the former European star to just one healthy NBA
season.
Rubio在那22場比賽繳出場均10.分, 8.8助攻, 5.7籃板以及1.7抄截的成績, 傷病讓這位
前歐洲球星只有一個健康的NBA球季.
