[外電] 尼克球員要的是愛的教育?
Phil Who? Knicks Will Probably Play It Safe
For a decade, the Knicks conducted business like a crazed QVC addict with a
stack of limitless credit cards — lunging at every shiny object, no matter
the price or the consequences.
Instant gratification came in the form of Isiah Thomas and Larry Brown,
Stephon Marbury and Eddy Curry, Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. If
the name could light up a marquee, the Knicks were buying, whatever the cost.
Yet suddenly, with the franchise at a crossroads, Madison Square Garden has
gone inexplicably conservative.
Sometime soon (possibly this week), the Knicks are expected to remove Mike
Woodson’s interim title and make him the permanent head coach.
在尼克賽季結束之後,敲定下賽季主教練人選的任務正式擺上了日程。
據透露,可能不久之後(或許就在這個星期),尼克將把臨時主教練邁
克-伍德森扶正。
They will do so without making a single bid for the shiniest object on the
market: Phil Jackson, with his 11 sparkly championship rings.
如果做出這個舉動,那就意味著:尼克放棄了候選者菲爾-傑克遜(禪師)
,這位擁有11枚總冠軍戒指的著名教頭。
The Knicks had not contacted Jackson as of last week, according to people
close to the Hall of Fame coach. There is no guarantee that he would take the
job, but “he would listen,” one said.
直到上個星期,尼克遲遲未和“禪師”傑克遜接觸。一位消息人士稱,傑
克遜也不一定會接受這份工作,不過「他會聽取報價」。
Yet James L. Dolan, the Garden chairman, apparently does not intend to call.
He has already begun preliminary talks with Woodson on a multiyear extension,
according to people with ties to the Garden.
是的,尼克老闆詹姆斯-杜蘭看上去並不准備向禪師提交報價。據尼克內部
人士透露,杜蘭已經和伍德森就續約問題進行了初步的談判。
Woodson, a passionate teacher and motivator, is a perfectly reasonable choice.
作為一名有熱情的導師,伍德森有理由獲得這一職位。
The Knicks rallied under his leadership, going 18-6 to finish the season
before getting crushed by the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs.
He has the strong support of Anthony, Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler, the
Knicks’ three stars.
在伍德森的帶領下,尼克以18勝6負的出色戰績結束了例行賽,他個人也獲
得了尼克“三巨頭”——甜瓜、拳王和阿罵的強烈支持。
He has a solid résumé, having previously molded a young and impetuous
Atlanta Hawks roster into a stout playoff team. He is well liked and
respected around the league. No one will fault the Knicks for hiring him.
Woodson is the safe, conventional choice. Jackson, though infinitely more
successful, might be the riskier option, which could explain Dolan’s sudden
conservative streak.
Jackson is an iconoclast, a force of nature who marches to the beat of his
own bongos. He would clash spectacularly with the Garden’s staid corporate
culture, which is reason enough for Dolan to hesitate and for Jackson (if he
were offered the job) to balk.
Jackson can be brutally candid, a trait that is frowned upon at the Garden,
where “see no evil, speak no evil” is official policy. On any given day,
Jackson might publicly upbraid his players, needle opponents, insult a city
or tweak the commissioner’s office. He would violate the Garden’s infamous
news media rules within 32 seconds of his first news conference. He would
eventually write a book exposing the internal politics and hypocrisy.
And Jackson would learn, as Donnie Walsh did, that promises of autonomy —
whether in choosing personnel or choosing what to say — will ultimately
ring hollow.
相比於“禪師”,伍德森是一個更加安全、方便的選擇。傑克遜可能更加
“殘忍”,可能會在當選之後某天於媒體面前公開指責手下的球員們。不
過,傑克遜即便是在主教練位置,他在人員選擇以及情緒表達方面可能也
頗受限制,這一點唐尼 -沃爾什深有體會,畢竟生殺大權是在老闆杜蘭手
中。
There will apparently be no such tension with Woodson. He withheld any
criticism of his players throughout the five-game thrashing by the Heat. On
Thursday, when asked his parting message to the players, Woodson responded as
if reading from an MSG employee manual. “Nothing negative,” he said. “It’
s all positive.”
伍德森可能更加“友善”。在和熱火的五場比賽中,尼克球員們犯下的錯
誤,全部被伍德森攬下來; 近一次記者問 Woodson 給球員們本季的的最
終評語或者是臨別一語 (parting message) Woodson 好像讀著MSG員工手
冊一般回答:「...一切都很正面,沒有負面的。」
That same day, word leaked that Woodson had fired his longtime agent — at
Dolan’s urging. The agent, Joe Glass, also represents Brown, who won an
$18.5 million settlement after Dolan fired him in 2006.
Keith Glass, the agent’s son, who has worked with his father in representing
Brown and Woodson, was stunned.
“I received a phone call from him, basically saying that he had to make a
change,” Keith Glass said, adding: “Mike deserves the job. I’m trying to
take the high road here. And I certainly won’t be asking anyone at the
Garden for directions.”
同一天,伍德森解雇了自己長期以來的經紀人——在杜蘭的慫恿之下。這位
經紀人喬-格拉斯還曾代理過布朗。基什-格拉斯是喬-格拉斯的兒子, 和父
親一起作為布朗和伍德森的代理人,聽聞這個消息後震驚不已。「我接到了
來自伍德森的電話,他告訴我想要做出改變了。」基什說,「邁克(伍德森
)稱得上這份工作。」
Although Woodson has yet to hire a new agent, word is already circulating
that he will choose Creative Artists Agency, the same group that represents
two team executives (Mark Warkentien and Allan Houston), as well as Anthony.
It is hard to imagine anyone telling Jackson who should represent him. It is
hard to imagine Jackson being told what to do, period. That strong will and
outsize personality are precisely what the Knicks need right now.
很難想像傑克遜會讓別人來幫他選擇經紀人,很難想像傑克遜會聽從別人的
意見。這種強烈的自我意識和外露的個性,正是尼克所需的。
Michael Jordan was once a swaggering, single-minded scorer like Anthony.
Jackson persuaded him to embrace a team-oriented game, and the Chicago Bulls
won six championships. Jackson coaxed Kobe Bryant, another headstrong star,
into trusting his teammates. They won five titles together in Los Angeles.
麥可喬丹也曾是自我意識嚴重的球星,如今的甜瓜也是如此,傑克遜說服喬
丹成為一名團隊球員,公牛拿到了六屆冠軍;科比 -布萊恩特同樣如此,傑
克遜改造了他,並幫助湖人拿到了五屆冠軍。
Anthony, who had more turnovers (14) than assists (11) in the playoffs, is
overdue for an epiphany. And no one manages egos better than Jackson.
甜瓜在季後賽中的失誤次數(14次)多於助攻(11次),看上去和初期的喬
丹以及科比類似。在調整球員的心理方面,沒有人能比“禪師”做得更好了
。
There is near-universal agreement around the N.B.A. that Anthony needs to
become a more dedicated passer, but no one around the Knicks will say so.
Woodson made his mark by demanding accountability, and he forged the Knicks
into a superior defensive team. But he never imposed the same standards on
offense, as Anthony, J. R. Smith and Baron Davis were permitted to dominate
the ball, burn the shot clock and fling contested jumpers — sometimes from
28 feet — without consequence.
伍德森能將尼克變成防守強隊,但是在進攻端,他難以做到同樣的事情:甜
瓜、JR和BD分走了球權,耗完進攻時間,並持續不停地使用跳投進攻——有
時候就在三分線附近。
Lacking job security, Woodson let Anthony indulge his worst habits. He
withheld public criticism after Stoudemire recklessly smashed a
fire-extinguisher door, slicing open his hand. He called out Smith for his
sagging pants but never for his shot selection, which was abominable.
With a contract in hand, perhaps Woodson will tighten the reins and demand
more from his stars. With the luxury of a training camp, perhaps he will find
a way to blend Stoudemire’s and Anthony’s talents. He has earned the
opportunity to try.
為了保住工作,伍德森由著甜瓜暴露最糟糕的習慣。當合約到手後,伍德森
可能“拉緊韁繩”,對球隊中的球星們要求更加嚴格。
Meanwhile, an unemployed coach with 11 championship rings, a crate of incense
and a fondness for Zen teachings is relaxing in Playa Del Rey, waiting for
the phone to ring. Or not.

真正的考驗,合約到手後才開始?! XD
話說在尼克想要拿到先發位置,好像真的不是看教練,而是看杜蘭
連教練的經紀人選擇也要看杜蘭... 尼克教練真不是普通的難當...
武僧OS:想要先發別找我,要看暑假過後老闆開給你多少價 (誤XD
另外我真的覺得武僧對尼克球員有一種愛的教育的感覺
1.當初五連勝之後的那一敗,武僧一肩扛,說尼克沒能拿下這一勝是他的問題
2.當瓜被質疑高得分始終讓尼克贏不了球時,武僧說不是瓜的問題,是
沒人能適時跳出來和瓜一起得分,所以不可以怪瓜 (印象中大致是這意思)
3.阿罵季後賽做了傻事受傷後,武僧請球迷原諒阿罵,別噓阿罵...
4.另外還有場上的JR做錯事,武僧看起來都很兇的指責,但還是不吝惜給予重任 XD
http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2012/05/13/sports/YBECK.html
只是頑皮的小孩需要愛的教育,乖小孩也是需要愛的教育的喔,希
望武僧可以平均分配 XD 紐約是個不留情又殘忍的地方,難怪球員
們待越久好像越需要愛一樣 XD (因為被罵是一件習以為常的事?)
只是這樣的包容和愛的教育也不知是好是壞,可能要等待下賽季武
僧幫大家解答了 XD 我想不OK的話,杜蘭應該也不會留情的 XD
