We haven't discussed my situation yet. 不，我們還沒有過第一次面試。我們還沒有討論過我的動向。 Do you feel you deserve the job? 你覺得自己應獲得這份工作嗎？ I still think that's something that should be discussed between Larry and myself, not through the media right now. We'll sit down with Larry and see what the best direction for the Pacers is. 我始終覺得這問題應該是由我和 Larry 先私下討論，會比像現在透過媒體要好。我會和 Larry 坐下來談，看看什麼方向對溜馬而言會是最好的。 What are your feelings about this whole process? 你對你所經歷過的這整個過程有什麼感想？ An amazing opportunity, something I've thoroughly enjoyed, not just from my own experience getting to sit in that seat as a head coach. But just watching these guys come together, young players developing the confidence to succeed in the NBA and more importantly 15 guys coming together as a team was a very, very rewarding experience for me. 我很享受這個天賜的機會，不只是坐在總教練位置上，還有看著這群球員團結在一起，看著年輕人建立自信，打出一番天地，更重要的是 15 個人凝聚成一個團隊，這對我而言是個非常、非常有意義的體驗。 Can you give us your best pitch for staying? 可以告訴我們你打算說些什麼來推銷自己，爭取留任嗎？ I've got a great deal of confidence in my ability to coach. It's one thing I've learned over the last three months, that I can do this. I'm confident in my leadership abilities, my management abilities, my coaching abilities. It's been an honor to have these last three months, it would be an honor to coach the team in the future. 我對我執教的能力有了相當程度的信心。這是我從過去三個月中所學到的，我做得到。我對自己的領導能力、管理能力、執教能力很有信心。我很榮幸能有過去三個月執教的經驗，如果未來能繼續任教，那會是莫大的榮耀。 Would you like to get the decision made quickly, considering there are other job openings around the league? 聯盟裡還有不少工作機會，你有打算很快地下決定嗎？ It's really up to Larry and our front office. Whatever they decide. Any time you're making a decision as important as this you never want to rush into it. Whatever timetable they decide is fine with me. 這得由 Larry 和行政高層來定奪。無論他們做了什麼決定，在下重要決定時，你總是不希望太過於匆促。無論他們什麼時候決定，對我而言都沒問題。 What are the team's big needs? 這支球隊最迫切需要的是什麼？ If I'm able to stay, that's something that we're going to be very creative in examining all possibilities. I don't think there's one position where we say, "We really need this position." I think we've got great options at all five positions and depth at all five positions. To have the flexibility that we have with our salary cap is just something that we've got a lot of great options and we'll explore them all. 如果我能留任的話，我們會靈活檢視每一個補強機會。我不認為有哪個特殊位置是我們可以一口咬定，說「我們亟需的就是這個位置」。我認為我們在五個位置上都有很好的人選，也都有相當的深度。而有了薪資空間的彈性，我們將會有很多很棒的選擇，而我們會一一探討其可能性。 Did you have a chance to address the team after Game 5? If so, what was the message? 你在第五戰之後還有和球員們說過話嗎？如果有，說了些什麼？ I didn't address them as a team. I met with them all individually yesterday. My message to all of them was that very rarely do you stay in the same spot in this league. You either get better or you get worse. If you think there's not someone else at your position, or another team that's not working harder than we are, then you're wrong. If you're not getting better, you're getting worse, so go into this summer understanding we're all so young but there's no guarantees for improvement. Just because we took this step doesn't mean we're going to take the next step or even that we're going to stay where we're at. We've got to be hungrier this summer than we've ever been. 我沒有在全隊到齊的場合下講過話，不過昨天有和球員們個別會面。我和他們說的就是：在聯盟中，你不可能總是待在同一個位置上。要麼進步，要麼退步。如果你覺得沒有其他人水準和你相同，或是其他隊沒有你這麼認真，那你就大錯特錯了。如果你不持續進步，就等於是在退步。我們知道自己是支年輕的球隊，但這也不保證你一定會進步。之前我們向前跨了一步，這不表示我們一定跨得出下一步，甚至不保證我們能停留在原地。今年夏天，我們必須變得比之前任何時刻還要更飢渴才行。 How did the team bounce back from its lull to put together its run late in the season and the playoffs? 球隊是怎樣從沉睡中觸底反彈，達成季末和季後賽的表現？ I think when you have a young team that hasn't quite gotten over the hump yet, you deal with adversity and in this case the adversity came in the form of a brutal Texas trip, Oklahoma City, a couple of back-to-backs. We hit a very tough stretch in the schedule. We wanted to do better in that stretch. I think we lost six in a row or eight out of nine or something like that. It's just a matter of believing in yourself and understanding there's going to be bumps in the road. Every team goes through them. The Miami Heat were going through a similar stretch at the same time. The Lakers went through it earlier in the year. Every team in the NBA throughout the course of an 82-game season goes through those stretches, and we're good enough to get through it and we will get through it. At the time, we had lost a couple to some sub-.500 teams and we were approaching a stretch where we were playing I think five straight against teams with winning records. My message at the point was competition has a way of raising the level of your play and it worked out that way. 我認為：當你的球隊是支年輕球隊，沒有克服過困難的經驗，你要面對的就是逆境，這兒逆境來自於可怕的德州客場之旅、雷霆隊、還有一票 back-to-back 比賽。我們面對艱困的賽程，而想要表現得更好。我記得我們連續輸了六場，還是九戰八敗之類的。問題在於：相信自己，瞭解在過程中一定會遇到挫折。每一支球隊都得經歷這樣的過程。熱火隊那時也面臨類似的處境，湖人早些時候也經歷過。每一支球隊在 82 場的常規賽程中一定會遇到這麼一段，而我們一定能克服它。那時，我們輸給了好幾支勝率未達五成的球隊，而接下來的賽程，記得是連續五場對上勝率超過五成的球隊。我當時說的是：有競爭，才會進步。而這招確實奏效了。 How much do you believe your future is linked with that of Larry Bird? 你認為你的未來和 Larry Bird 息息相關嗎？ Obviously, if he's not the decision-maker then things could change, for better or worse, who knows? It depends who would come in. I think this organization needs Larry Bird more than it needs anyone and I'm hopeful that he stays on. 當然，如果他不是決策者，那很多事情都會跟著改變，無論是好的或壞的，誰知道呢？這取決於誰會來接手。我認為這支球隊需要 Larry Bird，超過需要任何人，而我也希望他能留任。 Did Danny Granger make the strides as a defender this season? Danny Granger 本季防守有進步嗎？ Absolutely. I think he took a lot of steps in terms of owning his individual defense, his team defense. Obviously it was not always perfect. No one's is. But he definitely had more of a focus this year and definitely improved. 當然。我認為他無論在個人防守，或團隊防守上都進步很多。當然不可能作到完美，沒有人辦得到。但他今年確實更加專注，也更加進步。 When do you expect to discuss your future with Larry Bird? 你打算何時與 Larry Bird 討論你的未來動向？ I really don't know. It's completely up to them and whatever timetable they decided I'm completely comfortable with. You don't want to rush into anything. You've got to let the dust settle, you've got to take a step back and evaluate everything with a clear mind. 我真的不知道。這得由他們來決定，而無論他們定什麼時間，我都會配合。你不會想要匆匆忙忙，總是得等到事情塵埃落定，再回頭用清楚的眼光來評斷。 Is it hard being patient under these circumstances? 這樣的情況會不會很難熬？ One of my personal best attributes that I've been blessed with is patience. I'm a patient guy. 我最大的長處之一，就是很有耐性。我很能等。 How was this experience different than what you expected? 這段執教經歷，和你原先預期的有什麼地方不一樣？ I expected to succeed. I expected the changes I was going to implement would work. I feel like they did. I thought it fell in line with what my expectations were when I took over. I believed in the young guys we have on the team, that if we went with them, the way we utilized them and changed our style of play, I believed it would work and I think it did work. I was hopeful it would've worked better, to be honest with you. I think we could've made a serious run this year and I think this group has a high ceiling for what they can achieve in the future. 我覺得我會成功。我預期我做的改變會有用，而它們確實奏效了。我覺得事情和接手時所做的預測差不多。我相信我們的年輕人，只要善加運用他們，改變打法，我相信一定會成功，而事實也確實如此。老實說，我本來還預期能做得更好。我認為我們本來應該能在季後賽走得更遠。我也相信這支球隊未來的成就一定會更高。 Would you like to stay? 你想留下來嗎？ I would love to stay. Not only would I love to be a head coach again but this organization in particular I've fallen in love with even before I became a head coach. I love the community that I live in in Carmel, the village of West Clay, our neighborhood. We've really been embraced here. This is where I want to raise my family. I would really love the opportunity to stay here. 我很想留下來。不只是想繼續擔任總教練的緣故而已，更是因為我早在成為總教練之前，就已經愛上這支球隊。我喜歡我在 Carmel 住處的社區，West Clay 的村莊，我的鄰居。我們被這一切歡迎、擁抱著。這兒是我想成家的地方。我真的很希望能待在這裡。 If you walked away tomorrow, what would be your stamp on this team? 如果你明天就走人了，你會為這支球隊作怎樣的註記？ Just getting some of the young guys to believe in themselves and understand they can do it at this level. And the fact that we came together as a team and that doesn't always happen in the NBA, or college, or whatever basketball you're talking about. It doesn't always happen where guys pull for each other, genuinely care for each other, fight for each other, work for each other and really just come together as a team in the true sense of the word. That's probably what I'm most proud of with this group. 讓一群年輕人找回自信，瞭解他們所能作的。而凝聚為一個團隊，這件事在 NBA，或是大學籃球，或是任何籃球界，也不是隨便一支球隊都做得到的。不是每支球隊都做得到互相提攜，真誠地互相關懷，為彼此奮戰，為彼此努力，真真正正地成為一個「團隊」。這或許是我對這支球隊最引以為傲的地方。 Upon reflection is there anything you would've done differently? 回頭反省，有什麼事是你覺得能做得更好的？ There's a lot I would do differently. Every time you lose a game you feel like you should do something differently. If we don't score down the stretch I feel like I should've called a different play. If we do get scored on I feel like I should've guarded a different way. I look at myself more than any of our players, more than any of our front office, more than anything. I'm probably my hardest critic. 有很多事我覺得能做得更好。當你輸球的時候，你總是會想：要是哪邊做得不一樣就好了。當我們得不了分，我會覺得當初應該叫個不一樣的戰術。當我們得了分，我會覺得當初應該用不同的方式來防守。我比任何球員、任何行政高層，對我自己都還要更嚴格。我應該是對我自己最嚴苛的批評者。 What does Roy Hibbert need to do in order to become a consistent force? Roy Hibbert 需要作些什麼，以提供穩定的貢獻？ He just has to stay hungry. With all our players we talked about specific things that need to be worked on but I'm not going to get into specific things. He just needs to stay hungry and get hungrier. He had a great offseason last year and it led to some improvement but every player in the league is going to get better or is going to get worse. If he doesn't have the same mindset that he has got to be every bit as hungry he can take a step back. I have confidence that he'll remain as hungry as he is. He's a very driven kid and he wants to be great and he's going to be an All-Star some day. 他只需要讓維持飢渴而已。針對其他球員我們可以討論有什麼特別項目需要加強，但對他就不需要什麼特別指示。他只需要維持飢渴、更加飢渴就好了。去年休賽期間他做得很好，也帶來一些進步，但聯盟裡每個球員都是在進步，否則就是退步。如果他沒有辦法維持他曾有的心態：盡己所能的飢渴，那他等於是在退步。我有信心他能做得到。他是個很有決心的孩子，想要變得更好，他總有一天會成為全明星。 While you and Larry wait to see what happens next, so do the fans. What do you tell them? 你和 Larry 都想要靜觀事情變化，球迷們也是。你有什麼要和他們說嗎？ First I tell them thank you because I hear the support and I'm so grateful that they've gotten behind this team the way they have and the way they've supported me personally. My message to the fans is it's the right thing to do to take a step back, evaluate with a clear mind and trust in Larry Bird. He's not Larry Legend because of his physical abilities to play basketball. He's got a great basketball mind and he's the one that should be making the decisions and whatever he decides is going to be what's best for the Indiana Pacers. 首先，我要感謝球迷，因為我聽見了你們的聲援，我很感激他們在幕後對球隊，以及對我個人的支持。我要告訴球迷朋友的是，退一步，用清楚的眼光評斷，相信 Larry Bird 。他能成為籃球活傳奇，靠的可不是體能天賦。他有顆偉大的籃球頭腦，應當成為決策的掌舵者，無論他決定作什麼，那對溜馬而言一定是最佳的選擇。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.218.170
