Rockets believe they have "one of the best coaches ever." It's time to figure out how to keep him. 愛我別走 Posted by Jonathan Feigen at April 9, 2011 11:26 PM http://blogs.chron.com/nba/2011/04/rockets_believe_they_have_one.html 自翻 Sometime next week, Rockets owner Leslie Alexander will start the "process" of deciding what to do with Rick Adelman and his coaching staff. 在下禮拜的某個時間點, 火箭隊的老闆會開始決定教練團的去留. This is an important decision. It is a serious question. 這很重要, 不是鬧著玩的. There is, however, a sense that he will be asking the wrong question of himself and Daryl Morey. 不過我擔心, 老闆會搞不清楚事情的重點. He does not need to ask if the Rockets should bring back Adelman; he must ask what they need to do to get him back. 他不應該問出"我該不該留下Adelman"這樣的問題, 應該要問的是, 為什麼這支球隊那麼需要他. All along it seemed that they were both waiting for the other to make the first move, but with Adelman heading to free agency, the Rockets should know by now what they have and what they would lose should he and his staff not return. 敵不動我不動, 就是目前球隊與Adelman彼此的寫照. 不過就在合約即將到期的時刻. 火箭隊應該越來越清楚他們會失去甚麼東西. I did not agree with every decision Adelman made this season. No coach ever will make every move as someone else would. And no human has been perfect. I have also yet to find anyone outside the organization that can even guess why this is in question. 我並不贊同Adelman在某些事情上的處理風格. 但, 人不是完美的, 沒有一個教練能討好所有人. That Adelman, who on Saturday tied Bill Fitch for eighth in coaching wins with 944, has continued to squeeze winning seasons out of this roster has been remarkable. It is not just that the Rockets had Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady for part of just one of Adelman's seasons, he had one or both going in and out of the lineup, wasting time to build with what he had. Giant chunks of the Rockets roster sat next to him throughout his four seasons, yet every year, the Rockets improved through the season to a team far better than the sum of its healthy parts. Adelman在星期六的比賽以944場的勝績追平了Bill Fitch的史上第八, 並且還有機會再添勝場. 以這樣子的陣容來說是相當不可思議的. 姚明與TMac的傷傷停停, 到現在的正式解體, 讓他必須花更多的時間重建與調整. 姚大個有四個球季都跟Adelman一樣穿西裝坐在椅子上, 不過每一個球季這支球隊的進步與驚喜卻沒有因為傷病問題而停滯不前. There has not been championship contention or even a playoff spot the past two seasons, though there was a 22-game winning streak, the only playoff series win in 17 years and a seven-game series with the Lakers. But neither the highs nor the lows are the point. 我們不是一隻能夠爭奪冠軍的隊伍, 甚至在這兩個球季都進不了季後賽. 雖然之前有過22連勝, 並且打進季後賽二輪, 還將湖人隊拉到第七戰. 不過這些高高低低都不是重點. Adelman was hired to win. That's what Alexander wants, how he frames his decision-making. He wants to know what will give his team its best chance to win. If he wanted something else, then he should make that clear. He has, however, been abundantly clear about what he wants and expects. Adelman是被請來帶領球隊贏球的. 這是老闆的要求, 也是老闆的目標, 他總是會把這些事情清楚表達出來. Alexander wants to win and he does not just talk about it or wish for it. 老闆就是要看到一場接一場的勝利, 他不會跟你多做討論. He will spend if he believes it will help the Rockets win. He will buy draft picks, hire a huge staff, operate a D-League team, scout everything and everywhere - all to win. 他會做一些自認能幫助球隊的事情. 例如花錢買選秀權, 雇用一些高手幕僚, 與發展聯盟合作, 一切都是為了他要贏球. He put it well last month in Miami. 他說得很明白. "The decision I'm going to make is the decision I think is the best for the future of the team to win," Alexander said. "That's the only thing I care about, nothing else." "林盃就是想要贏球, 我腦子裡沒有其他東西."Alexander說. Then what else is there to talk about? Only seven coaches in the history of basketball have won more games than Adelman. Of the top 10, only two had a better winning percentage. Of the coaches in Rockets franchise history, none had a better winning percentage than Adelman has these past four seasons. 那還有甚麼好說的? 歷史上只有七位教練的勝場比Adelman還多. 前十名裡面也只有兩位比Adelman的勝率還高. 火箭隊的隊史上也沒有任何教練的勝率贏過Adelman過去四個球季的總和. "He's one the best coaches ever and we have him here in Houston," Rockets center Chuck Hayes said, expressing the opinion widespread in the locker room. "The way we started the season and the way he's taken the pieces and worked with them and put them together, man, we're privileged to play for one of the best coaches ever." "他是史上最偉大的教練之一". Hayes說, 他表明了更衣室裡面大眾的心聲. 他工作的方式以及執教的本領, 能夠在他手下打球是一件很榮幸的事情." This was a disappointing season for many reasons, but that does not mean that an organization that prides itself for looking beyond the surface should ignore everything and let disappointment drive its decision-making. All things considered, winning 42 to 44 games this season should be considered an accomplishment. 很多因素, 這是一個令人失望的球季. 但是這並不應該掩蓋了某些了不起的成就, 而影響了任何決定. 在這個球季能贏到42,44場比賽已經是一項成就. Actually, Alexander said last season what he needs to say next week. 實際上. Alexander在上季就說過了下禮拜他該說的話 "I think he's done a terrific job," Alexander said then of his plan to extend Adelman's contract to this season. "He's taken a team that has lost two key starters and he melded the team and he's won. That's what we want here. He only cares about -- which I love -- the team and winning." "我認為他做的相當不錯." Alexander說他即將與Adelman續約. "他帶領一支失去兩個主力的球隊, 還能夠整合它並贏球. 這就是我們要的, 也是我最愛的, 球隊與贏球." In that case, he should already know who he should have as coach next season. Now he can move on to figuring out how to make it happen. 若是他之前所言不假, 他早應該知道這支球隊在下個球季會需要哪一位教練. 他應該好好想一想怎麼做. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.128.222.153
