[情報] Popovich和Buford值得受到最大的讚揚
The San Antonio Spurs’ success this season owes more to R.C Buford and
Gregg Popovich than any single player. Buford, for his gradual but now
obviously successful rebuild of the Spurs’ bench and for his amazing ability
to unearth free agent diamonds such as Gary Neal. Popovich, for the time he
spent on the internal development of players like Richard Jefferson and for
his willingness to transform San Antonio’s offensive attack into something
more effective in today’s NBA.
若提到聖安東尼奧馬刺本季的成功,Popovich和 Buford的功勞絕對比得上任何人。
Buford,在他一步步的發掘下,顯然成功地重建了馬刺的板凳,像是挖掘出如Neal這位
鑽石般閃耀的原石。而Popovich,則花了時間在了解自己隊上的球員,像是Jefferson,
如今,Jefferson的進攻手段已成為現今NBA最有效率的攻擊箭頭之一。
It’s not an easy task for an older man to change his stripes, to revitalize
an offense which boasted more than a decade of demonstrated success. Larry
Brown, for all his genius, has never shown an ability to adapt himself to the
game — for Brown success is always predicated on everything and everyone
adapting to him.
Gregg Popovich demonstrates more humility. Gregg Popovich is a forward-thinker.
要使人改變一種思維是一件不容易的事。尤其是當以往的經驗常常成功時。Larry Brown
的厲害之處在於他不會將每次的比賽勝利視為理所當然--Brown的成功是建立在很多的基礎
上,也使得很多人願意順從他。
而Popovich在這方面並不遜於Brown。Popovich就如同一位具有前瞻性的思想家。
Kudos to Popovich and Buford; they’ve done well. I’m partial, but I think
they’re deserving of Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year honors.
And, for what it’s worth, here’s another argument in favor of Popovich.
Popovich 和 Buford在這一點上做得很好。我認為他們更應得年度最佳教練的榮譽。
對於Popovich是否值得這份榮譽這點上,這裡有另一個論據來支持他。
One of the Spurs’ struggles last season was finding a consistent rotation.
It took Popovich most of the season—his error was compounded by player
injuries—to arrive at a consistent rotation. The Spurs never found a rhythm,
and it’s fair to say Popovich deserved some of the blame.
馬刺在上個賽季最大的掙扎之一便是發現一組穩定的陣容。這花了Popovich整個賽季的時
間來調整--為了得到一種最好的先發及替補的輪替方式。最終馬刺並未找到答案,最後的
失敗使得他受到一些批評。
Over the first 35 games of last season, Gregg Popovich fielded 10 different
starting lineups. 10. Every 3.5 games the Spurs’ starting unit changed.
Again, this was a combination of injury and coaching, but it was a pattern
that started early and continued, more or less, through the conclusion of the
season.
在上個賽季的前35場比賽,Popovich用了10種不同的先發陣容,平均每3.5場比賽就會改
變一次。同時也再一次的球賽的進行也伴隨著球員傷病的困擾。但不論如何,這種陣容輪
替詮釋了馬刺隊上季的模式。
This season the Spurs have featured the same starting lineup in every
contest. San Antonio has been fortunate to dodge injury, but Gregg Popovich
has had reasons to experiment. He hasn't. I suspect his choice is by design.
而本賽季,馬刺擁有穩定的輪轉陣容。馬刺避免重蹈上個賽季的覆轍。但Popovich其實
是可以來嘗試排不同的先發陣容,但是他並沒有這麼做。顯然Popovich是有意選擇這樣
的安排。
So what did Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford do last summer? They made choices
that returned stability to the Spurs. Offensive stability. Defensive
stability. Franchise stability. System stability. Call whatever you’d like.
It’s not sexy, and it doesn’t come with a television special, but it’s
still a big score.
所以究竟他們在上個暑假做了些甚麼?他們選擇讓馬刺回歸穩定穩定,在進攻、防守、
球隊、以及體系上的穩定。不論你如何看待這些事。即使這些作為並不是如此有吸引力,
在觀看電視轉播時也不顯得特別,但這仍對馬刺邁向成功踏出了一大步。
