[外電] Wittman has a no-nonsense approach
※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言：

: Randy Wittman will bring a firmer hand to the Timberwolves. But don't expect
: any major changes tonight in Wittman's first game as head coach.
: There just isn't any time for that as Wittman takes over the team in place of
: Dwane Casey, who was fired Tuesday, one game before the midway point of the
: season.
Randy Wittman 將會要試圖改變灰狼，但別期待今晚這場他第一場掌總教練兵符的球賽
會有什麼大改變。Dwane Casey在禮拜五，也就是差一場剛好就是整個球季一半的
時候，被炒魷魚了。Wittman 根本沒有時間來得及去做任何改變。
: "This is the bad part of our business, when these type of things happen,"
: Wittman said after his first practice in charge of the Wolves, who play the
: Portland Trail Blazers tonight. "We've got to try to just move forward with
: this and make the most of our situation.
"當這樣的事情發生時，這就是我們這個行業不好的地方" Wittman 在他第一次督促灰狼
隊練習完之後說道。今晚他們將對上拓荒者隊。"我們必須嘗試更往前邁進並做到最好"。
: "We're still in a good position at 20-20 and in the playoff picture to make
: something out of this season. It's not like you're sitting at 8-32 with
: nothing to play for the rest of this season."
"我們現在的戰績是20-20，仍然大有機會進入季後賽。這和當你的戰績是8-32，對於
剩下的球季無能為力的情況是不同的"。
: Wittman said he doesn't plan to blow up the starting lineup. His biggest
: changes on his first day were to tweak some of the offensive plays. But make
: no mistake, this is still a team built on defense, as Wittman emphasized.
: The question becomes whether Wittman can make a big difference. He was, after
: all, the lead assistant on Casey's staff this season.
Wittman說他不會去改變先發名單。他最大的改變將是進攻方面，但他也強調，灰狼
依然是隻建築在防守之上的球隊。問題來了，Wittman能夠做出什麼大改變嗎? 他以前
是Casey的助理教練。
: "As I told the players today, I'm going to do everything in my power to put
: them in a position to win," Wittman said. "Now they've got to win. They've
: got to play it on the floor. I've got to dictate and put them in the position
: that gets the most out of their abilities. They've still got to go on the
: floor and win and get the job done. My job is to prepare them."
Wittman說:"就像我今天告訴球員們的一樣，我將會把我的工作做好並讓他們贏球。
他們必須努力打球，而我必須指揮調度他們，讓他們能在最適合他們能力的位置上發揮。
他們依然必須往前走並贏球。我的工作就是讓他們準備好"。
: Wittman, who played nine seasons in the NBA, is in his third stint coaching
: with the Wolves, having previously been an assistant with them from 1994-99
: and 2001-05. From 1999 to 2001, he was the head coach of the Cleveland
: Cavaliers, going 62-102, in part because of injuries to key players.
: His familiarity with the Wolves' franchise, and star player Kevin Garnett,
: should help, Garnett said. Wittman has a no-nonsense approach.
Wittman曾經打過9個賽季的NBA。這是他第三個在灰狼當教練的球季。他曾經在1994-99和
2001-05擔任助理。1999-2001年，他是騎士隊的總教練，戰績只有62-102，一些原因是
因為主將受傷。他對灰狼隊非常熟悉。Garnett說道，Wittman有著非常認真的態度。
: "I think Randy would tell you some things that would get you going," Garnett
: said. "Sometimes players need that. I think he'll be a real good fit for this
: team. Not in a negative way, but he's real straight forward."
Garnett說:"我想Randy會告訴你一些東西是會讓你進步的。有些時候球員就是需要這個。
我想他將會非常勝任這個位置。他總是往前邁進。"
: Wittman met with the team Tuesday and set a tone for his expectations.
: "I expect this team to move up the ladder," Wittman said. "I think we've got
: the pieces here. It's a matter of us bonding together as one. I think we've
: splintered at times during tough times, and that leads to inconsistency, I
: think. I've got to get these guys to stay together during the bad times."
: Wittman will be the coach for the rest of this season, perhaps longer. Vice
: president of basketball operations Kevin McHale wouldn't say what the future
: holds, specifically, for Wittman. But McHale clearly wants Wittman to be
: around beyond this season.
Wittman與灰狼隊在星期二的時候會面，並說出了他的期望:"我期待這隊伍一步步往
上爬。我們都是球隊中的一小部分，關鍵在於我們要團結一起。我想我們在遭遇困難的
時候的不團結造成了不一致。我想，我必須將他們在艱難的時候也能團結一起"。
Wittman將會在剩餘的這季掌管兵符，或許更久。Kevin McHale不對未來做出表示，
特別對於Wittman。但是McHale很明顯的希望Wittman能夠待更久。
: McHale said he talked with Wittman about the possibility of a long-term deal.
: McHale said they will talk more about that later.
McHale說他曾和Wittman談過，讓Wittman掌更久兵符的可能性。他說他們將會再談談。
: For now, McHale just wants Wittman to focus on improving the club
: immediately. That means finding consistency with a group that has been up and
: down all season.
對於現在，McHale只想要Wittman能夠立刻專注在將球隊進步上。這意味著找出
如何能夠協調隊伍，而不是像之前那樣載浮載沉。
: "Until you've done it, and until you've had a track record like a Phil
: Jackson or a Gregg Popovich, that's always the unknown of coaching," McHale
: said. "Just talking philosophy with Randy, it was interesting. He takes
: pieces of everybody he's coached for, but he has his own philosophy.
: "I think Randy's a very exacting and demanding guy, and I think he's got that
: personality where he can hopefully come in and get that kind of consistent
: effort."
McHale說道:"直到你完成他，且直到你有著像Phil Jackson或者是Gregg Popovich一樣的
成績，不然這永遠都是未知數。和Randy聊哲學非常有意思。他向每一個他當助理時的
總教練都學習了一點，但他有著他自己的哲學。我想Randy是個非常嚴厲與要求的人，
我想他會用他這種個性得到好的結果"。
