Adelman Contract Re-Signing Press Conference June 27, 2003 http://www.nba.com/kings/news/Adelman_Contract_ReSigning_PressConf-79125-58.html 1.How long had you been in negotiations? Adelman: "Geoff (Petrie) and I talked about it and he had talked to Joe and Gavin, so we had been discussing it for probably about 10 days or so. Just talking about the team, and where we are, and we arrived at an agreement.” 記：整個協商的過程有多長? 老k：Petrie和我談論此事，他之前也和Joe和Gavin談過，我們大約談了十天。談論球隊、我們的定位，然後達成協定。 2.Were you anticipating some negotiating this summer? Adelman: “Obviously I really like our team and I love living here and coaching here. It’s the best of both worlds for me. Looking at all the things that were going on this summer, there were obviously a lot of opportunities, if you wanted to pursue things. But to me, at this stage of where I’m at, this is where I want to be. It never seems to really work out if you want to be somewhere and you only have a year left on your contract. That’s proven this summer. So yeah, I wanted something that would solidify my position here and I think we’ve had a really good run and we have a run ahead of us. I’m real happy that this was done. The Maloofs have been great to me; this is the third time they’ve done this.” 記:你過去曾期待在今夏的協定嗎? 老k:我真的很喜歡我們的球隊，而且喜歡住在這並在此執教，對我來說這是最棒的兩個世界。回顧在這個夏季的種種，如果你想要去追求些什麼，顯然地有許多機會在那兒。對我而言，處在這個階段，這是我非常想留下的地方。但是當合約只剩一年，對要達到好的境界似乎不足。但此問題已經解決的，所以，是的，我想要一些東西來確保我的位置。我想我們已經達到不錯的境界，而在未來還有一段路等我們去闖。我很高興這件事完成了。 Maloof兄弟對我很好，這是第三次簽合約了。 3.How did everything go down? Adelman: “I wasn’t looking for anything. I was approached by a couple of people about what my situation was and I said the same thing. It was easy to find out that I only had a year left, but I liked where I was at and I wasn’ t looking to do anything. The whole summer was amazing watching the process in the NBA. I think you kind of take for granted the process until you go to the draft camp and there are 40 jobs changing. I have four grown children in Portland which is very close to here—I can’t ask for a better place.” 記：一切是怎麼演變的? 老k：我沒有期待什麼。許多人來跟我接觸，來了解我的情況，我都是一樣的回答。大家都知道我只剩一年合約，但我喜歡我這個位置，並且不企盼做什麼。整個夏天，看NBA中進行的一切是令人驚奇的。沒有到選秀營，並且看到有40個工作在更換(?)，你會覺得一切都是理所當然。我四個成年的小孩住在波特蘭，很靠近那兒，那是個很棒的地方。 4.How did all the coaching changes in the league affect your mindset? Adelman: “The situation with Rick Carlisle really shocked me, and having Larry Brown get that job within hours. I guess you’d be naive to say that nothing was going on. It just seems that sometimes winning is taken for granted, and I think it’s important to have people around you. I’ve been really fortunate I’ve had two great teams that have had chances to win and win big, and I’ve been fortunate to been in places long enough to have your kids get through high school—a couple of times. I’m very appreciative of that because I think there is more to it than just a job. I feel very gratified that I get to stay here.” 記:聯盟中那些教練的更換如何影響你的心態? 老k:Rick Carlisle的情況令我震驚，而且馬上就換上了Larry Brown。我猜你會天真的說什麼事都沒有發生。有時候得勝好像被認為理所當然，這時我想有人在身邊陪伴是很重要的。我很幸運的執教過兩個球隊，他們都有機會贏，而且贏的光彩。而且我很幸運可以待在隊伍很長的時間，有時候長到都可以讓你小孩讀完高中(應該是這樣吧?)。對此我很感섊謝。我想這比單單工作的意義要大。我很高興我可以留下。 5.How much of your success do you credit with those around you? Adelman:“I don’t think there is a better group in basketball operations than we have, starting with Geoff (Petrie) and Wayne (Cooper), and then right on through Scotty (Stirling) and Jerry (Reynolds). We have a situation here where someone isn’t trying to get out in the fore-front and have an ego—we all work together and it’s a real comfortable situation. We work as one group, and it makes a huge difference, because I’ve seen a lot of situations where you have infighting. It’s a tremendous aspect of the job.” 記：多於你的成功，有多少你要讚揚在身邊的人的？老k：我不認為在球隊的運作上還有比我們更好的團體，開始是Geoff (Petrie)、 Wayne (Cooper)，再來是Scotty (Stirling)和Jerry (Reynolds)。我們沒有人強出頭，並保有自尊。我們一起努力，這是個令人舒適的情形。我們就像一個群體，而這有很大的影響，因為我曾經看過很多混戰的情況。對於工作來說這是個非常好的方面。 6.Describe your thought on the Maloofs? Adelman: “Joe and Gavin have been terrific; the Maloof family has been terrific to me. I think it’s really important that since they’ve been here we’ve been very stable in what we’re doing. This is just one more example of what they’ve done. They didn’t have to do it, they could have waited. There were a lot of things that went on after the season that had very little factual evidence to it, but I’ve always had their support, and that’s the most important thing.” 記：描述一下你對Maloof兄弟的看法？老k：Joe和Gavin非常棒，整個maloof家族對我來說也很好。這是很重要的，因為有他們，所以我們可以穩定的作我們的事。這只是他們做的一個例子。他們不必做這些，他們可以等待。在季後發生了一些缺乏證實的事，但他們一直支持我，這是最重要的事。 7.Is this a relief? Adelman:“I think any time you can get some more years on your contract in this business, it helps. Things can change so quickly. As you get older you appreciate it when you’re able to stay in once place for a long time.” 記：這個合約減輕了你的壓力嗎? 老k：我想不論何時，當你延長了合約，都是一種紓解。事情可以變化的很快。當你變老而又能待在同個地方一段長時間，你會感謝他。 8.Have the players talked to you? Adelman: “Last night when Jim Gray announced that I didn’t know anything about this, which is like someone saying you’re going to get married when you are already married—the extension was already signed and done. When that happened, the first guy coming through the door was Webber, telling me, ‘Hey, did you know you got an extension,’ and I told him, ‘Yeah, I realized that.’ So it was kinda funny because he thought he was pulling one on me. I told him that mine was not as much as his though.” 記：球員跟你談過嗎? 老k：昨晚當Jim Gray宣佈我並不知道這件事，這就像當你已經結婚，有人跟你說「你要結婚啦」一樣，合約早就延長而且簽好了。那一刻，第一個從門外走向我的是Webber，他說：「Hey，你知道你延長合約了嗎？」我跟他說：「是的，我知道。」這有點有趣，因為他覺得他是最先告訴我的(不知道pull one on me是啥意思)。我告訴他薪資並沒有像他那麼多。(哈~老K還真有趣^^) -- 現在流行存錢養小雞 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 61.228.6.103
