※ 引述《RonArtest93 (新阿泰)》之銘言： : http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/2239106.html : Nine years later, little but the location had changed for Nate McMillan. : He was still coaching defense first and structure always, his style no : different with this Portland team than it was when he took over in Seattle in : 2000 and had talent in abundance in both cities. 對Nate McMillan來說，九年來的變化不多。從西雅圖到波特蘭，他仍然堅持團隊防守要放在第一位，他手下仍然有一群才華洋溢的球員。 : First-year Kings coach Paul Westphal, on the other hand, was the one whose : challenge had changed as much as his message. : And when McMillan was asked what he expected to see from his old coaching : co-worker in this new setting, he was as unsure as anyone else. 不過對他的老同事Paul Westphal來講，挑戰可大的多了。當被要求預測Paul未來的執教表現時，Nate跟其他人一樣不確定。 : "It'll be interesting to see what he can do with this group," McMillan said : before the back-to-back exhibition season reunion games ended with a second : consecutive Kings loss, this time 89-86 Wednesday at Arco Arena. "He hasn't : been a head coach for a couple years, so his style " 「看他怎麼打手上的牌將會十分有趣」，在拓荒者對國王贏了第二場熱身賽之後這位教頭如是說。「他有一陣子沒有當總教練了，所以他的風格...」 : Then a pause. 他想了一下 : "I don't know; we'll see," he said. "Coach Westphal has been successful with : whatever he's done. So coming back into the league, and with a different : group, I think this may be one of the youngest groups that he's had. We'll : see what he does." 「我真的不知道」「他過去已經完成了不少事情，但是這是他所擁有過最年輕的團隊，拭目以待吧」 : It was more about what he didn't do last time they shared a floor, when : McMillan was the lead assistant who reluctantly took over for Westphal when : he was fired 15 games into the 2000-01 campaign. Paul必須要加強的是他過去沒做到的事--團隊防守 : Defensewas the chief concern, with none other than current Kings swingman and : former Sonic Desmond Mason among the many who decried the defensive approach : and lack of team toughness at the time. : "We have no team defense," Mason said then. "We have some of the best : one-on-one defenders in the league, but our concept of team defense is weak : right now." 曾在西雅圖時幫他效力的Mason當時曾說，「我們的團對防守爛透了。我們有一堆懂得一對一防守的高手，但是我們的團隊防守爛透了」。 : It seems the past goes a long way toward understanding the present, though, : as Westphal has begun his Kings tenure by emphasizing the very areas he was : accused of neglecting before. 難怪，Paul從擔任國王的總教練以來就一直試圖加強這點。 : "(Westphal) kind of let (then-Sonics point guard) Gary (Payton) spearhead our : defense, and everybody kind of leaned on Gary," Mason said. : "I think now he's really teaching a lot of team defensive concepts, : rotations, helping, doubling, reaching, not leaving guys hanging out to dry. : I think that's the biggest difference." 「他過去有點像是讓Gary Payton帶頭主導防守」「但是他現在非常強調團隊防守的觀念，強調換防、補位、包夾這些觀念」「這跟以前很不一樣」 Mason比較兩種截然不同的風格 : And one night after the team that was widely believed to have had the worst : defense last season outrebounded the bigger Blazers 44-34 and forced 16 : turnovers, there were again signs that his new approach could pay off. 於是，這隻去年被認為防守最爛的隊伍，竟然抓了比對手多十個籃板，還製造了對方 16次失誤。Paul的改變似乎奏效了。 : Down 89-82 and using a zone late in the fourth quarter, Kings forward Sean : May stripped Blazers center Greg Oden down low, Omri Casspi hit the floor for : the loose ball and passed ahead for a Beno Udrih jumper that started the run. : The frenetic play that delighted the announced Arco Arena crowd of 10,454 : didn't stop there. （本段在描述熱身賽大夥有多拼命，略過，總之防守帶動了進攻跟球迷的情緒） : Portland's Andre Miller missed a contested jumper in the paint, with Jon : Brockman gathering the ball and Casspi eventually finding himself alone for a : dunk that cut the lead to three with 1:06 left. Sergio RodrgiASAj1kOW : Udrih did the same to Miller. Rodrguez's three-point attempt at the buzzer would have tied the game, but was : off-target from atop the key. : It was a defensive touch on what was quite an offensive night for Kings : shooting guard Kevin Martin, who hit just 2 of 10 from the field Tuesday but : scored 28 points on 10-of-17 shooting a day later. 本段敘述小馬丁今晚進攻火力全開 : Still, Westphal saw the finish as a decent start. : "We have a long way to go (defensively)," Westphal said afterward. "We've put : in broad concepts defensively, but we haven't worked specifically on a lot of : the things that we need to work on "The thing I like is the intensity the guys are bringing to trying to react : to what they need to react to. : "That's all you can really expect with a new team and a new staff this time : of year." 對Paul來說，這只是個開始。「我們的防守還有很長的一段路要走。我們已經建立起一些防守的觀念了，但是還有許多事情要努力。」「我要看到的是球員們能集中注意力臨場發揮出他們演練的成果」「這才是球迷們應該期待看的國王隊」快速翻了一下.... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.75.182 ※ 編輯: sellig 來自: 61.228.75.182 (10/08 23:33)
