http://0rz.tw/THjjh We're asking 30 questions about the Kings' 2010-11 season. 歡迎收看本季三十問？今天的問題是Westphal還能撐多久？ Eric Musselman, the first coach hired by the Kings after Rick Adelman left the franchise, lasted 82 games. Eric Musselman，在Rick Adelman閃人後首位接任的教頭，他的保存期限是一年。（那個Rahim，下球你單打，Williamson後一球，單打再單打。） Reggie Theus lasted 106 games in the hot seat, or roughly 1-1/3 seasons. 娃娃臉帥哥Reggie Theus撐的比較久，差不多一又三分之一個球季。（http://gigginonya.com/theus.jpg

） Kenny Natt made it just 58 games. 代班教練Kenny Natt只上了五十八場的班。（今日明星臉：Kenny Natt 對 Mike Brown，請問哪位是明星？） http://0.tqn.com/d/cleveland/1/7/j/H/-/-/brown.jpg

Paul Westphal has 82 games -- a full season -- under his belt. Can he do what his three predecessors could not survive this season? What will it take to do so? Westphal已經頂了一年，他會像前三位一樣迅速掰掰嗎？什麼的狀況會讓他走人？ The Kings picked up the third year -- an option year -- of Westphal's contract back last April, keeping the coach under contract through the 2011-12 season. It was, honestly, a coup of sorts to get a legitimate candidate to sign a deal with only two years and $2-3 million guaranteed, even if said coach hadn't worked a lead job in eight years and had no realistic (or at least publicized) prospects to get a top job outside of Sacramento. But the Kings followed through by guaranteeing the third year quite quickly, preventing lame-duck status and making Westphal's total contract slightly more reasonable from the coach's perspective. 國王在今年四月（季末）執行了第三年的選擇權，讓Westphal的合約延長到後年，這代表著球團的肯定。儘管他已經不當總教練八年了，其他球隊似乎也沒考慮過他，國王還是迅速和Westphal續約。這可以讓教練定下心來，好好調教這批小伙子們。 That alone says that the Kings like what Westphal had done through April. They thought he did a good job in a 25-57 season, which is fair enough. That roster was all mixed up, young and at most positions bad. It's worth noting that despite winning 38 games with a misshapen roster of his own, Theus didn't get that third-year guarantee after his first 82 games. Theus' team performed better than that of Westphal, yet Theus got no guarantee while Westphal did get a guarantee. That right there tells you everything you need to know about what Geoff Petrie and the Maloofs thought of the job Theus did versus the job Westphal did. 國王覺得Westphal還不錯，在這個25勝57敗的球季，他已經OK了。要知道他手上的名單可是破破爛爛，球員傷來傷去，不少時間要靠小鬼頭撐場面。儘管贏了三十八場比賽， Theus 可沒得到老闆的認同，在第一季打完後，老闆沒有拿出第三年的合約。這告訴了我們Maloof們是怎麼想的。 It is established, then, that the front office likes Westphal and the work he has done. As such, I find it incredibly hard to imagine the team firing him mid-season. It would take a real letdown for that to happen -- a Nets-like start, or a completely disintegration of the budding team chemistry, or a fatwa from Team Tyreke, or something completely implausible. 這證明了坐在辦公室裡的那批傢伙還頗為滿意，所以我想季中火人應該不會發生，除非有什麼狗屁倒灶的事情出現（比方說我們開季就展現出強大的爐主競爭力、或者球隊化學效應不佳...barabara等）。 It's just not going to happen, and I, for one, am thankful for that. Continuity is something these inexperienced players could use, and the coach of this team needs some backbone behind his decisions. Job security combined with the master key for the rotation is just that backbone. 希望本季大家都上體育版頭條，不要上到社會版，謝謝。教頭接下來的課題可能是使用年輕球員的時機，要當這球隊的教頭要有膽量。要想保住這份工作，在輪替的選擇上就要很有膽量！ Now whether Westphal goes on to have an Adelmanesque Kings career, or if he at some point makes way for Mario Elie or another young head coach -- that remains to be seen. But for now, he's our team's coach, and that's the way it will almost assuredly remain for the next 82 games. 不管Westphal會有一個Adelman 式的國王生涯，還是幫後面的年輕教練（Ex：Mario Elie）鋪路。到目前為止，他還坐在總教練位置上，而他應該還留在那兒直到季末。 -- Westphal留下來的主因：http://0rz.tw/Uqx6I -- ._./：請問為什麼要貼這麼多圖呢？ ^_^ ：P幣窘迫，總要想方設法A一下。 -- 謝謝亂翻！謝謝指正！謝謝kingpredrag讓我有代班的機會，還付我代班費P幣一元！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 221.169.231.100
