Tex Winter的訪問
BDG: What are the plans now and in the future for Andrew Bynum in terms of
the triangle, because obviously he's not going to be seeing a lot of playing
time this year.
Tex Winter: Well we don’t know about that. I personally feel like we’ve got
to get him into the “baptism of fire” pretty soon, because he’s a guy that
I think they’re [planning] on becoming their center. It’s going to take
some time– no question about that. It will be a natural maturing process for
him, but [I hope] he can get enough playing time so we can get a chance to
see what he can do and go from there.
BDG: Phil has a well-known aversion to playing rookies, the younger players
especially, do you think we’re going to see a bit more flexibility on his
part in playing Andrew Bynum this year, especially considering how high he
was picked?
Winter: Yeah, it’s a different situation for Phil. He’s had veteran teams
and superstars his whole career of coaching, and now it’s an entirely
different situation. So I don’t think he’ll be reluctant to play younger
players and give them as much playing time as he can because it’s a
developing process and I think that he’ll do all he can to give Bynum as
much time as he can. [This goes for] even some of the other younger players,
because it’s a new deal.
BDG: Von Wafer, a 6'5" guard out of Florida State– what is his role going to
be in the triangle?
Winter: I think he would probably be a two-guard. They say he’s a very good
shooter. I didn’t see any of his college games, so I don’t really have a
read on him. But he’s supposed to be a very good shooter and he does have
size as you say so I would image they’ll probably try to utilize him at
shooting guard.
BDG: Are there going to be any noticeable differences in the triangle this
year considering there’s no big guy down low and the roster has changed?
Winter: Of course our stress with Shaq was to get the ball into him,
generally as deep as we could, and so there was ball movement and basically
everyone was looking to penetrate the ball into Shaq. I think maybe the
complexion of the triangle will change. We’ll still have the center as the
apex, but I think he won’t be as quite as deep in the lane and he’ll be out
of the lane more and probably become a little bit more of a feeder. So we
should see a little bit more ball movement, player movement with a purpose,
and the center doing a little bit more feeding of the ball as opposed to
trying to score every time he touches it.
BDG: What are Phil’s hopes for Lamar Odom, is he going to be using him as a
Scottie Pippen-type player, and do you hope that [Kobe Bryant and Lamar]
would form a tandem similar to that of Jordan and Pippen?
Winter: Well as you know, Lamar is a very talented all-around player. I wouldn
’t be surprised if what Phil does is to try to utilize him some bringing the
ball up, [as] a big point guard. Then [we would] post him up so that he has
mismatches. But, he’s versatile, so he can certainly be a 3 (small forward),
probably his best position right now, and he may even have to play some 4
(power forward). I hope not. I hope he can be a three and someone else can
step up and fill that 4 role because that’s a very important need right now
for the Lakers.
