Lunch with Lakers coach Mike Brown 和湖人教練Mike Brown共進午餐原文網址：http://0rz.tw/faW3c September 16, 2011|By KEVIN DING EL SEGUNDO – Here's a sampling of things that could happen if you met new Lakers coach Mike Brown at the grocery store in Anaheim Hills, sat next to him at a Mater Dei High School game or had lunch with him Thursday, as I did … 如果你在Anaheim Hills的商店裡碰到湖人新教練Mike Brown，在Mater Dei High School的比賽中和他坐在一起，或者像我一樣與他共進午餐的話，就可能會發生這樣的事情： 1. He apologizes to someone coming up to shake his hand because he has a little au jus sauce or ketchup on his – and offers the person a fist-bump and a smile instead. 1、他會對想和他握手的人表示歉意，因為他手上沾了點調味醬汁或番茄醬 - 他會對來者面帶微笑，以互碰拳頭表示問候。 2. He actually listens to something you tell him, because he truly believes he can learn from you as much as you can learn from him. 2、他會很認真的聽你說話，因為他相信他可以從你身上學到很多東西，就如同你從他身上也能學到很多東西一樣。 3. He oozes pride in sons Elijah and Cameron not for their current skill, but for their current work ethic. 3、當談到他的兒子Elijah和Cameron的時候他會流露出自豪的神色，不是因為他的兒子們目前擁有的籃球技能，而是因為他們對這項運動的激情。 4. He calls himself "lucky, fortunate, blessed, whatever you want to call it" for his place in this world. 4、對於他現今在這個世界裡所身處的位置，他表示自己是： "僥倖的，好運的，受祝福的，無論你想怎麼形容。" 5. He argues that you – yes, you – could play defense at a high level in the NBA. 5、他會認為你 - 是的，就是你 - 也能在NBA表現出高水準的防守。 6. He expresses gratitude toward someone in the business – perhaps named Popovich or Carlisle, but more likely someone with a lesser standing than Brown's own today. 6、他會向致力於籃球事業的人們表示感激 - 名字可能叫做Popovich或Carlisle，不過更多的是針對那些還遠遠沒有達到Brown今日成就的人。 7. He laughs so long and with such open spirit that you actually count the perfect teeth you can see … 16, 17, 18 …. 7、他笑的時間很長，以至於你都能數清楚他完美的牙齒了...16,17,18... 8. He has a DVD of some NBA game in one of his pockets to study later. 8、他總是會在他的口袋裡放著一些稍後想進行研究，NBA比賽的DVD。 9. He makes you come away thinking how much better you could do your job if you brought a little more passion to it. 9、他會讓你在離開的時候產生這樣的想法：如果你對你的工作帶有多一點激情的話，那你能將你的工作做得多棒。 10. He invites you to live with him and his family. 10、他會邀請你跟他和他的家人一起生活。 Well, he probably won't invite you to live with him and his family, but you can't rule it out considering what the Browns are doing this year for Canada native Nirra Fields. She is No. 11 in ESPN's national list of senior basketball prospects, and she'll get to do her thing at powerhouse Mater Dei after the Browns took guardianship of her and brought her here. 好吧，他可能不會邀請你跟他和他的家人一起生活就是了，但是你不能排除Brown在今年為加拿大女孩Nirra Fields所做的一切。 Nirra在ESPN的國際大學球員排名預測中名列第十一位，並且在Brown取得她的監護權並將她帶到Mater Dei高中之後，她會得到更好的鍛煉機會。 She'll get life lessons from a female role model in Brown's wife, Carolyn – which is precisely what Nirra's single-male guardian wanted for her in originally introducing Nirra to Carolyn. 她還將跟隨女性的榜樣，Brown的妻子Carolyn學習生活上的經驗 - 這也恰好是Nirra的男單親監護人將她介紹給Carolyn的初衷。 Yet when told what a good situation it makes for Nirra, Mike Brown counters with: "It's good for us, too. Terrific. I guess it all depends on the type of people involved. She's a great person. So it made it easy." 當談到會替Nirra創造怎樣優良的環境之時，Mike Brown指出： "這對我們也有益處，太美好了。我猜這會讓我們都受益匪淺。她是一個很好的人，因此整件事情變得容易了。" What Brown is doing at home with Nirra Fields might appear to have little to do with what he can do at work with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Brown將會在家庭生活中如何和Nirra Fields相處，可能會給我們他將會如何和Kobe Bryant、Pau Gasol和Andrew Bynum相處帶來一些啟示。 In fact, the underlying sentiment is not dissimilar. 事實上，基本的感情培養層面是不會有什麼不同的。 Brown wants to build a cooperative community in Lakerland where no one is keeping track of who gives what to whom, yet everyone is accountable. At the heart of that is consistent effort, and although Brown is too nice to cast the aspersions, it's abundantly clear that he intends to bring a passion back to the Lakers' play that was sorely lacking in a disappointing last season under Phil Jackson. Brown想要在湖人隊中建立起一個相互協助的氛圍，在這樣的氛圍中，沒有人需要一味的付出，但是每個人都要承擔責任，而這需要全隊上下一致的努力。儘管Brown是一個容易受到詆毀的好人，但是很明顯，他想要替湖人的比賽帶回激情，這也是在Phil Jackson領導下的湖人隊，在令人失望的上個賽季非常缺乏的。 "I don't feel like I'm the smartest guy out there," Brown said. "I feel like I'm a pretty good people-person. I feel like I have common sense, at least. And I do believe that I work hard. To me, that's where my advantage is going to be, if there is one." "我不覺得我是最聰明的人，" Brown說道， "我覺得我是一個不錯的人，至少我通情達理，我認為我對工作還滿努力的，對我來說，如果能發揮我的專長，我就會努力去做。" No one in Cleveland ever questioned Brown's work ethic in his five seasons there. His accompanying drive and passion came across clearly in wowing Jerry and Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak in Brown's Lakers job interview, and Brown revealed Thursday that some of the best advice in telling Lakers executives what they wanted to hear came from his former general manager in Cleveland, Danny Ferry, and the Cavaliers' current GM Chris Grant. 在克利夫蘭那五個賽季中，從來沒有人質疑過Brown的工作熱情。在Brown面試湖人教練之時，他的幹勁和激情，給Jerry、Jim Buss以及Mitch Kupchak留下了很深的印象。而Brown在經歷過克利夫蘭的前任總管Danny Ferry和現任總管Chris Grant的面試後，也深知什麼才是湖人管理階層想要聽到的，最好的建議。 But the way it goes with Brown, it's never just one or two voices in his head. 一切似乎盡在Brown掌握中，雖然湖人的問題從來都不是一兩個建議就能夠解決的。 Unpacking in his new Anaheim Hills house recently, Brown found a card with the Spurs' logo on it from when Brown was an assistant coach under Gregg Popovich nearly 10 years ago. On the card were notes Brown had taken while peppering Marc Iavaroni, at the time more of a rising young star in the assistant-coach world than Brown was. 最近在Anaheim Hills的新房子整理東西時，Brown發現了一張有著馬刺隊輝記的卡片，這讓他想起了差不多十年前的往事，那時候他還是Gregg Popovich手下的一個助理教練。卡片上的筆記是Brown請教Marc Iavaroni時所記下的，在那個當下，Marc是助理教練這個位置上一個逐漸展露鋒芒的人才。 Brown wanted to know what Iavaroni knew, specifically about how to prepare for a head-coach job interview and what that interview was like, so he asked and asked and asked. Brown想要知道Iavaroni所得知的東西，特別是關於如何為應徵總教練的面試做準備，面試是怎麼樣的一個情況，因此他不斷的詢問。 The guy is simply not afraid of what he doesn't know. 這傢伙不會因為未知而感到害怕。 "This might get me in trouble going on record saying this, but I don't think there's a dumb question out there," Brown said. "繼續詢問這些問題的答案可能會讓我陷入兩難的窘境，但是我不認為我問的是愚蠢的問題。" Brown這麼說。 As it turns out, Brown became Cleveland's head coach in 2005 – ahead of Iavaroni, who lasted just a season and a half as Memphis' head coach in 2007-08. Iavaroni laughingly pointed out Brown beating him to the big chair when Brown saw Iavaroni, now a Clippers assistant, earlier this week at an NBA coaches' clinic. 事實證明了Brown的睿智。他在2005年成為了騎士隊的總教練 - 甚至比Iavaroni還要早，後者僅僅在2007-08年間在曼菲斯灰熊隊擔任了一季半的總教練。在本周一個NBA教練的研討會上，Brown見到了現在是快艇隊助理教練的Iavaroni， Iavaroni還笑著說Brown把他的所學給掏個精光，全學走了。 The clinic Tuesday in Los Angeles also marked the first time Brown and Brian Shaw, Jackson's Lakers assistant who lost out to Brown for this job, ever formally met. Awkward? Not too much, Brown said, no matter that Bryant endorsed Shaw and then wasn't even consulted before it became Brown's job. 周二在洛杉磯舉行的這次研討會，也是Brown和Brian Shaw在湖人新教練塵埃落定後的第一次正式會面。做為Jackson時期的湖人助理教練，Shaw在湖人總教練一職的競爭中輸給了Brown。尷尬？沒那麼嚴重。Brown說，不管怎麼說Shaw得到Kobe的認可，並且在Brown正式被聘任為湖人總教練之前，Shaw都是最熱門的人選。 For all who've wondered if Brown catered too much to LeBron James in Cleveland, some within the Lakers' organization wondered if Shaw would've catered too much to Bryant here in a system Bryant actually understood even better than Shaw did. 其實所有人都會有這樣的疑問，如果說Brown在克利夫蘭屈就了LeBron James太多，那麼在Shaw成為湖人總教練之後，他會不會也會屈就Kobe很多，畢竟，湖人的三角戰術進攻，Kobe甚至比Shaw理解的更為透徹。 And whether you want to read a lot or a little into it, note this: When talking about the contrasting offensive styles Brown will show from Cleveland to here, the new Lakers' coach summarized the coming Lakers offense as feeding Gasol and Bynum inside, not being the Kobe show. 如果你還想從中挖出一點什麼的話，請注意這點：當談到是否會將在騎士時候的進攻體系帶到湖人時，新的湖人教練總結過，湖人的進攻將從內線的Gasol和Bynum打起，不會只是Kobe一個人的表演。 "This team is completely different from what I had in Cleveland," Brown said. "In Cleveland, I had a guy who liked to come off the top of the floor, liked to play in space and play pick-and-roll and make plays for others. Here, I've got two guys similar to what we had in San Antonio; you're able to throw them the ball on the block." "這支球隊完全不同於我在克利夫蘭帶的騎士隊，" Brown說。 "在克利夫蘭，我有一個樂於衝擊籃框，喜歡拉開空間單打，打擋拆戰術，習慣以己身替隊友製造機會的傢伙。而在這裡，我有兩個和過去聖安東尼奧馬刺陣中類似的傢伙，你可以隔著人就把球丟給他們。" It's impossible to imagine Bryant not getting his, however, and if the baseline for Brown's Lakers basketball is going to be the passion and work ethic, though, Brown and Bryant will get along just fine. Kobe將會無用武之地？這是難以想像的。但是，如果Brown執教下的湖人能充滿激情和比賽熱情的話， Brown和Kobe倒是能夠相處的很好。 Keeping up with him in drive time, after all, is what Bryant has always wanted from and for his teammates. 這隨著時間的推移狀況也不盡雷同，畢竟， Kobe也是一直在尋求他隊友的支持，而他也一直想要給予他的隊友支持。 Brown's specialty is getting it. 而Brown的專長，就是實現這個目標。 To see that, we can peek back into the Brown household. 要想知道Brown將會如何實現它，我們可以略為觀察一下Brown的家庭。 Son Elijah, a 6-foot-3 combo guard who is No. 60 on Rivals.com's national scouting list for high school juniors, has started to take off over the past year with his vastly improved work ethic. Take a wild guess who has been on Elijah about that. 他的兒子Elijah，一個6呎3的雙能衛，在Rivals.com的國家高中生排名中位列第60。去年他因為他展現出的比賽熱情有著顯著的提升，而開始展露成為球星的特質。猜一猜，是誰讓Elijah如此蛻變的。 "His game is the complete opposite of mine: Elijah does have talent; I never had talent," Brown said. "But the things I know I did: I hit people, and I worked hard. Elijah's just too smooth and too cute for me out on that floor. "他的比賽和我是完全相反的：Elijah有很好的天賦；而我從來沒有這些。" Brown說道， "但是我知道我在做什麼：我不相信我比別人差，所以我比別人更努力。 Elijah在球場上取得這樣的成績，在我看來真是太過順利了。 "So literally, if we're in the gym, if we're lucky, we'll get through a workout. But most times, I end up kicking him out of the gym before it even gets started, almost. I'm just a stickler about hard work." "不誇張，如果我們在體育館裡，如果我們夠幸運，我們將有一起完成訓練的機會，但是在大多數的時候，我在訓練幾乎還沒開始的時候就會受不了將他踢出體育館。" "對於努力，我就是這樣一個老頑固。" -- █ 洛城 ◢◣ ███◣ 浪子 Los Angeles Boys ★ █ ★ ◢██◣ ★ █ █ ◥█ █φlin798183 ◤ █ █ ██ ◤ ██◤ █ █ ██◤ ◢ ◢◣ █◤◢█ ◢◣ ◤ █◣ █ ◢ ██◤ ◥ █ ◥ ◥◤ █ █ ◥◤ ◢ █ ◤ █ ◢ ◥█ ███◣ ◥ ◤ ███◤ ◢██ ◥██ ◢█◤ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.113.68.35 ※ 編輯: LABOYS 來自: 140.113.68.35 (09/21 13:41)
