Philosophical differences
By Adrian Wojnarowski, Special to ESPN.com
NEW YORK -- He always did dare Phil Jackson to take one of those jobs where
there was no Hall of Fame talent on the roster,where there was no time to
pass out library books in the locker room when a bunch of a AAU-produced
knuckleheads had never heard of the pick and roll -- never mind Zen. If Jackson was going to obliterate Red Auerbach's record for NBA championships,
Red wanted to see him do it the old-fashioned way,beginning in a hot gymnasium
,teaching the game to a reclamation project.
紐約--他總是認為Phil Jackson會敢於接受他的球員名單上沒有任何天才名人堂球員
的挑戰。當一竿子呆頭呆腦的球員連檔拆戰術都不會的時候,當然也就沒有時間在休息
室裡發下富有哲學味的書本-別再去想「禪」的事情了。 如果Jackson想要刷新Red
Auerbach的NBA冠軍紀錄,Red希望他可以用比較傳統的方式去達成。從一座悶熱的體育
館開始(暑假),慢慢的教導(球隊)直到成果豐收為止。
"He's done a fantastic job with the teams he had -- either Chicago or Los
Angeles," Auerbach told me once. "All I said is that he never tried it the
other way. He's never tried building a team and teaching the fundamentals.
I'm not saying he can't do it. Maybe he can. But he never had to. When he's
gone in there, they've been ready-made for him. It's just a matter of putting
his system in there. They don't worry about developing players if they're not
good enough. They just go get someone else."
"他和他的隊伍已經做到許多不可思議的事情-不論是在Chicago或是Los Angels,"
Auerbach曾經這麼告訴過我。 "我所說的就是他從來不曾試試另一種方法。他從未試著
打造一個團隊並且教導他們基本的事情。但我不是說他不能做到。或許他可以,但是他從
來不曾這麼做。當他接手時都已經是一支完整的球隊了,他只需要把他的那一套帶給他們
就可以了。他們(教練團)從不擔心如何鍛鍊一個球員如果他還不夠好。他們只要找到另一
個球員就行了。"
"But hey, when the guy has won as many close games as he has, he's got to be pr
etty damn good."
"但是當一個人幾乎贏了所有的激烈比賽,他一定是非常厲害的。"
The Knicks shouldn't let Jackson do it on their dime -- or, say, $35 million
over five seasons. How can nine NBA championship rings be wrong when hiring a
coach? Well, it is for the Knicks. Jackson is a massager, a consensus maker,
a coach of nips and tucks and tweaks. His style is subtle, not jarring. And
the Knicks need jarring.
尼克隊不應該讓Jackson來接教練,以五季三千五百萬價碼。聘請一個擁有九個冠軍戒指的
教練怎麼可能是錯誤的決定? 但這是尼克的教練。Jackson是一個擅於調整和製造共識的
人,一個精於利用小手段讓本來已經很好的隊更上一層樓的教練。他的風格是隱晦狡黠的
,而不是大刀闊斧的。 而尼克需要的正好是大刀闊斧的改造。
They need Larry Brown.
他們需要Larry brown.
A rejuvenated Hubie Brown.
一個更年輕一點的Hubie Brown.
Or, the coach they could've had a year ago, Mike Fratello.
或是那個他們一年前未能成功雇用的教練,Mike Fratello.
They need old-school, not new-age. They don't need Zen, but a kick in the butt.
And could you imagine running the triangle offense with Stephon Marbury, Jamal
Crawford and Tim Thomas? It would be the Bermuda Triangle offense.
他們需要傳統方式而不是新潮的作風。他們不需要「禪」,只需要被狠狠踢一腳。然後你能
想像Stephon Marbury,Jamal Crawford和Tim Thomas打三角戰術的模樣嗎? 那可能會變成
百慕達三角洲!
This isn't to suggest that Isiah Thomas should hire Jackson under no circumstan
ces, because let's face it Jackson is a smart man, and his staggering success
ought to give him the benefit of the doubt that he could adjust his style to
meet the needs of a forsaken franchise. What's more, Jackson's a Knick. He's
one of Red Holzman's champions.
這並不是暗示說Isiah Thomas不管怎樣都不能雇用Jackson,因為我們應該要知道Jackson是
個聰明人,而他過去輝煌的戰績使他能夠合理地懷疑自己能不能夠調整作風只為了去滿足一
項被摒棄的交易。別忘了Jackson是尼克出身的。他是Red Hilzman冠軍時代的一員。
But that's not a reason to hire Jackson, and it sure doesn't make him the best
choice for the job. If Larry Brown can get out of his contract with the Pistons
,he's the coach for the Knicks. He's made his reputation turning reclamation
projects into contenders. He walks into the gym, tightens up the defense,spread
s the ball and gets the most out of everyone. He's a Long Island kid, and he's
always dreamed of coaching the Knicks at the Garden.
但這不構成雇用Jackson的理由也不能使他成為這份工作的最佳選擇。如果Larry Brown可
以脫離跟活塞隊的合約,他就會是尼克的教頭。他已經建立他的名聲,成功改造一支球隊
並且成為冠軍的有力競爭者。他走進體育館裡,訓練強悍的防守,平均分配拿球,讓每個人
都發揮最大的戰力。他來自長島,他過去總是夢想成為尼克隊的教練在麥尼遜花園廣場執
教。
With the Pistons' 2004 NBA title, Brown officially maxed-out the Detroit job.
They were never suited to be repeated champions, just a one-shot champion when
circumstances broke right for him. Of course, Brown' tough to tolerate for
management at every stop, and it sounds like Bill Davidson and Joe Dumars are
discovering the bad that comes with the good.
贏得了2004年的NBA冠軍,Brown正式地將底特律給的任務發揮得淋漓盡致。但是他們不會再
拿一次冠軍,當情勢有利一次冠軍隊他們來說就已經很不錯了。當然Brown絕對夠強悍,他可
以在任何地方容忍任何管理階層,而Bill Davidson和Joe Dumars 已經發現到好消息壞消息
同時存在。
The Knicks would have to think twice about giving up more draft picks for the
rights to Brown, given that Jackson comes compensation-free. Yet Jackson isn't
the perfect coach for the Knicks, and they need to find the perfect coach.
Thomas has to set his ego aside, allow for someone else to share the face of
the franchise and get a front-line figure for his bench.
尼克應該要再多想想是否要犧牲更多選秀機會去成就Brown的到來,如果Jackson可以無事一
身輕的上任。但是Jackson不是尼克教練的最佳人選,而他們急需一個最好的。
Thomas必須要將自我放在一邊,讓其他人參與交易的決定,並且想辦法弄來一些堪用的替補
球員。
They need someone willing to step down off that championship pedestal,down into
the trenches of New York City,and roll his sleeves up to get on hellacious job
done. They don't need a manager of egos,because how these Knicks feel is
immaterial. They need toughness,and directness and a teacher of the game. For a
championship contender on the cusp, Phil Jackson is the only choice, but these
aren't the Knicks now. Nor soon. And these sure aren't the Holzman Knicks of
the early 1970s.
他們需要一個願意走下那個冠軍獎座的人,並且走進那個叫做紐約市的壕溝,捲起袖子把這
個吃力的工作做好。他們不需要一個自我中心的總裁,因為尼克人心中在乎的不是物質面的東
西。他們需要直接、強悍,還需要一個球賽的導師。隊一支冠軍熱門隊伍而言Jackson是唯
一的選擇,但現階段的尼克不是。短期之內都不會是。這當然也不會是1970年代初期
Holzman的尼克。
This is a mess, and as much as Red Auerbach urges him to try, Phil Jackson simp
ly doesn't do windows.
這的確是一個混亂的情況,Red Auerbach力勸Jackson去試試,他似乎仍在觀望。
