Why Spurs associate head coach Sean Sweeney is the unsung hero of the NBA
playoffs
為什麼馬刺首席助教 Sean Sweeney 是 NBA 季後賽的無名英雄?
Meet Sweeney, the Minnesota-born former college point guard who has fashioned
the NBA's most fearsome defense
來認識這位出生於明尼蘇達的前大學控衛,他打造了 NBA 目前最令人恐懼的防守體系
By Jeff McDonald,Staff WriterMay 14, 2026
MINNEAPOLIS — The notebook seems to follow Sean Sweeney everywhere: from
Spurs coaches’ meetings, to film sessions, to one-one-one pow-wows with
players.
那本筆記本似乎隨時隨地都跟著 Sean Sweeney:從馬刺隊的教練會議,到影片分析課,
再到與球員的一對一私下交談。
During games, the yellow legal pad — secured in a brown leather portfolio —
slides under Sweeney’s arm as he stalks the sidelines three steps behind
head coach Mitch Johnson. It rests on his lap on the team plane rides.
比賽期間,這本裝在褐色皮革資料夾裡的黃色法律用紙筆記本(legal pad),就夾在
Sweeney 的腋下;他總是跟在總教練 Mitch Johnson 後方三步距離。在球隊專機上,筆
記本則靜靜地躺在他的膝蓋上。
For the Spurs’ associate head coach, that notebook might as well be a
vestigial appendage. Its contents, however, remain a well-guarded mystery in
Spurs circles.
對於這位馬刺隊的首席助教來說,那本筆記本簡直就像他身體的一部分。然而,筆記本裡
的內容在馬刺圈子內依然是一個被嚴密保護的謎。
“I don’t know,” forward Julian Champagnie said. “And honestly and truly,
I don’t want to know.”
「我不知道(裡面寫什麼),」前鋒 Julian Champagnie 說。「而且老實說,我真的不
想知道。」
This much is almost certainly true: Whatever secrets are scrawled in Sweeney’
s trusty notebook are a big reason the Spurs are one victory away from
returning to the Western Conference finals for the first time in nine years.
但有一件事幾乎可以肯定:無論 Sweeney 那本可靠的筆記本裡草寫了什麼秘密,都是馬
刺隊現在距離九年來首度重返西區決賽僅剩一場勝利的重要原因。
Renowned NBA-wide as a defensive savant, the 41-year-old Sweeney joined
Johnson’s staff last summer after four seasons in Dallas.
現年 41 歲的 Sweeney 在NBA享有防守大師的美譽。在達拉斯效力四個賽季後,他於去年
夏天加入了 Johnson 的教練團。
The results have been as immediate as they are imposing. After posting the
league’s fifth-worst defense in 2024-25, the Spurs jumped to third during
the recently completed regular season.
成效既迅速且驚人。馬刺隊在 2024-25 賽季的防守排名全聯盟倒數第五,但在剛結束的
例行賽中,他們一躍成為聯盟第三。
Heading into Game 6 of the conference semifinals Friday in Minnesota — a
series San Antonio leads 3-2 — the Spurs boast the league’s top playoff
defense, allowing a paltry 102 points per 100 possessions.
在週五於明尼蘇達進行的西區準決賽第六戰前(聖安東尼奧目前以 3-2 領先),馬刺隊
擁全聯盟季後賽最佳的防守數據,每百回合僅失 102 分。
How much credit does Sweeney deserve for the Spurs’ stark defensive
about-face? Just ask the league’s first unanimous Defensive Player of the
Year.
Sweeney 應該為馬刺這番脫胎換骨的防守表現分得多少功勞?問問聯盟首位全票通過的年
度最佳防守球員(DPOY)就知道了。
“All of it,” Victor Wembanyama said.
「全部的功勞,」Victor Wembanyama 說。
The unsung star of the Spurs’ playoff run is a 5-foot-11, carrot-topped
Minnesotan who grew up just across the Mississippi River from the Target
Center in St. Paul and looks like he might have wandered off the set of “The
Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
這位馬刺季後賽征途中的無名球星,是一位身高 5 呎 11 吋、留著紅髮的明尼蘇達人。
他在距離 Target Center 球場僅密西西比河之隔的聖保羅長大,外表看起來平易近人,
甚至像是從懷舊情境喜劇劇組裡走出來的人物。
Looks, however, can be deceiving.
然而,外表是會騙人的。
To hear several Spurs tell it, Sweeney is a mad scientist with a steel-trap
mind and a sailor’s mouth.
根據幾位馬刺球員的描述,Sweeney 是個擁有精密大腦和水手般粗鄙口條的瘋狂科學家。
“He’ll come to the bench and just start tripping, cursing us out,”
Champagnie said with a laugh. “More often than not, he ends up losing his
voice — running out of air, because he’s screaming at us so much.”
「他會來到板凳區然後開始抓狂,對著我們狂飆髒話,」Champagnie 笑著說。「通常最
後他的嗓子都會啞掉,因為他對我們吼得太兇了,吼到沒氣。」
Sweeney has not been made available to the media for interviews, but the Spurs
’ defensive numbers speak for themselves.
雖然 Sweeney 並未接受媒體採訪,但馬刺隊的防守數據已說明了一切。
Entering Friday, the Spurs have played 10 playoff games. They have limited
opponents to less than 100 points in half of them.
截至週五,馬刺已打了 10 場季後賽,其中有一半的場次將對手得分限制在 100 分以下
。
That has been an unfailing winning formula. Including the regular season, the
Spurs are 16-0 when keeping teams below the century mark.
這是一個不敗方程式:包括例行賽在內,只要將對手得分壓低在百分之內,馬刺的戰績
是 16 勝 0 敗。
In the conference semifinals, the Spurs’ Sweeney-led defense has unveiled a
slew of halfcourt traps against the Timberwolves’ All-Star (albeit hobbled)
guard Anthony Edwards that has oft rendered Minnesota’s offense inoperable.
在本系列賽中,Sweeney 領導的防守體系對灰狼明星後衛 Anthony Edwards 施加了大量
的半場包夾陷阱,這往往讓明尼蘇達的進攻陷入癱瘓。
Granted, the schemes work primarily because the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama is there
to close down roughly half the floor at any given time. Still, Spurs players
praise Sweeney for getting all of them on the same page.
當然,這些策略之所以奏效,主因是 7 呎 4 吋的 Wembanyama 隨時在那裡封鎖住半個球
場。儘管如此,球員們仍稱讚 Sweeney 讓大家齊心協力。
“His attention to detail on everything and the way he can explain things to
make it make sense for us (is big),” guard Stephon Castle said. “He’s a
big reason we’re one of the top defenses in the West.”
「他對細節的專注,以及他解釋事情的方式能讓我們聽得懂,這非常關鍵,」後衛
Stephon Castle 說。「他是我們能成為西區頂尖防守球隊的主因。」
Indeed, Sweeney’s arrival in San Antonio has turned out to be one of the
most consequential free-agent acquisitions of the last NBA offseason.
Sweeney 加入聖安東尼奧,被證明是去年休賽季 NBA 最具影響力的引援之一。
When the 39-year-old Johnson took over full-time for Gregg Popovich last
summer, one of the first items on his to-do list was to put together a staff.
The Spurs retained a pair of holdovers from Popovich's bench, Matt Neilsen
and Mike Noyes.
當 39 歲的 Johnson 去年夏天接替 Gregg Popovich 擔任總教練時,首要任務就是組建
教練團。馬刺留用了 Popovich 時期的兩位助教 Matt Neilsen 和 Mike Noyes。
Johnson's move from the assistant's room to the head coach's office resulted
in one vacancy. Another was created when longtime Popovich aide Brett Brown
voluntarily opted to move to the front office in a consulting role.
而隨著 Johnson 的升遷以及老臣 Brett Brown 轉任管理層顧問,出現了職位空缺。
Johnson ended up adding three new assistants to a super-sized staff —
Sweeney; Corliss Williamson, a former NBA player and veteran assistant who
coached last season in Minnesota; and Scott King, who had been the head coach
of the G League’s Austin Spurs.
Johnson 最終為這支龐大的教練團引進了三位新面孔:Sweeney;曾在明尼蘇達執教、擁
有球員背景的老將助教 Corliss Williamson;以及原本身為 G 聯盟奧斯汀馬刺隊總教練
的 Scott King。
The notion was not just to check boxes but inject fresh ideas. “To be able
to add to that group was really beneficial,” Johnson said, “and Sean has
been a big part of that.”
「(組建教練團的)初衷並不只是為了填補職位空缺,而是要注入新鮮的想法」。
Johnson 表示:「能夠為這個團隊增添新成員真的非常有益,而 Sean(Sweeney)在其中
扮演了舉足輕重的角色。」
To attract the highly sought-after Sweeney from Dallas, the Spurs offered a
substantial pay bump and the title of associate head coach, a designation
that did not exist under Popovich.
為了從達拉斯挖角炙手可熱的 Sweeney,馬刺提供了大幅加薪,以及在 Popovich 時代從
未出現過的職稱:首席助教(associate head coach)。
Johnson did not know Sweeney personally before last summer, but knew of him.
Both were former college point guards — Johnson at Stanford and Sweeney at
the University of St. Thomas, a private Catholic college in St. Paul.
Johnson 在去年夏天前並不認識 Sweeney,但早有耳聞。兩人都曾是大學時期的控球後衛
。
“I just took a liking to his ability to articulate his basketball philosophy
and what he thought about the game and NBA coaching in general, in terms of
competitiveness and how hard you should coach and holding guys accountable,”
Johnson said. “But also the modern, creative part and thinking outside the
box.”
「我非常欣賞他闡述籃球哲學的能力,包括他對執教 NBA 的看法,以及如何透過競爭心
來要求球員負起責任,」Johnson 說。「同時他也有現代、具創意且跳脫框架思考的一面
。」
Before coming to San Antonio, Sweeney spent eight seasons coaching under
Jason Kidd, with stops in Dallas, Milwaukee and Brooklyn. He was an integral
part of a staff that guided the Mavericks to a Finals berth in 2024. During
that run, Sweeney developed defenses that toppled the Timberwolves and the
Oklahoma City Thunder, the Spurs’ opponent in the next round should they
survive this one.
Sweeney 曾跟隨 Jason Kidd 八個賽季,並在 2024 年協助獨行俠殺入總決賽。在那段旅
程中,他設計的防守先後擊敗了灰狼隊與奧克拉荷馬城雷霆隊(馬刺若晉級,下一輪的對
手正是雷霆)。
“He was always prepared and ready for the moment,” Kidd said.
「他總是準備周全,隨時為關鍵時刻待命」Kidd 說道。
Give Johnson credit for pursuing Sweeney in the first place. Many first-time
head coaches might feel threatened by someone of Sweeney’s stature and
pedigree swooping in.
「首先,必須歸功於 Johnson 當初主動追求 Sweeney 的遠見。許多初任總教練的人,可
能會對於 Sweeney 這種具備名望與資歷的人空降加入感到威脅。」
Not Johnson.
「但 Johnson 並非如此。」
He understood the benefit of building the best staff he could. With that as
the goal, Sweeney’s hire was a no-brainer.
「他明白組建最強教練團所帶來的益處。既然以此為目標,聘請 Sweeney 根本是個理所
當然、無需猶豫的決定。」
For a coach like Johnson, who before last month had never coached in an NBA
playoff game even as an assistant, Sweeney’s presence has been as reassuring
as a favorite blanket.
「對於像 Johnson 這樣在一個月前甚至連助教身分都沒打過 NBA 季後賽的教練來說,
Sweeney 的存在就像一條心愛的毯子一樣令人感到安心。」
“I’ve really enjoyed his honesty,” Johnson said. “I’ve enjoyed his
competitiveness.”
「我非常欣賞他的誠實」教練Mitch Johnson 說道。「我也很喜歡他的競爭意識。」
Sweeney’s contributions have been schematic, designing defenses for
individual games as well as devising in-game adjustments on the fly.
「Sweeney 的貢獻主要在於策略層面,包括針對單場比賽設計防守戰術,以及在比賽進行
中即時做出調整。」
Often, Sweeney can be found trailing Johnson by a few feet on the sidelines,
directing traffic and barking orders.
「在場邊,經常可以看到 Sweeney 跟在 Johnson 身後幾英尺處,指揮著球員跑位並下達
指令。」
His impact goes beyond Xs and Os.
「他的影響力早已超越了單純的戰術板(Xs and Os)。」
Forward Devin Vassell recalls his first meeting with Sweeney over the summer.
The new coach came armed with film from Vassell’s college games at Florida
State, demonstrating for the sixth-year pro the defensive player he could
still become in the NBA.
他的影響力不僅止於戰術板。前鋒 Devin Vassell 回憶起夏天與 Sweeney 的第一次見面
。這位新教練帶著 Vassell 當年在佛羅里達州立大學時期的影片,向這位效力第六年的
老將證明,他在 NBA 仍能成為頂尖的防守球員。
“He showed me clips of me at Florida State, the old days,” Vassell said. “
Just really emphasizing the defensive end and taking pride in that. He's
really just encouraged us to be special on the defensive end.”
「他給我看了我在大學時期的片段,那些老日子,」Vassell 說。「他強調了防守端的重
要性,並要引以為傲。他真的鼓勵我們在防守端成為卓越的存在。」
Sweeney knows how to get his point across, players say. Spurs rookie Dylan
Harper describes Sweeney as "fiery and funny."
球員們說,Sweeney 知道如何把話講到心坎裡。新秀 Dylan Harper 形容他「火爆又幽默
」。
"He always wants to win," Harper said. "He always wants us to do the right
thing. We all understand where he’s coming from when he’s frustrated or
upset.”
「他總是想贏,總是希望我們做正確的事。當他感到挫折或生氣時,我們都明白那是為什
麼。」
When angered, Sweeney’s face can grow as red as the hair on his head.
Players learned quickly what makes Sweeney most unhappy. “When you’re soft,
” Champagnie said. “If we know what we’re supposed to do and just don’t
do it, he hates that (stuff).”
當 Sweeney 生氣時,他的臉會變得跟他的紅髮一樣紅。球員們很快就學會了什麼會讓他
不高興——「當你打得軟弱的時候,」Champagnie 說。「如果我們明明知道該怎麼做卻
沒做到,他最痛恨這種事。」
The deeper the Spurs advance in the playoffs, the higher the likelihood
Sweeney is not in San Antonio next season.
隨著馬刺在季後賽走得越遠,Sweeney 明年留在聖安東尼奧的可能性就越低。
An NBA team in search of a head coach is sure to come calling. Sweeney has
already been linked to openings in Chicago and Portland.
尋找總教練的球隊肯定會找上門,他已經與芝加哥和波特蘭的職缺聯繫在一起。
Spurs players will not be surprised if Sweeney lands one of them.
馬刺球員對此不會感到驚訝。
“A lot of defensive coaches end up being head coaches, especially in the NBA,
” guard De’Aaron Fox said. “I think he could do it now.”
「很多防守教練最後都會成為總教練,特別是在 NBA,」後衛 De'Aaron Fox 說。「我認
為他現在就已經準備好了。」
Asked to name the qualities that would make Sweeney a successful NBA head
coach, Fox chuckled.
當被問及 Sweeney 具備哪些能成為成功主帥的特質時,Fox 笑了笑說:
“He’s definitely crazy enough,” Fox said.
「他絕對夠瘋狂。」
