I even saw that written once. What's the truth? SI.com: 所以，根据各方传闻，有人说你可能会在纽约待到下个球季、 追逐奥兰多魔术队或者留在纽约等布鲁克林篮网上门之类的。我甚至看 过有报纸这麽写过。到底哪个消息是真的？ Mike D'Antoni: The truth is, you can't win when those stories come out. Nobody has called me about the Orlando job. When I saw those stories, I immediately texted Stan [Van Gundy, the Magic coach] and told him it was bull----. If I even answer the question, somebody will say, "Well, hell, nobody offered it to you, so why are you talking about it? They have a coach." And that would be correct. But if I give an unqualified "no," and something happens later, then I look like a liar. M.D: 老实说，不管怎麽做，只要消息传出去了，想要反驳还真的 很难。其实根本没人打电话要我去魔术队。当我看到那些报导後， 立刻就传简讯给大范，跟他说那些报导根本就是无的放矢(屎)。而且 就算我真的回应了那些问题，还是会有人说，“既然没人要聘你，那 你又何必多话呢？“ 反正魔术队现在是有教练的。这样说就对了。 但要是我在未经证实下说，没这回事，可之後状况却变了，反而会把 自己搞得像个骗子。 SI.com: So you are still interested in coaching? SI.com: 所以您对带球队还是很有兴趣罗？ M.D.: Yes. I'm not making a secret about that. I want to get back. But nothing is going on now, and the smart money says that I will hang out here [at his suburban home]. Michael will be a senior and to let him finish and graduate would be one good reason to stay here for a year. M.D: 当然。我没打算隐瞒这件事。我想要回去带队。只是现在没啥动静， 专家们也认为我会在纽约再待一阵子(在郊区的家里)。毕竟我儿子麦可就要 升高三了，在纽约多留一年让他念到毕业也是应该的。 SI.com: It was pretty consistently reported that you quit and were not fired. But there is still some doubt because what you did was unusual. "Quitting" almost always means "fired." So which is it? SI.com: 媒体一直报导说你当初是退出不是被解雇。但是外面还是有 许多质疑的声音，因为你的做法还蛮不寻常的。毕竟“退出“几乎就 等於是“解雇“。所以到底哪个说法才是真的？ M.D.: I absolutely resigned. I was in my car driving to shootaround and it just came to me. That's it. It's inevitable. I have to resign. We're not going anywhere. I made the decision then and there. I called Glen [Grunwald, the Knicks' general manager] and told him that I was coming in to do it. Then I called Laurel [his wife] to tell her. Glen called in Mr. Dolan [Knicks owner James Dolan] and I met them after shootaround and told them that I was resigning. M.D.: 我真的是辞职的。那天我开车要去参加晨练，然後就冒出辞职 的念头。当下打定了主意。实在没法再逃避了。我必须要辞职。球队 真是到寸步难行。我就在去晨练的路上决定要辞职的。然後打给尼克 的大总管Glen，跟他说我决定要离开了。接着打给我老婆Laurel跟她 说辞职的事。Glen便打给尼克的老板Dolan，我在晨练後跟他们两位 碰头，然後告诉他们，我决定不干了。 SI.com: But Dolan didn't exactly get on his knees and beg you to stay, right? You were at the end of your contract and it probably wouldn't have worked out for another one. SI.com: 可是Dolan听到後没有跪下来求你别走，对吧？你的合约 其实也快结束了，按当时情况大概也不可能签新约。 M.D.: I'd say that's accurate. M.D.: 没错就是这样。 SI.com: Quitting must've been very hard since ... SI.com: 自从退出尼克後，你应该觉得很不好受吧… M.D.: Could you use the word "resign?" It hurts when I even hear the word "quit." M.D.:可以请你改用“辞职“这个词吗？只要听到“退出“这词，我 就觉得心痛啊。 SI.com: [Directed to Dan D'Antoni] What did you think when Mike called you? SI.com：(转头问了弟弟丹) 当你哥打电话跟你说要走人时，你有啥想法？ Dan D'Antoni: Hell, I didn't even find out from Mike. I was getting ready to go to the game and Glen called me. Dan:见鬼了，我根本不是从我哥那得到辞职消息的。我才准备好要去 晨练场地时就接到大总管Glen来电。 M.D.: The hell I didn't call you. M.D.: 我怎麽可能见鬼地没打给你。 D.D.: The hell you did. [He was laughing but he was serious.] True, you called me later, but I got that first call from Glen. I asked him, "Well, is there anything you want me to do? You want me to come down there?" And he told me that they were letting Phil [Weber, another assistant] and me go because we were too close to Mike. So that was that. One minute I'm going to the game, the next minute I'm out of a job. D.D.:你最好见鬼地有打给我啦！(丹虽笑着说但却是很认真的表情) 真的，你是事後才打给我的，我先接到的是Glen的电话。我还问他， “还有没有其他事要我帮忙的？要不要我去盯球赛？而Glen跟我说， 上头要Phil（另外一个助理教练）和我一起辞职，因为我们跟我哥 的关系太亲。所以结果就是这样。在前一分钟我还准备要去盯球赛， 下一分钟我工作就没了。 SI.com: What did you think of Mike's decision? SI.com:对於哥哥的决定，你有什麽想法吗？ D.D.: It was his and his alone. I'm just thankful for the opportunity he gave me. D.D.: 这是他自己一个人所作的决定。我只是很感激他能给我这个 工作机会。 SI.com: [Back to Mike] Why didn't you go to the Garden and have a press conference? It must've hurt you not to tell the players in person. SI.com:（继续访问丹东尼）为啥递完辞呈後连花园也没去，也不开 记者会说明？辞职没能亲口跟球员说，你一定觉得很难过才对。 M.D.: I just thought it would be better if I didn't show up. I wasn't going to coach them anymore, so why complicate it? I ended up talking to most of the players anyway. Many of them called me. M.D.: 我当时只是觉得不要现身会比较好。毕竟我不再是他们的教练， 又何必把事情弄得更复杂。反正最後我也跟大部份的球员说上话了。 很多球员也有打电话给我。 SI.com: Which ones didn't? And which ones haven't you talked to? SI.com: 有谁没跟你联络吗？有哪些人是你至今还没说上话的？ M.D.: I'm not getting into that. M.D.:我想还是别继续这个话题罢。 SI.com: Did you watch the game that night [a 121-79 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers]? SI.com:辞职那晚的比赛你有看吗？(尼克以121-79大破拓荒者) M.D.: No. I got into my pajamas and didn't get out of them for a month. You know those people who deliver the food from Meals on Wheels? They were the only ones who saw me. M.D.: 没看耶。我回家後换上睡衣，然後过了一整个月穿睡衣的日子。 你知道那些替外卖餐厅服务的送餐人员吧？这段时间就只有他们有见过我。 SI.com: Nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humor. SI.com：很高兴看到你冷笑话的功力还没消失。 M.D.: Who says I'm kidding? Seriously, resigning hurt. It hurt a lot. It still does. M.D.:谁说我在开玩笑啊？ 说正格的，辞职真的挺受伤的。而且伤很大。 到现在伤口还在痛。 SI.com: The widest-held theory is that you couldn't get along with Carmelo Anthony, that any schism on the team, the report that you had "lost the team," came from ... SI.com:根据外面最常见的说法，指你跟甜瓜处不好，导致球队内部分裂， 还有报导说你已经“失去球队的心了，“…. M.D.: I'm just not going to get into specifics. It came to the point that I had to resign, that's all. It was time. We weren't going anywhere and I was the coach. M.D.:我不打算在细节上纠结了。事实就是我已经到了非辞职不可的节骨眼 上了，就是这样。辞职的时候到了。当时整个球队陷入了鬼挡墙的状况， 而且带头的教练就是我。 SI.com: All right, a theoretical question. You're a coach who likes an open floor, an active point guard, quick shots, pick-and-rolls, "dribble-ats," lots of movement. Carmelo is a post-up player who needs the ball and demands the ball. He's great but he kills the clock. Can that ever work? Was it doomed from the beginning? SI.com: 好吧，问个理论上的问题。你的教练风格是偏好全场进攻的，需要 的是一个行动力强的控卫、快速得分、进行挡拆、”运球递球後掩护”等许 多的动作。但是甜瓜是单打型的球员，他需要球权，持球时间又长。他当然 是很优秀的球员没错，但真的很吃时间。这有可能跟你的风格合得来吗？这 搭配是不是从一开始就已注定没搞头了？ M.D.: Look, I've coached players who post up. Heck, Amar'e [Stoudemire, a Knicks forward] has been a post-up player. We used to post up Boris Diaw a lot in Phoenix. There are always things that can be done by mixing it up. Now, was it the best situation for my coaching philosophy? No. But there's never one answer for why things don't work out. M.D.: 你要知道，我曾经带过很多单打型的球员。阿骂(尼克大前锋) 一直都是单打型的球员。我们过去在太阳时代也跟单打型的Boris Diaw 常常合作。其实只要能好好搭配菜色，事情一定可以做好。现在看来， 当时的状况对我的带队风格是最有利的吗？确实不是。但是要追究结果 为何失败，却没办法归咎於单一因素。 SI.com: When you decided to go to Jeremy Lin as your point guard, did you ever think he could be that good? And as it was happening, did you guys whisper among yourselves, "Man, this can't go on forever"? SI.com: 当初你决定起用林书豪当控卫时，有预料到他会表现这麽好吗？ 当後来事情发展越来越顺时，你们有在队内嘀咕过，“这状况应该不可能 都一直这麽好吧“？ M.D.: Anyone who claims they saw this in Jeremy is kidding himself. But we liked him. We thought he could be good. And, then, when he started to be real good ... of course it was surprising ... but it somehow made sense. The things he does – he can get into the lane, he can shoot, he's tough, he's athletic, his confidence was growing and growing. It became almost logical that he was that good during that time. M.D.:要是有人敢说他们老早就看出林书豪大有可为一定是自欺欺人。不过， 当时我们的确很欣赏他。我们觉得他应该可以打得不错。然後，接下来当他 真的开始发光时….当然是很惊讶…但是仍然觉得这一切是有迹可循的。这 家伙很能干的-他能进攻篮下、能得分、韧性好、体能强，而且他的自信也 越打越好。所以，那段时间他可以打这麽好，其实是挺合理的。 D.D.: It comes down to this: Jeremy ran what Mike teaches really, really well. D.D.: 归根结底：书豪真的是把我哥教给他的东西执行的非常、非常的好。 SI.com: Was the experience of coaching in New York more difficult than you thought? SI.com: 在纽约执教的经验是否比你预期的还要困难？ M.D.: I'm not going to do any woe-is-me. There's a lot of pressure but that's why they pay you. It's still a great job, and I think Woody [Woodson] will do a great job. It got to the point where we had problems, we could not solve them, and an obstacle had to be removed. M.D.:我不想说那些我就是倒楣鬼这种话。执教纽约的日子压力的确很大，但是 这也是他们给钱爽快的原因。这还是一份很棒的工作，我认为武僧可以做的 很好。当时的状况就是，我们遇到问题了，而且不但解决不了，还有一个障碍 等着被排除。 SI.com: One more thing: What was your wife's reaction when you told her you were quitting? SI.com: 再问一个问题：当你告知你老婆辞职的消息时，她有什麽反应吗？ M.D.: She told me I should stop at the store on my way home because we were out of milk. M.D.:我老婆要我回家的路上记得停下来去商店买点东西，因为家里牛奶 都喝光了。 SI.com: Don't rule out a future in comedy. SI.com: 将来有机会演喜剧可别错过哪。 M.D.: I haven't. M.D.: 我不会的。 ================================================================== 冷笑话，加油！ 感谢你愿意给Jeremy先发的机会，不管当时是不是瞎猫碰 上死耗子。希望你们奥运陪练时可以好好叙叙旧，NBA就这麽大，谁知道说 不准未来还有合作的机会。 --
