Adelman says he would have liked to stay http://0rz.net/731m4 By Victor Contreras -- Bee Assistant Sports Editor One day after the Kings announced they would go in a different direction with their coaching staff, former head coach Rick Adelman had his say Wednesday afternoon at the team's practice facility. Adelman, who had led the Kings to the playoffs in each of his eight seasons in Sacramento, thanked his current and former players, the team staff, fans and his family for their support. And if he had it his way, Adelman said, he would have liked the chance for a ninth season and beyond. 艾德蒙教练周三下午在国王队的练习设施内发表感言，感谢他现任与过 往曾执教过的国王球员、球队管理人员、球迷与他的家人对他的支持。 艾德蒙说，若能照他的意思来做，他希望能有执教第九季甚至更多球季 的机会。 But it never happened. 但这并未实现。 "If there's anything I would have liked to have done was to have a conversation and see if something else could have been done," Adelman said before more than a dozen members of the media. "I had thought a lot about it, I looked at the situation and I felt there was a lot more reason to want to come back than not want to come back. I told (co-owner) Joe Maloof that on the phone on Monday, but it was pretty apparent way before the playoffs that the decision had been made." 「若有任何事是我想做的，我希望能坐下来谈谈，看看事情是否有别的 转机。」艾德蒙说。「我考虑良久，重新审视情势，发现有许多因素让 我想要重返球队，而非就此离去。周一时我与Joe Maloof通过电话，但 很明显的在季後赛开始之前，他们就已作下这个决定。」 Adelman, who was hired by the Kings in September 1998, received four contract extensions before the Maloofs and Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie decided to look for a coach with a strong defensive profile. 现在Petrie决定寻找有强韧防守背景的教练。 Adelman, whose wife, Mary Kay, was in attendance, said he will take time off before making his next move -- whether it's in the NBA or college. 艾德蒙之妻玛莉‧凯说他会在决定下一步之前先稍事歇息，不论未来会 是在NBA或大学执教。 "I think I owe it to my wife to sit down and see what we want to do," Adelman said. Adelman's Kings reached the Western Conference semifinals three times and the conference finals once, losing the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games in 2002. 艾德蒙麾下的国王猛将曾杀至西区准决赛三次，2002年曾在西区决战与 湖人战至第七战才落败。 He ends his stay in Sacramento with a franchise-best record of 395-229. But his record of 34-35 in the playoffs -- four first- round exits -- wasn't good enough. 他结束了待在沙加缅度的日子，带着球队史上最佳执教战绩 395-229转身 离去。但他在季後赛 34-35的纪录，其中包含四次第一轮便出局，似乎显 得不够好。 "I don't look at it as being fired," he said. "I fulfilled my contract." 「我不认为这算是被开除。」老艾说。「我完成了我的合约。」 -- ─Ｈａｉｌ★ｔｏ★ｔｈｅ─────────────────── ╭══╮ ╭═ ╭═ ║ ║║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ★ ║║ ║ ║ ╬═ ╬═ ║ ║║ ║ ║ ║ ║ http://HailtotheQuiff.com/ ─╰══╩╰══╯ ╩ ╩ ╩ ─────────────── --
