http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/758034.html Reggie Theus had no choice. He has 11 other Kings to court. He can't fine John Salmons and Mikki Moore for public outbursts, then turn his cheek when Ron Artest pops him a good one. 教练已经没有选择，他有11名球员可以用。他没有办法从鲑鱼和Mikki拿到他想要的， 但阿泰这时候跳了出来。 But now what? What if Artest rebels? If Kevin Martin slips into another funk? If the rejuvenated Brad Miller fatigues? If the tension in the locker room persists? 但现在该怎麽办？要是阿泰又开始造反？要是马丁又开始像个隐形人？要是大米累了？ 要是休息室的气氛又开始紧张了？ These next few weeks – and how Theus governs and his players respond – will hint at who stays and who goes, who Geoff Petrie projects as part of the future, and perhaps, whether or not Reggie clicks with the NBA or privately craves the more autocratic environment of college basketball. 再过几个礼拜，教练如何带兵和球员的表现，都将会影响到他们的去留，也许，教练会 继续待在NBA，也或者想要去当有更大权力的大学教练。 "This is the time when things turned sour last year," noted Theus, referring to the club's identical 27-32 record under Eric Musselman. "I'm well aware of that. I think it's fair to say that we've gained back a lot of the respect by competing and playing hard every night. That's worth fighting for." "去年这个时候事情也变得不太好"教练注意到，战绩和去年肌肉男带兵相同。"我很在意 那个。我想今年我们获得很多尊重，每晚也很努力，这一切都是值得的" It's true. It's not as miserable a season. In spite of the debilitating early injuries, Theus' inexperience and the occasional disruptions and chronic trade conversations involving Artest, these Kings are a far more entertaining bunch. Even their family feuds are fun, partly because their rookie coach, as a former actor, displays a healthy appreciation for arts and tradition: While awaiting the lottery and rebuilding, the idea is to create a diversion, preferably something suggesting a brighter future. 没错，这不是个可怜的球季。尽管球季一开始的伤兵，教练的没经验和有时候的不合，长 期关於阿泰的乳摸，这些球员打得远远超过上一季。甚至争吵都是有趣的，部份是因为他 们的菜鸟教练，就像个前演员，展现出对艺术和传统的欣赏；当在等待选秀和重建时，这 些事使得球队更有趣，而更有光明的未来。 Yet with 23 games remaining, the mood has darkened. The spats seem nastier. The effort wavers, though somewhat understandably. The calendar is the fiercest opponent, particularly for veterans who do the math and can't count on a postseason. 还剩下23场比赛，心情已经暗了下来，炮火似乎变得猛烈。而时间是最大的敌人，尤其 是对於老将不能进季後赛而言。 Theus' most immediate task is to avert a potential uprising against his heavy-handed leadership, and his challenge begins again with Artest, who, with an obvious agenda, vented to reporters after Sunday's victory against the Miami Heat. 教练当务之急就是要避免让和他对抗的势力上升，而这大头目，就是阿泰，在对热火拿 下胜利後又再度开炮。 He disagreed with Theus' substitutions and questioned his coach's motivation. He chided some of his teammates for conceding the season, and others for a lack of defensive intensity. He named names. 他对於教练的方式并不认同。为了球季的失败而责怪对友，还有缺乏防守强度。他一一 指名。 "Ron has gone after every coach he has played for," said Theus, responding after Monday's practice. "I truly believe his intentions are that he wants to win, and I think sometimes he has trouble expressing that. (But) what Ron has to focus on is that this team needs to finish strong, and he needs to finish strong, and incident-free." "阿泰跟过许多教练"，教练说，在礼拜一的练习後。"我确信他的很想赢，而我想有时候 他只是表达错误。阿泰希望的是球队很精彩的结束，且不会出差错" Interestingly, and despite their apparent disconnect, Theus and Artest are in agreement on the pivotal point; both are intent on winning as many games as possible. Theus, it should be noted, continues to play the veterans extensive minutes while Petrie quietly presses for more sightings of Spencer Hawes, Quincy Douby, Shelden Williams and Francisco Garcia. 有趣的是，不管他们很明显的错误，教练和阿泰都是很重要的；都想要尽可能地赢球。 教练持续让老将上场很长的时间，当总管要求让Hawes、Douby、Williams和 Cisco有更 多露脸机会的时候。 In some respects, this latest dance can be reduced to the simple fact that the ultra-competitive Artest is increasingly frustrated about the Kings' postseason prospects. 某些方面来说，阿泰因为无法进入季後赛而失望，会使得事情变得简单。 "I want to get into these playoffs really, really bad," he continued, "and there are a couple guys that want the same thing. I'm a sore loser. It's never crossed my mind that we're not going to get into the playoffs. The only thing I support is winning. It's more important to me than anything." "我真的想要进季後赛"。他继续说"而且很多人也都这麽想，我是个输不起的人。我 从来就没有想过我们会进不了季後赛。我唯一的信念就是赢球，对我而言比任何东西都 还要重要" Yet as so often occurs with the Kings' best player, Artest's mannerisms revealed more than his words. Though polite and accommodating while seated in a chair after practice, he was chippy, agitated. He was in continual motion, his legs swaying rhythmically, his massive hands gripping the sides of the chair. Uncharacteristically, he avoided eye contact. 阿泰的举止已经透露了他的想法。虽然他在练习後很乖巧的坐在椅子上，但其实他很闷， 很激动。他的腿动个不停，他强壮的双手抓着椅子的边边，不寻常地，他避开了别人的目 光。 Artest, it should be remembered, has more serious concerns than wins and losses. His 4-year-old daughter is still recovering from cancer surgery. He can become a free agent this summer, and given the Kings' reluctance to offer a long-term deal, is contemplating another move, another team, another coach. 阿泰，应该记住的是，有更多事情比输赢还要重要。他4岁大的女儿还在癌症手术复原中 他在今年夏天会变成FA，而如果让国王不太想给他长约，那应该就会去别的球队了。 "He plays so damn hard," Theus said. "You can't jump on him every time. Sometimes it gets heated. Now when it goes beyond that, I have to deal with it." "他真的非常努力"教练说"你没有办法越过他。有时候会有一些麻烦，如果超越限度时， 我必须去处理」 That, and everything else, including boosting Martin's confidence, developing the younger players without alienating the veterans, determining when to incite passion and when to extinguish the flames. Learning how to govern as an NBA head coach. "还有其他一些事，包括增强马丁的信心，培养年轻球员而不会忽略老将，决定什麽时候렊该燃起激情，什麽时候该灭火冷静一下。学着怎麽更像个NBA教练。 "Sometimes a little adversity keeps you focused," Theus added with a laugh. "I know a great coach (Jerry Tarkanian) who used to manufacture adversity sometimes. I didn't know what he was doing then, but I do now." "有时候你总是会面临一些困境"教练笑了"我知道Jerry Tarkanian有时会去碰到一些问题 我是不知道他後来怎麽办，但我现在知道我该怎麽做" --
