The plan on its own was flawed, and the execution was even worse.
计划本身就有缺点,而执行地更糟糕。
And no, we're not talking about the Kings' loss in Portland, Ore., on Tuesday
night, but rather the team's travel schedule this week that was established
by former coach Reggie Theus.
不,我们不是在谈论国王在波特兰的输球。而是这礼拜球队的行程,这是之前Theus订的
With the Kings having two days with which to work before playing in Houston,
Theus opted against returning to Sacramento after the game and chose to have
a day off in Portland followed by a practice in Houston today.
国王在去休士顿前有两天空档,Theus选择在波特兰休息一天,之後再去休士顿,而不是
在比赛後就回到Sacramento。
The itinerary – which the Kings attempted to change Monday to no avail for
logistical reasons – was tweaked by interim coach Kenny Natt, who added a
practice in Portland to help expedite his own assimilation process.
国王企图想要改变行程。由Natt来决定,他要待在波特兰时增加一次练习来增进吸收。
But the situation grew even more complicated when rare snowstorms hit
Portland on Tuesday, forcing the Kings to meet only for a short time before
leaving early for Houston.
但情况变得更复杂,因为少见的暴风雪侵袭波特兰,强迫国王早点去休士顿。
Theus' often unorthodox travel plans irked players and staff members and in
some ways hurt his standing. Among the many infamous examples were the past
two Thanksgivings.
Theus通常不按牌理出牌的计划让球员和工作人员厌烦而伤害到战绩。过去的两个感恩节
就是例子。
Last season, the team played in Phoenix the day before the holiday and in
Portland the day after. So rather than fly to Sacramento as a stopover and
allow the coaches and players to spend time with their families or friends,
the team was kept in Phoenix for a practice. In the end, the practice was
changed to optional.
去年球季,球队在节日前一天面对太阳,而节日後一天面对波特兰。球队不是飞回
Sacramento做个停留让教练和球员们与他们的家人朋友团聚,而是留在凤凰城练习。最後
练习变成是选择性的。
This season's Thanksgiving came a day before the Kings played at Utah, and
some players and staff were miffed because practice was held in Sacramento on
Thanksgiving evening rather than in the morning before the team boarded a
plane that night.
这季的感恩节在国王在犹他的前一天,一些球员和工作人员有点生气,因为练习在感恩节
的晚上而不是早上,那晚球队就要登机了。
Rotation, rotation, rotation – For one game, Natt looked at the box score
and saw near-perfection.
那一场比赛,Natt看着盒子,接近完美。
In the Kings' win over Minnesota on Monday night, 10 players had received at
least 16 minutes of playing time, and eight scored in double figures.
在国王赢灰狼的那个晚上,有十名球员至少上场16分钟,有八名得分双位数。
One night later, as the Kings were blown out by Portland 109-77, the numbers
breakdown wasn't so pretty, with the playing time doled out even more (12
players logged at least eight minutes), but only John Salmons (21 points) and
Francisco García (13 points) hitting double digits in scoring.
後一天,国王被波特兰以109-77击溃,分数并不是很漂亮,上场时间更平均(12个球员至
少上场八分钟),但只有鲑鱼(21分)和Cisco(13分)得分双位数。
Nonetheless, Natt said he likely will stretch the rotation to 10 players on
most nights, whereas Theus often stopped at nine.
不过,Natt说他可能会让轮替最多十人,Theus通常是九人。
"Ideally, nine has been a good rotation for a coach," Natt said. "But when
you're developing guys the way we are, sometimes that stretches into 10 guys,
maybe even 11 guys, until you find out who's on (that night). You have to go
searching."
「理想上,对於教练来说九人已经是个好的轮替,但当你要像我们这样培养球员,有时候
要扩大成十人,甚至11人,直到你找到谁是可以打的,你必须去寻找」Natt说。
He indicated that could mean occasional breaks from the bench for forward
Shelden Williams and guard Quincy Douby, both of whom had been out of the
rotation for some time.
他预告着这代表着Shel和Douby将会有时间,他们有时候都被排除在轮替之外。
"You could put Shelden in the game, and maybe Shelden has an outstanding
ballgame, or Q," Natt said. "I've got confidence in those guys."
「你可能让Shel上场,也许Shel会有场突出的比赛,或者Q也是,我对这些球员有信心」
Defense, anyone? – The Kings' defense has gone from bad to worse no matter
who's coaching the team, as they have given up an average of 108.2 points in
the last 15 games.
国王的防守越来越糟,无论是谁来教,过去15场比赛平均失分108.2。
Natt, who plans to retain the defensive system implemented by fired assistant
Chuck Person, said it simply must be executed more effectively.
Natt还是计划留着之前Person的防守体系,说这样应该会执行地更有效率。
"We had (the system) in Cleveland," said Natt, who was an assistant with the
Cavaliers from 2004 to 2007. "Defensively, I don't see any major changes in
the philosophy itself other than the effort and the way that we approach
things and prepare."
「骑士也是这套系统,防守上,我不想要有任何大的改变」Natt从04到07都是骑士的助教
Practice, Natt said Tuesday, should help with the problem.
练习,应该会对问题有所帮助。
"For example (on Wednesday), we'll work on guarding and defending
pick-and-roll situations more intensely and things we may have to do down the
road," he said.
「举例来说,我们会针对防守PNR,也许这是我们接下来客场必须做的」他说。
