http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/1608339.html There was no grace period, no time to mull over the reality of being a retired athlete and slowly transition into life as an NBA coach. 没有优雅的结束，没有时间让你慢慢从退休的运动员转变成NBA教练。 There was the Sept. 23 announcement that Shareef Abdur-Rahim's problematic right knee would end his 12-year career, and the immediate decision that he would join the Kings' coaching staff. The culture shock of being a coach was an adjustment for Abdur-Rahim on its own, but changing sides on the team for which he had just played for the past three seasons made it even more unique. SAR因为右膝的伤而在9月23宣布结束他12牛的生涯，而且立即决定他将加入国王的教练团 And so it surprised no one that there would be a professional identity crisis, one that eventually cleared up early in training camp. Former teammate Francisco García and longtime colleague Bobby Jackson were talking to him like he was still one of their own during a training session, and Abdur-Rahim decided it just had to be different if this was going to work. Cisco和Bobby之前和他讲话时彷佛他仍然是球员，而SAR决定应该要有些不同，如果要这样 下去的话。 "They pushed him," Kings assistant Randy Brown said. "The guys had their smart comments and were teasing Reef, in a sense, and I knew that was going to happen. But Reef did the right thing 「他们推他，他们会逗他，而我知道这一定会发生，但Reef做了对的事」Randy Brown说 "It was one day where he said, 'Hey, I'm a coach. Don't call me "Reef" anymore. It's Coach Reef.' It was funny to us, but that's the day I thought everybody started taking him seriously." 「有一天他说，hey，我是教练。所以不要再叫我「Reef」。而是Reef教练」。这逗笑我们 了，但自从这一天我想每个人都开始正视他。 When Abdur-Rahim's new life with the Kings began, he was simply thrilled they would take him at all. His retirement could be seen coming for some time, with two arthroscopic surgeries in a six-month span leading up to it, and anyone who saw him with mountains of ice on both his knees so often knew he wouldn't likely return to the floor. But the pain wasn't merely physical. Abdur-Rahim agonized about the fact that he would fulfill just three years of his five-year contract with the Kings – two of those in which he was productive. 他的退休早就有徵兆，六个月内开了两次arthroscopic手术，每个人常常看到他膝盖上的 冰山，都知道他可能不会回到场上了。但伤痛并不仅是生理的。SAR很挣扎，他和国王的 五年约只打了三年。 If he was to retire because of injury, he was hoping that his post-playing days would include basketball. If not for him, then for his 6-year-old son, Jabri. 假若他因伤退休，他希望他之後还可以做篮球相关工作。如果不是为了他，就是为了他六 岁大的儿子，Jabri。 "When I told (Jabri) that I wasn't playing anymore, he took it the hardest out of everybody," said Abdur-Rahim, who also has a daughter, Samiyah. "It crushed him. He took it so hard. Harder than me, probably. It crushed him. 「当我告诉他说我不再打球了，他比任何人都还要难过，这击溃了他，他真的很难过，也 许比我还难过」SAR说 "The (good news) was, 'Well, I'm going to be a coach, so we can still go to the games and we can still be with the Kings.' That was the silver lining." 「好消息是，我将要成为一位教练，所以我们仍然可以去看比赛，而且我们仍然和国王在 一起，这是不幸中的大幸」 Abdur-Rahim's main responsibility is to work with the team's young big men. He spends extra time before and after practices with second-year center Spencer Hawes and rookie forward Jason Thompson, sharing the post moves and insight that helped him average 18.1 points and 7.5 rebounds in his career. SAR主要责任就是训练队中年轻大个，他花额外的时间和Hawes与小汤分享低位移动和视野 ，而这帮助他生涯平均得分18.1和7.5篮板。 But as the season has grown longer, so has his to-do list. He has become a poor man's Todd Purves, the Kings' video coordinator who – with assistant video coordinator Tom Bialaszewski – has trained Abdur-Rahim in the technical art of splicing video of individual player performances for training purposes. And while his role is more specialized than the rest of the coaching staff, Abdur-Rahim takes part in all of the coach's planning meetings. 但随着球季进行，有更多他该做的事。两位国王统筹video的人，教导SAR剪接每位球员 的video。而他的角色比其他的教练团成员更特殊，SAR参与所有教练的会议。 "When we're talking defensive strategies and offensive things, I like him to be in our meetings," Kings coach Kenny Natt said. "I like the coaches to all be in the meetings giving their input, so you can say, 'Reef, what do you think?' And then (have him) share his insight. That's his growth as a coach, and I'm trying to give him a voice and we're all in this thing together. 「当我们正在谈论攻守，我喜欢他和我们一起开会，我喜欢所有开会的教练都有贡献， 所以你会说「Reef，你觉得呢？」然後他就会分享他的看法。他已经成长为一名教练， 而我正试着让他发言，而我们是一夥的」 "He's been a huge help. It's his impact working with the guys, and their rapport with him, the way that he communicates with them from the standpoint of being in our meeting and knowing our thoughts and feelings about them and then he's translating that to those guys. It's big." 「他帮了很大的忙，球员和他感情很好，他会将我们开会所提到关於他们的想法和感觉转 达给他们知道，这很有帮助」 Abdur-Rahim has gravitated to Brown more than the other assistants in part because of their similar stories. When Brown's 12-year career came to an end in Chicago, he joined the coaching staff of then-Bulls coach Scott Skiles. But Brown said he wasn't ready for the transition from player to assistant coach, and he resigned less than a month into the switch. It was a regrettable moment for Brown, who aspires to become a head coach one day. SAR比其他其他助理教练更吸引Brown，因为他们类似的故事。当Brown在公牛结束他的12 年生涯，他就加入当时公牛教练Scott的教练团，但Brown说他还没准备好从球员转成助理 教练，而他在不到一个月就重签。这对於Brown而言是悔恨的一刻，他之後就向往有一天 能够成为总教练。 "Here comes Reef doing the same thing I did, (but) you could tell he was kind of on the fence as to whether he was going to be a coach or a player," said Brown, who restarted his coaching career for Reggie Theus last season. "I told him it was going to be a tough transition for him. The hours are different. You can no longer think like a player. You 100 percent have to think like a coach and can't think like a player anymore … . 「Reef现在就像我那时候所做的事情一样，你可能告诉他当教练或球员所会遭遇到的问题 ，我告诉他这对他而言将会是个困难的转变，每一分每一秒都不一样。你不能再像球员一 样，你必须完全像个教练一样思考，而不再是像个球员」 "I told him the most important thing is that if he really wanted to coach, he had to get the players' respect. If he came out and was professional and acted like a coach every day, they'd respect him. And I think in this short time, he has earned that from the guys." 「我告诉他如果他真的想要教球最重要的东西是，他必须获得球员们的尊重。假若他是专 业的，每天就像个教练，他们就会尊重他。而我认为在这短暂的时间，他已经从那些人获 得了」。 Although Abdur-Rahim said he wants to remain in the NBA in some capacity, he's unsure if he will pursue a coaching job next season. But at least for now he finally feels like a coach. Even if he continues to get ribbed. 虽然SAR说他想要留在NBA，他还不确定下季是否会教球。但至少他现在感觉像个教练。甚 至就算他持续被嘲笑。 Veterans from opposing teams do double-takes when they see Abdur-Rahim on the Kings' bench, surprised to learn that he has joined the coaching ranks. And considering his player salary of $12.8 million combined for this season and next was covered by insurance because of his injuries and he is also being paid a one-year coaching deal, his coaching colleagues like to point out that he could be the highest-paid assistant in league history. 当敌队的老将在国王的板凳席看到SAR时一再做确认，他们很惊讶得知他已经加入教练团 而且他这两季的薪资都将由保险出，还可以拿到一年的教练薪水，他的同事们喜欢说 他可能是联盟历史上最高薪的助教。 It's not former teammates poking fun at him, though, and so Abdur-Rahim's standing in the coaching ranks remains. "I don't in any way think I've got it figured out or that I know more than the coaches or anyone else," Abdur-Rahim said. "It's really a learning process for me. I'm thankful for the chance to learn. The season hasn't been so great. But from my perspective, as far as coaches, I couldn't ask to have a better bunch of guys to be around and learn from." 「我并不认为我已经可以理解或我已经比其他的教练懂得更多，这真的是个学习的过程， 我很感激有这个机会可以学习。这球季还没做得很好，但从我的观点，作为一名教练，我 没办法要求比这群人还要更好的人了」 ------------------------------------------------------------------- ×，一直断线，翻译翻到一把火 --
