Phil Who? Knicks Will Probably Play It Safe For a decade, the Knicks conducted business like a crazed QVC addict with a stack of limitless credit cards — lunging at every shiny object, no matter the price or the consequences. Instant gratification came in the form of Isiah Thomas and Larry Brown, Stephon Marbury and Eddy Curry, Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. If the name could light up a marquee, the Knicks were buying, whatever the cost. Yet suddenly, with the franchise at a crossroads, Madison Square Garden has gone inexplicably conservative. Sometime soon (possibly this week), the Knicks are expected to remove Mike Woodson’s interim title and make him the permanent head coach. 在尼克赛季结束之後，敲定下赛季主教练人选的任务正式摆上了日程。 据透露，可能不久之後（或许就在这个星期），尼克将把临时主教练迈 克-伍德森扶正。 They will do so without making a single bid for the shiniest object on the market: Phil Jackson, with his 11 sparkly championship rings. 如果做出这个举动，那就意味着：尼克放弃了候选者菲尔-杰克逊(禅师) ，这位拥有11枚总冠军戒指的着名教头。 The Knicks had not contacted Jackson as of last week, according to people close to the Hall of Fame coach. There is no guarantee that he would take the job, but “he would listen,” one said. 直到上个星期，尼克迟迟未和“禅师”杰克逊接触。一位消息人士称，杰 克逊也不一定会接受这份工作，不过「他会听取报价」。 Yet James L. Dolan, the Garden chairman, apparently does not intend to call. He has already begun preliminary talks with Woodson on a multiyear extension, according to people with ties to the Garden. 是的，尼克老板詹姆斯-杜兰看上去并不准备向禅师提交报价。据尼克内部 人士透露，杜兰已经和伍德森就续约问题进行了初步的谈判。 Woodson, a passionate teacher and motivator, is a perfectly reasonable choice. 作为一名有热情的导师，伍德森有理由获得这一职位。 The Knicks rallied under his leadership, going 18-6 to finish the season before getting crushed by the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs. He has the strong support of Anthony, Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler, the Knicks’ three stars. 在伍德森的带领下，尼克以18胜6负的出色战绩结束了例行赛，他个人也获 得了尼克“三巨头”——甜瓜、拳王和阿骂的强烈支持。 He has a solid résumé, having previously molded a young and impetuous Atlanta Hawks roster into a stout playoff team. He is well liked and respected around the league. No one will fault the Knicks for hiring him. Woodson is the safe, conventional choice. Jackson, though infinitely more successful, might be the riskier option, which could explain Dolan’s sudden conservative streak. Jackson is an iconoclast, a force of nature who marches to the beat of his own bongos. He would clash spectacularly with the Garden’s staid corporate culture, which is reason enough for Dolan to hesitate and for Jackson (if he were offered the job) to balk. Jackson can be brutally candid, a trait that is frowned upon at the Garden, where “see no evil, speak no evil” is official policy. On any given day, Jackson might publicly upbraid his players, needle opponents, insult a city or tweak the commissioner’s office. He would violate the Garden’s infamous news media rules within 32 seconds of his first news conference. He would eventually write a book exposing the internal politics and hypocrisy. And Jackson would learn, as Donnie Walsh did, that promises of autonomy — whether in choosing personnel or choosing what to say — will ultimately ring hollow. 相比於“禅师”，伍德森是一个更加安全、方便的选择。杰克逊可能更加 “残忍”，可能会在当选之後某天於媒体面前公开指责手下的球员们。不 过，杰克逊即便是在主教练位置，他在人员选择以及情绪表达方面可能也 颇受限制，这一点唐尼 -沃尔什深有体会，毕竟生杀大权是在老板杜兰手 中。 There will apparently be no such tension with Woodson. He withheld any criticism of his players throughout the five-game thrashing by the Heat. On Thursday, when asked his parting message to the players, Woodson responded as if reading from an MSG employee manual. “Nothing negative,” he said. “It’ s all positive.” 伍德森可能更加“友善”。在和热火的五场比赛中，尼克球员们犯下的错 误，全部被伍德森揽下来； 近一次记者问 Woodson 给球员们本季的的最 终评语或者是临别一语 (parting message) Woodson 好像读着MSG员工手 册一般回答:「...一切都很正面，没有负面的。」 That same day, word leaked that Woodson had fired his longtime agent — at Dolan’s urging. The agent, Joe Glass, also represents Brown, who won an $18.5 million settlement after Dolan fired him in 2006. Keith Glass, the agent’s son, who has worked with his father in representing Brown and Woodson, was stunned. “I received a phone call from him, basically saying that he had to make a change,” Keith Glass said, adding: “Mike deserves the job. I’m trying to take the high road here. And I certainly won’t be asking anyone at the Garden for directions.” 同一天，伍德森解雇了自己长期以来的经纪人——在杜兰的怂恿之下。这位 经纪人乔-格拉斯还曾代理过布朗。基什-格拉斯是乔-格拉斯的儿子， 和父 亲一起作为布朗和伍德森的代理人，听闻这个消息後震惊不已。「我接到了 来自伍德森的电话，他告诉我想要做出改变了。」基什说，「迈克（伍德森 ）称得上这份工作。」 Although Woodson has yet to hire a new agent, word is already circulating that he will choose Creative Artists Agency, the same group that represents two team executives (Mark Warkentien and Allan Houston), as well as Anthony. It is hard to imagine anyone telling Jackson who should represent him. It is hard to imagine Jackson being told what to do, period. That strong will and outsize personality are precisely what the Knicks need right now. 很难想像杰克逊会让别人来帮他选择经纪人，很难想像杰克逊会听从别人的 意见。这种强烈的自我意识和外露的个性，正是尼克所需的。 Michael Jordan was once a swaggering, single-minded scorer like Anthony. Jackson persuaded him to embrace a team-oriented game, and the Chicago Bulls won six championships. Jackson coaxed Kobe Bryant, another headstrong star, into trusting his teammates. They won five titles together in Los Angeles. 麦可乔丹也曾是自我意识严重的球星，如今的甜瓜也是如此，杰克逊说服乔 丹成为一名团队球员，公牛拿到了六届冠军；科比 -布莱恩特同样如此，杰 克逊改造了他，并帮助湖人拿到了五届冠军。 Anthony, who had more turnovers (14) than assists (11) in the playoffs, is overdue for an epiphany. And no one manages egos better than Jackson. 甜瓜在季後赛中的失误次数（14次）多於助攻（11次），看上去和初期的乔 丹以及科比类似。在调整球员的心理方面，没有人能比“禅师”做得更好了 。 There is near-universal agreement around the N.B.A. that Anthony needs to become a more dedicated passer, but no one around the Knicks will say so. Woodson made his mark by demanding accountability, and he forged the Knicks into a superior defensive team. But he never imposed the same standards on offense, as Anthony, J. R. Smith and Baron Davis were permitted to dominate the ball, burn the shot clock and fling contested jumpers — sometimes from 28 feet — without consequence. 伍德森能将尼克变成防守强队，但是在进攻端，他难以做到同样的事情：甜 瓜、JR和BD分走了球权，耗完进攻时间，并持续不停地使用跳投进攻——有 时候就在三分线附近。 Lacking job security, Woodson let Anthony indulge his worst habits. He withheld public criticism after Stoudemire recklessly smashed a fire-extinguisher door, slicing open his hand. He called out Smith for his sagging pants but never for his shot selection, which was abominable. With a contract in hand, perhaps Woodson will tighten the reins and demand more from his stars. With the luxury of a training camp, perhaps he will find a way to blend Stoudemire’s and Anthony’s talents. He has earned the opportunity to try. 为了保住工作，伍德森由着甜瓜暴露最糟糕的习惯。当合约到手後，伍德森 可能“拉紧缰绳”，对球队中的球星们要求更加严格。 Meanwhile, an unemployed coach with 11 championship rings, a crate of incense and a fondness for Zen teachings is relaxing in Playa Del Rey, waiting for the phone to ring. Or not. 原文新闻：http://ppt.cc/i0ph 翻译来源：http://sports.163.com/12/0513/08/81CF810T00051CA1.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 真正的考验，合约到手後才开始？！ XD 话说在尼克想要拿到先发位置，好像真的不是看教练，而是看杜兰 连教练的经纪人选择也要看杜兰... 尼克教练真不是普通的难当... 武僧OS：想要先发别找我，要看暑假过後老板开给你多少价 (误XD 另外我真的觉得武僧对尼克球员有一种爱的教育的感觉 1.当初五连胜之後的那一败，武僧一肩扛，说尼克没能拿下这一胜是他的问题 2.当瓜被质疑高得分始终让尼克赢不了球时，武僧说不是瓜的问题，是 没人能适时跳出来和瓜一起得分，所以不可以怪瓜 (印象中大致是这意思) 3.阿骂季後赛做了傻事受伤後，武僧请球迷原谅阿骂，别嘘阿骂... 4.另外还有场上的JR做错事，武僧看起来都很凶的指责，但还是不吝惜给予重任 XD http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2012/05/13/sports/YBECK.html 只是顽皮的小孩需要爱的教育，乖小孩也是需要爱的教育的喔，希 望武僧可以平均分配 XD 纽约是个不留情又残忍的地方，难怪球员 们待越久好像越需要爱一样 XD (因为被骂是一件习以为常的事？) 只是这样的包容和爱的教育也不知是好是坏，可能要等待下赛季武 僧帮大家解答了 XD 我想不OK的话，杜兰应该也不会留情的 XD -- ∥ ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ●/ \● ●23︽ SS ∕0S ＜９＞ ∥ Ι﹨◤ ◥ ＿ ◤ ◥ ∥ ８ ◤︽21 ◢◤\ ◣ /●\ ● ● ∥ ●╱ ∥◤●◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥＜╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼ ﹨● ●\●∥◆◇ ● ∥＜９ ∥∥◣∥ ●/ ∥╱ ∥◣● ─-.╳ ︶- ● 44 ● <２ 17∥ ╲７>∥ ∥∥ ∥ 16 ∥ ╲ <20◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲ ∞ <85 ∥ ∥∥ /| ∥ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣∥╱∥ ╲╲/|◢∥ ◥ | ◢ ∥ ∥ |/ --
