Dallas Mavericks fire Avery Johnson http://tinyurl.com/64kfv4 The Dallas Morning News / By EDDIE SEFKO Less than two years after coaching the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals, Avery Johnson was fired on Wednesday. 不到两年前曾经带领小牛打进总冠军赛的Avery Johnson，在星期三被炒了。 Three playoff disappointments, coupled with a slow drift apart from his players and owner Mark Cuban, led to the end of his three-plus-year tenure with the Mavericks. 三个令人失望的季後赛，渐渐地跟队员们与老板Mark Cuban貌合神离，让他还有三年多 的小牛总教练生涯划下句点。 Johnson told 103.3 FM ESPN that he held no animosity toward the Mavericks for relieving him of the final three years of his contract. Johnson在103.3FM ESPN的节目上说他并不会因为小牛将他解雇而怨恨小牛。 "More than anything, I knew that after this year we were probably going in a different direction," Johnson said. "It's probably just something that needed to be done. It's not a separation or split or situation where I've been removed from head coaching duties that is a bitter situation. It's nothing like this. 「这比什麽都还重要，我知道今年我们可能会各分东西，」Johnson说。「这也许只是 某些该做的事情而已。这不是离别或是一刀两断或是那种被拔掉总教练的难堪情况。 不是那样的。」 "This was something that needed to happen. It happened. We're all going to go our separate ways. There's no animosity, no bitterness, nothing. We all still really care about each other. It was just time to go in a different direction." 「这只是某些会发生的事情而已。它发生了。我们就各分东西。没有怨怼，没有痛苦。 什麽都没有。我们仍会关心彼此，这只是我们该分开的时刻了。」 Johnson was in The Woodlands with his family, tending to a family emergency. He's scheduled to speak to media members Thursday in Dallas. Johnson在The Woodlands陪着家人，就像家庭的紧急情况一样。他预计周四在 Dallas开个记者会。 Johnson, who took over the Mavericks' coaching job with 18 games left in the 2004-05 season, was the subject of strong speculation late in the regular season and during the first-round playoff loss to New Orleans that the Hornets finished off Tuesday. 0405赛季最後18场例行赛接手小牛总教练位子的Johnson，在本例行赛尾声与 第一轮季後赛输给黄蜂的时刻成为了各方强力猜测的焦点。 Several curious comments and actions preceded Johnson's dismissal. He had a loud outburst with Cuban after a game in March, a confrontation that was audible to staff members throughout the Mavericks' offices. 有一些不寻常的评论与动作导至了Johnson的离去。在三月的某场比赛後跟Cuban 大吵了一架，吵架的声音大到连小牛办公室的每个职员都听的见。 Early in the playoffs, Johnson took full responsibility for his team's missed free throws and other physical errors. Clearly, that was a thinly veiled criticism of the players. 在季後赛一开始，Johnson承担起球员们罚球率不佳与场上失误的所有责任。很明显的， 那是对球员们小小的微词。 Then, on Monday, after Johnson canceled a practice, the players decided to practice on their own, which angered Johnson. 之後在周一，Johnson取消练习，而球员们却自行练球，这让Johnson十分火大。 On Wednesday, players cleaned out their lockers and voiced their support for Johnson, while also bracing for what certainly will be other sweeping changes in the locker room. 周三，球员们打包了他们在休息室里的东西，并且发表对Johnson的支持，正好说明 了休息室中即将引爆的人事大地震。 "It really hasn't sunk in yet," Jason Terry said. "He's been our leader. He's the one who made this whole thing go. Without him, we're pretty much searching. He took this franchise beyond where it's been." 「这并不是什麽无可救药的事情，」Jason Terry说。「他曾是我们的头头，他是造就 小牛的人。没有他，我们可能还在摸索。他曾把小牛带到过去不曾有过的境界。」 Johnson had a 194-70 (.735 percentage) during the regular season. The Mavericks were 23-24 in the playoffs under his watch. Johnson在例行赛的战绩是194胜70败（胜率73.5％）。而季後赛的战绩是23胜24败。 Johnson was named coach of the year in 2006 and took the Mavericks to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. The Mavericks went up 2-0 before Miami won four straight to take the series. Johnson在2006年第一次带领小牛打入总冠军战的时候当选了年度最佳教练。小牛在总冠军战 领先了两场，之後四连败，迈阿密封王。 In 2007, the Mavericks became the first No. 1 seed to lose in the first round of the playoffs in the best-of-seven format. Dallas had won a franchise-record 67 games before being eliminated by Golden State last spring. 在2007年，小牛成为西区第一种子，却在季後赛第一轮淘汰。去年春天小牛赢得队史 纪录的67胜，却被勇士淘汰出局。 Those playoff heartbreaks, in addition to the disappointment against New Orleans, led to Johnson's dismissal. 这些令人心碎的季後赛，外加今年输给纽澳良，导致了Johnson的离去。 ---------------------------- 翻得不好请见量，这篇新闻还有影音连结，可以看看球员们的意见。 好聚好散吧！祝福Avery Johnson仍能在NBA中找到自己的一片天空！ --
