刚好看到这篇，我自己对了解Sweeney也有兴趣，所以就翻了 下季可能要担任他队总教练的Sean Sweeney，虽然这篇新闻并没有他的访谈，但从总教练 与球员的角度来谈Sean Sweeney。 马刺灰狼系列赛：马刺3：灰狼2 以下新闻请Gemini协助翻译，有稍微看过润稿 https://www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs/article/spurs-defense-sean-sweeney-associate-head-coach-22259108.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral Why Spurs associate head coach Sean Sweeney is the unsung hero of the NBA playoffs 为什麽马刺首席助教 Sean Sweeney 是 NBA 季後赛的无名英雄？ Meet Sweeney, the Minnesota-born former college point guard who has fashioned the NBA's most fearsome defense 来认识这位出生於明尼苏达的前大学控卫，他打造了 NBA 目前最令人恐惧的防守体系 By Jeff McDonald,Staff WriterMay 14, 2026 MINNEAPOLIS — The notebook seems to follow Sean Sweeney everywhere: from Spurs coaches’ meetings, to film sessions, to one-one-one pow-wows with players. 那本笔记本似乎随时随地都跟着 Sean Sweeney：从马刺队的教练会议，到影片分析课， 再到与球员的一对一私下交谈。 During games, the yellow legal pad — secured in a brown leather portfolio — slides under Sweeney’s arm as he stalks the sidelines three steps behind head coach Mitch Johnson. It rests on his lap on the team plane rides. 比赛期间，这本装在褐色皮革资料夹里的黄色法律用纸笔记本（legal pad），就夹在 Sweeney 的腋下；他总是跟在总教练 Mitch Johnson 後方三步距离。在球队专机上，笔 记本则静静地躺在他的膝盖上。 For the Spurs’ associate head coach, that notebook might as well be a vestigial appendage. Its contents, however, remain a well-guarded mystery in Spurs circles. 对於这位马刺队的首席助教来说，那本笔记本简直就像他身体的一部分。然而，笔记本里 的内容在马刺圈子内依然是一个被严密保护的谜。 “I don’t know,” forward Julian Champagnie said. “And honestly and truly, I don’t want to know.” 「我不知道（里面写什麽），」前锋 Julian Champagnie 说。「而且老实说，我真的不 想知道。」 This much is almost certainly true: Whatever secrets are scrawled in Sweeney’ s trusty notebook are a big reason the Spurs are one victory away from returning to the Western Conference finals for the first time in nine years. 但有一件事几乎可以肯定：无论 Sweeney 那本可靠的笔记本里草写了什麽秘密，都是马 刺队现在距离九年来首度重返西区决赛仅剩一场胜利的重要原因。 Renowned NBA-wide as a defensive savant, the 41-year-old Sweeney joined Johnson’s staff last summer after four seasons in Dallas. 现年 41 岁的 Sweeney 在NBA享有防守大师的美誉。在达拉斯效力四个赛季後，他於去年 夏天加入了 Johnson 的教练团。 The results have been as immediate as they are imposing. After posting the league’s fifth-worst defense in 2024-25, the Spurs jumped to third during the recently completed regular season. 成效既迅速且惊人。马刺队在 2024-25 赛季的防守排名全联盟倒数第五，但在刚结束的 例行赛中，他们一跃成为联盟第三。 Heading into Game 6 of the conference semifinals Friday in Minnesota — a series San Antonio leads 3-2 — the Spurs boast the league’s top playoff defense, allowing a paltry 102 points per 100 possessions. 在周五於明尼苏达进行的西区准决赛第六战前（圣安东尼奥目前以 3-2 领先），马刺队 拥全联盟季後赛最佳的防守数据，每百回合仅失 102 分。 How much credit does Sweeney deserve for the Spurs’ stark defensive about-face? Just ask the league’s first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year. Sweeney 应该为马刺这番脱胎换骨的防守表现分得多少功劳？问问联盟首位全票通过的年 度最佳防守球员（DPOY）就知道了。 “All of it,” Victor Wembanyama said. 「全部的功劳，」Victor Wembanyama 说。 The unsung star of the Spurs’ playoff run is a 5-foot-11, carrot-topped Minnesotan who grew up just across the Mississippi River from the Target Center in St. Paul and looks like he might have wandered off the set of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” 这位马刺季後赛征途中的无名球星，是一位身高 5 尺 11 寸、留着红发的明尼苏达人。 他在距离 Target Center 球场仅密西西比河之隔的圣保罗长大，外表看起来平易近人， 甚至像是从怀旧情境喜剧剧组里走出来的人物。 Looks, however, can be deceiving. 然而，外表是会骗人的。 To hear several Spurs tell it, Sweeney is a mad scientist with a steel-trap mind and a sailor’s mouth. 根据几位马刺球员的描述，Sweeney 是个拥有精密大脑和水手般粗鄙口条的疯狂科学家。 “He’ll come to the bench and just start tripping, cursing us out,” Champagnie said with a laugh. “More often than not, he ends up losing his voice — running out of air, because he’s screaming at us so much.” 「他会来到板凳区然後开始抓狂，对着我们狂飙脏话，」Champagnie 笑着说。「通常最 後他的嗓子都会哑掉，因为他对我们吼得太凶了，吼到没气。」 Sweeney has not been made available to the media for interviews, but the Spurs ’ defensive numbers speak for themselves. 虽然 Sweeney 并未接受媒体采访，但马刺队的防守数据已说明了一切。 Entering Friday, the Spurs have played 10 playoff games. They have limited opponents to less than 100 points in half of them. 截至周五，马刺已打了 10 场季後赛，其中有一半的场次将对手得分限制在 100 分以下 。 That has been an unfailing winning formula. Including the regular season, the Spurs are 16-0 when keeping teams below the century mark. 这是一个不败方程式：包括例行赛在内，只要将对手得分压低在百分之内，马刺的战绩 是 16 胜 0 败。 In the conference semifinals, the Spurs’ Sweeney-led defense has unveiled a slew of halfcourt traps against the Timberwolves’ All-Star (albeit hobbled) guard Anthony Edwards that has oft rendered Minnesota’s offense inoperable. 在本系列赛中，Sweeney 领导的防守体系对灰狼明星後卫 Anthony Edwards 施加了大量 的半场包夹陷阱，这往往让明尼苏达的进攻陷入瘫痪。 Granted, the schemes work primarily because the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama is there to close down roughly half the floor at any given time. Still, Spurs players praise Sweeney for getting all of them on the same page. 当然，这些策略之所以奏效，主因是 7 尺 4 寸的 Wembanyama 随时在那里封锁住半个球 场。尽管如此，球员们仍称赞 Sweeney 让大家齐心协力。 “His attention to detail on everything and the way he can explain things to make it make sense for us (is big),” guard Stephon Castle said. “He’s a big reason we’re one of the top defenses in the West.” 「他对细节的专注，以及他解释事情的方式能让我们听得懂，这非常关键，」後卫 Stephon Castle 说。「他是我们能成为西区顶尖防守球队的主因。」 Indeed, Sweeney’s arrival in San Antonio has turned out to be one of the most consequential free-agent acquisitions of the last NBA offseason. Sweeney 加入圣安东尼奥，被证明是去年休赛季 NBA 最具影响力的引援之一。 When the 39-year-old Johnson took over full-time for Gregg Popovich last summer, one of the first items on his to-do list was to put together a staff. The Spurs retained a pair of holdovers from Popovich's bench, Matt Neilsen and Mike Noyes. 当 39 岁的 Johnson 去年夏天接替 Gregg Popovich 担任总教练时，首要任务就是组建 教练团。马刺留用了 Popovich 时期的两位助教 Matt Neilsen 和 Mike Noyes。 Johnson's move from the assistant's room to the head coach's office resulted in one vacancy. Another was created when longtime Popovich aide Brett Brown voluntarily opted to move to the front office in a consulting role. 而随着 Johnson 的升迁以及老臣 Brett Brown 转任管理层顾问，出现了职位空缺。 Johnson ended up adding three new assistants to a super-sized staff — Sweeney; Corliss Williamson, a former NBA player and veteran assistant who coached last season in Minnesota; and Scott King, who had been the head coach of the G League’s Austin Spurs. Johnson 最终为这支庞大的教练团引进了三位新面孔：Sweeney；曾在明尼苏达执教、拥 有球员背景的老将助教 Corliss Williamson；以及原本身为 G 联盟奥斯汀马刺队总教练 的 Scott King。 The notion was not just to check boxes but inject fresh ideas. “To be able to add to that group was really beneficial,” Johnson said, “and Sean has been a big part of that.” 「（组建教练团的）初衷并不只是为了填补职位空缺，而是要注入新鲜的想法」。 Johnson 表示：「能够为这个团队增添新成员真的非常有益，而 Sean（Sweeney）在其中 扮演了举足轻重的角色。」 To attract the highly sought-after Sweeney from Dallas, the Spurs offered a substantial pay bump and the title of associate head coach, a designation that did not exist under Popovich. 为了从达拉斯挖角炙手可热的 Sweeney，马刺提供了大幅加薪，以及在 Popovich 时代从 未出现过的职称：首席助教（associate head coach）。 Johnson did not know Sweeney personally before last summer, but knew of him. Both were former college point guards — Johnson at Stanford and Sweeney at the University of St. Thomas, a private Catholic college in St. Paul. Johnson 在去年夏天前并不认识 Sweeney，但早有耳闻。两人都曾是大学时期的控球後卫 。 “I just took a liking to his ability to articulate his basketball philosophy and what he thought about the game and NBA coaching in general, in terms of competitiveness and how hard you should coach and holding guys accountable,” Johnson said. “But also the modern, creative part and thinking outside the box.” 「我非常欣赏他阐述篮球哲学的能力，包括他对执教 NBA 的看法，以及如何透过竞争心 来要求球员负起责任，」Johnson 说。「同时他也有现代、具创意且跳脱框架思考的一面 。」 Before coming to San Antonio, Sweeney spent eight seasons coaching under Jason Kidd, with stops in Dallas, Milwaukee and Brooklyn. He was an integral part of a staff that guided the Mavericks to a Finals berth in 2024. During that run, Sweeney developed defenses that toppled the Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Spurs’ opponent in the next round should they survive this one. Sweeney 曾跟随 Jason Kidd 八个赛季，并在 2024 年协助独行侠杀入总决赛。在那段旅 程中，他设计的防守先後击败了灰狼队与奥克拉荷马城雷霆队（马刺若晋级，下一轮的对 手正是雷霆）。 “He was always prepared and ready for the moment,” Kidd said. 「他总是准备周全，随时为关键时刻待命」Kidd 说道。 Give Johnson credit for pursuing Sweeney in the first place. Many first-time head coaches might feel threatened by someone of Sweeney’s stature and pedigree swooping in. 「首先，必须归功於 Johnson 当初主动追求 Sweeney 的远见。许多初任总教练的人，可 能会对於 Sweeney 这种具备名望与资历的人空降加入感到威胁。」 Not Johnson. 「但 Johnson 并非如此。」 He understood the benefit of building the best staff he could. With that as the goal, Sweeney’s hire was a no-brainer. 「他明白组建最强教练团所带来的益处。既然以此为目标，聘请 Sweeney 根本是个理所 当然、无需犹豫的决定。」 For a coach like Johnson, who before last month had never coached in an NBA playoff game even as an assistant, Sweeney’s presence has been as reassuring as a favorite blanket. 「对於像 Johnson 这样在一个月前甚至连助教身分都没打过 NBA 季後赛的教练来说， Sweeney 的存在就像一条心爱的毯子一样令人感到安心。」 “I’ve really enjoyed his honesty,” Johnson said. “I’ve enjoyed his competitiveness.” 「我非常欣赏他的诚实」教练Mitch Johnson 说道。「我也很喜欢他的竞争意识。」 Sweeney’s contributions have been schematic, designing defenses for individual games as well as devising in-game adjustments on the fly. 「Sweeney 的贡献主要在於策略层面，包括针对单场比赛设计防守战术，以及在比赛进行 中即时做出调整。」 Often, Sweeney can be found trailing Johnson by a few feet on the sidelines, directing traffic and barking orders. 「在场边，经常可以看到 Sweeney 跟在 Johnson 身後几英尺处，指挥着球员跑位并下达 指令。」 His impact goes beyond Xs and Os. 「他的影响力早已超越了单纯的战术板（Xs and Os）。」 Forward Devin Vassell recalls his first meeting with Sweeney over the summer. The new coach came armed with film from Vassell’s college games at Florida State, demonstrating for the sixth-year pro the defensive player he could still become in the NBA. 他的影响力不仅止於战术板。前锋 Devin Vassell 回忆起夏天与 Sweeney 的第一次见面 。这位新教练带着 Vassell 当年在佛罗里达州立大学时期的影片，向这位效力第六年的 老将证明，他在 NBA 仍能成为顶尖的防守球员。 “He showed me clips of me at Florida State, the old days,” Vassell said. “ Just really emphasizing the defensive end and taking pride in that. He's really just encouraged us to be special on the defensive end.” 「他给我看了我在大学时期的片段，那些老日子，」Vassell 说。「他强调了防守端的重 要性，并要引以为傲。他真的鼓励我们在防守端成为卓越的存在。」 Sweeney knows how to get his point across, players say. Spurs rookie Dylan Harper describes Sweeney as "fiery and funny." 球员们说，Sweeney 知道如何把话讲到心坎里。新秀 Dylan Harper 形容他「火爆又幽默 」。 "He always wants to win," Harper said. "He always wants us to do the right thing. We all understand where he’s coming from when he’s frustrated or upset.” 「他总是想赢，总是希望我们做正确的事。当他感到挫折或生气时，我们都明白那是为什 麽。」 When angered, Sweeney’s face can grow as red as the hair on his head. Players learned quickly what makes Sweeney most unhappy. “When you’re soft, ” Champagnie said. “If we know what we’re supposed to do and just don’t do it, he hates that (stuff).” 当 Sweeney 生气时，他的脸会变得跟他的红发一样红。球员们很快就学会了什麽会让他 不高兴——「当你打得软弱的时候，」Champagnie 说。「如果我们明明知道该怎麽做却 没做到，他最痛恨这种事。」 The deeper the Spurs advance in the playoffs, the higher the likelihood Sweeney is not in San Antonio next season. 随着马刺在季後赛走得越远，Sweeney 明年留在圣安东尼奥的可能性就越低。 An NBA team in search of a head coach is sure to come calling. Sweeney has already been linked to openings in Chicago and Portland. 寻找总教练的球队肯定会找上门，他已经与芝加哥和波特兰的职缺联系在一起。 Spurs players will not be surprised if Sweeney lands one of them. 马刺球员对此不会感到惊讶。 “A lot of defensive coaches end up being head coaches, especially in the NBA, ” guard De’Aaron Fox said. “I think he could do it now.” 「很多防守教练最後都会成为总教练，特别是在 NBA，」後卫 De'Aaron Fox 说。「我认 为他现在就已经准备好了。」 Asked to name the qualities that would make Sweeney a successful NBA head coach, Fox chuckled. 当被问及 Sweeney 具备哪些能成为成功主帅的特质时，Fox 笑了笑说： “He’s definitely crazy enough,” Fox said. 「他绝对够疯狂。」 May 14, 2026 Jeff McDonald Spurs Writer --
