If a team takes on the personality of its coach, what should this team’s
personality be?

Q: 假設教練的個性能夠代表球隊的個性, 那麼尼克隊的個性會是?

A: Discipline ... hard work, because that’s what I’m about ... dedication
... and probably just being a pro, man. I mean, because you play in the NBA
or you play sports professionally, doesn’t mean that you’re a true pro to
the game. To me, that says a lot. That to me divides the teams that win and
the teams that are just happy to be here. And that’s everybody. It starts at
the top, and it trickles down to the coaches, and then the players, the
people that you work with, your PR people ... your trainers, or the doctors
... ’cause it all goes hand in hand, in terms of making sure that the player
is prepared and ready to play. If you don’t do that, to me you’re cheating
the game.

A:有紀律的跟努力工作… 因為我就是這樣子的人..對籃球專心致力,或許還有專業
這個形容詞. 我的意思是, 即使在NBA打球或者參與職業運動,也不表示一個人對比賽(的態
度跟行為)是真正專業的. 對我而言,這些東西很重要. 而且以我的觀點,這些東西也把球隊
分成能贏球的跟只要能打球就很開心的. 這些東西跟NBA裡的所有人都有密切的關聯,從高
層主管到教練,球員,身旁的同事,你的公關,訓練員或是隊醫們. 這能夠確保球員們有足夠
準備來應賽.如果沒有這些,那麼你只是得過且過地騙過每個比賽.

Q: What’s your definition of a pro?

Q: 武僧爸爸對於專業的定義是?

A: Dedication ... commitment ... ’cause if you’re not committed ... I’ve
been there as a player, I’ve been there as a coach ... everybody’s gotta be
on board, man. You need a little luck along the way, but if you’re not
committed, you’re not gonna win. And the teams that win championships, there
’s a little luck involved, but at the end of the day, they’ve done
something right to position themselves to win titles. You look at all the
years that the Celtics and the Lakers, there’s a reason why they won. They
were talented, but from the top to the bottom, they did a lot of right
things, I think, to put themselves in position to win titles.

A:專心致力,還有付出, 如果沒有對打球有付出的話..我曾經是個球員,也是個教練,
大家都必須要同船共濟阿. 在正規賽中小小的好運是需要的,但是如果不付出的話,你是不
會贏球的.而那些得到冠軍的隊伍可不是靠那小小的好運. 到頭來說,他們做了些對的事情
讓自己有權得到冠軍. 看看這些年來的賽爾提克跟湖人隊,他們會贏是有原因的. 他們是
有天份的,但整個球團從上而下,我覺得,所有的人都做了很多對的事情讓隊伍能夠贏得冠軍.

Q: Even though you’re aware that this franchise has not won a championship
since 1973, you came here to win a championship,

Q:即使已經知道尼克自從1973後就沒有得冠軍,你來這裡的目標是贏到冠軍

A: Absolutely. My clock is ticking, man. I’m not getting any younger. I’ve
tasted it as an assistant coach [with the Pistons], man, and it’s hard to
describe, going through something like that. Yeah, we were a little lucky,
and it was a roller-coaster ride, there were a couple of series that year
that we probably shoulda went home. But our players, they just were
determined that, all they had on their mind was winning the title, once we
got into it. That second round with the Nets, you lose a triple-overtime
[game] at home and gotta go back and get Game 6 there to force Game 7 back at
home, that’s tough. And they jump on you 12-2 in Game 6, and you withstand
it to come out of that game and come home and win 7, to me that was our
championship series, before we even got to the Eastern Conference and then
the Finals to beat the Lakers that year.

A: 沒錯, 我剩沒多少時間. 我已經不是以前那個年輕的小夥子了. 我已經嘗過
(在活塞)當助理教練是什麼滋味,那些經歷過的事情很難形容.是的,我們是有些幸運;
那段過程就像坐雲霄飛車一樣. 那一年的季後賽有幾次我們可能是會被淘汰打包回家的.
但是我們的球員在拿到季後賽的門票後下定決心,整個心裡就只有贏得當年的冠軍.
跟籃網的第二輪比賽(在主場),我們打到延長賽卻仍以3分落敗.之後奮戰到第6場比賽好
讓我們能夠在主場打第7場比賽. 真的很艱難. 在第6戰的時候,雖然對方跳到你頭上拿了
12分(相較於我們的2分), 我們還是抵擋下來,回到主場在第7戰贏得比賽. 在我們搶東區
龍頭到後來走到最後打敗湖人之前,這一輪比賽,對我而言,就好似奪冠之戰一樣刺激重要.

Q: Do you show these guys your championship ring?

Q: 你曾給大朋友/小屁孩們看過你的冠軍戒嗎?

A: Yeah, I have it here with me.

A: 他們看過. 我現在有攜帶冠軍戒呢.

Q: Do you sometimes break it out?

Q:聽說你有的時候會對隊員”進行開導”(OS:其實是發飆)?

A: Yeah

A: 對

Q: When would you do that?

Q:那是什麼時候?

A: During the playoffs.

A: 季後賽的時候.

Q: You did it last year during the playoffs?

Q:去年季後賽你也開導了隊員?

A: Absolutely. Me and Tyson [Chandler] both. Now you have [Jason] Kidd this
year, he could break his out with us, yes (smile).

A: 沒錯,我跟拳王一起”教誨"大家.而今年老基也會加入我們. 是的,你沒聽錯,他也是開
導教師之一. (武僧微笑)

Q: Have you noticed a change in commitment from a year ago to now?

Q:你有無注意到,跟一年前相比,隊員現在對打球的付出程度有所改變?

A: Yes. And a lot of that is the players that we filled in this summer to be
on our ball club. We brought in some veteran guys that, their clock is
ticking, too. I forgot to mention Rasheed Wallace is on this team, he has a
ring, too. A lot of those veteran guys — a few of ’em — haven’t had an
opportunity to win a title. Like Marcus Camby ... Raymond Felton, [Carmelo
Anthony], Amar’e [Stoudemire] ... they haven’t tasted an NBA title. So, we
were able to assemble guys that we thought could come in here and help us,
didn’t have to worry about playing big minutes, but be a positive piece to
our puzzle. And I think that’s been the difference so far this early season
is the fact that we have veteran guys that are hungry ... that really believe
that this team, if we stay healthy and we stay together that we got a
legitimate shot.

A: 我注意到了,而很多的改變則是來自我們在夏天所請來的球員.這些老將的時間
也所剩無幾了.我忘記提到阿北西蛙了,他也有冠軍戒. 很多老將—少數幾個—還沒有贏到
戒指. 像是坎比,肥頓,瓜瓜,阿罵, 他們都還沒有嘗到NBA總冠軍的滋味. 因為這樣,我們
才能夠請來這些能夠幫助我們,不擔心下場打球時間多寡,對球隊有正面作用的球員. 而我
認為, 讓球隊在剛開季時便有所不同的原因就是這些老將, 他們對於奪勝的渴望,由衷的
相信如果我們保持健康,有團隊精神,贏得冠軍是處手可及的.

Q: How do you get a team to believe?

Q:你是如何讓整個隊伍相信你所倡導的這些東西?

A: First you gotta trust one another, and that was a big theme when we
started camp. The only way you’re gonna be a team — and it’s gotta be team
and win. That’s all I think about —team, win. And how that happens, you
gotta trust one another and you gotta be committed.

A. 第一,你要讓他們彼此相信.而這也是訓練營裡的重點: 如果你想要在這個隊伍
打球,團隊跟贏球是你所要相信的. 而這也是我的信念,團隊跟贏球.而要如何贏球跟做好
團隊組織就必須要倚賴 相信彼此 跟 對打球付出心力.

Q: What would Red Holzman say about this team?

Q: Red Holzman 會如何評論尼克這支團隊?

A: He would love this team, because there’s enough talent on this team and
enough smart, intelligent players on this team that he’d be licking his
chops to coach this team ’cause he’s a great coach. I gotta think that he
would get the most out of these guys that he can get because of the talent
and the I.Q. factor in terms of the game,

A.他會愛上這個團隊的,因為這裡有天賦的人跟聰明的球員足夠到能讓這位好教練
摩拳擦掌的想來執教呢. 我認為運動本身的天份以及IQ分子, 他會把大家的使用說明,
秘密武器全找出來.

Q: What would Bobby Knight say about this team?

Q: 那Bobby Knight又會如何評論?

A: Same thing.

A:他也會做同樣的評論吧
