球隊展望

Have athletes to play fast?  是否有打算打快速球風 ? 

Without question. One thing about playing fast, you don't need
a point guard that's fast, you need a point guard that can push
it off the dribble and pass ahead. I'm going to challenge our
team to run.

毋庸置疑，我會讓球隊打快，打快不需要一個速度非常快的PG，
而是需要能運球推進並向前傳導。

When I say I want to pick up the tempo, it does't mean we're
going to lead the league in pace of game or possessions per game.
What I want is to get the ball across halfcourt in 2 or 3 seconds,
that gives us a few more seconds to play in the halfcourt. That
doesn't mean I'm calling plays but I want the ball moving.

我並沒有要打出領先聯盟的快節奏球風。 是希望在兩到三秒就過
半場，讓我們有多幾秒的時間打半場進攻。 但也不是意謂著戰術，
是希望保持球的流動。

We may pass ahead to a wing, he doesn't have anything, he trusts
the weakside, the ball goes to him, he makes a play and another
guy gets a shot. Our pace of play may be three or four passes,
it's not going to be one pass, one shot. It's everybody getting
involved in the offense early. If a shot is there, great, if
it's not, we trust each other that we'll find a great shot.

可能是推進給側翼，他發起一個play，相信弱邊，然後另一個球員
得到得分機會。我們的進攻節奏會約三至四次傳導，不會是傳一次
，接著就投籃。每個人都會參與早期進攻，如果有好的機會就把握
，沒有的話，也能相信彼此，找出另一個好的投籃機會。


Identity defensively  防守特性 ? 

NBA defense, basketball defensively in general, we need to
get back in transition. Limiting easy baskets in transition.
Our pick-and-roll coverage -- we'll show on most pick-and-rolls,
cover the paint.

一般來說，NBA的防守在於攻守轉換的回防，減少對方輕鬆得分的機會
。還有 P&R 的掩護。 我們主要會展現在 P&R 這部份，保護禁區。

One of the things I've changed over the years as a coach, my
last four years in Dallas we improved every year defensively.
The concepts we had that we instilled in Dallas, I'm going to
bring those to Portland.

身為教練，我過去幾年在達拉斯小牛不斷地改善防守。這些曾在達拉斯
貫輸的觀念，我會將它帶進波特蘭。


Our pick-and-roll coverage, protecting the paint, limiting
switching, just being solid, eliminating excuses, eliminating
confusion, there are going to be nights where we need to make
adjustments. We're going to have our core beliefs, our core
philosophy, how we want to handle situations, and then we'll
make changes depending on personnel, if a team is attacking it
well that night. I'm a firm believer, in the first week of
training camp, that's for putting in our core foundation
defensively. Pick-and-rolls, pindowns, post-ups, transition, one-
on-one, where we are sending the ball, all those things, so as
the season goes on we'll have that base.

P&R的掩護，保護禁區，限制換位，團結一致，排除藉口與慌亂。
隨著日子會有許多調整，擁有屬於我們隊伍的核心信念與價值，
及如何掌握情勢，隨著對方的進攻狀況作出改變。

我有堅定的信念，第一周的訓練營要打下防守的核心基礎，P&R，
壓迫，低位，攻守交換，一對一，球的傳輸，所有的事都會隨著
球季的進行有個基礎。


Expect team to fight for playoff spot? 期許隊伍打入季後賽 ?

No question. Everyone on the roster, our coaching staff,
this is Day One, and we're looking to compete for a playoff
spot. the wins take care of themselves. I think it would be
foolhardy that, no we're not going to compete for a playoff
spot. That goes against the nature of any competitor.

毫無疑問，所有的球員以及教練團，從第一天開始就是為了季後
賽席次努力。說出''喔不，我們並沒有打進季後賽的打算''這種話，
並不符合競爭者的本性。


What to say to people who see young roster and
think this will be a struggle?

人們並不看好這支年輕的球隊，覺得會遇上許多困境，對此的看法 ? 


I don't think true fans expecting disappointment, I'm an optimistic guy. I
don't go into any season expecting disappointment. I don't think that's a
good way to go through life.

我不認為真正的球迷會覺得失望，我是個正面思考的人，不覺得
悲觀的想法對人生有幫助。

This league is a struggle. I've been on 60 win teams and we had blow-ups.
There's always moments in the season that are struggling, depending on how
the season goes. Like I said earlier, as long as this team competes and comes
out every night, I think the fans will enjoy, whether we win or lose .

聯盟本就充滿困境，我曾身處在60勝的隊伍，最後一樣搞砸了。
隨著球季進行，本就會有各式各樣的難題，就像我剛說的，只要
球隊保有競爭意識並進步，不管贏或輸，我相信球迷都會很享受。



球員展望

Vision for using LaMarcus? 對於LMA的角色期許 ?

I want him to continue to do all the things that's
gotten him to the position he's gotten to now.
What I would like to do is have him expand his game,
put him at the free throw line area a little bit more,
so double teams are a little bit more difficult to get
to him. I'd like to get him going to the basket a little bit
more. Get him at the free throw line, that opens up
driving opportunities and positions to get fouled.

我希望能持續發揮他本來的能力。除此之外我會讓他多待在罰球
線附近，減少被包夾，並增加切入攻擊籃框及製造犯規的機會。


LaMarcus Aldridge / Dirk Nowitzki  LMA與Dirk ?

Dirk went through a growth. When they lost to the Golden State
Warriors in the first round and [Don Nelson] had a double
team scheme that he hadn't seen, Dirk loved from that and
got better. That's something that LaMarcus will go through as
well. We're going to put him in different spots, there will
be scouting reports, they will make adjustments to that,
but I really don't want to limit any of my players as far as
what they can do. It's up to me to find ways to put them
in positions where they can succeed.

在遇上勇士黑八那年，Dirk遇上Don Nelson使出他從未見過的包夾招術，
而他也從中有所成長。這是LMA接下來也有可能會經歷的。
我們會依LMA的可能做出不同嘗試，並從中改進。但我並不想限制他本來
就能做到的事，重要的是如何找出讓他能力最大化的方式。


Damian Lillard ?   中興少主 ?

He'll have some bumps along the way but he's going to have
the ball in his hands a lot. He's going to have a lot of
decisions to make. He's going to grow as a player throughout
the season. My expectation is that he's going to be very good
opening night and he's going to continue to get better.

他會遇上一些難題，但他會有很多的球權，要下很多的決定。隨著球
季進行他會跟著成長。我期待他會有場亮眼的開幕戰並持續進步。

He knows he needs to score the ball for us but he needs to
run the team. I know two former Oakland players, Gary Payton
and Jason Kidd, he's looked up to them. I was fortunate to coach
both of those guys. I think he understands the balance of what it
takes to be a great point guard. That's what he's striving to be.

他知道他需要得分並運作球隊。他的目標是向Payton及Kidd看齊。
我想他很了解要成為偉大PG所必須付出的努力，這也是他奮鬥的目標。

Areas for Nicolas Batum to improve  Batum的進步空間

If we can get him more easy baskets by running and filling the
lane, he's a terrific cutter, he'll play some 2 and 3, being an
effective pick-and-roll player is going to be important. I need
him to be an effective pick-and-roll player because that opens
up options.

會讓他有發揮本身絕加的空手切能力，我需要他成為能善用P&R的球員。
以創造更多機會。

Now the ball is in his hands, he can find other players.
He's a willing passer. I'd like for him to evolve as a play-maker.
A play-maker can be in transition, in the pick-and-roll, it can be
the post-up.

他有很好的傳球意識，我希望發展他playmaker的能力，不管在攻守交換
，P&R，或是低位時，都可以發揮。


Nolan Smith: point guard or off guard?  Nolan要打PG或雙能衛 ?

I can see playing him together with Ronnie or with Damian.
I like when we had J.J. Barea and Jason Terry in the backcourt
that can be very effective. I think he's a good defender.I think
he's versatile where he can play one or two.

Nolan能和Price或是Lillard一起上場，就像Barea和Terry一樣，會是
個有效率的組合。他有不錯的防守能力，我想不管一或二號他都可以打。


Meyers Leonard has shown enough to get heavy minutes?
Leonard是否有能力得到許多上場時間 ?

Whatever the definition of heavy minutes is -- Meyers is going
to be a contributor no question. He's played very well, his
offense is better than I expected. Just like any young player,
he's going to have to learn the nuances of the NBA game.
There's no question that he's a contributor.

不管你對上場時間多寡的定義，他毫無疑問會對球隊有所建樹。
他打得很不錯，進攻比我預期的還要好。但就像其他年輕球員，
他需要學習在NBA比賽的細節。
