:  Brown credits assistant Kuester as Cavaliers' invigorated offense takes
:  flight

騎士隊教練把騎士隊的充滿活力的進攻歸功於助理教練Kuester。

:  When the Cavaliers went through prolonged offensive slumps over the last few
:  seasons, coach Mike Brown often found himself the target of criticism.
: There was urging from both inside the organization and out for him to consider
: adding a so-called "offensive coordinator" to his staff. It would have
: mirrored a bit of the philosophy Brown was a part of in his previous job,
: when he was the highly successful defensive coordinator for the Indiana Pacers.
: Well, this season Brown has done so. He just didn't exactly tell everyone about
: it.

當騎士隊經歷了幾個低迷進攻的賽季之後，Brown發覺自己經常是受批評的對象。來自內
外的聲音強烈要求他考慮增加一位進攻的調節者到他的團隊裡。他以前在溜馬時一樣是
一位非常成功的防守教練。

本賽季布朗已經這樣做了。他只是沒有確切告訴大家。

: At 19-3, the Cavs possess the best offense in the NBA, in terms of efficiency.
: They rank fourth in scoring at just under 104 points a game, second in field-
: goal shooting at 48 percent and first in victory margin at more than 13 points.

19勝3負的戰績，從效率來看，騎士隊展示了當前NBA最棒的進攻。他們平均得分稍低於
104分，排名全聯盟第四；FG：48%，全聯盟第二；每場比賽平均至少贏13分，全聯盟第
一。

: Much of it can be attributed to the addition of point guard Mo Williams; the
: team previously lacked an accomplished lead guard, which contributed to the
: past trouble. But there's also another factor that has helped despite
: purposely not getting attention -- offensive coordinator John Kuester.

大部分的原因來自於Mo Williams的加盟。騎士隊過去的罩門在於缺乏多才多藝的能夠帶
領騎士們的後衛。但還有一個因素沒被注意到--騎士隊的進攻教練John Kuester。

: In his second season as Brown's assistant, Kuester has taken over much of the
: detail operations of the offense. He has brought some new concepts to what the
: Cavs call their "early" offense, an effort to make them more effective in
: transition  and less bogged down.

第二季擔任Brown的助理教練，Kuester在進攻上獲得很大的權力。他未騎士隊帶來了新的
進攻概念，騎士們稱它為“early" offense，那使他們可以更有效地輪轉並減少陷入困境
。

: It was part of a mini-makeover Brown made to his staff in the off-season. He
: didn't publicly announce it because he didn't want to add any undue pressure to
: his coaches.

Brown在休季期間為他的團隊做了一點小改變。他沒有公開宣布是因為他不想為他的教練
們增加任何不適當的壓力。

: Brown also made assistant Mike Malone his defensive coordinator and
: changed around some in-game roles so veteran Hank Egan is behind the bench
: during  games while assistant Melvin Hunt is on the bench for every game.

Brown也讓Mike Malone擔任他的防守教練，並且改變一些場上的角色：經驗老道的Hank
Egan和Melvin Hunt皆為板凳上的助理教練。

: "You always talk about that it is important for teammates to have trust in one
: another. Coaches have to have trust, too," said Kuester, who has worked in the
: NBA for the last 18 years with six teams and won a championship with the
: Detroit Pistons in 2004.

“大家總是說隊友之間最重要的是互相信任，教練之間也是如此。”Kuester說。他在NBA
工作18年待了6個球隊，並且於2004年在底特律活塞隊贏得一次總冠軍。

: "Mike puts a lot of trust in his players and his coaches."

“Brown 充分相信他的球員與教練群。”

: General Manager Danny Ferry first approached Brown, a defensive specialist
: who has been studying offenses in depth since becoming head coach, about
: offloading some of his offensive duties on an assistant. Ferry is the boss, but
: has always allowed Brown to make all coaching decisions.

經理Ferry第一次找上Brown(一位成為總教練之後，開始深入學習進攻的防守專家)談論有
關進攻責任下放的事情。Ferry是老板，他之前總是允許Brown決定所有的事。

: "At first I said no, and not quite in those words; I was a little harsh," Brown
: said. "You don't like people to tell you what to do sometimes. But Danny
: knows me, he knows he planted the seed and that I'd think about it and make
: an educated  decision."

“一開始我說“不”，沒再說什麼；我有點嚴肅的。”Brown說“你有時候不會喜歡人們
告訴你該怎麼做。但Danny懂我，他知道他灑下種子的將在我心中開花結果。”

: Last summer, Brown asked Kuester to be the summer league coach. With
: three  players from the current roster -- rookies J.J. Hickson, Darnell Jackson
:  and Jawad Williams -- on the team, Kuester started making some adjustments
: to the offensive system. He didn't know it, but he was auditioning for Brown.

暑假，Brown要求Kuester當夏季聯盟的教練，目前的球員名單上當時有J.J. Hickson,
Darnell Jackson 和 Jawad Williamsy在打夏季聯盟。Kuester開始做一些進攻系統上的
調整。他不知道他已經影響了Brown。

: "I watched some of the things he did in summer league and I started thinking
: about it, about how I might define a new role," Brown said. "Then I started to
: get excited about it and now I am thankful I did it."

“我看到一些他在夏季聯盟做的事，而我開始思考我如何重新定位自己的角色。”Brown
說。“接著我開始感到興奮，而我現在很慶幸我這麼做。”

: Kuester designed the foundation for the early offense, which takes advantage
: of Williams being able to handle the ball and LeBron James acting sometimes
: like a power forward. It also gave some new roles to center Zydrunas Ilgauskas,
: who is put in different areas of the floor to create space for others.

Kuester為early offense設計了一些原則，能讓Williams引導整個攻勢並讓LeBron James
有時扮演大前鋒的角色。他也賦予中鋒大Z新的角色：在場上不同的區域利用本身的優勢
，製造隊友們的空檔。

: All of the coaches consult, especially Malone and Hunt. But during timeouts,
: Kuester will now often be in the center of the huddle drawing up plays, with
: Brown behind him. He is in charge of all offensive preparation and is
: responsible  for presenting options to Brown for all possible in-game situations.

所有的教練皆參與協商，尤其是助理教練Malone和Hunt。但在暫停期間站在中心只揮攻勢
的是Kuester，總教練則Brown是在他身後。他主導了所有的進攻準備並對Brown解釋當前
所有可能在比賽中出現的狀況。

: Brown still has the final call and along with James and Williams, calls most
:  of the plays. But his support system has never been stronger.

最後決定權仍在Brown，而James 和 Williams負責去執行。他從擁有如此強大的支持系統
。

: "I think the way Mike operates best is when he's got guys around him he's got
:  confidence in," Malone said. "But Mike is the president, he's got veto power,
: he does what he feels is best."

“我認為Brown將整個團隊運作的很棒當他信任他週遭的人。”Malone說“但Brown還是老
大，他擁有否決權去做他覺得最好的決定。”

: There is no doubt part of the reason why Brown feels he can loosen the reigns
: a bit is because of the success he's enjoyed. With the best winning percentage
: in team history and still fresh off a contract extension, his security is
: strong. But it is also a return to his coaching roots.

毫無疑問，Brown能夠下放一些統治權是因為他的成功。隊史最佳勝率且仍在持續中，他
非常有安全感。但這仍要回溯到他執教的源頭。

: Not only did Rick Carlisle give him large responsibilities as an assistant in
: Indiana, but so did mentors Gregg Popovich in San Antonio and Bernie
: Bickerstaff in Denver and Washington. It also follows his coaching philosophy,
: which is to build around defense and also get his coaches and players personally
: invested in the effort.

不只Rick Carlisle在溜馬隊時給當時是助理教練的他很多權力，還有在馬刺時老師Gregg
Popovich和在丹佛及華盛頓的Bernie Bickerstaff。他的執教哲學建構於防守以及他的教
練團與球員們的努力。

: "It is truly a team effort within the coach staff, we all share ideas," Kuester
: said."It has been both stimulating and challenging for me. So far, I'm having
: a lot of fun."

“這確實是整個球隊的成就，教練團都不吝於分享想法。”Kuest說“對我來說這是既刺
激且富有挑戰性的。到目前為止，我非常享受。”
