[外電] 稍微完整的GM節錄

[kart (=\)]

        這篇其實比較完整的節錄，
        看標題或是聽英聽可能會漏一些重點
        基本上Griffin並沒有說老闆不知情，他說他和老闆是決策者
        所以我不知道一開始說老闆和LBJ都不知情是哪邊的消息？

        另外他說他跟球員關係很密切，他在這一個決定並沒有特別去問誰，
        但是「幾個月來的觀察」他確信這是正確的決定

    Cavs GM says he didn't consult LeBron before firing David Blatt

    print
    INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David
    Griffin maintains he consulted only with owner Dan Gilbert -- and
    not his team's superstar, LeBron James -- before firing coach
    David Blatt on Friday.

        Griffin強調他只有請教老闆關於炒教練魷魚的決定，並沒有特地
        去請教LBJ。

    During a news conference in which Griffin explained the decision
    to let Blatt go and promote associate coach Tyronn Lue to the head
    man, he fielded a question regarding James potentially being
    labeled a "coach killer" for his perceived involvement in the
    move.
        在新聞發佈會上，Griffin被問到一個問題：
        LBJ會背上教練殺手的惡名嗎？

    "I certainly can [answer that]," Griffin said. "So, I've got a
    problem in general with this narrative -- and those of you that
    have been with us for a while understand this -- LeBron plays for
    this team. And he's the leader of this team. And he desperately
    wants to bring a championship to this team. LeBron doesn't run
    this organization. LeBron is about this organization and he is of
    this organization and he's of our community. But this narrative
    that somehow we're taking direction from him, it's just not fair.
    It's not fair to him in particular. But frankly, it's kind of not
    fair to me and our group anymore."
        「我當然可以回答這個問題，所以在我心中關於這樣的敘述一直有個疑問。
        -- 你們那些隨隊記者可以理解我說的-- Lebron為球隊打球。他是球隊的
        領導者。而他非常想替這座城市贏得一座冠軍。Lebron並不是球隊的執行長。
        Lebron關心著球隊就如同他關心著我們的社區一樣。但是這種關於他是
        球隊幕後老大的敘述，好像我們球團都要聽他的，並不公平。對他尤其不公平
        但是說實話，對我和對球團也不公平。」

    According to a source close to James, the four-time MVP "didn't
    know this was coming" before Griffin gathered the Cavs at the
    practice facility to inform them of the news.
        一個跟Lebron關係很接近的來源指出Lebron並沒有預見到教練
        會被火，直到Griffin今天在練習時把全隊集中起來告知他們這消息。

    Griffin said whatever conversations he had with James over the
    state of the team occurred in the weeks and months leading up to
    Friday, not in response to Monday's blowout loss to the Golden
    State Warriors. Griffin is a hands-on GM, making nearly every road
    trip with the team, so he said he felt like he had the
    players' pulse, even without a final conversation with the
    captain, James.
        但是Griffin也提到他和Lebron關於球隊的運作平常一直都會有交流，
        並不是對大敗勇士所做的反應而已。Griffin是一個事必躬親型的GM，
        他幾乎每一場球，包括客場都會隨隊，這也是為什麼他認為他能感覺
        到球員的脈動，所以他不覺得需要去跟Lebron請示來做決定。

    "I'm not somebody who believes we don't talk to the family before
    we make changes," Griffin said. "We do. And I've told you that. I
    talk to many players when we make decisions of magnitude that will
    change the locker room.
        Griffin說「我們並不是那種諱莫若深的球隊，直到交易前一刻才去跟大家說
        的人。我們一直都有跟球隊交流，而我也跟你這樣說。我一直以來都有
        跟很多球員做交流，尤其是那些會改變休息室氣氛的決定」

    "This was one where I didn't need to ask them because I've watched
    them interact with each other for a very long period of time under
    a lot of different circumstances. I know what something that's not
    right looks like, and I believe this was the right decision to
    make. And it's very possible that it's the wrong decision to make.
    You may hear that from our players tomorrow. And I'm open-minded
    to that. They don't have to like it. They have to respect that
    this is what we're trying to do."
        「這個決定我不需要去問他們，因為我觀察球員和教練在不同情況下
        的互動很久了。我知道當事情不太正常時看起來會怎樣，所以我相信這是
        一個正確的決定。當然這也很有可能是個錯誤的決定。你搞不好明天就
        能從球員口中聽到罵聲咧。我是持開放態度的。他們不需要去喜歡這決定。
        他們需要尊重這是我們試著要做的事。」

    James' public statements about Blatt this season have been mostly
    positive. In November, James said Blatt "does his job as great as
    any coach can do in this league."
        Lebron本季公開讚揚過Blatt多次。
        在11月的時候LBJ說Blatt「做的很棒，換聯盟任何一個教練來也不會更好」

    On a recent road trip, James told ESPN.com of Blatt, "One thing he
    tries to do is just put us in a position to win, and then it's up
    to us."
        最近的一次客場比賽LBJ回答ESPN的記者說Blatt
        「試著把我們放到贏球的位置上去，接下來的就是看球員怎麼表現」

    And even after the Cavs' win over the Los Angeles Clippers on
    Thursday night, what turned out to be Blatt's last game coaching
    the team, James credited him for emphasizing quickened pace, which
    paid off against the Clippers.
        甚至昨天主場贏快艇的比賽，Lebron也說Blatt強調要增快我們的
        步調，是我們能贏球的主因。

    "It's been something Coach has been harping on us about," James
    said. "He stayed on us as of late, and we need to do that."
        「這是教練一直在強調的，他直到比賽末段都還在強調著，
        而我們必須要這樣做。」
