[外電] A return would be fine with Jordan

At the Palms in Las Vegas, there are two towers in which guests reside and –
 on occasion – even revel.

There is the more-aged "Palms Tower," its rooms far from flashy but the feel
so very familiar. And then there is the "Fantasy Tower," home of the hotel's
many high-end suites and boasting more than enough architecture to justify
the name.

Around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday night, a nattily-attired Eddie Jordan coolly walked
between the two. Sporting a gray suit, leather briefcase and a confident air,
he had just finished his interview for the Kings' head coaching vacancy.
達叔很酷的走在兩棟大樓之間，身著灰色西裝，手拿皮革公事包，一副很有信心的樣子，
他剛結束了面試。

It was entirely fitting that the former Kings and Washington coach spent more
than three hours Tuesday evening campaigning for his old job inside the older
facility. And while the vacancy in Philadelphia means he stands between jobs
of varying appeal as well, Jordan spoke from his Fantasy Tower room as if he
wanted to make a return to Sacramento a reality.
為了這曾經做過的工作花了超過三個小時。76人也在搶人，不過達叔說，他想要回到國王

"No. 1, I have great respect and admiration for (Kings basketball president)
Geoff Petrie, (Kings consultant) Pete Carril, and the Maloofs, for their
energy, enthusiasm and excitement with their team," said Jordan, who was
fired after his one full season with the Kings in 1997-98. "Second of all, I
love coaching and developing, especially young players. I've been involved
with young players both in New Jersey (as an assistant) and the Wizards (as a
head coach). Third, I love Northern California. There are a lot of positives,
a lot of good things. But before I get to the step of, 'Would I accept an
offer?' it has to be offered to me, and it hasn't been offered to me yet."
「第一，我很尊敬和欽佩Petrie、Coachie、馬兄弟，關於他們對球隊的能量、熱情、激情
。第二，我喜歡當教練和培養，尤其是年輕球員，我在新澤西和巫師都做過。第三，我喜
歡北卡，這裡有很多正面的東西，這裡有很多好東西，但在我到達要做選擇的階段前，要
先有offer給我，但目前我還沒有收到offer。」達叔說

While Petrie is known to be fond of Jordan from their longstanding
relationship, Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said he had never met Jordan before
the interview that included Petrie and Joe Maloof. His first experience,
however, was positive.
Petrie喜歡達叔是眾所皆知，Gavin說他在面試前沒有碰過達叔，他的第一經驗，是正面的

"I really liked him personally and he certainly has the credentials," Gavin
Maloof said. "I was very impressed with him."
「我個人很喜歡他，而且他的確有資格，我對他印象非常深」

Despite Jordan's reputation as an offense-first coaching mind, Gavin Maloof
said he was pleased with the discussions on defense as well.
儘管大家對達叔都是進攻第一的印象，Gavin說他也很開心和達叔討論防守。

"He's a good teacher," Maloof said. "He was going over some Xs and Os (of
Wizards games on video) with Joe and I, and I really learned a lot in the
first three hours about his defensive strategies, his offensive philosophies.
And I'm thinking to myself, 'If I can understand it, then maybe these players
can understand it.'
「他是個好的導師，他對Joe和我說了很多優劣，而且我真的學到很多，關於他防守的策略
和他的進攻哲學。而我自己在想，如果我也可以懂，沒道理球員不會懂」

"He speaks very simple, very direct, and you understand it. He's a good
teacher, which is what we're going to need with the young team that we have."
「他講得非常簡單，非常直接，而且你可以懂。他是個好導師，這就是我們所需要來帶年
輕球隊的」

Maloof said the Kings will now deliberate and decide where to go from here.
He reiterated ownership's stance that Petrie will be in charge of the process.
馬魯夫說國王現在會很謹慎決定未來怎麼走，他重申老闆的立場，Petrie會決定這一切。

"We've got another interview (today), so we'll see how that goes and then
it's really up to Geoff (and) whether he wants to interview more people or
whatever," Gavin Maloof said. "We're just kind of leaving it all to Geoff.
Ultimately, he's going to make the final decision. He just wants to make sure
we're comfortable with whoever he chooses.
「我們今天有其他的面試，所以我們會看看如何，然後由Petrie來做決定，看他是否想要
面試更多人還是怎麼樣，我們只是全部交給Petrie。他來做最後的決定，他只是想要確認
我們喜歡他選擇的人」
