Kings Q&A: Coach Malone
One of the most discussed topics among Kings fans is small forward. How do
you feel the team now stands at the position?
“I think (trading for) Luc was a great step for us. We have Johnny Salmons,
we have Travis Outlaw – both capable players at small forward – but by
adding Luc Mbah a Moute, we’re bringing in a guy who is a versatile
defender, a guy who is a high-character kid. He’s shown over his many years
in the NBA his ability to guard (point guards) through (power forwards) at
times. I love his defensive versatility, I love the kind of kid he is and I
think he’ll be a great addition for our locker room, our team and our
community as a whole.”
Q:國王迷最關心的小前鋒的議題，目前球隊在這位置上你有什麼看法？
A:我認為MaM會帶來很大的幫助。我們已經有了鮭魚和法外，再加上MaM，
他是個很全面的防守型球員，他有很好的人格特質。他可以從PG守到PF，
我喜歡這個孩子，他對休息室甚至是整個團隊都是大加分。
How much does his defensive ability help with lineup flexibility?
“I remember when he was in Milwaukee and I was in Cleveland, he’d guard
LeBron (James), he’d guard Mo Williams – he’d guard everybody except the
(center). So depending on whom we’re playing on a given night – the NBA is
all about matchups – you can put him on whatever guy you think is maybe
their biggest threat offensively. We feel very comfortable and confident that
Luc can go out there and embrace the challenge of trying to lock that guy
down with great help behind him. Nobody can guard great players one-on-one –
there’s team defense – but you need that point person to kind of be the
initial guy guarding that player and we’ll have four guys behind him ready,
willing and able to help out.”
Q:你認為他的防守能力對於上場球員的安排上會帶來更多彈性嗎？
A:我記得當他在公鹿而我在騎士的時候，他可以防守LBJ，也可以防守Mo，
除了中鋒以外他誰都可以守。所以這取決於我們面對什麼樣的對手，無論是誰，
你只要讓他面對對方進攻上最有威脅性的球員。我們感到很蘇湖也很有自信，
MaM能上場接受這個挑戰，封鎖對方，而他的背後也絕對不乏支援。
你很難一對一守住對方最棒的球員，這就是團隊防守的重要性，
但你仍然需要一個球員站在第一線單守，而剩下的四個球員隨時都能來幫忙協防。
You’ve discussed the importance of changing the team’s culture. How much
does a player like Luc help in that respect?
“It’s going to start with guys buying into the defensive end. We had our
struggles last year on defense – being one of the worst teams in the League
– and we added a guy who takes a tremendous amount of pride in his defense,
takes a tremendous amount of pride in his preparation on who he’s guarding
and his matchup that night. He’s a high-character kid off the court, as well
– very involved in the community – so I think Luc kind of brings everything
to the table of what the Kings are trying to become.”
Q:你已經強調過改變這支球隊文化的重要性，你認為像MaM這樣的球員，
在這點上對於球隊會有什麼幫助？
A:球員必須先從防守端做起。去年我們的防守很差，全聯盟最差的其中之一，
而我們增加了一位在防守端很有心得的一位球員，他會先做好功課，
研究今晚要面對的球員。他有很好的人格特質，無論場內場外，可以影響所有人。
所以我認為MaM帶給這支球隊我們所需要的一切。
How does the addition of Carl Landry bolster Sacramento’s frontcourt?
“Carl’s a guy who I coached in two places – New Orleans and Golden State –
so the fact he knows me, he knows my coaching style and my philosophy is an
added bonus because he knows what practice is going to be like, training camp
and the season. He can help in the locker room and kind of spread the word.
“He has great toughness, he’s a guy who’s always been one of the better
off-the-bench scorers in the post – a true low-post scoring threat, a guy
who gets to the foul line and a very good rebounder. The knock on Carl for a
while used to be his defense, but being around him last year, he’s very
coachable, he has a great attitude and his attention to his defense really
got better last year. I would expect it to be even better this coming year.”
Q:你認為洗衣店對於國王的前場有什麼幫助？
A:我在紐澳良和勇士帶過他，他很了解我，也知道我的帶隊方式和籃球哲學，
他知道接下來的球隊練習、訓練營、賽季會是什麼樣子，並傳達給休息室的所有球員。
他是個硬漢，他會是板凳上最好的低位得分高手，真正帶來內線的威脅性，
他會經常上罰球線，他也是個好的籃板手。通常防守會被視為是洗衣店的弱點，
但去年相處一整年，他很受教，他態度很好，他去年在防守端下的苦工帶來很大的改善。
我可以期待今年會變得更好。
How would you characterize your relationship with Carl, who’s called you one
of the best coaches he’s ever played for in his career?
“That’s nice – Carl and I have a great relationship. He’s a guy who – no
matter what’s going on in the world – is going to come in the gym, he’s
going to work every day, he’s going to have a smile on his face and I love
the fact he accepts coaching. A lot of guys take coaching as a personal
attack, (but) Carl’s a guy who wants coaching, wants to be better and wants
to challenge (himself). I think if he has that mindset, he’s only going to
get better.”
Q:洗衣店把你視為他職業生涯所遇過的最好的教練，你會怎麼描述你們的關係？
A:很好啊！我們的關係真的很好。他就是那種，不管世界變得如何，
每天都會出現在體育館的球員，臉上永遠帶著笑容，且樂意接受指導。
很多人認為被指導就是對自己的質疑，但洗衣店樂於接受挑戰，他想變得更好。
我認為就是他的這種心態，只會使他變得更好。
As a player with past Playoff experience, do you feel he can serve as a
veteran leader for this young Kings team?
“Yes, I told him that. I said, ‘I’m going to challenge you, Carl. Last
year you weren’t one of our leaders in Golden State, but I want (you) to be
one of our leaders (in Sacramento).’ He’s been around for a while, (as
have) DeMarcus (Cousins), Greivis Vasquez – even if it’s by committee, we
have to have voices in the locker room. It can’t always be the coaches, but
if Carl can be that voice in the locker room to help our guys out, that’s
just an added bonus.”
Q:像洗衣店這種有季後賽經驗的球員，你認為他能領導這支年輕的國王隊嗎？
A:當然，我也已經有跟他說過了。我說：「洗衣店，我要給你一個挑戰。
去年在勇士隊，你還不是隊上的領袖。但今年我會希望你來領導國王隊。」
他已經來一段時間了，休息室裡需要一股聲音。不能永遠是教練在出聲，
，如果洗衣店可以扮演這個角色，對球隊會是個大加分。
How does Carl help strengthen the type of culture you’re striving to instill
in the team?
“He’s a guy who brings toughness, he brings hard work, he’s going to bring
it everyday and he’s a high-character kid off the court – all the things we
’re looking for. I give (General Manager) Pete D’Alessandro a lot of
credit, because as we put these pieces together, we’re not just grabbing
guys. We want guys who can fit into what we’re trying to do, and Greivis
brings that, Luc Mbah a Moute brings that and Carl Landry brings that, as
well as Ray McCallum and Ben McLemore.”
Q:你認為洗衣店如何幫助你灌輸這支球隊你所想要的球隊文化？
A:他會每一天都帶著他的強硬、努力工作的態度，場下他帶來他的個人特質，
這都是我們所需要的。我給予PDA高度的肯定，我們不是隨便抓幾個球員來，
而是慢慢把拼圖拼湊起來。我們想要適合這支球隊的球員，
而Vaz、MaM、洗衣店，包含了Ray、Ben就是我們要的人。

如果把Tyreke的離去視做Vaz、MaM、Landry的到來，
再來就是相信MaM了，期待他能改造這支球隊。
