[外電] Westphal displays take-charge attitude

When Kings coach Paul Westphal was hired June 9, the voices of dissent that
had surrounded the 58-year-old throughout the coaching search only grew
louder.
當保羅被雇用的時候，看衰他的聲音越來越大。

Among those who didn't see the former Phoenix and Seattle coach as a good fit
for these young Kings, the reasons were almost always the same. He was, they
would say, far too lax for this group, with his supposed roll-the-ball-out
style that worked with veteran rosters not fit for a team full of players who
so badly need to develop quickly.
他們都認為保羅不適合帶這批年輕的國王，覺得他太鬆散了，適合老人球隊，而不是充滿
極需快速成長的年輕隊伍。

But during the three-practice minicamp that concluded Thursday and made way
for the first of five summer league games today, Westphal was very different
from the version portrayed by his critics. Despite Kings consultant Pete
Carril holding the title of summer league head coach, Westphal went to work
implementing, as he said, "the skeleton of his offensive and defensive
system" while taking command of the floor throughout.
但在經歷過三次練習後，保羅完全不像批評他的人所描述的那樣。儘管夏季聯盟掛名總教
練是Coachie，但保羅還是歇不下來。

He scolded when he saw fit, stopping scrimmages numerous times to highlight a
mistake with a candid and oft-comical delivery or ask a player why his
instructions had gone unfulfilled. He praised, too, lauding the selfless and
hard-nosed plays above the rest. And while the sample size thus far was
certainly small, Westphal said this was the more accurate depiction of his
coaching style.
當他看到軟弱不爭搶球的時候就會開罵，問球員為什麼不完成他所要求的。他也會在休息
的時候對於不自私和有拚勁的球員大力讚揚。

"I'm pretty much who I am," he said after Thursday's practice. "You can't
change much. I'll be honest with (players). I don't try to hurt anybody's
feelings, but I don't want them to be making the same mistakes over and over
again.
「我就是我，不會變太多，我對球員坦誠。我不會試著去傷害任何人的感受，但我不希望
他們一而在在而三犯同樣的錯誤」

"I feel like I have everybody's attention, that they're playing really hard
and that they're trying to do what they think we want them to do. That's all
you can ask. I'm very pleased with their receptiveness and their intensity."
「我覺得我得到每個人的注意，他們真的很認真，而且他們試著去做他們認為我們所想要
他們做的。那就是你所能夠要求的全部，我對於他們的接受能力和強度感到開心」

Though the credit and blame have been equally dispersed, no one has seen both
sides of Westphal's ways like Donte' Greene. Midway through the team's second
practice at UNLV's Cox Pavilion on Wednesday, the second-year small forward
ran the left lane during a fast break and received the ball on the wing.
After misfiring on a long-range jumper, Westphal brought the action to a
halt, and the teaching began.
在球隊第二次練習時，Greene在快攻時跑在左邊，接到球。在一次長距離跳投失敗後，保
羅馬上暫停練習。

With no shortage of frustration in his voice, he dissected the play as it
should have been run and followed with the contrast of how it was actually
run. On three occasions, Greene began to walk away, thinking Westphal was
done with his point. And three times, Greene quickly stopped to listen and
re-address his coach once it was clear he wasn't quite done yet.
他的聲音充滿著挫折，他分析著這個play該怎麼運作，和實際所做的當為對比。在三次來
回中，Greene開始走開，想著保羅所說的。Greene很快地停止聆聽，回應教練他知道哪裡
沒有做對。

Not long after, Greene fought for position on the left block in a halfcourt
set and received the entry pass. He took the ball strong to the rim, using
the added 15 pounds of muscle he put on this summer and finishing the play.
不久之後，Greene就在一次半場進攻的左邊區塊進攻，接到傳球，他帶球強攻籃框，利用
這次夏天所增加的15噸的肌肉完成這次進攻。

Seconds later, Westphal was vocal again, praising Greene for his deliberate
work in the post.
幾秒後，保羅又發聲了，大力稱讚Greene在禁區的表現。

"I think he's a good coach," Greene said afterward. "There's times when he
gets on you, and he'll get on you. And then there's times when he
congratulates you and lets you know you're doing something good, so I like
him. I hope our relationship continues to be this (good) when the season
starts and the vets come around."
「我認為他是個好教練，有很多次當他要讓你進步，他就會讓你進步。他會恭喜你，讓你
知道你做的是對的，所以我喜歡他。我希望我們的關係能持續這麼棒，當球季開始老將回
來後」

While Kings shooting guard Kevin Martin arrived Thursday for a light workout
and to support his teammates, the young players will remain the focus until
the Kings' last game July 17. That includes rookie Israeli small forward Omri
Casspi, who was elated to be officially cleared from his contract with his
former team, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Thursday. The holdup with paperwork from FIBA,
the world governing body of basketball, had kept Casspi off the floor
Wednesday. He said he expects to sign his Kings contract today before facing
Detroit.
KM禮拜四到，做個輕量的訓練和替隊友打氣。orm和前球隊的合約已經解決。

Whether rookie guard Tyreke Evans will play is not so certain. After turning
his right ankle in the second practice Wednesday, the No. 4 overall draft
pick participated in drills Thursday but sat out all scrimmages.
Evans還不確定能不能打，他在第二次練習扭到他的右腳踝。
