[爆料] 教皇回歸.....山貓？！

[maxtail (馬克斯泰爾)]

Ex-Jazz coach Jerry Sloan interested in a return to NBA

Former Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan is interested in a return to the NBA.

教皇有意重返NBA執教。

Sloan told The Salt Lake Tribune on Tuesday that he has talked to Charlotte
owner Michael Jordan about the Bobcats’ job and could meet with him as early
as this week.

教皇告訴媒體本週稍早他和山貓隊的老闆那個人談過這件事。

Earlier in the day, Sloan told Fox Sports Florida that he would consider
taking the job in Orlando, if it were ever offered. The Magic fired coach
Stan Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith on Monday.

剛開除教練與總管的奧蘭多魔術隊也是他的選項之一。

Reached at his farm outside McLeansboro, Ill., Sloan made it clear he would
like to return to coaching after being away from basketball for 15 months.

在隱退了15個月後教皇清楚地表示了回歸聯盟的意願。

Sloan resigned as coach of the Jazz in February of 2011, citing fatigue after
23 seasons.

2011年2月教皇在爵士執教23個球季後突然萌生退意辭去教練一職。

Asked if he had talked to any team about a job opening, Sloan mentioned
Jordan and the Bobcats, who finished 7-59 during the lockout-shortened season
and then fired coach Paul Silas.

在被問到是否跟任何目前缺人的球隊接觸過時，
教皇的答案是剛在縮水球季創下7勝59敗紀錄的山貓。

According to Sloan, undertaking such a massive rebuilding job would not
prevent him from considering Charlotte.

山貓這麼難堪的情況並不會影響他考慮接任教練一事。

"Obviously, you probably wouldn’t win [a championship] right off the bat,"
he said. "But sometimes it’s not all about starting on top."

「一開始就拿冠軍當然不可能，但萬丈高樓平地起咩。」

If Sloan ever went to work for Jordan, Jazz fans would certainly see the
irony.

如果教皇真的跟那個人合作，爵士迷恐怕都要崩潰了。

Under Sloan, Utah reached the 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals. Both times, Sloan and
Jazz were beaten in six games by Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

公牛恥，猶未雪。

Asked about his reported interest in Orlando, Sloan said, "I’m sure a lot of
people are interested. But I really don’t know what the parameters are going
to be or what’s going on. I guess we’ll wait and see what happens."

教皇對魔術的看法：「有意願接教練的人必然很多，但現在情況還不明朗。」

Orlando’s situation is complicated, given the uncertain future of All-Star
center Dwight Howard and the team’s vacant general manager job.

魔術前景將受到魔獸未來動向及繼任總管人選影響。

Sloan knows the Magic "have a lot of different things to consider" while
searching for their new coach.

教皇認為魔術在挑選教練時會有更多需要考量之處。

Now 70, Sloan says he feels "terrific" and his health is "good," although
that does not mean he is actively seeking a job.

70歲的教皇自認現在親像一尾活龍，但他並沒有主動在找工作。

"I just stay out of the way and see what happens," Sloan said. "If there’s
some interest in me, fine. If there’s not, I understand that, too."

「叫我臥龍先生。」教皇說道。

After the 2010-11 season ended — three months after he resigned in Utah — a
handful of NBA teams approached Sloan about a return to coaching.

其實上個球季結束後就有不少球隊徵詢過教皇回歸的意願。

At that point, he was not interested. But by September, during an interview
with The Tribune, Sloan hinted the situation might be changing.

但那時沒有人能打動他，直到9月情況才開始有了轉變。

"I don’t think you can ever say, ‘No,’ " he said at the time. "But I’m
not agonizing over it, that’s for sure. I think I’ll always be able to find
something to do."

「永不復出這件事我很難保證，但眼下並沒有急迫性，」教皇透露：
「家裡還有很多田地等著犁啊...」

But Sloan’s wife, Tammy, wasn’t so sure.

"I just don’t see him staying retired," she said. "I just can’t see that
happening."

教皇太座從不覺得他會安於田園：「老頭子閒不下來的啦，奇怪耶他！」

Longtime friend Danny Brown, who lives in Illinois, agreed.

"If the right deal came along, maybe. He might do it again," Brown said.

「遇到劉皇叔就會出山了啦！」教皇密友伯朗先生也這麼認為。

Sloan, who was elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009, ranks
third among coaches in regular-season wins with 1,221. He trails Don Nelson
(1,335) and Lenny Wilkens (1,332).

教皇於2009年進入籃球名人堂，勝場數排名史上第三。
