http://0rz.tw/a842o Johnson now an option for Bulls; D'Antoni next? Johnson现在是公牛的教练人选之一，下一个是D'Antoni? Days like Wednesday are why general manager John Paxson insisted he had no timetable to fill the Bulls' vacant coaching position. 「星期三」就是为什麽GM Paxson之前坚持还不要那麽快决定公牛教练人选的 原因。 With the Mavericks firing Avery Johnson and enough smoke swirling to suggest Mike D'Antoni might walk away from two years and $8.5 million on his Suns contract, Paxson's lengthy list of candidates just got lengthier. 除了小牛解雇Avery Johnson外，另外还有一些八卦提到太阳可能会解雇还有 两年850万合约的D'Antoni，Paxson的教练考虑名单是愈来愈多了。 Thus far, Paxson has talked formally only to Rick Carlisle and Mark Jackson about the position. That should change shortly as sources confirmed the Bulls would attempt to interview Johnson, who went 194-70 with a trip to the 2006 NBA Finals with Dallas. 到目前为止，Paxson只跟Carlisle和M.Jackson讲过有关教练的事情，而有消 息指出，公牛下一个想要会面的人就是 Johnson，生涯执教194胜70负，并且 在2006年将小牛带进了总冠军赛。 Suns general manager Steve Kerr denied a report by Sports Illustrated's respected NBA reporter Jack McCallum claiming D'Antoni's tenure with Phoenix is over. That denial could represent semantics as Kerr might not fire D'Antoni but wouldn't stand in the way of his departure. 太阳GM Kerr则是驳斥了有关D'Antoni会走人的报导，所以表示Kerr可能不会 解雇D'Antoni，但是也没有明说。 （详见太阳版，Kerr说他们已经在讨论球队的未来发展了。） Thus, the Bulls, or another team with a vacancy, could request permission to interview D'Antoni, who has clashed occasionally with Kerr. Paxson wouldn't be performing due diligence if he didn't inquire into the situation. 因此，公牛或者其他现在缺教练的球队，可能会想要去跟 D'Antoni聊聊，有 消息指出D'Antoni跟Kerr意见不合。 Johnson and D'Antoni are, like Carlisle, former Coach of the Year winners who represent drastically different personalities and philosophies. Johnson、D'Antoni、Carlisle都曾经是年度最佳教练，而且都表现出了不同 的特质和态度。 At first blush, Johnson would seem a better fit for Paxson's profile of a candidate who offers leadership, strong defensive principles and, in Paxson's only public words about the search, "a different type of vibe." Johnson可能会是比较是适合Paxson的人选，有不错的领袖特质跟教导防守的 能力。「会有不同的感受」。 Johnson also is a former player, which a source said has been discussed internally as important for this current group of Bulls. Johnson之前也是一名球员，有消息指出公牛已经在内部讨论了。 Yet D'Antoni, if he becomes available, also is intriguing in that he has been credited with reviving fast-break basketball with a unique offensive system. 还有 D'Antoni，如果他真的变成了"自由教练"，他也会列入考虑名单，以他 的功力可以将一支球队的进攻系统大改造。 Paxson, who played in the triangle offense, has told confidants he values offensive systems that adhere to a style of play, like in Phoenix and Utah. Paxson之前打的是三角战术，他告诉他的朋友他觉得进攻系统跟打法是相辅 相成的，就像太阳跟爵士一样。 Then again, the Bulls have nobody like Steve Nash and are looking to stabilize their point-guard position this summer. 另外，公牛目前没有像 Nash般的後卫，所以今年暑假得在自由市场找一个稳 定的控球後卫。 Speaking of point guards, the former player Jackson has been considered a cinch for the Knicks' job. Yet Johnson's availability, along with possibly D'Antoni's, could change that view. Nevertheless, Jackson is considered a long shot to land the Bulls' job. 讲到控球後卫，以前也是球员的Jackson目前是尼克教练的口袋人选之一。而 Johnson和 D'Antoni也可以改变这观点。然而，Jackson不太可能会是公牛教 练的人选。 （恕我冒昧，改变什麽观点？） Talk in league circles remains that the Pistons would deny Paxson permission to interview assistant Michael Curry, considered the heir apparent to Flip Saunders. 联盟消息说活塞拒绝让Paxson跟他们的助理教练Michael Curry面谈，这人被 认为是Saunders的接班人。 Another assistant, the Celtics' Tom Thibodeau, remains on Paxson's wish list. Whether he has dropped a peg now that Johnson is on the open market remains to be seen. 还有另外一个助理教练，塞尔提克的Tom Thibodeau，依旧是Paxson希望的人 选之一，而现在Johnson也是自由教练中的人选之一。 Paxson has said he won't worry about competing with other franchises for candidates and wants to let the interview process play out, seeking to connect with somebody philosophically. Paxson说他不担心跟其他球队竞争这些教练人选，他希望等这些面试都结束 ，再来选一个心灵契合的人。 As for ex-Bulls coaches, Scott Skiles has an oral commitment from Jim Boylan to join his staff in Milwaukee after Skiles considered coaches like Craig Neal, who couldn't get out of his college coaching contract. Team officials are working to finalize contract details for Boylan. 之前的公牛教练，现在是公鹿教练的Skiles已经口头允诺让 Boylan加入公鹿 教练团了。而本来Skiles的人选是现在在大学执教的 Craig Neal，但是他不 能跳脱他的教练合约。目前球队已经着手办理和Boylan结束合约的手续了。 -- 翻的不好 请见谅。 --
