http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/1856787.html 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. 达叔很酷的走在两栋大楼之间，身着灰色西装，手拿皮革公事包，一副很有信心的样子， 他刚结束了面试。 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. 为了这曾经做过的工作花了超过三个小时。76人也在抢人，不过达叔说，他想要回到国王 "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，我很尊敬和钦佩Petrie、Coachie、马兄弟，关於他们对球队的能量、热情、激情 。第二，我喜欢当教练和培养，尤其是年轻球员，我在新泽西和巫师都做过。第三，我喜 欢北卡，这里有很多正面的东西，这里有很多好东西，但在我到达要做选择的阶段前，要 先有offer给我，但目前我还没有收到offer。」达叔说 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喜欢达叔是众所皆知，Gavin说他在面试前没有碰过达叔，他的第一经验，是正面的 "I really liked him personally and he certainly has the credentials," Gavin Maloof said. "I was very impressed with him." 「我个人很喜欢他，而且他的确有资格，我对他印象非常深」 Despite Jordan's reputation as an offense-first coaching mind, Gavin Maloof said he was pleased with the discussions on defense as well. 尽管大家对达叔都是进攻第一的印象，Gavin说他也很开心和达叔讨论防守。 "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.' 「他是个好的导师，他对Joe和我说了很多优劣，而且我真的学到很多，关於他防守的策略 和他的进攻哲学。而我自己在想，如果我也可以懂，没道理球员不会懂」 "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." 「他讲得非常简单，非常直接，而且你可以懂。他是个好导师，这就是我们所需要来带年 轻球队的」 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. 马鲁夫说国王现在会很谨慎决定未来怎麽走，他重申老板的立场，Petrie会决定这一切。 "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. 「我们今天有其他的面试，所以我们会看看如何，然後由Petrie来做决定，看他是否想要 面试更多人还是怎麽样，我们只是全部交给Petrie。他来做最後的决定，他只是想要确认 我们喜欢他选择的人」 --
