http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2421395 Mavs' Johnson is NBA coach of year 小牛队的Johnson当选为年度最佳教练 DALLAS -- When Avery Johnson was an NBA point guard, many executives and players thought he'd make a great coach. How right they were. 达拉斯 -- 当Avery Johnson还是个NBA的控球後卫时，许多行政人员与球员都认为他 可以成为一个优秀的教练。他们所认为的事非常正确。 Johnson was honored as the NBA's coach of the year Tuesday after leading the Mavericks to a 60-win season in his first full season as coach. That matched the team record for victories, first set three years ago when he played for the team. Johnson在他初次完整执教的球季中带领小牛队达到六十胜的成绩後，星期二他赢得了 NBA年度最佳教练的荣誉。这可称为队史纪录的成功，奠基於三年前他为这支球队打球。 While the 2002-03 team was known for its scoring, Johnson transformed the Mavericks into a defensive squad. Dallas ranked in the league's top 10 in scoring and points allowed, ranking higher in the defensive category. 当这支球队在2002-03年以善於得分闻名时，Johnson就将小牛转变成一支能防守队伍。 达拉斯的得分能力在联盟中仍然可以排上前10名，而对於他们防守能力的评价也在提高。 After the Mavericks won 60 games in 2003, they didn't put Johnson on their playoff roster. Instead, he played the role of a player-coach during practices that postseason and sat with the coaching staff on the bench during games. Coach Don Nelson already had let Johnson run some practices and considered the "Little General" a possible successor. 在小牛队於2003年赢得六十胜之後，他们没有把Johnson列入季後赛名单。而是让他在 练习中扮演一个球员教练的角色，以及在比赛中跟教练团一起坐在板凳上。总教练 Don Nelson此时已经让Johnson去主持一些练习并且视这位"小将军"为其继承人。 Dirk Nowitzki, an NBA MVP candidate this season, and Adrian Griffin are the only current Mavericks who were teammates of Johnson in 2002-03. 本季的MVP候选人Dirk Nowitzki，以及Adrian Griffin是现在小牛队仅剩在2002-03球季 曾与Johnson当过队友的人。 "Avery's done a great job with us, preparing us every single night, teaching all the little things over the whole season and really turned the franchise around into a defensive ballclub first," Nowitzki said Tuesday. "He's done a great job, so he deserves a lot of credit." "Avery为我们做得很好，让我们在每个晚上都能准备好，在整季中教导我们所有的小事， 并且确实地让我们转变成以防守为优先。"Nowitzki在星期二的时候这麽说。"他做得很棒 ，所以他应该得到许多奖励。" Dallas plays Game 2 of its first-round Western Conference series against Memphis on Wednesday. The Mavericks won the first game. 达拉斯将於星期三在他们的西区季後赛首轮第二场比赛中对抗曼菲斯。 小牛们已经赢得了第一场比赛。 The Mavericks traded Johnson and Nick Van Exel to Golden State in August 2003 for Antawn Jamison. A year later, Johnson was back in Dallas, technically as a backup guard but realistically as another coach. He retired as a player before the season and became Nelson's top assistant. 小牛队在2003年八月将Johnson与Nick Van Exel交易到金州换取Antawn Jamison。 一年之後，Johnson回到了达拉斯，名义上是个替补後卫而实际上是另一个教练。 他在该季前以一个球员的身分退休并且成为Nelson的首席助手。 Johnson replaced Nelson as head coach on March 19, 2005, inheriting a club headed toward its fifth straight 50-win season. The Mavericks went 16-2 down the stretch and won their first-round playoff series against Houston after losing the first two games. 2005年3月9号，Johnson取代Nelson成为总教练，继承这支连续第五年迈向五十胜的球队 。小牛队在接下来取得16胜2败，并且在季後赛首轮对抗休士顿的比赛中，於先输两场的 情况下赢得了这个系列赛。 As a player, Johnson was undrafted and repeatedly released. He finally became the starting point guard on an NBA champion in San Antonio, and hit the series-clinching shot in 1999. 作为一个球员时，Johnson没有经过选秀而且多次被球队释出。他最後是在1999年於 圣安东尼奥以先发控球後卫的身分赢得NBA总冠军，而且他还投进了整个系列赛的 关键一击。 -- 在下英文不好....第一次尝试翻译外电....错误可能不少....请多包涵....小力点鞭XD --
