Only a month ago, Brown won his second consecutive NBA championship with the Warriors. And he spent Monday watching his son, Elijah, playing in the Warriors’ summer-league loss on Dallas. 他才刚从法国回来，参加完朋友的婚礼。一个月前，他与勇士拿下连续第二年的冠军，星 期一他在达拉斯看他儿子在勇士夏联的比赛。 Nothing could rattle Brown, not even the NBA’s frenetic free agency period that included LeBron James joining the Los Angeles Lakers. 没有什麽可以吓到Brown的了，即使是今年夏天最大笔的FA交易LBJ加入洛杉矶湖人。 “I don’t really think it does anything for us. No matter where he is or no matter what anybody else does, everybody gets up and plays us,” Brown told Bay Area News Group. “Everybody is gunning for us. It doesn’t matter if it’ s the Lakers and LeBron, the Clippers or whoever else. It’s going to be a dog fight. I don’t know if it does anything for us as a team.” 「我不认为那跟我们球队有甚麽关系，不管LBJ去哪里或是其他人做了什麽，每个人就是要 上场打球跟我们对战，」Brown说。「每个人都是在针对我们，所以不管是LBJ跟湖人，或 是其他队伍，这将会是一场混战，所以，我不知道这些会跟我们有什麽关系。」 Is that because the Warriors now have five All-Stars after acquiring DeMarcus Cousins? 这跟勇士拿到表弟有关系吗? “Yes,” Brown said, laughing. 「是的，」Brown笑着说。 Brown will soon work with the Warriors’ four other All-Stars in Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. While all those players will participate a minicamp here for the U.S. Men’s national team from July 25-27, Brown will serve as one of the assistant coaches under Gregg Popovich. Brown很快就要跟勇士其他四名明星球员，Curry，KD，Green跟KT一起工作。这些球员会在 7/25-27参加美国代表队的迷你训练营，Brown会是助理教练之一，波总是总教练。 Before then, Brown sounded deferential on speaking with Lakers coach Luke Walton about James after coaching him during most of his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers (2005-2010). 在那之前，Brown说到跟湖人总教练Luke Walton讲到有关他在骑士执教LBJ的经验。 “If Luke asks me, I’ll give him my perspective. He’s a fantastic individual and extremely smart basketball player,” Brown said about James. “ He knows the game inside and out on both ends of the floor. Luke should feel extremely lucky, blessed and fortunate, like anybody who has had a chance to coach LeBron and be able to work with him. There’s no magic in it. He’s a great guy and you coach him as you see fit. He’ll buy into anything you say. Best of luck to them both, except when they play us.” 「如果Luke问我，我会跟他讲我的观点。LBJ是很好的人也是非常聪明的球员，」Brown说 到LBJ。「他非常了解比赛，里里外外，攻守两端。Luke应该要为有机会可以执教LBJ感到 幸运的，这没什麽神奇的方法当他的教练，他是个很好的人，你教了就知道。他会听你讲 的任何事。祝福他们两个，除了之後跟我们打球的时候。」 Brown laughed after saying those words. He then immediately turned serious on the perception that James brings plenty of drama along with his obvious talent. Brown在说了这些之後大笑，但是随即转为认真的态度讲到LBJ以及这一连串戏剧化的过 程。 “Everybody says he’s difficult to coach and all that. But he’s not,” Brown said. “That’s the only thing that comes with it – the attention that he brings to the table is off the charts. When you have that kind of caliber of player and kind of attention that comes with it, that’s something that you deal with and get used to it. The team gets used to it. He’s not going to bring any unnecessary attention upon him or the team.” 「每个人都说他很难教之类的，但是是他一点也不是那样的人，」Brown说。「那是因为其 他的事情伴随而来的关系--因为人们对他的关心度破表！当你有个那样的球员在队上，镁 光灯就是聚焦在那边，那就是你得要去习惯的，队伍也要去习惯。他不会把额外让队上分 心的事带到队上。」 That did not stop James from attracting attention regarding his pending free agency. That produced countless stories and speculation during each season before those decisions in Cleveland (2009-10), Miami (2013-14) and Cleveland again (2017-18). Before James’ first free agency departure, though, Brown stressed that uncertainty never hovered over the team. 不过那也没有让大家少关心LBJ要跟谁签约。在骑士(2009-10)，迈阿密(2013-14)跟骑士 (2017-18)在LBJ宣布决定之前，少不了众多的流言蜚语。不过在LBJ第一次离开骑士， Brown强调LBJ没有让那个不确定性在季中影响着整个球队。 “I didn’t talk to him much about it because he didn’t want to talk about it,” Brown said. “In my opinion, it was a moot point. Nothing could happen during the season. Nothing was going to happen during the season. So I left him alone.” 「我那时没跟他讲到太多，因为他并不想讲那件事，」Brown说。「依我的意见，一切就是 还在未定，在季中什麽都不可能发生，所以我不会去吵他。」 The Cavaliers promptly fired Brown after they lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals. Nearly two months later, James announced in an infamous hour-long ESPN special that he would “take his talents to South Beach.” After initially dodging questions on if the Cavaliers fired Brown in hopes to appease James, Brown entertained the inquiry nearly eight years later. 骑士在2010东区半准决赛输给Boston後开除Brown，而在两个月後，LBJ就宣布了那着名的 "要把天赋带到南滩"。那时候Brown回避问题有关骑士开除Brown是不是要安抚LBJ，不过在 8年後，Brown用比较娱乐的方式来回应。 “There probably has to be some truth to it. You would have to speak to Dan Gilbert on that because he’s the one that made the decision,” Brown said about the Cavaliers’ owner. “But I’m not 100 percent for sure.” 「或许有一部分可能是，不过你可能要问骑士老板Dan Gilbert了，因为他才是做决定的 人，」Brown说。「不过我不是百分之百确定啦~」 Does Brown harbor any ill will toward Gilbert or James? 所以Brown对LBJ或是骑士老板有不爽吗？ “As crazy as it might sound to some people, I thank him and Dan Gilbert for giving me an opportunity,” Brown said. “I have great memories here in Cleveland, not only with the city but with the team.” 「一些人可能会觉得我疯了，但是我谢谢LBJ跟Gilbert让我有这个机会，」Brown说。「我 在克里夫兰有美好的回忆，不只是那城市，也包括了球队。」 After a head-coaching stint with the Lakers (2011-12) and another one with Cleveland (2013-14) that both ended in firings, Brown has produced much better memories recently. 在2011-12执教湖人跟2013-14执教骑士都被开除後，Brown最近的回忆应该有好的多。 After winning two NBA titles with Golden State as an assistant and acting head coach, Brown dismissed any interest in any future head-coaching vacancies because of his affection for Warriors coach Steve Kerr, general manager Bob Myers, majority owner Joe Lacob and the team’s All-Stars. 在勇士当过助理教练跟代总教练，拿下两届冠军，Brown对去其他地方找总教练职缺兴趣 缺缺，因为他对勇士队的总教练Kerr，制服组总管Myers，老板Lacob跟其他队上的明星球 员充满感情。 “I thoroughly enjoy where I’m at right now,” Brown said “I’m not looking to go anywhere.” 「我真的非常享受在这边的时光，」Brown说。「我不想找其他的地方了。」 Brown gushed about watching his son, Elijah, play on the Warriors’ summer-league team. He stressed he has not seriously or jokingly pressured Warriors summer-league head coach Willie Green to play his son. After Elijah initially was sidelined with a concussion, Brown mostly praised his son’s defense and shot selection upon his return. And after his son resisted his father’s feedback as a child, Brown spent this week watching film and talking basketball with Elijah at the team’s hotel. Brown开始滔滔不绝讲起他在勇士夏联打球的儿子，他强调他不会给勇士夏联教练压力， 一定要让他儿子上场的。他儿子一开始因为脑震荡坐在板凳，Brown赞美後来他儿子上场 後的防守以及投球，不过後来他儿子拒绝Brown以父亲身分的建议後，他这星期就在旅馆看 篮球影片跟他儿子讨论篮球了。 “I’m just happy he’s got an opportunity,” Brown said of his son, who played at University of Oregon. “He’s worked hard to get an opportunity. He ’s working hard and it can turn into more as time goes on. He’s just got to play, whether it’s G- League, overseas, here or wherever.” 「我对他得到这个机会感到开心，」Brown说到在奥勒冈打球的儿子。「他非常努力才得到 这机会，随着时间过去，他可以得到更好的成果。他就是得要努力打，不管是在发展联 盟，海外或是其他地方。」 Brown also expressed gratitude for Popovich inviting him as one of his assistants, though it is unclear if Brown will be part of his coaching staff for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Brown也对波总邀请他做助理教练表示感谢，不过还不清楚波总会不会邀请Brown成为2020 东京奥运教练团的其中之一。 “Anytime you can be a part of USA basketball, you jump at that opportunity to represent your country in any way, shape or form,” Brown said. “It doesn ’t matter if you’re sweeping the floor or shagging rebounds or if you’re helping with coaching. When he asked me if I wanted to be a part during that mini camp, I jumped at the opportunity.” 「任何时候有机会成为美国代表团的一部分，就是抓紧这机会，不管是什麽方式或身 分，」Brown说。「所以，不管是帮忙擦地板，或是捡篮板，或是做助教，那都没差别。所 以当波总问我要不要在那个迷你训练营帮忙时，我毫不犹豫就答应了。」 The Lakers also jumped at the opportunity to sign James after grooming their young players and clearing up cap space while missing the playoffs for the past five seasons. Though the Warriors praised the Lakers’ development last season, they hardly seemed phased about James’ arrival after sweeping his Cavaliers team in the Finals over a month ago. 在连续五年都没打季後赛後，湖人也是抓紧可以签到LBJ的机会，把年轻球员准备好，清出 薪资空间。虽然勇士赞美湖人上一季的成长，他们倒是没有对才在一个月前横扫骑士後对 LBJ降临洛杉矶有什麽反应。 “Anytime you can have that kind of caliber player playing with one of the LA. teams or New York or Chicago, it’s always good for the league because those are huge markets,” Brown said. “For him to go there is a good get for the city of L.A. and the Lakers. It’s going to make them competitive once again.” 「任何时刻有那样伟大的球员来到大城市，像是洛杉矶，纽约，或是芝加哥，对整个联盟 都是好的，因为那些是大市场球队，」Brown说。「他去那里是很好的组合，对洛杉矶以及 湖人都是，这会让他们再次有竞争性。」 --
