Doug Collins, Phil Jackson, George Karl, Nate McMillan, Gregg Popovich and Tom Thibodeau all deserve recognition for the job they’ve done with their teams. 本季的年度最佳教练有许多出色的候选人 Jackson and Karl have made their strongest case with how well L.A. and Denver have played since the All-Star break. And for Karl, we have to look back at how he well he kept the Nuggets together in the midst of the 'Melo-drama that ran from September to February. Jackson 和 Karl 在明星赛後的表现尤其突出 特别是 Karl, 我们还得回头看看他如何把一直深陷「甜瓜人生」的金块队团结在一起 Dealing with the knowledge that his best player wanted to play for someone else and somehow putting together a 32-25 record in the midst of a media circus is the intangible aspect of Karl's candidacy. But there is a very tangible aspect to it to, and the numbers may make the best case for Karl. 带领一支主将早已「身在曹营心在汉」的球队打出 32-25 的战绩说明了 Karl 的无形影 响力. 而以下的数据更是 Karl 有机会竞争年度最佳教练的最佳证明 With the Nuggets original roster, Karl coached the No. 1 offense in the league. With a completely different kind of roster since the trade, Karl is coaching the No. 1 defense in the league. 以金块交易前的原始阵容, Karl 教出了全联盟第一的进攻效率. 以交易後完全不同的阵容, Karl 教出了全联盟第一的防守效率. Nuggets efficiency Timeframe Record Off. Rank Def. Rank Diff. Rank Pre-break 32-25 109.7 1 107.2 23 +2.5 10 Post-break 15- 4 108.8 7 96.6 1 +12.2 1 Overall 47-29 109.5 1 104.5 17 +4.9 7 Off. Eff. = Points scored per 100 possessions Def. Eff. = Points allowed per 100 possessions There aren't many teams in this league that can play at an elite level on both ends of the floor. The Miami Heat are the only team that ranks in the top five both offensively (109.3, second) and defensively (100.9, fifth) for the season. 攻守两端都能表现得非常优秀的球队并不多. 迈阿密热火是本季全联盟唯一一只攻守两端 的效率都排在前五的球队. (进攻第二, 防守第五) Along with the Heat and Nuggets, the Lakers have ranked in the top five on one end of the floor before the All-Star break and on the other end of the floor since. L.A. was the fourth-best offensive team (108.6) before the break and has been the third-best defensive team (97.8) since. 湖人队则是另一只明星赛後攻守突变的球队, 他们明星赛前的进攻效率联盟第四, 明星赛 後的防守效率则是联盟第三 But those numbers don't match the Nuggets' impressive transition from elite offensive team to elite defensive team. And that may be why George Karl deserves to be named Coach of the Year. 不过湖人的转变跟金块这种直接从进攻第一变成防守第一的惊人突变比起来就不算什麽了. 这就是为什麽 George Karl 也许应该获得本年度最佳教练的原因. *** John Schuhmann is a staff writer for NBA.com.
