It was in the end, Mikhail Prokhorov's call. The Nets owner and his No. 2 didn't like the way things were going, thought that even the wins were awkward, that after spending a third of a billion dollars on the talent, they weren't getting their moneys' worth. it was evident as early as the 22-point collapse against the Timberwolves and as late as the mediocre performance against the Bucks. 一切都在普罗克贺罗夫的一通电话跟着结束。 篮网的大老板和球队管理第二人不喜欢目前球队的走向， 就在花了三分之一个十亿在这支球队上，他们没有得到这份付出的回报。 就像季初对灰狼队二十二分的崩盘，及最後对上公鹿的疲乏无力。 So Billy King spoke with ownership for about an hour this morning and the decision was made after that discussion. The final call was Prokhorov's, he told a press conference. "The great thing about ownership is when we decide something, we decide as a group." King 和篮网管理阶层在早上讨论了将近一个小时，但决定就在讨论後迅速完成。 最後一通电话是来自普罗克贺罗夫的，他告诉记者。 「关於我们管理阶层最棒的事情是，只要我们做决定，我们是同心一致地作决定！」 Then, came the hard part, telling the coach he had worked with for two and a half years that it was over. "It's never easy when you have to do this, especially with someone you know and have gotten to be good friends with ... I just told him 'Coach like you are completely unaware that we are looking for your replacement right this second.'" The conversation lasted 30 minutes. 但接着，最艰难的部分是，要亲口告诉那位和大家一起工作两年半的教练， 他的工作到此卸下。 「这从来不是一件容易的事情」 「特别是要跟一位你非常熟悉、且已经成为好朋友的人跟他说..」 所以我告诉他：「教练，你似乎不知道我们正在找寻替代你的下一位教练..」 这个对话持续了三十分钟。 He then told the players: "They felt bad, I think is the right thing to say." Andray Blatche tweeted after the meeting that he saw Johnson as a "great coach." 接着 King 告诉球员们这事情。 「他们感觉很不好」 Andray Blatche 之後在推特上面表达不舍。 The rationale, he said, was easy. Avery wasn't reaching the players anymore, he said. "We didn't have the same fire we did when we were 11-4 ... "Are we as good as 11-4? I'm not sure; as bad as 14-14, not sure. But I think we can be a better team than we have been." King说 「我们不像当时11胜4败的我们，我们真的有11-4这麽棒吗？我不确定。 还是我们就如同14胜14败一样糟糕？也不知道。 但我认为我们可以成为一支比现在更好的球队。」 King wouldn't talk about replacements. Asked about Phil Jackson, King said he wouldn't comment on reports, says he will give "all our support" to Carlesimo. "Right now we're going to go forward with P.J., and see where things go from there." King 不讨论关於教练替代人选。被问到菲尔杰克逊，King说他不会对报导作评论。 「就现在而言，我们会和P.J教练(篮网的助理教练，被Sprewell锁喉的那个) 往前走，并看看事情是否有变化」 He also said it wouldn't be fair to pinpoint this on Deron Williams. 他也提到「若把小将军之走，怪在Deron Williams上也不公平」 From NetsDaily --
