This time, however, won't be like the rest. 礼拜五晚上会是这位名人堂教练第七次回到他曾执教的球队, 而这一次,也不像是最後一次 "I was fired, so it's a little different," Brown said Thursday during a conference call. "这次有一点不同,因为我是被炒鱿鱼的" 布朗爷礼拜四降说, The Pistons also were the first team Brown led to an NBA championship, and Detroit fell just short of repeating last June. After weeks of negotiations, the Pistons and Brown agreed on a $7 million severance package with three years and about $18 million left on his contract. 活塞是布朗爷第一支拿到总冠军的球队, Brown consistently said last season he wanted to coach in Detroit again, but the team wearied of his apparent interest in the Knicks' coaching job and a front-office opportunity in Cleveland. 布朗爷去年还是一直坚持他想在底特律执教.但是球队已经厌烦他对於尼克总教练 及骑士总管职位显露出兴趣 The 65-year-old Brown was unable to assure the Pistons he would be fit to coach this year. He had hip surgery early last season and that led to an undisclosed medical problem, which persisted after a second procedure in the spring and a hospital visit in the summer. 65 岁的布朗爷对於今年可不可以继续执掌教练职务,一直不能给活塞一个肯定的答案. 他在去年球季前遭遇臀部手术,并且持续有药物副作用的问题 "I think that's what they weren't willing to risk this season, and I understand that," Brown said. "我想这是他们不愿意承担风险的原因,我可以理解的"布朗爷说 Brown said his problem is still not resolved. "I've been in the hospital twice in the last three weeks," he said. "They feel like I have to wait until after the season to get some things taken care of. I couldn't do it now because it would take too long, but I'm OK. 布朗爷说他的健康问题还是存在,"我在过去三个礼拜中已经到过医院两次"他说 "他们觉得我必须等到球季结束後做一些事让问题复原,我不能现在做,因为那会花很多时间, 但是我目前都还 ok " "If I did something now, it would keep me out. But if I did it after the season, I would have ample time to come back." "如果我现在做一些事的话,那些事将把我带离球场.但是如果我在球季结束後才去做的话, 我将有充分的时间复原" Flip Saunders became Detroit's third coach in four seasons. He agreed to a four-year contract worth up to $26 million in July, less than a day after Detroit completed terms of Brown's exit. 老桑成为过去四年活塞的第三位总教练.他在七月同意了一份四年 2600 万的合约. 少於每天活塞要给布朗爷的,如果布朗完成他的合约的话 Some predicted the Pistons would take a step back without Brown, but they finished November with the NBA's best record, and Saunders was named the conference's coach of the month. 有些人觉得活塞失去布朗爷之後会大大的退步,但是他们刚完成了十一月份联盟最好的纪录. 而老桑也获得单月东区最佳总教练的殊荣 "I love that team. Why should I be disappointed that they're 11-2?" asked Brown, whose Knicks are 5-9. "They gave me everything they could for two years. ... The only regret is that after we lost, I didn't have a chance to help us win another championship." "我爱这支球队,为神麽我得为了他们那麽好的战绩而感到失望?"布朗爷反问媒体, 他的尼克目前五胜九败,"过去两年,他们给我所有他们能给的一切...我唯一遗憾的是, 当我们输了之後,我没有机会再帮他们赢得另一座冠军" Brown has a four-year contract with the Knicks worth a reported $40 million. 布朗爷跟尼克的合约是四年 4000 万 "When a guy took you to the championships the last two years and he's sitting on the other side, it's going to be kind of weird," Detroit guard Richard Hamilton said. "当一个家伙在过去两年带领你到总冠军赛,而他现在要坐在别人那边的板凳上时, 那将会有点奇怪"汉米说 A mix of cheers and boos is expected when Brown is introduced at The Palace, where Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders was once jeered while attending a game after he retired from the Detroit Lions. 当布朗爷礼拜五被介绍出来时,预期将会有很多的欢呼声及嘘声夹杂一起, "We got a tough crowd," guard Lindsey Hunter said. "我们有一群很严格的群众"猎人说 Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars is rooting for a positive reception when Brown is introduced. "I would hope our fans would stand up and applaud Larry," Dumars told The Associated Press. "Larry and our players brought us a world championship, and that's the ultimate in this business." 老乔希望当布朗爷被介绍时被群众欢呼 "我希望我们的球迷可以站起来为布朗爷欢呼,布朗爷跟我们的球员带给我们总冠军, 这是这项运动最终极的目标" Brown insisted he was not thinking about the crowd. 布朗爷坚持他不会太在意群众 "I've got a lot of fond memories of Detroit," he said. "我在这里有很多美好的回忆"布朗爷说 Brown, however, is still bothered by comments made by Pistons owner Bill Davidson after his departure. 但是,布朗爷还是困扰於活塞老板 Bill Davidson 对他离去的评论 "It troubles me that he thought I was a bad guy," Brown said. "我对於他认为我是个坏人感到困扰"布朗爷说 While he is saddened about the way his two-year stint ended, it didn't ruin his memories. 尽管布朗爷对於他结束合约的方式感到难过,但那不会破坏他的回忆 "When I walk in The Palace, I'll have a lot of special feelings," Brown said. "It was two of the greatest years I had," he added. "I'll always be thankful the opportunity Joe and Mr. D gave me." "当我再走进皇宫,我将有很多特别的感觉"布朗爷说 "在这里日子是我最好的两年,"布朗爷强调 "我总是感谢乔跟 D 先生给了我这个机会" ------ 不管布朗爷是自己想走还是被炒鱿鱼,我还是很感谢布朗爷带给活塞的一切~~ 不过,我还是希望活塞能痛击尼克,对我来说,尼克是抢教练的球队啦~~ --
