原文出处： http://myurl.com.tw/q5si -- Nazr Mohammed and Flip Murray -- newcomers to the Pistons roster -- aren't the only ones going through a transition period. 回教人和魔锐是活塞阵容中的新成员，但他们并非球队在这段变动频繁的时期里面的 唯二两张新面孔。 Dave Cowens and Terry Porter joined Flip Saunders' coaching staff when Sidney Lowe and Don Zierden left after one season. Each underwent a crash course on how the Pistons operate, from absorbing the playbook to learning players' habits. D.Cowens和T.Porter在S.Lowe和D.Zierden待了一年离开後便加入了以老桑为首的教练 团队，他们俩都面对了必须在最短时间内了解活塞这支球队如何运作，上至吸收老桑有如 电话簿厚重的战术本的精髓，下至熟知球员们习性的严苛挑战。 "There's a lot of tendencies, a lot of similarities," Porter said. "New players , new coaches -- you still have to learn the same thing." "这里有很多不同的特性，但和其他地方也有许多的相似处，"Porter说。"新的球员， 新的教练 -- 你仍必须学习这些相同的事情。" Cowens was a Hall of Fame player with the Boston Celtics and spent eight years as a head coach, including six in the NBA. Most recently, he was the general manager and head coach of the WNBA expansion Chicago Sky. Porter was the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks in 2003-05, following a 17-year playing career that included a stop in Minnesota, where Saunders was his coach. Cowens球员时期待在波士顿塞尔提克并且入选了名人堂，另外他也有八年的时间在担 任球队的总教练，包括有六年是在NBA。而在加入活塞教练团队前他是WNBA发展联盟芝加哥 天空队的总管兼总教练。Porter则是在长达17年的球员生涯画下句点後於'03-'05年出任密 尔瓦基公鹿队的总教练，而他'95-'98年球季在明尼苏达打球时还曾经效力於老桑麾下。 "They're old-school guys, no question about it," Pistons reserve Dale Davis said. "Both were great players, and they can relate. Anytime you have a guy who has had a great career and has been in the league for that number of years, I think it's easier for them to teach from experience." "他们毫无疑问是老学院派的家伙，"活塞替补球员D.Davis说。"他们以前都是出类拔 萃的伟大球员，而他们也能和大家相处得很好。我认为不管什麽时候教练团中有个拥有杰 出球员生涯并且在这个联盟中打滚了许多年的家伙，对他们来说要进行经验传承都是容易 地多。 During practice, Cowens works with the big men, Porter with the guards. On the bench, Cowens and Porter discuss substitution patterns and what plays the team may run and when would be a good time, for instance, to switch to a zone. 在练习时间，Cowens和Porter分别针对大个子球员和後卫进行特训。在板凳上， Cowens和Porter则是一起讨论球队该采用什麽样的替补阵容，球队该使用什麽样的战术， 以及什麽时候会是使用的好时机，例如该在什麽时候执行区域联防。 They make a good team, but their styles are different. While Cowens is more mild-mannered, Porter often jumps up to holler at a player or give Saunders advice. 他们所作所为都让球队变得更强，但其风格是大相迳庭的。Porter常会从板凳上跳起 向球员大声吼叫或给予老桑建议，相较之下，Cowens则是温和许多。 "Flip was looking for that, wanted that and likes that in Terry," Pistons vice president of basketball operations John Hammond said. "And with Dave, you have a little more quiet, subdued personality. Not that his importance is any less, because I know that it's not. But I think he kind of brings that, and Dave wouldn't probably appreciate this backhanded compliment, but a lot of staffs have what you call a graybeard. The graybeard is the older coach with years of experience, and Dave brings that." "这就是老桑一直以来在寻找的，他需要而且也喜欢他在Porter身上得到的抑注，"活 塞的篮球执行副总裁J.Hammond说。"而有了Cowens，球队会变得更为从容，因为他有柔和 的人格特质。这并不是说他对於球队较不重要，因为我知道事情并非如此。但我认为他就 是用这样的方式带给球队帮助，而Cowens应该也不会喜欢这样不直接的称赞，但我们球队 教练团中确实有许多人都像是你们所说的老江湖。老江湖就是指那些已经有好几年执教经 验的老牌教练，而Cowens就是其中的一位。" Saunders and the two ex-head coaches don't step on each other's toes. 老桑和这两位之前都曾担任过NBA球队总教练的助理教练都相当敬重对方。 Cowens said Saunders "doesn't mind if you step in. He doesn't say, 'Oh, he can't talk, he can't talk. I'm the only one they want to hear.' He's real easy in that way. I think Terry and I and Harp (assistant Ron Harper), in the experiences we've had, we see something, we'll pick a time, we'll step in and say something and get back out. We just sort of follow his lead." Cowens说老桑"并不介意你发表意见。他不会说，'噢，你不准说话，他也不准说。他 们只想听我的话。'他在这方面相当容易相处。我认为Porter、我还有另外一位助理教练R. Harper，我们的经验都是，我们看到一些事情，我们会选择一个适当的时机介入并发表一 些意见然後再藉此得到一些东西。但基本上我们还是跟随他的领导，尊重他的意见。" Porter said he would like to return to head coaching. Cowens, perhaps not. Porter说他会希望未来能再回到总教练的位置上，而Cowens或许不会。 "I'm happy with what I'm doing right now," he said. "我很满意现在的处境，"他说。 --
