To those who thought Joe Dumars was less inclined to shake up his roster now that he’s given them a different voice at the top of it, think again. “It doesn’t change my stand on what I sat here and said last week,” Dumars said Tuesday after announcing Michael Curry as his head coach – a week to the day after dismissing Flip Saunders as his head coach. “I still feel the same way I felt last week.” 别以为换了新教头Dumars就不想再动他的球员了。Dumars表示他的感觉和上星期一样。 Curry said he hoped he would “never get the chance to read one of you all say the team didn’t play hard, they pick and choose when they want to play, they play up to the level of their competition, the regular season doesn’t mean anything. Curry说他希望他上任之後没机会再读到"球队打球不拼"的报导。 “For me as a coach, that’s a direct relationship to me. That’s a stab to me. That hurts me more than losing in the conference finals, because that’s something you directly control. And that’s one of my goals, personally, to never let that be said about a team that I coached and a team that represents this organization, because you don’t get that nowhere else in the organization. Everybody else in the organization works every day.” Curry认为这点和教练有直接关系，也是教练可以直接掌控的部分，这对他来说比输掉 分区冠军战还伤。 A few questions later, somebody wanted to know how you keep players motivated. Curry fairly pounced on that one, too. 问到如何保持球员的动力。 “I don’t think you make anybody play. I think you substitute. Put somebody in there that wants to play. The way you have a motivated team, you remove the ones that are unmotivated. That’s pretty simple.” Curry的回答是摆上想打球的人，让没有动力的人下场休息如此的简单。 “I don’t think it will be a hard transition. I thought it probably should have happened when I retired. Three years ago, I thought I probably should have been a head coach. I did. 谈到工作的转换Curry认为不难。Curry甚至认为他在三年前退休时就该当教头了。 “I look at being a head coach just like I did as an assistant. I prepared as an assistant as if I was the head coach. I was a role player my entire career. I prepared as if I was going to be a guy that played 48 minutes. When you prepare that way, any role you find under that, you’re prepared for. Now that I’m a head coach, I can’t prepare more than I’ve prepared.” Curry说他身为助理教练时就准备好当教头了。他认为他不能再准备得更好了。 “Some people just have the qualities you see in a leader,” Dumars said. “I knew he had the qualities to be a coach, but more so he had the qualities to be a leader. He could have chosen any profession and he would have been one of the top people. He commands respect. He’s very disciplined, very organized, very well prepared in whatever he does.” Dumars认为Curry有领袖特质，在任何职业运动中都会是顶尖人士。而且他非常有纪律， 有组职，不管做什麽他都准备好了。 A few other interesting tidbits. Dumars said he’s talked to about 10 teams since smoking out interested trade partners last week with his “everyone is in play” proclamation and the rumors – as Dumars knew they would – have been flying ever since. Dumars说自从他上星期「每个人都可交易」的言论後已经和十个球队谈过了。 “I knew the phone was going to start ringing and I knew following that the rumors would start,” he said. “I’ll say this – we’re not talking to teams about their second- or third-best player. If I’m going to put these types of guys on the market, then don’t waste your time talking to me about guys you don’t like. Nothing is imminent. … They know we’re open.” Dumars说他要找的是第一流的球员。目前没有立即的交易。 * Curry said Dave Cowens will be back on the staff. Terry Porter, of course, was named Phoenix’s head coach on Monday. There’s a chance he’ll take Igor Kokoskov with him. As for filling out the staff, Curry and Dumars said they have reached out to assistants currently working for other teams and have a working list that they’re comfortable will produce what they’re looking for – a mix of veteran coaches and young ones who’ll bring experience and vitality. Curry表示Dave Cowens会留任助理教练。太阳新教头Porter有可能会把助理教练Igor Kokoskov一起带走。Curry和 Dumars说他们目前已和其他球队的助理教练取得联系。 “We’re just going to be a hard-working staff, from top to bottom, and we’re going to have a lot of responsibilities,” Curry said. “And I think that’s good. Any time you have accountability and you’re going to stand on that, your staff will be really hard working. And once your players see that, they usually follow suit.” Curry表示他们会找一批努力奋斗的工作人员，这也可以让球员追随他们的精神。 * Dumars said he had yet to talk to Lindsey Hunter about his future. Hunter signed a two-year contract two years ago with the understanding that he would have a role in the organization upon its completion. Dumars说他还没和猎人谈他的未来。 http://tinyurl.com/62zzzm Rasheed Wallace was the only Pistons player on the practice floor during Curry's press conference. Dumars said he had spoken to Wallace once since Detroit's Game 6 loss to Boston in the Conference finals. Curry had a brief exchange with Wallace following the press conference. I anticipate those two will talk more in the coming weeks as Curry goes about getting a feel for who he believes can help him succeed next season, and who can't. Wallace declined to comment. Sheed是Curry上任记者会时唯一出现会场的活塞球员。他和Curry在记者会後有短暂的 交谈，但Sheed拒绝发表评论。 http://tinyurl.com/66kjq7 Morris Peterson of the New Orleans Hornets wasn’t surprised Curry, one of his former teammates, became a head coach. “Mike is a great guy, who has always been a class act,” Peterson said in a telephone interview. “He wasn’t a big-time player coming into the NBA, and he had to travel a lot of venues to turn himself into a pro. That will only help him as a coach. I’m not sure I would be where I am without Mike’s guidance in Toronto.” Curry前队友Peterson很感谢Curry在暴龙期间对他的指导，也发他好人卡。 http://tinyurl.com/5tkh76 --
