Last Updated: April 10. 2011 1:00AM Pistons coach John Kuester awaits his fate 活塞队教练John Kuester在等候他的命运 Vincent Goodwill / The Detroit News Charlotte, N.C.— Pistons coach John Kuester walked out the tunnel from the bowels of Time Warner Cable Arena, waving to familiar faces in the crowd, not knowing if his days as Pistons coach are numbered. 当活塞队教练John Kuester走出球场时，观众席上的熟面孔们 没人知道他还剩几天的教头可以干。 With the ownership situation no longer an issue, the scene shifts to Kuester's job security. Rumors have swirled on the Internet, speculating with almost-near certainty he'll be fired soon. 当老板的事情确定下来後，紧接着就是要处理Kuester的工作了。 谣言在网路上传翻天，而且几乎都是说他等着被火了！ He and Pistons president Joe Dumars will talk shortly after Wednesday's season finale in Philadelphia. For his part, Kuester said he wants to return for a third season. 在本季活塞队的最後一站－费城大战结束後，他将会跟活塞队总管 Joe Dumars短暂谈一下未来。目前来看，Kuester表明仍想带第三季。 "I'm sure we'll have some discussions," Kuester said. "One of the things Joe does is absorb things and tries to get as much feedback as he can." Kuester:「我很确定我们会有一些讨论，其一就是向Joe回报成果， 另外就是他也会给我一些反馈。」 This season has been tumultuous, to say the least. From boycotts to verbal altercations, insubordinations and finally, losing, things haven't gone the way Kuester expected. 本季一直处於动荡不安的状态，从口头上的抵制甚至到不服从命令， 输、输、输，一切都走向与Kuester的期待相反的路上。 "It's been a challenging time, there's no question as a competitor you always want to see and do the best you can," Kuester said. "There's been a number of circumstances everyone has been aware of, it's made for an interesting year. Kuester:「这季可真是充满着挑战呢，毫无疑问的，你总想见到球队的竞争力 并尽己所能。但是这季发生了这麽多次的事情……呵…真是有趣啊。」 (我想他说出最後一句应该在苦笑) He has had to listen to players gripe, directly and indirectly, about playing time, rotations and communication. Privately, he feels as if he has been painted as the villain. 他得听球员们的抱怨、直接及间接的表达对上场时间和出赛名单的不满。 在私底下，他总觉得自己被说的跟流氓没两样。 "What you try to do as a coach, you try to keep things as fair as possible," Kuester said. "We had a number of situations that came about, I'm not sure everybody had a true picture of what was going on." Kuester:「我已经尽量站在公正的角度做教练该做的事，但我们还是遇到 些状况(在批评我)…我不确定是不是每个人都有做。」 That said, Kuester is well-aware of the Pistons' recent history, where successful coaches were disposable, like his mentor Larry Brown. Kuester's record of 56-106 doesn't help his case, but he feels like he has learned on the job. 也就是说，Kuester在活塞队近年来的事件中，已经算是一位成功的教练了 ，就像他的师父Larry Brown一样成功。Kuester目前56胜106败的战绩只会 不利於他，但他还在好好学着当教练。 "We had to evaluate the entire picture as opposed to the one in front of us," Kuester said. "We're in a business where you're in it to win. And if you're not continually winning, I understand. But do I feel confident in doing the job? Absolutely." Kuester:「我们必须考量整体的事，而不是只针对眼前的几件事， 对，教练的职责就是要赢球，没赢球什麽意义都没有。 但我还有信心做教练吗？那当然！」 He admitted having a mismatched roster and said it's almost like coaching two teams, with the contrast of the veterans' and young players' styles. The team didn't make a single trade during his watch, but he believes Detroit is a better place for whomever roams the sideline next season. 他承认有一组不太合的名单而且表示就像两支队伍一样，充斥着老球皮 和小屁孩。在他看来，球队问题没办法仅凭一次交易就解决。但他相信 下一季的底特律将有办法解决一切的问题。 "I think moving forward there are pieces to this puzzle that can make this team very competitive." 「我认为昂首向前就是让这支球队拥有超级竞争力的最後的拼图。」 "That's what you want, to put this in a position where, in time, a tweak here and there, this could be a very competitive team. That's going to be Joe's decision." 「对的人做对的事，假以时日就会变的超有竞争力。那就是Joe想做的。」 No matter what happens, Kuester believes he's helped the young players develop under his watch, citing Greg Monroe's development from the start of the season to now, along with Austin Daye's maturity. 不管怎样，Kuester相信在他的照看之下，小屁孩们都会有很大的 进步，看看Greg Monroe的成长，还有Austin Daye今年的愈发成熟。 Kuester still laments not having Jonas Jerebko join those two this year; he loved Jerebko's no-nonsense approach, enthusiasm for the game and knack for making the right play. Kuester对今年最大的遗憾就是Jonas Jerebko没办法跟Morroe一起出赛； 他最爱Jerebko不多说废话的做法－在球场上激情且实在的打着球。 "It's a shame, because both of those are from the same type of fiber," said Kuester of Monroe and Jerebko. "He made the all-rookie team (Jerebko). Austin is going to be an outstanding player." Kuester谈论到Monroe及Jerebko感叹道： 「真的很可惜，他们两个都是好球员，Jerebko曾是新秀第一队的成员啊！ Austin也渐渐成为一名出色的球员。」 He takes pride in that, but doesn't know if it'll be enough to retain his job. 他对此引以为豪，但谁都不知道他能不能再执教下去。 原文:http://tinyurl.com/4yqot6o -- 我相信阿Q真的豁出去了。最近什麽话都讲了XD --
