自翻
The good thing about the impending divorce
between the Rockets and coach Rick Adelman is that it should be amicable.
有关於Adelman与火箭这对夫妻的离婚,
唯一值得庆幸的是他们会好聚好散.
No name-calling, lawsuits or custody battles.
The Rockets should be awarded sole custody of Hasheem Thabeet.
Adelman won't even ask for visitation rights.
不争吵, 不上法庭.
火箭会拿到Thabeet的监护权, 而Adelman根本没有争夺的意愿.
This will be a no-fault split.
No alimony, no hard feelings.
这不是任何人的错.
没有人需要付赡养费, 没有人伤心.
This isn't The War of the Roses.
This is a relationship that has run its course.
没有争吵, 只是一段感情很自然地走到了尽头.
There is an outside chance Adelman and the Rockets will stay together … for
the kids' sake.
But don't count on it. They are breaking up, so why won't they just get on
with it?
或许还有那麽一些机会, Adelman会看在孩子的份上勉强维持这段婚姻.
但是别期望太高了. 他们要分手了. 就让桥归桥, 路归路吧.
In a way, Adelman and the Rockets are like a couple headed toward the
inevitable,
but neither wants to be the first to say, "Let's end this."
他们俩就像是走到了尽头的情侣, 谁都不愿意先说分手.
Adelman has always been honest.
He says he plans to sit down with his wife, Mary Kay,
at the end of the season and decide if he wants to continue to
live the physically taxing lifestyle of an NBA coach.
Adelman是老实人.
他说他得跟他老婆好好讨论一下,
是否还要担任这一个累死他老骨头的NBA教练工作.
Fifteen hundred-plus games in 20 seasons as a coach might be enough for
Adelman, 64.
二十个球季, 超过一千五百场的比赛, 对於一个六十四岁的老头应该算是个大数目.
He has plenty left to give, though.
The NBA is better with him on a bench.
Talk about a coach who deserves another title shot.
不过他至少还要再带五场比赛.
有他在的NBA还是精采了些.
他也是那群受到赞誉却始终没有冠军戒的教练之一.
Should Adelman choose to keep after the goal of winning a title,
he'll review his options. Right now, Houston isn't one of them.
就算Adelman想要弥补他的遗憾, 找支球队让他戴上冠军戒指,
火箭队也不会是他的对象之一.
The Rockets haven't given Adelman any indication
they are interested in continuing this relationship.
火箭队目前完全没有表明想要跟他续约的意愿.
He is in the last year of his contract.
It would be pretty simple for the team to offer an extension.
It hasn't. There are reasons.
约满的最後一年, 球队提出续约应该是自然不过的事情,
但是并没有. 事出必有因.
Good fiscal sense
By not doing anything,
the Rockets know what they are doing with Adelman.
Not doing anything makes fiscal sense.
球队有财务上的考量.
If you believe Les Alexander's statement that
nothing has been "thought about yet in that regard" when it comes to
Adelman's future with the team,
you must be from another planet.
对於Adelman与球队,
如果你相信老板亚历山大的鬼话"我还没有想到那麽远的事情", 那你应该不住在地球上.
Speaking of locales,
it was a little odd that Alexander made a point (an inaccurate point, by the
way)
that Adelman lives in Portland.
说到住在哪里,
有点诡异, 亚历山大曾经拿Adelman在波特兰的住家来作文章.
The coach owns a home there, and that is where he spends much of the
offseason.
Big whoop. It isn't like Adelman jets off to the Pacific Northwest between
games or something.
教练住在那. 这也代表非球季时间他会待在那里.
见鬼了, 这又不代表球季中他会偷偷搭喷射机然後跳伞溜回家.
As far as I know, he hasn't missed a practice because he had trouble making
the commute.
It is a short drive from his in-season home to Toyota Center.
就我所知, 他从来不会缺席球队的练习,
他在主场附近有个暂时的居所, 开车相当近.
And clearly, that residency rule doesn't apply to owners.
Alexander bought the Rockets almost 20 years ago and has yet to get a Texas
driver's license.
不过老板们心中有自己的想法.
亚历山大在二十年前买下了火箭队, 不久之前才拿到德州的驾照.
If the Rockets don't ask Adelman to come back,
it won't be because he likes spending time with his grandkids in Oregon
during the offseason.
若火箭不跟Adelman续约, 应该不会是因为这种相隔两地的鸟问题.
With the labor situation —
an NBA lockout is considered more of a certainty than it was in the NFL —
it makes fiscal sense not to have a coach on the payroll with no games to
coach.
Also, the Rockets have to consider that, barring a blockbuster trade,
they probably aren't going to make a title run soon.
Why have a coach who makes championship coach-type money?
看起来是金钱考量.
火箭队看起来正打算惊天动地的做交易来补强,
而这样的动作看起来也不是能够马上冲击总冠军.
既然如此, 为什麽要花大钱去请一个能带总冠军赛的教头呢?
Adelman wouldn't be angry at the Rockets if they decided a younger, cheaper
coach
for next season would be the smarter move.
如果火箭队想找个便宜一点的年轻教练, Adelman也不会不爽啦.
Likewise, the Rockets wouldn't be upset if Adelman got a better offer or two
should he decide he wants to stay in the game.
当然, 如果Adelman到别的队伍去执教, 火箭队也不会眼红.
Still a viable talent
How long is the list of coaches who fit what the Lakers seek
after Phil Jackson retires at season's end? Adelman should be on it.
Phil Jackson退休之後, Adelman肯定在湖人的狩猎名单之中.
Should the Heat disintegrate and choose to upgrade from Erik Spoelstra,
how many coaches could handle that circus? Adelman is one.
当热火教练Spo玩火自焚的时候, 还有谁能弭平动乱? Adelman也是人选之一.
If a Los Angeles or Miami offer were tossed in Adelman's direction,
about the only reason he would turn it down is retirement.
如果湖人或是热火都对Adelman伸出了温暖的手,
唯一能让Adelman拒绝的大概就只有退休这个念头.
Adelman never has said he wants to coach somewhere else,
and he hasn't cheated on the Rockets.
He isn't going through the motions.
Adelman没有说过他想去别的球队当教练, 他也没有骗人.
If anything, he has been better the past two seasons.
He has done a phenomenal job just to keep the team in playoff contention,
squeezing almost everything a coach could get out of the Rockets.
这两个球季他做得很好. 让球队还有进入季後赛的竞争力,
让队上的球员们都发挥出他们的实力.
Twilight of a season
The Rockets' season ends exactly four weeks from today.
Making the playoffs would not be overachieving. It would be a miracle.
火箭队的常规赛季即将在四个礼拜後结束.
打进季後赛并不是一件了不起的事情, 而是一个奇蹟.
Just having a .500 record at this point is an overachievement.
As was last season's 42-40 record.
现在的战绩就已经是一项丰功伟业, 去年只有42W40L.
A disappointing season, yes, but that had nothing to do with coaching.
Adelman didn't buy these groceries.
He didn't crack the bones in Yao Ming's foot or ruin Tracy McGrady's knee.
Yet he is the franchise's winningest coach, percentage-wise.
这是个令人失望的球季, 没错. 但是这不是教练的责任.
他并没有打断姚明的脚, 也没有伤了TMac的膝盖.
他仍然是个史上着名的常胜教头.
That is overall and with the Rockets.
This has been a good relationship.
It won't end like either side dreamed it would when they got together,
but there aren't likely to be any hard feelings.
The franchise and Adelman are simply in different places and want different
things.
这就是他与火箭队的关系.
他们感情不错, 就算结束了也没有甚麽好伤心的.
两个人只是同床异梦, 各有自己的目标要追寻.
