Shaun Powell, Jul 11, 2015 --- LAS VEGAS — It was almost as if the basketball gods were unsure and skeptical about this whole idea of a woman coaching an NBA game. Why else would the gods give Becky Hammon the ball in the final 25 seconds against the Knicks with her team down three points in her NBA head coaching debut in the Summer League? 几乎连篮球之神都不能确定且怀疑 身为一位女性要在NBA执教的想法。 否则为什麽在Becky Hammon初次执教的登板中，在对战尼克队最後25秒的三分球会落空呢？ That meant Hammon had to prove herself pronto. She had to draw up an important play for the Spurs while everyone surely watched intently, no different than needing to perform an emergency root canal on your first day out of dental school. 这表示Hammon必须在短时间内证明她自己。当每个人都紧盯着她时，她必须在重要时刻 画好战术板，这跟你从牙医学院毕业的第一天就必须做好根管手术没什麽两样。 After the timeout, the Spurs ran the play ... poorly. The ball couldn't find an open man, and meanwhile, the shot clock ticked away. Hammon reacted quickly with 16 seconds left, raced to a referee with clipboard in hand and called another timeout so the Spurs could, as she later said, "get it right." 结束暂停之後，马刺队跑了战术……糟透了。球无法传到有空档的人手上，然而时间已经 快不够了。时间只剩下最後16秒，Hammon很快地反应过来，拿着战术板跑向裁判要求暂停 ，而後她对球员们说：「好好执行。」 She didn't blame the players, which means she aced the first lesson of Coaching 101. 她并没有责备球员，这让她在第一堂执教课程获得高分。 "I didn't draw it up clear enough," she said. 「我没有把战术解释地很清楚，」她说道。 The revised play went smoothly. It looked familiar. It was Spurs-like, something straight out of the Pop Playbook. There was no isolation clear-out, a desperate play you see so many times on the last possession in the NBA. Rather, the ball touched four different hands and then found its way to Jarrell Eddie, wide open in the right corner. 修订过後的战术颇顺，且看似非常熟悉，就是个出自於Popo教科书的马刺样。 看过了NBA那麽多次的绝杀，场上的空间没有任何空隙。然而，球触碰到四个不同球员的 手，Jarrell Eddie在右方角落的空档接获了球。 He missed, but Hammon didn't. 他投丢了，但Hammon没有。 The NBA Summer League is commonly used as a laboratory for players, referees, rules ... and now, female coaches. Here in Las Vegas, three females are on benches. Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman is assisting with the Kings and auditioning for a permanent role with the team this season and former WNBA player Lindsey Harding is a guest of the Raptors. But the privilege of being a female "first" belongs to Hammon, fresh off her first year on Gregg Popovich's staff and now, head coach of an NBA summer league team. NBA的夏季联盟通常被视为球员、裁判、规则…等的实验室，而现在还包含了女教练。 现在拉斯维加斯这里，有三位女性在板凳上。名人堂球员Nancy Lieberman在国王队协助 球队并试着成为该队本季的固定班底，而WNBA球员Lindsey Harding则是暴龙队的宾客。 但有资格被称为"第一位"女性的特权归属於Hammon，才刚在Popo身旁工作第一年，如今 是NBA夏季联盟球队的主教练。 She fit like any male coach in Vegas, the only difference being her voice was softer. Last season, as the junior coach on staff, Hammon sat behind the Spurs' bench, not next to Popovich. But Pop put her in charge of the Vegas operation, partly because he felt comfortable enough with her, and also because Pop wants to advance the notion of a woman coaching in a men's league. 她与其他男性教练一样适合於此，唯一不同的是她的声音轻柔的多。在上季身为一个新手 教练，Hammon都是坐在马刺的板凳後面，而不是Popo旁边。但Popo让她负责拉斯维加斯的 比赛，一部分是因为对Hammon感到自在合适，且也想促进女性也能在充满男人的联盟里执 教的想法。 Nobody's quite sure where this is headed or how quickly. Will the NBA have its first female head coach in the foreseeable future? And if so, will she be Hammon? Coaching on the highest level can get very political. There are only 30 jobs and they don't come easily even to experienced coaches; Hammon has never been a coach on any level until now. It's about timing and networking and persistence and sometimes they're not always in your favor. But Hammon's ace card is Pop, the winningest active coach in basketball; and by extension, the Spurs organization, regarded as the finest in all professional sports. 没有人能够确定会从哪里或是多快会出现。在未来NBA会有第一个女性主教头吗？倘若成 真，那会是Hammon吗？在最高殿堂执教可以获得许多权力，毕竟在NBA只有30个名额，即 使是执教经验丰富的教练也不见得能获得这份工作；而Hammon在此之前，都没有在其他地 方执教过。这份工作与时机、人脉及持久性息息相关，而且有时候并不会事事尽如意。 但Hammon的王牌是Popo－－在NBA获得千胜且依然活跃中的教头；此外还有马刺队的组织 －－被视为职业运动最优秀的典范。 If Pop one day gives another team a glowing recommendation of Hammon, how could that team resist? 如果有一天，Popo把Hammon推荐给另一只球队，他们怎麽会说不呢？ Before that happens, Hammon will need to work her way up the Spurs' bench and sit next to Popovich for at least a year. The Hawks' Mike Budenholzer, the reigning Coach of the Year, didn't get his break until he served as Pop's assistant for 16 years. Given the uniqueness of her situation, and the track record of the NBA as a progressive league, Hammon won't need to wait that long once she gets the Popovich Blessing. 在这件事发生之前，Hammon仍必须继续完成她在马刺队板凳的工作，且至少还需要坐在 Popo身旁一年。甫获得年度最佳总教练的老鹰队Mike Budenholzer也是在Popo身旁协助了 16年才得以出头天。考虑到Hammon的情况特殊，且要成为NBA的政绩以被外界认为是个进 步的联盟，Hammon或许不需要等待这麽久就可以得到Popo的祝福了。 But first things first, as Lieberman said. Just getting to the point of coaching in the summer league qualifies as a breakthrough. 但如同Lieberman所言，首要的事情即是能在夏季联盟得到执教资格，就是一个突破了。 "She has such a great opportunity in front of her," said Lieberman. "And it's fantastic. They couldn't have chosen anyone better than Becky. We've been friends for years and I'm so proud of her." 「在她的面前有一个如此好的机会，」Lieberman说道，「这真的太棒了！他们不可能有 比Becky更好的人选！我们是多年来的好朋友，我替她感到十分骄傲。」 Strangely enough, Lieberman had tried for years to join an NBA staff and thought that after coaching in the WNBA and the Mavericks' D-League team, her calling was imminent. Hammon was sensitive about this after being chosen by the Spurs. 奇怪的是，多年来Lieberman已经尝试要加入NBA的工作，而且她已经执教过WNBA及小牛队 的发展联盟，这份工作应当即将来临。所以Hammon在被马刺队指名後感到有些敏感。 Lieberman: "She text me and said, `I'm sorry.' I got on the phone and said `I'm going to kick your behind. Don't ever say you're sorry. You're opening up a door.' It doesn't matter who opens that door, as long as somebody does it. I'm just happy to be a good friend and a mentor." Lieberman说：「她发了短信给我『我很抱歉。』我打了电话给她并说 "我要踢你的後背 ！别再说抱歉，你开启了一扇门呢！"是谁开启了那扇门并不重要，只要有人打开就好了 。身为她的良师益友我非常开心。」 Lieberman was invited by George Karl to help with the Kings' summer league team and blushed when one of the players approached and said his mother raved about Lieberman, one of the early pioneers of women's professional basketball. The Kings will decide on her fate and role soon. Lieberman被George Karl邀请至国王队的夏季联盟帮忙，当一位球员跟她说他母亲欣喜若 狂地讨论着身为女性职业篮球员的先锋Lieberman，她感到有点害羞。国王队将会很快地 决定她未来的命运和角色。 "When George said she was working for us in the summer I got so excited," said Kings GM Vlade Divac. "I've got so much respect for her. We are willing to make her a part of the new wave." 「当George跟她说她要在夏季联盟上工，我感到非常振奋，」国王队总管Vlade Divac说 道，「我对她非常感到尊敬，我们愿意让她成为这新潮流的一份子。」 Hammon embraces not only the challenge of being a head coach, but the impact it could have on the game and women in sports. Those in the Spurs' organization give her strong marks for work ethic and speaking up in coaches meetings. Meanwhile, Hammon believes she couldn't be groomed in a better place, being in the company of Pop and the Spurs. Hammon所拥有的不只是身为一个主教练的挑战，另一方面的影响是在於运动比赛及女性。 在马刺队的组织下，她得到了偌大的职业道德及教练会议上的发言权。然而，Hammon相信 她无法在一个比有Popo跟马刺队更好的地方被训练。 "If Henry Ford came back and said `Hey, let me show you how to make cars,' anybody who doesn't jump on that opportunity is crazy," Hammon said. "I'm learning all sorts of things not only about Xs and Os but also how to handle a team, how to talk to the guys. I feel like I'm just a flower getting great roots, but far from blooming. Far from blooming." 「如果Henry Ford说 "嘿，让我教你怎麽制造车子"，谁如果有这机会却没有扑过去，那 他一定是疯了！」Hammon说道，「我学习任何的事情，不只单单是错或是对，还有该如何 去管理操作球队，如何与大夥们对话。我觉得我像是一朵拥有良好根系的花朵，但离绽放 还差得远。」 She's also aware that everyone's watching and forming their opinions and, in some cases, changing their opinion. 她也明白每个人都在关注并产生自己的意见，而在某些时候，又会改变意见。 "I think it's important that women be rewarded for their brains as much as any guy," she said. "This is really about the bigger picture. You want to make sure that when your wife or daughter goes in for a job interview, she gets the same opportunity that a guy gets, whether it's in basketball or the Army or the operating room. We want women there. Statistics will tell you that it's important that a woman is in the mix." 「我认为对於女性不输给男人们的脑袋予以等同的回报是很重要的，」她说：「这真的是 一件非常重要的事情。你想要确保当你的妻子或女儿在外面找工作，她和男人们有相同的 机会得到工作，无论是在篮球上、军队上或是手术房中。我们希望有女人在这里。统计会 显示女人在群体中是很重要的。」 When it comes to basketball in general and specifically the NBA, Hammon sense that change is coming. If a woman with a solid basketball background and a smooth track record in working with men is up for a head coaching job, how many interviews will it take before she lands it? In the perfect world, she'll get a job and then get fired if she doesn't win, like any male. 而提到篮球，而特别是在NBA时，Hammon感觉有什麽改变正在发生。如果一位女性具 有深厚的篮球背景，且具有跟男人一样的主教练工作，那麽在她正式站稳这工作前会有多 少面谈的机会？在理想的世界里面，她会得到一份工作，并在无法取胜後被炒鱿鱼，就跟 男性一样。 "There are so any capable female minds who are in the basketball world," said Hammon. "Why not have them in the mix as coaches? We bring another perspective. In our film room and coaches room with the Spurs, different perspectives are welcome. In fact, they're encouraged. That way, we can sharpen each other and come to the best conclusion." 「有许多有能力的女性很在乎谁会在篮球界里，」Hammon说，「为什麽不把她们招集作为 教练呢？我们会对事物带来不同的看法。在马刺队的影片室及教练房间里，很乐见於不同 的意见。实际上，他们也被鼓励。因此，我们可以互相切磋，并得到最好的结论。」 Hammon nearly came to a winning conclusion Saturday against the Knicks when she called timeout and everyone huddled around. This was a watershed moment for her and by extension, those she represents. After the final buzzer and a five-point loss, the head coach in training did have one request, though. 当Hammon在星期六对战尼克的比赛中叫了暂停并大家都围着她时，她是如此地接近胜利。 对她而言这是一个分水岭，且她代表了这一切。即使最後终场哨音响起，五分差的输球， 身为训练中的主教练这确实是一个必要的请求。 "Do I want it to go down to the wire for every game? No," she laughed. "That's freaking stressful." 「我希望每场比赛都要到最後一刻才分出胜负吗？才不呢。」她笑道：「这太令人紧张 了。」 --- 从NBA官网上看到的文章。 身为女生，看到第一个执教夏季联盟的女教练、又是马刺出品，觉得非常开心 顺手翻了一下 (翻超久Q_Q...)，有些语句不通顺或语焉不详的地方请拜托指教！ 谢谢：D --
