After three or four glances along the sideline, Phoenix’s Jeff Hornacek and the Jazz’s Tyrone Corbin finally connected Friday night, sharing waves and thumbs-up signs from about 50 feet away in the standard postgame exchanges of NBA coaches. 三四眼瞥过後，凤凰城的老何与盐湖城的烤饼终於在周五晚上碰头了，那是在赛後双方教头 握手，伴随观众的挥舞和「按赞啦！」之标志时。 This month-old season already is dragging along in hopeless fashion for the Jazz , and some losses will register more than others. Let’s just say the latest episode did not reflect well on Corbin. His team was schooled in a 112-101 defeat that marked the return of Hornacek, a beloved Jazzman who spent a combined nine seasons with the franchise as a player and assistant coach. 球季开打一月後，爵士拖沓着绝望之风，且其中有些败仗让人印象深刻。就从最近再度给烤 饼打脸的这场来谈好了，爵士被老何以112-101上了一课，而老何有九季以球员、助理教练 的身分待在爵士。 "We didn’t give our best effort tonight," Corbin said. 烤饼说:「今晚我们没拿出最佳表现。」 Corbin’s partly responsible for this problem, having made Hornacek a full-time assistant in February 2011 after Corbin replaced Jerry Sloan, helping prepare Hornacek for a head coaching opportunity. 烤饼要为此附上部分责任，因为2011年烤饼接替教皇大位时，也让老何担任助理教练，帮助 他迈向总教头之路。 As the Suns proceeded to overwhelm the Jazz with their efficient offense and 65 percent shooting through three quarters at EnergySolutions Arena, four weeks after beating them by three points in Phoenix, these musings inevitably came to mind: 当太阳前三节以高达65%命中率痛宰爵士，四周前也以三分败给太阳，这沉思良久的想法， 无可避免地浮上心头: If Corbin and Hornacek had traded teams in October, would the Suns stand 9-7 and the Jazz be 2-15? 如果十月我们来交易教头，太阳战绩会9-7而爵士2-15吗？ How loud would the rumblings become about Corbin’s future if Hornacek were available as a replacement? 假使老何是替换的选项，把烤饼换掉的声浪会有多大？ If those thoughts are harsh, well, they’re no more unfair than the impossible assignment that Jazz management has given Corbin with this roster. 如果这样的想法很粗糙，那麽，制服组给烤饼打造的团队就没那麽不公平了。 Hornacek sought out Corbin, intending to encourage his old boss, before the teams headed to the airport to board flights to Phoenix in advance of tonight’s rematch. "I know it’s been tough on him," Hornacek said in the postgame interview, sounding more concerned than condescending. "His guys are young guys that have been thrown together. None of the guys have had the responsibility that they’re now being put into. To have to deal with that is pretty tough." 老何在回凤凰城前，找了他前老板—烤饼，试着为他打气。「我知道这对他来说很艰难。」 老何赛後访问说。言谈间关心之情多於纡尊降贵。「他的球员都是拼凑在一块的年轻球员， 在此之前没人有这样的重责大任，而烤饼要靠现有材料炒出好菜实在很难。」 The Suns also were projected as one of the NBA’s worst four teams, though, and they’re defying such labeling. 太阳在季前也被预测为四大烂队，但他们拒绝被贴上这标签。 Monday, the Jazz barely dodged a loss to another of their historic figures when Chicago’s Carlos Boozer missed an easy shot in a tie game and the Jazz won in overtime. That was a much different scenario, because Boozer is not exactly remembered as a fan favorite. 爵士在周一因Boozer失手进入延长并取得胜利，上演一出不同於以往的剧本，因Boozer不再 是球迷的最爱了。 During pregame introductions, Hornacek received big cheers from the ESA crowd, and no wonder. 赛前介绍时，老何也接收了犹他球迷如雷的欢呼声，此事也不足为奇:) This is not like Larry Krystkowiak or Marc Iavaroni or even Adrian Dantley coming home as a visiting team’s coach. This is Jeff Hornacek, one of the most popular players in Jazz history. The newly redesigned banner with the retired No . 14 hovered above him as he calmly paced the Phoenix sideline, usually with a hand in his pocket. 这可不是Larry Krystkowiak或Marc Iavaroni，甚至是Adrian Dantley以客队教练身分来访 ，这可是老何，爵士史上最受欢迎的球星之一，当他平静的插着口袋，步向太阳队板凳席时 ，顶上可悬挂着崭新的14号退休球衣。 Hornacek chatted with Sloan outside the locker room before the game and then channeled him afterward. "We kind of goofed around for a little bit there in the fourth quarter," he said. "Consequently, we tell our guys, ‘If you do that, not playing the right way, then you only score 17 points.’ They’ve got to continue to play throughout the game." 赛前老何在休息室外有跟教皇小聊了一下，之後又再碰头一会儿。老何说:「我们第四间打 得不是很认真，因此，我告诉我的球员，『如果你们这样打比赛，一节就只能拿下17分。 』他们必须整场都要延续下去。」 Yet Phoenix’s lead, which had reached 20 points, never dropped below 11. This certainly is a different-looking Suns team than the last season’s model that "didn’t give full effort every night," Hornacek said. Even with leading scorer Eric Bledsoe having missed six games — he returned Friday with 19 points — Phoenix is thriving. 当太阳领先超过20分，自此没低於11分，显然这季太阳已截然不同，「上季他们可没卯足全 力。」老何说。即便Eric Bledsoe缺赛六场，他一回来就拿19分。太阳在欣欣向荣中。 "It’s been a lot of fun," Hornacek said. "The guys are responsive and we’re having a good time." 老何说:「很开心，球员都尽责任打球，我们相处愉快。」 Here in Jazzland, nobody’s saying anything like that. 但在爵士队，没有人讲这种话。 新闻来源:http://ppt.cc/7lCg Kragthorpe: Jeff Hornacek schools Jazz in his return to Utah 嗯...如果能交易总教练还蛮屌的 值得浮一大白。 -- GO!JAZZ!GO! --
