外星人，坐板凳也OK的啦～ Sam Cassell's contract expires at the end of this season. We might not be seeing the last of him, however. He could be back in Boston next season - holding a clipboard alongside Doc Rivers. 外星人的合約只簽到這個球季結束，我們可能不會再看到他穿著 超賽的球衣比賽，不過，當下個球季你看到他拿著筆記板站在 河流旁時，可別太驚訝。 Or he might decide to try to play another season at age 39. "I feel pretty good right now," Cassell said. "If I was still playing with the Clippers and my season ended like their season is going to end, it'd be my last year. But I like these guys." 當然他也可能以39的高齡再試一次，”我覺得自己還行。”外星人說， ”如果我還留在快艇那今年就是我最後一個球季了，我喜歡現在這群同伴。” One of those guys he likes is Rivers. Cassell already has decided what his next career move will be - coaching - and having been here only a month, he is intrigued by the prospect of joining Rivers's staff. The two already have talked about it, although nothing firm is in place. 其中一人就是河流，外星人從前就有教練夢，而現在他更是被河流身邊 堅強的教練群吸引，而他們二人已討論過外星人加入這個可能性。 "Basketball is my passion," Cassell said. "With me, you like to get paid for what you do, but this is my passion. I've been wanting to be a head coach in this league for a while. Just don't be surprised if I leave this game as a player that I might be right up here with Doc on the staff." ”籃球是我的最愛，當然有錢拿最好，我已經夢想當NBA總教練好一陣子 了，到時如果我加入河流的陣容裡可別嚇一跳喔～科科～” Cassell also mentioned joining George Karl as an option, although we're not sure how long Karl is going to stay in Denver. Rivers appears to have a little bit longer of a leash, especially if the Nuggets somehow don't make the playoffs. 外星人也提到他有想過在金塊的Karl的手下服務。（真的嗎，你確定嗎？） "I just like how Doc Rivers has handled the whole situation," Cassell said. "He allows his coaches to coach and that's the thing I enjoy about being here." ”我很欣賞Doc充分讓助理教練發揮的風格，這也是我喜歡這裡的原因。” （Doc：因為助理教練比我厲害啊～囧>） What about it, Doc? 那Doc你覺得如何呢？ "I think he would be a great coach," Rivers said of Cassell. "I just would hate to be in his meetings because he never shuts up. And how would you keep him quiet on the bench? But he has an unbelievable knowledge of basketball. I told him a week ago, 'I hope you're not retiring any time soon, but if you do, I'd love to have you stick around.' And I meant it." ”我想他會是一個很棒的教練，但我希望永遠也不要遇上他，他從來不 閉嘴的，就連坐板凳他也是嘴炮個不停，不過，他擁有難以置信的藍球 知識，上週前我才告訴他，別太早退休，如果要，留下來當教練，我是 說真的。” You can already see the seeds of a future coach simply by watching Cassell on the bench. He is into the game. He takes Rajon Rondo aside to offer encouragement and advice, which, he understands, is one of the reasons he's here. Whether he plays or not, he always is someone to seek out after the game for his thoughts on what just happened. 現在外星人就已經在實行自己的教練夢了，他總是把軟豆拉到一旁給他鼓勵 和建議（外星人洗腦計劃？），他明白這是他來到這個隊伍的主要目的，不 管上場與否，他總是你在比賽結束後可以討論的對象。 "I understand what it takes to be a head coach," he said with characteristic Cassellian confidence. ”我明白當總教練需要那些能耐。”外星人非常有自信。 Cassell has made quite a career for himself after coming from a football school (Florida State) and being picked late in the first round of the 1993 draft. He has two NBA titles - and wants a third. He's played in an All-Star Game. He'd been around some of the greats (Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon, Ray Allen) before arriving here and, if nothing else, his one month as a Celtic has rekindled the flame, so to speak. 這裡講外星人過去的風花雪月（誤）。 "These guys make the game so enjoyable," he said of the Celtics. "If we lose, these guys talk about the loss. What happened? But everyone has the same intentions. Everyone, even guys who don't play a lot, like Scal [Brian Scalabrine] is in on the discussions. I like that. That's championship basketball. With the Clippers, if we lost, it was more like, 'What the hell just happened?' Well, we lost by 30, that's what happened. Everyone's at fault. Management. Players. Owners. Everyone." 提到超賽，”他們讓比賽變的好看。”外星人說，如果我們輸了，大家都會 在一起討論原因，所以的人都有共同的目標，就連沒有上場時間的人也一樣 （Scalabrine：大家還記得我嗎？），這才是一支冠軍隊伍，在快艇時球員 大概只會問，”見鬼了，我們剛輸了30分耶！”輸贏這是所有人的責任，包 括球隊經理，球員，教練，老闆，所有的人。 But there remains that other option - returning for what would be a 16th NBA season. Cassell hasn't ruled it out, even if his 15th ends the way he hopes it ends. 不過外星人不排除明年再上場比賽的可能性，一切都尚未決定。 "I don't know," he said when asked about next season. "I think I'll play. I feel good. The good thing is I don't have to play 30 minutes every night. I like my backup role. I like having Rajon in front of me. And Doc does a great job managing all this. And as he told me, this is really all about the postseason. They want me to be ready for that." ”我不知道耶～我覺得現在這樣也不錯，我不用每次上場30分鐘，我喜歡先讓 軟豆把對方追到腳軟再用中距離射爆他們（誤），而且河流說的很清楚了，一 切都是為了季後賽，他希望我準備好。” After that, it's anyone's guess. Coach Cassell? It certainly would be entertaining. And one thing would have to change - Rivers would have to remove the gag order placed on the Celtics' assistants. Cassell not talking? Not in this lifetime. 所以接下來呢？外星人教練？還有比這更有趣的嗎？不過有一件事可能要更改了 ，那就是河流對助理教練所下達的封口令，因為要外星人閉嘴，是不可能的事～ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 超賽不怕烏鴉嘴,因為我們有外星人! --
