新聞出處(必填):Boston Herald波士頓先驅報http://goo.gl/PTEOom 作者:Steve Bulpett [簡單翻譯] In what will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone, Kevin McHale was flooded with calls and text messages from his friends yesterday after his firing by the Houston Rockets. And one of those friends offered him a job. McHale被火箭開除後收到各方關心電話和簡訊，其中有個朋友給他一個新工作。 “I’ve always tried to get Kevin to come work with me and work with my big guys,” Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge told the Herald. 安吉說他一直想邀請McHale加入賽爾堤克的團隊。 Always includes now. “I told Kevin that (yesterday),” said Ainge, who is on the road scouting college games. “We’ve got a spot for him. I know we could figure something out for him in some capacity, but I think he’s just in a wait and see mode. 安吉在去看大學比賽的途中告訴記者，他可以幫McHale找一個位置，但他覺得McHale還在 觀望。 “He appreciated me reaching out to him, but I think he’s just going to lay low. He’s probably got bigger and better things to do — or more relaxing things to do. “He’ll have some opportunities in TV, and maybe when the dust settles I can get him out to teach the slippery eel to Kelly (Olynyk) and Sully (Jared Sullinger) and Amir (Johnson),” Ainge added with a laugh, referring to one of his old teammate’s inside moves. 安吉表示McHale很感謝他提供機會，但是McHale心情有點低落，不過安吉認為他將會得 到在電視上露臉的機會，不過當一切塵埃落定，安吉希望他來指導一下Celtics的長人們 ，傳授他如鰻魚般滑溜的內線進攻技巧XD McHale, Celtics legend and Hall of Famer, will undoubtedly become a hot commodity in the coaching market, based on his .556 winning percentage over four years and 11 games in Houston. But he may want a break after watching the Rockets drop their last four games in largely listless fashion — the last defeat a 111-95 collapse against the Celts on Monday. McHale是老賽的傳奇也是名人堂成員，過去4年在火箭執教有5成56的勝率，應該在教練 市場上很熱門，但火箭已經連輸4場，最近一場是週一輸給青賽（不算最新跟拓荒者這 一場）。 The concept of playing hard for each other seemed foreign to them, and there is widespread opinion that with strong egos throughout the operation and a Kardashian involved, McHale is better off away. Or as one league source from the west put it, “Kevin just gained 10 years on his life.” Another of McHale’s former teammates, Rick Carlisle, coached the Mavericks against the Celtics last night. “You know, here’s a guy that has such amazing integrity as a person,” he said. “You watch him on the sidelines, and he walks with a limp because of the sacrifices he made to be one of the greatest champions in history. “He loves and respects the game so much. It’s surprising when something like this happens, shocking even. But he’s going to be fine. He’s going to get a chance to get some rest here and, who knows, probably jump on TV and have a blast doing that. And then there’ll be a lot of teams wanting to hire him, because he did a fantastic job in Houston. You look at their team over the last few years; their roster was constantly in flux. He did an amazing job putting that thing together.” 前隊友小牛隊教練金凱瑞表示，McHale人正直，為了賽爾堤克的輝煌做過了很多犧牲 （腳跛），「他尊重比賽，難以想像這種事發生在他身上，一定會有很多球隊想要他滴」 Brad Stevens agreed. “First and foremost, I think we’re in a business where expectations certainly drive decisions at times,” said the Celts coach. “You know, I don ’t agree with the firing, but it’s not my choice to make. “I think that Kevin is a great coach. Kevin’s been great to me. Kevin is obviously a great Celtic. People love him everywhere they’ve been. Everybody that you hear from loves working with him, loves being around him. So to me, from the outside looking in, it looks like 11 games in making a rash decision. But, again, it’s not my call, and I’m not going to be the one that can appropriately analyze that because I’m not in there every day. “But I send my best to Kevin and wish him nothing but the best, and he’ll be coaching again when he wants to be because he’s a really good coach. I can just judge on how their team did, and last year I thought that team did as well as they could have done.” 青賽的帥哥教練也同意如此，「McHale是個好教練，大家都喜歡跟他一起工作，才11場 就開除實在太倡促，但我也不能說什麼畢竟我是旁觀者。」 This year, the Rockets had their issues. They lost their first three games, but won the next four. Then they fell to Brooklyn to begin the four-game slide that led to McHale’s departure. At the end, he seemed to be questioning their commitment — a problem that will not be fixed on any long-term basis by a coaching change. 今年火箭先輸了開季3場後又連贏4場，接著輸給籃網開啟4連敗，這也導致McHale的下台 “I don’t know the whole story of what happened,” Ainge said. “I don’t know all of the reasons why they felt like they needed to do it now. But the bottom line is the team wasn’t winning. “I just think Kevin has been one of the most underrated coaches in the NBA the last few years. Last year I think people started noticing all the great things that Kevin did, but I still think he’s one of the most overlooked coaches around.” 「我不知道整個導致McHale下台的過程，尤其是必須在這個時間點開除他的理由，只能說 火箭不在贏球的路上，我覺得McHale是nba最被低估的教練之一，直到上個球季大家才認 識到他做的一切多重要，但我覺得他仍沒那麼被看重。」安吉表示。 Yesterday, Ainge put his offer where his opinion is. He is hoping McHale will accept even a consulting role with the Celtics. It would at the very least make for one hellacious big man seminar. 安吉希望McHale能接受扮演青賽的顧問角色。 --
