Stevens signed on to become Boston’s head coach on July 4, 2013, just one week after the Celtics traded up to draft Olynyk with the 13th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. 四年前，2013年的夏天，Stevens跟 Olynyk一起開始了他們的NBA生涯。2013年選秀會上 ，Celtics用交易來的第13順位簽選了 Olynyk，緊接著在一週後，2013年7月4號， Stevens簽下合約成為 Boston的新任總教練。 The duo grew together throughout the following four years, culminating with an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. 這兩人在接下來的四年當中一同成長，而在上一季闖進東區冠軍賽時達到頂峰。 During the summer, however, Boston was forced to part ways with Olynyk to make room to sign free agent Gordon Hayward. Olynyk quickly signed a lucrative contract with the Miami Heat, whom the Celtics will take on tonight at AmericanAirlines Arena. 然而就在夏季，為了清出薪資空間簽下自由球員 Gordon Hayward，Boston只好忍痛放棄 Olynyk。Olynyk隨即和熱火隊簽下優渥的合約，而熱火隊正是Celtics今晚要在 AmericanAirlines Arena面對的對手。 Stevens admitted it will be “weird” to see Olynyk in an opposing uniform tonight, and the coach was not shy about stating his feelings of happiness for Olynyk’s success and situation here in Miami. Stevens承認今晚看到 Olynyk穿著對手的球衣會是很怪的一件事情，但教練也不吝於讓我 們知道，看到 Olynyk現下在熱火隊獲得的成績和待遇，他有多開心。 “You want the guys to have a great experience with you, and you hope to continue that, but if not, it needs to be because they got an unbelievable opportunity, and Kelly got that here with the Heat,” said Stevens. “He’s in a great organization, (with) great coaching. He continues to be a very unique player that can impact the game in different ways. 「你希望和伙伴們共同經歷這一切，並且希望能一直持續下去，但要是事與願違的話，那 一定要是因為他們有了更難得的機會，Kelly就在熱火隊獲得了這種機會。 “He was a blast to coach, and certainly we miss him, but (I’m) happy for his success.” Stevens and the Celtics just hope that success doesn’t filter into tonight’ s game. 「他是個好球員，我們很想念他，但也很高興他有今天的成就」 只是 Stevens和 Celtics應該不希望他在今晚的比賽中有所成就。 Boston is searching for its fourth consecutive victory, while Olynyk and the Heat are looking to bounce back from a drubbing Wednesday night at the hands of the Spurs. Boston正在尋求一波四連勝，而 Olynyk和熱火隊則試圖從週三晚上被馬刺隊痛擊的失敗 中振作。 Olynyk enters tonight’s game averaging 9.5 points 6.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game for the Heat. Those numbers closely resemble those which he put up during his four years with the Celtics, and that comes as no surprise when considering how the Heat are using the 7-footer in their offensive system. 在這場比賽前 Olynyk平均每場可為熱火隊得到9.5分、6.5籃板和3.0助攻。這些數字和他 在 Celtics四年間的表現相當接近，難怪熱火隊會希望在進攻端能倚重這位七呎長人。 “I think that they even incorporated some of the things that we did for Kelly,” commented Al Horford, who played alongside Olynyk in Boston’s frontcourt last season. “He’s picking and popping a lot. Playing a lot at the elbows. Still looking to take the ball off the dribble. Just a lot of the same concepts that he had when he was here.” 「我想他們甚至融合了某些之前我們讓 Kelly去做的事情」 上個賽季和 Olynyk一同扛起 Boston前場的Horford說， 「他執行擋拆、在罰球線兩側大量持球、盤球，很多都是跟他在這裡時同樣的打法」 Stevens commented that the Heat are using Olynyk quite a bit at the center position, which oftentimes puts opposing big men in a bind, as they are not accustomed to defending a player with Olynyk’s shooting and dribbling abilities. Fortunately for the C’s, Horford is well-versed in defending Olynyk’s skill set, as he did so throughout all of last season’s practices. Stevens說熱火隊更常將 Olynyk擺在中鋒的位置，好去牽制那些不習慣防守有這樣投射和 運球能力的Olynyk的敵隊長人。 幸好，Horford正是精通防守 Olynyk這類球員的人，就像他去年一整年在練習時所做的那 樣。 “You just know the person and what they want to do on the court and some of the things that they can do,” Horford said of playing against a former teammate like Olynyk. 「你很了解這個球員，你也知道他們想要在場上做什麼、可以做到什麼程度」 對於要對上前隊友，例如Olynyk，Horford是這麼說的。 Still, the task certainly won’t be easy to overcome. 但是，這項任務並不是那麼簡單。 Olynyk is playing great basketball for the Heat and is hitting 54.5 percent of his 3-point attempts thus far in the season. He is a threat to shoot the ball or take the ball off the dribble every time he touches it, just as he was during his four seasons with the Celtics. Olynyk在熱火隊的表現非常出色，本季他有著54.5%的三分球命中率，當他持球時，他的 投籃和切入都具有威脅性，就像過去四個球季他在 Celtics那樣。 No one knows that better than Stevens, who helped to evolve Olynyk’s game all while he evolved as a coach. 沒有人比 Stevens更清楚這一點，因為那是他幫助 Olynyk建立起來的能力，就在他一邊 建立起自己執教能力的時候。 The duo came into the league together in 2013, and they grew together for four years. The mere thought of their relationship puts a smile on Stevens’ face. 這對伙伴2013年時一起加入聯盟，在四年當中共同成長， 想到他們之間關係，Stevens臉上露出微笑。 Stevens and Olynyk will surely share a smile and an embrace ahead of tip-off tonight, but after they do, they become opponents for the very first time. Stevens hopes to be beaming with a smile at the end of the night as well, after dealing his former player a loss during their first matchup against each other. Stevens與 Olynyk肯定會在今晚開賽前給彼此一個笑容和擁抱，但在那之後，他們第一次 成為了敵手。 Stevens還是希望能夠笑到最後，在他與前隊友第一次對決中獲勝的時候。 -- 祝福 Olynyk！ 猶記當年選到他的時候，一直被嫌是隻短手暴龍 這幾年下來也被總版黑化 但還是作出不少貢獻，特別是去年對巫師第七場... 要記得對上 Boston的時候不要變身 K.Olajuwon啊 --
