* Your thoughts on Pete coming back? Adelman:“It’s a great situation. Pete wanted to take last year and be back east around his family more, and he just felt it was time. I think as he was away during the year and he came back, he didn’t like the way it was. He wanted to be around more. We talked about it and I think it’s terrific. He does a great job with the players, he’s a great influence on me and his input is terrific. I’ve said it before, with John, Elston, and Terry, I have four great people. Last year when he decided not to do it, it was really his call. I think it’s great for us and great for the team.” 記：你對於Pete回來的看法? 老K：這是個很棒的情況。Pete想利用去年回到東部和家人相聚，而他只是覺得該 是回來的時候了。我想他不喜歡幾乎一整年都待在別處，然後才回來。他想要在我 們周圍。關於此事我們談了一下，結果是美好的。對於和球員之間的工作他做的很 好，對我而言他也具有很大的影響力，他的到來很棒。我在之前說過我有四個很好 的夥伴，和John, Elston、Terry。而去年Pete的離開是他主動要求的。我想他回 來這件事對我們及隊伍來說都是件好事。 * What were your thoughts when rumors popped up after the season concerning your job? Adelman: “I think it was probably harder on my family. I think it just said to me the way of the world right now, because it was just one person. And that one person can start something that takes on a life of its own, which wasn’t really happening. And probably the only thing that really bothered me about that whole situation was that the first article came when we were still playing, and if you are going to write an article like that, write it when the season is over. I don’t mind anybody saying that I should have done this or I should have done that during the game— Marty (McNeal) does that all the time. I do mind it when someone has a fabrication out there and says something that isn’t true, or makes innuendos like its true. I mean, there are so many things that were said. If I can really control Chris Webber getting hurt, I’m a heck of a coach. If I’d known that I’d never have played him. There were just so many things that were said, that’s what amazed me, and then it took a life of its own. You just have to live with it. I don’t mind the criticism, I don’t mind the second-guessing, I mind it if it’s personal.” 記：在季後，當關於你工作的謠言四起，你的想法是什麼？ 老K：我想對於我的家人來說是更難受的。這告訴了我這個世界的現況，他完全 起因於一個人。而這個人說了些什麼非事實的事，卻讓別人一生背負。在這個넊情形下唯一打擾到我的是當我們還在比賽時所出現的最先的文章(指謠言)，如果 你想要寫那種文章，請你季後再來。我不介意當比賽時任何人告訴我應該做些什 麼，Marty (McNeal)總是在做這事。我真正介意的是有人捏造了一些不實的事 ，或把諷刺的話說的像真相。我的意思是，令我驚訝的，許多人說了許多事，ꘊ而這些事將會一直流傳，你身邊時時都有這些話跟著。我不介意批評和事後評論 ，我介意是否那是針對個人的。 * What are your thoughts on this upcoming season? Adelman: “We’re as good as anybody in the league. I just think it’s a matter of staying healthy. I just don’t know of anybody that is going to make it through when you lose your best player. During the season is one thing. You might lose him for 10 games or we lost Chris for 20, but we were playing Cleveland and a lot of other teams. When we lost him last year, they didn’t send Cleveland, we had to play Dallas. That’s hard to lose your best player against a quality opponent. I feel good about our group and I feel this team still feels it can win. We just have to get healthy and get focused. I saw Geoff say it the other day—we can get better from within, because we have young guys who are getting better, and that’s probably going to be a key for us.” 記：你對下個球季有什麼看法? 老K：我們和聯盟中的任何人一樣好。我想這只是保持健康的問題。我不知道當你 失去了最好的球員時有誰可以達到目標。在季中是一回事，他可能會有10場球缺긊席，或像Chris缺席了20場，但我們仍勝過騎士和許多其他隊伍。而當我們在季後賽 失去他時，面對的並不是騎士，而是小牛。要贏過素質相當的對手，並在失去主將的 情形是困難的。我對於這個團體感到很好，並且我認為他們還是覺得可以勝利。我們 只必須要保持健康，並專注。幾天前我聽到Geoff說了一些話--我們可以從內部變好ꄊ，因為我們有成長中的年輕球員，而這可能就是我們的關鍵。 The End ====================================================================== 愛國王分隔線 愛國王分隔線 愛國王分隔線 愛國王分隔線 愛國王分隔線 ====================================================================== 如果不知道Pete這裡有小消息 SACRAMENTO, CA (June 27, 2003)--The Sacramento Kings today announced the club has extended the contract of Head Coach Rick Adelman.
