http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=6534904 The Los Angeles Lakers' search for Phil Jackson's replacement is just beginning, but NBA coaching sources on Thursday described the Lakers as "very interested" in Rick Adelman as a candidate for the position. 湖人才剛開始尋找替Phil Jackson接棒的新教練人選，但NBA教練內線 指出湖人對Adelman感到非常有興趣。 Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw has the public endorsement of Kobe Bryant and is regarded as by far the strongest in-house candidate for the position. 湖人助理教練Brian Shaw已獲得Kobe當眾的支持，目前也被認為是最有 力的內部教練人選。 Yet sources say Lakers officials are intrigued by the Adelman option, not only because of his history of success in Portland, Sacramento and Houston but also his reputation for thriving with veteran teams and the similarities between Adelman's "corner" offense and Jackson's "triangle" offense. 但消息來源指出湖人制服組對Adelman垂涎三尺，不只是因他在拓荒者 、國王與火箭的成功經驗，同時也因為他向來以執教老手球隊而聞名， 以及Adelman採用的Corner進攻陣勢與Phil Jackson的三角進攻極為相 近。 Beyond Shaw and Adelman, sources said, L.A.'s list of potential targets is only just taking shape. 湖人在Shaw與Adelman之外的可能教練人選仍在成形之中。 ESPN.com reported in March that the Lakers have maintained a level of interest in former Rockets and New York Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy dating to last season, when Jackson also strongly considered retirement before deciding to come back for one more season. ESPN在三月就報導了湖人從上一季就對前火箭及尼克教練Jeff Van Gundy 很有興趣，當時Phil Jackson已萌生退休之意，最後才決定回來執教最 後一季。 Former Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy will also be considered, the Los Angeles Times' Mark Heisler reported earlier this week via Twitter. Dunleavy coached the Lakers for two seasons in the early 1990s and has maintained a friendship with Lakers owner Jerry Buss and son Jim Buss, who serves as the club's executive vice president of player personnel. 前快艇教練Mike Dunleavy也在人選之列，他曾在九零年代初期執教過 湖人兩季，與湖人老闆Jerry Buss及其子Jim Buss保持友好關係，後者 是湖人主掌球員管理的執行副總。 L.A.'s decision-making chain of command when it comes to choosing Jackson's replacement is Jim Buss, Jerry Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak, ESPN.com's J.A. Adande reported after the Lakers were swept Sunday by Dallas. "In that order," one source told Adande. 湖人挑選新教練的命令系統，由上至下依序是Jim Buss、Jerry Buss、 總管Mitch Kupchak。 In his postseason sitdown with reporters Wednesday, Kupchak said: "We'd like to be deliberate. In Los Angeles, typically we hire coaches and they stick with us for a long time and hopefully win championships. So we'll take our time in making that decision." Kupchak在湖人出局後表示：「我們希望更加深思熟慮。在湖人，我們 聘請教練後不會輕易更換人選。所以我們希望不要急著作出決定。」 Lakers co-captain Derek Fisher and veteran forward Luke Walton have joined Bryant in registering support for Shaw, but it remains to be seen if the Busses are prepared to replace the most successful coach in history with a first-time NBA head coach. 湖人隊長Fisher與前鋒老手Luke Walton也加入Kobe一同支持Shaw就任 新教練，但老闆Buss家族是否願意以一名新秀教練替代NBA史上最成功 的教練，這點尚有待觀察。 Adelman, 64, has never won a championship and is best remembered in Lakerland as coach of the Sacramento team that took a 3-2 series lead over L.A. in the heated and controversial 2002 Western Conference finals before the Kings lost in seven games. But his reputation as a player's coach with a pleasing-to-the-eye offense would appear to make him a better fit than other top veteran coaches available -- such as Van Gundy, Jerry Sloan or Larry Brown -- because of the Buss family's well-known fondness for entertaining basketball. 現年64歲的Adelman雖然從未抱得冠軍金盃，但就湖人角度來看，他在 2002年西區決賽率領國王隊以3:2優勢領先湖人隊，雖然最後七戰落敗 ，但其事蹟依然深植人心。而他向來被視為贏得球員芳心的教練，也擅 於執教賞心悅目的進攻，讓他顯得比市場上任何老牌教練──諸如Van Gundy、Jerry Sloan或Larry Brown──都更適合這支球隊，因為Buss 家族向來偏好具娛樂性的籃球打法。 In four seasons with the injury-plagued Rockets, Adelman posted a record of 193-135 for a .588 winning percentage and helped Houston extend the Lakers to seven games in the second round of the 2009 playoffs despite the absence of Yao Ming for most of the series. Adelman's career record is 945-616, which puts him eighth in all-time victories and includes two trips to the NBA Finals with Portland, as well as one unsuccessful stint with Golden State between his jobs with the Blazers and Kings. 在他執教傷病纏繞的火箭隊的四年內，Adelman打造出193勝135敗、勝 率0.588的戰績，也在2009年季後賽與湖人一路血戰至第七場比賽，儘 管頭號戰將姚明在大半系列戰中高掛免戰牌。Adelman執教生涯戰績為 945勝616敗，在NBA史上排名第八，並率領拓荒者隊兩度打入NBA決賽， 而在他執教拓荒者與國王之間，曾在勇士隊有過一次不成功的執教經驗。 -- │ http://movie.yatta.com.tw/│亞達電影館 │ 臉書粉絲團│http://www.facebook.com/YattaMovie │ -- ※ 編輯: Quiff 來自: 118.167.244.221 (05/13 09:16)
