Deron Williams is Enjoying PJ Carlesimo’s Coaching The Avery Johnson/Deron Williams relationship did not end well at all. The Brooklyn Nets point guard is having a much better time with his new coach, PJ Carlesimo. Williams says the system — which he was critical of during Johnson ’s tenure — hasn’t changed much, but Carlesimo’s personality and approach has won him the respect and admiration of the locker room. Per the NY Post: “ He’s been great for us so far, and I think all the guys responded well to him. I think all the guys like him. He’s done a great job coaching us,’ said Williams, who is averaging 20 points per game and 8.8 assists during the Nets’ four-game winning streak heading into tonight’s game against the Suns at Barclays Center. ‘We lost a head coach, but then we gained another one. He’s coached a lot of teams in this league as a head coach. Like I said, he’s doing a great job.’ Williams had taken shots at Johnson’s system, and the latter was fired soon after. Other than having Williams run a few more pick-and-rolls with Brook Lopez, Carlesimo hasn’t changed much. But the Nets are 6-1 under him and averaging 102.9 points per game, after going 14-14 under Johnson and averaging 94.5. ‘They just have different styles, different coaches, different ways they like to do things,’ Williams said. ‘ Our system hasn’t changed much, our defensive principles haven’t really changed much. It’s just how we practice and how we prepare is just a different style. P.J. and Avery have different personalities. … [Carlesimo] gets after it. He’s yelling all practice, all game. But I think guys respect it because he’s a straight shooter. … He’s pretty hilarious. When he’s yelling, it’s still funny. [But] he does a great job of balancing it. It’s not like he’s just screaming all the time. He’s doing a good job of teaching us as well.’ For his part, Carlesimo insists he has changed as little as possible, for continuity’s sake. ‘I think you kind of get a trickle down as you go forward. You make little tweaks here or there,’ Carlesimo said. ‘The system is a very good system that Avery put in, that some of these guys have been running for a couple of years. One of the strengths of San Antonio for years and the teams that were really good for a long time, the rosters didn’t change that much. We had the same 10 or 11 of the 14 or 15 coming back every year. [Spurs coach Gregg Popovich] had an expression, he called ‘corporate knowledge.’ We’re just developing corporate knowledge. … I’m a big fan of that same continuity. I like less changes and more continuity.’” 　北京時間1月12日，據ESPN報導，自從接替“小將軍” Avery Johnson擔任布魯克林籃網隊的臨時主帥以來， P.J.-Carlesimo率隊打出了6勝1負的佳績，這也是繼2003-04賽季 的7勝0負之後起步最好的籃網主帥。 儘管財大氣粗的網隊依然在尋找大牌主帥，候選者包括禪師和范甘迪兄弟等在內， 但是據球隊內部人士反映，管理層對Carlesimo上任後的表現很滿意， 因此他很有可能帶隊至本賽季結束。 　　“P.J.做得很棒，儘管球隊經歷了很多的波折， 但是能夠重新回到正軌，他的功勞很大。” 一名網隊的內部人士向ESPN透露道。 　　取得如此佳績，Carlesimo本人也是更加充滿自信。 “我認為每一位元教練都會堅信自己是最棒的那一個。 所以我當然相信自己是這個位置的最佳人選。”他說道。 　　Carlesimo自從擔任網隊臨時主帥以來之所以能夠那麼順利， 很重要的一個原因是得到了球隊核心控衛德隆-威廉姆斯的力挺。 要知道在“小將軍”被炒之前，小胖曾抨擊過他的戰術體系。 儘管Carlesimo上任後基本延續了“小將軍”的戰術理念， 但是德隆的反應卻是大不一樣。 　　“至今為止，他的表現很出色，隊員們對他的印象都很好，大家很喜歡他。” 小胖如此評價Carlesimo，“他是一個經驗豐富的教練， 就像我剛才說的，他做得真的很棒。” 在過去四場比賽裡，小胖突然爆發，場均能得到20分和8.8次助攻， 並帶領網隊取得四連勝。換句話說，Carlesimo的上任不僅幫助網隊暫時走出困境， 同時也大大激發了德隆的活力。 當評價Carlesimo和Avery Johnson之間的不同點時，德隆這樣說道： “他們的風格完全不同，處理問題的方式也不一樣。 雖然我們的戰術體系並沒有發生太大的改變， 但平時的訓練以及準備比賽的方式不同了。” 他倆的個性差別很大，P.J.也常常在訓練和比賽中對我們大聲吼叫， 但我們很尊重他，因為他就是這樣一個直來直往的人。 而且當他大聲吼叫的時候，樣子非常可愛。 最重要的是，他很幽默，是一個懂得去平衡的人。 他會用一種容易讓人接受的方式向我們灌輸 他的戰術理念，而不是只會一味地大聲叫駡。” 在Carlesimo的執教下，籃網的場均得分一下子上升到102.9分， 比“小將軍”執教時多了8.4分。 此外，球隊的投籃命中率也從43.8%提升到46.6%。 我很感激avery把我帶到籃網隊的教練組，並讓我得到展示自己的機會。” 雖然Carlesimo知道自己目前還未轉正，但是對於將來，他卻顯得非常樂觀。 我不會去想未來會發生什麼，我所知道的是， 現在全隊上下都非常努力，希望這股勢頭可以繼續保持下去。” http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2013/01/deron-williams-is-enjoying-pj-carlesimos-coaching/ --
