http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3377008 Nuggets' Karl promises to be tougher on players next season Karl承諾他下一季會對球員更加嚴格。 DENVER -- Another first-round flameout by the talented but disjointed Denver Nuggets has convinced coach George Karl he has to be tougher on his players next season. 丹佛 -- 另一支第一輪就被掃地出門的球隊，丹佛金塊說服了Karl，要他下一 季對球員要再更嚴格一點。 "I think the players have kind of done it their way more often than doing it my way," Karl said of the past two seasons. "As an organization, as a coaching staff, as a team, we're going to have to address that next year." 對於過去兩個球季，Karl說：「我想球員比較常依照他們自己的方法打球，比 較少照我的方法。身為一個組織，一個教練團，一支球隊，我們明年得更加注 意這件事情。」 The Nuggets, who lacked defensive discipline and often were reluctant to share the basketball, were swept by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, becoming the first 50-win team in NBA history to get whitewashed in the postseason. 金塊不但缺乏防守，而且有時還陷入單兵作戰，所以才會在第一輪被湖人橫掃 出局，成為NBA史上第1支50勝以上，卻在第一輪被橫掃的球隊。 Still, the team's brass has said Karl's job is safe, and Karl confirmed his intention to return next season. He has two years and $6 million left on his contract. 而球隊說Karl的教練工作是穩當的，而Karl也說下一季他會找回他的專注力， 他還有兩年600萬的合約。 "Yeah," he said. "The players, they drive me crazy, but they are also loved by me. For three or four years, we haven't figured out that journey we want, and that's winning in the playoffs. It's very frustrating. But if you look at the ledger of good and bad, the [good] side's going to be three times as long. 他說：「是的！球員老是讓我抓狂，但是我還是很喜歡他們。這三、四年來， 我們還是無法理解我們要怎樣的前進，才能在季後賽獲勝。這讓人很挫敗，但 是如果看看好跟不好的部分，好的一方則是遠大於另一方的。 "It's going to be drifting more toward my way," Karl insisted. "But I'm not going to say it's going to be demanding and dictatorial. Karl堅持：「接下來將會朝著我的方向走，但是我不會過度苛求，或是用獨裁 方式管理球隊。」 "Most of the stuff we're talking about is little things of professionalism. Being on time more often, being more committed to practice, more committed to each other, more committed to the team, more committed to the organization, more committed to doing public service. Everything." 「我和大部分的人討論有關職業精神的問題，以後要準時點，練習努力點，彼 此更團結，對球隊、組織更有向心力，更努力去做公益活動，做任何事！」 The Nuggets expect Allen Iverson back next season unless he opts out of his contract. He has said he wants to return to the Nuggets and loves playing in Denver. 金塊期待AI不要 opt-out，而選擇繼續留在金塊，他之前說過他想續留金塊， 而且他很喜歡在這裡打球。 Karl said he'll begin meeting with the team's management next week to discuss the roster. The Nuggets have the 20th pick in the draft next month, and some changes are expected in the team's $80 million-plus payroll. Karl說他下禮拜會和球隊的管理階層會面討論有關球隊陣容的事情。下個月的 選秀金塊是20順位，而預期會做一些改變讓球隊的薪資達到8000萬左右。 "Any time you're in the Western Conference and you lose in the first round, you probably anticipate some changes," he said. "And I think players anticipate some changes." 他說：「只要你在西區，然後第一輪被淘汰的球隊，你們就可能要做些改變。 而我想球員們也是這樣想的。」 -- 抱歉 翻的不好 請見諒。 --
