http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=aw-rockets041707 火箭最近火熱的表現 很多媒體都認為火箭在季後賽是支危險的球隊 Van Gundy 對這樣看法的回應 他和球員談過 形容我們是支危險的球隊 意思就是指"我們是二流球隊 不夠強到足以贏得 冠軍" 我們目標不是贏第一輪而已 我們要成為"能奪冠的球隊" "I have this running dialogue with my team about this," Van Gundy said. "We're given the ultimate backhanded compliment. People in the league say, 'They can be dangerous in the playoffs,' meaning, 'They're not good enough to win.' Translated, that's what it means. Nobody says Phoenix can be dangerous, nobody says Miami can be dangerous, nobody says San Antonio can be dangerous. We're labeled with a backhanded compliment that we can be dangerous." "Winning a round in the playoffs is not a step forward," Van Gundy declared. "There's no momentum season to season in the NBA. You watched with the Clippers this year.They supposedly had all this momentum after winning a round last year , and they're going to be back in the lottery. To me, this isn't about winning a playoff series so talk show hosts don't say it anymore. It's about building a championship-caliber team." 另外文章中也有談到Van Gundy對TMAC的看法 他過去不了解為什麼Don Nelson提到像Tim Hardaway這樣球員 在場上要讓他自由發揮 直到他執教火箭 他才明瞭"天才就是要讓他自由發揮 才能讓他發揮極致" 所以有時TMAC無俚頭在三分線乾拔出手 他不會過於苛責 因為TMAC就是這樣的天才型球員 This is the reason Van Gundy has come to understand the words of his old boss with the Knicks,Don Nelson,who would always say about his old star Tim Hardaway , "You've got to give him his head." For months as an assistant in 1996, Van Gundy heard Nelson talking about Hardaway this way, as well as different, daring players throughout the sport. "And I never asked him for clarification, like, 'What the [bleep] do you mean by that?' "You've got to give him his head"?" "So finally when I coached a guy like McGrady, who was intelligent but needed freedom, that's what he meant." For Van Gundy, he had to let go with McGrady to ultimately pull him in tighter. "When he comes down and jacks a three, you can't micromanage that shot," Van Gundy said. "He'll take a couple every game that are just Whoa, what is that?. But if you look over the course of the game, the course of the season, he needs that freedom to play at his very best. You can't give that to an unintelligent basketball player; only to a player with a high IQ like McGrady has." --
