Danny Ainge on Rajon Rondo: Is he good enough to behave the way he does?
April 9, 2015

Rajon Rondo has a reputation for being one of the most difficult players in
the NBA to coach. Some even believe he is one of the main reasons Doc Rivers
chose to leave Boston. No matter how well he plays, that reputation continues
to follow Rondo wherever he goes.
对教练来说，Rajon Rondo是NBA最难执教的球员之一。
有些人甚至相信，当初Doc Rivers离开波士顿，主要原因之一就出在Rondo身上。
不管他球打得再好、去了哪里，这样的标签会一直跟随Rondo。
One person who knows Rondo very well is Celtics president of basketball
operations Danny Ainge. In a lengthy feature about Rondo that was written by
ESPN.com’s Baxter Holmes, Ainge spoke about the veteran point guard.
最了解Rondo的莫过于赛尔提克总管Danny Ainge，
近日在接受ESPN记者Baxter Holmes采访时，Ainge谈到了这位昔日旧将。
“He doesn’t like to be told what to do,” Ainge said. “He wants to be
coached, but when you coach him, you’d better know what you’re talking
about. And even then, he still may challenge you. The question always was, ‘
Is he a good enough player to behave the way he does?'”
Ainge表示：
“Rondo不喜欢别人去告诉他该怎么做，
他本身希望被指导，但当你真的要教他时，你最好先确定自己在说什么。
那怕你是胸有成竹，可尽管那样，他还是会不断去质疑你、挑战你。
问题在于：他有好到可以让他想干嘛就干嘛的地步吗？”
Ainge is not the first person to raise that question. Rondo is one of the
better point guards in the league, but he has arguably the biggest ego.
Unlike Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul, he’s not really capable of carrying
a team without a lot of help. Had it not been for Ainge assembling the Big
Three, you have to wonder what Rondo’s legacy would look like.
Ainge并不是唯一有这种疑问的人，Rondo是联盟中的好控卫之一。
但是他太以自我为中心了。
不像西河和CP3，在没有其他助力之下，他无法证明他能一肩扛起球队。
若不是Ainge组了三巨头，你还不知道现在的Rondo会变怎样。
The entire piece from Holmes is worth reading. It includes insight from
former coaches and teammates and provides a better understanding of who Rondo
is — beyond the guy that has exploded on coaches before and is one of the
best passers in the game.
这份采访很值得深入阅读，内容包含了前教练以及前队友对Rondo的看法及评价，
提供了不同的角度去了解Rondo，除了了解他和教练之间的摩擦之外，
也能去了解他为何是比赛中最好的传球者。
“He always thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, even if he isn’t,”
one Celtics insider told Holmes.
一位赛尔提克内部人士就透露：
“Rondo老是以为自己是更衣室里最聪明的人，即便他其实不是。”
