Bulls found a rare gem with Jim Boylen
公牛的稀有宝石，新任首席助理教练Jim Boylen

Chicago Bulls fans always have to take a double take when they read the name
Jim Boylen. After all, they all witnessed the horrificcoaching interim job Jim
Boylan did for the Bulls after Scott Skiles was fired. No. This is another Jim
Boylen, name spelled a bit differently.
当公牛球迷看到Jim Boylen的名子时他们都会在检查一次自己眼睛，尤其
当时Scott Skiles被开除后，他们经历了Jim Boylan的可怕执教，但这次
是Jim Boylen，两人拼法不太一样。
The Bulls hired Boylen as an associate head coach shortly after hiring Fred Hoi
berg. It seems Gar Forman and John Paxson are doing their best to replicate the
blueprints the Warriors used to build their championship team. Not only Fred Ho
iberg and Steve Kerr have similar style of coaching, but both coaches hired an
associate head coach; which is higher than assistant head coach.
公牛今年暑假在聘请总教练Fred Hoiberg后，马上任用Boylen为首席助教
看来公牛的GarPax管理阶层尽全力的复制金州勇士成功的经验，不只是
Hoiberg和Steve Kerr有相似的执教特质，而且两者都聘请(副总教练？)而
不是以往仅仅是助教而已。
Associate head coach generally has the full responsibility of one end of the co
urt. Alvin Gentry was responsible for the Warriors offense when he was the asso
ciate head coach. Jim Boylen was brought on board to coach the defensive side.
He was mentored by none other than the great Greg Popovich and Rudy Tomjanovich
. Boylen has said he’ll run the same defensive sets as he did with the Rockets
during their back-to-back championship run in the 90s. Greg Popovich has a kna
ck for hiring great coaches. Mike Budenholzer is the most recent success story
coming out of the Spurs coaching staff. He led the unlikely Atlanta Hawks to th
e best record in the East and making their first Eastern Conference Finals appe
arance since 1970. Becky Hammon will probably be another success story as she’
s the first female assistant coach in the history of the NBA, and she just so
happened to win the Summer League championship in her first coaching run. Jim B
oylen could be the next success story coming out of the Spurs locker room.
副总教练负责场上攻守一方，像勇士的Alvin Gentry就是负责勇士的进攻
方，而Boylen则是负责公牛的防守方，Boylen辅助过伟大的Greg Popovich
和Rudy Tomjanovich。Boylen说他会制定和当初帮助火箭拿下两座冠军一
样的防守体系。而Greg Popovich体系出来的教练更是不用多说，包括老鹰
总教练Mike Budenholzer他带领不被看好的老鹰拿下东区最佳战绩，并
助老鹰在1970后首次打入分区决赛。还有Becky Hammon除了是首位NBA女助
教外，在她第一次执教下，便带领马刺在夏季联盟拿下冠军。Jim Boylen
有机会成为下一个马刺体系出身的成功案例。
What makes Jim Boylen a rare gem in the NBA? Well, his defensive mind is well
documented by Gregg Popovich’s praise. That’s what makes him special, but the
re is one more thing that makes him rare. It’s not often a defensive minded co
ach is listed as one of the best shooting coaches at the same time. Usually, co
aches like to stick to one side of the court; you don’t have to tell that to T
om Thibodeau. However, he joined the San Antonio Spurs in 2013; Boylen was hire
d as a defensive guru and a shooting coach. Since his addition, the players on
the team shot exceptionally well compared to years past, and their defense neve
r skipped a beat.
Jim Boylen到底有什么特别呢？首先他的防守体系是得到Popo赞赏的，这
是他特别处，但他对于投篮的执教才是让他成为稀有宝石的关键。一般来
说防守擅长教练进攻方面就相对逊色，例如Tom Thibodeau，但是Boylen
2013年加入马刺团队，他被聘请为防守以及投篮助教，自从他加入后，马
刺球员的投篮命中率显著提升，而防守也还是维持以往水准。
(以下为命中率提升图)

Fred Hoiberg and Jim Boylen feel like a match made in heaven, at least on paper
they do. While we know Hoiberg is the offensive guru while Boylen will stick to
defense, Boylen playing the role as a shooting coach will help Hoiberg so much
more. Hoiberg’s entire offensive scheme is surronded by the phrase “Advanced
Analytics” which basically means gunslinging 3-point shots throughout the gam
e. Boylen would be the perfect coach to help teach these shooters how to shoot,
espeically since most of them were never taught proper offensive under Tom Thi
bodeau.
Hoiberg和Boylen看似就是天造地设的一对，至少在纸上看来是这样。我
们都知道Hoiberg在进攻方面的天赋，Boylen则会负责防守，在投篮上他也
可以帮助Hoiberg很多，Hoiberg的进攻十分仰赖三分投射，Boylen刚好可
以教导公牛球员们投篮，尤其大部分球员在当初Tom Thibodeau下根本没有
被教导适当投篮技巧。
It will be a fun and different look for the Bulls this upcoming season, and the
y hope Jim Boylen is another success story coming out of San Antonio.
公牛新赛季的比赛将会变得有趣，且是全新面貌，他们都希望Jim Boylen
是下一个马刺体系出来的成功故事。
