Popovich already training for 2020 Olympics
by Joe Wolfond
The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo may seem a long way off to some, but for
Team USA's soon-to-be head coach Gregg Popovich, there's no such thing as too
much preparation.
2020年东京奥运看来似乎还很遥远，但下一任教练波波维奇已经开始做准备了。
What's perhaps more surprising is that Popovich - one of the most venerated
tacticians in NBA history - is focusing not on X's and O's, but on his body.
更令人惊讶的是，这位NBA史上令人尊敬的战术家，专注的不是战术，而是他的身体。
The San Antonio Spurs bench boss is determined to be as fit as his Team USA
players in Tokyo, and has recently dropped 37 pounds, according to ESPN's
Jackie MacMullan.
根据ESPN记者MacMullan报导，波波最近减了37磅(约16.78kg)体重。
Spurs president R.C. Buford told MacMullan that Popovich runs on the
treadmill every day, flapping his arms "like a crazy Serbian.'' He's also
been building up his core strength, and says he can work the heavy training
ropes "better than half our guys.''
马刺总裁Buford告诉MacMullan记者，波波每天在跑步机上训练，挥舞着他的手臂
"就像个疯狂的塞尔维亚人"。他还努力训练核心力量，他做重绳索训练做得
"比阵中一半球员还要好"。
Popovich may be extra motivated to succeed in Tokyo, given his apparent
lingering frustration over being left off the U.S. team as a player back in
1972 - when NBAers were barred from competing.
波波维奇特别想要在东京奥运成功，可能源自于他曾经在美国队失利，1972年他曾经
受邀参加美国队试训，最终没有入选
