Report: Knicks 'may target' Doc Rivers to replace coach Jeff Hornacek
Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers has been rumored to coach the New
York Knicks, where he was a player from 1992 until 1994.
现任洛杉矶快艇队总教练 Doc Rivers 已经被传言，将会在未来接掌他曾经在1992-1994球
员时期的老东家-纽约尼克队
Mitch Lawrence originally reported that Rivers, as many have speculated, is
indeed considered a target (via Sporting News):
根据记者 Mitch Lawrence 对于 Rivers 的报导，已经有许多人传言，Doc Rivers的确是
口袋名单之一。
“There is a growing sentiment within New York’s hierarchy to hire Rivers, a
former Knicks player, to replace Jeff Hornacek. Sources say Hornacek’s days in
New York could be over once the season ends. It hasn’t been all of his fault,
but he was brought to the Garden by former team president Phil Jackson and not
the current regime headed by Steve Mills.”
Lawrence:“感觉上现在尼克想找来 Doc Rivers 执掌兵符的可能性已经越来越高，让一位
前尼克球员取代现在的 Jeff Hornacek。消息来源指出，Hornacek在尼克的日子可能会随着
球季一起结束。这并不都是 Hornacek 的问题，但他是前朝 Phil Jackson 带进来的人，
不是现在GM Steve Mills的人。”
In a recent story by Marc Berman, he explained that those around the league do
not think Mills will bring back Hornaceck and instead view Rivers (as well as
Mark Jackson) to be the most likely candidates to replace the head coach.
近来根据 Marc Berman(纽约邮报)的报导，说明联盟中大家都不觉得 Mills 会在下一季留
下 Hornacek，反而最有可能的人选会是 Doc Rivers(或是 Mark Jackson)变成尼克新任总
教头。
Hornacek has had issues with several players this season, including Kyle O’
Quinn and Joakim Noah.
Hornacek 在本季已经有过跟队上几名球员有过嫌隙，包含 Kyle O'Quinn 和 Joakim Noah
Berman provided more detail on these highly tense moments, noting that even
mild-mannered Kristaps Porzingis had been upset as well (via New York Post):
此外 Berman 还指出更多关于这方面的消息，即便是像 Kristaps Porzingis 这样温和脾气
的人，也已经对他十分不爽。
“According to an NBA source, the Noah-O’Quinn shouting incidents weren’t the
first time the lame-duck Knicks coach got profanities thrown his way by a
Knicks player. The source told The Post that late last season, Kristaps
Porzingis, normally the politest of souls, cursed out Hornacek during a
practice, using the F-word.”
Berman:“根据一则来自NBA的消息，Noah、O'Quinn对着无能总教练开干的事件已经不
是第一次。上一季尾声 Porzingis 这位本质超有礼貌的人，用"F"开头的字眼在球队练习
时臭骂 Jeff Hornacek。”
This is not the first time Berman linked Rivers to the potential vacancy. In an
article that was published last month, a former associate of the Clippers head
coach said it is “not far-fetched” to believe Rivers would have interest in
the gig.
这已经不是第一次 Berman 提到 Rivers 是尼克总教练的潜在人选，一则上个月公开的文章
中指出，与现任快艇队总教练合作的前团队成员说这不是空穴来风，代表可能 Rivers 也同
样对于这个职位感到兴趣。
He reportedly respects the city and the organization as well as players on the
team like Tim Hardaway Jr. and Porzingis.
据报导，Rivers也相当看重这个城市、球团以及球员像是 Tim Hardaway Jr.和Porzingis。
Rivers has long praised Porzingis, noting in January 2016 that he thought the
Latvian-born star was “going to be special” due to his immense skill set.
Rivers从过去都一直很激赏 Porzingis，最早可以追溯到2016的1月时，他曾说这位来自
拉脱维亚的明星一定会"鹤立鸡群"，因为他所拥有的功力技巧深不见底。
When the big man tore his ACL earlier this season, the Los Angeles head coach
noted that it could hurt recruiting other players to play for the Knicks (via
Newsday):
当这位长人本季初期受到ACL撕裂伤时，Rivers表示这将对于尼克招募其他球员带来负面影
响。
“He brings other people. The better he plays the more people want to play with
him … Not having him and not knowing when he’ll be back that hurts more than
just this year. To me that’s where that injury hurts them the most.”
Rivers:“他可以吸引其他人加入，他打得越好，就会有越多人想要跟他一起打球。伤退加
上他因不只今年的伤，让球队不知道他的归期，在我来看这才是对球队最不利的地方。”
During the most recent offseason, Porzingis tweeted (then deleted) a cryptic
message about the Clippers that included a happy face.
在本季开始前的休赛季期间，Porzingis曾推特(后来删掉)一则神秘兮兮的讯息，内容包含
快艇加上一个笑脸。
While it’s unclear what any deal would look like, Rivers would likely bring
former Knicks player and coach Mike Woodson with him to the staff in New York.
现在还不清楚到底届时的实际情况，Rivers可能会把前任尼克球员兼总教练 Mike Woodson
找回来一起重返纽约。
Woodson is currently an assistant for Rivers in Los Angeles but the two have
long been associated with the Knicks.
Woodson现在是快艇队的助理教练，但彼此的合作关系，早在尼克时期就开始了。
