Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says Manu Ginobili is ‘too smart’ to be a coach
马刺教练Gregg Popovich说Manu Ginobili太聪明 没办法当教练
After 16 seasons playing for one of the greatest coaches in NBA history and
helping to form one of the most successful runs of any franchises in sports
in the last two decades, it would seem that Manu Ginobili would fare well in
life after basketball.
在替NBA史上最伟大的教练之一打球16年，帮助马刺球团在过去20年内建立了运动界里几个
成功职业运动之一，看起来Manu Ginobili要跟篮球说掰掰了。
But despite being known for his tremendous work ethic and basketball IQ,
Ginobili is actually “too smart” to be a head coach, according to Gregg
Popovich:
尽管Manu以他的工作伦理以及篮球球商闻名，但是，根据Gregg Popovich的说法，
Ginobili实际上太过聪明，没办法当教练。
"Pop said Manu is “too smart” to be a coach. Said Manu told him he doesn’t
want to coach. Pop said if Manu does decide to stay in the game, he can see
him go into management or scouting."
“Popo说Manu太聪明了，没办法当教练。Popo说Manu跟他讲说他不想当教练。若是他想继
续在篮球界里，Popo说他会觉得Manu会去制服组或者当球探。”
Manu will have his jersey retired tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers,
officially capping a professional basketball playing career that lasted 19
seasons including the three years that he spent in the EuroLeague. Having
given nearly half of his life to the game, one can only guess what life after
basketball will entail for Ginobili.
Manu的球衣会在今晚马刺对决骑士的晚上退休，正式宣告他19年的职业篮球生涯，包括了3
年在欧洲打球的时间，正式画下句点。在他近一半的人生都在篮球界奋斗后，大家会猜想
到底在退休后Manu的生活会是如何。
However, Ginobili has iterated to Popovich and former teammates that he does
not want to coach, so if is to stay in the game he would likely move into a
front office role.
然而，Manu跟Popo以及其他前队友讲过，他不想当教练，所以若他真的想要继续在篮球界
里，那他可能就真的要去制服组里了。
The two-time All-Star and former Sixth Man of the Year was renowned
throughout NBA circles for his professionalism, court vision and–of course–
popularizing the “Eurostep” that is now employed by some of the game’s
elite superstars.
这两届全明星以及年度第六人以他的篮球专业，场上视野，以及他带起风潮的"欧洲步"在
NBA界里为人所知，尤其欧洲步现在被一些NBA明星球员广为采用。
Popovich was already a championship-winning coach with San Antonio before
Ginobili came into the league, but his entire system focused around post
touches for Tim Duncan and Hall of Fame center David Robinson.
Popo在Ginobili进入NBA前就已经带领马刺拿到冠军了，但是他的体系主要是围绕Tim
Duncan跟名人堂中锋David Robinson的低位战术。
But in a recent interview that the Spurs posted to their Twitter account,
Duncan said:
但是在最近一次马刺球团在推特上放了一段影片，Duncan说：
“Instead of Pop changing people and breaking people of habits and having
them conforming to what the Spurs did, Manu went the opposite direction,”
Duncan said. “He kind of broke the system.”
“不像Popo会改变人，打破他们的习惯，让他们变成马刺体系，Manu则是相反，”Duncan
说。“他有点是打破这个体系。”
In a way, Ginobili’s individualism allowed the likes of Tony Parker and
Kawhi Leonard to flourish as All-Star players under Popovich, which has
helped the Spurs continue to achieve success throughout the years.
总而言之，Ginobili的独特性让像是Tony Parker跟Kawhi Leonard这样的的球员逐渐成长
成全明星等级，这也帮助了马刺在过去这段期间可以持续进步，达成目标。
