Alvin Gentry Wouldn't Have Pulled Zion in Pelicans Debut 'If I Wasn't Told To'
要不是被告知的话 Alvin Gentry是不会把Zion换下场休息的
Count New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry among those who wanted to
see 2019 No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson continue his fourth-quarter hot
streak during his regular-season NBA debut against the San Antonio Spurs on
Wednesday night.
今天晚上马刺鹈鹕一战，这是Zion Williamson的NBA首战，到了第四节的时候，鹈鹕总教
练Alvin Gentry也是那些想看这位2019年选秀状元继续打下去的其中一位。
However, that decision wasn't in his hands.
然而，这决定不是他能做的。
"I'm not the brightest coach in the world, but I wouldn't have taken him out
if I wasn't told to," Gentry said following the 121-117 loss to the Spurs.
“我不是世上最聪明的教练，但是要不是被告知的话，我是不会把他换下来的，”在今晚
以121-117输给马刺后，Gentry说到。
Williamson finished the night with 22 points, seven rebounds and three
assists in 18 minutes. He went 4-of-4 from behind the arc as the Pelicans try
to ease him back into the rotation following a preseason knee injury. At one
point, the Duke product rattled off 17 straight points and briefly gave New
Orleans a lead.
今晚上场18分钟，Williamson拿下22分，7个篮板，3个助攻。三分线是投四中四，鹈鹕希
望他可以慢慢的在因为季前膝伤之后可以逐步回到轮值。在这场比赛，这位杜克出身的球
员连续替鹈鹕拿下17分，一度让鹈鹕获得了领先。
Although those in attendance at the Smoothie King Center were chanting for
more Zion down the stretch, Gentry didn't dare overrule his training staff.
尽管全场观众喊著希望Zion继续打下去，Gentry没勇气拒绝他的训练人员的建议。
"He couldn't go back in the game, so don't go there," Gentry chuckled in his
postgame press conference. "The medical people said that was it."
“他不能回到场上了，所以不用在问了，”Gentry在赛后记者会上笑个说。“医疗人员说
就是这样。”
Williamson will be re-evaluated Thursday morning, but Gentry said "there's no
reason for me to believe he won't be fine."
明天早上Williamson会再接受评估，但是Gentry说，“我没有理由相信他会有问题的。”
As for how he felt Williamson performed, he relayed what he told the rookie
phenom at halftime.
当被问到他觉得Williamson的表现，他用他中场时接受访问讲到这位菜鸟球员的说法来回
应。
"I wanted him to be aggressive. You can see there's a lot of things we can do
with him. There's a lot of potential there. There's a really, really high
ceiling that he could reach.
“我希望他要打的有侵略性，大家可以看到我们跟他可以有很多方式可以打，还有很多的
潜力可以发挥，他可以发展的极限真的很高。”
"It's his first NBA game, but the third time he went out there, I thought he
was much more comfortable and aggressive. He found out that everybody makes
mistakes and continued to play through it."
“这是他第一场NBA比赛，但是当他三度踏上场时，我认为他打得更舒适也更加侵略性。他
知道大家都会犯错，但是就是继续打下去。”
The Pelicans are back in action on Jan. 24 against the Denver Nuggets.
Barring a setback, Williamson will get another chance to dazzle both his
coach and fans across the league.
鹈鹕会在明天面对金块。尽管今天输球，Williamson将会有另一个机会让教练跟联盟粉丝
惊艳。
