Frank Vogel was not the Los Angeles Lakers' first choice for head coach, but
he was the perfect man for the job.
Frank Vogel不是洛杉矶湖人队总教练的首选，但他却是这份工作的完美人选。
Vogel helped lead the Lakers to the championship, no small feat given the
2019-20 season's turbulence. For the Lakers, that included the Daryl
Morey-China preseason controversy, Kobe Bryant's tragic death, the pandemic,
and then the bubble.
Vogel 帮助带领着湖人队夺得了总冠军，有鉴于2019-20赛季的动荡不安，这绝非易事。
对湖人来说，所谓的“动荡不安”数字，涵盖了 Daryl Morey 和中国的季前争议，
Kobe Bryant 的悲剧事故，武汉肺炎的疫情大流行，以及身处隔离园区的挑战。
While the Lakers were led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the best
superstar pairing in the NBA, and a rock-solid defense, even Lakers players
believe their roster wouldn't have worked without Vogel's leadership.
纵然湖人队由 LeBron James 和 Anthony Davis，
这两位可以说是全联盟最好的超级巨星组合率领，并且打出了坚若磐石的防守，
然而即使是湖人球员自身都相信，如果不是 Vogel的带领，
他们的这套阵容很可能不会如此奏效。
"If Frank Vogel wasn't the coach, I don't know if it would have worked,"
veteran Lakers forward Jared Dudley said on Bill Simmons' podcast. "I don't
know if he gets enough credit."
“如果不是 Frank Vogel 担任教练，我不敢确定事情是不是会这么顺利，”
湖人阵中的老鸟前锋 Jared Dudley 在 Bill Simmons' podcast 的节目上这么说，
“我不知道他是否已经获得他该有的赞誉。”
Dudley said that Vogel had no ego and knew how to manage the roster,
including star players, role players, and several big personalities. For
instance, Dudley said that Vogel would sometimes let arguments between
players go on until they died down, rather than interrupting, which Dudley
said other coaches would do because of their egos.
Dudley 阐述 Vogel 的领军风格毫不自负，并且熟知如何去管理球队阵容，
包含明星球员，角色球员，其中包括数名会使人留下强烈印象的个人风格者。
举例来说，Dudley 说 Vogel 有时候会选择让球员之间的争论继续下去直到尘埃落定，
而不是选择出声打断。
Dudley 表示有些其他的教练，会因为他们身为教练的自负而做不到这种事。
Vogel's preparation wowed players
Vogel 的事前准备让球员们惊叹不已
Dudley said Vogel's scouting reports were the best he's seen in his 13
seasons in the NBA.
Dudley 说，Vogel的球探报告是他在 NBA 征战13个赛季以来见过最好的。
"The preparation we had was phenomenal," Dudley said. "The best I've had in
the league, and I've been with great coaches."
“他进行的事前准备是非常了不起的，” Dudley 说。
“是我在这个联盟经历过最好的，你要知道我是在不少出色教练底下打过球的。”
Dudley said the Lakers didn't practice often, so their film sessions were
crucial. In the bubble, Dudley said the Lakers would have information on all
of their opponents, from how many times a player would drive per game, which
direction they would go, how many dribbles they would take before shots, and
more.
Dudley 说湖人队并不常排正式球队练习，所以他们的影像会议在其中扮演关键。
在隔离园区当中，Dudley 说湖人球员可以获得关于他们对手的一切讯息，
从一名球员在单场比赛会选择切入的次数，到他们会从什么方向切入，
他们在出手前会惯性运球几下等等，除此之外还有更多细节。
"I just thought the preparation was top-tier."
“我只能认为我们的事前准备工作是第一流的。”
Dudley said while facing the Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the
playoffs, the Lakers players got such detailed scouting reports that James
actually applauded the report.
Dudley 说在季后赛第一轮面对波特兰拓荒者之时，
湖人队的球员都拿到了这般钜细靡遗的球探报告，而 James 事实上对报告大表赞赏。
"I remember LeBron clapping it up, like, 'That's a hell of a scout. That's a
hell of a job.'
"You don't see that too often, how thorough they were."
“我记得 LeBron 还鼓了鼓掌，就像是在说
‘亏你们能够侦查到这种地步，肯定是极为大量的工作量’。”
“你不会很常看到这种程度的内容，说明报告内容到底有多么的彻底。”
Vogel got LeBron to buy-in right away
Vogel 立即就获得了 LeBron 的支持
The Lakers' first choice for head coach was Tyronn Lue, the Cleveland
Cavaliers' head coach when they won the 2016 championship. However, they lost
out on Lue when they reportedly low-balled him on money and contract length.
湖人队总教练本来的第一选择是 Tyronn Lue，
他是当克里夫兰骑士赢得 2016年总冠军时，当时骑士队的总教练。
然而他们因为低估了 Lue 对于价码，以及合约长度的要求而失去了这名人选。
After interviewing Monty Williams, who took the Phoenix Suns coaching staff,
the Lakers hired Vogel. They named Jason Kidd, who also interviewed for the
head-coaching job and reportedly impressed, as the lead assistant, leaving
many to believe Vogel would have Kidd breathing down his neck.
在访谈过后来接任凤凰城太阳队总教练的 Monty Williams 之后，
湖人队最后聘请了 Vogel。
而他们同时任命了 Jason Kidd 担任首席助教，
他同样了也参与了总教练职位的竞逐。而且据说内容令人印象深刻。
这让很多人都相信，Kidd的存在绝对会让 Vogel 战战兢兢。
Such circumstances wouldn't necessarily lead to a productive start for a new
head coach, but Vogel landed on his feet, thanks, in part, to James's buy-in.
这样的局势对一个全新走马上任的总教练来说可不是什么好的开头，
但是 Vogel还是站稳了脚步，部分原因，是要多亏了 James对他表达的支持。
James attended Vogel's introductory press conference — an important display
of support.
James 亲自出席了介绍新科教练 Vogel的新闻发表会 － 这是一次强力支持的表现。
According to ESPN's Zach Lowe, James and the team practiced hard during
training camp, going through drills at full-speed, diving on the floor for
loose balls, and competing with one another. James was motivated, and whether
it was from missing the playoffs in 2018-19, or perhaps from acquiring Davis
in the offseason, he followed Vogel's order.
根据 ESPN 的 Zach Lowe报导，James 和整支球队在训练营中进行了相当艰苦的训练，
使用最高速去完成那些训练课题，在场上全力冲刺，争球，并且全力和彼此对抗。
James 也表现得很有动力，不管是因为他错过了 2018-19 的季后赛，
也或许是因为球队在休赛季延揽了 Davis加盟，他都遵循着 Vogel 给予的指令。
According to Lowe, Vogel was not afraid to call out James in film sessions,
and James would accept it and correct it on the floor.
根据 Lowe 的说法，Vogel并不怕在影像会议上指摘王牌球员 James ，
而 James 会接受教练的指正，并且在球场上做出改正。
Such buy-in has a ripple effect on teammates. Vogel, a coach known for his
defensive principles, had everyone on the team focused and excited about the
defense.
James 对教练表现出这样的支持，很快的就对队友产生了连锁反应。
Vogel ，作为一名以贯彻防守原则著称的教练，
让队上的每一个人在防守端都保持专注，并对于防守任务感到兴奋。
Vogel was on Lowe's podcast "The Lowe Post" and spoke about coaching his way
instead of appeasing anyone on the team.
Vogel 在 Lowe 的广播节目 "The Lowe Post" 曾经谈到，
他的教练方式并非是去讨好团队中的任何人。
"My family, having moved around a lot, and this being my third head-coaching
job, I really just wanted to go for it. I wanted to lay it all out there and
be unafraid and really coach my way. Because a lot of times, you get coaching
jobs in the NBA, and you want to bend to appease your front office, you're
going to bend to appease your players. Sometimes you don't always get to
coach your way for various reasons — you want the job security, you want to
not have to move your family, all these types of things. My family and I had
been through a lot, so I was going to do it my way and live with the results."
“我全家的人，已经跟着我到处搬家好多次，
这是我第三份的总教练职位，我真的想要的，就是努力完成我的任务。
我想要把我的所学展现出来，并且毫不害怕的，真正的用我的方式来执教。”
“因为有很多时候，你得到了 NBA 的教练工作，
所以你就想要讨好管理阶层，你想要弯下腰讨好你的球员。
有的时候，你总是因为各式各样的原因，没有办法贯彻你自己的执教方式－
你想要保持工作稳定，你想要自己的家庭不用颠沛流离到处搬家，诸如此类原因。”
“我全家人和我都已经经历过许多了，
所以我将贯彻我的方式去做，然后我会欣然接受这样做带来的结果。”
就差那么一点点湖人请的就是 Tyronn Lue
