What was it like coaching Durant?
教导杜兰特是一个什么样的体验?
Kerr:
I love coaching Kevin. When he arrived, he was so ready to experience a differen
t style of basketball. And I think that was one of the reasons he came here. He
was obviously MVP already one of the greatest players ever, but he wanted to exp
erience the motion that we had always played with. I think he really enjoyed it.
I think he loved it and then I think by the end of the second year, that's when
it just became a little bit more of I guess, a labor, than a joy for him, it go
t difficult the Third year. It was it was more difficult to communicate with him
because he wasn't happy, but I always appreciated his heart and his Humanity. H
e's very vulnerable person and especially the first two years. He really gave of
himself to the team and was, you know, Finals MVP, both years. It was great to
coach. It was just one of those things where it just wasn't going to be a long-t
erm thing.
Kerr:
我很喜欢教导凯文。当他来到我们队伍时,他很渴望体验我们一直以来打球的方式,这也是
他来到这里的原因之一。他当时已经是MVP和史上最伟大的球员之一,我想他非常享受这种
打法,也很喜欢。但到了第二年底,这就变得更多是工作而不是乐趣了,第三年沟通也变得
比较困难,因为他并不开心。我一直都很欣赏他的善良和人情味。他是一个很脆弱的人,特
别是在前两年,他真的全力以赴为球队做贡献,两年都是FMVP。能够教导他真是太好了。只
是这种情况最终不会是长期的事情。
