Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai says basketball players are ‘very difficult’
to manage
篮网队老板蔡崇信说篮球运动员“很难”管理
Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai has apparently come to the conclusion that
maintaining control of the team’s players is a difficult task.
篮网队老板蔡崇信显然已经得出结论，保持对球队球员的控制是一项艰钜的任务。
Tsai, who is also the executive vice chairman of Alibaba Group, offered those
thoughts on Wednesday during the BEYOND Expo 2023 technology conference in
Macao.
“Believe me, I manage a basketball team and the players are very difficult
to manage,” said Tsai. “If you’re in Hollywood, it’s very, very difficult
to manage people.”
周三，在澳门举行的 BEYOND Expo 2023 科技大会上，同时担任阿里巴巴集团执行副主席
的蔡崇信提出了这些想法。
“相信我，我管理著一支篮球队，然后这些球员很难管理”“如果你在好莱坞，管理人是
非常非常困难的。”
The context for Tsai’s remarks was a discussion involving artificial
intelligence (AI) and how it will affect the entertainment industry.
蔡发言的背景是一场涉及人工智能 (AI) 及其将如何影响娱乐业的讨论。
Tsai first purchased 49 percent of the Nets in 2018 and then assumed full
ownership of the team a year later. As the team’s owner, he’s experienced
plenty of excitement as well as uncomfortable moments because of the franchise
’s personnel.
In 2019, the Nets signed free agent guard Kyrie Irving and also acquired
forward Kevin Durant in a sign-and-trade deal with the Golden State Warriors.
The Durant acquisition was notable since it was already known that Durant’s
Achilles injury would likely cause him to miss the entire 2019-20 season.
Upon Durant’s return in the 2020-21 season, the Nets completed a blockbuster
deal in January 2021 to acquire guard James Harden. That deal offered Nets
fans hope that the trio of superstars would help deliver the franchise its
first NBA title.
蔡在2018年首次购买了篮网队49% 的股份，然后在一年后获得了球队的全部所有权。作
为球队的老板，由于球队的人员，他经历了很多兴奋和不舒服的时刻。
2019年，篮网队签下了自由球员后卫KI，并与勇士签换获得了前锋KD。KD的获得值得注
意，因为众所周知KD的跟腱受伤可能会导致他错过整个 2019-20 赛季。
KD在20-21赛季回归后，篮网队在2021年1月完成了一笔重磅交易，取得了后卫
哈登。这笔交易让篮网队球迷希望这三位超级巨星能够帮助球队获得第一个 NBA 总
冠军。
That vision never materialized, thanks to a number of different issues. Most
prominent among those concerns was the controversial decision by Irving to
not receive the COVID-19 vaccination. Due to a New York City vaccine mandate,
Irving was prevented from playing in home games on the Nets’ home court at
Barclays Center for a decent amount of the 2021-22 season.
Irving was actually held out of Nets games for the first three months of the
2021-22 season. Tsai then partially rescinded his decision and allowed Irving
to play in road contests.
Eventually, the vaccine mandate was eased, allowing Irving to play in all
games.
由于许多不同的问题，这一愿景从未实现。这些担忧中最突出的是KI有争议的不接受
COVID-19 疫苗接种的决定。由于纽约市的疫苗接种政策，KI在21-22赛季的大部分
时间里都无法在巴克莱中心的篮网队主场参加主场比赛。
欧文实际上在 2021-22 赛季的前三个月没有参加篮网队的比赛。蔡然后部分撤销了他的决
定，并允许KI参加客场。
最终，疫苗政策被放宽，允许KI参加所有比赛。
Harden was never able to establish the right chemistry with the Nets and got
traded to the Philadelphia 76ers just a year after getting acquired by
Brooklyn. The key player the Nets received, Ben Simmons, has been a
disappointment due to his own batch of controversies and health struggles.
哈登从未能够与篮网队建立正确的化学反应，并在被布鲁克林取得仅一年后就被交易到费
城76人队。由于西门自己的一系列争议和健康问题，篮网队获得的关键球员西门一直令
人失望。
This season, Irving was suspended after he shared a controversial video on
social media. The Nets later traded him to the Dallas Mavericks.
Durant also dealt with injuries during his time with the Nets. Last
offseason, he asked to be traded, a request that was eventually granted this
past February.
With the Nets looking ahead to the future, Tsai’s effort to get the right
players in the lineup remains a stiff challenge. His management skills will
continue to be tested, though acquiring talented players that deliver remains
a high priority.
本赛季，KI在社交媒体上分享了一段有争议的影片后被禁赛。篮网队后来将他交易到达拉
斯独行队。
KD在篮网队期间也受到了伤病的困扰。上个休赛期，他要求被交易，这一请求最终在
今年 2 月被同意。
展望篮网的未来，蔡要在阵容中找到合适的球员仍然是一个严峻的挑战。他的管理技能将
继续受到考验，尽管获得有天赋的球员仍然是当务之急。
