马刺队的制服组有个惯性:“六月工作,七月打包。”
从助理教练到制服组,每一年都有很多人才离开圣城,追求更高的职位
或更好的薪资。Pop和Buford鼓励他们这么做,也为他们感到开心,因为就
Sam Presti(雷霆总管)、Coach Bud(老鹰教练)等人来说,他们不只是马刺的
雇员,更是好朋友,他们值得追求这些升迁与加薪的机会。
现在也有一位教练面临挖角,但状况却与众不同,因为他,Chip Engelland,
是一位与众不同的教练。
SAN ANTONIO — The Spurs' staff has had a routine. Work in June, pack in July.
Assistants in the front office and coaching staff have annually left San
Antonio for a better title and a better salary elsewhere. Gregg Popovich and
R.C. Buford have encouraged them and been happy for them, because people such
as Sam Presti and Mike Budenholzer were not employees. They were friends who
deserved to move up and get an opportunity with another franchise.
But the situation involving the latest is unique.
Because Chip Engelland is unique.
套句Doc Rivers常说的话,NBA是个零和游戏,最基本的篮球动作决定了结果:
投篮,投进者赢球,投失者输球。虽然如此,值得注意的是多数球团并未特别钻研
"入球"的机制。确实各队教练们都有一套投篮练习,然而球员学到的多半只是小技巧
