Dudley 解釋 Frank Vogel 教練出色之處 - NBA

https://reurl.cc/m9YjbV


Frank Vogel was not the Los Angeles Lakers' first choice for head coach, but
he was the perfect man for the job.

Frank Vogel不是洛杉磯湖人隊總教練的首選，但他卻是這份工作的完美人選。


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 幫助帶領著湖人隊奪得了總冠軍，有鑑於2019-20賽季的動盪不安，這絕非易事。

對湖人來說，所謂的「動盪不安」數字，涵蓋了 Daryl Morey 和中國的季前爭議，
Kobe Bryant 的悲劇事故，武漢肺炎的疫情大流行，以及身處隔離園區的挑戰。


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.

縱然湖人隊由 LeBron James 和 Anthony Davis，
這兩位可以說是全聯盟最好的超級巨星組合率領，並且打出了堅若磐石的防守，

然而即使是湖人球員自身都相信，如果不是 Vogel的帶領，
他們的這套陣容很可能不會如此奏效。


"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 擔任教練，我不敢確定事情是不是會這麼順利，」

湖人陣中的老鳥前鋒 Jared Dudley 在 Bill Simmons' podcast 的節目上這麼說，

「我不知道他是否已經獲得他該有的讚譽。」



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 闡述 Vogel 的領軍風格毫不自負，並且熟知如何去管理球隊陣容，
包含明星球員，角色球員，其中包括數名會使人留下強烈印象的個人風格者。

舉例來說，Dudley 說 Vogel 有時候會選擇讓球員之間的爭論繼續下去直到塵埃落定，
而不是選擇出聲打斷。

Dudley 表示有些其他的教練，會因為他們身為教練的自負而做不到這種事。




Vogel's preparation wowed players
Vogel 的事前準備讓球員們驚嘆不已


Dudley said Vogel's scouting reports were the best he's seen in his 13
seasons in the NBA.

Dudley 說，Vogel的球探報告是他在 NBA 征戰13個賽季以來見過最好的。


"The preparation we had was phenomenal," Dudley said. "The best I've had in
the league, and I've been with great coaches."


「他進行的事前準備是非常了不起的，」 Dudley 說。

「是我在這個聯盟經歷過最好的，你要知道我是在不少出色教練底下打過球的。」



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 說湖人隊並不常排正式球隊練習，所以他們的影像會議在其中扮演關鍵。
在隔離園區當中，Dudley 說湖人球員可以獲得關於他們對手的一切訊息，

從一名球員在單場比賽會選擇切入的次數，到他們會從什麼方向切入，
他們在出手前會慣性運球幾下等等，除此之外還有更多細節。



"I just thought the preparation was top-tier."

「我只能認為我們的事前準備工作是第一流的。」



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 說在季後賽第一輪面對波特蘭拓荒者之時，
湖人隊的球員都拿到了這般鉅細靡遺的球探報告，而 James 事實上對報告大表讚賞。


"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."

「我記得 LeBron 還鼓了鼓掌，就像是在說
『虧你們能夠偵查到這種地步，肯定是極為大量的工作量』。」

「你不會很常看到這種程度的內容，說明報告內容到底有多麼的徹底。」




Vogel got LeBron to buy-in right away
Vogel 立即就獲得了 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.

湖人隊總教練本來的第一選擇是 Tyronn Lue，
他是當克里夫蘭騎士贏得 2016年總冠軍時，當時騎士隊的總教練。

然而他們因為低估了 Lue 對於價碼，以及合約長度的要求而失去了這名人選。


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.

在訪談過後來接任鳳凰城太陽隊總教練的 Monty Williams 之後，
湖人隊最後聘請了 Vogel。

而他們同時任命了 Jason Kidd 擔任首席助教，
他同樣了也參與了總教練職位的競逐。而且據說內容令人印象深刻。

這讓很多人都相信，Kidd的存在絕對會讓 Vogel 戰戰兢兢。



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.

這樣的局勢對一個全新走馬上任的總教練來說可不是什麼好的開頭，
但是 Vogel還是站穩了腳步，部分原因，是要多虧了 James對他表達的支持。


James attended Vogel's introductory press conference — an important display
of support.

James 親自出席了介紹新科教練 Vogel的新聞發表會 － 這是一次強力支持的表現。


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.

根據 ESPN 的 Zach Lowe報導，James 和整支球隊在訓練營中進行了相當艱苦的訓練，
使用最高速去完成那些訓練課題，在場上全力衝刺，爭球，並且全力和彼此對抗。

James 也表現得很有動力，不管是因為他錯過了 2018-19 的季後賽，
也或許是因為球隊在休賽季延攬了 Davis加盟，他都遵循著 Vogel 給予的指令。


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.

根據 Lowe 的說法，Vogel並不怕在影像會議上指摘王牌球員 James ，
而 James 會接受教練的指正，並且在球場上做出改正。


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 對教練表現出這樣的支持，很快的就對隊友產生了連鎖反應。

Vogel ，作為一名以貫徹防守原則著稱的教練，
讓隊上的每一個人在防守端都保持專注，並對於防守任務感到興奮。



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 的廣播節目 "The Lowe Post" 曾經談到，

他的教練方式並非是去討好團隊中的任何人。



"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，已經跟著我到處搬家好多次，
這是我第三份的總教練職位，我真的想要的，就是努力完成我的任務。
我想要把我的所學展現出來，並且毫不害怕的，真正的用我的方式來執教。」

「因為有很多時候，你得到了 NBA 的教練工作，
所以你就想要討好管理階層，你想要彎下腰討好你的球員。
有的時候，你總是因為各式各樣的原因，沒有辦法貫徹你自己的執教方式－
你想要保持工作穩定，你想要自己的家庭不用顛沛流離到處搬家，諸如此類原因。」


「我全家人和我都已經經歷過許多了，
所以我將貫徹我的方式去做，然後我會欣然接受這樣做帶來的結果。」






就差那麼一點點湖人請的就是 Tyronn Lue
