Chat Transcript: New Pacers Coach Jim O’Brien

溜馬隊新教練 Jim O'Brien 的聊天室

Jim O'Brien became the 13th coach in Pacers history on May 31, 2007.

Jim O'Brien 在二零零七年五月三十一號成為溜馬隊史第十三任總教練。

O'Brien, 55, previously spent four seasons as the Boston Celtics' head coach,
compiling a 139-119 record (.539) with playoff appearances in 2002 and 2003,
including a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2002. After coaching the
Celtics, O'Brien coached the Philadelphia 76ers for one season in 2004-05,
compiling a 43-39 record and making the NBA Playoffs. He then spent two
seasons writing an online column for ESPN.com, The Insider.

今年五十五歲的 O'Brien 曾經擔任波士頓塞爾提克隊總教練四年，總計率隊拿
下１３９勝－１１９負（勝率 .５３９），兩度進入季後賽（零二、零三年）
且在零二年進入東區總冠軍賽。之後，O'Brien 接下費城七六人隊的教練一職
，在該季（零四～零五）率隊拿下４３勝４９負，且進入季後賽。接下來兩季
，他在ＥＳＰＮ體育網站擔任專欄作家。

O'Brien has been in the coaching profession since 1974-75, serving as an
assistant coach at Wheeling Jesuit College, Pembroke State College, the
University of Maryland, Saint Joseph's University, the University of Oregon,
the New York Knicks, the University of Kentucky and the Celtics. He has also
been a head coach for Wheeling Jesuit and the University of Dayton.

O'Brien 自一九七四年起開始擔任籃球隊教練，曾在許多大學擔任助理教練包含
Wheeling Jesuit College, Pembroke State College, the University of Maryland,
Saint Joseph's University, the University of Oregon, the New York Knicks,
the University of Kentucky 與職業球隊塞爾提克隊。他也曾擔任過總教練，帶領
Wheeling Jesuit 與 the University of Dayton。

O'Brien played collegiately at Saint Joseph's University and is in that
school's Hall of Fame as well as the Big Five (Philadelphia) Hall of Fame.
He earned his Bachelor's Degree from Saint Joseph's in 1974 and received
his MBA from the University of Maryland in 1981.

大學時代的 O'Brien 曾經在 Saint Joseph's University 打球，且入選該校名人堂，
同時也是 Big Five（費城）名人堂的一員。他在該校獲得學士學位，並且在一九八一
年時自 University of Maryland 取得企管碩士學位。

On Wednesday, O'Brien stopped by Pacers.com to chat live with fans, so check
out what the new coach had to say about his style of offense and much more.

這個週三，O'Brien 在線上與 Pacers.com 的球迷們見面，以下是這位新教練對於
他的風格、進攻方針等等話題的看法。

〔１〕

Kyle (Holly Springs): What player, if you could only choose one, are you most
excited about coaching and why?

Ｑ：如果由你選擇，誰是你最渴望帶到的球員，為什麼？

Jim O'Brien: I would say it would be Jermaine O'Neal. I know there's been
talk about trading him, but we think he's a huge factor at both ends of the
court. He protects the basket, takes charges, blocks shots and he's been the
No. 1 scoring option for the Pacers for a number of years.

Jim O'Brien：我會告訴你答案是 Jermaine O'Neal。我知道，一直有傳言提
到他將被交易，但是，我們認為他是攻守兩方的關鍵因素。他
保護籃板，進攻，阻攻，他已經是溜馬第一得分點好幾年了。

〔２〕

Josh Sandstrom (Pittsboro, IN): How do you plan to utilize Marquis Daniels.
Do you envision him as a point guard or more of a wing player?

Ｑ：你打算如何運用 Marquis Daniels？在你的藍圖中，他比較像是控球後衛或
是鋒線球員？

Jim O'Brien: I think Marquis can play both the 1 and the 2. He's more of a
2-1 than a 1-2, but we can use him in both. I think with Marquis and Jamaal
Tinsley, the more up-tempo we play, the better off both of those players will
be. I want to get Marquis in situations where he's one-on-one.

Jim O'Brien：我想 Marquis 可以打１號及２號。他會比較像是２－１型，
而不是１－２型，但是，我們可以在兩個位置都派他上場。我
想有了 Marquis 與 Jammal Tinsley 球隊若有較多快速步調
的打法，這兩位球員的發揮將會更好。我想要設計 Marquis
進入一對一的情況中打球。

〔３〕

Jim (Ft. Wayne, IN): What aspects of Jamaal Tinsley's game are most important
for him (and the Pacers) to succeed within your coaching schemes?

Ｑ：在你的帶隊方針裡面，Jammal Tinsley 的哪個特質對於他（及溜馬隊）最重要？

Jim O'Brien: Jamaal has such a strong ability to handle the ball that the
more he can penetrate, under control, into the lane, the more opportunities
he's gonna create for himself and his teammates. An up-tempo game will suit
Jamaal better than a slower tempo.

Jim O'Brien ：Jammal 處理球的能力相當強，因此，當他有越多設計好的切入
嘗試，就能替他自己與球隊創造更多機會。快步調的比賽會比慢
步調的比賽更適合 Jammal 。

〔４〕

Steve Indianpolis: What Do Think Of The Potential of Danny Granger And
Shawn Willams

Ｑ：對於 Danny Granger 與 Shawn Williams 的潛力你有什麼看法？

Jim O'Brien: I've had an opportunity to work with Shawn, today as a matter of
fact, with his skill level. He really has an ability to stretch the court for
an inside presence like Jermaine O'Neal. We'll need to be patient as he learns
the NBA game, but I think he has a very strong future as a Pacer. Danny is
further along and was challenged last year to be one of the key weapons
behind Jermaine and he responded well. We expect, with a summer of good
conditioning, that Danny could be in for a breakout year next year.

Jim O'Brien ：我曾經與 Shawn 共事過，事實上，以他現在的球技來說，
他真的有能耐像 Jermaine O'Neal 一樣在禁區打球。我們
必須有耐心，讓他適應ＮＢＡ球賽，但是，他會是溜馬隊未
來的強力球員。 Danny 則又是另一個層次，他在上一季被
賦予成為 Jermaine 之外的進攻主力這樣的挑戰，而他適應
的不錯。我們期望，過了一個夏天的調整，能把下一季變成
Danny 的突破年。

〔５〕

Eric Matz (Indianapolis): In your previous NBA coaching stints, which season
do you feel, personally, you did the best job, and why?

Ｑ：在過去擔任教練的日子裡，你個人覺得哪一季是你最佳的表現。

Jim O'Brien: It's a good question, I think we had fairly solid years each
time I was a head coach, but my first full year with the Celtics was probably
the best, when we went from 27th in the league in FG defense to third and not
only did we make the playoffs after a long drought, but we won two playoff
series where we were probably underdogs in both series. We grew alot in one
year, so that would probably make that our best year.

Jim O'Brien ：這是個好問題，我想，每次我擔任總教練時，總會有表現較
佳的幾季。但是，全職擔任塞爾提克總教練的第一年應該會
是最棒的一季，那年我們從全聯盟對手命中率第二十七名進
步到第三，而且，我們最後不只進到季後賽，還在兩個系列
戰中取勝，以不被看好的一方做到這點，真的不容易。我們
在一年之中有如此大的進展，也許那會是我們最棒的一年。

〔６〕

Nick (Dallas):: Last year the team finished last in field goal percentage.
What needs to change to improve the team's offensive production?

Ｑ：去年這支球隊在投籃命中率上敬陪末座，對於團隊的進攻有什麼需要改變的？

Jim O'Brien: There are a number of things. No. 1 is to create a better tempo
that will have us attacking before the defense can set themselves. Rick
Carlisle is a good set offense coach, but I prefer a higher tempo and will
challenge our team..on a miss shot and a made shot...to get the ball across
halfcourt in three seconds, which should prevent the defense from setting
themselves, so we'll be more unpredictable than we were in the past.

Jim O'Brien：有幾點事情該提。第一，打造出一種能讓我們在對手站穩防守
位置前就攻擊的球風。Rick Carlisle 教練很會佈置進攻，但
我偏好較快的節奏，而且我會挑戰我們的球員不管是進球與否
，都要把球在三秒鐘內帶過半場。這樣一來應該可以讓對手無
法順利站好防守位置，而且我們的進攻會比過去更難被預測。


〔７〕

361 - Dallas: Ike Diogu is an exciting young talent. However, his minutes
have been limited. How many minutes do you see Ike averaging and what do
you foresee his role with the Pacers?

Ike Diogu 是個令人振奮的新人。但是，他的上場時間一直受限。你認為他該有
多少的上場時間，他在溜馬隊的角色又是如何？

Jim O'Brien: Ike's minutes, like everyone else on the team, will be based on
his performance. His role is yet to be determined. Certainly he is a young
man who is talented with the ball in his hands down low, but becomes less
effective farther away from the basket. He would be a viable option backing
up Jermaine, which would guarantee him double-digit minutes but he'll have
to compete with David Harrison for those minutes.

Jim O'Brien ：Ike 的上場時間將會跟其他人的上場時間一樣，依照個人
表現決定。他該扮演的角色還有待確定。當然他是個有潛
力的年輕人，能夠在低位打球，不過，離籃框越遠他的效
率也就越低。他會是 Jermaine 的替補人選，而這代表他
會有兩位數的上場時間，但是，他必須跟 Daveid Harrison 競爭。

〔８〕

Tony in Houston: Welcome to Indy coach, I'm a native of Indy and am glad to
hear your talk about being flexible and developing a style that is conducive
to the roster that you have. With that being said, as the roster currently
stands, who do you see as the players who are capable of playing the 2 guard
position?

Ｑ：歡迎來到印城，我是這裡的鄉民，很高興你提到要有彈性、球風要來自球員的
特性等等。根據這些，以目前的陣容來看，你覺得哪位球員有能耐打兩個後衛的位置？

Jim O'Brien: We have a few options. Danny Granger would be one. Dunleavy.
Marquis Daniels. They all have the ability to play the two-guard spot.

Jim O'Brien ：我們有幾個選擇， Danny Granger 會是一個。Dunleavy、Marquis
Daniels。這幾位球員有能力打兩個後衛。

〔９〕

Evan (Chicago): In your introductory new conference you talked about how
your offensive game plan involves shooting a high volume of three point
shots. Since Reggie Miller's retirement, the Pacers have not had a player
(let alone several) that can make the 3-point shot with any consistency.
Doesn't your offensive approach contradict the ability of players you've
been given?

Ｑ：在你的就職見面會上，你提到進攻戰術會有大量的三分球投射。
自從 Reggie Miller 退休後，溜馬一直連一位可以持續提供三分
火力的球員都找不到。這樣的進攻方針難道不是與球隊特性相衝突？

Jim O'Brien: We think that we have players that can shoot the three. Danny
is a good three-point shooter. Shawn Williams can shoot the three. Dunleavy,
although he's been streaky, can shoot it. Troy Murphy can knock down threes.
Even though it isn't a specialty of Jamaal's, he's shot at 37-percent for two
years, so that's something we can work on. One of the big things in having a
team being successful with the three-ball, is having a coach committed to it.
We don't want to take bad three-point shots, our definition of a good three
is when we have a standstill open three-pointer.

Jim O'Brien：我想，我們是有球員能夠投射三分球的。Danny 是個很好的
三分球射手。Shawn Willims 可以投三分。Dunleavy ，即使
不是很穩，也能投三分。Troy Murphy 可以投三分。即使三
分不是項專長，Jammal 已經兩年都有 .３７的三分球命中率
，所以這些都是我們可以努力的地方。要讓球隊在三分投射上
有進步的一個重點是，教練必須真的願意球隊去投三分。我們
不要濫投，我們要的三分球是在空檔出現時進行投射的定點三
分球。

〔１０〕

Hasan (marietta,GA): where do you see the pacers next season

Ｑ：溜馬下一季能有怎樣的成績？

Jim O'Brien: I would say we are a team that if we continue to develop our
young players like Danny and Shawn and Dunleavy, even though he's been in
the league for awhile and stay healthy..guys like Jermaine and Jamaal, we
have the talent and ability to be competing in the NBA playoffs, and that
is our intention.

Jim O'Brien: I want to thank everybody for their questions today, it's always
a pleasure to interact with our fans and I look forward to doing this again
soon.


Jim O'Brien ：我會說，如果我們繼續栽培隊上年輕的球員，像是 Danny
與 Shawn ，以及 Dunleavy，即使他已經在聯盟打球一陣
子了，還有保持球員的體能、健康，像是 Jermaine 與
Jammal ，我們有足夠的潛力與能力在季後賽與其他球隊較
量，而那也是我們的目標。我要謝謝所有今天參與在其中
的球迷，能夠與大家交流相當令人開心，希望很快能有機
會再次與大家聊聊天。
