原文+翻譯:

MILWAUKEE — After a busy Memorial Day Weekend packed full of news, the Bucks
quietly went about negotiating a contract with former Toronto Raptors
assistant coach Adrian Griffin, the man they tabbed to be the franchise’s
17th head coach. And Griffin will soon sign his Bucks deal, league sources
say.

密爾瓦基——在經歷了一個滿是新消息的陣亡將士紀念日周末後,公鹿隊很快且靜悄悄地
和即將成為第十七任主教練的暴龍隊前助理教練 Adrian Griffin 展開新合約的談判。而消息人士也指出,他將會簽下與公鹿隊的新合約。

While the team has not yet made the hire official, league sources tell The
Athletic that Griffin has been with the team throughout the week in various
meetings and draft workouts in Milwaukee. The Athletic has also learned that
Griffin will be paid roughly $4 million per year on a multiyear contract withthe Bucks.

雖然目前該新聘雇尚未得到官方證實,消息人士向《運動家》表示,Griffin 在近一週來頻繁出現在隊內的各項活動及選秀測試會上。《運動家》也獲知,Griffin 將透過一份複數年合約,得到每年約四百萬美元的薪資。

Griffin and the Bucks will now work toward securing veteran assistants for
his coaching staff. Two potential candidates are former Charlotte Hornets
coach James Borrego and ex-Portland Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts,
according to the sources.

Griffin 將會同公鹿隊,為教練團鎖定一些資歷較深的助教。根據消息人士的說法,其中兩位人選是前黃蜂隊主教練 James Borrego 和前拓荒者隊主教練 Terry Stotts。

在等待官方宣佈的同時,目前關心的問題如下:


Who is coming with Griffin to Milwaukee?

誰將會和 Griffin 一起來到密爾瓦基?

As discussed multiple times throughout the last few weeks, this is Griffin’s
first head-coaching position.

如同過去多次討論的內容所提,這是 Griffin 第一次擔任主教練。

After deciding to transition from an NBA player to an NBA coach in 2008,
Griffin served as an assistant coach for 15 seasons for five different teams.In that time as an assistant, Griffin was surely able to connect with the
coaches on all of those staffs as well as various coaches from around the
league, but that doesn’t necessarily suggest who he might target to join him
in Milwaukee on his coaching staff.

自從Griffin 於二零零八年從球員轉任教練以來,他在這十五個賽季期間,擔任五支球隊的助理教練一職。在該段期間,雖然他能與其他教練團成員、甚至是聯盟內其他教練保持良好關係,但這不一定能指明他會瞄準哪些對象,以加入他的團隊。

Building a coaching staff, however, doesn’t always end up being the sole
responsibility of the head coach. Organizations can also be used for support
in these situations. As the Bucks build out the staff, they will have to workwith Griffin to figure out how to put together the best possible support
group for their new head coach.

無論如何,建立教練團不一定是主教練的職責。球團有時也可以提供支援。正當公鹿隊建立這團隊時,他們需要和Griffin 一起合作,分析出能盡可能提供最好支援的團隊。

And there is a lot to consider.

其中有很多需要考量的。

For example, as an assistant, Griffin spent a considerable amount of time
working for defensive-minded coaches like Scott Skiles, Tom Thibodeau and
Nick Nurse and also spent much of his time on the Raptors’ defensive game
plan, so maybe an offensive mind would help the staff. Or maybe the Bucks
need to add a younger coach to the staff since Griffin is 48 years old.
Because Griffin has never been an NBA head coach, maybe the Bucks could find
it useful to grab a former head coach to help Griffin sort through building
out an organizational strategy.

打個比方,作為助理教練,Griffin 用了好一陣子的時間,為 Scott Skiles、Tom Thib-odeau 和 Nick Nurse 之類的防守向教練服務,也花了很多時間投入暴龍隊的防守計劃,因此進攻向的心態也許能幫助球隊。也有可能因為Griffin 如今已經四十八歲了,所以公鹿隊應該要找年輕的助教。畢竟他未有擔任主教練的經歷,因此公鹿隊可能會找一位前主教練,以協助他整理出組織性的戰略。

Speaking of which, per league sources, the Bucks have shown interest in
adding Borrego to the staff. Borrego, 45, served as coach of the Charlotte
Hornets for four seasons from 2018 to 2022, but he has also been connected toa number of teams searching for an assistant coach position this offseason.

說到這邊,按照聯盟內的消息人士所指,公鹿隊已經對讓Borrego 加入團隊一事表達了興趣。年約四十五歲的他,曾於二零一八年至二零二二年期間擔任黃蜂隊的主教練,但他同時在本休賽季期間,和一些正在尋求填補助教空缺的球隊有著聯繫。

Another thing to keep in mind is that assistant coaches don’t necessarily
have the same contract as the head coach. While the Bucks parted ways with
Mike Budenholzer, the team’s assistant coaches all have separate contracts
of their own and need to figure out their next step as well.

另一個需要注意的是,助理教練不一定和主教練有相同的合約條款。當公鹿隊決定與前主教練 Mike Budenholzer 分道揚鑣時,隊內助理教練們都有本身的合約,因此需要自行決定下一步該怎樣走。

Bucks general manager Jon Horst talked about the situation on May 5, when
discussing the head coach opening with reporters.

公鹿隊總管曾於五月五日時,在與記者們討論主教練空缺的當下談及此事。

“I have a ton of respect for all of this group,” Horst said. “I think we
have one of the best supporting coaching groups in the NBA and I would hope
if they’re still with us when we make the next hire, that they’ll get
consideration from that hire. That’ll be part of that process.

Horst 說:

「我對隊內每個人都有著萬分尊重。我覺得我們有全聯盟最好的教練團支援,相信如果他 們在下次聘雇時還與我們同在,他們將會獲得很好的酬勞。這將是過程的一部分。」

“I also expect a number of these guys will have other opportunities across
the league. And if they do, I have great relationships with everyone, we’ll
have an open line of communication as we already do and I’ll support them in
that way too.”

「我也預計,(教練團內的)一些人可能會轉去其他球隊任職。如果真是如此,我和各位 都有很好的關係,我們會維持如以往般開放的溝通方式,我也會以相同的方式給他們支 援。」

Horst further explained that while the team parted ways with its head coach,
the organization still had work to do. Those assistant coaches would be the
people executing that work, whether those were workouts for players who were
still in town or draft workouts for prospective players. In the last few
weeks, a few Bucks assistants have shared farewells to the city on their
social media, but others still work for the team. Griffin and Horst will haveto decide if any of the assistants from Budenholzer’s staff will stick
around for another year in Milwaukee.

Horst 進一步解釋,當球隊決定解雇前主教練時,還有一些待完成的工作。這些助理教練們將協助為還沒放假的球員們及將參與選秀測試的新秀們執行該(執教)工作。在過去數周間,一些助教已經在社群媒體上表達了離別之意,也有一些助教選擇繼續留在隊內執教。Griffin 將和 Horst 一起決定 Budenholzer 原有的教練團中,將為公鹿隊效力多一年的成員。


How does Griffin find the balance between the new and the old?

Griffin 將如何在新舊之間求得平衡?

When Budenholzer came to Milwaukee in 2018, he was coming off five seasons inAtlanta in which the Hawks finished the regular season top-10 or better in
forcing turnovers. After five seasons in Milwaukee, the Bucks never once
finished outside of the bottom 10 in forcing turnovers defensively. Both
defenses were overwhelmingly successful in both Atlanta and Milwaukee, but
Budenholzer opted to focus on different things with each defense.

當Budenholzer 於二零一八年初來到公鹿隊時,他才剛離開效勞了五個賽季的老鷹隊,當時他們在受迫性失誤排行上一直位於前十之內。在公鹿隊的五個賽季間,公鹿隊從未在受迫性防守失誤排行上位於最後十名之中。在兩隊的防守排陣上雖然都很成功,但他卻選擇在每次防守中專注於不同的事上。

With Griffin, there is no outline for what he previously did as a head coach.There is no film to watch to understand his tendencies or tactics. He will bea blank slate in that regard, but the Bucks, as a team, will not and watchingGriffin lay out his own offensive and defensive strategies will be a
fascinating coaching exercise.

對於 Griffin,現階段無法得知他代理主教練時的作法,也沒有任何關於他排陣心思或戰略的任何影片。在這方面,他將是一張白紙,但公鹿隊作為一個團隊,將不會如此。看著格里芬制定自己的進攻和防守策略,將是一次迷人的教練練習。

All coaches have certain core beliefs, certain things that they believe in
unconditionally, but there are also certain realities with every roster. As
covered earlier this week, there is a real possibility that the main
contributors at the top of the Bucks’ roster are the exact same as last
season. And if that is the case, there are certain strategies, like an
emphasis on rim protection on defense or an offense based on the isolation oftheir playmakers, that make logical sense based on the team’s personnel.

所有教練都有本身的核心信念,一些他們會無條件相信的事,但在球員名單上總會有一些要面對的現實。正如早前所提,公鹿隊內的主要貢獻者很有可能和上賽季的完全一樣。倘若真是如此,諸如強調防守時的籃板保護、或基於隔開他們球員的進攻之策略,對於球隊內的人員而言,是有邏輯意義的。

So, how much will Griffin lean on some of those same principles? And how muchwill he try to break the Bucks of some of the habits they built under
Budenholzer?

因此,Griffin 將繼續維持哪些價值觀?有哪些在Budenholzer 麾下建立良久的習慣,將會被打破呢?

Sorting through those questions will be critical to building the strategies
that the Bucks will lean on going forward.

解決這些問題將是決定公鹿未來策略的重要關鍵。


How does Griffin build relationships with his players?

Griffin 將如何和球員建立關係?

In a normal year, the front office and coaching staff connect with players inthe week after the season during the exit interview process to recap the
previous season and also give each player things to work on during the
offseason. While Horst told reporters that he did go through that process
with Bucks players in the days following the team’s playoff exit, the vision
for the franchise has changed significantly since those meetings.

在正常的賽季下,前台人員和教練團會在賽季結束的當周與球員們進行溝通,以為上賽季的表現作總結,並提供他們休賽季期間需要努力的事。雖然Horst 告訴記者,在球隊季後賽出局後的數日裡,曾確實與雄鹿隊的球員經歷了這個過程,但自從這些會面之後,雄鹿隊的前景已經發生了重大變化。

With a new coach, there will likely be new directives and most importantly,
there will need to be significant relationship-building between Griffin and
each of the Bucks players. To accomplish that, players may need to come back
to Milwaukee (if they leave the city for the offseason) or Griffin might needto embark on a worldwide tour to track players down and discuss the future
with them. For example, when Budenholzer was hired in 2018, he quickly made
the journey to Greece to chat with Antetokounmpo and continued to make trips
there during subsequent offseasons to check in on Antetokounmpo during the
summer.

有了新教練之後,可能會有新的方向;更重要的是,在Griffin 和各公鹿隊球員之間,將會有更關鍵的關係建立過程。為了達成這目標,球員們可能需要回到密爾瓦基市(假如他們在休賽季期間離開該城市),或者Griffin 本身需要親自展開環球之旅,才能和他們展開對於未來的討論。舉例:當Budenholzer 於二零一八年受聘時,他很快地前往希臘、與字母哥會面,在往後的休賽季期間也一直這樣做。

For Griffin to get on the same page as the players, he will need to make the
same sort of effort.

Griffin 要和球員們站在同一起跑線上,他需要做出同等的努力。


短評:

在沒有擔任主教練經歷的情況下,看來需要有「白手起家」般的奮力一試了...
