時間: Sat Mar 9 03:57:14 2013
前幾天總板在戰冰箱的調度，好奇就辜狗了一下找到這篇文章。
去年火箭本有機會進季後賽卻沒打進，Bleach Report的 Danny Dukker寫了一篇討伐冰箱
的文章。原來去年就有人砲冰箱了， 雖然很多人說BR的東西看看就好，這篇在ClutchFan
好像也被罵翻了，還是翻譯一下順便賺個賭本。
本季因為林到了火箭，我也成了火箭的一季球迷。對於去年火箭的情況不是很了解，但是
Dukker去年列的幾個問題，我認為跟現在的火箭還蠻像的。
以下是Dukker認為冰箱是個失敗教練的十個理由。
10 Reasons Kevin McHale Has Already Failed as Coach
http://www.ppt.cc/FM_d
◎ Failed to Orchestrate Good Trades
無法策劃好的交易
I realize the coach is not the one who does the trading and the dealing of
players, but he does have a say. A good coach always makes sure he has a say
in the trading of players and even makes suggestions to the front office.
我知道教練的工作並不是處理球員交易以及簽約事宜，但教練擁有話語權。一個好的教
練必須隨時確保他在球員的交易中有置喙的權利，甚至在必要的時候給制服組一些建議。
McHale has done nothing as far as trading except for getting rid of one of
the more promising young point guards in the league for Marcus Camby. Other
than that move, there has been no trade to improve the weaknesses of the
roster or further highlight the strengths.
但 McHale在球員交易上毫無作為，除了他為了Camby而放棄聯盟裡一個很有潛力的年輕
控球後衛。除此之外，就再也沒有任何交易去改善球隊陣容裡面的缺陷，強化球隊的戰
力。
◎ Did Not Rally the Team in the End
無法凝聚球隊
The Rockets missed the playoffs by just two games due to their six-game
losing streak toward the end of April. The team was not focused and did not
close out the season adequately.
接近四月底的六連敗，讓火箭僅僅以兩場的差距喪失了季後賽資格。這隻球隊並不專注
也沒有十足的準備去打完他們的球季。
They did not have an easy April, but their finish showed just how unmotivated
these players were. As I will mention again, this is a reasonably talented
group of players, and the fact that McHale failed to get anything out of them
in the home stretch is really a shame.
他們的四月並不好過，但他們的結局顯示著這些球員是多麼的毫無動力。我還是要再次
強調，這是一群擁有相當天賦的球員，而McHale無法對這些球員善盡其用真的是一件非
常遺憾的事。
◎ Bleak Outlook for the Future
對於球隊未來沒有遠見
The Rockets do have a group of young players that show reasonable promise,
but McHale has failed to get the right group of young talent.
火箭確實擁有一群有前景的年輕球員，但是McHale卻無法讓他們成為一個正確的組合。
As it stands now, they have no promise at the center position as both of
their centers are north of 30 with Marcus Camby being just two years shy of
40.
現在的情況是，他們的在中鋒這位置上已經沒有希望了，幾名中鋒都已年過30，Camby
更是只差2歲就40歲了。
Their power forward situation is not too much better and Scola is now 32 with
no serviceable replacement. At this point, McHale is their best option as a
backup power forward. The reason I blame this on McHale is found in the next
slide.
他們的4號位也好不到那，Scola已經32歲了，卻沒有一個稱職的替補， 或者McHale本身
就是他們4號位替補的最佳選擇。在下一段可以找到為什麼我把它歸咎於McHale的原因。
◎ Coaches Like He Plays
用當球員的心態來職教
The reason many good players can’t make good coaches is because they have
reached a certain level of excellence on the court that they expect it from
others.
一個好的球員未必是一個好的教練最主要的原因就是，他們在當球員的時候已經達到一
定程度的卓越，所以他們也會對其他球員保持相同的期待。
They also tend to focus on things they did while playing. In McHale’s case,
he is all about the paint on both sides of the ball.
他們也傾向於專注在當他們還是球員時就在做的事。像McHale，他就是在禁區裡面討生
活。
The problem is that his roster isn't best suited for defending and attacking
the paint. This also leads me into…
但問題是，他的陣容並不適合拿來捍衛禁區及攻擊禁區。
◎ Very Weak Game Plan
戰術非常貧乏
McHale does not seem ready for teams he faces. He is a great TV analyst, but
I just haven’t seen his knowledge behind the desk translate into readiness
on the court.
McHale看起來並沒有準備好去帶他的球隊。他是一個很棒的解說員，但我從沒看過他把
他的籃球知識從轉播台帶到場上。
As a coach of a potential playoff team, you have to be ready for your
matchups each week.
Too many possessions end in a terrible shot, and too many plays just don’t
work.
作為一個很有可能打進季後賽的球隊的總教練，你必須每個禮拜都要準備好去面對你的
對手。
有太多次的進攻結束於一個很糟糕的投籃，以及一堆根本起不到作用的戰術。
◎ Not Using the Roster Correctly
無法正確使用球員
What McHale has is a well-rounded roster that can really be very effective on
the offensive end. Lowry is a good ball handler and guys like Kevin Martin
and Chase Budinger are good shooters on the outside. Scola has an above
average post game while Courtney Lee is a well-rounded offensive talent.
McHale所擁有的是一支很完善，在進攻端非常有效率的陣容。Lowry是一個很好的控球者，
Martin跟Budinger都是外圍很不錯的射手。Scola是一個水準以上的低位球員，Courtney
Lee也是一個進攻天份很不錯的球員。
He should be able to make this work, but he simply can’t.
McHale應該是可以成功的帶領這隻球隊的，但他就是沒有。
◎ The Team Had a Better Record Year Before
球隊去年的成績反而還比今年好
A huge knock on McHale is that he came in and the team became worse. The
Rockets missed the playoffs in 2011, but they finished above .500, a point
they barely reached this year.
對McHale來說，一個嚴重的打擊就是他進入了這隻球隊卻讓這隻球隊變的更糟。火箭
在2011年錯過了季後賽，但他們最後還有五成以上的勝率，這是他們今年很少達到的
勝率。
Last season, the competition was very strong, but it was not this year, and
Houston should have been in the playoffs.
上個球季季後賽的競爭非常激烈，但今年並沒有，而火箭是應該要打進季後賽的。
◎ Defense Not a Priority
防守不是優先選項
The defense and rebounding have not been strong points for the Rockets team.
McHale seems much more interested in offense, just like he was during his
playing days, but it didn't work.
防守以及籃板並不是火箭的強項。McHale似乎對進攻比較有興趣，就像他還是球員時候
的那個樣子，但這根本行不通。
His offensive play calling was also not completely working as Houston
finished ninth in points per game, but 14th in field goal percentage.
同時，他的進攻策略也不完全對火箭起到作用，火箭平均每場得分排名第九，團隊命中
也只是排在第十四位。
Since the players was struggling at times on the offensive end, they should
have been addressing the defense.
當有些時候，球員在進攻端打的非常掙扎，他們就應該更表現出他們的防守。
◎ Is Not Spreading the Minutes Correctly
不正確地分配球員上場時間
Kyle Lowry was viewed as a candidate for a breakout season this year, and
while his numbers went up, his minutes actually dropped under McHale. Chase
Budinger showed promise in his first two seasons, but saw no increase in
minutes this season.
本季被視為是Lowry爆發球季的一年。而當他的數據往上提升時，事實上他的上場時間
是減少的。Budinger在他前兩個球季展現出他的潛力，他的上場時間卻沒有增加。
Samuel Dalembert is an inconsistent player, but considering the weaknesses of
Houston, he does not get enough playing time.
Dalembert是一個不穩定的球員，而考慮到火箭的弱點，他也沒有得到足夠的上場時間。
The two things a head coach needs to avoid under all circumstances is
delaying the progress of young talent by not rewarding them with more
minutes. McHale has done both this year.
在任何情況下總教練都必須要避免的事有兩件，那就是阻礙年輕球員的發展以及不給他
們足夠的上場時間。而這兩件事McHale這個球季都作了。
