Hint: This should be called "Don Nelson Day".
2001 - Don Nelson reaches 1,000 wins
Dallas Mavericks' head coach Don Nelson becomes the third NBA bench boss to
win 1,000 games, following a 113-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Nelson
ultimately retires nine years later from the Golden State Warriors, whom he
joined in 2006, as the highest winning coach in NBA history, with 1,335
victories.
這天應該稱作"老尼日"
2001/12/29達拉斯小牛隊以113-97擊敗老鷹，使得Don Nelson成為NBA第三名千勝教練
老尼也在9年後以NBA歷史最多勝的1335勝場數從金州勇士(曾在2006年執教)退休。
Coincidentally, on the same day in 2001, Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan
also wins his 800th career game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Sloan later
joins the 1,000 club in 2008, becoming the first coach in NBA history to do
so under a single brand. He currently ranks fourth all-time with 1,223 wins.
巧合的是在2001年同一天，猶他爵士總教練Jerry Sloan在對費城76人的比賽也達到800勝
，教皇在2008年成為第一個千勝教頭，且都是待在同個球隊。他目前以1223勝排歷史第四
1997 - Bubba Wells fouls out in three minutes
In a moment of poor judgement, Mavericks coach Nelson sends out seldom-used
shooting guard Bubba Wells to foul Dennis Rodman, a lousy free-throw shooter.
Wells racks up six fouls in three minutes, breaking the 41-year-old NBA
record previously set by Dick Farley of the Syracuse Nationals in 1956.
Nelson's comical strategy fails, and Rodman converts nine of the 12 free
throws. The Bulls win 111-105.
小牛隊總教練老尼對Dennis Rodman派出Bubba Wells這位很少上場的球員使用犯規戰術
3分鐘內六次犯滿離場，打破高懸41年由Dick Farley在Syracuse Nationals(76人前身)
1956年的紀錄。老尼後來戰術失敗，小蟲12罰9中，公牛111-105獲勝。
1987 - Nelson traded to Warriors
To complete the Dec. 29 Don Nelson trifecta, the coach - then under contract
with the Milwaukee Bucks - is traded to the Golden State Warriors for a 1988
second-round draft pick. Nelson did not coach during the 1987-88 season,
taking the helm of the Warriors for the first of two stints in 1988-89.
為了完成12/29老尼日的三連霸，在1987年這天密爾瓦基公鹿把老尼交易到勇士，換取
1988年第二輪選秀，老尼在勇士隊1987-88球季沒有執教，而是在1988-89球季開始他教練
生涯第二個隊伍
