Mike D’Antoni met with Denver Nuggets management to discuss the franchise’s
head coaching opening, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
聯盟人士告訴Yahoo Sports, 金塊已與Mike D' Antoni討論過教練的職缺.
Denver general manager Tim Connelly conducted a sit-down with D’Antoni in
California on Tuesday, league sources said.
D’Antoni’s vaunted running game fits into Denver’s determination that it
wants to play faster in the future. Melvin Hunt, the interim coach in the
wake of Brian Shaw’s firing, remains a strong contender to retain the
full-time job, league sources said.
消息也透露, 週二的時候, 金塊總管Tim Connelly已在加州與冷笑話會談過. 冷笑話的
跑轟風格很符合目前金塊隊目前的傾向, 他們希望在未來把比賽打得更快. 然而,
在Brian Shaw被開除後的代理教練Melvin Hunt也是強勁的競爭者.
Along with D’Antoni and Hunt, ex-Sacramento Kings coach Michael Malone has
had conversations with Connelly and could soon emerge with a sit-down
interview, league sources said.
前國王隊教練Michael Malone也與總管Connelly交談過, 他可能很快就會有一次正式的
面談.
Denver was 30-52 in the 2014-15 season.
D’Antoni, 64, spent less than a season as the interim head coach with the
Nuggets in 1998-99 before re-emerging as the highly successful Phoenix Suns
coach for five seasons beginning in 2003. D’Antoni largely revolutionized
offensive basketball with his seven-seconds-or-less offense, leading the Suns
to the Western Conference Finals twice and the playoffs two more years.
He moved on to the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, where he managed
to make the playoffs once with each franchise.
金塊隊在14-15球季拿下30勝-52敗.
64歲的冷笑話曾在1998-99球季擔任過金塊隊的臨時教練, 在2003之後的五個球季裡他在
太陽隊獲得了很大的成功. 冷笑話的七秒進攻系統為籃球進攻帶來革命性的影響, 他帶領
太陽2次打入西冠, 外加另外兩次打入季後賽的紀錄.
之後他到了尼克以及湖人, 他帶領這兩支球隊各進過一次季後賽.
