The 2018-19 NBA regular season is a week old, and the oddsmakers are already

season.
2018-19的NBA賽季也才剛開始一個禮拜，但是賭盤已經列出一個最有趣的選項。
Which head coach will be the first to go?
哪個教練會率先領繩?
According to OddsShark, the Los Angeles Lakers' Luke Walton (+175, bet $100
to win $175) and the Minnesota Timberwolves' Tom Thibodeau (+200) are the
leading candidates this campaign:
根據OddsShark，目前是湖人教練Luke Walton跟灰狼教練Tom Thibodeau暫居前兩名。
以下是名單：
1. Luke Walton +175
2. Tom Thibodeau +200
3. Fred Hoiberg +500
4. Billy Donovan +750
5. Scott Brooks +1000
6. Dave Joerger +1200
7. Terry Stotts +1200
8. Tyronn Lue +1200
Walton led the Golden State Warriors to a 39-4 start in 2015-16 as interim
head coach in place of Steve Kerr. The following season, he took over a
17-win Lakers squad that was looking to acquire and develop young talent.
Walton在2015-16曾經替Steve Kerr暫代勇士總教練，勇士開季戰績是39-4。隔年他去帶領
僅17勝的湖人，找尋可以培養的年輕潛力球員。
Los Angeles has improved under Walton with each passing campaign with the

35 in 2017-18. But expectations skyrocketed the moment four-time NBA MVP
LeBron James signed with the Purple and Gold this summer.
湖人在Walton帶領下每年都有進步，添加了一些新秀像是Brandon Ingram，Lonzo Ball，
Kyle Kuzma，Josh Hart以及其他一些球員。Walton第一年戰績是26勝，隔年2017-18是35
勝。今年在4屆MVP得主LBJ與紫金軍團簽下合約後，成績被認為應該會一飛衝天。
Los Angeles has gotten off to a 0-3 start while dropping close games to the
Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs. As a result,
the 38-year-old coach is facing increased pressure to get his team to play
winning basketball.
但是湖人開季0-3，都以些微比數分別輸給了阿拓，火箭跟馬刺。也因此，38歲的Walton面
臨要讓球隊贏球的巨大壓力。
Meanwhile, Thibodeau's Timberwolves have started the season 2-2—but they
have no shortage of turmoil within the organization. Jimmy Butler had a trade
request go public a week before training camp, and then a heated practice
made headlines. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the four-time All-Star
told general manager Scott Layden: "You f
