Ham談執教心態：不走捷徑，培養年輕球員
He had been on three teams in two seasons before finally settling on the Milwauk
ee Bucks and becoming a solid role player. Ham’s NBA journey of six teams in ei
ght years is a unique path for a head coach. Ham even played a year in the Phili
ppine Basketball Association.
在最終加盟密爾瓦基公鹿隊並成為一名穩定的角色球員之前，Ham在兩個賽季裡曾效力過三
支球隊。Ham八年效力六支球隊的NBA之旅對於總教練來說是一條獨特的道路。Ham甚至在菲
律賓打了一年球。
The route adds to Ham’s vision as head coach. It made being officially introduc
ed as Lakers head coach a little more special.
這段經歷拓展了Ham作為總教練的視野。這使得被任命為湖人隊總教練變得更加特別。
“I think it makes you more appreciative. I wasn’t blessed with this otherworld
ly talent,” Ham said. “You know, I was a pretty good athlete that could hold m
y own on the court a little bit. But still, the sweet jump shots or the no-look
passes that wasn’t my game (laughs).”
Ham：我沒有超凡脫俗的天賦，這讓我對成為總教練更加感恩。你知道，我是一個很好的球
員，能夠在場上保持自我，但是，那些漂亮的投籃和不看人傳球不是我的比賽風格(笑)。
As his playing career concluded, Ham became known for his toughness and no-nonse
nse mentality as an assistant. He carried the same as a player, unable to rely o
n cutting corners due to his talent and, in turn, establishing a detail-oriented
mentality.
隨著他的職業生涯的結束，作為一名助理教練，Ham以他強硬和嚴肅的心態而聞名。他和球
員時期一樣，不去依靠他的天賦走捷徑，反過來，他建立了一種注重細節的心態。
“So just having to be a blue-collar type contributor on a lot of various teams
from high school to junior college, to Texas Tech to the pros like a championshi
p team in Detroit,” Ham said. “I think it prepares you, and it creates a certa
in type of mentality to where you don’t want to cut any corners like you have t
o make sure you’re on point. Understand, what the details are, whether we’re w
atching film, and you’re talking about coverages or your workouts in the summer
time.”
Ham：所以我必須成為一個藍領，從高中到大學，從德州理工到職業聯賽，再到為底特律奪
冠做出貢獻，我認為這些經歷讓我準備好了，它給我創造了一種心態，那就是不走任何捷徑
，你必須確保自己的正確的，搞清楚細節是什麼。
With LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook as the main stars of the
team, finding strong role players will be imperative. Ham spoke about his eagern
ess to witness the growth of the Lakers’ current role players.
以LBJ、AD和龜龜為球隊的主要球星，尋找強大的角色球員將是當務之急。Ham談到了他渴望
見證湖人隊現有角色球員成長的渴望。
“Being specifically locked in on what it is your job is going to be. And being
able to coach these guys at this level,” Ham said. “That’s, you know, everybo
dy here that’s playing in NBA has talent. But how do you focus that talent in t
he right areas in the right directions?
Ham：清楚你的工作將是什麼，並且能夠在這個水準上指導這些人。也就是說，你知道，在N
BA打球的每個人都有天賦。但是，你如何將人才集中在正確的領域和正確的方向上？
“So your team can thrive based on what you’re as being one of many contributio
ns and you know, we know we have our stars and Bron, AD, Russ and the like, and,
but it’s those Austin Reaves and Stanley Johnson’s. So you know, these guys,
the more they continue to get better. Sometimes it’s the most fulfilling becaus
e they’re growing, you’re developing and growing your kids from within. And I
’ve seen that happen when we were in Atlanta; I saw it happen in Milwaukee. And
I wholeheartedly anticipated happening here in L.A.”
Ham：因此，你的球隊可以根據你作為眾多貢獻之一而蓬勃發展。我們有球星，LBJ、AD和龜
龜等，但Austin Reaves、Stanley Johnson等(年輕球員)也在成長，有時候這是最讓人滿意
的，因為他們正在成長，你正在自己發展和培養你的孩子。我在老鷹經歷過這種情況，公鹿
也是，我期待這一切在洛杉磯發生。
