In a discussion Sunday night, Avery Johnson revealed a bit of Nets history we
would like to un-hear, un-know: that the Nets were thisclose to getting Danny
Green.
After the Spurs' win over the Heat, Green's' shooting was a hot topic on
First Take, hosted by Stephen A. Smith. Johnson took the opportunity to talk
about how good he thought Green was during his tenure at Nets coach.
馬刺後衛Danny Green在昨天戰勝熱火的比賽中打破了雷-阿倫保持的總決賽3分命中數
紀錄。在賽後由ESPN主持人Stephen A. Smith主持的節目中，前籃網主帥Avery Johnson
爆料，籃網曾經試圖讓馬刺裁掉Green，從而他們可以將他帶到籃網，而且他們差一點
就成功了。
AJ: "I remember with the Nets, Billy King and I, we were trying convince Pop
to cut Danny Green so we could bring him at the time to New Jersey."
Avery Johnson：「我記得我在籃網時，我和（總經理）Billy King曾試圖說服波波維
奇裁掉Danny Green，這樣我們就可以把他帶來籃網了。」
SAS: "You were trying to hoodwink Pop?
SAS：「你們在試著欺騙波波？」
AJ: "YES!" (all laugh)
Avery Johnson：「是的。」(全場都笑了)
SAS: "Oh my goodness! You were trying to hoodwink Pop."
SAS：「喔~ 我的天阿！你們竟然試著欺騙波波。」
AJ: "And Pop said if he has one more bad game we're going to cut him and he
made a bunch of threes in this one particular game and he kept him."
Avery Johnson：「而且波波說，如果Green下場再打的不好，他們就把他裁了。然後
就那場，他投中了一堆3分，然後他們就把他留下了。」
If so, sounds like January 7, 2012, when Green hit 3 of 4 three pointers on
the way to 24 points in 33 minutes.
The Nets didn't get Danny Green, but on February 27, 2012, seven weeks later,
Gerald Green, Danny's cousin, signed a contract with the New Jersey Nets.
Johnson沒有指出是哪場，不過似乎是2012年1月7號，馬刺121-117戰勝金塊的比賽。
Green在那場比賽中得到24分，3分球4投3中。而在2月27號，籃網簽下了Danny Green
的堂哥Gerald Green。
A league source, asked if he recalled the discussions, responded, "I most
definitely do."
而在被問到能否回憶起當時的討論時，有一個聯盟消息源稱：「當然能。」
