Warriors’ Mike Brown on coaching LeBron James & James joining Lakers
勇士助理教練Mike Brown講到執教LBJ
LAS VEGAS – Nothing could disrupt Mike Brown’s state of relaxation.
沒有什麼事情可以打擾Mike Brown的悠閒心境了。
The Warriors’ assistant coach just returned from France after attending a
friend’s wedding. Only a month ago, Brown won his second consecutive NBA
championship with the Warriors. And he spent Monday watching his son, Elijah,
playing in the Warriors’ summer-league loss on Dallas.
他才剛從法國回來，參加完朋友的婚禮。一個月前，他與勇士拿下連續第二年的冠軍，星
期一他在達拉斯看他兒子在勇士夏聯的比賽。
Nothing could rattle Brown, not even the NBA’s frenetic free agency period
that included LeBron James joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
沒有什麼可以嚇到Brown的了，即使是今年夏天最大筆的FA交易LBJ加入洛杉磯湖人。
“I don’t really think it does anything for us. No matter where he is or no
matter what anybody else does, everybody gets up and plays us,” Brown told
Bay Area News Group. “Everybody is gunning for us. It doesn’t matter if it’
s the Lakers and LeBron, the Clippers or whoever else. It’s going to be a
dog fight. I don’t know if it does anything for us as a team.”
「我不認為那跟我們球隊有甚麼關係，不管LBJ去哪裡或是其他人做了什麼，每個人就是要
上場打球跟我們對戰，」Brown說。「每個人都是在針對我們，所以不管是LBJ跟湖人，或
是其他隊伍，這將會是一場混戰，所以，我不知道這些會跟我們有什麼關係。」
Is that because the Warriors now have five All-Stars after acquiring DeMarcus
Cousins?
這跟勇士拿到表弟有關係嗎?
“Yes,” Brown said, laughing.
「是的，」Brown笑著說。
Brown will soon work with the Warriors’ four other All-Stars in Stephen
Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. While all those
players will participate a minicamp here for the U.S. Men’s national team
from July 25-27, Brown will serve as one of the assistant coaches under Gregg
Popovich.
Brown很快就要跟勇士其他四名明星球員，Curry，KD，Green跟KT一起工作。這些球員會在
7/25-27參加美國代表隊的迷你訓練營，Brown會是助理教練之一，波總是總教練。
Before then, Brown sounded deferential on speaking with Lakers coach Luke
Walton about James after coaching him during most of his first stint with the
Cleveland Cavaliers (2005-2010).
在那之前，Brown說到跟湖人總教練Luke Walton講到有關他在騎士執教LBJ的經驗。
“If Luke asks me, I’ll give him my perspective. He’s a fantastic
individual and extremely smart basketball player,” Brown said about James. “
He knows the game inside and out on both ends of the floor. Luke should feel
extremely lucky, blessed and fortunate, like anybody who has had a chance to
coach LeBron and be able to work with him. There’s no magic in it. He’s a
great guy and you coach him as you see fit. He’ll buy into anything you say.
Best of luck to them both, except when they play us.”
「如果Luke問我，我會跟他講我的觀點。LBJ是很好的人也是非常聰明的球員，」Brown說
到LBJ。「他非常了解比賽，裡裡外外，攻守兩端。Luke應該要為有機會可以執教LBJ感到
幸運的，這沒什麼神奇的方法當他的教練，他是個很好的人，你教了就知道。他會聽你講
的任何事。祝福他們兩個，除了之後跟我們打球的時候。」
Brown laughed after saying those words. He then immediately turned serious on
the perception that James brings plenty of drama along with his obvious
talent.
Brown在說了這些之後大笑，但是隨即轉為認真的態度講到LBJ以及這一連串戲劇化的過
程。
“Everybody says he’s difficult to coach and all that. But he’s not,”
Brown said. “That’s the only thing that comes with it – the attention that
he brings to the table is off the charts. When you have that kind of caliber
of player and kind of attention that comes with it, that’s something that
you deal with and get used to it. The team gets used to it. He’s not going
to bring any unnecessary attention upon him or the team.”
「每個人都說他很難教之類的，但是是他一點也不是那樣的人，」Brown說。「那是因為其
他的事情伴隨而來的關係
