Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says Manu Ginobili is ‘too smart’ to be a coach
馬刺教練Gregg Popovich說Manu Ginobili太聰明 沒辦法當教練
After 16 seasons playing for one of the greatest coaches in NBA history and
helping to form one of the most successful runs of any franchises in sports
in the last two decades, it would seem that Manu Ginobili would fare well in
life after basketball.
在替NBA史上最偉大的教練之一打球16年，幫助馬刺球團在過去20年內建立了運動界裡幾個
成功職業運動之一，看起來Manu Ginobili要跟籃球說掰掰了。
But despite being known for his tremendous work ethic and basketball IQ,
Ginobili is actually “too smart” to be a head coach, according to Gregg
Popovich:
儘管Manu以他的工作倫理以及籃球球商聞名，但是，根據Gregg Popovich的說法，
Ginobili實際上太過聰明，沒辦法當教練。
"Pop said Manu is “too smart” to be a coach. Said Manu told him he doesn’t
want to coach. Pop said if Manu does decide to stay in the game, he can see
him go into management or scouting."
「Popo說Manu太聰明了，沒辦法當教練。Popo說Manu跟他講說他不想當教練。若是他想繼
續在籃球界裡，Popo說他會覺得Manu會去制服組或者當球探。」
Manu will have his jersey retired tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers,
officially capping a professional basketball playing career that lasted 19
seasons including the three years that he spent in the EuroLeague. Having
given nearly half of his life to the game, one can only guess what life after
basketball will entail for Ginobili.
Manu的球衣會在今晚馬刺對決騎士的晚上退休，正式宣告他19年的職業籃球生涯，包括了3
年在歐洲打球的時間，正式畫下句點。在他近一半的人生都在籃球界奮鬥後，大家會猜想
到底在退休後Manu的生活會是如何。
However, Ginobili has iterated to Popovich and former teammates that he does
not want to coach, so if is to stay in the game he would likely move into a
front office role.
然而，Manu跟Popo以及其他前隊友講過，他不想當教練，所以若他真的想要繼續在籃球界
裡，那他可能就真的要去制服組裡了。
The two-time All-Star and former Sixth Man of the Year was renowned
throughout NBA circles for his professionalism, court vision and–of course–
popularizing the “Eurostep” that is now employed by some of the game’s
elite superstars.
這兩屆全明星以及年度第六人以他的籃球專業，場上視野，以及他帶起風潮的"歐洲步"在
NBA界裡為人所知，尤其歐洲步現在被一些NBA明星球員廣為採用。
Popovich was already a championship-winning coach with San Antonio before
Ginobili came into the league, but his entire system focused around post
touches for Tim Duncan and Hall of Fame center David Robinson.
Popo在Ginobili進入NBA前就已經帶領馬刺拿到冠軍了，但是他的體系主要是圍繞Tim
Duncan跟名人堂中鋒David Robinson的低位戰術。
But in a recent interview that the Spurs posted to their Twitter account,
Duncan said:
但是在最近一次馬刺球團在推特上放了一段影片，Duncan說：
“Instead of Pop changing people and breaking people of habits and having
them conforming to what the Spurs did, Manu went the opposite direction,”
Duncan said. “He kind of broke the system.”
「不像Popo會改變人，打破他們的習慣，讓他們變成馬刺體系，Manu則是相反，」Duncan
說。「他有點是打破這個體系。」
In a way, Ginobili’s individualism allowed the likes of Tony Parker and
Kawhi Leonard to flourish as All-Star players under Popovich, which has
helped the Spurs continue to achieve success throughout the years.
總而言之，Ginobili的獨特性讓像是Tony Parker跟Kawhi Leonard這樣的的球員逐漸成長
成全明星等級，這也幫助了馬刺在過去這段期間可以持續進步，達成目標。
