NBA Coach:
'Jayson Tatum Is About Jayson Tatum';
'Don't Think He Cares About Winning'
內文：
An unnamed NBA assistant coach took a shot at Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatu
m for his perceived lack of a team-first approach.
"Jayson Tatum is about Jayson Tatum," the Eastern Conference coach told ESPN's
Tim Bontemps. "I don't think he cares about winning now, and if he does, it is o
n his terms. He doesn't want to score 15 and win. He wants to score 39 and win."
Tatum's scoring average (25.7 points per game) is down only slightly from last s
eason (26.4), but his offensive efficiency has taken a major hit during the earl
y stages of the 2021-22 campaign.
The fifth-year pro out of Duke is shooting career-worst percentages from the fie
ld (41.2) and on three-pointers (33.3), and he's averaging nearly an assist less
per game (3.5) than last season (4.3).
His mediocre shooting combined with taking a career-high number of field-goal at
tempts (22.4) has created a situation when the Boston offense often gets caught
in a rut when he's struggling.
Teammate Marcus Smart has raised that concern about Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who'
s averaging 18.3 shots per game, and suggested they need to distribute the ball
more often.
"Every team knows we're trying to go to Jayson and Jaylen," Smart told reporter
s after a Nov. 1 loss to the Chicago Bulls. "Every team is programmed and studi
ed to stop Jayson and Jaylen. I think everybody's scouting report is to make tho
se guys pass the ball. They don't want to pass the ball."
Tatum, 23, addressed those remarks a week later, saying they held a meeting to
discuss everyone's concerns.
"Personally, I mean, we talked about it—individually and had a team meeting, I
guess. But I know how to play basketball. I've been doing it a long time, and I'
m pretty successful at it," he said.
Tatum, in the first season of a five-year, $163 million contract, added he know
s there's "a lot to improve on."
It's not like the sky is falling on the Celtics. They've improved their record t
o 10-8 with a modest three-game winning streak and have won eight of their past
11 games since Smart's comments.
Tatum's shot has also started to fall as he's shot 50 percent from the field (46
of 92) over the C's last four games while converting 38.0 percent of his threes
(16 of 42).
As long as those trends continue, any criticism of the two-time All-Star will fa
de into the background.

一位不願公開姓名的NBA助理教練對塞爾提克的Jayson Tatum進行批評，認為他缺乏以團隊
為先的方法。
“Jayson Tatum只在乎Jayson Tatum”這位NBA教練告訴ESPN的Tim Bontemps。“我不認為
他現在在乎贏球，又或者是要滿足他的條件他才想贏球。他不想只得到15分贏球。他想自己
得到39分再贏球。”
Jayson Tatum的平均得分（每場25.7分）只比上季（26.4分）略有下降，但在2021-22賽季
的季初，他的進攻受到了嚴重的打擊。
這位來自杜克大學的第五年職業球員的外線投籃命中率(41.2)和三分球命中率(33.3)都是生
涯最差的，而且他的平均每場比賽助攻(3.5)比上一季(4.3)少了一次。
他平庸的投籃加上職業生涯最高的出手次數（22.4次），造成了一種情況，當他掙扎時，塞
爾提克的進攻經常陷入困境。
隊友Marcus Smart對Jayson Tatum和平均每場18.3次出手的Jaylen Brown提出了這種擔憂，
並建議他們需要更頻繁地分配球。
"每支球隊都知道我們試圖去找Jayson Tatum和Jaylen Brown，"Marcus Smart在11月1日輸
給芝加哥公牛隊後告訴記者。 "每支球隊都被編排和研究過，以阻止Jaylen Brown和Jayso
n Tatum。我認為每個人的球探報告都是為了讓這些人傳球。他們不想傳球。"
23歲的Jayson Tatum在一周後談到了這些言論，說他們舉行了一次會議，討論了每個人的擔
憂。
"就個人而言，我的意思是，我們談到了這個問題
