Doc Rivers Defends His 25-Year Coaching Career: "I've Never Come Up Short"

老河受訪談到外界對他的批評
"I’ve never come up short, in my opinion. Come up short? What does that mean?
Like, we didn’t win a title? I go back in Philly. I took that job after we l
ost in the first round 4-0 (to the Celtics in 2020 under Brett Brown). The nex
t year, we win the East in the regular season. All right. We are one game away
from the Eastern finals.
在我看來，我從未失敗過，失敗是什麼意思？像是我們沒贏過冠軍？我到費城前，球隊首
輪被橫掃。之後我帶領球隊在例行賽獲得了東區第一，並且離東決只差一場勝利。
"So there’s times where I’m like we’re being evaluated on a different stand
ard. And the great news is I’ve created that standard. So for me, that’s goo
d. But then when the narrative comes that you can’t do it, that’s bulls**t.
Because I’ve done it and I can do it. It’s just hard to do it. It’s just ha
rd."
所以有時候我覺得我們是被按照不同的標準來評估的。好消息是我已經創建了這個標準。
所以對我來說，這很好。但當有人說你做不到的時候，那就是胡說八道。因為我做到過，
我能做到，只是做起來很難。
"So I’ve always looked at it that way. Listen, I’m eighth in wins. I’m four
th in playoff wins. My dad used to say something, ‘If somebody said something
you would never listen to, why would you ever pay attention to it?’ You know
what I mean? My numbers don’t lie."
所以我一直都是這樣看的，聽著，我的勝場數排歷史第八，季後賽勝場數排歷史第四。如
果有人說了你永遠不會聽的話，你為什麼要在意呢？數據不會說謊。
"I’ve coached for 25 years and I’ve had two losing seasons. And the two losi
ng seasons, we were trying to f**king lose, yeah. So I’ve made the playoffs
— whatever, I don’t even know — 21 out of 25 years."
我執教25年了，經歷過兩個失敗的賽季，那兩個賽季我們是擺爛的，我在25年裡有21個賽
季進了季後賽。
"It’s almost like Deion Sanders said in that interview. There’s nothing you
can say or do that’s going to take away from what I’ve done, and I’ll never
allow that. Having said that, I want to do more. And to do more, you have to
put yourself in situations where you’re going to be criticized if you don’t
do it. And I’m fine with that."
這就像是Deion Sanders（美式足球教練）在之前採訪所說的那樣，無論你說什麼或做什
麼，都無法抹殺我所做的一切，我永遠不會允許這種情況發生，話雖如此，我還想做得更
多。為了做得更多，你必須把自己置於如果不做就會受到批評的境地，對此我沒問題。
