Doc and Austin Rivers have spent time together in the NBA already, but the Philadelphia 76ers head coach steered his son away from signing with his new team this offseason

老河流(Doc Rivers)和小河流(Austin Rivers)父子在聯盟裡已經共同度過不少時光，但這個休賽季我們的76人主帥卻主動將他兒子支開而不讓他與自己的隊伍簽約。

Speaking to Marc Berman of the New York Post, Doc explained why he pushed hisson to join the New York Knicks :

而在跟紐約郵報的記者Marc Berman的對話中，老河流解釋了他為何推著小河流與尼克簽約：

"He was high on Philly's list before I took the job. It was one of the guardsthey wanted. When I took the job, I said, 'You don't want that. You got too many other things we have to deal with."

「他（小河流）在我接這份工作前實際上就已經在76人理想名單中的前段，他是76人當時想要的後衛之一。而當我接下這份工作時，我就跟他說：『你不會想要這樣（跟76人簽約）的，你身上有太多我們需要額外處理的事情了。』」

For Austin it's better. He's his own player. Unfortunately for him, me being the dad, he's just an easy guy to target. I have felt since the separation, it's been really good for him."

「而對於Austin來說絕對是更好的，他是一個獨立的好球員，只是很不幸的，我是他的老爸，而這讓他變成一個容易被鎖定的對象。
實際上從我們之前分開我就一直覺得，分開的確讓他過得更好。」

Doc also said he told Austin that New York "is a great place" and his experience with the Knicks as a player was "great."

老河流同時也說他告訴小河流紐約「是個好地方」，而他在尼克當球員的經驗也非常「棒」。

The father-son duo spent more than three seasons together with the Los Angeles Clippers from 2015 to 2018. Austin is the first player in NBA history to play for a team where his father is the head coach. The Clippers made the playoffs three out of four seasons with Doc as head coach and Austin as a player.

另外這對父子組合在洛杉磯快艇隊共同度過從2015～2018年四個賽季，而小河流也是NBA史上第一個在自己老爸執教的球隊中打球的球員，且快艇在他們共同效力的四個賽季中，有三個賽季打進了季後賽。

Despite having the opportunity to reunite this offseason with Doc moving to the Sixers, Austin joined the Knicks in a sign-and-trade deal with the Houston Rockets on Nov. 27. The 28-year-old averaged 8.8 points in 68 games last season with the Rockets.

而儘管曾經有機會在這個休賽季與老河流在76人重聚，小河流在11/27仍然因火箭與尼克的簽換交易加入了尼克。目前28歲的小河流前一季在火箭打出了場均8.8分的成績。

Doc played with the Knicks from 1992 to 1994. He was part of the team that advanced to the 1994 NBA Finals before losing to the Rockets in seven games.

老河流則是在1992～1994年效力於尼克，並且與隊友在1994年時一同帶領尼克隊闖進總決賽，然而最終仍於第七場惜敗火箭。

心得：父子情深令人動容？
