After firing coach Jacque Vaughn, the Brooklyn Nets are promoting assistant
Kevin Ollie to interim head coach, sources told ESPN.

消息人士告知 ESPN，在解雇原任總教練 Jacque Vaughn 之後，籃網將擢升原助教 KevinOllie 以暫代總教練一職。

Ollie will run the Nets' practice on Tuesday and start his head-coaching
duties on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors, sources said. The Nets have
28 regular-season games left.

Ollie 將負責星期二開始的籃網隊內訓練，並在星期四對陣暴龍隊的比賽中開始展開執教工作。籃網本賽季尚有二十八場例行賽比賽。

The Nets' hopes are that Ollie can re-energize a roster that has dropped intothe bottom 10 in offensive and defensive efficiency since mid-December. Ollie-- who played 13 seasons in the NBA -- won a national championship as UConn'scoach in 2014 and joined the Nets as an assistant coach this season.

籃網希望藉著 Ollie，來重新激發打從十二月中旬以來，在攻防效率上都落入後段班的陣容。過去效力了十三個賽季的他，曾於2014年為康涅狄格大學贏得全國總冠軍，並在本賽季加入籃網、擔任助教。

In two-plus seasons as the Nets' coach, Vaughn was 71-68 in the regular
season and 0-8 in the playoffs. He replaced Steve Nash a season ago before
going 43-32 and getting swept in the first round of the Eastern Conference
playoffs.

在籃網擔任總教練超過一個賽季的期間， Vaughn 在例行賽的戰績是71勝68敗、季後賽則是八戰全敗。他在 Steve Nash 拿下43勝32敗、季後賽東部首輪被橫掃後，取代了他的位置。

"To Joe Tsai, Clara Wu-Tsai, Ollie Weisberg, Sam Zussman, Sean Marks and
front office, Nets coaches, staff, players, BSE family and the entire
Brooklyn borough: It was a pleasure being your Head Coach," said Vaughn in a
statement issued to ESPN following his dismissal. "I hope each individual I
interacted with felt respected and valued. Just know I gave you everything I
had every single day. Onto the next chapter. Amor Fati."

Vaughn 在被免職後，於發給 ESPN 的一則聲明中說：

「致蔡崇信、吳明華、Ollie Weisberg、Sam Zussman、Sean Marks 等高層，教練團、工 作人員、球員等成員，能擔任貴隊的總教練是我的榮幸。我希望曾與我進行互動的各位 都能受到尊重和重視。只要知道我每天都給了你我所擁有的一切。進入下一篇章。命運 之愛。」

＊編按：「命運之愛」指代一種態度，即認為生活中發生的一切，包括痛苦和損失，都是 好的，或者至少是必要的。往往會與尼采的「永恆輪迴」概念共同使用。

Vaughn got his first chance to coach the Nets in March 2020 after Kenny
Atkinson was fired just before the season was suspended because of the
COVID-19 pandemic. He led the Nets to a 7-3 record and into the playoffs in
the restart "bubble" at Walt Disney World, but the Nets then opted to give
the head-coaching job to Nash, despite having no experience. Vaughn stayed onas an assistant.

Vaughn 在2020年三月 Kenny Atkinson 於新冠疫情導致賽季停擺前被免職後，第一次獲得執教籃網隊的機會。他率領籃網隊取得七勝三敗的戰績，並進入迪士尼世界的「泡泡」賽季季後賽，但此後籃網決定讓 Nash 在沒有經驗的情況下執起教鞭，Vaughn 則繼續擔任助教。

"This was an incredibly difficult decision, but one we feel is in the best
interest of the team going forward," said Nets general manager Sean Marks in
a statement. "Jacque has represented this organization with exemplary
character and class for the past eight years. The consistent positivity and
passion he poured into our team daily will remain with the players and staff
he interacted with throughout his tenure. We thank Jacque for all he has donefor the Nets and the borough of Brooklyn, and wish him, Laura and their
family nothing but the best in the future."

籃網隊總經理 Sean Marks 在另一份聲明中說：

「這是極其艱難的決定，但為了讓球隊往前邁進，是我們所作出的最好安排。在過去的八 年間，Vaughn以其模範品格代表了這球隊。他每天為我們團隊注入的一貫積極性和熱情 將留存於在他整個任期內，與其互動的球員和工作人員之中。我們感謝 Vaughn 為籃網 和布魯克林社區所做的一切，並祝福他、Laura 和他們的家人未來一切順利。」

Vaughn is 129-226 as an NBA coach, having gone 58-158 in his first
opportunity with Orlando.

Vaughn 在擔任總教練時期，總計繳出129勝226敗的表現，其中在第一次為魔術執教期間，取得58勝158敗。

The Nets are rebuilding the roster around forward Mikal Bridges. They hold
significant salary cap space and draft capital to build around him this
summer and beyond.

籃網隊正在前鋒大橋的身邊重塑其陣容，他們在今年夏天之後，握有許多的薪資空間和選秀資本。

短評：

才剛接下助教職不到一個賽季就要上去救火，但願一切順利...
