Pacers Possibly Moving On From Nate McMillan Has 'Been The Hottest Rumor All Season'

原文作者:JEFF VAN GUNDY, ZACH LOWE/ESPN (RealGM摘要轉錄)

Jeff Van Gundy and Zach Lowe speculated on the future of Nate McMillan as
head coach of the Indiana Pacers during a podcast on Thursday.

ESPN籃球報導團隊的兩位名嘴—Jeff Van Gundy與Zach Lowe,在上周四的Podcast
節目中,推測了溜馬隊總教練Nate McMillan的未來。

(註︰這個節目的正式名稱為「The Lowe Post」,顧名思義是由Zach Lowe擔任
主持人,即使在停賽期間仍維持一周至少2集的更新頻率,他與JVG的對話錄音

McMillan was promoted by the Pacers from assistant coach to head coach to
replace Frank Vogel in 2016.

McMillan(以下簡稱老麥)在離開拓荒者後,在2013年加入溜馬的助教團,並且在
2016年Frank Vogel沒被續約後,升官接掌總教練職務。

"All the Indiana Pacers do under Nate McMillan is win," said Zach Lowe.

Lowe先以這段話起頭︰「老麥掌管下的溜馬隊,做到最好的事情就是『努力贏球』
。」

Lowe also credited how the Pacers have created a culture of commitment on
defense, but suggested the franchise could make a coaching change to take a
leap offensively.

主持人也讚美了溜馬建立了球員願意積極防守的文化,但他也暗示球隊假如要大幅
提升進攻的品質,可能會做教練的更動。

"I've had two people come up to me since I've been here and say 'You know,
Nate McMillan is in trouble," said Van Gundy.

JVG回覆道︰「我自從來到奧蘭多園區之後,的確有兩個聯盟相關人士,在跟我寒暄
後,順便補爆料『你知道嗎,老麥正陷入(可能下台)的麻煩中。』」

"It's been the hottest rumor all season," interjected Lowe. "It's been a
rumor all season long."

主持人又插嘴︰「這其實是這個球季最熱門的乳摸啊,一個圍繞了整個球季的乳摸
啊!」

Van Gundy asserted the Pacers could risk taking a bigger step back by moving
on from McMillan.

然而,JVG也斷言溜馬一旦不再與McMillan續約,球隊也將承受戰績大退化的
風險。

"What you've heard in Orlando has been going around all season," said Lowe.

Lowe added that the Pacers have denied the rumor to him privately.

Lowe又有點跳針的回應「你在奧蘭多聽到的那些話,已經傳遍整個賽季了!」
但他最後也補充︰溜馬隊已經私下對他否認了這個會影響球隊士氣的謠言。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

心得︰隨著例行賽終於要進入尾聲,一些球隊教練/管理組的人事異動謠言
也逐漸登上美國主流運動媒體的版面了

跟連兩年無緣季後賽的鵜鶘隊Alvin Gentry相比,
「McMillan也有職務不保危機」這個議題,雖然看起來多少有炒新聞的意味,
畢竟老麥這次擔任總教練,算是多少記取了拓荒者挫敗的教訓,
使自己不會太被媒體風向牽著走,而且溜馬隊連三年止步於首輪,
也多少有球隊自身實力不如對手的非戰之罪;
甚至於T.J. Warren的竄起,對於老麥本身的執教也有相當的加分作用

不過溜馬今年在東區還是只能排第五名,也難怪會有人唱衰老麥拿不到續約了

PS︰若要說誰在溜馬的地位最危險,其實答案也不難推測,
那就是溜馬主力球員中,少數既是自選又有樂透身價的Myles Turner,
雖然他仍能在少數比賽中證明有拿20分的實力,
但復賽後卻也有2場比賽的得分不到10分,
無論以得分火力均衡還是隊中地位的角度來看,都是相對吃虧的
