[外絮] Doc Rivers：湖人太快放棄Dlo了

Doc Rivers: Lakers gave up on D'Angelo Russell too soon By Brian Lewis March 18, 2019 | 12:56am 在上一場快艇對籃網賽後， 快艇總教練Doc Rivers對籃網後衛D'Angelo Russell發表自己的看法。 “He played at Montverde [Academy] in Orlando. He played a lot in the summer with Austin [Rivers], so I’ve been able to see him for a long, long time,” Rivers said. “I was disappointed early on, because I just thought that he was really good. Sometimes, you’ve just got to wait on a kid. Rivers表示： 「他曾在奧蘭多的Montverde學院打過球，暑假期間常跟我兒子一起練球， 因此我認識他很久很久了。當初看到湖人放棄Russell時我很失望，因為他非常出色。 有時候你必須對年輕球員有耐心。」 “The same thing with teams. Especially in this young group. You look at each draft and there’s guys that come out at 19 and they don’t take off right away. They get moved around, and the next thing you know, they’re players. It happens more than we know, and it happened to D’Angelo.” Rivers接著說： 「對球隊也一樣，尤其是年輕球隊。你看看每年參加選秀的球員都19歲出頭而已， 不可能馬上就打出名堂，他們總會經歷起伏。 而你必須知道的事情是，他們只是球員，很多事情發生超乎我們預期， D'Angelo就是一個例子。」 Nets coach Kenny Atkinson, who has both aided in and benefitted from the 23-year-old Russell’s growth, agrees that young players simply have a learning curve they must go through. 籃網總教練Kenny Atkinson也同意年輕球員有各自成長的軌跡。 “Yeah, I don’t know what that development window looks like. Some guys it’ s not one year,” Atkinson said. “There’s only LeBron; I can’t think of a ton of guys it happened for in one year, Year 2. The way I look at it, it’s a three-, four-year process. Atkinson表示： 「我不知道什麼是發展窗口。有些球員不是一年就能打出表現的，只有LeBron才做得到。 我不認為很多球員能在一兩年內就能打出表現，在我看來需要三到四年的時間才行。」 全文：https://goo.gl/2gbJN9 -- 老河一直鞭屍 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.167.76.135 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1553014222.A.199.html
