[花邊] Dell承認原本不希望勇士隊選擇Curry

來源：http://bit.ly/2WcfKWB 內容： A lot of strange things, in hindsight, had to happen for Stephen Curry to end up being drafted by the Golden State Warriors back in 2009. Five teams passed on him. One team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, infamously passed on him twice, s electing Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn with back-to-back picks at No. 5 and No. 6. 當我們事後再回頭看2009年勇士隊選擇Curry的經過，會發現藏著許多怪事。 總共五隊Pass他，其中以明尼蘇達灰狼隊的“二度Pass”更為知名，灰狼隊在第五、第六順 位選擇了Ricky Rubio和Jonny Flynn。 The hope in the Curry camp was that he would fall to the New York Knicks at No . 8. As the draft went on, the only team in the way of that happening was the Wa rriors, whose head coach at the time, Don Nelson, loved the Davidson sharpshoote r and wanted to take him at No. 7. As the Warriors' pick approached, Nelson reac hed out to Steph's father, Dell Curry, whose opinion was valued as a 16-year NBA vet, to ask his thoughts about Golden State drafting his son. Dell wasn't havin g it. 原本Curry陣營希望落在第八順位的尼克隊。隨著時間過去，能夠當下尼克隊選擇Curry的只 剩下勇士隊，當時的總教練Don Nelson超愛這位來自Davidson的射手，並且想要將他於第七 順位拿下。 當勇士隊的選擇越來越近時，Nelson找到了Dell，以他十六年在NBA打滾的經驗，詢問他的 意見。但Dell不想要。 "Don't," Dell recalled telling Nelson. "You asked me the question, I'll tell you the truth. Don't [draft him]." 「別。」Dell回憶起他告訴Nelson，「你問我這個問題，我告訴你實話。別（選他）。」 There have been stories about Curry, and his family, not wanting to go to the Wa rriors that have gotten out over the years. Stories about how Curry didn't work out for the Warriors and made it clear in closed-door discussions that he had no desire to play there. Steph liked the fast pace the Knicks played with at the t ime, and Dell has mentioned on a number of occasions that the Warriors' losing c ulture and bad locker room leadership was a big deterrent in their mind. 其實早有Curry不希望被勇士選到的傳聞，還有Curry不適合勇士以及Curry早以跟勇士表明 他不想去勇士。Curry喜歡當年尼克隊的快球風。Dell也提到了勇士隊的輸球文化跟不佳的 休息室領導者是不去勇士的原因。 Nevertheless, Nelson took Curry. 總之，Nelson選了Curry。 And what a great decision that was. 而那是一個多棒的決策。 Curry and the Warriors have gone on to revolutionize the game together, winning three of the past four NBA championships while Steph has racked up two MVP award s, including the only unanimous vote in 2016. Some things are just meant to be. Curry跟勇士已革命性的席捲聯盟，四年內拿了三個冠軍，Curry還拿了兩個MVP，包括2016 年拿下前所未見的全票MVP。 其實有些事情是必然會發生的。 心得：可以想像當時Dell的臉色大概很難看。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 110.26.228.254 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1559188463.A.549.html
