[外絮] Kerr透露KT被下放板凳時對他大吼大叫過

Klay Thompson yelled at Kerr, coaching staff when initially moved to bench, but has settled in well KT起初被下放板凳時對Kerr及教練團大吼大叫，但他最後調適得很好 In six games coming off the bench for the Warriors, Klay Thompson is averaging 19.2 points a game with a 62.4 true shooting percentage and he's hitting 44.1% from 3 — all numbers that are up from the 49 games he started before that. He's doing all that in three fewer minutes a game, too. 在勇士板凳出發的6場比賽中，KT以62.4%的真實命中率平均拿下19.2分，三分命中率 44.1%--全部的數據都比先發49場還來的高。他每場少打3分鐘卻完成了這些事。 Klay Thompson is thriving in his bench role — and the Warriors are 5-1 in those six games — but that doesn't mean he handled it well when first told what was happening. Kendra Andrews of ESPN did a deep dive into Thompson's sixth-man role and had this from Steve Kerr. KT對他板凳的角色演繹得相當出彩—而勇士在那6場比賽中取得5勝1敗—但這不代表他起 初被告這件事情時控制得很好。ESPN的Kendra Andrews深入挖掘KT第六人角色跟Kerr之間 的關係。 Thompson initially didn't take the news well. Kerr told ESPN that Thompson yelled at him and some of the assistants. Later, he came back to apologize to the coaches. "It was not an easy conversation," Kerr said. "This is maybe the hardest part about getting further away from our prime. It's just, after 12 years [of Thompson starting], it wasn't easy. And still moving forward, it's not going to be easy. But I told him, 'If you really embrace it, you can help your team win.'" KT起初無法很好的看待這件事情。Kerr告訴ESPN說KT當時對他和一些助教大吼大叫。但他 之後有回去跟教練們道歉。「這不是個簡單的對話。」Kerr說。「這可能是我們巔峰時期 之後最困難的部分。在(KT開始職業生涯)12年後，這就不是那麼簡單。但我們仍然要向前 進，縱使這不會很簡單。但我告訴他，『如果你擁抱這個(角色)，那你就可以幫助球隊贏 球』。」 You can't fault a competitor for reacting that way. Kerr and Thompsons said it was a wise decision to make the move just before the All-Star break, which gave Thompson time to process the change and come at it with a better attitude (although he scored 35 points in that first game off the bench, so he handled it well that night, too). 你不能責怪一個具競爭心的人有這樣的反應。Kerr跟KT說在明星賽休息前做出這樣的決定 是明智的，這可以給KT時間去做改變，去作出更好的態度(縱使他第一場板凳出發就拿下 35分，所以他其實在那晚比賽也就處理得很好。) We've had a front-row seat this season to watching Thompson deal with his basketball mortality. He is a future Hall of Fame player and part of one of the NBA's great dynasty teams, but few players get to wind down their careers on their own terms. Few get the John Elway exit. Thompson and the Warriors as a whole are dealing with that as their dynasty era sunsets — it took Kerr a long time to come around on starting Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski, giving this roster what it needed to have a chance at a run this season. It's not easy to accept that we're not what we once were and things have changed both with us and around us. Golden State has struggled with that top to bottom. 我們本季已經坐在第一排看過KT面對他的籃球生涯退化。他是個未來名人堂球員，且是 NBA偉大王朝球隊成員之一，但很少球員能以自己的方式結束生涯。很少人能像John Elway那樣離開。KT跟勇士都面臨王朝時代的謝幕—這讓Kerr開始給予Kuminga及Podz長時 間先發上場，給出這樣的輪值表讓勇士本季仍能保有機會。我們很難去接受我們已經不是 昔日的樣子，且時光荏苒、週遭事物物換星移。勇士上至管理層下到球員都充滿掙扎。 Fortunately for Thompson, he seems to have found his lane and is thriving now. He and Chris Paul off the bench dramatically change the non-Stephen Curry minutes for the Warriors, and that's one thing that gives them a chance when the postseason comes. 對KT來說幸運的是，他似乎已經找到他的路線且茁壯強大。他與CP3從板凳出發戲劇性地 改變Curry不在場時的勇士，而這給會在季後賽來臨時多給他們一點機會。 https://reurl.cc/G4v1zD 心得：對KT來說應該一開始真的很難接受啦，記得當初收官時被放板凳就 很不爽了。還好後來有慢慢接受調適心情。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.171.69.86 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1709386893.A.5A3.html
