Why Kenny Atkinson is the Right Choice for TheBrook-LIN Nets

何以見得 肯尼·阿特金森 是 布魯克-林 籃網正確的選擇

After seeing his beloved Brooklyn Nets turn intothe league』s cautionary tale under ex general manager Billy King, the ambitiousRussian owner Mikhail Prokhorov finally realized one simple truth – there areno shortcuts to greatness. By appointing Sean Marks as the team』s generalmanager and relieving Lionel Hollins of head coaching duties, the Nets wereready to start fresh. Though it was speculated that the club would have troubleattracting a big name coach, the Nets went on and secured the services of oneof the most talented and sought-after assistant coaches in the NBA, KennyAtkinson.

Nothing else really made sense. Given theircurrent situation, Brooklyn needed a head coach who could both provide playingadvice and serve as a mentor to a young roster that Marks wants to assemble.Kenny Atkinson has certainly got the credentials to be successful in his newjob, and you can bet he』s excited about the opportunity.

 

自從看到自己心愛的球隊 —— 布魯克林網隊 被前總經理比利金敗壞成聯盟中的反面教材後，球隊雄心勃勃的俄羅斯老闆麥克海爾.普洛克霍夫最終意識到了一個簡單的真理 —— 通往偉大沒有捷徑可走。通過任命肖恩.馬克思作為球隊的新任經理和解除萊昂內爾.霍林斯的主教練職務，網隊做好了重新開始的準備。儘管球隊很難吸引一個大牌教練是可以被預計的，但網隊沒有停止他們前進的步伐，他們最終得到了一位極具才華，且在NBA業界深受肯定的助理教練——肯尼.阿特金森。

沒有其他更明智的選擇了，考慮到網隊的現狀，總經理馬克思需要為布魯克林募集一名即能在賽場上運籌帷幄又能充當球隊年輕球員們靈魂導師角色的主教練。肯尼.阿特金森理所當然的獲得了他的新工作，實至名歸！我敢打賭，他一定對獲得這個機會興奮不已！

Ever since his college basketball days,Atkinson was known as a hard worker. He would regularly spend his days off inthe weight room, shooting the basket and doing squats for as long as he couldtake it. His diligence paid off in 1988, when he led the Richmond Spiders tothe NCAA Championship』sSweet Sixteen, defeating defending champions Indiana Hoosiers along the way.Though that was not quite enough to earn him a spot in the NBA – he wentundrafted in 1990 – it did help him carve out a career overseas. During hisfourteen years as a pro player, Atkinson played in France, Italy, Germany,Spain and the Netherlands. Even today, he speaks five languages fluently – atrue testament to his character.

Atkinson』s background helped him get theattention of another player-turned-coach with a European pedigree – MikeD』Antoni, the then-Knicks coach. After learning the tricks of the trade as theDirector of Player Development for the Houston Rockets in 2007-08, he acceptedthe job of assistant coach for the Knicks, where he spent the next four yearsof his career. During this period, he was praised mostly for his player developmentskills. Under his tutelage and tireless drills, Jeremy Lin went from an obscureIvy Leaguer to the NBA』s most thrilling story. It was Lin who said it best –without Atkinson, there might have been no Linsanity at all. With Atkinson asthe assistant coach, the Knicks made the postseason twice, in 2011 and 2012.

從阿特金森在大學打球開始，他的努力勤勉就被人熟知，他會經常在健身房裡消磨他的業餘時光，壓搾自身極限般的做投籃和深蹲訓練。他的勤奮在1988年獲得了回報，他帶領裡士滿蜘蛛隊擊敗衛冕冠軍印第安納人隊，一路殺進了NCAA錦標賽十六強。雖然這還不足以讓他在聯盟中獲得一個位置，他在參加1990年選秀時落選了（和我們書豪同病相憐？怪不得惺惺相惜），但這確實也幫助他在海外開拓了屬於自己的職業生涯。作為職業球員的十四年時間裡，阿特金森的足跡幾乎遍佈整個歐洲知名聯賽，法國、意大利、德國、西班牙、荷蘭…即便是現在，他依舊還能流利地說五種語言（什麼時候能學會中文啊？估計學不會：）—— 這是對他個性的最好證明（歐洲風格的教練，更注重整體，更注重培養挖掘年輕球員？）。

阿特金森的背景幫助他獲得了另一位同樣與歐洲籃球理念血脈相連的教練 —— 麥克.德安東尼的關注和青睞，他也是當時紐約尼克斯的主教練。阿特金森在2007-08擔任休斯頓火箭球員發展總監期間掌握了一些交易方面的竅門後，接受了德安東尼教練給他的擔任尼克斯隊助理教練的邀請，他在那裡一呆就是四年。在紐約尼克斯隊擔任助教期間，他挖掘並提升球員技術的能力被高度肯定。在他的引導和不知疲倦的訓練下，林書豪這個來自常春籐聯盟的球員締造了NBA有史以來最驚人的神話。書豪曾說阿特金森是最好的教練，沒有他，也許根本就不會有林瘋狂的誕生。在阿特金森擔任助教期間，尼克斯於2011和2012兩次殺入季後賽。

Let』s look a bit deeper into Atkinson』scoaching philosophy. Given his stints with the Hawks 2015 Summer League teamand the Dominican Republic, it』s obvious that Atkinson places much importanceon spacing, player positioning and timing. While having some semblance ofspacing is pretty much a given in today』s NBA, Atkinson is one of the fewcoaches who clearly knows how to utilize it in the most efficient way. Lateralball movement has become his calling card, and it seems likely that he』llcontinue with the same strategy in the Nets. Given that this Nets rosterdoesn』t have a clear identity just yet, you can expect Atkinson to try out anumber of different play styles, but the Brook-Lin pick-and-roll, dribble-driveformations and constant motion should play a big part in the team』s offense.

With the matter of their head coach resolved ina satisfying way, the Nets should concentrate their efforts on getting him aroster he can work with. With their offers for Tyler Johnson and Allen Crabbematched by the Heat and the Blazers, respectively, the Nets still have oodlesof cap space that they need to spend before even meeting the new salary floor.While their point guard rotation seems to have been settled by signing Lin andGreivis Vasquez, pretty much every other position needs to be improved with –preferably – young talent. It remains to be seen how the Nets use all thatmoney, but the current situation is not exactly ideal.

讓我們深入一點瞭解一下阿特金森的執教理念。鑒於他2015年帶領老鷹隊征戰夏季聯賽和擔任多米尼克國家隊主教練的工作表現，非常明顯的一點是，阿特金森教練把拉開空間、球員站位和掌握時機放在非常重要的位置。雖然在當今的NBA有不少人和他的執教理念相似，阿特金森仍然是真正清楚的知道怎麼以最有效的方式去執行自己籃球理念的少數幾名教練之一。球的橫向移動（快速傳導球？）已經成為他的名片，而且看起來，他將在網隊沿用他一貫的執教風格。考慮到網隊的球員名冊還不明朗，你可以期待阿特金森教練將許多不同類型的球員招致麾下。但可以預見，布魯克+林（洛佩茲和書豪）的擋拆、運球跑位和不斷跑動應該會在球隊的進攻中發揮巨大作用。

球隊的主教練問題以一種令人滿意的方式解決了，網隊應該集中精力為阿特金森教練網絡能貫徹其執教理念的球員，讓他一展身手。隨著他們中意的泰勒約翰遜和阿倫克拉比分別被他們的母隊熱火和開拓者匹配，網隊仍然有很大的薪資空間可以操作。雖然網隊控衛位置上的輪轉陣容隨著簽下林書豪和瓦茲奎斯基本已經可以確定下來，但其他位置上顯然仍需要通過簽下更好的年輕的有天賦的球員來改善，不過目前來看事情的進展並不理想。

As it stands right now, Kenny Atkinson, BrookLopez and Jeremy Lin are the biggest reasons for new-found optimism among theNets fans. For a hard worker with such a keen basketball mind, it』s a surpriseAtkinson wasn』t offered a head coaching job long before the Nets would have hada chance to grab him. His former colleagues – D』Antoni, Budenholzer, Jeff VanGundy – had nothing but praise for him. The road in front of Brooklyn is hard,but the right man at the right time can make all the difference in the world.It took them a while, but the Nets have found that man – now all that remainsis a little patience so Atkinson can work his player development magic andsurprise everyone when the season starts.

按照現在的情況來看，肯尼.阿特金森、布魯克.洛佩斯和林書豪是網隊球迷目前還能保有樂觀心態的最新理由。對一個擁有如此熱衷於籃球的頭腦，又如此努力的教練來說，在網隊給他機會展示自己前阿特金森竟然還沒有過擔任球隊主教練的經歷，這著實令人驚訝！他以前的同事——德安東尼、布登霍爾澤、傑夫范甘迪都對他讚不絕口。毫無疑問，網隊前進的道路是艱險的，但這位在對的時間出現的對的人，一定會克服這個世界上所有的困難。網隊花了好一段時間去找那個對的人，他們最終找到了！現在我們所要做的事就是——多一點耐心！然後等到新賽季開始的時候，讓阿特金森教練做他最擅長的事——淋漓盡致的激發球員的潛能！並給所有人帶來驚喜！

In 2012,the Atlanta Hawks came calling, and it was time for another change of scenery.During the next four years, Atkinson continued to earn his stripes under MikeBudenholzer, one of the most respected head coaches in the league and a formerlongtime San Antonio Spurs assistant coach. The Hawks went on the make theplayoffs in each of Atkinson』s four seasons with the club. The 2014-15 seasonsaw the club register a franchise record-breaking 60 wins and clinch theirfirst division title in more than twenty years. Atkinson has been given a lotof credit for these fantastic results, and Jeff Teague, Al Horford, Kyle Korverand Kent Bazemore were especially enamored with his teaching ability.

2012年，阿特金森教練來到了亞特蘭大老鷹隊，這是他的另一次轉折。在接下來的四年時間裡，阿特金森在麥克布登霍爾茲這位長期擔任聖安東尼奧馬刺隊助理教練且在聯盟中備受尊重的教練身邊持續不斷的贏得功勳，阿特金森在老鷹期間球隊連續四年殺入季後賽。2014-15賽季他們創紀錄的在常規賽拿下60勝並20年來首次打入東決！阿特金森已經用他不可思議的業績在聯盟獲得了信賴和口碑，而那些老鷹那些核心球員，比如傑夫蒂格、艾爾霍福德、凱爾科沃爾和肯特貝茲莫爾都特別欣賞他的執教能力。

when you think about it ,itmade sense from the beginning;in addition to his other undeniable qualitiessuch as leadrship,communication skill and breadth of basketball knowledge,Atkinson is still mostly seen as an extrordinary development coach.
For a Nets team trying toturn a new leaf and go all-in on young talents,Atkinson is an ideal fit.And,ofcourse, New York is his city.He was born in nearby northport,a historicmaritime village located within the Town of Huntington on Long Island,New York.

當你靜下心來，其實一切似乎都順理成章，除了他那些不可否認的才能，比如領導力、溝通技巧和淵博的籃球知識，大多數人仍然把阿特金森視作一名非凡的發展教練。
網隊正在努力翻開球隊新的篇章，並把賭注壓在了年輕有天賦的球員身上。阿特金森教練完美契合球隊的建隊思路，紐約是他的家鄉，他出生在紐約諾斯波特附近，一個坐落在長島亨廷頓鎮歷史悠久的海邊村莊。

Following his first headcoaching gig with the Dominican Republic national team at the FIBA AmericaChampionship, it didn』t take long for Atkinson to get a similar opportunity inthe NBA.
When Tony Brown stepped downas the interim head coach of the Nets, the media expected at least a month ofrumors and leaks related to the identity of the new head coach.
That might have happenedwith the prior regime; however, Sean Marks decided to go the other way and woothe Nets』 top target on the hush-hush.

隨著阿特金森帶領多米尼克籃球隊在2015年美洲男籃錦標賽上演了他的主教練處子秀，沒有等很多時間，他就在NBA獲得了一個類似的機會。
當托尼布朗辭去網隊臨時主教練的職務，一時間謠言四起，媒體花了至少一個月時間來揣測網隊新教練的人選。
不管怎樣，前任留下的爛攤子已經擺在了那裡，網隊新任總經理肖恩馬克思決定另闢蹊徑，默默的引領著網隊朝最高目標進發！
