http://greenstreet.weei.com/sports/boston/basketball/celtics/2010/07/06/doc-bigger-deal-made-about-coaching-decision/For weeks, the uncertainty of Doc Rivers’ coaching career with the Celtics was unavoidable. It was discussed during the playoffs, immediately after Game 7 of the NBA finals, and on Draft Night. The media outlined the pros and cons of both options while fans weighed on what would be the best move for Rivers.
从前些日子起,关于里弗斯下赛季的去留讨论就甚嚣尘上,从季后赛、到总决赛第七场结束、再到选秀夜,人们一直在热议这个话题,粉丝们反复权衡哪种决定对他最有利,媒体甚至给出了球迷赞成和反对大河留任的投票对比。
Forget about where LeBron James was going to sign. In Boston, the biggest question was who would be on the sidelines next season.
在波士顿,人们忘掉了LBJ将签新合约,所有的关注焦点,都集中在一个问题上:下赛季哪一位将不会出现在凯队阵容中?
In the end, Rivers stayed with the Celtics. After all the hype leading up to his decision, he told AOL FanHouse the speculation of leaving the Cs “was blown out of proportion.” Even though he did consider stepping down to spend more time with his family, Rivers called the attention his decision received “embarrassing”:
最后,里弗斯留下了。在所有关于他的议论尘埃落定之后,他说,“离开凯尔特人,是非常痛苦、难以让内心平复的决定”。尽管他很想退休,去花更多的时间陪伴家人,他承认做出这个决定是极其困难的。
“It was really no different than any other year,” Rivers said in an interview with FanHouse at the Air Tran Orlando Pro Summer League. “It was a much bigger deal made about it than it was. It’s what we do every year. We (his family) go home and relax and we sit around.”
“(做决定的)过程与往年没什么不同,”里弗斯在采访中说,“只是今年更郑重了,我回到家里和我的家人坐在一起,讨论该么办。”
Share Rivers has one year left on his contract. However, he was considering stepping away from coaching for a year to watch his children, including star-studded, high school rising senior Austin Rivers, play.
里弗斯的合同还剩一年,他曾考虑退隐,把这一年的时间花在照顾孩子上,他的好几个孩子正面临人生中的关键时期,即将升入高级中学,或即将大学毕业,等等。
Rivers admits there were “times” he came close to stepping away. Still, he didn’t think his decision process deserved as much focus as it got.
里弗斯说,曾有那么几个瞬间,他几乎就下定决心要走了。不过,他认为人们其实不必对他的去留那么在意,那么关注。
“Because it got out that’s what we do, I thought it was embarrassing to me because it was just so much attention about it,” Rivers said of what he called an annual evaluation. “Once you made (the decision), it was great. The family was good and everybody was happy. And now you just worry about your team and you got to get everybody back, and you got to add a couple of guys.”
“因为那超出了我的本分,我不应该成为舆论的中心,那很尴尬”,里弗斯说,“做决定的过程是困难的,可一旦确定了,一切就很好办了。我的家人都很高兴。现在,你最担心的应该是球队,你必须把每个人都召回来,并增添几个家伙。”
Rivers is currently in Orlando with the Celtics Summer League team. Austin Ainge is coaching the squad.
里弗斯正在奥兰多,和凯队一起征战夏季联赛。目前担任凯队夏季联赛主帅的人,正是安吉的儿子,小奥斯丁安吉。
