節錄他談及湖人的部分
On May 27, 2022, the Lakers hired Ham for his first coaching job after the
firing of Frank Vogel. ESPN reported at that time that Lakers were sold by Ham
’s “stature and toughness, his history of coaching star players and
championship pedigree as an assistant and player.” The former NBA journeyman
forward spent nine seasons under Mike Budenholzer as an assistant coach with
the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee, including winning the 2021 NBA championship
with the Bucks.
在2022年5月27日，湖人在開除Frank Vogel之後雇用了Ham並給他第一份總教練工作。ESPN
報導湖人當時被Ham的個子與堅韌、執教明星球員的經歷以及作為助教與球員的總冠軍經驗
所吸引。這位前NBA浪人在Mike Budenholzer手下作為助理教練在亞特蘭大老鷹與密爾瓦基
公鹿度過了9個球季並贏下了2021NBA總冠軍。
The Lakers were Ham’s first NBA coaching job after being passed over in nine
interviews. Upon Ham’s hiring with Los Angeles, James tweeted: “”So damn
EXCITED!!!!!!!! Congrats and welcome Coach DHam!!”
湖人是Ham在面試9次失敗後的第一份NBA教練工作。在Ham被洛杉磯雇用之後，James發了推
文"太興奮啦!!!!!!Ham教練恭喜!!"
Ham coached James, forward Anthony Davis and the Lakers to a 43-39 record
during the 2022-23 season. The Lakers went from a play-in tournament team to
the 2023 Western Conference finals. The 2023 NBA champion Denver Nuggets
swept the Lakers in those conference finals, but making it there added
optimism for the future. Under Ham, the Lakers also won the first NBA Cup
championship.
他執教了James、前鋒Anthony Davis並讓湖人在22-23球季打出了43-39的戰績。湖人從附
加賽球隊一路殺到了2023西區決賽。2023年NBA總冠軍丹佛金塊在分區決賽橫掃了湖人，不
過這仍讓湖人的未來看起來更加樂觀。在Ham的執教下，湖人也贏下了第一次NBA盃冠軍。
The Lakers finished the 2023-24 regular season 47-35 and defeated the New
Orleans Pelicans in the play-in tournament to land the Western Conference’s
seventh spot. The Nuggets, however, foiled the Lakers again, defeating them
in the first round of the playoffs in five games.
湖人在23-24球季打出了47-35的戰績並在附加賽打敗了紐奧良鵜鶘並成為第7種子。然而，
金塊再次擊敗了湖人並在第一輪5場之後淘汰了他們。
On May 3, 2024, a stunned Ham was fired by the Lakers. Ham said he was “
disappointed” and that it was “crazy” that he didn’t get an opportunity
to grow in the seat.
“To do as well as I did, I swear to God, anywhere else I’m probably looking
at an extension with what I did,” Ham said. “I’m not talking about
feelings. I’m talking actual facts. They go from not making it to the
playoffs to the final four in the NBA, the conference finals. And then you
win the in-season tournament, navigate through all the injuries and win both
of your play-in games to get to the playoffs.
“People always talk about us losing to Denver, but they never talk about how
we got to Denver. We beat a kick-ass young squad in Memphis and we beat
Golden State.”
5/23震驚的Ham被湖人給開除。Ham說他當時感到"失望"且他覺得他沒有獲得機會在那個位
置繼續成長非常"瘋狂"。
"如果做得跟我一樣好，我對天發誓，我達到的成就在任何其他地方應該都在尋求續約。"
Ham表示
"我不是在談論感覺。我在談論事實。他們從打不進季後賽一路打到了NBA的四強，分區決
賽。然後我們贏下了季中錦標賽，經歷了各種傷病並贏下附加賽打進季後賽。
"大家只會說我們輸給了丹佛，但他們不討論我們如何抵達了丹佛。我們在曼菲斯打敗了年
輕有活力的球隊又打敗了金州。"
“I’m not going through the whole Lakers thing. I thought he got a tough
deal there,” Rivers said pregame.
Doc Rivers在賽前表示"我不會談論太多湖人的事情。我認為他在那邊的處境相當艱難。"
There were questions on social media and from NBA journalists about Ham’s X’
s and O’s, lineups and rotations. Davis questioned Ham’s coaching on both
ends during the Nuggets series. ESPN senior writer Ramona Shelburne also
previously reported that James lost faith in Ham over the course of last
season.
在社群媒體上以及NBA記者都對於Ham的戰術、陣容與輪替有相當多的質疑。Davis在兩次輸
給丹佛金塊後都質疑Ham的執教能力。ESPN資深寫手Ramona Shelburne也曾報導James在上
一季季末的各種事情之後對Ham喪失了信心。
“I’m not a mudslinger and I’m not going to wait until I’m 51 to become
one,” Ham said. “You feel like you did enough to sustain in one spot. I
felt like I did that. I get it. The franchise I’m working for, the
expectations can be unrealistic at certain points in time. To be 33-49 when I
was hired, with an unbalanced roster, turn that around, make it to the
Western Conference finals. The very next year we were a plus-10 in wins,
going from 33-49 to 43-39. And guys got paid on my watch. It went from a lot
of unknown scenarios to I think we have a little bit of a core. And then we
got hit with the injury bug like crazy last [season]. We might have been Top
5 in games lost to injury.
"我不是那種喜歡詆毀別人的人我也不會等到了51歲才變成這種人。"Ham表示。
"你感覺自己做得已經足夠，足以在一個位置上站穩腳跟。我覺得我做到了。我明白，為這
樣一支球隊工作，有時候外界的期待是不切實際的。當我被雇用的時後，我們的戰績是33
勝49負，陣容不平衡，但我扭轉了這個局勢，打進入了西區決賽。接下來的一年，我們的
勝場數多了10場，從33勝49負到43勝39負。而且在我執教期間，有些球員獲得了大合約。
我們從許多未知的情況中走出來，我認為我們形成了一些核心。然後我們上一季遭遇了嚴
重傷病潮，像瘋了一樣。上賽季我們的比賽缺席場次可能排聯盟前五。"
“It’s being reported like I’m just throwing some lineups up against the
wall to see what sticks. No man, we were really navigating a lot from guys
being hurt to having the oldest player in the league [James] to navigating
A.D.’s injury history. It was a lot.
"有些報導把事情說得像是我隨便把一些陣容丟上去看有什麼效果。不是那樣的，兄弟，我
們真的在處理很多問題，從球員受傷到隊中有聯盟最老的球員(James)，再到應對AD的傷病
史，這真的太多了。
“Some of the s— that was coming out? Wow, bro I don’t know X’s and O’s?
I was winging it. Dude, that was the most disappointing stuff, how mean and
so much stuff people are saying online. The best thing I could do was block
out the outside noise,” Ham said.
有些言論，哇，兄弟，他們說我不懂戰術?說我在混日子?這些話是最讓人失望的。網路
上的言論有多刻薄，真的令人難以置信。我能做的最好的事情就是屏蔽外界的噪音。"
Ham表示。
...
後面是他怎麼加入老河(原本想休息) 他為甚麼拒絕Bud 以及一些他家人的事情
...
Meanwhile, the Lakers are off to a 14-12 record under first-year coach J.J.
Redick. Ham said that while he has kept in touch with several of his former
players, he has not had a conversation of note with James and Davis since he
left.
與此同時，湖人現在正在經歷一個14-12敗的紀錄並由菜鳥總教練JJ Redick所帶領。Ham說
雖然他與一些過去執教過的球員維持聯繫，但他離開後還沒跟James或是Davis講過話。
Even so, Ham says he wishes the Lakers the best and has “no ill will.” The
Bucks host the Lakers on March 13, 2025, and visit Los Angeles on March 18,
2025.
即使如此，Ham仍說他祝福湖人一切順利且他對於前東家"沒有任何惡意"。公鹿將在2025年
3月13日在主場對陣湖人並在2025年3月18日作客湖人。
“I haven’t talked to anybody,” Ham said. “When we played them in the
preseason, I said hello to a couple of guys. Jaxson [Hayes], Cam [Reddish],
DLo [D’Angelo Russell], Gabe [Vincent]. But not really, man. LeBron ran past
the bench and we had a little bit of small talk.
"我還沒跟任何人說過話"Ham表示"我們在熱身賽與他們對陣時，我跟幾個人打了招呼。
Jaxon Hayes、DLo、Gabe Vincent。但真的不多，LeBron跑過替補席時，我們簡短聊了幾
句。"
“There is no ill will for me. Their situation is what it is.”
"我對他們沒有任何惡意。他們的情況既然已經發生了就是發生了。"
心得
It is what it is
