關鍵時刻冰球星坐板凳？公牛總教練與LaVine各自表達想法與立場

芝加哥公牛總教練Billy Donovan在昨天以107-108輸給奧蘭多魔術的比賽中做出大膽調度，剩下最後3分多鐘時決定將陣中球星Zach LaVine放在板凳上，這讓很少遇到這種狀況的LaVine顯然不是很習慣。
LaVine在整場比賽的投籃都非常掙扎，全場14投僅1中包含三分球5投0中，但這位兩屆全明星覺得自己在關鍵時刻應該留在場上。

引用LaVine：“我必須在比賽開始時做得更好才能投籃，這就是我所做的。我喜歡這個決定嗎？不。我必須忍受它嗎？是的。準備好穿上我的鞋子並參加下一場比賽。”

半場結束時落後14分的公牛恰好在LaVine不在場的第三節大放異彩，總教練Donovan當下認為另一套陣容更可能贏得比賽，而要球星不上場從來不是個容易的決策。

引用Donovan：“我的工作與責任是在那些時刻為球隊做出最好的決定，而且我認為那是當時最好的決定。我知道他想在那裡，在他的職業生涯中沒有上場的比賽可能不多，但那支球隊打得很好，這給了我們機會。”

LaVine的4分是本賽季迄今的單場最低得分，他在正常狀態時是NBA 最具殺傷力的得分手之一，但昨晚的情況並非如此。

引用LaVine：“只要問問他(教練)的決定是什麼，是什麼讓他這麼想。很明顯，他想讓其他人上場。我錯過了很多投籃，但我有過很多比賽打得很糟糕，卻在4、5分鐘內得到15、16 分。”

更重要的是，公牛吞下4連敗後讓戰績下滑到6勝10負。接下來還要面對波士頓塞爾提克和密爾瓦基公鹿兩大強權，事情並不會變得更容易，LaVine需要趕緊找回自己的投籃準星。

引用"I feel like my job, my responsibility in those moments is to try to make the best decisions for the team," Donovan said. "And I thought that was the best decision at the time. To me. I know he wanted to be out there. There's probably not very many games in his career where [LaVine] hasn't been out there in those moments, but that group was playing well and it gave us a chance."

引用"Just ask him what his decision was, what made him think that way," LaVine said when asked if he would discuss the situation with Donovan. "Obviously, he wanted to go with some other guys out there."

He added: "I've missed a lot of shots, but I've had a lot of games where I've played terribly and in four, five minutes put up 15, 16 points."
