Curry首次談及更換教練，不捨Jackson但期待Kerr帶領

自上任教練Mark Jackson離隊，勇士主將Stephen Curry一直沒有作出任何回應。但近日他接受訪問時，終於談及有關教練轉換的看法。


去季7場系列賽敗給快艇後，Curry和隊友馬上要求球隊留住Jackson。可是一切並非如他所願。三天之後，勇士把Jackson 裁掉。Curry表示十分失望，因為過去幾年間，Jackson 一直教曉他很多東西，伴著他一起成長。而且他們一起帶領勇士，由一支樂透球會，一起贏得超過50場比賽，帶領勇士打入季後賽。不過，Curry也明白，作為球員，他們無法控制太多事情。


"He (Jackson) did a lot for me as a player. Instilled a lot of confidence. A lot of growth, on and off the court. For me, he embodied success with the Warriors organization. We changed the culture from a being a lottery team to winning 50 games, consecutive playoff appearances ... when you have a relationship with a coach on and off the court, it's tough to see that end, especially coming off the season that we had.
"It was just tough ... Me personally, I didn't think it would go down like that. But as players, it's not in our control. Obviously, I had a reaction to it but as players you got to move on."

不過，勇士在新任教練Steve Kerr帶領下，取得了球會開季史上最佳成績，而且Curry也成為明星賽的票王。

對此，Curry表示雖然他和Jackson 關係良好，但不得不承認Kerr 教練把勇士帶進一個新方向。而他也表示，Kerr 帶來了少改變，帶領球隊取得進步。而Curry也表示，他很樂意聽從Kerr的說話。

至於Kerr，他也明白Curry是多麼喜樂Jackson，Kerr亦十分尊重Jackson，並沒有要求大家改變什麼。

或許Jackson種樹，Kerr乘涼，但Kerr 和Curry等球隊上下，明白互相尊重和信任之道，或許是勇士取得成功的原因。
