皇帝的老师不好当

It must be nice for a young NBA coach to begin his career coaching one of the best players of his generation.

对于一个年轻的NBA主帅来说，要是刚刚开始教练生涯就能执教他这个时代最出色的球员之一，那一定是件很不错的事。

It must also be a challenge for a young NBA coach when that player is 22, worth millions, known by his first name - LeBron - in households around the world and already feels like he's got the power, too.

对于一个年轻的NBA主帅来说，要是这名球员年仅22岁，却身价亿万，他的名字——勒布朗——在全世界家喻户晓，而且他感觉自己已经大权在握，这无疑又是一种挑战。

Mike Brown, who is in his second season as Cleveland's coach, led the Cavaliers to their first playoff appearance in 18 years last season.

这是麦克·布朗担任克里夫兰骑士主教练的第二个赛季，却在上赛季带领骑士18年来首次打进季后赛。

LeBron James was Brown's pilot then and has Cleveland flying in 1) first class again en route to another playoff appearance, as well as the first appearance in Eastern Conference Finals in 15 years.

那时候，勒布朗·詹姆斯是布朗的领航员，现在又让骑士坐着“头等舱”再度出现在季后赛中，而且还15年来首次打进了东部决赛。

But along the way, not surprisingly, there have been differences of opinion between coach and superstar, from personnel to strategy and even substitution patterns.

但是一路上，教练和超级巨星之间一直存在着矛盾，从排兵布阵到战术安排，甚至换人决定都是如此，不过这一点也不奇怪。

It's not the first time that has happened between a coach and player, and it won't be the last. But let's hope it stays at a minimum between these two because these days the NBA is marketing "King James" with unprecedented efforts.

在教练和球员中出现这样的不和，已经不是第一次了，而且这也不会是最后一次。但是让我们希望这样的矛盾在这两人中间仅仅停留在最小的范围，因为现在的NBA正在以前所未有的力度推销“小皇帝詹姆斯”。

That said, it's interesting to hear Brown's philosophy on how he handles a young superstar with the world at his fingertips.

既然如此，倾听布朗对一位已将世界握在手心的年轻巨星的指挥艺术，一定非常有趣。

First, Brown, 37, said before a 76-79 loss to the Pistons in the second Eastern Conference Finals game, there is great respect between coach and player, but just as important is that "he allows me to coach him."

37岁的布朗，在骑士以76比79输掉对阵活塞的第二场东部决赛之前说，首先，教练与球员之间要互相尊重，但是同样重要的是“他接受我指导他”。

"There's no coach in this business that has a superstar like that, that will have any type of success if the superstar doesn't allow him to coach him," Brown said.

布朗说：“在这个圈子里，没有哪位教练能拥有像他这样的超级巨星，也没有哪位教练能在这位超级巨星不接受自己指导的情况下共同取得任何成功。”
