快船今年取得了56胜的历史最好成绩， 可是教练却被解雇。 最初报道说快船解雇了教练Del Negro是为了保留Chris Paul，因为Chris今年夏天是自由人了。 报道虽没有明示Chris要求俱乐部换教练，但明眼人都看出Chris是解雇Del的背后推手。

当时读了报道俺还有些悲哀： 没想到Chris也沦落到卡卖龙·安斯尼的地步 - 不能赢球怨教练。 把菲尔请来你就能拿冠军吗，拿不到冠军你不是自己打自己嘴巴吗？ 俺当时几乎完全相信了那篇报道的一面之词。

今天报道说Chris对于俱乐部把解雇教练的责任推到他身上很生气，而且报道了事情发展的来龙去脉。看过报道后，俺还是一头雾水，这种你说我说的情况，我们究竟相信谁？

事情的发展是这样的。

1. 快船在五月三日季后赛第一轮输给灰熊结束赛季。 五月二十一日Del Negro被解雇。

2. 快船队老板Donald Sterling 和洛杉矶时报的T.J. Simers谈这件事时这样说（应该是五月二十二日）：
     Donald说： 教练是极品男，事情发展到今天这样子我很难过啊。（"The coach is a wonderful man, and I'm sad about the whole thing," Sterling said.）

     Simers问: 你这是舍帅保车吗？ （"Was this done," I asked, "just to hang on to Chris Paul?"）

     Donald说： 我是个诚实的人，我不想说假话，所以我最好闭嘴。（ "I always want to be honest and not say anything that is not true," Sterling said. "So I'd rather not say anything.
）
     Donald接着说： 教练确实很出色，至少我这样认为。 我喜欢和他一起工作，可是七大姑八大姨不停地吵吵嚷嚷，好端端的生活被搞得乱七八糟，很复杂很纠结呀。 （ "But you know, the coach did a really good job. I think he did. And I liked working with him. There are just factors that make life very complicated and very challenging."）

     在Simers穷追猛打下，Donald最后叹曰： 世界是年轻人的，俱乐部是球员的。如果想赢球就得让球员高兴，光搓腿是不能让球员满意的。 （"This is a players' league, and, unfortunately, if you want to win, you have to make the players happy."）



3. 不知道解雇Del时俱乐部是否和他谈过话是否给了他一个理由。 但至少Del得到的信息和老板的说法相符，因为接下来Del在Dan Patrick Show上说，他（Chris）是自由人，俱乐部是被迫做的决定。 Chris有资格发表他的看法，云云， （"Well, Chris is a free agent," Del Negro said. "They were compelled to make a decision. He's entitled to his opinion. He's a free agent and he's going to have a lot of say on a lot of things as he did in the previous summer when we put the team together."）

至此可以确定，我看到的第一篇关于Chris是Del被解雇的推手报道不是空穴来风。

4. 今天铺天盖地的报道说小炮对俱乐部解雇教练和他有关的说法很生气，这可能导致他不和俱乐部续约。 报道说小炮事先就拒绝踏入教练去留的稀泥中。 （"Chris made it abundantly clear to the Clippers that he did not want to be involved in any decision about Vinny's future," the source said. "And Blake had nothing to do with it, either."）


5. 报道还透露解雇Del是front office的决定，因为他们对去年Del私下去勾引波士顿的Kevin Garnett很恼火而且一直耿耿于怀。  （according to a source. As the February trade deadline neared, the source said Del Negro discussed a potential deal with the Boston Celtics that would have sent DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe to Boston for Kevin Garnett. The rumor became major news around the league, even though the Clippers' front office was staunchly against the trade）。 Del是否这样做了？ 请假老道给个说法。

   消息还肯定解雇教练和队员没有关系。 （"The front office's feelings about getting rid of Vinny were strong enough that the players didn't need to get involved,"）

作为局外人，面对上述纷乱报道俺迷惑了。 这种事情只有你说我说了，究竟谁说的是事实？我们可能永远都不会知道，但有一个事实是肯定的： 历史上为快船取得最好成绩的教练丢了饭碗。
