Luke Walton, Tom Thibodeau Top Betting Odds for 1st NBA Coach to Be Fired
誰會是今年第一個被開除的教練? 賭盤開出 Walton跟Thibodeau分列一二名

The 2018-19 NBA regular season is a week old, and the oddsmakers are already
handicapping the field for one of the most intriguing storylines of every
season.

哪個教練會率先領繩?

According to OddsShark, the Los Angeles Lakers' Luke Walton (+175, bet $100
to win $175) and the Minnesota Timberwolves' Tom Thibodeau (+200) are the
leading candidates this campaign:
根據OddsShark，目前是湖人教練Luke Walton跟灰狼教練Tom Thibodeau暫居前兩名。

以下是名單：
1. Luke Walton      +175
2. Tom Thibodeau    +200
3. Fred Hoiberg     +500
4. Billy Donovan    +750
5. Scott Brooks     +1000
6. Dave Joerger     +1200
7. Terry Stotts     +1200


Walton led the Golden State Warriors to a 39-4 start in 2015-16 as interim
head coach in place of Steve Kerr. The following season, he took over a
17-win Lakers squad that was looking to acquire and develop young talent.
Walton在2015-16曾經替Steve Kerr暫代勇士總教練，勇士開季戰績是39-4。隔年他去帶領
僅17勝的湖人，找尋可以培養的年輕潛力球員。

Los Angeles has improved under Walton with each passing campaign with the
additions of Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart, among
others. The Lakers won 26 games in Walton's first season and made the jump to
35 in 2017-18. But expectations skyrocketed the moment four-time NBA MVP
LeBron James signed with the Purple and Gold this summer.
湖人在Walton帶領下每年都有進步，添加了一些新秀像是Brandon Ingram，Lonzo Ball，
Kyle Kuzma，Josh Hart以及其他一些球員。Walton第一年戰績是26勝，隔年2017-18是35
勝。今年在4屆MVP得主LBJ與紫金軍團簽下合約後，成績被認為應該會一飛衝天。

Los Angeles has gotten off to a 0-3 start while dropping close games to the
Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs. As a result,
the 38-year-old coach is facing increased pressure to get his team to play
winning basketball.
但是湖人開季0-3，都以些微比數分別輸給了阿拓，火箭跟馬刺。也因此，38歲的Walton面

Meanwhile, Thibodeau's Timberwolves have started the season 2-2—but they
have no shortage of turmoil within the organization. Jimmy Butler had a trade
request go public a week before training camp, and then a heated practice
made headlines. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the four-time All-Star
told general manager Scott Layden: "You f--king need me, Scott. You can't win
without me."
在此同時，Thibodeau的灰狼則是以2-2開季，但是球團內還是少不了混亂局面。Jimmy
Butler在開訓前公開喊吹密，然後熱血的練習事件上了頭條。ESPN的沃神報導這4屆全明星
告訴灰狼總管Scott Layden：「你他XX的需要我，沒我你們贏不了比賽。」

Minnesota has yet to trade Butler, which, according to Wojnarowski, could be
in part because Thibodeau has no shown no interest in dealing the shooting
guard, whom he drafted and coached while with the Chicago Bulls.
灰狼到現在還沒交易走Butler，而且根據沃神，沒交易走的一部分原因是因為Thibodeau根
本沒表現出想要交易掉這位他在公牛選秀並教導的得分後衛的一絲絲興趣。

Just last year, Thibodeau helped the Timberwolves snap a 13-season playoff
drought.
也就在去年，Thibodeau幫助灰狼終結了連續13年未進季後賽的狀況。

An interesting name on the list is Tyronn Lue (+1200). This marks the first
time in his three-plus years as the Cleveland Cavaliers' head coach that he
does not have James on the roster and, with it, championship-or-bust
expectations.
另外有個有趣的名字出現在這名單裡是Tyronn Lue。這是他在他3+年的教練約的時間裡第
一次出現在這裡，今年的騎士沒有LBJ，所以沒有那種沒拿冠軍就是失敗的期待。

Winning cures most things in sports, but as ex-Cavs coach David Blatt found
out a few years ago, not even that can save some coaches.
贏球在運動界裡就是萬靈丹，但是前騎士總教練David Blatt幾年前學到一件事，有時贏球
