Gregg Popovich became head coach of the Spurs all the way back in 1996. He went 17-47 in his first season as coach. Since then, the Spurs have never had a record below .500. It just speaks to how astonishing of a leader Popovich is.
追溯到1996年，格雷格·波波维奇便一直担任马刺队主教练一职。在以教练身份开始的第一个赛季里（此前是马刺队总经理），球队只打出了17胜47负的战绩。但从那以后马刺的赛季胜率都没有低于50%。亮眼的数据也佐证了波波维奇是一位有才华的教练。
Popovich has won five NBA championships with San Antonio. He's been named Coach of the Year three times and is widely regarded as the best NBA coach of the last decade or so. The Spurs have never won back-to-back championships, but people still consider them a dynasty for their sustainable success, and it's all because of Popovich and his ability to plug in players into his system and flourish with them.
波波维奇带领圣安东尼奥马刺队五度夺得NBA总冠军，三获得NBA年度最佳教练奖，被广泛誉为近十年来NBA最佳教练。马刺队从未连续获得背靠背的总冠军，但球迷始终相信马刺王朝将再创佳绩。球迷的信心来源于波波维奇，他也有能力将球员的天赋融入他的篮球体系，并且加以挖掘培养。

This season is the first year in a very long time that Gregg Popovich doesn't have Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, or Manu Ginobili on the roster. Duncan and Ginobili are both retired, while Parker signed a free agent deal with the Charlotte Hornets in July. The Spurs are 14-14 on the season.
本赛季，球队名单里没有蒂姆·邓肯，托尼·帕克，马努·吉诺比利，这也是波波维奇的“第一次”。邓肯和吉诺比利双双退休，另一方帕克在七月份以自由人的身份与夏洛特黄蜂队签订了合同。目前本赛季马刺队赛绩为14胜14负。
When it's all said and done, Gregg Popovich will go down as a top-five coach of all-time. The way he's been able to connect with a variety of players and win games at the highest level is truly special.
一切尘埃落定，格雷格·波波维奇将被评为历史上位列前五的教练。他能够与不同球员打交道以及在最高水平赛事上取得胜利的方式真的很特别。
