卢卡·唐契奇是一位轰动一时的人物。进入他的第四个NBA赛季，22岁的斯洛文尼亚人有着很高的期望。他不仅仅想赢得他的第一个季后赛系列赛，他还把目光放在了更大的事情上：他想赢得NBA总冠军。
在他和拉里·奥布莱恩之间还有29支球队，82场常规赛，16场季后赛胜利。虽然他看起来像每晚在场上最好的球员，但唐契奇不能独自完成这一切。他必须依靠队友，并向教练组寻求指导。
达拉斯小牛队主教练杰森·基德说：“我的工作、我的教练和他的队友都是帮助他实现他的目标，不仅仅是个人目标，而是作为一个团队。”。“我们知道我们会倒退。一切都是从金杯、冠军开始的，然后所有个人的东西都会随之而来。”
Doncic已经获得了很多个人荣誉。他是2019年度新秀，入选2019年全新秀一线队，两次入选全明星，两次入选NBA一线队。这是一份比大多数NBA职业生涯更好的三年简历。
即使他已经完成了所有的事情，仍然有很多他学不到的东西。这就是基德和他的新教练组的用武之地。基德在选择助手时是慎重的，他引进了经验丰富的教练，甚至还有一位曾在唐契奇效力过的教练。
伊戈尔·科科斯科夫（Igor Kokoskov）在2017年为斯洛文尼亚国家队效力时曾执教过顿契奇。该队接着赢得了欧洲篮筐锦标赛。在小牛队中，科科斯科夫是进攻型球员，而他过去的关系正在得到回报。
“他很棒，”唐契克谈到科科斯科夫时说。“他是NBA的一名教练。他知道这笔交易。他是一个了不起的人，他帮助了我们很多，不仅仅是我，还有整个球队。”
不仅仅是科科斯科夫给教练组带来了胜利的文化。基德作为小牛队的球员和洛杉矶湖人队的助理教练赢得了戒指。格雷格·圣让和贾里德·达德利也分别以助理和球员的身份赢得了湖人队的总冠军。还有克里斯蒂·托利弗，两届WNBA冠军。
“她带来了冠军的心态，”Doncic说。“我认为她对我们很好。她对所有的球员都很有帮助，与他们交谈，到目前为止她表现得很好。”
建立冠军文化的要素已经到位。基德确保了这一点。尽管如此，Doncic仍肩负着比十年前更大的使命，要将特许经营权推向更高的水平。但是在小牛队在六月份开香槟之前，基德必须把他所知道的告诉一个即将成为NBA面孔的球员。
基德说：“对我来说，这只是交流我所看到的和听到的。”。“要分享这些信息，我只需要收集尽可能多的信息交给他。他能很好地分解这些信息并成功地利用这些信息。这就是你所做的，并在过程中享受乐趣。”

The new coaching staff should help Luka Doncic and the entire team grow
原文：
Luka Doncic is a sensation. Entering his fourth NBA season, the 22-year-old Slovenian has lofty expectations. He doesn’t just want to win his first playoff series, he has his sights set on something bigger: he wants to win an NBA championship.
Between him and the Larry O’Brien Trophy are 29 other teams, 82 regular season games, and 16 playoff wins. Although he looks like the best player on the floor nightly, Doncic can’t do it all by himself. He must rely on his teammates and look to the coaching staff for guidance.
“My job—and my coaches and his teammates—is to help him achieve his goals, not just individually, but as a team,” Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd says. “We understand we’ll work backwards. It all starts with that gold trophy, the championship, and then all the individual stuff will come with that.”
Doncic has already amassed plenty of individual accolades. He was the 2019 Rookie of the Year, named to the 2019 All-Rookie First Team, a two-time All-Star, and is a two-time All-NBA First Team selection. That’s a better three-year resume than most NBA careers.
Even with everything he’s already accomplished, there’s still more than he can learn. That’s where Kidd and his newly installed coaching staff come in. Kidd was deliberate when choosing his assistants, bringing in experienced coaches and even one who has a history with Doncic.
Igor Kokoskov coached Doncic when he played for the Slovenian national team in 2017. That team went on to win the EuroBasket championship. With the Mavericks, Kokoskov is calling the offensive plays, and his past relationship is paying dividends.
“He’s great,” Doncic says of Kokoskov. “He’s been a coach in the NBA. He knows the deal. He’s an amazing person and he helps us a lot—not just me, the whole team.”
It isn’t just Kokoskov who brings a winning culture to the coaching staff. Kidd won rings as a player with the Mavericks and as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers. Greg St. Jean and Jared Dudley also won a championship with the Lakers as an assistant and player, respectively. Then there’s Kristi Toliver, a two-time WNBA champion.
“She brings that championship mentality,” Doncic says. “I think she’s been great for us. She helps a lot with all the players, talking to them and so far she’s been great.”
The pieces to build a championship culture are in place. Kidd made sure of that. Still, so much is riding on Doncic to carry the franchise further than it’s been in a decade. But before the Mavericks can pop champagne in June, Kidd must impart what he knows to a player that’s emerging as a face of the NBA.
“For me, it’s just about communicating what I see and what I hear,” Kidd says. “To share that information—it’s just about gathering as much information as I can to hand off to him. He does a great job of being able to break down that information and be successful with it. That’s what you do and have fun along the way.”
