Gerald Green經理人認為教練Jeff Hornacek的批評荒謬

在美國時間星期三，太陽在比賽中輸給小牛，正式無緣進入季後賽。但對於搖擺人Gerald Green來說，這幾天或許並不好受。
在日前，太陽主教練Jeff Hornacek接受訪問時表示，當Gerald Green找不到手感，不能得分而且不能集中防守的時候，很難會把Green留在場上。

引用"(Green) never really seemed to get it going and then it comes to the point where, if you’re not scoring and if your defense isn’t picking up, it’s hard to stay in the game."

可是Green的經理人Kevin Bradbury作出了回應，認為對方的批評荒謬。Bradbury表示，這樣的說法對Green不公平，因為Green是一個為了贏得比賽而付出任何代價的球員，而且數據也說明了Green不是一個糟糕的防守球員。Bradbury也表示，去年Green在太陽打得很好的時候，沒人會抱怨他的防守，現在卻聽到教練說他太差而不能上場。Bradbury認為這很荒謬。

引用“It's completely unfair to misrepresent Gerald and his game like this. You’re talking about a player that wants to win at any cost and is a tremendous locker guy and teammate. I don't see the benefit for the coach to go about things this way.”

“The numbers show pretty clearly that Gerald is not the terrible defensive player he is being made out to be. The Suns played him a lot last year, they liked what he brought, when he was rolling, the team was rolling, and no one was out there complaining about his defense.”

Gerald Green將在季尾成為一位自由球員，早前他曾表示希望跟太陽續約。今季他場均上陣19.5分鐘，取得11.8分，而命中率為41.3%。
