旧金山——十年前，马刺队助理教练科利斯·威廉姆森 (Corliss Williamson) 遗憾地错失了在奥兰多执教哈里斯的机会。
如今，威廉姆森非常期待能在圣安东尼奥获得执教哈里斯的机会。
周一，这位老将前锋与马刺队签下了一份为期两年、价值3100万美元的自由球员合同。周一也是球队和球员被允许正式签约的第一天。
“看着他从刚进联盟时一路成长，直到现在成为一名经验丰富的沙场老将，”威廉姆森说道，“这真是一件令人愉悦的事情。”
哈里斯最初在2011年NBA选秀中以第19顺位被夏洛特选中，随后根据预先达成的协议被交易至密尔沃基。
2013年2月，雄鹿队将哈里斯交易至奥兰多。他在魔术队效力了三年，随后在2016年NBA交易截止日前被交易至底特律。
几个月后，威廉姆森来到奥兰多，加入了弗兰克·沃格尔 (Frank Vogel) 的教练组担任助理教练。
正在旧金山和拉斯维加斯执教马刺队夏联阵容的威廉姆森表示，他长期以来一直非常欣赏哈里斯的技术特点，并期待他能为圣安东尼奥带来帮助。
“他在攻防两端的全能性绝对能给我们带来帮助，”威廉姆森说道，“他作为老将的经验，以及他的季后赛经验，绝对能派上用场，帮助我们的年轻球员继续成长。”
马刺队寄望于身高6英尺8英寸（2米03）、体重230磅（104公斤）的哈里斯能够在大前锋位置上提供阵容深度和投射能力。
“他能快下奔跑，能投篮，能突破，偶尔还能在低位单打，”威廉姆森说道，“我们非常兴奋能拥有他。”
据报道，哈里斯还吸引了西部其他几支球队的兴趣，包括洛杉矶湖人队和洛杉矶快船队。
而马刺队之所以能在哈里斯的争夺战中胜出，归功于一个决定性的因素。
“夺冠的紧迫感，”哈里斯上周在被 HoopsHype 问及为何选择与这支卫冕西部冠军签约时说道，“感觉我们双方的目标是一致的。”
在哈里斯15个赛季的NBA生涯中，他辗转多地，曾效力过五支不同的球队。
这位即将年满34岁的老将在过去两个赛季效力于底特律，这也是他职业生涯第二次驻足这座“汽车城”。上赛季，哈里斯为活塞队首发出战63场，场均贡献13.3分、5.1个篮板和2.5次助攻，帮助球队打入东部半决赛，最终在抢七大战中憾负克利夫兰。
他是仅有的六位达成“出战1000+场比赛、16000+得分、6000+篮板和500+盖帽”里程碑的现役NBA球员之一。另外五人分别是勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James)、凯文·杜兰特 (Kevin Durant)、詹姆斯·哈登 (James Harden)、布鲁克·洛佩斯 (Brook Lopez) 和尼古拉·武切维奇 (Nikola Vucevic)。
哈里斯职业生涯的巅峰赛季是2018-19赛季效力于洛杉矶快船队期间，当时他场均可以砍下20.9分和近8个篮板。
威廉姆森表示，在圣安东尼奥，哈里斯可以充分利用他丰富的职业生涯经验。
“我们仍然是一支年轻的队伍，”威廉姆森说道，“我们的体系中拥有越多的老将来帮助这些年轻球员摸索前进，对他们的成长就越有利。”
夏季联赛罚球新规尝试反响平平
NBA正在夏季联赛中试验一项新的罚球规则，旨在加快比赛节奏。
这项顾名思义的“一罚制”规则规定，对于在正常NBA规则下通常会获得一次、两次或三次罚球的任何犯规，球员都只进行一次罚球尝试。而这一次罚球的分值，等同于它所替代的多次罚球的总分值。
在第四节最后两分钟以及整个加时赛期间，仍将采用标准的NBA罚球规则。
这一改变在夏季联赛中反响平平。
“还行吧，”威廉姆森说道，“有时候你会希望有第二罚或第三罚的机会，尤其是当你罚丢了第一球的时候。但规则就是这样，我们必须去适应它。”
自2019年以来，“一罚制”规则已在发展联盟（G League）中实行。
威廉姆森表示，他很难想象这项规则会被全面引入NBA。
“我理解在夏季联赛中采用它，”威廉姆森说道，“你想尝试加快比赛节奏，这我可以理解。但如果你想把它带到NBA，我认为会遇到很大的阻力。这会非常困难。”
昆坦斯充分利用夏季联赛时光
马刺队首轮秀杰登·昆坦斯 (Jayden Quaintance) 目前正处于膝伤恢复期，因此未能代表夏联阵容出战。
但这并不意味着这位在上个月选秀中以第20顺位被选中的新秀虚度了这段时光。
到目前为止，这位来自肯塔基大学的18岁大个子旁听了每一次训练、战术演练和暂停。
“他现在正在场边吸收着一切，”威廉姆森说道，“他一直非常投入。”
威廉姆森表示，尽管昆坦斯尚未获得上场许可，但球队对他展现出的求知欲留下了深刻的印象。
“他就在那里，不断地提出问题，”威廉姆森说道，“他很专注，并且渴望继续学习。”

SAN FRANCISCO — A decade ago, Spurs assistant Corliss Williamson narrowly missed a chance to coach Tobias Harris in Orlando.
Williamson is looking forward to his chance to coach Harris in San Antonio.
The veteran forward signed a two-year, $31-million free agent deal with the Spurs on Monday, the first day teams and players were allowed to finalize new contracts.
“Just to watch him mature from the time he first came into the league until now, where he’s a savvy vet,” Williamson said. “It’s been a joy to watch.”
Harris was initially the 19th pick in the 2011 NBA draft, selected by Charlotte as part of a prearranged deal to send him to Milwaukee.
The Bucks traded Harris to Orlando in February 2013. He spent three years with the Magic before being traded to Detroit ahead of the 2016 NBA trade deadline.
A few months later, Williamson arrived in Orlando to join Frank Vogel’s staff as an assistant.
Williamson, who is coaching the Spurs’ Summer League squad in San Francisco and Las Vegas, said he has long admired Harris’ skillset and is looking forward to what he might bring to San Antonio.
“His versatility on both ends of the floor, offensively and defensively, is something that can definitely help us,” Williamson said. “The experience he’s had as a vet, the experience he’s had in the playoffs, that’s definitely something he can bring to the table to help our young guys continue to mature.”
The Spurs are counting on the 6-foot-8, 230-pound Harris to provide depth and shooting from the power forward spot.
“He can run the floor, he can shoot, drive, post up every now and then,” Williamson said. “We’re excited to have him.”
Harris reportedly also received interest from several other teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers and the L.A. Clippers in the Western Conference.
The Spurs won the bid for Harris’ services due to one overriding factor.
“The urgency to win a championship,” Harris told HoopsHype last week when asked why he chose to sign with the defending Western Conference champions. “It felt like both our goals aligned.”
Harris has been well-traveled throughout his 15-season NBA career, spending time with five clubs.
The soon-to-be 34-year-old played the past two seasons in Detroit, his second career stop in the Motor City. Harris averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season while starting 63 games for the Pistons, helping the team reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they lost in seven games to Cleveland.
He is one of six active NBA players with 1,000-plus games, 16,000-plus points, 6,000-plus rebounds and 500-plus blocks. The others are LeBron James, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Brook Lopez and Nikola Vucevic.
Harris’ best season came in 2018-19 with the Los Angeles Clippers, when he averaged 20.9 points and nearly eight rebounds per contest.
In San Antonio, Harris can put his vast pro experience to good use, Williamson said.
“We are still a young team,” Williamson said. “The more times we have veteran guys in our program to help these guys figure it out is going to be beneficial for them.”
Lukewarm reviews for summer free-throw rule tweak
The NBA is experimenting with a new free-throw rules at Summer League designed to speed up game flow.
The aptly named “one free-throw rule” awards a single attempt for any foul that would typically result in one, two or three free throws under normal NBA rules. That free throw is worth the same total number of points as the free throws it replaces.
Standard NBA free-throw rules apply in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter and throughout overtime.
The change has been met with lukewarm reviews at Summer League.
“It’s OK,” Williamson said. “Sometimes you wish you had that second or third free throw, especially if you miss one. But the rule is what it is. We have to adjust to it.”
The one free throw rule has been in effect in the G League since 2019.
Williamson said he has trouble envisioning it coming to the NBA on a full-time basis.
“I get it for Summer League,” Williamson said. “You want to try to speed up the game. I understand that. I think there would be a lot of pushback if you wanted to bring that to the NBA. It would be really hard.”
Quaintance makes most of Summer League time
Spurs first-round pick Jayden Quaintance is not playing for the Summer League squad while working his way back from a knee injury.
That does not mean the experience has been wasted for the 20th overall pick in last month’s draft.
The 18-year-old big man from Kentucky has been a spectator at every practice, walk through and timeout so far.
“He’s taking everything in from the sidelines right now,” Williamson said. “He’s been engaged.”
Williamson said the team has been impressed so far by Quaintance’s willingness to learn, even though he has not been cleared to step on the floor.
“He’s there and asking questions,” Williamson said. “He’s engaged and wants to continue to learn.”
