Joel Embiid does not want 76ers to end up like the Thunder
铅笔不希望76人步雷霆后尘

After years of struggling at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the
Philadelphia 76ers are now one of the most promising, young teams in the NBA.
Led by their budding superstar duo of center Joel Embiid and point guard Ben
Simmons, the 76ers have quickly become a force to be reckoned with.
在东区坦了多年后，76人现在是最有希望的年轻球队之一了。由新生代巨星中锋铅笔和控
卫西门领军的76人被看好很快就可以成为一股新势力。
Furthermore, Philadelphia has surrounded their dynamic one-two punch with a
solid supporting cast as well in forwards Robert Covington and rookie guard
Markelle Fultz. Although it is encouraging to see them finally starting to
improve, there is some growing concern with having such an array talent this
early on.
除此之外，阵中还有其他充满活力的强力球员如Convington和Fultz，虽然看到他们日渐成
长颇另人感到振奋，但对于拥有这样满满天赋的年轻球队来说，还是有点隐忧。
According to Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Embiid does not want
the 76ers trio of himself, Simmons, and Fultz to become like the Oklahoma
City Thunder from several years back:
据媒体报导，铅笔不希望自己和西门、Fultz组成的三重奏会变得像几年前的雷霆队一样
“I think with everything, the main thing we have to do is just stay together
because I feel like there’s going to be some type of situation where people
say who is better between us three. And that’s how it splits.”
“我想过很多，但最重要的是我们能团结在一起。因为，日后一定有耳语会说我们三个之
中谁谁谁才是最好的，嫌隙就是从这里开始产生的。”
The trio Embiid is referring to was the Thunder’s star-studded team that
included Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and James Harden. After falling
short in the NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City’s core began to dissolve before
Westbrook was the only one left.
铅笔指的应该就是拥有西河、雷帝、和哈登的雷霆。自从争夺总冠失利后，奥克拉荷马早
就在只剩西河独留的情况前，就分崩离析了。
That said, it seems Embiid holds his teammates in high regard. As the current
face of the franchise, it will likely fall on him to make sure no one player
becomes bigger than the team’s ultimate goal.
可见铅笔很重视他的队友，在当下的局势，看来确保全队一心向着球队同一目标的重责大
任，要由他来承担了。
