NBA Rumors: Billy Donovan's Contract Option Picked Up by Thunder
乳摸: 雷霆执行选择权 与Donovan续约
The Oklahoma City Thunder have picked up the fifth-year option for head coach
Billy Donovan to keep him on the sidelines through the 2019-20 season,
according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
根据沃神报导，雷霆执行教练Donovan第五年的选择权，将会在2019-20球季继续执教雷
霆。
Donovan is currently in his fourth year with the team, recording a 168-106
record in that span, including an 18-10 mark so far this season. Per
Wojnarowski, he is the fourth-winningest coach in the NBA during his time in
the league behind only Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, San Antonio
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens.
今年是Donovan第四年与雷霆的教练约，总计168-106，本季战绩目前是18-10。根据沃神报
导，Donovan是目前联盟最会赢球教练排名第四位，前面三位分别是勇士教练Steve Kerr，
马刺教练Gregg Popovich，以及青赛教练Brad Stevens。
The Thunder reached the Western Conference Finals in Donovan's first year at
the helm, taking a 3-1 lead on the Golden State Warriors before eventually
losing in seven games.
雷霆在Donovan担任教练第一年杀入西决，原本以3-1领先勇士，但是最后七战结束后败
北。
Unfortunately, things haven't gone quite as well since losing Kevin Durant to
free agency.
很不幸的，雷霆在KD成为FA离开后，状况就没有那么顺遂了。
Oklahoma City had 95 combined wins over the past two seasons but suffered a
first-round loss in each year, only winning three total games in this stretch.
过去两季雷霆拿下95胜，但是两年季后赛都是一轮游，总共季后赛只赢过三场比赛。
Still, the Thunder clearly believe Donovan is the right man to lead,
especially with the team off to a better start so far in 2018-19. The squad
is currently in third place in the Western Conference, just 1.5 games behind
the Denver Nuggets for the top spot.
然而，雷霆球团很显然相信Donovan是他们要的，尤其目前2018-19赛季目前战绩良好。目
前雷霆西区排名第三，落后首位金块只有1.5场胜差。
There is also more balance in the team than in the past, with Paul George
taking on a bigger role and Dennis Schroder adding offensive depth, while
Russell Westbrook continues to fill up the stat sheet. With the coach now
under contract for another year, the team can focus on finishing the year
strong.
目前的阵容相较之前也比较平衡，当Russell Westbrook在填满数据的同时，PG开始承担更
多的角色，而Dennis Schroder也在增加进攻深度。随着教练Donovan将会再多待一年，球
队现在可以专心打好本赛季。
Anyone waiting for Donovan to return to the college ranks likely shouldn't
hold their breath.
那些等著希望Donovan回去大学球队担任教练的人可能不要再等下去了。
