标题:It is time for the OKC Thunder to embrace winning.
内文:
The 2019-20 OKC Thunder season started out as a quest to rebuild the
franchise. To tank for a year, maybe two. Now, the team is ready to make a
playoff push.
2019-20雷霆赛季一开始是为了重建球队。摆烂一年，或许两年。现在，球队已准备
好进入季后赛。
Wow, what a season it has been so far. We are only in the first week of
January yet this season has taken on so many different twists and turns. The
OKC Thunder sits with a record of 19-15 and holding the 7th seed in the
Western Conference Playoffs as of Jan. 3rd. They have put the most
entertaining product on the hardwood in years, and we are watching yet
another star point guard develop before our eyes.
Wow，到目前为止这是多美好的赛季阿。到目前为止。我们只在一月的第一周，然
而这个赛季却经历了许多不同的波折。1/3为止奥克拉荷马雷霆队以19胜15负的战绩坐镇
西区季后赛名额中的第七。雷霆把多年来最有趣的产品放在台面上，而我们正在目睹
另一位明星控球后卫的发展。
Let’s take it back to the Russell Westbrook trade. When the OKC Thunder
announced they were shipping off Franchise staple, fan-favorite, and future
Hall of Famer the entire fanbase went into tank mode. That was on the heels
of trading Paul George to his hometown Clippers and breaking apart an already
disappointing core.
让我们回到Russell Westbrook的交易。当雷霆队宣布他们将售出阵中特别的主菜，
球迷最喜欢的以及未来的名人堂时，全部球迷都转成了坦克模式。
紧接着将Paul George交易到他的家乡快艇队，瓦解了已经令人失望的核心。
After those trades, tanking was the only thing on our minds. If you will
allow, let me peel back the curtain at Thunderous Intentions. After the
trades went down, and the dust settled, I immediately rushed to our fearless
leader at TI and put in a request to tackle the NBA Draft harder, and earlier
than we ever had. With two first-round picks, and a roster that looked as if
it would see a ton of losing and turnover throughout the season it felt like
this year would be defined by the college game just as much as the NBA
version.
交易过后，摆烂是我们心中唯一的事情，如果可以，让我理解雷霆计画背后的意图。
在交易量下降，一切都大致底定的时候，我立即赶到TI找到我们无畏的总经理，
并提出了要求，比以往更早地解决NBA选秀。两个首轮选秀权，加上看起来会大量亏损且
失误的名单，这感觉就像今年大学的一样，只不过这是在NBA。
I had ideas to do tanking updates each week, going to Tankathon.com and
running random simulations until the OKC Thunder nabbed the top pick. I
immediately bookmarked the page.
Those plans get foiled when the OKC Thunder is currently pegged for the 18th
pick (as well as the 26th pick from Denver) and are in the middle of a
playoff push.
After yet another comeback win toppling the franchise that has long given the
OKC Thunder fits in the San Antonio Spurs that saw Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
lit it up yet again, it is time to embrace winning.
我每次一有新的摆烂想法，就去Tankathon.com进行随机模拟，直到雷霆获得最好的选择。
我会马上将那加入书签页。
当雷霆队目前被选为第18顺位（以及金块的第26顺位），并且正处于前往季后赛之中
，这些计划都失败了。
在一场Shai Gilgeous-Alexander复出的逆转胜利，结束面对马刺长期的连败，
是时候去拥抱胜利了。
I was fully on board with tanking, I was excited to tank. I was counting down
the days until the organization dealt Gallo, Dennis, CP3 and anyone else of
even a little value so I could watch Shai Gilgeous-Alexander run the show and
the OKC Thunder draft James Wiseman or Cole Anthony.
我当时正全副武装，我对摆烂很兴奋。我倒数计时，直到球队交易了Gallo，Dennis
，CP3和其他任何一个甚至有一点价值的人，所以我可以看见Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
的演出和雷霆选下James Wiseman或Cole Anthony。
Now, the OKC Thunder are closer to making the playoffs than capturing the
first overall pick. That is pretty obvious when you consider that they are
currently seventh. However, even if this team falls apart for whatever the
reason (poor play, trades, etc) they are closer to the 12-14th pick than a
franchise-altering one.
现在，雷霆更接近进入季后赛，但不是抓住第一个总冠军。当你考虑到他们现时排在
第七的时候，这是非常明显的。然而，即使这支球队因为任何原因（糟糕的比赛、交易等
）而分崩离析，雷霆也比其他重建的球队更接近12-14位的选秀权。
At this point, making the postseason and getting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander,
Darius Bazley, and Hamidou Diallo playoff experience is more valuable than
the right to draft maybe the 12th best draft-eligible player.
在这一点上，进入季后赛，让Shai Gilgeous-Alexander，Darius Bazley，和
Hamidou Diallo得到季后赛经验，比起获得第12名选秀权顺位的球员还重要。
Sadly for some, the plans of tanking must be put on the backburner for at
least a season. Heck, with SGA’s emergence, maybe the OKC Thunder can retool
a championship level contender without outright tanking. While we all
expected SGA to be fun, exciting, and new…no one expected him to play at an
All-Star level in his first season with OKC (second in the NBA).
对于某些人而言，可悲的是，必须将加油计划至少放一个赛季。见鬼吧，随着SGA的出现，
也许雷霆可以在没有直接加油的情况下重新成为冠军级别的竞争者。虽然我们所有人都
希望SGA充满热情，令人兴奋和崭新......但没有人期望他在OKC的第一个赛季（全联盟第
二）打入全明星赛。
Chris Paul has been amazing for this organization. Sure, his play on the
floor has been exceptional and clutch. What stands out the most is him
stepping aside for SGA and allowing the young guard to take over games late,
close games for the OKC Thunder, and grow. That is an experience I do not
think SGA would get with most superstar veteran future Hall of Fame point
guards.
Chris Paul对这个球队是神奇的。当然，他在场上的表现是出色的引擎。
最引人注目的是他为SGA让位并允许年轻的后卫接管比赛，为雷霆结束比赛并成
长。我认为SGA不会与大多数超级巨星老将或未来的名人堂控球后卫一起时得到。
Steven Adams, after a slow start, is playing some of his best basketball.
Gallo has been a truly great complementary player and go-to scorer for this
team. What the heck has gotten into Dennis Schroder? Everything seems to be
breaking the Thunder’s way for the first time…ever?
Steven Adams经过缓慢的起步后，正在打出自己最好的篮球。Gallo一直是这支球队真正
出色的补充球员和得分手。Dennis Schroder到底怎么了？一切似乎都第一次打破了雷霆
的道路……有史以来第一次吗？
This team is so fun to watch. It is truly exciting, and you can tell they are
having fun together. For the first time in a long time, it is an enjoyable
experience to sit down and watch the 82 regular-season games for the Thunder.
With no pressure, this team has found themselves in the exact same spot as
the previous two iterations of the Thunder that featured Russell Westbrook
and Paul George.
As we embrace winning, we shift our focus into making the NBA Playoffs. I
hear some of you screaming at your screen: What is the point?! This team is
not winning a title!
这个团队很有趣。这确实令人兴奋，你可以说他们在一起很开心。坐下来观看雷霆队的82
场常规赛是很长时间以来的第一次了。
在没有压力的情况下，这支球队发现自己与前一年雷霆队有Russell Westbrook和
Paul George时完全相同。
当我们拥抱胜利时，我们将重点转移到了进入NBA季后赛上。我听到有些人在屏幕上尖叫
：这有什么意义？！这支球队没有赢得冠军！
Outside of the experience, outside of being closer to a mediocre draft pick
than a franchise-altering one, the answer is this team.
Yes, the team is not going to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy. However, this
team is going to be an extremely tough out. That could mean pushing a top
seed to six or seven games in round one. It also could mean pulling off a
round one upset! Even Bill Simmons on the latest Bill Simmons show said that
this OKC Thunder team is going to be one you do not want to face-off within
the postseason. He also said they are a good wing player away from being a
dangerous team, which we can discuss later.
这支球队除了经验之外，没有比重建球队更好的选秀权。
是的，球队不会举起总冠军奖杯。但是，这支球队将非常难出局。这可能意味着在
第一轮中将赛季第一血战至六七场比赛。这也可能意味着要打到第二轮！
甚至Bill Simmons在最新的Bill Simmons show中也表示，这支雷霆队将成为你不希望在
季后赛中对峙的一支球队。但他也说雷霆离开了一个优秀的侧翼球员，所以不是一支
危险的球队，我们稍后再讨论。
So what does all this mean? Should the OKC Thunder buy at the deadline? Do
they just not trade anyone? What happens now?
那么，这意味着什么？雷霆应该在交易截止前补强吗？他们只是不交易任何人吗？
现在会发生什么事?
Well, the Thunder absolutely do not need to buy anything at the deadline.
While Bill Simmons is right, another veteran wing would bolster this roster,
this season is not about “going for it.” it also is not about tanking. It
is about the experience.
好吧，雷霆绝对不需要在截止日期前补强任何东西。虽然Bill Simmons是对的，
但另一位经验丰富的侧翼老将会加强这一阵容，本赛季不是为了“不遗余力”
也不是为了摆烂。这是关于经验。
So do the OKC Thunder just not trade anyone? Well, in my opinion, you do not
have a fire sale. When I was asked this in October, I said trade everyone and
just get something in return. Now, that is only true for Danilo Gallinari, he
is the only player that I would be okay with the team trading no matter the
return. That is due to his expiring deal.
那么，雷霆不会交易任何人吗？好吧，我认为不会有大买卖。当我在十月份被问
到这个问题时，我说要交易每个人，然后得到一些回报。现在，这仅对Danilo Gallinari
成立，他是无论回报如何我都可以交易的唯一球员。那是由于他的合同即将到期。
短评或心得:建立良好的赢球文化真的重要，尤其手上根本一堆签了，摆烂有点多余，
今年也不像勇士老鹰，就算上层想摆，CP3不给你摆阿!
