The Oklahoma City Thunder have fired head coach Scott Brooks, the team
announced Wednesday.


俄克拉何馬城雷霆 在本周三4/22 已經確定裁撤 Scott Brooks 總教練一職



"This is an extremely difficult decision on many levels," general manager Sam
Presti said in a statement. "This decision is not a reflection of this past
season, but rather an assessment of what we feel is necessary at this point
in time in order to continually evolve, progress and sustain. We determined
that, in order to stimulate progress and put ourselves in the best position
next season and as we looked to the future, a transition of this kind was
necessary for the program."

OKC球隊總經理 Sam Presti 在本周三回到加州後，在他的申明中指出：

總結來說，這是一個非常困難的決定。

這個決定不僅是反映球隊過去幾個賽季的表現，
而是更進一步的評估什麼是球隊未來可以持續提升、進步跟維持所需要的。

為了讓我們在下一個賽季有一個更好的表現，並對未來有更好的發展，
這是一個必須做的計畫/決定。



The Thunder missed the playoffs on the final day of the regular season this
year, the first time they failed to make the postseason since 2008-09. The
team was plagued with injuries, with reigning MVP Kevin Durant playing in
only 27 games. Russell Westbrook also missed 15 games, and Serge Ibaka didn't
play in the final 18.


雷霆隊在今年最後一天例行賽後，確定錯過了今年的季後賽，這是他們自從08-09賽
季後，第一次沒有打入季後賽的名單。

今年雷霆隊保受傷兵困擾，包括今年尋求衛冕MVP的 Kevin Durant 他只打了27場，
Russell Westbrook也錯過了15場，Serge Ibaka更是缺席了賽季末最後18場比賽。



"He led us, man," Durant said of Brooks. "He made sure everybody was
emotionally stable because we had a lot of guys in and out of the lineup and
he kept everybody together. That's what your head coach is supposed to do. I
can't really say nothing about it because he did his job. He kept us
together."

Durant對總教練Brooks表示：他帶領我們，他確保每一個球員都可以在良好的狀態下比賽
，進而更換了許多陣容來讓大家團結一致比賽。這是總教練應該去做的職責，
當然我不可能去說他沒做好，因為他確實是有這麼做。





Durant posted further thoughts on Brooks' dismissal on his Instagram page and
thanked his departing coach.

Durant 稍早在他個人的IG貼出了一則動態來謝謝總教練的離開：(圖請見連結)



今天是一個艱難的日子，為了對雷霆隊將來的球季著想，我得100%支持球隊今天所做的決
定。在過去七個球季中，Scotty不僅是我的教練還是一個朋友，我們共同達成許多成就，
這些是時間無法從我們之間奪走的。在他的帶領下，我同時成為了一為男人跟一個籃球員
，我將會感激他一輩子。我知道他在未來仍會非常成功，不管在他人生中下一個決定會是
什麼。


Sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that Brooks, meanwhile, instantly will
become a candidate in both Denver and Orlando, which are the only two teams
besides Oklahoma City to currently have an opening. Brooks is a well-known
developer of young talent and has a prior relationship with Magic general
manager Rob Hennigan, who worked under Presti with the Thunder.

有消息向ESPN.com’s Marc stein指出，Brooks同時也成為丹佛跟奧蘭多球隊的總教練人
選之一，Brooks對於訓練及發展年輕、有天分的球員是非常在行的，而且奧蘭多球隊經理
Rob Hennigan先前也曾在Presti的雷霆隊中共事過，所以和Brooks更是一段緣分。




Brooks had a .620 winning percentage with the team and guided the Thunder to
five playoff appearances in seven seasons -- including three of the past four
Western Conference finals and the NBA Finals in 2012.

Brooks在雷霆隊執教的六個賽季中，有著六成二的勝率，並曾帶領球隊打入五次季後賽，
包括過去三次的西區決賽跟2012年的冠軍賽。
