Steven Adams Recalls Kevin Durant Tweeting 'SMH' After Being Drafted by
Thunder
Steven Adams回憶雷霆選秀選他時 KD在推特上的反應是"搖頭"

Kevin Durant apparently had a lukewarm reaction to his former team, the
Oklahoma City Thunder, selecting Steven Adams with the 12th overall pick in
the 2013 draft.
KD在2013年，當時雷霆選秀以第12順位選Steven Adams的決定是很冷淡的。

In his book, Steven Adams: My Life, My Fight, Adams recounted hearing of
Durant's initial response to his arrival on draft night (h/t NBA on ESPN):
在Steven Adams的書裡，Adams講述了在選秀的那晚，KD最初的反應。

"I found out later that the moment I was drafted someone tweeted 'WELP STEVEN
ADAMS TO OKC' and Kevin Durant apparently replied 'smh'. He deleted the tweet
and replaced it with 'Welcome Steven Adams'."
「我發現當我被選上之後，有人在推特上寫了『嗯~Adams去OKC』然後KD在下面留言寫了
『smh(搖搖頭)』(smh: Shake My Head)。他之後刪掉那則留言，然後換上『Steven
Adams，歡迎。』」

Durant provided a more hospitable welcome on Twitter:
KD在推特上歡迎Adams。

Durant also addressed the rumor he didn't want the Thunder to select Adams at
the time, calling it a "buncha bulls--t" (warning: post contains profanity).
KD也對他不希望雷霆那時選Adams這件事做了回覆，說那是"狗屁"謠言。

To be fair, though, Durant wouldn't have been the only person in Oklahoma
City shaking their head over the team's decision.
公平點說，KD不是唯一一個在那時對雷霆這個決定搖頭的人。

The Thunder were coming off a second-round exit in the playoffs and were in
the NBA Finals in 2012. Given that, one would've expected Oklahoma City to
target a player who could help right away.
在2012年，雷霆打入西區決賽最後打入NBA Finals，就當年的狀況，大家會認為OKC應該要
選的新秀是要馬上可以幫助到球隊的。

Instead, Adams was the choice. He spent one year at Pittsburgh, averaging 7.2
points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. While Adams flashed plenty of potential,
many assumed he'd need a year or two of seasoning before he could contribute
to the Thunder in a meaningful way.
然而，他們選了Adams。他在匹茲堡大學打了一年球，場均7.2，6.3個籃板，2次助攻。雖
然Adams展現了相當多的天賦，許多人認為他還需要一到兩年的磨練才能真正幫助到OKC。

Sure enough, Adams was putting up 6.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per
game through his first three seasons, per Basketball Reference, while showing
improvement from year to year.
確實，在Adams的NBA前三年球季，場均6.2分，6個籃板，1個助攻，每年都有在進步。

The 25-year-old has since become a vital piece for Oklahoma City. His 13.9
points and 9.0 rebounds in 2017-18 were a career high, and the Thunder had a
5.0 net rating per 100 possessions with him on the court. The team's net
rating fell to minus-0.6 when he was on the bench, according to NBA.com.
25歲的Adams在那之後就成為OKC的重要角色，2017-18球季場均13.9分，9個籃板，是生涯
新高。OKC有他在場上，每百次球權時可以贏對手五分，但是當他下場休息時，球隊就會輸
對手0.6分。

Durant's deleted tweet is another example why it's rarely a good thing to
have knee-jerk reactions on draft night.
KD刪除掉那則推特這件事告訴我們，為什麼在選秀夜，做一些不經大腦的事很少會有好結
果。
