: 內文:
: 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.

「Abstract :
今年原是雷霆的擺爛元年，也許1年，也可能要坦2年。但我們現在準備好要打季後賽啦!」




: 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.

哇wo哇wo哇~雖然賽季還很長，現在也才是一月的第一週 。

但我們打出了19勝站穩了西區前7（目前已經20，而7-8之間有5-6場勝差）

這些年我們把最後歡迎的球員放在場上，但我們還沒有看到另外一個明星控衛在我們眼前成長起來

（這邊我的翻譯跟原po差異巨大，可能要靠高手幫忙）

: 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.
: 讓我們回到Russell Westbrook的交易。當雷霆隊宣布他們將售出陣中特別的主菜，
: 球迷最喜歡的以及未來的名人堂時，全部球迷都轉成了坦克模式。
: 緊接著將Paul George交易到他的家鄉快艇隊，瓦解了已經令人失望的核心。

這邊應該沒問題


: 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.
: 交易過後，擺爛是我們心中唯一的事情，如果可以，讓我理解雷霆計畫背後的意圖。
: 在交易量下降，一切都大致底定的時候，我立即趕到TI找到我們無畏的總經理，
: 並提出了要求，比以往更早地解決NBA選秀。兩個首輪選秀權，加上看起來會大量虧損且
: 失誤的名單，這感覺就像今年大學的一樣，只不過這是在NBA。


後面應該翻成 ：

看起來會輸爆被打爛的輪替陣容，就跟NCAA一樣（應該是指Oklahoma State Cowboys）只是現在發生在NBA層級上


: 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.
: 我每次一有新的擺爛想法，就去Tankathon.com進行隨機模擬，直到雷霆獲得最好的選擇。
: 我會馬上將那加入書籤頁。
: 當雷霆隊目前被選為第18順位（以及金塊的第26順位），並且正處於前往季後賽之中
: ，這些計劃都失敗了。
: 在一場Shai Gilgeous-Alexander復出的逆轉勝利，結束面對馬刺長期的連敗，
: 是時候去擁抱勝利了。
: 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.
: 我當時正全副武裝，我對擺爛很興奮。我倒數計時，直到球隊交易了Gallo，Dennis
: ，CP3和其他任何一個甚至有一點價值的人，所以我可以看見Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
: 的演出和雷霆選下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.
: 現在，雷霆更接近進入季後賽，但不是抓住第一個總冠軍。當你考慮到他們現時排在
: 第七的時候，這是非常明顯的。然而，即使這支球隊因為任何原因（糟糕的比賽、交易等
: ）而分崩離析，雷霆也比其他重建的球隊更接近12-14位的選秀權。
: 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.
: 在這一點上，進入季後賽，讓Shai Gilgeous-Alexander，Darius Bazley，和
: Hamidou Diallo得到季後賽經驗，比起獲得第12名選秀權順位的球員還重要。
: 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).
: 對於某些人而言，可悲的是，必須將加油計劃至少放一個賽季。見鬼吧，隨著SGA的出現，
: 也許雷霆可以在沒有直接加油的情況下重新成為冠軍級別的競爭者。雖然我們所有人都
: 希望SGA充滿熱情，令人興奮和嶄新......但沒有人期望他在OKC的第一個賽季（全聯盟第
: 二）打入全明星賽。

在某些人的認知，應該可悲的至少坦一個球季。但隨著SGA的崛起，讓那些計畫見鬼去吧

而我們所有人都熱情的期待，二年級生的SGA可以在雷霆的第一個賽季就入選AS

: 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對這個球隊是神奇的。當然，他在場上的表現是出色的引擎。
: 最引人注目的是他為SGA讓位並允許年輕的後衛接管比賽，為雷霆結束比賽並成
: 長。我認為SGA不會與大多數超級巨星老將或未來的名人堂控球後衛一起時得到。

CP3是雷霆的神奇領航者，在帶領大家前進的時候讓SGA成長茁壯。

我從未想過SGA可以跟一個名人堂一起打球並且成長


: 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經過緩慢的起步後，正在打出自己最好的籃球。Gallo一直是這支球隊真正
: 出色的補充球員和得分手。Dennis Schroder到底怎麼了？一切似乎都第一次打破了雷霆
: 的道路……有史以來第一次嗎？

水行俠在微幅的逆風後開始高飛、嘎哩那裡健康而高效 。天啊！ 看看德軟發生了什麼事情，這可是雷霆史上頭一遭（？


: 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!
: 這個團隊很有趣。這確實令人興奮，你可以說他們在一起很開心。坐下來觀看雷霆隊的82
: 場常規賽是很長時間以來的第一次了。
: 在沒有壓力的情況下，這支球隊發現自己與前一年雷霆隊有Russell Westbrook和
: Paul George時完全相同。
: 當我們擁抱勝利時，我們將重點轉移到了進入NBA季后賽上。我聽到有些人在屏幕上尖叫
: ：這有什麼意義？！這支球隊沒有贏得冠軍！
: 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.
: 這支球隊除了經驗之外，沒有比重建球隊更好的選秀權。
: 是的，球隊不會舉起總冠軍獎盃。但是，這支球隊將非常難出局。這可能意味著在
: 第一輪中將賽季第一血戰至六七場比賽。這也可能意味著要打到第二輪！
: 甚至Bill Simmons在最新的Bill Simmons show中也表示，這支雷霆隊將成為你不希望在
: 季后賽中對峙的一支球隊。但他也說雷霆離開了一個優秀的側翼球員，所以不是一支
: 危險的球隊，我們稍後再討論。
: So what does all this mean? Should the OKC Thunder buy at the deadline? Do
: they just not trade anyone? What happens now?
: 那麼，這意味著什麼？雷霆應該在交易截止前補強嗎？他們只是不交易任何人嗎？
: 現在會發生什麼事?
: 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，雷霆絕對不需要在截止日期前補強任何東西。雖然Bill Simmons是對的，
: 但另一位經驗豐富的側翼老將會加強這一陣容，本賽季不是為了“不遺餘力”
: 也不是為了擺爛。這是關於經驗。
: 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.
: 那麼，雷霆不會交易任何人嗎？好吧，我認為不會有大買賣。當我在十月份被問
: 到這個問題時，我說要交易每個人，然後得到一些回報。現在，這僅對Danilo Gallinari
: 成立，他是無論回報如何我都可以交易的唯一球員。那是由於他的合同即將到期。
: 短評或心得:建立良好的贏球文化真的重要，尤其手上根本一堆籤了，擺爛有點多餘，
: 今年也不像勇士老鷹，就算上層想擺，CP3不給你擺阿!



沒修改的地方就是大部分都差不多


短評： 雷霆現在可能要考慮用最小的代價留下Gally

他可能是2020暑假最好的FA之一 （我喜歡他大於抓猛）

然後源源不絕的首輪可以持續為雷霆添入戰力與籌碼

現在就看CP3油箱的油還可以跑幾年了
