With respect to the 2020-21 NBA season, the national television schedule-makers
for the NBA’s television partners gave the Oklahoma City Thunder the Rodney Dan
gerfield treatment — no respect.
關於2020-21賽季，NBA在全國電視轉播的合作伙伴沒給雷霆面子的。

The club is just one of seven teams that will not have any of its games national
ly televised, at least not during the first-half of the regular season.
雷霆成為七支沒有任何全國轉播的球隊之一，至少在上半季不會有。

On Friday, the league’s teams each released their individual schedules. For now
, only the first-half of the games to be played this season have been scheduled,
with the league planning to announce the second-half schedule at a later time.
本週五聯盟各隊公佈了自己的賽程，目前只排定了上半季的賽事，下半季則計畫在之後再公
佈。

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers lead the way w
ith 16 of its 37 announced games nationally televised. The Boston Celtics, Dalla
s Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors will each have 14 ap
pearances on national television.
沒什麼意外的，衛冕軍湖人在37場已公佈的賽事中，獲得16場的全國轉播，領先全聯盟。塞
爾提克、獨行俠、鵜鶘和勇士則分別有14場。

On the other end of the spectrum, joining the Thunder, are the Washington Wizard
s, San Antonio Spurs, Detriot Pistons, Orlando Magic, Sacramento Kings and Cleve
land Cavaliers.
另一方面，跟雷霆一樣待遇的則有巫師、馬刺、活塞、魔術、國王和騎士。

Most players look forward to appearances on national television. It’s an opport
unity for them to promote themselves and to be seen by friends and family who ma
y not be within the team’s local television market. Not even having one nationa
l game is bound to get noticed by players on the team.
大多數的球員都希望現身在全國轉播上，這是他們表現的機會，並且打球給那些不在地方電
視台轉播範圍內的家人朋友看。完全沒有任何全國轉播勢必會引起球員們關注。

The saving grace for the Thunder might be the fact that of Kevin Durant, Russell
Westbrook, Chris Paul and Steven Adams, only Durant’s return to Oklahoma City
has been announced. He will make his return to Chesapeake Arena on Jan. 29, 2021
. That game, however, will not be televised nationally.
雷霆隊可能要靠Kevin Durant、Russell Westbrook、Chris Paul和Steven Adams打老東家
的戲碼來救援，其中Durant將在2021/1/29登場，不過那場比賽還是沒有全國轉播。

Because only the first half of the season schedule has been released, it is not
yet known when Westbrook, Paul or Adams will make their returns. But based on wh
at we’ve seen so far, it’s safe to assume that the Thunder will be completely
shut out.
因為還只公佈上半季賽程，因此還不知道Westbrook、Paul和Adams何時回來，但是連Durant
都不轉播的話，那可能整個賽季都不會有了。

While not surprising, it’s worth noting where the team stacks up in terms of wh
at the league’s TV partners believe its fans want to see.
雖然不意外，但值得注意的是，根據轉播場次可以得知，轉播單位認為他們的觀眾想看到什
麼。
