One Warriors’ player: “With what was said, there is already no way Durant is coming back” 來源:NBCS https://goo.gl/dcVCu8 Since before training camp opened, the Warriors — players and management — have been mentally prepared for this being Kevin Durant‘s last season with the team (Durant is expected to opt out next summer and become a free agent). That doesn’t mean they want it to end. The front office, in particular, will do whatever it can to keep him. It’s just that everyone senses the reality. 自從這季訓練營開始，勇士高層已經做好準備-這是KD在勇士的最後球季 勇士高層盡全力希望KD留下來，但每個人都感覺到現實情況 That reality was pushed into the spotlight after the end of regulation in an eventual loss to the Clippers when Draymond Green chose not to defer to Durant and pass him the ball, instead trying to do it all himself (Green fumbled the ball away and the Warriors didn’t get a shot off). Durant called out Green for the decision (as did other teammates later), Green stood his ground and called Durant a “b****” and said he was making the season about himself with how he has handled his pending free agency. 在對戰快艇時Green選擇不傳球給KD使得情況浮上檯片 KD指正Green的錯誤(勇士其他球員也跟進) 但Green堅持自己的立場對KD罵髒話，並把話題扯到KD這季結束後自由球員的事 “With what was said, there is already no way Durant is coming back,” one player said. “The only hope is that they can say this summer, ‘See, KD. We’ ve got your back. We protected you from Draymond.’ ” 一位勇士球員說: 話說到這，KD不可能會回來了 勇士的唯一希望是明年夏天向KD說: "你看KD 我們挺你 我們保護你免於和Green衝突" Hence the suspension, rather than just a fine for Green. The Warriors wanted the punishment to be public, not just internal. Just to show Durant they have his back. 禁賽不僅是對Green的懲罰，勇士希望懲罰是公開的，向KD表示他們挺他 It’s very likely not enough — and it very likely would not have mattered anyway. Whatever you may think Durant is saying on the court, the stage has already been set for next July. It feels like Durant wants to win one more title, then to go try to pad his legacy with his “own team” somewhere else. 但這可能完全不重要 感覺KD想贏再得一座冠軍，然後去嘗試"他自己的球隊" The Warriors players, including Green and Durant, are professional enough to put all this aside to win. None of this means the Warriors are not still the heavy title favorites. The challenge now for Steve Kerr and everyone else is to just keep focused, keep their eye on the Larry O’Brien trophy and not all the distractions. So, they will keep playing what happened down. 勇士教練和所有人的挑戰是保持專注再奪冠而不被其他事物分心 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.169.213.51 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1542211350.A.C57.html
