Last season, Oklahoma City was 8-33 away from the Ford Center. That was good for (or bad for, depending on perspective) the third fewest road wins in the league last year. 让我们先来谈谈一个很简单的事实。上一季，雷霆客场战绩8W-33L，这个战绩在联盟还不是 最烂(还赢了两队)排名倒数第三。(也可以说是打太烂才排倒数第三，端视以何种角度来看 。) Fast forward to this season. The Thunder won their eighth road game on Dec. 28 and already has 10 in their pocket. That’s like, improvement or something. OKC ’s 10 road wins are good for (and this time, there’s no alternative) second in the Western Conference (tied with Houston) and fifth overall in the league (again, tied with Houston). The Thunder’s .555 road winning percentage is third in the West (behind Dallas and the Lakers, who have only played 11 road games so far) and fourth overall in the league. 很快的到了这个球季。雷霆12/28/2009拿到了他们今年客场的第8胜，并且目前客场已经累 积10胜了。这现象像是有进步或成长之类的感觉。雷霆目前客场战绩很好(真的很好)在西区 的排名跟火箭并列第2(译注1：这里不对。我把目前排名放在文末)，同时在联盟也与火箭一 同排名第5。(译注2：这里也不对，请参照文末)目前客场胜率.555是西区第3(在湖人与小牛 之後，可是湖人只打了11场客场)，联盟第4。 To me, that’s amazing. We all expected this team to be better. We all expected some kind of turnaround. But that drastic of a turnaround on the road is astounding. That’s typically the last thing that comes for young teams, or really any team. Sure you can win at home, but can you take that same energy and focus on the road? In fact, some really good teams don’t. 我感到不可思议。我们都预期这只球队会变得越来越好，预期这只球队会有一些好的转变， 但客场战绩的大幅进步令人惊奇。客场战绩理论上是一只年轻球队或任何一只球队最後才能 掌握住的。球队在自己的主场本来就比较占优势，但(想在客场取胜的话)球队是否可以在客 场保持与在主场比赛的相同的精力与专注度？事实上，有些不错的球队也很难作到。 Consider: Denver is 8-10 on the road. Portland 9-9. Utah 6-10. Phoenix 8-10. San Antonio 6-7. Obviously, there are still some 25 road games left for basically everyone so things could change. But at this point, OKC’s road production is nothing short of holy-crap impressive. In fact, it’s what separates them from other teams around them in the standings. Memphis is 16-16, but 6-11 on the road. Sacramento is a surprising 14-19, but 3-12 away from Arco. New Orleans 16-16, but 3-13 in roadies. Utah 18-16, but 6-10 in road tilts. 参考一下以下队伍的客场战绩：金块8W-10L，拓荒者9W-9L，爵士6W-10L，太阳8W-10L，马 刺6W-7L。显然这些球队至少还有25场客场比赛，所以他们也有可能扭转(客场打不好)这个 情形，但重点是，雷霆在客场的表现一点也不比他们差。事实上，客场战绩才是保持在领 先集团的关键所在。灰熊现在16W-16L，但客场只有3W-13L，国王14W-19L，但客场只有 3W-12L，黄蜂16W-16L，客场战绩3W-13L，爵爵18W-16L，但客场只有6W-10L。 indication, I’d say OKC is a step ahead of all teams directly around it (Sacto, Memphis, NOLA, Utah, etc.) mainly because of the road wins. Maybe not, but I think the winning on the road means the Thunder is simply put, a better team. There are maybe a whole host of reasons as to why OKC is, but the road wins are an easy place to start. 这个猜测当然可能会是一个明显的错误，但如果问说先前的观察里含有什麽徵兆，我会说雷 霆在所有年轻有天份的球队里是领先其他队伍的(像国王、灰熊、黄蜂、爵爵等)，主要的理 由就是我们优异的客场战绩。也许这个猜测是错的，但我想客场能赢球代表雷霆确实变得更 强。有许多理由可以解释雷霆变强了，但客场战绩会是最容易被了解的。 Now before you look it up, I have it right here for you. The Thunder’s 10 road wins are against Detroit, the Clippers, San Antonio, Miami, Utah, Memphis, Phoenix, New Jersey, Washington and Chicago. That’s four wins against .500 or better teams, including Phoenix (13-3 at home), San Antonio (14-5 home) and Utah (12-6 home). And all those teams are a combined 96-64 (.600 winning percentage) on their own floor. So it’s not like the wins have all come against patsies. 现在我们来看看雷霆客场赢了哪些球队，看到这些球队，你也会觉得我今天说的是对的。这 10胜分别对上：活塞、快艇、马刺、热火、爵爵、灰熊、太阳、篮网、巫师、公牛。有四只 球队胜率高於五成，包括太阳(主场战绩13W-3L)，马刺(主场战绩14W-5L)跟爵爵(主场战绩 12W-6L)。这些队伍在主场的总战绩是96W-64L(胜率.600)。由此可知我们客场打的好并不是 因为对上软柿子。 The main problem so many young but talented teams face is yeah, they can win at home. But they stink when they take it on the road. You'll see a squad with an overall record of 35-47, but they were 22-19 at home and 13-28 on the road. The way teams step into that next level is that they start winning away from home. Right now, Oklahoma City is finding that formula. 很多年轻有天份的球队最主要的问题就是主场打的赢，客场打不赢。我们可能都看过类似的 战绩：一整年35W-47L，但主场22W-19L，客场只有13W-28L。一只球队想往下一个阶段迈进 的关键就是能在客场赢球。现在，雷霆已经找到了这个关键。 Sure, maybe you could look at it that the 9-7 home record is a bigger deal because that means the Thunder isn’t taking care of business at home like their around .500 counterparts, but road winning is the harder skill to master. Especially when consider really the only “bad” loss at home was to the Clippers. The Thunder’s home schedule has been incredibly tough thus far. The Ford Center wins will come. But the fact this team is piling them up away from it, is kind of a big deal. 当然，回头看看雷霆主场战绩9W-7L，这代表雷霆在主场打的像只胜率只有五成上下的球队 ，我们没有做好该做的事。但客场的表现是更难掌握的，而且我们在主场还被快艇偷走一胜 (译注3：原文是说only “bad” loss at home，可是我们之前被超塞在主场打爆…)。话说 雷霆之前在主场面对的球队都是非常强悍的，我想主场打的好是迟早的事。现在这只队伍已 经建立好良好的基础，足以在主场获胜，这是很重要的事情。 译注1：西区球队客场战绩排名1-5(至01/05/2010) 湖人 8W-3L 小牛 12W-6L 雷霆 10W-8L 火箭 10W-10L 拓荒者 9W-9L 译注2：联盟客场战绩排名1-10(至01/05/2010) 超塞 13W-4L 湖人 8W-3L 骑士 14W-6L 小牛 12W-6L 魔术 11W-6L 雷霆 10W-8L 老鹰 9W-8L 火箭 10W-10L 热火 6W-6L 拓荒者 9W-9L -- 『也许你想从我身上寻求许多东西。可是我却一点也没有感觉自己有什麽被需求。』 --
