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. 讓我們先來談談一個很簡單的事實。上一季，雷霆客場戰績8W-33L，這個戰績在聯盟還不是最爛(還贏了兩隊)排名倒數第三。(也可以說是打太爛才排倒數第三，端視以何種角度來看。) 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. 很快的到了這個球季。雷霆12/28/2009拿到了他們今年客場的第8勝，並且目前客場已經累積10勝了。這現象像是有進步或成長之類的感覺。雷霆目前客場戰績很好(真的很好)在西區的排名跟火箭並列第2(譯註1：這裡不對。我把目前排名放在文末)，同時在聯盟也與火箭一同排名第5。(譯註2：這裡也不對，請參照文末)目前客場勝率.555是西區第3(在湖人與小牛之後，可是湖人只打了11場客場)，聯盟第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. 我感到不可思議。我們都預期這隻球隊會變得越來越好，預期這隻球隊會有一些好的轉變，但客場戰績的大幅進步令人驚奇。客場戰績理論上是一隻年輕球隊或任何一隻球隊最後才能掌握住的。球隊在自己的主場本來就比較佔優勢，但(想在客場取勝的話)球隊是否可以在客場保持與在主場比賽的相同的精力與專注度？事實上，有些不錯的球隊也很難作到。 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. 參考一下以下隊伍的客場戰績：金塊8W-10L，拓荒者9W-9L，爵士6W-10L，太陽8W-10L，馬刺6W-7L。顯然這些球隊至少還有25場客場比賽，所以他們也有可能扭轉(客場打不好)這個情形，但重點是，雷霆在客場的表現一點也不比他們差。事實上，客場戰績才是保持在領先集團的關鍵所在。灰熊現在16W-16L，但客場只有3W-13L，國王14W-19L，但客場只有 3W-12L，黃蜂16W-16L，客場戰績3W-13L，爵爵18W-16L，但客場只有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. 這個猜測當然可能會是一個明顯的錯誤，但如果問說先前的觀察裡含有什麼徵兆，我會說雷霆在所有年輕有天份的球隊裡是領先其他隊伍的(像國王、灰熊、黃蜂、爵爵等)，主要的理由就是我們優異的客場戰績。也許這個猜測是錯的，但我想客場能贏球代表雷霆確實變得更強。有許多理由可以解釋雷霆變強了，但客場戰績會是最容易被了解的。 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. 現在我們來看看雷霆客場贏了哪些球隊，看到這些球隊，你也會覺得我今天說的是對的。這 10勝分別對上：活塞、快艇、馬刺、熱火、爵爵、灰熊、太陽、籃網、巫師、公牛。有四隻球隊勝率高於五成，包括太陽(主場戰績13W-3L)，馬刺(主場戰績14W-5L)跟爵爵(主場戰績 12W-6L)。這些隊伍在主場的總戰績是96W-64L(勝率.600)。由此可知我們客場打的好並不是因為對上軟柿子。 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. 很多年輕有天份的球隊最主要的問題就是主場打的贏，客場打不贏。我們可能都看過類似的戰績：一整年35W-47L，但主場22W-19L，客場只有13W-28L。一隻球隊想往下一個階段邁進的關鍵就是能在客場贏球。現在，雷霆已經找到了這個關鍵。 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. 當然，回頭看看雷霆主場戰績9W-7L，這代表雷霆在主場打的像隻勝率只有五成上下的球隊，我們沒有做好該做的事。但客場的表現是更難掌握的，而且我們在主場還被快艇偷走一勝 (譯註3：原文是說only “bad” loss at home，可是我們之前被超塞在主場打爆…)。話說雷霆之前在主場面對的球隊都是非常強悍的，我想主場打的好是遲早的事。現在這隻隊伍已經建立好良好的基礎，足以在主場獲勝，這是很重要的事情。譯註1：西區球隊客場戰績排名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 譯註2：聯盟客場戰績排名1-10(至01/05/2010) 超塞 13W-4L 湖人 8W-3L 騎士 14W-6L 小牛 12W-6L 魔術 11W-6L 雷霆 10W-8L 老鷹 9W-8L 火箭 10W-10L 熱火 6W-6L 拓荒者 9W-9L -- 『也許你想從我身上尋求許多東西。可是我卻一點也沒有感覺自己有什麼被需求。』 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.22.7.197
