At the season's halfway point, Oklahoma City is 23-18, which matches last season's win total. 亚特兰大报导－今天雷霆以94-91打败老鹰，这是一个里程碑，雷霆在赛季的上 半段有着23W-18L的好成绩，而且胜场数也已经追平去年全年总胜场数。 OKC would have to go 0-41 the second half of the season to finish with the same record. “I feel pretty confident that won't happen,” said coach Scott Brooks, breaking into a smile. 除非雷霆接下来打出0W-41L的成绩，战绩才会跟去年一样。Brooks微笑着说：「我想这不可 能发生的，我很有信心。」 Matching last year's win total halfway into the season shows how far the league's second-youngest team has come in one year. “That's pretty cool. That's a pretty big turnaround,” said Kevin Durant, third in the NBA in scoring. “It shows that defense really wins games. Last year, we were winning games off offense. We showed flashes of it last year on defense. This year, we've been consistent on defense.” 打完上半季就追平去年总胜场数，这代表雷霆这只联盟第二年轻的球队一年之间进步飞快。 (联盟平均得分第三的)KD：「这感觉非常好，是一个非常大的转变，我们的防守让我们获胜 。去年我们只能跟人家比得分，防守不堪一击，今年我们的防守突飞猛进了。」 Improved defense has been the catalyst. Ranked 28th in field goal percentage defense last season, the Thunder is second in the league (43.6 percent). “We know our record,” said Jeff Green. “We know what happened last year. But last year is the past... We're playing great ball. We're playing great defense. We're playing together. That's the big thing. We're making strides, getting better each game.” 防守的进步是战绩进步的催化剂。去年被投篮命中率是联盟第28名，今年则以43.6％排名联 盟第2。Green：「我们知道去年我们防守很烂，但一切都过去了。我们现在打的不错，防守 很好，我们团结一致。这是很重要的，我们大步前进，每场比赛都要打的更好。」 The turnaround actually began last season. After a disastrous 3-29 start, the Thunder was 20-30 over its final 50 games, a respectable finish. “Posting 23 wins last year was not a great record, but we did a lot of good things, knowing that if we continued to establish good habits that it would turn around for us,” Brooks said. “We have some good players who work hard, who are competitive, humble people. 这个转变其实从去年就有迹象。在惨兮兮的3W-29L之後，雷霆打出了可敬的20W-30L。 Brooks说：「23胜虽然不是什麽光彩的战绩，但我们确实作到了一些改进，也知道如果我们 继续维持下去，情况一定会好转。我们有很多认真，有竞争力又谦虚的好球员。」 "It's good to get 23 (at the halfway point). We've just got to keep working hard." 「半季就拿到23胜是件好事。我们将继续努力下去。」 -- 『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。』 --
