本賽季結束，凱文杜蘭特可以選擇繼續留在勇士追求下一個冠軍，也可以加入一個像尼克斯這樣的隊伍，那樣他能夠打出更加驚人的表現。

杜蘭特在勇士得到了想要的一切，如果說還缺點什麼的話，就是作爲核心獨自帶領一個球隊前行。

Kevin Durant to the Knicks isn ’ t as crazy as it sounds. It ’ s more than just the chance to build his brand. There are basketball reasons for him to make the move next summer. Durant didn ’ t go to Golden State just to win titles; he wanted to become a complete player. He no longer has any holes in his game. The only thing left is to be a primary ball handler, something he can ’ t do while playing on the same team as Steph Curry.

杜蘭特前往尼克斯其實順理成章。因爲這不僅僅是豎立他個人品牌的一個機會，而且在明年夏季，還有很多出於籃球考慮的原因，足以使他做出決定。他先前投奔勇士不只是爲了冠軍；他想成爲一個全面的球員。如今比賽中他已無任何瑕疵。唯一有待精進的就是成爲當家球星，然而與庫裏同隊，這點是永遠無法實現的。

more than 在此爲 不僅僅

1. 勇士生涯，榮譽滿滿

來到勇士後，杜蘭特效率高到爆炸，攻防兩端皆是如此。

Durant had a career-high true shooting percentage ( 65.1 ) two seasons ago, and averaged a career high in assists ( 5.7 ) per 36 minutes last season. His block rate ( 3.9 percent ) is almost twice as high as it was in Oklahoma City.Steph and Durant are the only two players in NBA history who have a season with a true shooting percentage higher than 64.0 while attempting more than six 3-pointers a game.

過去 2 個賽季，杜蘭特的真實投籃命中率創生涯新高 65.1%，上賽季場均 36 分鐘內可斬獲 5.7 助攻，創生涯新高。他的封蓋率 3.9%，近乎在俄城時的 2 倍。在 NBA 歷史上，庫裏和杜蘭特是唯一一對場均 3 分出手 6 次以上同時賽季投籃真實命中率高於 64% 的球員。

2. 杜詹對比，相似頗多

作爲聯盟前兩位小前鋒，杜蘭特和詹姆斯有很多相似之處。

Durant, like LeBron, can defend players at all five positions, and play all five positions on offense. And while Durant will never be as good of a passer as LeBron, LeBron will never be as good of a shooter as Durant. It ’ s unclear how Durant would do in a role like the one LeBron had in Cleveland and Miami. He has played with either Westbrook or Steph his entire career.

和勒布朗一樣，杜蘭特防守端可以對位場上 5 個位置，進攻端也能勝任 5 個位置。杜蘭特傳球遜色於詹姆斯，而投籃更勝一籌。騎士和熱火時詹姆斯所扮演角色，換成杜蘭特，他會如何做尚不清楚。他的整個生涯，身邊不是威少就是庫裏。

3. 搭檔波神，紐約假想

給杜蘭特配上波神，和詹姆斯樂福搭檔相比怎麼樣呢？

The Knicks can build a better version of last season ’ s Cavs around Durant. Kristaps Porzingis, assuming he can return healthy from the torn ACL he suffered last February, is an evolutionary Kevin Love. Porzingis would open up the floor for Durant, while Durant would create open 3s for him. Porzingis isn ’ t as good a passer or rebounder as Love, but his defensive ability makes him a better fit as a no. 2 option.Porzingis, already an elite big man at 23, will be even better next to Durant.

尼克斯可以圍繞杜蘭特打造出上賽季騎士的升級版陣容。波爾津吉斯如果能從二月韌帶撕裂中康復，將是進化版的勒夫。波爾津吉斯可以給杜蘭特拉開空間，而杜蘭特也能爲波爾津吉斯創造 3 分空位。籃板和傳球，波爾津吉斯不如勒夫，但他的防守能力使他更適合第二選擇。23 歲時波爾津吉斯已成長爲頂尖的大個子球員，與杜蘭特搭檔他會更出色。

evolutionary [ ˌ i:v əˈ lu: ʃə nri ] adj. 進化的

elite [ ɪˈ lit, e ˈ lit ] n.< 法 > 精華 ; 精銳，精英 ; 上層集團

如果杜蘭特真去了尼克斯，那他和去了湖人的詹姆斯經歷就更加相似了。

Durant would be putting his faith in a bunch of young players if he came to the Knicks. It ’ s no different than what LeBron did with the Lakers. Durant has been chasing LeBron his entire career, and they could wind up with strikingly similar career arcs. Golden State could be Durant ’ s version of Miami, a place where he learned how to win before taking those lessons to a new franchise that built everything around him.

若加盟尼克斯，杜蘭特將選擇信任一羣年輕人。與詹姆斯在湖人的作爲如出一轍。整個職業生涯杜蘭特都在追趕詹姆斯，而最終會以極其相似的生涯軌跡告終。金州勇士可以算得上杜蘭特版本的邁阿密，這裏他學會了如何贏球，之後他可以把這些經驗帶到一支以他爲基石建隊的新球隊。

4. 前程未定，未來可期

杜蘭特最終何去何從現在無法得知，但可以肯定的是他的未來還有很多精彩篇章。

Everything is on the table for Durant. A three-peat with the Warriors means he will have as many rings as LeBron. A team with Durant on it will always be a contender. If it doesn ’ t work out in New York, he can go somewhere else in a couple seasons and create a new dynasty. He just turned 30 in September. There are a lot more chapters in his career to be written.

一切選擇都擺在杜蘭特面前。和勇士隊奪得三連冠將使他追平詹姆斯冠軍戒指數。任何一支擁有杜蘭特的球隊都是爭冠勁旅。尼克斯失敗的話，一兩個賽季內他還可以去其他球隊，創造王朝。今年 9 月才年滿 30，他的生涯還有華章可以譜寫。
