Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard said his game-winning shot that
ended the Oklahoma City Thunder’s season “was for Seattle,” in an
appearance on Sports Business Radio Podcast.
拓荒者隊球星Damian Lillard在最近接受Sports Business Radio的訪問時，表示他
在季後賽終結雷霆隊球季的那記經典絕殺球，「也是為了西雅圖」而投的。
On April 23, Lillard knocked down a buzzer-beating trey in Game 5 that sealed
the series for the Blazers and sent the Thunder home.
美國時間4月23日，Lillard在與雷霆隊對戰的第一輪第五場比賽，投進了遠距離的
再見大號三分球，不僅使拓荒者隊晉級下一輪，也順便把雷霆隊送回家。
註︰「Trey」原先是指紙牌或骰子的三點，近年來口語英文也開始將意思延伸到
三分球
The Thunder, of course, replaced the Seattle SuperSonics when a string of
disputes about the team’s arena led to the franchise moving in 2008.
由於西雅圖因興建新主場引發的連串爭議始終未能搞定，雷霆經營團隊在2008年，
藉由將主場搬至奧克拉荷馬州，取代了原來的超音速隊。
The point guard has made a habit of clutch series winners after knocking out
the Houston Rockets in similar fashion a few years ago, but this year’s
dagger came at the expense of a team much-maligned by Seattleites.
Lillard其實在2014年，就已經同樣藉著在主場絕殺淘汰火箭隊，建立自己在球賽
倒數時刻投進致勝球的名聲。不過今年比較特別的是，這回在小李絕殺飛刀下的
受害者，正是已經因上述原因被西雅圖居民強烈憎恨的雷霆隊。
Sonics fans have longed for an NBA return in Seattle, but commissioner Adam
Silver says expansion plans won’t be on the docket anytime soon.
當地的超音速球迷長久以來都期待著NBA把球隊帶回西雅圖有一段時間，但聯盟主席
Adam Silver卻一再表示「擴張球隊的計畫，並不是聯盟最優先的事項」。
註︰「Docket」指的是清單或備忘錄
Meanwhile, the Thunder have completely shaken up its roster in the
postseason, with stars Russell Westbrook being traded to Houston and Paul
George heading to the Los Angeles Clippers.
與此同時，雷霆隊在季後賽之後正經歷球隊陣容的完全重組，他們先是將明星前鋒
Paul George送往洛杉磯快艇，接著就是把球隊資歷更久的後衛Russell Westbrook
交易至休士頓火箭。
