Carmelo Anthony explains why he wasn't successful in Oklahoma City
Carmelo Anthony解釋為何在OKC沒有好表現
The Carmelo Anthony experiment was a failure in Oklahoma City, as the
34-year-old suffered a down year and struggled to adapt to a new role in a
Russell Westbrook-dominated offense.
去年OKC採用Carmelo Anthony算是一個失敗的實驗，這34歲的老將在這一年令人失望，他
掙扎著找尋在這個以Westbrook為主的攻擊系統下，他該扮演的新角色。
The Thunder traded Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a 2018 second-round pick
to the Knicks in late September in exchange for Anthony, who joined a Thunder
team that had just welcomed fellow All-Star Paul George.
上一季雷霆用Enes Kanter，Doug McDermott以及2018的次輪選秀，跟尼克換來了
Anthony，與才剛加入的Paul George一起為雷霆打球。
Oklahoma City’s new Big 3 seemed like an awkward combo of scorers from the
start, and Anthony set or matched career lows in scoring, field goal
percentage rebounds, assists and steals as the Thunder won 48 games and
suffered a first-round playoff exit. Anthony’s enormous contract was
untenable for the Thunder moving forward, and the team traded Anthony to the
Hawks in a three-team deal that became official Wednesday.
不過OKC的Big 3從一開始似乎就像是一個很奇怪的得分組合，Anthony的一些數據都是創
生涯最低紀錄或是平生涯最低，包括得分，命中率，助攻以及抄截，最終雷霆以48勝打入
季後賽，但是第一輪就淘汰。Anthony巨大合約原本讓雷霆無法向前行，但是在與老鷹達成
三方合約後，OKC把Anthony交易掉，在星期三正式生效。
Anthony is still set to receive the $27.9 million remaining on his contract
in an expected buyout from the Hawks, and will be free to sign with another
team later this summer. In an interview with ESPN’s Jemele Hill, Anthony
broke down what went wrong with the Thunder, explaining that his move to
Oklahoma City was simply “rushed.”
老鷹被認為會買斷Anthony的合約，Anthony仍然可以拿到合約上剩下的2790萬鎂的錢，在
這夏季尾聲會成為FA。在與ESPN的訪問中，Anthony說明了為何在OKC的組合不成功，也解
釋他去OKC的交易就是個匆忙。
Via ESPN:
“It wasn’t a good fit…. Everything was just so rushed, going to the team
for media day and the day before training camp. Them guys already had
something in place, and then I come along in the 25th hour like, oh s—, Melo
just come on and join us. Like, you can figure it out since you’ve been
around the game for a long time. That’s why it was so inconsistent. At
times, I had to figure it out on my own rather than somebody over there or
people over there helping me.”
Anthony在ESPN訪問中說到：
「那樣的組合不是很對...每件事都很匆忙，像是媒體日以及在開訓前一日。裡面的球員都
已經就定位，而我像是最後一秒才加入，他們像是『喔乾！甜瓜要來加入我們了。』在NBA
打滾了這麼多年，很容易就察覺到了。那就是我們為何表現起起伏伏的原因。有幾次，我
得要靠自己解決問題，而不是靠那邊的人來幫我。」
Anthony is now expected to be waived by the Hawks and is reportedly in line
to join the Houston Rockets once he clears waivers.
Anthony被認為會被老鷹釋出，也被報一旦完成釋出，他就會加入火箭。
