Is Kevin Durant trying to soften his Cupcake haters in OKC?
KD試圖化解雷霆粉對他的不諒解？

Kevin Durant apparently delivered advice to Paul George that paints Oklahoma
City in a marvelous light.
KD給了PG一些建議，讓雷霆主場奧克拉荷馬市聽起來像是一個超讚的地方。

There’s reason to believe KD’s words to the newest Thunder star were meant
to temper Durant’s haters in his former basketball home. At least, his
message might do that — even if his intentions were elsewhere.
這些建議，讓人認為是KD在試圖化解雷霆粉對他的恨意- 至少從字面上來看是這樣子，但  
實際上KD是不是這樣想就謀郎哉…

“KD was like, ‘That place will blow you away,'” George told Lee Jenkins of
Sports Illustrated. “He told me, ‘They can offer what other teams can’t in
terms of the people and the preparation and the facility, down to the chefs
and the meals.’ He was pretty high on them. He thought it was a first-class
organization in every way.”


“I think of myself as a small-town kid,” Durant told Jenkins last year. “I
liked the small-town vibe. But it was a ghost town. … Now I look at that
building and it’s a beacon, reminding me what we came from. … It’s a big,
diverse city that’s grown with the team.”


In The Players’ Tribune letter announcing his move to the Warriors, Durant
said Oklahoma City “truly raised me” and that it will live in his heart
forever. Yet, there are many Thunder fans who despise Durant for his decision
— and call him a “cupcake” and “snake” at every turn (especially on
Twitter).
在那封宣告KD要去勇士的那封信中，KD說奧克拉荷馬市是"讓他成長"的城市，將會永遠在  
他的心中；雖然雷霆粉仍然瞧不起KD，四處叫KD"杯子蛋糕"和"無良蛇" (尤其是在推特）

George understands why Oklahomans were upset with KD.
“There’s no right way to handle it,” George told Jenkins. “I get the
frustration. I get why people are upset. But at the same time, I want the
average fan to understand that we only get a small window to play this game
and more than anything you want to be able to play for a championship. I
wanted to bring that to Indiana. I really did. I love Indiana. That will
always be a special place for me and I’m sorry for not holding on. But I wasn
’t sure we’d ever get a team together to compete for a championship and that
’s where all this came from.”
PG完全了為何雷霆粉不爽KD。


So maybe George will ease the pain of those still bothered by KD. And maybe
Durant raving about OKC will soothe the strain between its basketball fans
and its former hoops superstar.
或許PG的來到可以幫助撫平因KD離開而導致的球迷憤恨，也或許KD對奧克拉荷馬市的讚美  
會減少雷霆粉跟KD之間的緊張關係。

Of course Durant would praise Oklahoma City that way. He spent eight seasons
in Oklahoma’s capitol and watched it grow into a bigger city. He owned a
25-percent stake in a restaurant just east of downtown OKC.
當然可以瞭解KD為何會這樣稱讚奧克拉荷馬市，他在那邊待了八個球季，從小城市變成大  
都會，更何況他在市中心的某間餐廳有25趴的股份。
