You might want to scoot back a little because your screen’s about to catch fire. Kevin Durant – a defender’s worst nightmare -- gets buckets in nearly every way imaginable, and these 30 plays that you’re about to see from a storied NBA career carry nothing but heat.

你可能想后退一点，因为你的屏幕要着火了。凯文·杜兰特——一个防守球员最糟糕的噩梦——几乎能用你能想象到的所有方式进球，你将从这30段比赛集锦中看到一段传奇热血的NBA职业生涯。

Dunks, ball-handling, passing, 3-point shooting … Durant provides it all in this series of clips, which also showcase the forward’s prowess as an underrated defender who routinely snuffs out opponents in transition with his massive 7-foot-5 wingspan.

扣篮、控球、传球、三分投篮……杜兰特在这一系列视频中展示了各种各样的得分手段，也展示了这位前锋被低估的防守实力，他经常用7尺5（即2.28米）的巨大臂展抢断对手的运球。

A two-time NBA champion, 12-time All-Star, Rookie of the Year in 2008, MVP in 2014, and two-time Finals MVP, Durant is blessed with the rare combination of size (6-foot-10) and a feather-soft shooting touch that has enabled him to capture four scoring crowns to tie George Gervin and Allen Iverson for the third-most in league annals.

作为两届NBA冠军、12届全明星、2008年最佳新秀、2014年最有价值球员和两届总决赛MVP，杜兰特拥有罕见的身高（6尺10，即2.08米）和柔和的投篮手感，这使他获得了四次得分王，与乔治·格文和艾伦·艾弗森并列联盟历史第三。

What’s more is Durant is still going strong in his 14th NBA season.

更重要的是，杜兰特在他的第14个NBA赛季依然表现强劲。

The second pick of the 2007 NBA Draft, Durant came into the league already exuding confidence borne from competing in training camp as an 18-year-old with the USA Basketball Men’s Senior National Team on a roster featuring legends Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Dwight Howard ahead of the FIBA Americas Championship.

作为 2007 年 NBA 选秀的第二顺位，杜兰特在 18 岁的时候就与美国男篮高级国家队的阵容中的传奇人物科比·布莱恩特、卡梅罗·安东尼、勒布朗·詹姆斯和德怀特·霍华德在国际篮联美洲锦标赛前一起参加训练营，那使他初入联盟就充满自信。

“I committed to USA Basketball when I was coming out of college, and every chance that I can get that I’m healthy and my mind’s in the right place to play basketball, I’m going to go out there and play,” Durant said in July of 2021, just before winning his third Olympic gold medal on the way to becoming the most decorated player in USA Basketball history.

“我大学毕业时就梦想参加为国出战，只要我身体健康且心态适合打球，我就会把握住机会去打球，”杜兰特在 2021 年 7 月（即他赢得第三枚奥运金牌之前）说道。他正在成为美国篮球历史上获得金牌最多的球员（注：卡梅罗·安东尼也是三枚金牌）。

Coming off the stint with USA Basketball, Durant became the only Seattle SuperSonic to win NBA Rookie of the Year, serving as one of the few bright spots for a team that captured 20 victories before relocating to Oklahoma City. Durant averaged 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists as a rookie.

杜兰特离开美国队后，成为西雅图唯一一位赢得NBA年度最佳新秀奖的超音速球员，成为这支球队的为数不多的亮点之一，这支球队在转会到俄克拉荷马城之前取得了20场胜利。作为新秀，杜兰特场均20.3分、4.4个篮板和2.4次助攻。

The game-winner you see in this video at Atlanta came early in the season in November, but Durant closed out his rookie campaign by scoring twice in the final 45 seconds as his team rallied from a six-point deficit in the final three minutes to defeat Dallas 99-95 in the Sonics’ final game in Seattle. Durant followed up with a then career-high 42 points in the season finale at Golden State.

这段视频发生在赛季初11月的亚特兰大，杜兰特在球队最后三分钟落后六分的情况下最后 45 秒内连续两次得分拿下了他的这场新秀战役，最终西雅图超音速队99-95击败了达拉斯。杜兰特接着在赛季末对阵勇士时砍下了生涯新高—42分。

Durant finished his rookie season in dominating fashion, setting career highs with 42 points and 13 rebounds to net his first NBA double-double in Seattle’s 126-121 win over the Golden State Warriors. The brilliant display closed out a trying season for Durant and the SuperSonics, as the NBA’s Board of Governors was set to vote that same week to approve the team’s eventual move to Oklahoma City.

杜兰特以统治级的表现结束了他的新秀赛季，在西雅图主场作战以 126-121 战胜金州勇士队的比赛中以 42 分和 13 个篮板创下职业生涯新高，这是他的第一个 NBA 两双。精彩的表演为杜兰特和超音速队艰难的赛季画下了句号，NBA 理事会将在同一周投票批准球队最终搬到俄克拉荷马城。

Just 10 days before that performance, Durant scored a season-high 37 points in a win over Denver.

在那场伟大表演的十天前，杜兰特对阵丹佛掘金时砍下37分并带走胜利。

“Coming into this league, you can’t come in and dominate straightaway,” Durant said after the season finale. “So I had to go through some learning curves, and my coaches and teammates helped me out a lot, and toward the end of the season I think I got better and learned how to play the game a little bit more.”

“进入这个联盟，你不能一来打出统治级表现，”杜兰特在赛季结束后说。 “所以我必须经历一些学习过程中的起伏，我的教练和队友帮助了我很多，在赛季结束时，我认为我变得更好，并且学会了如何更好的打比赛。”

Durant’s confidence continued to grow over his first three seasons, and his scoring average reflected as much, increasing from 20.3 points as a rookie to 25.3 in Year 2, before swelling to 30.1 in Year 3. It was in that third season that Durant nabbed his first scoring title as well as his first postseason appearance.

杜兰特的信心在他的前三个赛季持续增长，他的场均得分也反映了这一点，从新秀时的 20.3 分增加到第 2 年的 25.3 分，然后在第 3 年膨胀到 30.1 分。正是在第三个赛季，杜兰特获得了他的第一个得分王以及他的第一次季后赛之旅。

Durant edged LeBron James in scoring by 0.4 points per game to take the scoring crown, becoming the youngest player in NBA history (21 years, 197 days old) to achieve that milestone. He scored 30 points or more in 46 contests.

杜兰特以场均得分领先勒布朗·詹姆斯 0.4 分夺得得分王，成为 NBA 历史上最年轻的得分王（21 岁 197 天）。他在46场比赛中得到30分以上。

That marked the first of three consecutive scoring titles for Durant.

这是杜兰特连续三个得分王中的第一个。

Durant was on full display during the first round of the 2010 playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers took a 2-0 lead in that series, but Durant carried Oklahoma City over the next two games to tie the series at 2-2 going into Game 5.

杜兰特在2010年季后赛对阵洛杉矶湖人队的第一轮比赛中表现得淋漓尽致。湖人队在那个系列赛中以2-0领先，但杜兰特在接下来的两场比赛中带领俄克拉荷马城队夺走胜利，以大比分2-2平挺进了第五场比赛。

“The Lakers gave us a lot of confidence. We lost in six , but I think that we were right there,” Durant said. “If I would’ve made a couple more shots, maybe we would’ve been all right. But I think it did give us some confidence.”

杜兰特说：“与湖人的比赛给了我们很多信心。我们在六场比赛中输了，但我认为我们做得没错。”。“如果我再多投几次球，也许我们会赢下系列赛。但我认为这确实给了我们一些信心。”

Durant’s performance in that series also caught the attention of Kobe Bryant, who scored 32 points in Game 6 as Los Angeles eliminated the Thunder from the postseason with a 95-94 win. Bryant would go on to win his second straight Finals MVP, but Durant had put the basketball world on notice.

杜兰特在那个系列赛中的表现也引起了科比·布莱恩特的注意，他在第六场比赛中得到32分，湖人队以95-94战胜了雷霆队。科比将继续赢得他的第二个总决赛MVP，但杜兰特已经引起了篮球界的注意。

Gratitude clung tightly to every word Kevin Durant uttered when delivering this touching speech after accepting the 2013-14 MVP Award.

凯文·杜兰特在获得2013-14年度MVP奖后发表演讲的每一句话都感人肺腑。

“I had so much help. So many people believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself,” Durant said. “I’ve failed so many times and got back up. I went through the toughest times with my family. But I’m still standing.”

杜兰特说：“我得到了很多帮助。当我不相信自己的时候，有很多人相信我。”。“我失败了很多次，重新站起来。我和家人一起经历了最艰难的时刻。但我仍然坚强面对。”

With point guard Russell Westbrook missing nearly 30 games due to a knee injury, Durant took on the most significant load of his career to that point, finishing with a career-best and NBA-high 32 points per game on 50.3% from the floor to go with a career-high 5.5 assists, 7.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals in leading Oklahoma City to a 59-23 record, good for second in the Western Conference. Durant would take home 119 of 125 first-place votes after winning his fourth scoring crown in five seasons.

由于控球后卫拉塞尔·韦斯特布鲁克因膝伤缺席近30场比赛，杜兰特在这时承担了他职业生涯中最重要的任务，最后他以职业生涯最好战绩和NBA最高场均32分的成绩结束了赛季，场均命中率为50.3%，并以职业生涯最高的5.5次助攻、7.4个篮板和1.3次抢断将俄克拉荷马城队取得59胜23负的纪录，战绩排到西部第二。杜兰特在五个赛季中第四次获得得分王后， 他在125张MVP第一名选票中获得了119张。

With his mother Wanda Durant crying in the audience, Durant directed the most touching portion of his speech to her, highlighting the sacrifices made that allowed the star forward to reach MVP status.

当他的母亲万达·杜兰特在观众席中哭泣时，杜兰特将演讲中最感人的部分献给了她，强调了母亲为他获得 MVP所做出的牺牲。

“We weren’t supposed to be here,” Durant said. “You sacrificed for us. You[‘re] the real MVP.”

“我们本不该在这的。”杜兰特说道。”你为我们牺牲了太多。你才是真正的MVP“

Durant shocked basketball fans by penning a post for “The Players’ Tribune” on July 4, 2016 announcing his decision to leave Oklahoma City after spending the first nine years of his career with that organization.

杜兰特在 2016 年 7 月 4 日在“球员论坛报”写了一篇帖子，宣布他在俄克拉荷马城度过了九年职业生涯之后决定离开俄克拉荷马城，这震惊了篮球迷。

“The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player -- as that has always steered me in the right direction,” Durant wrote. “But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to find a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors.”

杜兰特写道：“我主要是基于我作为球员的成长潜力来做出决定——因为这一直引导我朝着正确的方向前进。” “而我也处于人生的重要节点，找到一个激励我完成男人的成长的机会也同样重要，那就是走出我的舒适区，寻找一个新的城市和社区，这为我提升所能做出的贡献和实现个人成长提供了最大的潜力。考虑到这一点，我决定加入金州勇士队。”

Two years removed from winning the franchise’s fourth title, Golden State added a valuable contributor in Durant, who would help the Warriors run off two more championship seasons.

球队赢得第四个总冠军后的两年间，金州勇士队获得了强援杜兰特，他将帮助勇士队再赢得两个冠军赛季。

In his first year with the Warriors, Durant averaged 25.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in the regular season as the team finished with the NBA’s best record (67-15). And he would crank up his production when the stakes got higher. In finishing as the top scorer in every game of the 2017 Finals against Cleveland, Durant averaged 35.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.4 assists to earn his first Finals MVP as Golden State bested the Cavaliers 4-1 in the series.

杜兰特在勇士队的第一个赛季常规赛场均得到25.1分，8.3个篮板和4.8次助攻。球队获得了NBA当赛季最好战绩（67胜-15负）。当球权增多时，他的数据也相应升高。作为 2017 年总决赛对阵克利夫兰的每场比赛的得分王，杜兰特场均得到 35.2 分、8.0 个篮板和 5.4 次助攻，从而赢得了他的第一个总决赛 MVP，金州勇士队在系列赛中以 4-1 击败骑士队。

The Warriors repeated as champions in 2018 with Durant posting his first postseas on triple-double in Game 4 to lead the team’s sweep of the Cavaliers. He averaged 28.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.3 blocks in that series to win his second consecutive Finals MVP trophy. Durant became just the 11th player to win Finals MVP twice.

随着杜兰特在总决赛G4砍下三双并带队横扫骑士队后，勇士队在2018年卫冕了冠军宝座。他系列赛场均得到28.8分，10.8个篮板，7.5次助攻和2.3次封盖并赢得了他连续第二座FMVP奖杯。杜兰特成为了历史第十一位两度获得FMVP的球员

Recovering from the torn Achilles suffered in the 2019 NBA Finals, Durant sat out the 2019-20 season only to return in 2020-21 in a new uniform and nearly back to full form.  When Durant’s storied career finally comes to a close, many might point to Game 5 of the 2021 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Milwaukee Bucks as arguably the greatest game he’s ever played.

从2019年NBA总决赛中受伤的跟腱伤势中恢复过来的杜兰特在2019-20赛季缺席了比赛，但在2020-21赛季，他换上了新制服，几乎满血回归。当Durant的传奇生涯最终结束时，许多人可能会提到2021场东部半决赛的5场对阵密尔沃基雄鹿的比赛，这是他所打过的最伟大的比赛。

With Kyrie Irving out and James Harden fighting through a hamstring injury, Durant churned out a legendary performance to help Brooklyn rally from a 17-point deficit to defeat the Bucks 114-108 and take a 3-2 lead in the series.

随着凯里·欧文报销和詹姆斯·哈登因腿筋受伤退出比赛，杜兰特献出了一场传奇般的表现，帮助布鲁克林队实现17分大逆转，以114-108击败雄鹿队，并在系列赛中以3-2领先。

Durant played in all 48 minutes, posting just his second career postseason triple-double with 49 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists to go with three steals and two blocks. He became just the fourth player in history to put up at least 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a playoff game, joining the likes of Oscar Robertson, Charles Barkley, and Luka Doncic.

杜兰特打满了48分钟，他以49分、17个篮板、10次助攻及3次抢断和2次盖帽实现了职业生涯第二次季后赛三双。他成为历史上第四位在季后赛中至少拿下40分、15个篮板和10次助攻的球员，加入了奥斯卡·罗伯逊、查尔斯·巴克利和卢卡·唐契奇的行列。

Durant’s performance marked the first 45-15-10 game in the NBA playoffs.

杜兰特打出了NBA季后赛首场45+15+10的比赛。

He poured in 20 points in the fourth quarter as the Nets outscored Milwaukee 33-21 down the stretch.

在第四节，篮网队以33-21的比分领先密尔沃基队，他独砍20分。

With 50.5 ticks left, Durant nailed a 3-pointer to put Brooklyn ahead 109-105. He followed that with a steal and knocked down 3-of-4 free throws in the last 15 seconds to seal the victory, as the crowd at Barclay’s Center erupted with “MVP” chants.

比赛还剩50.5s，杜兰特出手三分球，布鲁克林以109-105领先。在最后15秒，他以一次抢断和四罚三中锁定了胜利，巴克莱中心的人群爆发出“MVP”的欢呼声。

Durant hit 16-of-23 from the floor, and 13-of-16 from the free-throw line.

杜兰特全场23投16中，罚球16中13。

“Just historic, historic performance,” Brooklyn coach Steve Nash said. “We know he’s capable of nights like this. But to do it . We lose , James obviously is going through his ailments. We’re down bodies. We’re wounded. For him to have the toughness, that mentality, that’s what makes him one of the all-time greats. That’s a signature performance for Kevin, and it was beautiful to watch.”

”这是一场历史级，历史级的表现，“布鲁克林队教练斯蒂夫·纳什说道。“我们知道他有能力在这样的夜晚打出这种表现，但是现在，我们失去了欧文，詹姆斯（哈登）明显正在忍受伤病。我们有人倒下了，有人受伤了。对他来说，这种坚韧的心态使他成为历史上最伟大的球员之一。这就是凯文的标志性表演，太华丽了。”
