The delicate relationship between Houston Rockets stars James Harden and Chris
Paul has been termed “unsalvageable” and the star players want a divorce, l
eague sources told Yahoo Sports.
聯盟消息人士告訴雅虎體育，休斯頓火箭隊球星James Harden和Chris Paul之間微妙的關
係被稱為“無法挽回”，兩位明星球員希望離開對方。
Paul went to Rockets management and demanded a trade, and Harden issued a “hi
m or me” edict following the Rockets’ second-round loss to the Golden StateW
arriors, sources said.
消息人士稱，Chris Paul前往火箭隊管理並要求進行交易，而James Harden在火箭隊第二
輪輸給金州勇士隊後，表達了“他或我”的聲明。
The backcourt mates went nearly two months without speaking to each other duri
ng the season, sources said, creating a tenuous environment for teammates and
everyone involved with the franchise.
消息人士表示，這兩位後場球員在賽季期間沒有互相交談已經將近兩個月，為隊友和參與
球隊的每個人創造了一個脆弱的環境。
Harden hasn’t returned Paul’s repeated attempts at communicating this offsea
son, sources said, after a year in which the pair repeatedly got under each ot
her’s skin with petty acts in practices and games.
據消息人士透露，在這個休賽季Harden並沒有嘗試與Paul進行溝通，而在一年的相處之中
，他們在練習和比賽中一再表達出對另一方的不滿。
Paul has been known to clash with teammates during his career, most notably wi
th the Los Angeles Clippers before being traded to Houston in the summer of 20
17. Up until this season, his production ranked among the best at his position
in NBA history, but he’s had to curtail his style while acclimating to Harde
n’s pace.
Paul在職業生涯中就常與隊友發生衝突，尤其是在2017年夏天被交易到休斯頓之前的洛杉
磯快艇隊。直到本賽季，他達到他NBA季賽上最高的成就，但是他在適應Harden的節奏的
同時，他不得不縮減自己的風格。
“There’s no respect at all, on either side,” a source told Yahoo Sports. “
They need to get away from one another. Chris doesn’t respect James’ standi
ng in the league, and James doesn’t respect the work Chris has put in to this
point.”
“任何一方都沒有尊重另外一邊。”一位消息人士告訴雅虎體育“他們需要彼此遠離。Ch
ris不尊重James在聯盟中的地位，James不尊重Chris做出的工作所花費的心力。“
Paul’s injury-related absences and grating personality have annoyed Harden, s
ources said.
消息人士稱，Chris受傷所導致的季賽缺席和咄咄逼人的個性使Harden感到惱火。
If not for Paul’s hamstring injury in the 2018 Western Conference finals, the
Rockets might have dethroned the then-champion Golden State Warriors instead
of losing in seven games. Paul then signed a four-year, $160 million deal that
owner Tillman Fertitta has complained about ever since, sources said, and Pau
l’s subsequent injury-riddled season — he played 58 regular-season games for
the second consecutive year — created even more frustration.
如果不是因為2018年西部決賽中Chris Paul的腿筋受傷，火箭隊可能已經取代當時的冠軍
金州勇士隊，而不是在七場比賽中失利。Chris Paul隨後簽署了一項為期四年價值1.6億
美元的合約，而火箭隊老闆Tillman Fertitta也曾抱怨過這一點。消息人士稱，Chris Pa
ul隨後受傷的賽季 - 他第二年只打了58場常規賽 - 引起了更多的挫敗感。
Paul’s production also has fallen off as he shot a career-low 41.9 percent fr
om the field and 35.8 percent from 3-point range, his lowest mark since 2012-1
3.
Paul的賽場表現也有所下降，他的投籃命中率為41.9％，三分命中率為35.8％，這是他自
2012-13賽季以來的最低成績。
Harden’s ball-dominant style and unwillingness to give others like Paul space
to operate have grated on Paul, leading to the nine-time All-Star issuing his
trade demand to Rockets general manager Daryl Morey after the season.
Harden以持球為主導的風格，以及不願意讓其他給Paul操作空間讓Paul非常難受，這導致
這名九屆全明星球員在賽季結束後，向火箭隊總經理Daryl Morey發出了他的交易需求。
Sources said Paul would curse at head coach Mike D’Antoni about the offense b
ogging down after Harden would ask to come into the game to join the second un
it, with Paul heading to the bench.
消息人士稱，Paul會咒罵主教練Mike D’Antoni因進攻受到限制時，Chris Paul需要坐在
板凳上看Harden率領第二陣容。
“It can’t be fixed,” another league source told Yahoo Sports about the Hard
en-Paul partnership.
“它覆水難收了，”另一位聯盟消息人士告訴雅虎體育關於Harden與Paul的合作關係。
The situation is indeed bad, a source said, and the players are frustrated wit
h the system and surprised that D'Antoni trusts Harden so much that he allows
such leeway on the court.
一名消息人士表示，情況確實很糟糕，球員們對這個系統感到沮喪，並且驚訝於D'Antoni
如此信任Harden，以至於他在球場上有這樣的自主空間。
Morey has been shopping Paul and others in an attempt to revamp the roster, bu
t Paul’s contract, which calls for him to earn $38.5 million, $41.3 million a
nd $44.2 million the next three seasons, is hard for other teams to swallow.
Morey 一直在嘗試兜售Chris Paul和其他人已試圖改造球隊陣容，但Chris Paul的合約讓
他能在接下來的三個賽季能領到3850萬美元，4130萬美元和4420萬美元，這對其他球隊來
說很難吞下。
The Rockets have been at the center of controversy the past several weeks, fro
m Fertitta’s contract standoff with D’Antoni, to coaching staff turnover, to
accusations of him demanding the team get under the luxury-tax threshold desp
ite pursuing a championship.
過去幾週，火箭隊一直處於爭議的中心，從Fertitta與D'Antoni的合約對峙，到教練組的
失誤，到指責他要求球隊在追求冠軍的情況下同時不要進入奢侈稅門檻。
With the Warriors’ present and future in doubt because of injuries to free ag
ents Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, it would seem like the perfect opportunit
y for the Rockets to move forward, but Paul has made it known he’d like to pl
ay elsewhere.
勇士的現在和未來由於自由球員Kevin Durant與Klay Thompson相繼受傷而受到質疑，這
似乎是火箭隊前進的絕佳機會，但Chris Paul已經知道他更適合在其他地方打球。
