台北時間12月17日，火箭球星Dwight Howard接受了《今日美國》記者Sam Amick的採訪，
他談到了關於自己在火箭不開心的流言。

“我之前選擇來火箭，所以我為什麼會說，‘我不開心，’並且想離開，”Howard說，“
我選擇了這個地方，你知道我的意思吧？我想在這裡有所成功，很明顯，我們還沒有打出
不錯的表現，但是我想的唯一一件事就是作為一個男人成長，作為一名隊友和一名領袖成
長，身邊所有的那些廢話，有時候聽到讓人沮喪，因為我知道作為一個男人自己是誰，我
知道我正在努力為這座城市做什麼。”

"I chose to go to Houston (via free agency in the summer of 2013), so why
would I just say, 'I'm not happy' and leave?" Howard, who is widely expected
to become a free agent again this summer, told USA TODAY Sports. "I chose
this place, you know what I'm saying? And I want to make this thing work
here. Obviously we haven't been playing great basketball, and personally for
myself my numbers don't seem like I've been playing great, but the only thing
on my mind is trying to grow as a man and grow as a teammate and a leader.
All the BS that's around, sometimes it is frustrating to hear it, because I
know who I am as a man and I know what I'm trying to do for this city."

火箭現在的戰績是12勝14負，暫時排在西區第七位。

“人們可以說關於我和Harden任何他們想說的話，但是我來這最重要的原因就是他，因為
我想我們都能成長，成為優秀的球員和隊友，這是靠我們去做到的，我們要為發生的好事
和壞事負責，我是帶著這樣的任務來到球隊的，所以我們倆都可以成長。”Howard說道。

"People can say what they want about me and James and that whole situation,
but I came here and the biggest reason was because of him, because I want
both of us to grow and be great basketball players and be great teammates
together," Howard said. "It's on us to do it. We are the ones who are held
accountable for the good things and the bad things that happen to this team,
and I came here with that mission, so that both of us can grow.

Howard接著說：“作為一名球星，他正在變得更好，我看到了他之前完成的那些事情，我
經歷了他作為一名球員完成的所有的事情，我想幫助他成長，達到更高的高度，所有其他
的事情都是噪音，我討厭聽到這些。”

"He's rising as a star, and I've seen all the things that he's done and I've
been through almost all of the things that he's done as a basketball player.
And I want to help him grow and reach even higher heights. All the other
stuff is just noise. I just hate hearing it."

當Howard被問到自己與Harden現在的狀況時，他說：“我們必須要讓這成功，你知道我的
意思吧？這需要時間，但是我會做一些可以做的事情幫助這成長，去成為無論他需要我成
為的任何人，支持他，所以這就是我的情況。”

“We've got to make it work, you know what I'm saying? And it takes time, but
I'm going to do whatever I can to help it grow and just be whatever he needs
me to be. To be there for him. So that's my mission.

“ （輸球） 讓人沮喪，但是大局就是讓我們贏得總冠軍，我們必須變得更好，這從我跟
他開始，我們必須要相互促進，我們必須相互交流，我們必須一起變好，這就是我在這的
原因，所以這會發生，但是現在，我們打得很失常。”Howard說道。

"(The losing) gets frustrating, but the big picture is us winning a
championship, and we have to get better. It starts with me and him. We've got
to push each other. We've got to talk to each other. We've just got to be
better together. This is why I'm here, so it's going to happen. But right
now, we're struggling."

Howard接著說：“我來這，任務就是讓這支球隊成為一支總冠軍球隊，總會有流言，我不
知道在夏天會發生什麼，但是現在，自從我來到這之後，唯一的任務就是幫助這支球隊贏
得總冠軍。”

"I came here, and it's a mission to make this team a championship team,"
Howard said. "There's always going to be rumors (and) I don't know what's
going to happen at the end of the summer, but right now and since I've been
here, the only mission is to help this team win a championship.

“我在火箭的第一個賽季，我們打進了季後賽，我們在第一輪被淘汰，我們在第二個賽季
打進了西區決賽，這很重要，我們也許沒有奪冠，但是我們在一起兩個賽季後，經歷了那
所有的一切後，我們仍然能打進西區決賽，你知道的，天空才是我們的極限，我們必須把
其他的一切放在一旁，所有的這些噪音，專注在贏球上。”Howard說道。

"The first year (in Houston), we made it to the playoffs, went out in the
first round, and the second year of us being together - me and James - we
went to the Western Conference finals. That's big. We may have not won the
championship, but after two years of being together and going through all the
things that we went through as players, we were still able to make it to the
Western Conference finals together. You know, the sky is the limit for us.
We've got to put aside anything all the noise — and just focus on winning.”
