http://goo.gl/czkLMB Jason Terry: Harden & Howard’s Games Don’t Mesh Well One year after advancing to the Western Conference Finals, the Houston Rockets were arguably the most disappointing team in basketball. They went 41-41, barely snuck into the playoffs and were promptly eliminated in five games by the Golden State Warriors. 打進西決過後一年，火箭毫無疑問的是一支最讓人失望的球隊。他們拿下了41-41的成績，勉強打進季後賽，然後被勇士5場迅速解決。 “It was disappointing,” Rockets guard Jason Terry said on CBS Sports Radio’s The Doug Gottlieb Show. “Very disappointing season for me. Obviously when you get into your later years, it’s all about competing at a high level and going for that championship. For me, any year I don’t either get to the Finals or win it all, it’s an utter disappointment. To have that talent we had this year on a team in Houston was very disappointing, man. Very disappointing.” 很失望，對我來說這真的是個很讓人失望的賽季。很明顯，當你職業生涯步入後期，一切就只會關於如何保持高競技狀態及衝擊總冠軍。而對我來說，只要沒打入總決賽或者贏下來，就會徹底失望。今年我們擁有那麼多天賦，真的很失望，老兄，這真的很讓人失望。 The Rockets, of course, are built around James Harden and Dwight Howard, but that combination simply hasn’t worked. Terry, 38, was asked if the relationship between the two superstars is toxic. 當這位38歲的Jet被問到DH跟鬍子之間的關係是否有毒?當然火箭圍繞他們倆建隊，但他們就是沒法一起在場上起作用。 “I wouldn’t call it toxic,” he said, “but when your two superstars – I wouldn’t say they didn’t get along because off the court they were great – but on the court when they don’t mesh, when there’s no rhythm to how they play together where they can co-exist, then it trickles down to the team. Trying to get those guys to get on the same page two years in a row, it’s been tough. It’s not been an easy process. For whatever reason, those two, they didn ’t fit. It was my role to kind of get them to try to fit. For me, it was a work in progress. I thought for a while it would go good, but just any little breakdown we would have, the media would make it like it was those two. That’s what it is. When you have two superstars that demand as much attention as they do, there’s going to be some friction. But at the end of the day, it’s just basketball, man. I don’t think those guys didn’t like each other. I just think their two styles of play vary and the one guy needs it inside and the other guy obviously controls the game from the outside. It didn’t work.” 我不會說他們之間的關係是有毒的，我不會說他們處不來，因為他們場下關係很不錯，但是在場上，他們就是不契合、沒有節奏，而這會感染全隊。要讓這群球員連續兩年保持高水平，這並不簡單，這不是個簡單的過程。不管啥理由，他們倆就是不適合，而我的角色就是幫助他們融合起來，這是一個不斷進行的過程。我覺得當我們有點進展時，但又出現小退步，媒體就會開始怪他們兩個。當你的兩位球星都需要受到那麼多關注，那一定會有一些摩擦的。但這終究是籃球上的事，老兄，我並不認為他們倆互相討厭對方，我覺得這是他們的打球風格的不同，一個在低位打球，另一個在外圍打，就是起不了作用。 Howard averaged 14.0 rebounds against Golden State, but he also averaged just 13.2 points, this after averaging 13.7 points during the regular season – his fewest since his rookie season in 2004-05. Howard has been in the league for more than a decade but often looks lost on offense. 在對勇士時，DH場均14籃板，但得分只有13.2，例行賽得分13.7，這是自他2004-05菜鳥年以來最低。DH已在聯盟超過十個年頭了，但他現在看起來經常在進攻端迷失。 Does he even know who he is as a player? 他知道他自己是個啥樣的球員嗎? “I believe we all know who we are as players,” Terry said. “But again, there has to be a structure put in place where each player can maximize his individual talents in the team concept. I don’t think we had that structure this year for whatever reason.” 我認為我們都很清楚自己是啥樣的球員，但是必須要有個架構來讓每個球員發揮各自的天賦，我不認為今年我們有做到。 Harden, meanwhile, was once again among the league leaders in scoring, but he struggled out of the gate and seemed off all season, shooting just 43.9 percent from the floor. Terry thought that Kevin McHale’s firing was “premature” and wishes the front office had shown more patience following Houston’s 4-7 start, especially after bringing in several new players in the offseason, including Ty Lawson. 鬍子，今年又在一次於得分榜上領先聯盟，但是它看起來整年都打得很掙扎，命中率只有 43.9%。在今年4-7開局後，Jet認為冰箱被開除的太早了，管理層應該要更有耐心，特別是休賽期得到許多新球員，包含Ty。 “(Harden) missed some time in training camp, practice time, that probably was very valuable to his conditioning,” Terry said. “But again, it was an adjustment period. I think early on we tried to take him off the ball, which, he doesn’t play as well when he’s off the ball, and (we) tried to make Ty Lawson a facilitator. James Harden is one of the best facilitators we have in this game. I think he and LeBron are 1 and 2 when you talk about being able to control a basketball game from an offensive standpoint. So when you put him off the ball, it’s an adjustment and it’s something that he hadn’t had to do, even when he was in Oklahoma as a sixth man. When he came in the game, it was his ball and it was his game. That was an adjustment for him early on.” 鬍子缺席了一部分訓練營，訓練時間，那對他調整狀態很重要。但在強調一次，這是個調整期，我認為我們嘗試讓Ty成為組織者，而過早讓鬍子打無球了，他無球打得並不好。鬍子是聯盟中最優秀的組織者之一，若單單從進攻端統治比賽的角度來看，我認為他和LBJ分別為第一跟第二。所以你讓他打無球，即使是在OKC打第六人，他也沒這麼打過，也沒必要這麼打。當他走進場上，球就是會在他手上，這是他的比賽風格，我們太早讓他打無球了。 As for Harden’s defense, Terry said the bearded 26-year-old is “just not there yet.” 關於鬍子防守，Jet表示，26歲的鬍子就是還沒到那個境界。 “He’s just such a dominant offensive player that his defense, it gets overlooked – and it should to an extent,” Terry said. “But when you’re a superstar, everyone’s going to nitpick and find little holes in your game unless you’re winning. Steph Curry is not the best on-ball defensive player out there. But they don’t show it on SportsCenter, him getting blown by. They show him hitting threes from half-court because they’re winning. So as James gets further on in his development and he starts to win more games and more meaningful games, meaningful playoff series, they’ll start to overlook those backdoors. I guarantee that.” 他就是個統治級的進攻球員，他的防守，在一定程度上，是要被忽略掉的。但是當你是一位超級球星時，所有人都會對你的比賽吹毛求疵，找你的小漏洞，除非你一直贏球。Curry他並不是最好的有球防守者，但是他當旋轉門的畫面是不會被放在電視上播的，他們只會放他的logo shot畫面，因為他們一直贏球。所以當鬍子未來不斷進步時，開始贏更多重要的比賽，更多重要的季後系列賽，他們就會開始忽略你的毛病，我保證。 Whether Harden wins any of those meaningful games with Howard remains to be seen. 若DH留下來，那他們是否能有所作為呢，你怎看? “Going forward, if those guys stay together, there’s going to have to be a coach that comes in and puts structure in place,” Terry said. “Yeah, you want to play one way, but if you don’t have the personnel to dictate that style of play, then you have to alter it and mold it towards your players – unless you’ re Gregg Popovich and you can get anybody to do whatever you want to do. I think it starts at the top, and they got to get that thing corrected.” 若他們都留下來的話，那就向前看吧，必須要來個教練並且建立架構到位，你想打球打得一致，但你若沒有對的教練組來發號施令，那你就必須改變，為球員做改變，除非教練是POPO ，那麼所有人都完全聽他的。我認為要從管理層先做起，他們必須把事情修正過來。翻完了訊息很多 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 124.8.76.98 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Rockets/M.1462604900.A.C28.html
