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. 打进西决过後一年，火箭毫无疑问的是一支最让人失望的球队。他们拿下了41-41的成绩， 勉强打进季後赛，然後被勇士5场迅速解决。 “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，对我来说这真的是个很让人失望的赛季。很明显，当你职业生涯步入後期，一切就 只会关於如何保持高竞技状态及冲击总冠军。而对我来说，只要没打入总决赛或者赢下来， 就会彻底失望。今年我们拥有那麽多天赋，真的很失望，老兄，这真的很让人失望。 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. 当这位38岁的Jet被问到DH跟胡子之间的关系是否有毒?当然火箭围绕他们俩建队，但他们就 是没法一起在场上起作用。 “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.” 我不会说他们之间的关系是有毒的，我不会说他们处不来，因为他们场下关系很不错，但是 在场上，他们就是不契合、没有节奏，而这会感染全队。要让这群球员连续两年保持高水平 ，这并不简单，这不是个简单的过程。不管啥理由，他们俩就是不适合，而我的角色就是帮 助他们融合起来，这是一个不断进行的过程。我觉得当我们有点进展时，但又出现小退步， 媒体就会开始怪他们两个。当你的两位球星都需要受到那麽多关注，那一定会有一些摩擦的 。但这终究是篮球上的事，老兄，我并不认为他们俩互相讨厌对方，我觉得这是他们的打球 风格的不同，一个在低位打球，另一个在外围打，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. 在对勇士时，DH场均14篮板，但得分只有13.2，例行赛得分13.7，这是自他2004-05菜鸟年 以来最低。DH已在联盟超过十个年头了，但他现在看起来经常在进攻端迷失。 Does he even know who he is as a player? 他知道他自己是个啥样的球员吗? “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.” 我认为我们都很清楚自己是啥样的球员，但是必须要有个架构来让每个球员发挥各自的天赋 ，我不认为今年我们有做到。 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. 胡子，今年又在一次於得分榜上领先联盟，但是它看起来整年都打得很挣扎，命中率只有 43.9%。在今年4-7开局後，Jet认为冰箱被开除的太早了，管理层应该要更有耐心，特别是 休赛期得到许多新球员，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.” 胡子缺席了一部分训练营，训练时间，那对他调整状态很重要。但在强调一次，这是个调整 期，我认为我们尝试让Ty成为组织者，而过早让胡子打无球了，他无球打得并不好。胡子是 联盟中最优秀的组织者之一，若单单从进攻端统治比赛的角度来看，我认为他和LBJ分别为 第一跟第二。所以你让他打无球，即使是在OKC打第六人，他也没这麽打过，也没必要这麽 打。当他走进场上，球就是会在他手上，这是他的比赛风格，我们太早让他打无球了。 As for Harden’s defense, Terry said the bearded 26-year-old is “just not there yet.” 关於胡子防守，Jet表示，26岁的胡子就是还没到那个境界。 “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.” 他就是个统治级的进攻球员，他的防守，在一定程度上，是要被忽略掉的。但是当你是一位 超级球星时，所有人都会对你的比赛吹毛求疵，找你的小漏洞，除非你一直赢球。Curry他 并不是最好的有球防守者，但是他当旋转门的画面是不会被放在电视上播的，他们只会放他 的logo shot画面，因为他们一直赢球。所以当胡子未来不断进步时，开始赢更多重要的比 赛，更多重要的季後系列赛，他们就会开始忽略你的毛病，我保证。 Whether Harden wins any of those meaningful games with Howard remains to be seen. 若DH留下来，那他们是否能有所作为呢，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.” 若他们都留下来的话，那就向前看吧，必须要来个教练并且建立架构到位，你想打球打得一 致，但你若没有对的教练组来发号施令，那你就必须改变，为球员做改变，除非教练是POPO ，那麽所有人都完全听他的。我认为要从管理层先做起，他们必须把事情修正过来。 翻完了 讯息很多 --
