Is it James Harden, or is it Houston as a franchise?

是詹姆斯-哈登，還是休斯頓這個加盟商？

Well, I think right now, right now, it's Houston, and I'm gonna tell you why.

嗯，我想現在，現在，它是休斯敦， 我會告訴你為什麼。

First of all, I got to give love to my man, Vince Goodwill, Vincent Goodwill for Yahoo because that's my little brother right there.

首先，我得把愛送給我的男人，文斯-古德威，雅虎的文森特-古德威，因為那是我的小兄弟，就在那裡。

And he was talking about this story from a beta more than a year ago, a year and a half ago, of course.

而他說的這個故事是一年多前的一個測試版，當然是一年半以前的。

And I also want to give props to James Harden because, listen, you don't have to answer every question if you don't want to.

我還想給詹姆斯-哈登點贊，因為，聽著，如果你不想回答每個問題，你不必回答。

But he showed up there yesterday.

但他昨天出現在那裡。

Hey, was right in front of the media and he just said, Hey, you know what?

嘿，就在媒體面前，他只是說，嘿，你知道嗎？

I'm not gonna get into trade speculation and all of that other stuff.

我不會進入交易投機和其他所有的東西。

He's basically saying, Listen, I'm here until I'm not.

他基本上是說，聽著，我在這裡，直到我不在了。

Here's what I'm gonna tell you.

下面是我要告訴你的。

The Houston Rockets look worse at this particular moment in time with Daryl Morey being gone Well, Mike D'Antoni being gone One could easily surmised that the culture that exists within the Houston Rockets that were all lamenting was primarily their fault because they allowed it to take place and that's really what this comes down to.

休斯敦火箭隊在這個特殊的時刻看起來更糟糕，達里爾-莫雷走了 好吧，邁克-德安東尼走了 人們很容易推測，休斯敦火箭隊內部存在的文化，大家都在感嘆，主要是他們的錯，因為他們允許它發生，這才是真正的原因。

If they were still there, and that's just the way that they do business.

如果他們還在那裡，這只是他們做生意的方式。

Then we can look at James Harden and we could say, Why would you be taking advantage of these perks?

那麼我們可以看看詹姆斯-哈登，我們可以說，你為什麼要利用這些福利？

Why would you be exercising your power in that way?

你為什麼要這樣行使你的權力？

And to some degree, we still could say that.

而在某種程度上，我們還是可以這麼說的。

But the only reason why I say the Rockets primarily instead of James Harden is that if this is the culture that you allowed your superstar, you bring stuff to the table.

但是，為什麼我主要說火箭隊而不是詹姆斯-哈登的唯一原因是，如果這是你允許你的超級明星的文化，你會帶來東西。

We missed the playoffs the first, the previous three years before you arrived.

我們第一次錯過了季後賽，在你來之前的前三年。

We've been in the playoffs ever since we've been championship contenders.

自從我們成為冠軍爭奪者後，我們就一直在季後賽中。

We've been to the conference finals twice, your three times scoring champion, your league M v p.

我們已經進入了兩次大會決賽，你的三次得分冠軍，你的聯賽M v P。

And not only that, minutes played playing through injuries, games played, etcetera.

不僅如此，通過傷病打出的分鐘數，打出的比賽等等。

He's right up there with the best of them, So if you take all of those things into consideration, no one can accuse him for not doing his job.

他是最優秀的人，所以如果你把所有這些事情都考慮進去，沒有人可以指責他沒有做好自己的工作。

And if everybody wants to complain about the culture well, who's responsible for the culture?

如果大家都想抱怨文化好，那誰來為文化負責？

Ultimately, it certainly isn't the player you could make a contribution to it.

最終，這肯定不是你能為它做出貢獻的球員。

It would be good for you to exercise that level of professionalism.

你能鍛煉出這種專業水準就不錯了。

But in the end, the actual onus off the culture is on the franchise itself.

但歸根結底，文化的實際責任脫胎於加盟店本身。

They allowed it and they knew that it could potentially alienate other folks and evidently didn't care enough to reel that in.

他們允許這樣做，他們知道這可能會疏遠其他鄉親，顯然也沒有足夠的關心來挽回這個局面。

And that's why I say, as these stories unfold, even though people want to take their shots and James Harden, ultimately you're going to look at the Houston Rockets, not the present Houston Rockets.

這就是為什麼我說，隨著這些故事的展開，即使人們想拿他們和詹姆斯-哈登開刀，但最終你要看的是休斯頓火箭隊，而不是現在的休斯頓火箭隊。

The previous regime, Maury was there.

以前的政權，毛利在那裡。

Mike D'Antoni was there.

Mike D'Antoni也在那裡。

Hell, they were there before Tillman fatigue got there for crying out loud.

該死的，在蒂爾曼疲勞之前，他們就已經在那裡哭了。

And he is the owner of the franchise right now, so we gotta look at it that way.

而且他現在是特許經營權的所有者，所以我們得這麼看。

Rockets look worse than James Harden right now.

火箭隊現在看起來比詹姆斯-哈登還糟糕。

First of all, this is how business is done in the N.

首先，N國的生意就是這樣做的。

B.

B.

A.

A.

The owners have a monopoly defacto monopoly, and so they have huge leverage in the C B A negotiations, right?

業主擁有壟斷性的事實壟斷權，所以他們在C B A談判中擁有巨大的籌碼，對吧？

They get a lot their way, But the the other side of that is, if you're a superstar, you got a lot of cloud, and you can force the hand of a lot of teams because the fact is, it's almost impossible to win a championship with at least without at least one superstar superstar, not at all.

他們得到了很多他們的方式，但另一方面是，如果你是一個超級巨星，你得到了很多雲，你可以迫使很多球隊的手，因為事實是，它幾乎不可能贏得冠軍至少沒有至少一個超級巨星超級巨星，不是在所有。

Star superstar and hardens a superstar who looks worse right now.

明星巨星，硬生生把一個現在看起來比較差的巨星。

Guys, it's the Rockets because let's not forget Tilman Fertitta.

夥計們，這是火箭隊，因為我們不要忘記蒂爾曼-費蒂塔。

Really?

真的嗎？

And he told us about this on first take and Stephen A.

他告訴我們，這在第一時間和Stephen A。

We discussed it many times.

我們討論了很多次。

Not good enough.

不夠好。

What Maury and D'Antoni we're doing.

毛利和德安東尼我們在做什麼？

We're not good enough.

我們還不夠好。

Wasn't good enough.

還不夠好。

You want to win a championship?

你想贏得冠軍？

And so Dantonio was a lame duck coach.

所以丹東尼奧是一個跛腳鴨教練。

What's he gonna really do is a lame duck coach.

他真正要做的是一個跛腳鴨教練。

Let's see your performer else.

讓我們看看你的表演者其他。

What?

什麼？

Tilman Fertitta, I don't think, understood.

蒂爾曼-費蒂塔，我想，他不明白。

I think what most people still don't understand the Rocket should have never been as close to a championship is.

我想大多數人還不明白的是，火箭本就不該離冠軍那麼近，是。

They were.

他們是。

That was because of Daryl Morey and Mike D'Antoni having the courage of their convictions to play a kind of basketball that would be criticized on Lee, the most efficient shots taken right.

那是因為達里爾-莫雷和邁克-德安東尼有信念的勇氣，打出了一種會被人詬病的籃球，在李的身上打出了最高效的投籃。

Either you get an extra point for them or it's a really high percentage shot.

要不就是給他們加分，要不就是投籃命中率非常高。

That's the way they were gonna play.

這就是他們要玩的方式。

They be criticized.

他們被責備。

They're not playing defense enough.

他們的防守不夠好。

They need to move the balm or, um or, you know, mid range shots.

他們需要移動香膏或，嗯或，你知道，中距離投籃。

All this kind of stuff.

所有這些東西。

Meantime, because of the way they played.

同時，因為他們的打法。

They took a Warriors team fully loaded with K D and Steph and Clay and Dre and everybody.

他們帶著一支滿載著K D、斯蒂芬、克萊、德雷和所有人的勇士隊。

Seven games.

七場比賽。

And they had a home game against that team, right?

而且他們有一個主場對陣那支球隊，對嗎？

You could say, Well, really, who else was in the West?

你可以說，嗯，真的，西域還有誰？

How about the calves in the East?

東方的小牛怎麼樣？

Because the Cavs got swept has got swept.

因為騎士隊被橫掃已經被橫掃了。

LeBron and Kevin Love got swept against that Golden State Warriors team that was almost beaten by the Rockets.

勒布朗和凱文-樂福在與金州勇士隊的比賽中被橫掃，差點被火箭隊擊敗。

Right?

對吧？

So, Fertitta, that's not good enough.

所以，費蒂塔，這還不夠好。

Daryl Morey is gone.

達里爾-莫里走了

D'Antoni's gone.

D'Antoni走了

Now all hell breaks loose.

現在，所有的地獄都鬆動了。

This is what happens.

這就是發生的事情。

You got rid of people.

你擺脫了人。

You thought you'd replace them with better people.

你以為你會用更好的人代替他們。

It's not trending in that direction.

它並沒有朝這個方向發展的趨勢。

Who looks worse right now and now you're superstar wants out, and this is what's become of it.

現在誰看起來更糟糕，現在你的超級明星想要退出，這就是它的結果。

Clearly hardens like Look, I'm not cooperating with you.

明顯的硬是像看，我不和你合作。

You've got to make this move and the Rockets are saying No, we're not gonna make it right now.

你必須要做這個動作，而火箭隊卻說不，我們現在不會做。

Is this all in the service of winning a championship because that's why you get rid of Maury.

這都是為了奪冠服務的，因為這就是你擺脫毛利的原因。

And D'Antoni seems to be backfiring.

而德安東尼似乎在反其道而行之。

Harden is gonna wind up in a position where he'll have a chance to win a championship.

哈登會有機會贏得總冠軍的。

The Rockets will not.

火箭隊不會。

Well, I have tow respectfully disagree with the both of you.

好吧，我不得不拖尊敬地不同意你們兩個。

And here's why.

這就是為什麼。

Right now to me, the Rockets, in my opinion, are moving in the right direction.

現在在我看來，火箭隊的發展方向是正確的。

They just hired the young stud and Stephen Silence, who is well respected around the league, not by just front offices, are other coaches, but by current players, former players.

他們剛剛聘請了年輕的種馬和斯蒂芬-席爾瓦，他在聯盟中很受尊重，不僅僅是前臺，是其他教練，而是現任球員，前球員。

They have nothing but high praise for him and says that how he's a student of the game, our offensive genius, and it's about time that he got his opportunity.

他們對他的評價很高，說他是如何的學生，我們的進攻天才，是時候讓他得到機會了。

So I think the Rockets did a great job by high Stephen Silence.

所以我認為火箭隊做得很好，高斯蒂芬-席爾瓦。

Second of all, with them trading Russell Westbrook, who didn't wanna be there because off the lack of accountability that they would show that they were having in the Rockets organization, especially when it came down to James Harden and all the other players and all the other rooms that are coming out about James Harden not taking winning seriously.

其次，與他們交易拉塞爾-威斯布魯克，誰也不想在那裡，因為關閉的責任感，他們會顯示，他們在火箭隊的組織，特別是當它歸結為詹姆斯-哈登和所有其他球員和所有其他房間出來的詹姆斯-哈登不認真對待勝利。

Uh, you know, not wanting, adjusting, uh, giving up the club life.

呃，你知道，不希望，調整，呃，放棄俱樂部的生活。

Right now, James Harden looks the worst.

現在，詹姆斯-哈登看起來最糟糕。

And here's why you don't show up.

這就是你為什麼不出現的原因。

Yeah, you.

是的，你。

Then when you do show up to camp, you show up to calculate, and then when you do show up, you show up out of shape.

然後當你真的出現在營地的時候，你就會出現計算，然後當你出現的時候，你就會出現失態。

And this is what I was trying to tell you and Max Stephen A.

這就是我想告訴你和Max Stephen A的。

When I was trying to have virtual school about a couple of shows ago, and I told you that James Harden has to go out on the court and perform at the VP type level because guess what?

當我在幾期節目前想辦虛擬學校的時候，我告訴你，詹姆斯-哈登必須在球場上表現出VP類型的水準，因為你猜怎麼著？

Guess what?

你猜怎麼著？

The rumors of circling now around the front offices, off organizations and what GM we're talking about that probably had interest in acquiring James Harden.

現在圍繞著前臺的傳聞，關組織和我們說的什麼總經理，可能有興趣收購詹姆斯-哈登。

They're saying, Should I give up?

他們說，我應該放棄嗎？

Ah, young star and my assets for James Harden, who might come in and tear down the culture who might complain because he might not get think it or might just shut down because things might not go his way or might be a bad example on the younger guys that's already here, we don't want that.

啊，年輕的明星和我的資產的詹姆斯-哈登，誰可能進來，撕毀文化誰可能會抱怨，因為他可能沒有得到認為它或可能只是關閉，因為事情可能不按他的方式或可能是一個壞的例子在年輕的傢伙，已經在這裡，我們不希望這樣。

So with that being said, it's on James Harden E.

所以說，在詹姆斯-哈登E。
