Ah, league source told us if he continues to test negative, he could be cleared as early as Monday.

Let's now bring in R N B A reporter Tim MacMahon for more on this Tim Where does James Harden's relationship with new Rockets head coach Stephen Silas stand?

現在讓我們請來R N B A記者蒂姆-麥克馬洪，瞭解更多關於這個蒂姆 詹姆斯-哈登與火箭隊新任主教練斯蒂芬-西拉斯的關係如何？

Well, It took a step in the right direction on Wednesday.

好吧，它在週三向正確的方向邁出了一步。

That's the first time that there was any communication between the two, uh, in a little while.

那是兩人之間第一次有任何的交流，呃，有一段時間了。

And Stephen Silas sum that up in five words.

而Stephen Silas用五個字來概括。

I said hello to him.

我跟他打了招呼。

So obviously you know they're the relationship is to be built.

所以很明顯你知道他們的關係是要建立的。

If you're being optimistic, it's been non existent, really, to this point, the one silver lining here for the Rockets is that Stephen Silas, you know, a rookie head coach, has really earned a lot of respect throughout the organization, from ownership to the locker room with the even keeled way that he's handled the situation and the way that he's approached his job with the guys who have reported the campus to mark, his cousin said.

如果你是樂觀的，它是不存在的，真的，到目前為止，火箭隊在這裡的一線希望是，斯蒂芬-西拉斯，你知道，一個新秀主教練，真的贏得了整個組織的尊重，從所有權到更衣室，他處理這種情況的均勻方式，以及他對待他的工作的方式，他的表弟說，他已經報告了校園標記的人。

He's a guy who coaches with the best intentions.

他是一個用心執教的人。

No personal vendettas, no personal agendas.

沒有個人恩怨，沒有個人議程。

He's more than willing to meet James Harden halfway, even a little more than halfway once James Harden actually gets into the gym with Rockets, which could be Monday at the earliest.

他更願意和詹姆斯-哈登半斤八兩，甚至是半斤八兩，一旦詹姆斯-哈登真正進入火箭隊的訓練館，最快可能是週一。

Gotcha.

抓到你了

Yes, and he will not be in tomorrow's first pre season game as they go to play the Bulls, but meanwhile, staying in Texas Chris Top score.

是的，他不會參加明天的第一場季前賽，因為他們要去打公牛隊，但與此同時，留在德州的克里斯頂分。

What more can you tell us about his timeline to return?

關於他迴歸的時間表，你還能告訴我們什麼？

Yeah, and at the time the Mavericks are optimistic he'll be back for the start of the season.

是的，當時小牛隊很樂觀，他將在賽季開始時回來。

Of course, they thought the start of the season was going to be in the latter half of January at the earliest, so that's still looks like maybe the earliest that Porzingis could get back on the court.

當然，他們認為本賽季的開始時間最早也要在1月下旬，所以這看起來還是波爾津吉斯最早可能回到球場的時間。

He's doing some stand still shooting now, some straight ahead running.

他現在在做一些站立拍攝，一些直行跑。

They plan to really ramp up his basketball activity at the beginning of January.

他們計劃在1月初真正加大他的籃球活動。

That's when you'll start cutting.

這時候你就會開始切。

He'll start jumping, you know, hopefully progress pretty quickly to practice, but obviously they will air on the side of caution.

他將開始跳躍，你知道，希望進步相當快的做法，但顯然他們會在空氣中的一側謹慎。

But the hope is that he will just miss, you know, something like 2 to 3 weeks of game action to start the season and then get back in the maverick starting lineup.

但希望他只是缺席，你知道的，大約2到3周的比賽開始，然後回到獨行俠的首發陣容中。

All right, because the Mavs they're so much more fun to watch when they have him and Luca together on the floor.

好吧，因為小牛隊... ...當他和Luca一起在場上的時候，他們會更有趣。

Let's continue to whip around the N b A.

讓我們繼續鞭策N b A。

Doc Rivers.

裡弗斯醫生

His era underway in Philly with the Sixers, everyone hoping and thinking, perhaps Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.

他的時代在費城六人隊進行，大家都希望和認為，也許是喬爾-恩比德和本-西蒙斯。

That duo can finally mesh into a championship duo.

Doc Rivers assesses what he has in front of him in Philadelphia.

多克-裡弗斯評估了他在費城面前的情況。

How we look, you know, Aziz, someone said, we look great against us, You know what I mean?

我們的樣子，你知道嗎，阿齊茲，有人說，我們和我們比起來很好看，你知道我的意思嗎？

You really never know.

你真的永遠不知道。

I think overall, our guys are getting a new system and so I'm gonna be patient with.

我覺得總體來說，我們的隊員都在接受新的系統，所以我會耐心的配合。

But overall, I like how we're moving.

但總的來說，我喜歡我們的行動。

I like how everybody kind of accepting their responsibility, But we're really trying to get them to see who we think we should be.

我喜歡每個人都接受自己的責任， 但我們真的想讓他們看到我們認為我們應該是誰。

A za group, our identity, our our style of play, our style of play defensively, our mindset.

阿扎組，我們的身份，我們的我們的打法，我們的防守風格，我們的心態。

So in some ways I do think chemistry, uh, team togetherness, continuity.

所以在某些方面，我確實認為化學反應，呃，團隊的團結，連續性。

I think that will play just like it did in the bubble.

我想，這將會像在保麗龍中一樣發揮。

I think that will play a major factor in these early games as well.

我認為這也將在這些早期的比賽中發揮重要作用。

Alright, so notable decline and then efficiency when Simmons and Embiid sharing the court.

好吧，所以當西蒙斯和恩比德分享球場時，明顯的下降，然後效率。

Probably not the process the Sixes were hoping for, but some shooters to space the floor for Simmons and Embiid could solve that problem.

可能不是六人組希望的過程，但一些射手為西蒙斯和恩比德騰出空間可以解決這個問題。

Maybe they're Maury thinking the same thing, adding Seth Curry and Danny Grain this offseason, both 40% shooters from three for their careers.

也許他們毛利也是這麼想的，這個休賽期增加了塞斯-庫裡和丹尼-格林，他們的職業生涯都是40%的三分射手。
