But he told me that the love and appreciation that he's given to the city and that he still gives to the city he says he's hoping that favor can be returned is what he told me.

但他告訴我，他對這座城市的愛和感激，他仍然對這座城市的付出，他說希望人情能得到回報，這是他告訴我的。

He's hoping that people remember the good times that they had in Houston.

他希望人們能記住他們在休斯頓的美好時光。

Obviously, their breakup is probably still fresh in a lot of fans minds.

顯然，他們的分手可能很多粉絲還記憶猶新。

He's not running away from that.

他不會逃避的。

In our conversation, he noted how challenging that was.

在我們的談話中，他指出這是多麼具有挑戰性。

He reiterated what he had shared with Rachel Nichols, which was that he wished things had gone more smoothly.

他重申了他與瑞秋-尼科爾斯的共同點，那就是他希望事情能夠更加順利。

Now when he's looking around and how it went for other, uh, players in other sports in their exits in Houston, he said that he wished his had gone a little bit more like that.

現在，當他環顧四周，以及其他，呃，其他運動項目的球員在休斯敦的出場情況時，他說，他希望自己的出場情況能更像一點。

But despite all of that, he's hoping that instead of looking at those last couple of months, which were ugly and he does not deny that.

但儘管如此，他還是希望，而不是看過去那幾個月，那幾個月很醜陋，他不否認這一點。

And I think that, uh, fans are are very justified in remembering that he's hoping that they can look back over the course of the eight Seasons over the course of of winning M v p and making a run to the Western Conference finals.

我認為，呃，球迷們是非常有道理的，他希望他們可以回顧在八個賽季的過程中，在贏得M v P的過程中，並使運行到西部聯盟總決賽。

And that's what fans will be bringing.

而這也是粉絲們會帶來的。

Um, but it should be interesting, right?

嗯，但它應該是有趣的，對不對？

Because Houston has 4500 fans in Toyota Center.

因為休斯頓的豐田中心有4500名球迷。

That's not something we see very often this season in the midst of a pandemic.

這在本賽季的流行病中，我們並不經常看到。

So it'll be interesting to see the fans reaction mask up.

Houston, this one is going to be interesting to.

休斯敦，這個將是有趣的。

What was the reaction around the team when they heard that Tilman Fertitta actually made the announcement to a degree that they were going to retire James Harden's number?

當他們聽說蒂爾曼-費蒂塔居然在一定程度上宣佈要退役詹姆斯-哈登的號碼時，球隊周圍的反應是什麼？

Well, in chatting with a couple of folks around the team, I think that there was a well, yeah, that's what should happen.

好吧，在和隊裡的幾個人哈拉的時候，我覺得有一個好，是的，這就是應該發生的事情。

Eventually, When I reached out to sources in the Rockets and and they confirmed that it was a thought of, he did a lot for this this franchise.

最終，當我聯繫到火箭隊的消息人士，他們確認這是一個思路，他為這個這個加盟做了很多事情。

Tilman Fertitta said that he will always be a rocket, and he made his first couple of years owning the team exciting.

蒂爾曼-費爾蒂塔說，他永遠是火箭的一員，他讓自己擁有球隊的頭幾年變得很興奮。

And so I don't get the sense that a lot of folks around the Net or around the Houston Rockets were necessarily surprised.

所以我並沒有感覺到網友或者休斯敦火箭隊周圍的很多人一定會感到驚訝。

Perhaps there was a little bit of an eyebrow raised at the timing of sharing that sentiment, given the air hasn't been completely cleared, Um, I think this game is going to provide potentially some of that closure.

也許在分享這種情緒的時機上有點眉目，鑑於空氣還沒有完全清空，嗯，我認為這個遊戲將提供潛在的一些封閉。

But it wasn't necessarily surprising, given why a lot of people in this day and age retired jerseys isn't necessarily just how many championships they won, uh, for a franchise.

但這並不一定令人驚訝，因為為什麼很多人在這個時代退役的球衣不一定只是他們贏得了多少冠軍，呃，為一個專營店。

It's what that person meant to that city, how much they may or may not have put that person that that team that franchise on the map.

這就是那個人對那個城市的意義，他們可能會或可能不會把那個人那個球隊那個特許經營權放在地圖上。

There wasn't a whole lot of surprise.

並沒有太多的驚喜。

Now I will say, just taking a look around, uh, mentions on Twitter, taking a look around, you know, the hotel lobby when I very briefly went downstairs to grab my dinner and bring it back up to my hotel room.

現在我要說的是，只是看了看周圍，呃，在推特上提到的，看了看周圍，你知道，酒店大堂，當我非常簡短地下樓去拿我的晚餐，並把它帶回我的酒店房間。

That's where I saw fans having a little bit more of a mixed reaction to announcing In this moment the intention is to retire his jersey number.

這也是我看到球迷們反應比較複雜的地方，宣佈 在這一刻，打算退役他的球衣號碼。

Okay, I mean, they look pretty incredible when Kyrie and James have been on the floor together.

好吧，我是說，當凱里和詹姆斯一起上場的時候，他們看起來非常不可思議。

But what's the latest with the big man?

但是，大佬的最新情況如何？

What's going on with K D and this hamstring injury?

K D和這次腿筋受傷是怎麼回事？

When can we expect to see him back?

我們什麼時候能看到他回來？

Well, that's that's are hopeful that it's going to be as soon as possible.

好吧，那是那是那是希望它將會是儘快。

After All, Star.

畢竟，星。

The tricky thing with this is that you know this as well as I do.

這個問題的棘手之處在於，你和我一樣清楚。

Initially, they just expected him to miss two, maybe three games.

最初，他們只是預計他將缺席兩場，也許三場比賽。

But initially they said just two games and Steve Nash has said that this is a combination of them being overly cautious, but also the hamstring.

但最初他們說只打兩場比賽，史蒂夫-納什也說過，這是他們過於謹慎的綜合因素，也是腿筋的問題。

When they did more imaging on it, showing that it needed a little bit more time and so they're marrying those two things and taking an extremely slow approach here because of the luxury, as you just said, they already have Kyrie Irving.

當他們在上面做了更多的成像，顯示它需要更多的時間，所以他們正在將這兩件事結合起來，並在這裡採取極其緩慢的方法，因為豪華，正如你剛才所說的那樣，他們已經有了凱里歐文。

They already have James Harden.

他們已經有了詹姆斯-哈登。

They rattled off an eight game win streak in that time, and so there really isn't a rush to bring Kevin Durant back.

他們在那段時間裡打出了一波八連勝，所以真的不急於讓凱文-杜蘭特回來。

That being said, James Harden told me, it's frustrating for Kevin Durant not to be on the floor.

也就是說，詹姆斯-哈登告訴我，凱文-杜蘭特不在場上是很沮喪的。

It's frustrating for the team not to have Kevin Durant on the floor.

凱文-杜蘭特不在場上，這讓球隊很沮喪。

That being said, what they're keeping in mind, their mantra, if you will, is the most important.

也就是說，他們所牢記的，他們的口頭禪，才是最重要的。

Basketball is yet to come, and that's when we need to be fully healthy.

籃球還沒有到來，這時我們需要充分的健康。

So the goal is they want to have some time under their belts before then, before the playoffs hit to rack up more than just seven games played together so they can continue to build chemistry.

所以，他們的目標是希望在那之前，在季後賽打響之前，有一些時間來積累，而不僅僅是一起打了7場比賽，這樣他們就可以繼續建立化學反應。

But it shouldn't be too long after the All Star break for Kevin Durant to come back.

不過全明星休賽期結束後，凱文-杜蘭特應該不會太久就會回來。

Malika.

What moves do you expect the Nets to make before the trade deadline, if any at all?

I'm really looking at potentially the buyout market for the Nets, the teams at the top, they tend to always kind of be looking.

德安德魯-喬丹已經變成了一個非常好的導師，對於很多人來說，尼古拉斯-克拉森已經被經常使用，但他們仍然試圖小心他的身體。

He has only played a handful of games his freshman season and now this season, and so they're still looking to see how that's all going to round out.

他大一賽季和現在這個賽季只打了幾場比賽，所以他們還在看這一切如何圓滿。

That's what I would be keeping an eye on the moves that they could potentially make, especially in the buyout market, as you continue to do a great job covering the NBA, not only for us, but for yourself.

這就是我會關注他們可能做出的舉動，尤其是在買斷市場上，你繼續做好NBA的報道，不僅是為了我們，也是為了你自己。
