The delicate relationship between Houston Rockets stars James Harden and Chris
Paul has been termed “unsalvageable” and the star players want a divorce, l
eague sources told Yahoo Sports.
联盟消息人士告诉雅虎体育，休斯顿火箭队球星James Harden和Chris Paul之间微妙的关
系被称为“无法挽回”，两位明星球员希望离开对方。
Paul went to Rockets management and demanded a trade, and Harden issued a “hi
m or me” edict following the Rockets’ second-round loss to the Golden StateW
arriors, sources said.
消息人士称，Chris Paul前往火箭队管理并要求进行交易，而James Harden在火箭队第二
轮输给金州勇士队后，表达了“他或我”的声明。
The backcourt mates went nearly two months without speaking to each other duri
ng the season, sources said, creating a tenuous environment for teammates and
everyone involved with the franchise.
消息人士表示，这两位后场球员在赛季期间没有互相交谈已经将近两个月，为队友和参与
球队的每个人创造了一个脆弱的环境。
Harden hasn’t returned Paul’s repeated attempts at communicating this offsea
son, sources said, after a year in which the pair repeatedly got under each ot
her’s skin with petty acts in practices and games.
据消息人士透露，在这个休赛季Harden并没有尝试与Paul进行沟通，而在一年的相处之中
，他们在练习和比赛中一再表达出对另一方的不满。
Paul has been known to clash with teammates during his career, most notably wi
th the Los Angeles Clippers before being traded to Houston in the summer of 20
17. Up until this season, his production ranked among the best at his position
in NBA history, but he’s had to curtail his style while acclimating to Harde
n’s pace.
Paul在职业生涯中就常与队友发生冲突，尤其是在2017年夏天被交易到休斯顿之前的洛杉
矶快艇队。直到本赛季，他达到他NBA季赛上最高的成就，但是他在适应Harden的节奏的
同时，他不得不缩减自己的风格。
“There’s no respect at all, on either side,” a source told Yahoo Sports. “
They need to get away from one another. Chris doesn’t respect James’ standi
ng in the league, and James doesn’t respect the work Chris has put in to this
point.”
“任何一方都没有尊重另外一边。”一位消息人士告诉雅虎体育“他们需要彼此远离。Ch
ris不尊重James在联盟中的地位，James不尊重Chris做出的工作所花费的心力。“
Paul’s injury-related absences and grating personality have annoyed Harden, s
ources said.
消息人士称，Chris受伤所导致的季赛缺席和咄咄逼人的个性使Harden感到恼火。
If not for Paul’s hamstring injury in the 2018 Western Conference finals, the
Rockets might have dethroned the then-champion Golden State Warriors instead
of losing in seven games. Paul then signed a four-year, $160 million deal that
owner Tillman Fertitta has complained about ever since, sources said, and Pau
l’s subsequent injury-riddled season — he played 58 regular-season games for
the second consecutive year — created even more frustration.
如果不是因为2018年西部决赛中Chris Paul的腿筋受伤，火箭队可能已经取代当时的冠军
金州勇士队，而不是在七场比赛中失利。Chris Paul随后签署了一项为期四年价值1.6亿
美元的合约，而火箭队老板Tillman Fertitta也曾抱怨过这一点。消息人士称，Chris Pa
ul随后受伤的赛季 - 他第二年只打了58场常规赛 - 引起了更多的挫败感。
Paul’s production also has fallen off as he shot a career-low 41.9 percent fr
om the field and 35.8 percent from 3-point range, his lowest mark since 2012-1
3.
Paul的赛场表现也有所下降，他的投篮命中率为41.9％，三分命中率为35.8％，这是他自
2012-13赛季以来的最低成绩。
Harden’s ball-dominant style and unwillingness to give others like Paul space
to operate have grated on Paul, leading to the nine-time All-Star issuing his
trade demand to Rockets general manager Daryl Morey after the season.
Harden以持球为主导的风格，以及不愿意让其他给Paul操作空间让Paul非常难受，这导致
这名九届全明星球员在赛季结束后，向火箭队总经理Daryl Morey发出了他的交易需求。
Sources said Paul would curse at head coach Mike D’Antoni about the offense b
ogging down after Harden would ask to come into the game to join the second un
it, with Paul heading to the bench.
消息人士称，Paul会咒骂主教练Mike D’Antoni因进攻受到限制时，Chris Paul需要坐在
板凳上看Harden率领第二阵容。
“It can’t be fixed,” another league source told Yahoo Sports about the Hard
en-Paul partnership.
“它覆水难收了，”另一位联盟消息人士告诉雅虎体育关于Harden与Paul的合作关系。
The situation is indeed bad, a source said, and the players are frustrated wit
h the system and surprised that D'Antoni trusts Harden so much that he allows
such leeway on the court.
一名消息人士表示，情况确实很糟糕，球员们对这个系统感到沮丧，并且惊讶于D'Antoni
如此信任Harden，以至于他在球场上有这样的自主空间。
Morey has been shopping Paul and others in an attempt to revamp the roster, bu
t Paul’s contract, which calls for him to earn $38.5 million, $41.3 million a
nd $44.2 million the next three seasons, is hard for other teams to swallow.
Morey 一直在尝试兜售Chris Paul和其他人已试图改造球队阵容，但Chris Paul的合约让
他能在接下来的三个赛季能领到3850万美元，4130万美元和4420万美元，这对其他球队来
说很难吞下。
The Rockets have been at the center of controversy the past several weeks, fro
m Fertitta’s contract standoff with D’Antoni, to coaching staff turnover, to
accusations of him demanding the team get under the luxury-tax threshold desp
ite pursuing a championship.
过去几周，火箭队一直处于争议的中心，从Fertitta与D'Antoni的合约对峙，到教练组的
失误，到指责他要求球队在追求冠军的情况下同时不要进入奢侈税门槛。
With the Warriors’ present and future in doubt because of injuries to free ag
ents Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, it would seem like the perfect opportunit
y for the Rockets to move forward, but Paul has made it known he’d like to pl
ay elsewhere.
勇士的现在和未来由于自由球员Kevin Durant与Klay Thompson相继受伤而受到质疑，这
似乎是火箭队前进的绝佳机会，但Chris Paul已经知道他更适合在其他地方打球。
