During Wednesday's episode of Podcast P, Paul George was asked by his co-host
what his future will look like and what he's prioritizing as free agency
nears.
“I mean, for sure contributing to winning basketball,” Paul George said on
his podcast. “But, I mean at this point… I'm not even necessarily… It’s
not even about… Like… People are saying, ‘chasing a championship.’ Like,
it’s not that. But it’s playing the right style of basketball is what I’m
chasing.”
在周三(今天)发布全新一集的Podcast P中，Paul George被他的共同主持人问到他的未来
展望以及在自由球员市场逼近时他所重视的事情。
PG说:“肯定是为赢球做出贡献。但在我现在这个时间点...不是像是有人说的'追求总冠军
。'，不是这样。我追求的是打出正确的篮球风格。”

So not a championship. And no mention of the financial side of things. Only,
‘the right style of basketball?'
It's just another day where quotes from George leave everyone a little
confused and dejected.
所以不是要冠军。更不是说为了钱。只是'打正确的篮球'?
这只是又一天George在Podcast上面发表让大家困惑又沮丧的言论。
(对 又 他别集关于季后赛的言论也被喷了= =)
Earlier in the episode, George explained how different it was playing with
James Harden after losing a number of glue guys in Nicolas Batum and Robert
Covington. It resulted in other guys, including himself, having to do more of
the, ‘dirty,' work.
“We started the year off rolling, we started year off hot,” Paul George
admitted. “Everybody was playing well, there was the energy there. It was
kinda like the first time of us all being healthy with Russ now. It was the
emergence of what it’s like being with Russ now, with myself healthy, Kawhi
healthy, and Russ full-time here. It was kind of like a fresh start of what
we thought could work.
在这集更早的时间点，George解释了在James Harden加盟之后，失去一些像是Nicolas
Batum与Robert Covington这些Glue Guys所带来的不同。他们的离开导致其他球员，包括
他自己，需要做更多的Dirty Work。
Paul George承认:“我们开季表现非常出色，我们开季火热。每个人都表现得很好，球队
充满了能量。这有点像我们和Russell (Westbrook)现在都健康的第一次相处。这是和
Russell在一起的新兴时刻，我健康、Kawhi健康，而且Russell在这里打全职。这就像我们
认为可行的新开始。”
“And then we traded to get James, and it’s not James’ fault of why I think
we struggled, but the lost part of that was we lost RoCo, we lost Nico. Those
were our glue guys. Those were our defenders. And we played small, so they
had the length to help us play small. So again, it had nothing to do with
grabbing James, it was moreso losing those guys. KJ Martin as well. That was
our energy, our young legs. So I think that's kind of where you get to late
in the year and we just weren't as good as we could've been, I think losing
those guys kind of hurt us. RoCo was huge for us. Nico was huge for us. They
would go get rebounds, they would block shots, they would rotate, they were
defensive guys. So you plug those guys around myself, Kawhi, and Russ, they
did a lot of the dirty work. And now you grab James, who is super talented
offensively, now myself, Kawhi, we become the dirty guys. Now we have to
score too. I think it was just a lot that we were trying to balance and
manage at that point.
“But again, it had nothing to do with James. James i thought was awesome for
us. One of the best passers I've played with, one of the best playmakers.
The way he just sees the floor, can take care of the ball, his ball security
is just impressive for just how much he's in pick-and-rolls and in tight
spaces.”
“然后我们就交易获得了James (Harden)，而我认为我们遇到的困难不是James的错，但失
去RoCo和Nico(MM:干啊我咧)对我们来说是很大的损失。他们是我们的Glue Guys。他们是
我们的防守者。我们变小了，他们的长度帮助我们打小球。所以再次强调，这跟拿下James
无关，更多是因为失去了这些球员。KJ Martin也是如此(1;37;44mMM:洗咧靠)。他是我们的能量，我
们年轻的腿。所以我认为这是我们在赛季末表现不佳的原因，失去这些球员对我们造成了
伤害。RoCo对我们来说很重要。Nico对我们来说很重要。他们会抢篮板，他们会火锅盖帽，
他们会轮转，他们是负责防守的球员。所以你在我还有Kawhi、Russ身边安排这些人的话他
们会做很多肮脏的工作。而现在你拿下进攻非常有天赋的James，就变成了我和Kawhi要去
做这些肮脏的事情。我们还要去得分。我想这只是我们当时试图平衡和管理的很多事情。
”
(MM你太苦了 打没几场的KJ Martin都比你重要)
“但再次强调，这与James无关。James对我们来说棒极了。他是我合作过最好的传球手之
一，最好的Playmaker之一。他观察场上局势的方式、控球能力以及他在挡拆中狭小空间的
护球都很令人印象深刻。”
The Clippers had that well-documented 26-5 stretch where they ran through
everyone including the eventual NBA Champion Boston Celtics. Guys were
clicking together, the vibes were great, and it appeared as though the
Clippers could only get better.
Unfortunately, the team faced a rough patch after the All-Star break that saw
them go 10-12 between February 6th and March 26th. The team's identity was
questioned by both George and Harden, which was immediately refuted by Tyronn
Lue and a number of players behind the scenes. Many including Lue were irate
that comments like those were even made, asking, ‘did we not have an
identity when we went 26-5?'
快艇赛季中有一波26-5的高潮，这其中打败了几乎所有人包含最终成为NBA总冠军的波士顿
赛尔提克。队员们在场上配合很有默契，气氛良好，当时快艇队看起来似乎只会更强。
不幸地，这只队伍在明星假期后陷入了一段艰难时期并从2/6到3/26经历了一波10-12。球
队的个性被George与Harden质疑，但这立即遭到了Tyronn Lue和幕后众多球员的反驳。许
多人，包括Lue在内，对于这样的发言感到愤怒，他们问道，“当我们取得26-5的时候，难
道我们没有球队个性吗？”
Once again, injuries derailed their season and they fell short against the
Dallas Mavericks due to the knee inflammation that Kawhi Leonard was dealing
with for the final month of the season. And whether it's fair or not, the
criticism for the Clippers falling short once again lays at the feet of the
stars.
Leonard has been unable to finish the season healthy for the fourth season in
a row. In his first postseason in three years, George was underwhelming and
couldn't deliver consistently when the Clippers needed him most. James Harden
was solid for the most part, but had too many ups and downs as a scorer where
the Clippers needed scoring with Leonard out.
So when George says it's about the right style of basketball, is he implying
he's not necessarily a fan of James Harden's heliocentric type of game?
George saw career-highs in efficiency in part because of the offensive
workload Harden took off his plate, both in scoring and playmaking.
又一次，伤病再次终结了快艇的赛季。快艇因为Kawhi Leonard赛季最后一个月要处理他的
膝盖发炎而倒在了第一轮输给达拉斯独行侠。无论公平与否，快艇未能达成目标的批评再
次落在球队的明星们身上。
Leonard连续4个赛季没办法健康结束。过去3年第一次打季后赛的Paul George表现平庸且
无法在快艇最需要他的时候保持稳定。James Harden在大部分时间表现稳定，但快艇需要
他填上Leonard的得分缺口的时候出现了不少起伏。
所以当George说是要打出正确的篮球时，他是在暗示他并不喜欢以James Harden为中心的
打法?George本季之所以在许多效率项目打出生涯新高，部分原因是Harden在得分和组织方
面分担了他的负担。
Saying a championship isn't the priority while also not mentioning the money
part of things is a strange answer to that question, to say the least. Just
after his extension in December 2020, George said he was committed and felt
he ‘owed' the Clippers a championship.
说冠军不是首要目标，同时也不提到金钱方面的事情，这样回答那个问题至少可以说是奇
怪的。在2020年12月续约后，George曾表示他对快艇有承诺，并感到自己“欠”快艇一座
冠军。

Four years later, the Clippers still don't have a championship and priorities
seem to have shifted.
Now, the look-ahead to free agency in what could be a wild offseason.
四年之后，快艇依然没有拿到冠军而他的优先事项已经改变。
现在我们可能要面对的是一个动荡的自由市场。
