I want you to put yourself back in your old life.

我要你把自己放回原來的生活中去。

You're the Rockets coach again.

你又成了火箭隊的教練。

This has happened.

這已經發生了。

You dealt with Patrick, you and you've dealt with superstars and all of your stops.

你和帕特里克打過交道，你和超級巨星打過交道，你所有的站位都是如此。

This is happening.

這是在發生。

You're the Rockets coach.

你是火箭隊的教練。

What do you do?

你是做什麼的？

But it's well, it's a tough situation, obviously, because you know what you're trying to ask everybody on the team, coaches, players is to be all in with both feet, you know, be all in.

但這是一個艱難的局面，很明顯，因為你知道你想要求球隊的每個人，教練，球員都要全身心投入，你知道，要全身心投入。

And, um, all the players and coaches know that Harden is out or wants to be out.

而且，嗯，所有的球員和教練都知道，哈登已經出局或者想出局。

Now that doesn't preclude him from playing.

現在，這並不妨礙他的發揮。

Well, I think, actually that Houston is gonna win and win.

我想，其實休斯頓會贏，而且會贏。

Uh, big if Harden stays.

呃，如果哈登留下來，大。

I think there'll be a top four seed, but I think it's going to be, ah, Hard Year, because everybody's gonna dance around the elephant in the room, which is our best player, doesn't wanna be here.

我認為會有一個前四名的種子， 但我認為這將是，啊，艱難的一年， 因為每個人都會跳舞 圍繞著房間裡的大象， 這是我們最好的球員， 不想在這裡。

When is the other shoe going to drop?

另一隻鞋什麼時候才會掉下來？

So I think Stephen Silas is handling it, just like I think any coach would try.

所以我認為Stephen Silas正在處理它，就像我認為任何教練都會嘗試一樣。

Keep the team on track.

讓團隊走上正軌。

Uh, prepare a Ziff.

呃，讓齊夫準備好。

This is gonna be your team going forward.

這將是你的團隊前進的方向。

But even he knows it's just a matter of time until James Harden is no longer there on.

但即便是他也知道，詹姆斯-哈登不再那裡上只是時間問題。

So you were so close to being on the verge of being that coach.

所以你就差一點就能成為那個教練了。

How toxic could this environment potentially get if they can't find somebody to work the trade with them?

如果他們找不到人和他們一起做這個行業，這個環境可能會有多毒？

For James Harden?

為了詹姆斯-哈登？

Well, I don't know if you know the the article that was written yesterday, if true, is, like, so different than what I'm accustomed to a Sfar as dealing with NBA players now.

我不知道你是否知道昨天寫的那篇文章，如果是真的，就和我現在處理NBA球員的習慣不同。

That's not to say that star players have never asked for or received, you know, benefits that, you know the 12th man didn't get.

這並不是說，明星球員從來沒有要求或接受過，你知道的，第12人沒有得到的福利。

But I think every player who wields power in our league yes, they can.

但我認為在我們聯盟中，每一個掌握權力的球員是的，他們可以。

They can do certain things, but I think they need to ask themselves, Should they do that?

他們可以做某些事情，但我認為他們需要問自己，是否應該這樣做？

Is it the right thing?

這樣做對嗎？

Is it the right thing for the team that selflessness when a star player has selflessness like a Steve Nash or a Tim Duncan or ah, litany of other players that we've had in our league that set you up for team chemistry and team chemistry helps you to elevate your team's game as faras the talent will allow.

它是正確的事情為球隊，無私的當一個明星球員有無私的像史蒂夫-納什或蒂姆-鄧肯或啊，一連串的其他球員，我們已經在我們的聯盟，設置你的團隊化學反應和團隊化學反應幫助你提升你的球隊的比賽，因為遠as的人才會允許。

That doesn't mean you're necessarily gonna win a championship, but it's going to allow you to maximize the talent at hand.

這並不意味著你一定會贏得冠軍，但會讓你最大限度地發揮手中的天賦。

Plus, it allows you to enjoy the year, and I think we all overlook the fact we want toe work in jobs where were valued, where we're excited to go toe work and we're happy.

另外，它可以讓你享受這一年的時光，我想我們都忽略了一個事實，我們希望在被重視的工作崗位上工作，在那裡我們很興奮地去工作，我們很開心。

And when you have chemistry, that's what it allows you to dio.

而當你有了化學，那就是它讓你可以二選一。

Conversely, the opposite is true.

反之，則反之。

You may win and it may be miserable, and that is absolutely zero thought.

你可能會贏，也可能會很慘，這絕對是零想。

Coach, If you are talking to coach Silas, how would you advise him?

教練，如果你在跟Silas教練說話，你會怎麼建議他？

E.

E.

I mean, he's done exceptionally well, job this far, just in the media with the way he's handled it.

我的意思是，他做得特別好，工作到目前為止， 只是在媒體與他的處理方式。

But you have to be assured it's it's only going to get more challenging.

但你要保證它的... ...它只會變得更具挑戰性。

How would you advise him to continue to handle this scenario as it develops?

隨著事態的發展，你會如何建議他繼續處理這種情況？

Well, like you said, I think he's doing such a great job because he's referring many of the hardened questions back to harden himself because Harden really is the only one that can answer about his level of commitment about why he did what he did.

嗯，就像你說的，我覺得他做得很好，因為他把很多硬性的問題轉回給了硬性的自己，因為哈登真的是唯一一個可以回答關於他的承諾程度的人，關於他為什麼這麼做。

And I think Steven has done a great, great job.

我覺得史蒂文做得很好，很好。

You know, I'm fortunate.

你知道，我是幸運的。

I know the Cilice family.

我認識Cilice家族。

My first n b a job When I was 27 as an assistant for the Knicks, one of the other assistant coaches was Paul Silas.

我的第一份工作當我27歲在尼克斯做助理時，其他助理教練之一是保羅-西拉斯。

His dad, who took me under his wing, taught me a lot about the n b A.

他的爸爸，把我收在他的羽翼下，教了我很多關於n b A的知識。

And so I've known Stephen since he was, I think, a high school freshman.

所以我認識Stephen的時候，我想，他還是個高中新生。

And he's always been, Ah, great dude, like he's top notch.

而他一直都是，啊，偉大的傢伙，就像他是頂級的。

If you don't get along with Stephen Silas, you're the jerk.

如果你不和Stephen Silas相處，你就是個混蛋。

And he has put in, like, 20 years to being an assistant coach, and he's got a really good team, and he really knows what he's doing.

他已經投入了20年的時間來做助理教練 他有一支非常優秀的隊伍 他真的知道自己在做什麼。

And I'm I'm very impressed with not only how he's dealt with the Harden dilemma, uh, coming into it.

而我我非常佩服他不僅是如何處理哈登的困境，呃，進入它。

It was a Westbrook dilemma as well, and I think they've come out of it.

這也是威斯布魯克的困境，我認為他們已經走出了困境。

Are Dunas good a job as they can?

杜納斯是好的工作，因為他們可以?

And unfortunately, this great great player doesn't want to be a part of their team anymore.

而不幸的是，這位偉大的偉大球員不想再成為他們球隊的一員了。

And yet I think they're doing the smart thing and not just getting rid of them, but trying to find a situation for themselves, that they feel comfortable that they could still be a really good team.

然而我認為他們做的很聰明，並不是一味的擺脫他們，而是試圖為自己找到一種情況，他們覺得自己仍然可以成為一支真正的好球隊。

So Stephen is going to do an excellent job, has done an excellent job, and I love how we started deflecting the questions back to Harden.

所以斯蒂芬會做得很出色，已經做得很出色了，我喜歡我們開始把問題轉移到哈登身上。
