This Weird On-Court Exchange Between James Harden And Jeremy Lin Should Make Rockets Fans Nervous

No one can deny that James Harden is one of the best players in the league right now — not even James Harden. But perhaps all the attention is getting to Harden’s head a bit — he appears to be clashing with his own teammates on the best way to run the offense, i.e. through James Harden, and it’s way too early in the season for that kind of drama.

沒人會否認哈登是現在聯盟中最佳球員之一 — 哈登本人也不會，但或許所有的注意力已經開始讓哈登頭疼了— 對於最佳組織進攻的方法，哈登看起來和隊友是抵觸的，意即，經哈登之手組織進攻。而這種戲碼對這個賽季來說還太早了。

Harden is a ball-dominant guard, which means he needs to rock to be effective. Jeremy Lin, who was benched at the start of this season partially because he’s also ball-dominant, is supposedly the team’s point guard — meaning he calls the plays relayed from the sideline and runs them to the best of his ability. So take a look at this crucial late-game possession against the Lakers last night, and notice what Harden does (around the 0:07 mark) while Lin calls a play:

哈登是個需要球長時間在手中的後衛，意思是他必須如此才能做到高效。林書豪在本賽季一開始就被放在板凳上，部份原因在他也是需要球在手中的人，他原本該是隊中的控衛—意即他會發起自場邊傳來要執行的戰術，然後盡所能發揮到最好。所以不妨看一下這個昨晚（台北是早上）關鍵的球權，注意哈登（0:07秒）在林發起進攻時做什麼：

If it looks like Harden is walking away from Lin and completely ignoring the play call and just standing in the corner not moving while his teammates try to make something happen on a limited shot clock, it’s because that’s exactly what happened. Lin ended up taking a forced runner as the shot clock expired. At the end of the video, you can see Harden walk over to Lin. This is apparently what happened next:

如果看起來像是，哈登從林身邊走開、然後完全忽略戰術執行、當他的隊友們正努力在時限內做出一些成果時、只是站在角落一動也不動，那是因為，這完全就是當時發生的狀況。顯然這是接下來發生的事：

 

哈登為了最後一擊向林發火。貝佛利和麥克海爾必須示意他冷靜。

 

Ball-dominant star who considers himself the best shooting guard in the league is mad at fellow ball-dominant star* (*deserved or not) for trying to run a play and coming up short? That’s not going in the “team leader” scrapbook. Then again, it’s no secret that Harden loves running iso-plays for himself — it must sting when he doesn’t get to touch the ball once in a crunch-time possession.

認為自己是聯盟最佳得分後衛的、要球在手的球星，對他同樣要球在手的球星夥伴（不論他是否值得被稱為球星）感到生氣，為了夥伴想要執行一個戰術卻沒有完成？這不是隊長該有的樣子。然後再說一次，哈登喜歡自己單打已經不是祕密 — 當他在關鍵時刻的球權卻沒辦法碰到球，想必是很不爽的一件事。

 

Harden choosing to ignore the play and then pout about it is a bad sign. Everyone was worried before the season that Dwight Howard’s maturity level could derail the team’s title hopes, but maybe it’s the other young star that Rockets fans should be worried about. Howard left L.A. to escape the team’s star ball hog, but seems to have run into a similar situation in Houston.

哈登選擇忽略那個戰術、然後為此板著臉，這是不好的徵象。每個人在季前都在擔心，霍華德的成熟度可能會讓爭冠的希望脫軌，但或許是另外一個年輕的明星才是火迷應該擔憂的。霍華德離開了洛城，就為了逃離隊上的球星霸著球，但看起來卻在休士頓遇上同樣的狀況。

 

Note: Harden did drop 35 points in the loss, but on 9-24 shooting, which is not exactly the most effective night from the field.

註：哈登的確在這場失敗中拿下35分，但是投24中9的命中率並非最有效率的一夜。
