NBA Coach Says Rockets' Russell Westbrook 'Isn't a Good Complement for Anyone'
聯盟某教練說 火箭Russell Westbrook 「對任何人來說都不是個好的輔助。」
The Houston Rockets thought they fixed their biggest issue last offseason
when they traded Chris Paul for Russell Westbrook.
去年休賽季的時候，火箭把CP3換走，換來Russell Westbrook，他們以為他們已經把他們
最大的問題給解決了。
It appears they just created an even bigger one.
不過似乎他們搞了個更大的麻煩。
On the heels of the Rockets' latest playoff disappointment, an Eastern
Conference coach told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype that Westbrook isn't a
great fit in Houston.
隨著火箭季後賽的挫敗後，一位東區球隊教練跟HoopsHype記者Michael Scotto說
Westbrook在火箭並不是很好的搭配。
"Westbrook isn't a good complement for anyone, in my opinion," the coach
said. "He has to be the main guy. He can't shoot. He needs the ball. He's not
an off-ball player. Hard to play with two max guys who need the ball. Maybe
it's possible, but it seems like two good players instead of Westbrook would
be better the way they play."
「就我個人意見，Westbrook對任何人來說都不是很好的輔助，」這教練說。「他得要當主
角。他不能投球，他需要球，他不是個打無球的球員。打兩個都需要球的頂尖球員是非常
難的。或許可以辦得到，但是似乎用兩個好球員比用一個Westbrook要來得好。」
Westbrook had a largely miserable time in the playoffs, averaging just 17.9
points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists while shooting 24.2 percent from three.
Westbrook的季後賽表現慘淡，場均17.9分，7.9個籃板，4.6次助攻，三分命中率是24.2
趴。
While there was some rust level against Oklahoma City after a quad injury
kept him out nearly three weeks, it should have long worn off by the Rockets'
second-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook was just plain
bad, and Paul's brilliance against Houston a round earlier only further
exacerbated the criticism of the superstar swap.
他之前因為股四頭肌受傷休息了近三個星期，對戰雷霆的系列戰或許還有點生疏，但是對
戰湖人的系列戰應該要已經上手了。不過Westbrook就打得爛，而CP3第一輪季後賽對火箭
的表現更加劇對於他們互換的這筆交易的批評。
There were times when the Westbrook-James Harden partnership appeared to be
working. Westbrook was playing some of the best basketball of his career
before the COVID-19 pandemic halted the season, eschewing most of his bad
habits in favor of relentless attacks to the rim. He averaged 31.7 points,
8.1 rebounds and 6.8 assists while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor over
the final 23 pre-pandemic games.
這對龜龜-鬍子的組合有一段時間似乎看起來能行，在因為武漢肺炎中止賽季之前，
Westbrook打出了一些不錯的表現，他減少了他喜歡不停攻擊籃框的壞習慣。在停賽之前的
23場比賽，他的場均達到31.7分，8.1個籃板，6.8次助攻，投籃命中率是52.7趴。
When the Rockets returned to the floor, Westbrook regressed into his worst
tendencies and never seemed to recover.
而當賽季恢復，Westbrook退化到他最糟的狀況，然後再也沒爬出來。
The Rockets owe Westbrook $133 million over the next three seasons, making
him perhaps the most untradeable player in the sport. They are going to have
to find a way to make this work or face having to deal with mediocrity until
his deal expires or becomes an attractive expiring contract for trade
purposes.
火箭在接下來三年還得付Westbrook一億三千三百萬鎂的薪水，這或許讓他成為運動界裡最
不可能被交易掉的球員。在合約沒結束或者他在合約快結束前變得有交易吸引力前，火箭
得要找到方式讓這組合能行，不然就得面對這一場爛劇。
With Mike D'Antoni choosing to depart after four seasons, Houston's next
coach may have his hands full.
在火箭四年後MDA選擇要與火箭分道揚鑣後，下一任火箭教練可有的忙得了。
