Paul, 36, was at the Houston Rockets and had two seasons with Harden, but eventually broke up, ending the brief "light bulb era" with the Rockets trading away paul in the summer of 2019. Now Paul is suspected of shelling Harden on Redick's show, saying that "some players in the Rockets don't care so much about winning or losing, and need to be coaxed to play games."
In Paul's two seasons with the Rockets, the Rockets built the ultimate magic ball lineup, especially for the Warriors, no doubt they were able to leap over the Warriors, but also to be optimistic about the impact of the championship. It's just that the reality is far harsher than the ideal, and Harden's cooperation with Paul eventually broke up.
Paul talked about the Rockets years on the show with former teammate Redick, saying, "The hardest thing for me is to play with someone who doesn't care so much about winning or losing a game like me. ”
Although Paul did not name him, the outside world agreed that he was shelling Harden, after all, Harden's laziness and like to visit nightclubs, as well as the key playoffs are not tough enough, and they have repeatedly encountered criticism from the outside world.
Paul further said, "In the first season of going to the Rockets, Ariza sprayed garbage on me, tucker also argued with me, in fact, I still like this, which shows that a few of us care about winning or losing the game." ”
But Paul continued, "Well, you know, there are players you need to coax him to play. At the crucial moment of the game, I didn't have time to coax you. ”
In the 2017-18 season, the Rockets won 65 wins and 17 losses, ranking first in the league, and Harden won the regular season MVP. The Rockets eliminated the Timberwolves and Jazz to advance to the Western Conference Finals, but were eliminated by the Warriors 3-4 in the Western Conference Finals, the last two of which Wereual Was injured, and Harden alone was unable to lead the team to advance.
By the 2018-19 season, the Rockets had 53 wins and 29 losses, but the Playoffs Rockets stopped in the Western Conference Semifinals, and they lost 2-4 to the Warriors.
The Rockets lost to the universe for two consecutive seasons, and the contradiction between Harden and Paul also exploded, and finally the Rockets traded Paul to the Thunder, and at that time, the outside world thought that Paul's career was basically going to end, and he was going to the Thunder. However, Paul led the Thunder to the playoffs, and also traded to the Suns in 2020, leading the Suns to the Finals last season.
