Russell Westbrook Aware Players May Not Want To Play With Him


Russell Westbrook has realized that he will need to take a lead role in keepin
g Paul George with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Westbrook已經意識到他需要在把George留在雷霆這件事上扮演領導角色。

"The bigger question for me is not necessarily what the Thunder learned, but w
hat did Russell Westbrook learn about recruiting star a teammate back?" said R
oyce Young on The Hoop Collective. "I think what's interesting here is I hear
a lot about Westbrook and George and kind of the relationship they've built an
d that it's really strong off the court.



"I think what's key about this is Paul George got to meet Russell Westbrook wh
en he was 28 years old. Russell Westbrook at 28 years old is a lot different t
han the 20-year-old Kevin Durant met and got to know. So while Westbrook and D
urant had a unique bond they had a respect and admiration for each other, ther
e were a lot of scars to that relationship.



"Paul George is meeting and getting to know Russell Westbrook as a father, as
a married man and as a strong and mature guy. Quite an evolution in terms of p
ersonality. I think that's kind of an interesting element.

但是George認識的Westbrook是一位父親，一個已婚且更強大更成熟的男人。他在人格上
有了巨大的轉變。我認為這是很有趣的因素。

"One thing Russell Westbrook is not known for is he's not a real social guy wh
en it comes to team dinners, hanging out, cookouts at the house, playing video
 games and doing those types of things. Westbrook was kind of off and isolated


有件事並不被人熟知，Westbrook並不是一個喜歡社交的人，他在隊內聚餐，一起出遊，
家庭聚餐，一起打遊戲這些方面並不是一個很外向的人。他更傾向於一人獨處。

"He's kind of broken out of that shell with Paul George."

但他在和PG相處的時候，脫掉了他的外殼。

Westbrook reportedly is aware of the perception some around the league have th
at certain players may not want to play with him.

根據報導，Westbrook已經知道聯盟中有些球員不想和他一起打球。

"It's a conversation I've had with him and other people have talked to him abo
ut. He's aware of the idea that people don't want to play with him," said Youn
g. Whether that's true or not. Really, this is kind of an unfair setup for him
 Paul George coming to Oklahoma City; they were never on the radar. It was we
ll known that the Lakers were his preferred destination.



"If Westbrook can pull it off, it's a feather in his cap for sure. At the same
 time, it's going to be something people are going to talk about. It's going t
o be a narrative that persists if Paul George leaves whether it's Westbrook's
fault or not."

如果Westbrook能留下George，那會是個巨大的成就。同時如果無法留下PG，那人們以後
會討論關於George離開是否是Westbrook的錯。

短評或心得：

可惜好像又要留不住PG了…
