Feelings! Paul burst into tears in the press conference, and mentioned Harden many times during this period: I didn’t expect to play basketball together
4:34pm, 1 August 2025Basketball
Paul officially appeared, and the Clippers held a very grand meeting ceremony for him, which shows his attention and love for Brother Pao. At the scene, there were also many fans who welcomed each other, which was enough to show Brother Pao's influence. After all, he was also the "captain" here. He played here for 6 seasons, a total of 409 regular season games, averaging 18.8 points and 9.8 assists per game. He is the assist king in the history of the Clippers and is also the second place in the steal list. He was selected as the All-Star 5 times and the Best Team 5 times. During this period, he also went with Griffin and Xiao Qiao. Dan and others built the famous "City of Air Connection"...
, so no matter what they do, Paul is obviously worth it. In the face of the warm welcome from the fans on the scene, especially among the calls of "CP3", the old Paoer was also very moved and sighed. He had tears in his eyes for a while. He might not have expected that after many years, he, the "captain", who had long been old, could be loved, remembered, and enjoy this kind of treatment? Indeed, I believe anyone else would be moved by this scene.
I have to say that I really didn't expect that after 8 years, Paul could return to his hometown and board the ship once full of dreams. Although he is 40 years old and no longer young, it is always good to be able to come back, not to mention that there are his old acquaintances here, his old partner James Harden when he was in the Rockets? This is obviously even more unexpected. I have to say that sometimes fate is really wonderful.
Everyone knows that the two were called "Light Bulb Combinations" when they were in the Rockets. Although the two years were short, they left too many beauty and created too many glory. The two played together in 103 regular season games in 2 years, achieving a record of 81 wins and 22 losses, with a winning rate of 78.6%. In the 2017-2018 season, the Light Bulb also led the Rockets to the best regular season record of 65 wins and 17 losses, and even rushed to the Western Conference Finals all the way... .
Of course, there will be regrets when there is goodness. Facing the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, they took the initiative to win Tianwang Mountain 3-2, but Paul was injured due to a hamstring and was unfortunately unable to play in the second game. The Rockets finally got out of the 7th. When they fought again next year, they were eliminated by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, declaring their dreams shattered, and the relationship between the light bulbs also had cracks... Paul himself was also very moved about these memories, and he also talked about a lot of content related to Harden during the interview.
"We looked back on the experience in Houston together. Sometimes we were as close as brothers, sometimes we had a fierce argument... and now we still have the opportunity to play together, which is really amazing." Obviously, Paul was also somewhat unexpected about this "reunion". In the interview, Paul also mentioned "there are still unfinished tasks between us", which shows that their goal has not changed, and they still win the championship, and they really want to make up for their regrets when they were in the Rockets.
40 years old, this is likely to be Paul's last season, or it may be the season that Deng Ge has the most chance. So, this time, can the light bulb come true?
