The Rockets really shouldn t have disintegrated! Harden talks about Paul joining the Clippers for the first time, and they must strive for the championship

Harden, who visited China recently, accepted an interview with the media. Harden talked a lot in the interview. There are goals for the Clippers’ new season and their personal future prospects. First of all, the Clippers' current situation. Harden believes that the team is still capable of competing for the championship because the team has joined many suitable players. The fourth position strengthened Collins and completely solved the problem of past Leonard's cameo appearances. Then the substitute also got Daluo to solve the problem of Zubac rotation.
, including Harden's substitute, was also resolved, and Paul's re-joining teaming up made them dream of 18 years of Light Bulb 2.0. In addition, Bill's ability to attack in the point guard can further release Harden's pressure. It can be said that it doesn’t matter whether the Clippers can win the championship in the new season, but what’s important is that their feelings are full. Especially between Harden and Paul, the two broke up in 2019. The Rockets traded Paul with 2 first rounds of 2 swap rights and 5 for 1 to Westbrook. This deal made the Rockets, Harden and Paul lose three times. The Rockets disintegrated, Harden wandered, and Paul did not have a championship. As Harden said in the interview, he responded to Paul's joining for the first time. Paul talked about Harden when he joined the team before, and he said that the two joined hands again to make up for the regrets of that year. Paul also admitted that he communicated with Harden before joining the Clippers, and the two returned to the idea of joining forces to build a team in the offseason in 2017. Paul has always said that he has no conflict with Harden, and Harden talked about this in an interview.
Harden said: "Chris Paul and I became teammates again. You know what Paul said when he joined the Clippers, and there is no need to say anything more between me and him, because we all know what kind of situation each other is facing, especially at this stage of our career. We have always been very competitive. I think it's not just me and Paul, but the entire Clippers. From Ballmer, to Frank and then to Tyron Lou. Our common goal is to win the championship. Only this can make us successful, and we are willing to sacrifice for it at all costs and make sacrifices."
The Clippers are all a group of players who need to prove themselves, and Leonard wants to prove that he is still healthy. Paul and Harden are only one championship away from the Great Perfection, and Bill wants to prove it to the outside world that it is not that he can't do it, but that the Suns can't do it. In fact, Harden and Paul shouldn't have broken up, and the universe bravery fell in 2019. Durant had a ruptured Achilles tendon and joined the Nets. Then Thompson also suffered a serious injury. It is obvious that the Warriors are not good in the 19-20 season, and the Rockets are unique. The Rockets are the most complete team in the entire Western Conference and then the best chemistry. The Rockets can keep Paul, Harden, House, Tucker and Capela starting five Tigers, with Gordon leading the bench. Then if Westbrook doesn't change, the Rockets will not send out the first round picks for four years. They can use these first round picks to select the rookie forwards that can be used in order to take advantage of the bonus. So from the 19-20 season, to the current 24-25 season, the Rockets are strong contenders in the championship.
It is obvious that the Warriors, who did not dismantle the lineup, reached the top again in 22 years. What else can the Rockets disintegrate? Facts have also proved that Westbrook and Harden are incompatible, and the most compatible are the duo of Harden and Paul. The Nets have the most hope of winning the championship when Harden left the Rockets, but lost to injury. Including the 76ers and the Clippers in the past two seasons, they actually have the ability to compete for the championship. All these show that once a choice is wrong, it will be half the result with twice the effort. If Paul doesn't send it away, Harden may have won the first championship. Moreover, he doesn't need to wander around. The two of them may have become a good story. There are only two seasons left to make up for this 6-year itch. It's a pity that it's a pity.
