Ariza: The eternal enemy is the Warriors, understanding Paul's move, Durant's decision was once again mocked.
Ariza, a retired NBA veteran, recently talked in an interview about his former teammate Chris Paul, who shocked the trade market this summer. The veteran NBA veteran is known for his straightforwardness and candour, and this interview is no exception.
When asked what he thought of Paul's trade to the Warriors, Ariza didn't shy away from saying, "We all know that Chris was traded to the Warriors, so what else can we say?"I'm never going to play for the Warriors anyway. They've blown up our Rockets over the last couple of years, and that's a huge blow for me. Warriors are our enemies, how can you join the enemies you once were?”
Ariza's remarks were filled with emotion about Paul's trade and loyalty to his old master. He admits that he can't accept his former teammates joining the Warriors, whom they have always regarded as enemies. This emotion can be understood as loyalty and blood in competitive sports, and it also reflects Ariza's deep nostalgia for the Rockets and strong feelings for the Warriors in the past.
Despite regretting Paul's deal, Ariza also tried to understand Paul's decision. He pointed out that it wasn't Paul himself who wanted to join the Warriors, but was traded by the team. This kind of trade may also be an irresistible fate for Paul.
However, Ariza's remarks also seem to be a subtle mockery of Durant's decision. After Durant's Thunder team was reversed by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, Durant announced that he had joined the Warriors, a move that caused an uproar in the NBA circle. Ariza's remarks seemed to suggest that such an act was contrary to his philosophy and a surrender to his past enemies.
Ariza's bluntness and candor once again show his personality. His remarks not only expressed his loyalty to his old master and his persistence in his enemies, but also showed his understanding and persistence in the values of competitive sports. Despite his retirement, his voice still influences the understanding of professionalism and athleticism among active players.
However, the brutality and competitiveness of professional sports also need to be understood and accepted. While Ariza's philosophy is full of passion and loyalty, players sometimes choose more challenging paths in pursuit of championships and better careers. The Chris Paul deal is just a microcosm of that reality.
And everyone has their own understanding and opinion on Durant's decision. Some see it as a sign of courage, others as a departure from the original beliefs. But in any case, we should respect his choice and expect him to continue to show his quality and value in his future career.
Overall, this interview with Ariza once again gives us a glimpse of his love and persistence for basketball, for the game. Although he has left the court, his voice still rings in our ears. His views and attitudes are worth pondering and Xi, and they also make us look forward to the passion and competition in the future basketball arena.
