James Harden missed Friday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets, but the Houston Rockets guard likely will return to the lineup Saturday.

詹姆斯·哈登错过了周五晚上对阵布鲁克林篮网队的比赛，但这位休斯顿火箭队的后卫可能会在周六回到首发阵容。

Harden, the reigning¹ NBA MVP, missed seven games in January last season due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain.The Rockets are 1-5 to start the season, which prompted D'Antoni to say the team is "playing like crap" earlier in the week."There's no reason we're like we are now," D'Antoni said Thursday. "We just have to hang in there."

哈登作为去年的常规赛MVP，在上个赛季1月份就由于二级腿筋拉伤缺席了7场比赛。火箭本赛季的开局是1胜5负，这使得德安东尼在本周早些时候说火箭“打得像垃圾”。“我们没有理由像现在这样，”德安东尼周四说。“我们必须坚持下去。”

Last Friday, D'Antoni said he believed the Rockets needed to make drastic defensive² changes due to personnel not suited to their switch-intensive scheme that was so successful last season. Earlier this week, D'Antoni reversed course, deciding that communication and execution were bigger problems than personnel . On Thursday, D'Antoni said it was a combination of the two factors.

上个星期五，德安东尼说，他认为火箭需要进行激烈的防守改变，因为他们的人员已经不适合他们在上个赛季做得很成功的密集转换防守了。本周早些时候，德安东尼又改变了看法，认为沟通和执行比人员存在更大的问题。周四，德安东尼说，出现问题的原因，是这两种因素的结合。

哈登

Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said Harden, the reigning MVP, was pain-free following Thursday's practice and is probable for the Rockets' road game against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. Including Friday's game against the Nets, Harden has missed three games after being diagnosed with a Grade 1-plus strain to his left hamstring last week.

火箭教练迈克·德安东尼说，在周四的训练后，卫冕MVP哈登没有感到疼痛，很有可能参加周六晚上火箭对芝加哥公牛的客场比赛。哈登在上周被诊断为一级以上左腿筋拉伤，算上周五对阵网队的比赛，他已经连续缺席了三场。

D'Antoni said Harden was healthy enough to play on Friday, but the organization decided³ it made sense to give him an extra day's rest. D'Antoni said Harden wouldn't have played in both games of Houston's back-to-back.

德安东尼说哈登在周五的比赛中身体已经很健康，但是球队决定让他多休息一天。德安东尼说哈登不会在火箭背靠背的两场比赛中都上场。

"James is never limited. He wants to play," D'Antoni said Thursday on Harden, who missed seven games with a Grade 2 hamstring strain last January.

“詹姆斯从不受限。他想上场比赛，”德安东尼周四谈到哈登时说。哈登去年1月因二级腿筋拉伤缺席了7场比赛。

The Rockets will certainly welcome his return at this point.

此时此刻火箭绝对希望哈登回归。
