北京时间11月12日讯，NBC Sports湾区记者Will Simonds撰文称，勇士球员追梦最近承认曾故意在库里和保罗之间制造隔阂，因为球队需要隔阂才能进步。
Will Simonds写道：任何篮球迷都知道，勇士前锋德雷蒙德-格林是NBA中最独特的球员之一。
所以，格林在勇士的更衣室里实施一些不同寻常的激励策略也就不足为奇了。
这包括他最近在节目中承认曾经在队友库里和保罗之间制造了隔阂。
“我讨厌保罗，哥们，我不仅讨厌他，而且我们一直在对抗，”追梦解释道，“你得想想，保罗是我们努力实现一切的核心人物。他是组织后卫中的佼佼者。”（”I hated CP, man. And not only did I hate him, but we were always battling,” Green explained. “You got to think, CP is right at the heart of everything we were trying to accomplish. He was the top dog at point guard.”）
“所以我在观察他和库里的关系，我想，这对我们实现目标而言是行不通的（保罗成为库里的老大哥）。”追梦说道。（”So I come in, and I’m watching him and Steph’s relationship, and I’m like, that ain’t going to work for us to be who we want to be — [Paul] being kind of your big bro.”）
2009年夏天库里和保罗一起训练。当库里被勇士选中时，保罗已经是一名打了4个赛季的NBA球员了，他传授了至关重要的经验，帮助库里迅速崛起成为球星。
库里在2018年接受ESPN采访时表示：“他是一个很好的导师。他很自律。还有他的职业态度，我在夏季联赛结束后亲自看到了这一点。很显然，我们都和卡罗莱纳有关系（保罗出生于北卡罗莱纳州，库里在北卡罗莱纳州的夏洛特长大并在戴维森学院打球）。”
追梦似乎担心库里会太听从保罗，因为这两位明星后卫之间互相尊重。（It appears as though Green was concerned with Curry deferring to Paul because of the respect held between the two star guards.）
“因此我开始在他们之间制造隔阂，因为我想，我需要这种隔阂来鞭策球队继续前进，”追梦说道，“他们的关系非常紧密，我开始故意制造隔阂，我觉得保罗也在利用这一点。然后我和保罗发生了冲突，在任何情况下，我都不想修复这种关系。”（”So I started being messy in between and creating a rift because I’m like, I need this rift in order for us to be able to move ahead,” Green continued. “They were super tight. I started intentionally creating a rift, because I felt like CP was using that to his advantage. And then, as I’m creating a rift with them, me and CP [clashed], and under no circumstances do I even want to correct it.”）
此后金州勇士决定不执行保罗2024年的球队选项。
