On October 3, there are only 19 days left before the start of the NBA regular season in the new season. Earlier today, the Clippers officially posted a photo of Harden and Paul during training, which looked very warm. In the new season, the old teammates awards are once again fighting side by side.

The Clippers officially updated social media and posted photos of Paul interacting with Harden at the training ground. And wrote: "Forward this content to those who need to see the warm moments of Paul and UNO"!" During this offseason, Harden signed a two-year contract with the Clippers, and Paul signed a one-year contract with the Clippers. The two have played side by side with the Rockets for two seasons, and now they have cooperated again with the Clippers, which has also touched many fans!

When talking about being teammates with Paul again, Harden said: "Paul did some amazing things after leaving the Rockets. Now our goals are the same. We have no hidden or selfish intentions, and we are all working hard to accomplish the same thing."

Paul said: "I think many of us have talked about together, we practiced together in the stadium. Obviously, the league is very different from the past. In the past, you only practiced about four or five times before the first training camp, but one advantage of having a veteran like us is: you know, you don't need to say too much, just like we just need to get together and see how the actual effect is on the court."

In addition, the Clippers actively recruited troops this summer, and the team's lineup has been upgraded, which makes Harden not have to take on more responsibilities in the new season. Team coach Tyron Lu said bluntly: "The team hopes to reduce Harden's usage rate and game load in the new season. We don't want him to play 60 pick-and-rolls in every game. We will play his role, but we don't have to create shooting opportunities by frequently playing 60 pick-and-rolls. Now with Bill on the court, Leonard returns healthy, Zubac can also attack at a low post, which can free Harden from the pressure of over-organization."
