Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 138 [Need the core!Yao Core! 】

Can Yao Ming successfully transfer?Where can the transfer go?This is really a big problem.

Both Hayes and Van Gundy can't tell why. It's impossible to say that they went to the Bobcats together.Yao Ming is still in the contract period. If the Bobcats want to trade Yao Ming, they must send Okafor and Gerald Wallace, but the main problem is that Alexander may not agree to change.

If Yao Ming is traded in this way, in terms of improving the strength of the team, the Rockets will make a profit.

There's no question that Okafor is a star, a big man who combines length and weight with quick movement and the ability to defend.He can serve as a center and a power forward. He has outstanding shot-blocking ability and is also good at grabbing offensive rebounds. If Okafor can enter the Houston United David Lee, the Rockets' inside line will become a no-fly zone.Gerald - Wallace is an all-around fighter, there is still room for improvement in offensive capabilities, and can increase the Rockets' defensive capabilities.

Hayes felt horrible when he thought of this plan. If Tracy McGrady is used to trade these two, the Rockets' defense can only be described as abnormal. In the history of the NBA, there may not be a team that can defend stronger than them.Of course, this matter can only be YY, Alexander will not change like this.He is a pure businessman. Even if you tell him that the Rockets can win 5 consecutive championships as long as they pay a luxury tax, he will give up the opportunity to build a dynasty in order to avoid the luxury tax.Because it doesn't make money, it's the fans who are happy, not the owner.

But in terms of commercial value, Okafor and Gerald Wallace cannot compare with Yao Ming.So it's all out of the question.Just like Billups and Prince can't replace McGrady who shoots 41% from the field.

Even if Alexander is willing to trade Yao Ming, Yao Ming still feels a little bit reluctant. He is a person who attaches great importance to feelings. He has many friends here. He bought a house, his parents are still there, and he also has Yao Restaurant...

And Yao Ming was a little scared.He also thought that if any team wants to trade him successfully, it must at least produce one or two good stars to succeed. If so, does that team still have a future?If he is traded to a bad team, it seems that he might as well stay in the Rockets.

After Yao Ming expressed his doubts, except for Taylor Swift who didn't know much about football, the other three shook their heads.From this point of view, if you want Yao Ming to leave the Rockets, you have to go to a good place. The difficulty is not ordinary. If the transfer is successful, Yao Ming is likely to fall into the fire pit. .

Hayes was also speechless.He wished Yao Ming well, but he couldn't harm Yao Ming.But he wanted to take a few younger brothers with him while he was leaving.Mu En, who was recovering from his injuries, was definitely mixed up with him.Weaver only has a one-year minimum salary contract. After this season is over, he is definitely willing to leave with him. When Finley made a malicious foul, Weaver immediately wanted to kill Finley, and several people stopped him to show how loyal this brother is.

Azubuike signed a two-year contract with a total value of about 150 million U.S. dollars. In the first season, Azubuike will receive a basic salary of 68 U.S. dollars stipulated by the league, and the second-year contract has options. Worth over $80.

The contract option is a unilateral option added when both the team and the player agree. It gives the team or the player the choice of whether to implement the final year of the contract. The contract is divided into team options, player options and early termination options. And must be implemented before July 7.

The most common ones are the first two.

Team option: As the name suggests, the team option means that the team has the right to execute the final year of the contract, and there is only one option in the multi-year contract, and the annual salary of the option cannot be lower than the salary of the previous year.

For example, if Vince Carter signed a 2007-year contract with the Nets in 5, the last year (2011-12 season) is the team option year, if the Nets do not implement the option, then the contract will end early , Carter also did not get the final year's $1800 million.

Player option: It means that the player has the right to execute the final year of the contract. For example, Azubuike now, as long as he implements the player option and makes himself jump out of the original contract, he can become a completely free agent and test the free market .If you are not optimistic about your own market, you can choose to stay in the original contract.

If Hayes said to Azubuike: "Brother, jump out of the contract and go to the Bobcats with me. I guarantee you will pay more than here!"

Can Azubuike say no?Hayes can easily abduct his two younger brothers.In this way, the Bobcats have three direct descendants of Hayes, and the Bobcats' strength has been easily strengthened.

There is also veteran Fisher, according to the original historical development, he is going to the Lakers.But he played so well next to Hayes, it's hard to say whether he will go to Hayes or not.If Fisher cannot renew his contract, the blow to the Rockets must be the biggest, which means that only Spanoulis and John Lucas III are left at their point guards.

If these people leave, the Rockets want to defend the title is simply a dream.Yao Ming doesn't have much future in the Rockets.

Hayes didn't want to hide Yao Ming's thoughts, and Yao Ming yelled that he had a headache. "Chuck, once you leave, the Rockets will fall apart. What should I do? Even if I want to transfer, Alexander will not agree. My God!"

Gao Tongxuan raised her small hand, everyone looked at her, and she said, "Yao Ming, I think, if you want to transfer, Alexander will definitely trade you out of the team."

"Oh? How are you so sure? Could it be that Alexander will easily let go of this big 'Yao money tree'?" Hayes asked.

Yao Ming and Van Gundy are also curious.What Alexander valued was the Chinese market behind Yao Ming, so how could he just let it go?When it comes to basketball, he's an idiot.But in terms of business, it's shrewd.

"Alexander values ​​the Chinese market and relies on Yao Ming's influence in China. Chinese fans are water, and the Rockets are a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. But they support Yao Ming, not the Rockets!" Gao Tongxuan smiled.

Van Gundy didn't understand what Gao Tongxuan was talking about.Hayes and Yao Ming immediately figured out something.

Hayes looked at Yao Ming and said with a smile, "I understand. Tong Xuan is right, it's actually very simple for you to transfer! As long as you hold a press conference and express your strong dissatisfaction with the Rockets giving up on me, you can say a lot. You can say how ruthless you are. A public break with the Rockets will put pressure on the Rockets’ top management. At that time, if I can’t stay, Chinese fans will definitely support your transfer. At this time, if Alexander insists on keeping you, not only will he not be able to go to China to make money, He may even become China's public enemy! Because he has delayed your future! At this time, his only choice is to trade you out of the team and replace you with other stars to assist Tracy McGrady, the sole core."

"But, in this way, what good will it do me? I'm still likely to be traded to a bad team, right?" Yao Ming said helplessly.

Yao Ming still hesitated.

Hayes suddenly felt that even if Yao Ming went to a bad team as the absolute core and made super statistics, it would be better than staying in the Rockets and being used by Adelman.So he said seriously: "Yao Ming, look at me and tell me, I am a little disappointed in you. It is true that you may have better results if you stay in the Rockets, but I am gone, and many people have left. Do you think you can do better in the future?" Can you win a championship? With such a boss, it is wishful thinking for you to build a dynasty in the Rockets. I know that Chinese people often regard modesty as a virtue. Sometimes you are doing better than others, or you are more capable than others, but you get When people praise you, they always say that you are not doing enough, or that you still have many shortcomings and shortcomings. This is the United States! It is the NBA! Have you ever thought that excessive modesty and courtesy are a kind of cowardice here? And incompetence? I was a low-salary player last year, and I looked up to you at that time. But even if I was transferred to a bad team like the Bobcats, I still had the confidence to win the championship. Don’t you have the confidence to change teams and be a real core? , leading a group of younger brothers to win the championship? The outside world calls us the Big Three, because in the eyes of others, we are players of the same level. You were selected to the first team of the best team this year, which proves that most people think you are better than me. But now , you feel that you are inferior to me from the bottom of your heart! Whether to leave or stay, this is a major issue related to your career. You don’t have to be modest in everything, a man is a bit bloody! Some things have to be fought for.”

Yao Ming smiled wryly and said, "Chuck, after hearing what you said, I suddenly felt that I was really too weak."

"You can be strong! No matter how much Jeff and I put pressure on the boss, we will be killed. You are different, you have a solid backing behind you. One billion Chinese can't deal with a mere Alexander? He is not The one who led the Macedonian Expedition! Everyone scolded him, and he still wants to make a fortune by smoking in the ancestral grave? It’s almost as good as cursing him into the grave!” Hayes laughed.

"Anyway, we don't seem to be able to be teammates anymore. I feel sorry. You are the best teammate I have ever seen. With you by my side, I think we will win the championship. From the beginning of the season, I have This feeling." Yao Ming shook his head.

"Yao Ming, since we met, I have always regarded you as a big brother! I hope to enter the Hall of Fame with you in the future, and we can play video games together when we are old. Therefore, our separation must only be temporary. Wait for your contract When it expires, you can find me again, or I can find you, and then we will win the championship together. It won’t take a few years. If your team’s record is not good by then, you can jump out of the contract in advance. If my ball The team's salary is insufficient, and I will be willing to cut your salary for you! Remember this agreement, I will definitely abide by it!" Hayes said seriously, raising his right hand.

Yao Ming bit his lip and raised his right hand, and the two exchanged fists.

Yao Ming suddenly thought about it, and even his mentality became younger.As long as he wins the championship this season, even if he can't win the championship in the future, he will have no regrets.Great players like Ma Long and Barkley have never won a championship. What is he afraid of?Why can't you let go of your mind and go for it.Wherever he went, he bought a house and took his parents to live with him.Yao Restaurant can also open branches, maybe it can develop into a restaurant chain in the United States in the future!

Before meeting Hayes, Yao Ming always strived for stability.There are many "Yao Hei" in this world, and the most black one is that he is too soft, not domineering, and cannot be the core.Yao Ming himself knows that people say he is "soft", not only because of his skills, but also because of his psychology.Why can't he become more passionate?

Thinking of this, Yao Ming's eyes also changed.He looked at Van Gundy, who hadn't spoken for a long time, and said with a smile, "Jeff, I have a request. In the finals, attack with me as the core! The Cavaliers can't defend me inside, and I will lead the Rockets to win the championship!"

"As you wish!" Van Gundy laughed.
