Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 150 [People are in the rivers and lakes, can't help themselves]

Hayes returned to Los Angeles to continue coordination training with Johnson.

All teams in the league have started recruiting to prepare for next season.After the success of the Rockets, the league began to popularize the Big Three.

The first team to take the shot was the Celtics. They first used Al Jefferson, Derante West, Theo Ratliff to package and trade the SuperSonics Ray Allen and Glenn David. Adams, and then conducted a three-way deal with the Trail Blazers and Wizards.

The Trail Blazers want to put the best rookie Brandon Roy on the post, and Durant's playing style also needs to take up a certain amount of shots, so they have to send away the original team boss Zach Randolph.Randolph was very surprised when he learned that he was going to be traded. He didn't want to leave, but it didn't help. The Blazers couldn't bear his lazy defensive attitude and decided to rebuild with young players.

Antawn Jamison, who averaged 20 points and 8 rebounds per game, entered his contract year next season, and he became an effective bargaining chip for the Wizards trade.

Randolph averaged 23.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per game last season. Although he has a bad record off the court, he has solid inside offensive skills that are extremely rare in today's league, and at the same time has a beautiful outside shooting ability. Said that Randolph is indeed a good choice, even if Randolph's remaining three-year contract of 5800 million US dollars is quite terrifying, and Randolph's contract expires in the 2009-10 season, that is LeBron James, Devi En Wade and other 03 golden generation entered the free agent market year.

The Wizards' pursuit of Randolph is risky, but Rasheed Wallace and Dennis Rodman have proven that bad boys can also be key members of a championship team. Taking a step back, Randolph is better than Brandon Haywood and Etan Thomas, who are busy fighting all day, are strong, right?The Wizards thought Randolph might just need a change of scenery.

The Celtics selected Mike Conley with the fourth overall pick, so they sent the team's third point guard Rajon Rondo and former All-Star player Szczerbiak.

As a result, Jamison went to the Celtics, the Wizards got Zach Randolph, and the Blazers got Szczerbiak, who had a bad contract, and Rondo, who was regarded as a "oil bottle" by the media.The media unanimously believed that the Blazers did a loss-making business. Although they wanted to trade away the team's cancer Randolph, although they needed a point guard, they shouldn't accept Szczerbiak, who is getting worse and worse. With a guard who can't score.

Rondo does seem to be a by-product. He was traded to the Celtics after the 2006st pick by the Sun in 21. He only had garbage data of 6.4 points and 3.8 assists in his first season.

But when he saw the news, Hayes' first thought was to kill the Celtics manager!He knows what Rondo's future will be like!

He doesn't know if Jamison, Pierce, and Ray Allen count as the Big Three; he doesn't know what the Big Three of the Wizards Arenas, Butler, and Randolph can do; but the Blazers' current starting lineup is too Exaggerated.

Center Pulchibila, power forward Aldridge, small forward Durant, shooting guard Roy, point guard Rondo.Szczerbiak and Outlaw are also good players.

Even if the Blazers no longer reinforce this season, this lineup will make Hayes very stressed.Of course, Durant and Rondo are not good enough now, but once these two play well, the Blazers are bound to become a terrifying team in two years.

Another change is that Vince Carter, who was supposed to stay in New Jersey, signed a five-year 8200 million contract with the Magic.

In order to sign Hayes, the Nets' delay in signing caused Carter's dissatisfaction. As a result, the Nets lost their wife and broke up...

The Magic team's uniform team cannot be delayed. Warcraft Dwight Howard has not renewed his contract for a long time. It seems that the team needs a little performance, so the Magic must sign a star player to keep Howard.They originally liked Hayes, but Hayes refused.There are not many "big fish" in the free agent market. It is already an open secret that Billups will stay with the Pistons.In the end, only Lewis and Vince Carter remained.Carter is obviously higher than Lewis in terms of fame and ability.

Soon, the Magic spread the news of the renewal of Howard's 5-year 8500 million sky-high contract.This contract far exceeds Yao Ming's 5-year 7600 million.The strength of magic has also become very terrifying.Hayes is starting to regret going to the East a little bit.

There are also brain-dead deals. The Toronto Raptors signed Kapono who can only shoot three-pointers for 4 million in 2400 years, and the Lakers kept Wharton for 6 million in 3 years.

There are also some teams that have tightened their belts and are carrying out reinforcement activities.The Rockets officially signed free agent Mike Harris to a non-guaranteed contract.Then he gave up Mutombo, who had few opportunities to play last season, and Mutombo then joined the Timberwolves with a veteran's basic salary contract.

The Pistons traded Argentine guard Delfino for the Raptors' two second-round picks in 2009 and 2010.The Raptors seem to dislike the draft.

For the Bobcats, there is also a big deal.

The Suns sent Kurt Thomas, an important substitute inside the team, and two first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 from the Bobcats in exchange for Ryan Hollins, a substitute insider, worth $800 million. And the Bobcats' 2009 second-round pick.

With Kurt Thomas, an experienced veteran, the Bobcats' inside strength has been reinforced.

And the object of Bobcats second transaction is Yi Jianlian!
Hayes planned to see if he could sign a contract with Yi Jianlian in two weeks, but in just one week, the matter was settled.

Although Yi Jianlian himself said that "if you come, you will be safe", but after the draft, Yi Jianlian's American agent Fagan has not contacted the official Bobcats team after the draft, which means that Yi Jianlian did not report to the Bobcats.

According to the previous arrangement, Yi Jianlian's plan for the next few weeks is to gather with the Chinese men's basketball team, and then follow the Chinese men's basketball team to participate in the summer league in Dallas and Las Vegas.Bobcats proposed to meet with Yi Jianlian during this period, but after the "disappearance" of Ah Lian's agent, such a normal working form now seems so out of reach.

Over the weekend, Fagan finally contacted the Bobcats manager Rod Higgins, stating that Yi Jianlian refused to play for the Bobcats because there were too few Chinese in Charlotte, and expressed the hope that the Bobcats could trade Yi Jianlian to the Warriors.

Rod Higgins is furious!Where do you want to go, isn't it too embarrassing?After he informed Jordan, Jordan even angrily stated that he would let Yi Jianlian sit on the bench for a season.Fortunately, Hayes acted as a peacemaker and suppressed Jordan's anger in time.

Hayes said: "Michael, I don't think there is any need to be angry at all. The twisted melon is not sweet. The trade is good for both parties, and I have already taken a fancy to the two Warriors, and I am preparing to propose a trade for you. Now In addition to trading, we can also gain the favor of the Warriors, laying the foundation for future trades."

Jordan still couldn't swallow this breath, and wanted to have a face-to-face exchange with Yi Jianlian.Hayes called for half an hour to persuade Jordan, and finally let Jordan calm down and agreed to the deal.

In his previous life, Yi Jianlian was forcibly left in the Bucks and wasted.This time, let him go to the place he most wants to go, and see what will happen.However, Hayes also felt disgusted with Yi Jianlian in his heart. Who did he think he was when he first entered the NBA?
In fact, Yi Jianlian is a very honest kid, and he didn't intend to play big names. He completely took the "scapegoat" for some big shots on the transaction issue!It's just that Hayes, like most fans, doesn't know the real reason.

There is an old saying in China that "people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." Some things can't be decided by Yi Jianlian's own wishes at all.

How could Yi Jianlian, a mere international rookie, dare to play big in front of the Americans when he first arrived in the NBA?Isn't this pushing yourself into the fire pit?He is actually willing to stay in the Bobcats, but he has no right to speak.

This can be seen in some performances on draft day.When Yi Jianlian was accidentally selected by the "bad team" Bobcats, he felt a little uncomfortable at first, and his expression was ugly.But when he analyzed the current situation of the Bobcats, he quickly thought about it.When faced with media questions, his answer was: "I'm not familiar with the Bobcats and the city of Charlotte, but I'm still very happy to play for the Bobcats. This is a young team with some great talent. They are relatively weak at the power forward position, I think I can make up for this shortcoming and contribute to the team! I am very excited to play in the NBA!"

When he said these words, Yi Jianlian already had a smile on his face.He is a person who understands the ball. After seeing the staffing of the Bobcats, the first thing he thought of was that he could quickly gain a foothold in this team. There is no strong scorer in the Bobcats team, and he can also get a certain amount of shots. Chances are, even the Bobcats will play for him to some extent.Going to a weak team has the benefits of a weak team. He can get more playing time and adapt to the NBA as soon as possible.Therefore, Yi Jianlian fully accepted the Bobcats in his heart.

As for how many Chinese people there are in Charlotte, this is not his concern at all.What does that have to do with him?His time in Charlotte will not be much, they will play road games and fly everywhere for half the season.In the summer he will return to the national team to train and compete.Moreover, if there are few Chinese in Charlotte, his entertainment will also be reduced, and instead he will concentrate on playing.The more Chinese there are, the more things there are. Yi Jianlian is somewhat introverted and not good at communicating with people, so he doesn't like socializing at all.His idea is actually very simple, it doesn't matter where he plays.Anyway, no matter where he plays, domestic fans are willing to watch, and his fan base will still be huge.

So, why is he proposing a deal?
This is the crux of the problem. The answer is Yi Jianlian's agent Fagan and his former team Guangdong Hongyuan.
First of all, Yi Jianlian's agent was not chosen by himself, but Guangdong Hongyuan team chose Fagan.The fact is that, just like the Shanghai Sharks selected Yao Ming's agent, Guangdong Hongyuan also selected Yi Jianlian's agent.But Yao Ming refused, but Yi Jianlian did not. He was not Yao Ming, nor did he have Yao Ming's courage. He could only be manipulated by others. He had never even met Fagan before.

When Guangdong Hongyuan was interviewing an agent, the most concerned question was "how much benefit can you bring us?" Guangdong Hongyuan is basically a private club, and they know that Yi Jianlian has huge economic interests.And Fagan is indeed a very cunning agent.Fagan thinks he can fool the entire alliance, and promises to bring Yi Jianlian to a city with a large number of Chinese, which will bring huge economic benefits, and Guangdong Hongyuan will definitely get a share.

In the view of Fagan and Hongyuan, Bobcat's behavior is a spoiler.Fagan had no choice but to declare that Yi Jianlian refused to play for the Bobcats, and then proposed a deal, because he would not be able to explain to Guangdong Hongyuan if he did not make a deal.

In fact, as long as the Bobcats do not let go, Yi Jianlian will not join other NBA teams.But the Bobcats are not the Bucks, they will not force Yi Jianlian to stay, but what kind of deal will they make?
