Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 174 [New pattern of the alliance, the need for wooden people to trade]

After the Bobcats game against the Suns, several stars also expressed their views.

Kobe Bryant said after watching the game video: "Chuck is a great player and a great scorer. After leaving the Rockets, he found the most suitable offensive system to play his strengths."

Allen - Iverson said: "This is really a crazy performance. In the summer, Kevin and I hope that Chuck can join the Timberwolves, so that we will form an invincible team. Unfortunately, he chose the Bobcats. He is a real fighter, I think he wants to lead the team to win the championship independently. We can't be teammates, we are still friends, he is a great opponent!"

LeBron James said it most directly. "I have always disagreed with what Charles Barkley said. But I think he is right in one sentence. Chuck Hayes will be my opponent for life."

James' words made people more optimistic about the Bobcats and Hayes.

Hayes did not live up to the "little emperor" optimistic.Bobcats start the schedule very favorable, five consecutive home games.After defeating the Suns, they defeated the Philadelphia 5ers 117 to 106 at home and achieved four consecutive victories. Hayes scored 76 points, 26 rebounds and 13 assists for the second consecutive triple-double.The Time Warner Arena was continuously full, and many fans chanted "Elvis Hayes!" and "Hayes MVP!".

This season, the pattern of strong west and weak east has been broken.The top four in the East have the capital to challenge the West.

After the Bobcats achieved four consecutive victories, the East ranked first.Ranked second is the Atlanta Hawks led by Yao Ming, who also won four games in a row.Hayes and Yao Ming are very destined. Although they are not teammates, they are assigned to the same division.The Southeast Division where they are located has also become a recognized group of death.

Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Bobcats, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards.Except for the Heat's 4-game losing streak, the five teams are all favorites in the playoffs.

姚明四场比赛场均上场34分钟，贡献22.4分9.8篮板2.4助攻1.6盖帽。他和海耶斯都在各自球队里成为了绝对核心，带队打出了漂亮的战绩。

This makes the Rockets look extremely tragic, the defending champion is now 0 wins and 4 losses.Lost to the Jazz, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, and Spurs successively.This is also unlucky for the Rockets, who encountered strong opponents at the start of the game.

The top four in the Eastern Conference in the first week were the Bobcats, Eagles, Magic (three wins and one loss), and Cavaliers (three wins and one loss), followed by the Pistons, Wizards, Bulls, and Nets.

The only surprise for Hayes was the Celtics.After Jamison and Ray Allen joined, they still only achieved a record of [-] win and [-] losses.The joining of two stars did not bring any vitality to the team.

In Hayes' previous life, the Celtics' Big Three achieved success in their first season, defeating the Lakers to win the championship, and Pierce was named the Finals MVP.But if Garnett hadn't ended the "soft egg" in the finals, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

Looking at the Celtics' poor record now, there is only one explanation, and that is Kevin Garnett.Hayes can now be sure that Garnett is the real giant!
Garnett didn't score very high in the Celtics, and he didn't have more than 10 rebounds, but his support in the high position and fierce defense are indispensable for the team.The Celtics traded Jefferson and a group of potential players to the Timberwolves. Jefferson averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, but the Timberwolves stayed in the lottery zone for several consecutive years. It can be seen that the data cannot explain everything.

The results of the Western Conference teams can also prove that Garnett is strong. The Timberwolves started the game with a record of 4 wins and 0 losses.Allen Iverson averaged 27.4 points, 7.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 45.8%, setting a career high.Beside Garnett, he doesn't look like a "tumor" at all, and he plays more reasonably.The two had good chemistry.

Hayes also has a different understanding of what a team cancer is. When a group of teammates around him is weak in offense and passes the ball to a core player like Iverson as soon as he catches it, Iverson must win if he wants to win. If you can do it alone, even if you are called a cancer, you have to fight like this, because this is the only way to win.The teammates are not confident and dare not play. If he chooses to pass the ball again, who can he pass it to?Who else can stand up?
If you have two superstars on a team and a few good role players, the game will be much easier.Just like the Timberwolves now.

Another team that has attracted attention is the Golden State Warriors, because they have another promising Chinese player, Yi Jianlian.This is also a running and bombing team. It faces the same problems as the Suns. There is no center and the defense is not good.Due to the shortage of inside players, Yi Jianlian got 34.4 minutes of playing time. He played his speed advantage in the Warriors. He can play fast breaks and make mid-range shots in positional offenses. Therefore, he played the most beautiful data among rookies. . 15.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.But the Warriors have a record of 0 wins and 4 losses.

At this time Yi Jianlian was very depressed, wishing to cut off Fei Gen's hands and feet, and cut into a human stick.This goddamn agent was killing him.Although he played good data, he has been controversial in the country.When did he say he didn't want to stay with the Bobcats?But the media made such a news, making him look like a blind idiot.Even an idiot can see that the Bobcats have more prospects than the Warriors.

The domestic fans were full of criticism. The Bobcats were not strong inside. Second-round rookies like Landry were in the rotation. They also scored 18 points and 8 rebounds when they played against the Suns.But he was traded to the Warriors with no future.

Although Yi Jianlian's style of play is also very suitable for Nelson's small ball tactics, the Warriors also praised Yi Jianlian as the second Bosh and Nowitzki in the NBA.But the Warriors lineup is so bad, Monta Ellis only knows how to break through, can't defend, Harrington and Jackson can't figure out the difference between a shot and a bad shot, the boss Baron Davis is also a blacksmith, Jason -Richardson is not bad, but he is also a high salary and low ability. He is a player that the Warriors are eager to send away.In addition to the main force, after being robbed by the Bobcats, their substitute players are even more unqualified. Compared with staying in the Golden State Blacksmiths, fans want to see Yi Jianlian play with Hayes under D'Antoni's coaching.

After four games, the strength of the West is clearly differentiated. The Mavericks, Timberwolves, Spurs, and Suns are strong.The Trail Blazers, Hornets, Jazz, and the rebuilt Grizzlies also performed well.The Lakers struggled with a [-]-[-] record under Kobe Bryant.

The Bobcats are not all smooth sailing, because the players have internal conflicts because of the allocation of playing time.

On November 11, Okafor's agent, Jeff Schultz, communicated with Bobcats executives and asked for a transfer.Schultz was dissatisfied with Okafor's playing time. He believed that Okafor had always been the core of the Bobcats, and the team should arrange tactics for him.This is pure nonsense, Bobcats manager Rod Higgins rejected this request, Bobcats head coach is D'Antoni, how could it be possible to change tactics to positional warfare for Okafor who has no offensive ability?

Hayes has brought too many surprises to the fans recently, which made the fans happy.The former "Elvis Presley" Okafor sat on the bench, and no fans cared at all.There are even a large number of fans suggesting that the team trade Okafor. They are already addicted to watching offense. Okafor's running speed on the field is too worrying.

Poor Okafor can't get anyone's support, and now the only suspense is who can he trade?
Hayes hopes that David Lee can come. It seems a little difficult. The Rockets are not interested in Okafor and are going to focus on training David Lee.He is now the Rockets' main center.

In addition, Hayes also proposed to trade with the Blazers. Rod Higgins asked the Blazers what he meant, and the Blazers were unwilling to exchange their low-paying potential stars for Okafor, whose contract was about to expire.It can only be used for one year, and if the contract is renewed with a high salary in the second year, it will not be worth it.The fact that Okafor rejected the Bobcats' five-year, 5 million contract is known throughout the league. Not many teams are capable of giving Okafor a big contract next season.

Therefore, the Okafor deal can only be postponed.Hayes felt it was a mistake.Okafor is the person who should be traded most in the summer.If he is replaced in the summer, he should be able to exchange for a good player.

Okafor was depressed. After the training, Hayes simply invited him to his house for dinner and had a detailed talk with him.As the current boss of the team, he doesn't want to make trouble with Okafor.

Okafor didn't turn down the invitation, either.

After inviting Okafor to taste an authentic Chinese meal, Hayes and Okafor entered the study together.

"Your wife is very beautiful and virtuous. This is the most satisfying meal I have ever had as a guest at a friend's house." Okafor smiled after entering the study.Foreigners are always interested in Chinese food, and Okafor is no exception.He looked a little envious, probably envious of Hayes' good taste.

"She is really good at cooking, and I like it very much." Hayes was also very happy to hear others praise Gao Tongxuan.Now someone cooks at home, and his life is getting more and more nourishing.

The two sat on the sofa chair, and Hayes smiled and said: "Emeka, I invited you here, mainly to talk to you about the current situation. After the Bobcats played the run-and-gun tactics, your playing time was shortened. I know you're having a hard time too, so I just want to hear what you think. I have a good relationship with coaches and Jordan, so I should be able to help you."

Several deals that Hayes had hoped for, David Lee, Aldridge, and Pau Gasol were all rejected.Because of the butterfly effect, the Grizzlies have no idea of ​​trading Gasol.That cost the Bobcats a trade target.Now Hayes wants to hear Okafor's ideas, see which teams are interesting to him, and then consider making a deal that is most conducive to the development of the Bobcats.

"Chuck, how are you going to help me? My mid-range shot can't be as good as yours. Coach D'Antoni doesn't appreciate my style. My home is here. I don't want to leave, but stay here. I have There is no future." Okafor sighed.He has a good impression of Hayes, and he hopes that Hayes can say a few good words, otherwise he won't come.What he fears most is that he won't be able to leave and will be put on the bench for a season.

"I think you are very strong defensively, and you are worthy of a high-paying player. If you stay in the Bobcats as a substitute for a season, it will be very bad for you. Now the trade is really good for you and the team. I just want to ask Ask what teams are interested in you, and which team do you want to go to the most. If possible, I will suggest to the senior management and send you to your favorite team.” Hayes said, treating Yi Jianlian When, that's what he did.Only when the other party is interested can the interests be maximized. He is using reverse thinking.

Okafor said with a smile: "Chuck, you are really a good friend. We haven't known each other for a long time, and we haven't talked much. I'm very happy that you can think of me. Currently, the teams that are most interested in me are: Two teams, they called me in the summer, they are both teams with weak interior strength."

"Which two teams?" Hayes asked.

"The Bulls and the Raptors." Okafor said: "The place I most want to be is the Raptors!"

The Bulls are really not strong inside now, and the Bulls' executives are also very dissatisfied with Ben Wallace's current situation. They hope to let go of Ben Wallace's bad contract. No matter how bad Okafor's offense is, he is better than Wallace.But the Bobcats are unlikely to want a bad contract from the Bulls.They don't need other people. Luol Deng and Nocioni are good, but the Bobcats have no shortage of swingmen.Hinrich and Ben Gordon will all get worse, Noah is still very young, and his offense is also poor.The Bulls don't have the man the Bobcats need.

Raptors?Hayes's mind turned quickly, wondering what star the Raptors have.It is certainly impossible to exchange Bosh.In the end, it seems that there is only one person who is possible - Bargnani!
Isn't this the parallel import that D'Antoni and Van Gundy value!
