Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 210 [The transaction is completed, Rondo is here! 】

Everyone discussed for half an hour, and finally decided to propose a deal to the Blazers.

Bobcats manager Rod Higgins called Trail Blazers manager Kevin Pritchard, first told the Bobcats' interest in Durant, and then told the team's difficulties. The Bobcats didn't want to give up this season, so It is impossible for Gortat and Wallace to leave the team at this time.If it does, the Bobcats will have a flawed roster that won't make a difference in the playoffs.So if you want to trade, you have to wait until the end of the season, the Bobcats are willing to pay equivalent chips.

Kevin Pritchard was very disappointed.The Bobcats can wait until the end of the season, but if the Blazers do not carry out internal reinforcement, it is impossible to hit the playoffs.

At this time, Higgins said: "I know that the Blazers need to strengthen the inside line. We can ignore Durant's matter and make other transactions. We can send Raymond Sessions you like, and bring another An inside player, Chris Humphries, whose rebounding ability Hayes also recognizes, is a qualified blue-collar, with a contract of 3 million for 930 years. All you need to pay is the backup point guard Rajon Rondo and Fernandez Signing rights. This is a small cooperation, which is definitely beneficial to you. The two people we traded are of little use to us, but we have maintained the integrity of the lineup. What do you think? Wait until the summer, we can also Make bigger deals."

"Can this big man be replaced by Carl Landry?" Pritchard asked.

Higgins said with a smile: "Carl is now the Bobcats' key training target. You have seen his performance this season. He is not inferior to Durant. If it weren't for our Hayes, Carl played 30 minutes per game. You can even compete for the best rookie. This is impossible. You bought Fernandez from the Suns for only 300 million. No one knows what he can do. We are sending Sessions and Humphries now, it is already a safe profit for you. We are doing this to build friendship and prepare for a bigger deal in the future. Please think about it. If you don’t agree, there is no loss for us .”

"Then I'll think about it and give you an answer within an hour," Pritchard said.

For the Blazers, things cannot be delayed.Tomorrow is the 22nd, which is the trading deadline.Therefore, the transaction must be completed today, and the contract must be signed and reported to the alliance.He immediately convened a meeting to analyze the pros and cons of the deal.

Trail Blazers coach McMillan believes that the transaction is worthwhile, and the Blazers are the ones who benefit.

Team experts have analyzed Fernandez's situation many times. Since he has not yet arrived in the United States, the only basis for judging Fernandez's strength is his performance in the international arena.

As a member of the Spanish national team, Fernandez participated in the 04 Athens Olympics, averaging 10.6 points in 5.1 minutes per game. The following year, he participated in the 05 European Championships. His playing time increased, but the data became worse. He averaged only 16.3 points in 2.7 minutes, and only shot 31.6% of the field. The third time he participated in the World Series with the Spanish national team was in the 06 World Championships. In this game, he became an important member of the team , averaging 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game, and won the gold medal with the team.

Fernandez's speed is fast, his explosive power is amazing, he has the physical fitness that can rival black players, and his skills are comprehensive.But he is 198cm tall and weighs only 84kg. His thin body can hardly adapt to NBA-level confrontation.Poor confrontation ability, easy to get injured.The advantage of running and jumping ability will be weakened in the NBA, and it is difficult to predict how much his personal attack power will be discounted.The defensive aspect is more likely to become the team's weakness.

Therefore, McMillan believes that keeping Fernandez is a very risky thing.Although Humphries is a marginal player in the Bobcats, it is because the Bobcats are very strong inside.With Hayes and Biedrins two players averaging double figures in rebounds per game, Humphries has no chance to play.

As for Rajon Rondo.McMillan had given him up long ago.

Rondo played only 17 minutes, averaging 4.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1 steal per game.The shooting percentage is only 40.4%, and the three-point shooting percentage is 22%.Rondo's shooting is terrible, and he often misses open shots. The only bright spot is his defense. He is very active in rebounding.The point guard can't shoot and grabs rebounds. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?McMillan has been letting Rondo practice shooting, and he has never been able to improve.

Both of them are players that McMillan doesn't like, so naturally they won't feel distressed.He said with affirmation: "Let's just trade like this. It's not that we haven't contacted other teams. There is no better plan than this. Other teams just value Durant and want to send their own garbage contracts. Only the Bobcats are Sincerely, I think they really like Durant and want to include him in the team in the summer. We must seize this opportunity. Felton will be a substitute in the Bobcats, and there is no such thing as Rondo. If it's useful, maybe it will be cut off in summer."

Pritchard asked: "Will you increase Durant's playing time and shots in the second half of the season, let him use statistics to increase his value?"

McMillan said: "Roy is a person who needs to attack with the ball. If Durant can't adapt to his role in the team, I will only let him sit on the bench. If he increases the number of shots, it is impossible for us to enter the season. Playoffs. The deal with the Bobcats can indeed strengthen our strength, don't hesitate."

Pritchard frowned and said: "However, if Durant can't play his worth, it is impossible for us to use him to pack Szczerbiak and trade Bobcats Wallace and Gortat. Bobcats manager Higgin Szczerbiak is obviously not interested. We have to find a way to deal with his bad contract. I admit that trading Randolph in exchange for Szczerbiak was ill-considered. His state is too bad. , we can only let him stay in the team until the contract expires in 2009."

"Let's take one step at a time. At least now we are making money." McMillan said lightly: "The Bobcats have a strong lineup now, and they don't need to make risky big deals at all. We are different. Every team will attack. Our inside line. I really wonder why the players who failed to be drafted by the Rockets last season are so strong? They just won the championship. How come we haven’t met players like Hayes and Azubuike How about the Bobcats? Luckily, Gortat and Sessions were both treasures picked up in the summer, especially Sessions. When the main point guard was injured, this kid played all-star numbers consecutively. He was very hardworking. He has strong organizational skills. He signed a 4-year low-salary contract. After training, he should be able to become a useful assistant for Roy and Aldridge. We must get him here."

Sessions was the player that McMillan called for. In his eyes, Sessions was much more valuable than Rondo.When Hayes was absent, Sessions and Wallace's pick-and-roll cooperation supported the Bobcats' offense, which was obviously more suitable for his pick-and-roll offensive tactical system.

The information of several players involved in the transaction was put on the table. After some discussion, the Blazers uniform team believed that the transaction was feasible, and Pritchard called Higgins back.After agreeing to the transaction, the two parties immediately drafted the contract text, signed it on the same day, and reported it to the alliance.The deal was done at the last minute.

Once the deal was concluded, Hayes and Gao Tongxuan had a candlelight dinner at home to celebrate. After the meal, dance music was played, and the two danced at home.

"I haven't asked yet, what day is today? Why did you suddenly become romantic?" Gao Tongxuan asked nervously by Hayes' side.

Why are you nervous?Generally, when men suddenly create such an atmosphere, they often have important things to say.What important things could the two of them have?Today is not the birthday of the two of them, Gao Tongxuan couldn't help but think of a marriage proposal.Perhaps, he and Tyler had secretly discussed something and planned to surprise me.

As a result, what Hayes said made Gao Tongxuan almost lame.

"If we're happy, we can spend Valentine's Day every day. To say what to celebrate, the Bobcats have completed another deal in exchange for a very good player," Hayes said.

Gao Tongxuan thought it was a little funny, and felt a little bit lost. This is Hayes' style. After finally being a little romantic, it still has something to do with basketball.But because of his character, Gao Tongxuan is not jealous of Taylor. Hayes seems to like basketball more than his lover.

The transaction was completed very quickly. On the second day, Rondo reported to the Bobcats with his luggage.

Rondo is dark and thin, which makes his eyes look large and innocent.Hayes found that he was a bit like Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault".

Hayes still remembers that in his previous life, Magic Johnson commented on Rondo: "He is the most comprehensive point guard today, and no one can even come close to his level." Linked to the most complete point guard.

Even in his previous life, Rondo wasn't comprehensive.Until 2010, he was also not good at outside shooting and could only break through and score.thought Hayes.

But in exchange for the Rondo Bobcats, they made money anyway.Since Bargnani was injured and the Bobcats lost consecutive games, they gave up pure running and bombing tactics.D'Antoni also realized that it is difficult to win a championship with pure running and bombing. It is the right choice to do a good job of defense while ensuring offense.

Rondo is not good at shooting and may not be suitable for running and bombing, but he can play other tactics. In Van Gundy's tactical system, Rondo is a good player.Because Rondo is one of the best defensive point guards, except that he is not good at shooting, he is outstanding in other aspects.Van Gundy even likes Fisher, who has old arms and legs, and his speed is getting slower and slower, let alone Rondo?With Rondo coming, the Bobcats' back line defense will definitely improve.

Running and bombing tactics are not necessary, it is king to defeat the opponent in various ways.

Taking a hundred steps back, even if Rondo was brought to the Bobcats to be raised as a waste on the bench, it would be better than staying outside and accidentally playing at a high level to help other teams deal with the Bobcats.Cao Cao tried his best to recruit Xu Shu. Although it was useless, he was very satisfied. This is the reason.

"Hey, Rajon, I proposed the trade. Do you know why I want you to come to the Bobcats?" Hayes grabbed Rondo's shoulders and smiled.

Rondo blinked nervously, smiled wryly, "I don't know..."

"Because the Bobcats have four first-round picks, there are too many people in the team. If you don't clean up a few garbage contracts, you will have no place to sign good players next season." Hayes laughed.

What does he mean by that?Are you going to lay me off after this season?I'm just here, so hit me like this?Hayes turned out to be such a person? !Rondo almost cried.He also wanted to beat Hayes, but he was afraid he couldn't beat him.

Seeing Rondo's expression, Hayes smiled even more happily.The teammates hid far away, no matter how they looked, they looked like Zhengtai and Uncle Wei were having a conversation.

"Don't look like that, I'm joking. The Bobcats really need to vacate the roster, but as long as you are willing to play hard in the next game, not only will you not be cut, but I will also speak good words for you and let you renew your contract in advance. You are traded here because I think you have a good defense and good vision, and I hope you can strengthen the Bobcats' defense at the No. [-] position. I am very optimistic about you."

The news said that Hayes is a good man, and the Bobcats are also very harmonious.Rondo immediately realized that he had been tricked, and said with a smile: "I will definitely work hard."

With the arrival of Rondo, the Bobcats are getting stronger and stronger.If Durant can be successfully traded in the summer, even if they can only play 8% of the power that Hayes remembers, the Bobcats are still a very terrifying team!
