Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 247 [Lynx's internal line needs to reduce staff, Haiye's national team reports! 】

Blazers manager Pritchard found Bobcats manager Rod Higgins immediately after the first round of the draft. With a smile on his face, he looked like a profiteer. De, the Blazers and Bobcats are old friends now. We have a small request, can we replace Moon with DeAndre Jordan and then make that trade?"

The transaction naturally refers to the exchange of Durant and Roy Hibbert for Mayo and Moon.No matter how stupid the boss is, he also knows that DeAndre Jordan is worth more than Moon.Although DeAndre performed poorly in the training camp, he fell from the lottery to 29th.But his physical fitness is very good, and there is still potential for development.

Higgins rejected the proposal and said with a smile: "No. If you want to trade, you have to come up with equivalent bargaining chips in exchange. DeAndre went to the Bobcats for trial training, and after training, he is a defensive inside monster, no better than Heber. Very poor. Also, Mayo’s reputation in high school is similar to that of James, and he will definitely be an All-Star player in the future. If you think the trade is a disadvantage, then cancel it. The Bobcats have Wallace at the small forward, and we need the shooting guard more... "

"No, this can't be cancelled! I just proposed, let's change it according to the original plan." Pritchard shouted.

It doesn't matter if the Bobcats don't want Durant, but the Trail Blazers must trade Durant out of the team. If the deal with the Bobcats is cancelled, Durant can only exchange Jefferson back from the Nets at most.Regardless of influence or prospects, Jefferson can't compare with Mayo.Mayo was seen as the next LeBron James before going to college.

For the sake of Mayo, the Blazers had to reluctantly complete the deal.Durant is here, and the Bobcats have another piece of the championship puzzle!
Bobcats and Trail Blazers completed the deal in the draft, players have reached 18 people.

Centers: Marc Gasol, Marcin Gortat, DeAndre Jordan, Brook Lopez, Roy Hibbert.

Power forwards: Chuck Hayes, Andrea Bargnani, Carl Landry.

Small forwards: Matt Barnes, Gerald Wallace, Kevin Durant.

Shooting guards: Corunna Azubuike, Van Wever, Rudy Fernandez, Anthony Morrow.

Point guards: Rajon Rondo, Raymond Felton, George Hill.

And Calderon is still very likely to stay in the Bobcats, before the start of the season, the Bobcats must be reduced.

Fortunately, the Bobcats have the most positions inside the post, and they have taken a fancy to the scarcity of inside players in the league early on.Whenever a team finds it, Brook Lopez is not for sale, and others can choose to trade.

The most positive is the Warriors, who were extremely weak inside last season.At present, they are preparing to sign Biedrins back with a high salary. Even this is not enough. The Warriors still have no qualified backup center inside.Last season, Yi Jianlian played as a center for many games, so how can he be undefeated?This season, their first-round pick was traded to the Bobcats, regretting to the liver pain.

In the second round of the draft, the Warriors chose 211CM Serbian center Pekovic.This is the last big man available to them.Before the draft, many draft websites regarded Pekovic as a top ten rookie, but because of his contract issues with the Greek Panathinaikos team, the pick dropped a lot.Unless the contract is bought out next season, Pekovic will not be able to land in the NBA, and the Warriors will also face the situation of no insiders.

At this time, the Bobcats, which need to reduce staff and have a bunch of inside players, are undoubtedly the best trading target.The Warriors still wanted to trade Richardson, but Higgins vetoed it.What he has to do is to build a team around Hayes, trying to find players who can shoot accurately and don't need to attack with the ball.Higgins wants the Warriors to resolutely not send out the draft pick, and they don't want to be fooled by the Bobcats again.

The Magic, Pistons, Nets, Heat, Wizards and other teams also contacted the Bobcats one after another, requesting a deal.They all saw the Bobcats' bloated inside, hoping to get a tall inside from the Bobcats by lowering the bargaining chip.Gortat and Hibbert are the most attractive, and Marc Gasol and DeAndre Jordan are also asking for prices.

Jordan and Higgins were almost overjoyed.This kind of feeling is like capitalists who have monopolized a certain product. They have plenty of time, and they can sit on the ground and raise prices to exploit the "working masses" who have no insiders! As long as the transaction is completed before the start of the season.

As for how to trade, Hayes has no good suggestions. He just hopes that the upper management of the Bobcats can exchange for two powerful veterans to increase the possibility of winning the championship.In fact, with the current lineup, even if there is no veteran, Hayes is confident that he can kill other teams and win the championship.His personal offensive ability is already very strong, as long as there are pitchers around him, it is enough for other teams to suffer.

Higgins and Jordan will deal with the transaction, and Hayes will be notified if there is a transaction plan.Hayes can make some comments.

After the draft, Hayes and D'Antoni, who was the assistant coach of the Dream 8 team, flew to Las Vegas to join the national team.

The American Basketball Association originally hoped to observe the status of 33 candidates through a short-term training camp at the end of this month, and then decide on the list of national team players. However, considering the tight time to prepare for the Olympics, the American Basketball Association decided to determine the Olympic lineup in advance. First training camp.Next month, the Dream 8 team will also conduct a 6-day training camp and have a warm-up match with the Canadian team before embarking on the Olympic journey.

Since winning the gold medal in the Sydney Olympics, the US men's basketball team has not been able to reach the championship podium in subsequent international competitions. Four years ago, it only won a bronze medal in the Athens Olympics.It was also the first defeat since the United States sent NBA players to the Olympics in 4.

"Old K" coach Mike Szeselsky said that although the players still need to adapt to some international rules, he believes that this team is still the best in the world.Therefore, their goal of this Olympic Games is only one: champion!

Last year, in the American Men's Basketball Championship and Olympic qualifiers, the US team led by Kobe, James, Anthony, Kidd and Howard won the championship with a record of victory and won the right to participate in the Olympic Games.

"Old K" coach hopes to bring veteran Kidd.

Kidd has not yet tasted a defeat in the 44 games he participated in in the United States. Although he was once frustrated after transferring to the Mavericks, the outside world believes that he is the best hope for the US team to regain the gold medal, and even his status is higher than that of Kobe Bryant, the little emperor James and above Anthony.His ability has long been recognized, he knows how to pinch the team, how to organize the team's offense, Kidd can adapt to the rules and rhythm of FIBA.The US team wants to regain the gold medal, first of all it needs team chemistry, which is exactly what Kidd is best at, and it also proves his importance.Looking back at the 2002, 2006 World Championships and the 2004 Athens Olympics, the team's poor coordination was the biggest crux of the failure.

But because of a knee injury in the playoffs, Kidd decided to rest at home and give up the Olympics for health reasons.Pistons guard Billups wanted to spend the holidays with his family, but the national team was short of people, so he stood up and was selected instead of Kidd.

In Hayes' impression, the "little bully" Stoudemire, who should be absent due to injury, also came alive and kicking.Ray Allen also unexpectedly appeared in the national team.In Hayes' previous life, Ray Allen was very tired because he won the championship with the Celtics. Together with Garnett and Pierce, he politely declined the invitation of the national team.

But now, the Celtics were swept by the Magic in the first round of the playoffs.Ray Allen held back his energy and had nowhere to go, and wanted to vent it to the Olympics.Because of the appearance of these two people, Jazz Boozer and Bucks Reed lost the national team.

Hayes' replacement is probably Prince of the Pistons.With Hayes' all-round performance, the Dream 8 team doesn't need Prince who is good at defense.

Mengba has assembled in Las Vegas and started its first training camp.On the first day, all players put on new jerseys and had a two-hour training session.

不仅仅是阵容改变，连球衣号码也和预选赛有了很大的不同。詹姆斯将由9号换成6号，而韦德由6号换成9号。奥运会只能穿4—15号球衣，海耶斯选择了4号，安东尼则是8号改为15号。

As soon as Hayes reported for duty, the old coach K gave him an important task, appointing him to be the captain together with Kobe and James.

The national team is full of stars. Kobe is considered a veteran in the team. James and Hayes have the strongest personal abilities. Coach K thinks this is a more reasonable arrangement.

The first group confrontation.Hayes, James, Billups, Wade, Howard, Ray Allen in a team, wearing red vests; Paul, Kobe, Anthony, Bosh, Stoudemire, Deron Williams Divide into groups to wear blue vests.The two sides played a practice match that was not very intense.

As a result, the red team won with an overwhelming advantage when Wade was used as a substitute.Several coaches were surprised.

The red team's tactic is that James breaks through with the ball when he has the opportunity, Hayes is the core inside, and the success rate of one-on-one attack is extremely high. Billups and Ray Allen can also hit three-pointers when passing out.Although the basketball team is also a group of stars, they fight on their own and only rely on their individual abilities to play.

But this is only the first day, and the starting lineup has not yet been determined.The Dream 8 team has only 12 people and cannot conduct high-intensity confrontation.In a few days, after the sparring team is selected, they will start the real training.

"Chuck, the speed at which you're improving is really frightening. You'll be the one to grab points inside the Olympics." After training, Kobe and Hayes chatted and walked to the waiting room side by side.

"I'm an insider, and I still need you on the outside," Hayes said.

"I'm going to focus on defense this time. My fingers are not good, and my shooting is not good. We can't lose this game." Kobe smiled wryly.This is his first time participating in the Olympics, and he really wants to get a gold medal soon.

Hayes remembered that Kobe was indeed defensive in the Olympics.But it doesn't matter, there are too many stars in this team.James, Anthony, and Wade are not good at grabbing points. Hayes only practiced once, and he felt very refreshed.As long as the defense is attracted and the ball is distributed outside, the teammates can throw the ball in.Although Kidd didn't come, the US team has an invincible lineup this time.

"How can our group of people lose together? Our goal should be to win every game, just like the Dream Team. In the future, when someone mentions the strongest American team, they can also think of us." Hayes said loudly.

"That's right! I agree with your statement." The old coach K just passed by Hayes and smiled.

Wade and Anthony behind him also responded.

What Hayes said casually became the goal of the Dream 8 team in the Olympics.
