Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 282 [Trouble of happiness! 】

Bobcats from management to players feel that the schedule is a little too smooth.In fact, someone did a little bit of manipulation in the schedule, and that was David Stern.

This season, Stern made a series of adjustments to the NBA league management, preparing to start promoting the league's new image.Put an end to star whistle, home whistle, and make NBA games more fair.

As Hayes, the spokesperson for the league image favored by Stern, if he doesn't get any benefits at all, it doesn't fit Stern's character at all, so he ordered people to make a slight change in the schedule.

Modifying a team's schedule is just a matter of words for David Stern.This is nothing compared to manipulating the game.

The most vivid example, because of the schedule, the NBA officially put a "big own goal". In the 2011 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Griffin defeated McGee and won the title of Slam Dunk King, but it was widely questioned afterwards.It's not because Griffin's slam dunk is not as difficult as McGee, but his slam dunk champion is predetermined!

American reporter Ben Moeller reported that before Griffin participated in the slam dunk contest, NBA officials directly said that the Clippers champion won the championship in the schedule.While reporting this fact, Moller also posted an ironclad proof - a screenshot of the official schedule of the day!

It is not difficult for fans to see through the screenshots that before the slam dunk contest, Griffin was already called the champion.In the official announcement of the schedule, there is a column that reads: "Five middle school students will participate in this event to show their talents to the 2011 NBA Sprite Dunk Contest champion."

According to the schedule, this event will be held from 1:20 to 2:6 pm local time, while the dunk contest will be held at 4:[-] pm local time.It can be seen that as early as [-] hours before the slam dunk contest, the NBA officials had already set the result of the game.

In addition to the schedule, Moeller also further confirmed through the emails received by reporters.Moeller said NBA event organizers sent reporters a schedule of events at 5:28 p.m., which included the above.This once again confirms that before the slam dunk contest (6 o'clock) was held, the NBA had already designated Griffin as the slam dunk contest champion.It is worth mentioning that before the start of the game, the relevant content has been changed in the second schedule sent to reporters by the NBA official.In doing so, it is undoubtedly the practice of discovering a loophole and making up for it.

To corroborate the above facts, Moeller also interviewed a staff member of the popular website Griffin WAS.The staff member said that they did receive the news that Griffin won the final championship before he participated in the slam dunk contest.In addition, relevant preparations and special topics have been carried out for this purpose. After Griffin is officially announced as the champion, it will be posted on the website.

Before Moller reported Griffin, some people suspected that the All-Star Game awards were unfair.The previous Kings rookie DeMarcus Cousins ​​played 30+10 data, but he didn't win the MVP of the rookie game, so it was considered unfair.In the slam dunk contest, Wizards player McGee's two dunks - two dunks and three basketball dunks, respectively, are considered peerless and deserved to win the championship.But Griffin finally won the championship with 68% of the votes, which is indeed strange.

It can be seen that many things in the NBA are really being manipulated.It was easy for Stern to change the Bobcats' schedule, and it was hard to be noticed.Because the opponents of the Bobcats remain the same, only a little adjustment has been made in the timing of the match. For example, in a back-to-back game, the first opponent of the Bobcats is the Lakers, and the second opponent will not arrange a strong team like the Timberwolves. The team let the Bobcats play to adjust their status.When the Bobcats encounter a strong enemy, they can arrange for the opponent to play back-to-back games first, so that the Bobcats can take the physical advantage.

If the away game schedule is particularly tight, it is common to play 4 or 5 away games in a row in the NBA.In this case, it will not be arranged for the Bobcats to face the top three in Texas, and then play the Lakers and Eagles after the end...

Last season, the Timberwolves, which Stern didn't like very much, encountered such a devil's schedule in the regular season, otherwise their record would definitely be better.

Except for extremely careful people, such things will not be discovered at all.Stern's support for Hayes is not as obvious as condoning James' "crab step" and Kobe's "body hair foul", which is already within a fair range.What specific results can be played depends on the strength of the Bobcats.

On this day, Michael Jordan went to the Time Warner Arena to watch the players train again.

In the group confrontation, Hayes did not play.

The combination of Rondo, Morrow, Durant, Landry, and Lopez has a big lead over Billups, Azubuike, Miller, Bargnani, and Camby's main team.

Durant's confidence has been fully demonstrated. He and his teammates cooperate very well in the pick-and-roll. Whether it is Bargnani or Miller, it is very difficult to defend against Durant.Rondo also broke into the restricted area many times, sending good balls to assist Morrow and Landry.Lopez pulled up to the high position to cover Durant again and again, and his offensive distance was much farther than Camby's.Camby is very good at blocking shots inside, but pulling up to the high post and defending jump shots is not his strong point.

"Michael, the Bulls' record is likely to be broken this season." Hayes observed Jordan's expression and smiled.

"It would be great if you can break 72 wins. A team with more than 65 wins will almost certainly win the championship. In 2007, if the Rockets attacked with you or Yao Ming as the core and let McGrady find an opportunity to be a shooter on the outside, that would be great. The record may have been broken long ago. If the Bobcats can achieve this result, I am very happy." Jordan looked ahead, recalling his past, and smiled: "I have a hunch that you will definitely break this record."

"I think so too, because the current lineup of the Bobcats may have surpassed the Bulls of the year." Hayes laughed.

In the first round, Gerald Wallace and Durant are definitely not comparable to Pippen and Jordan.But Hayes is stronger than Rodman, and the Bobcats' bench strength is even stronger than that of the Bulls.

"Chuck, you have a good eye for people. Kevin (Durant) is playing like an All-Star here, better than Mayo. Brook (Lopez) is also a good center. The unbelievable are Carl (Landry), Anthony (Moro) and Marc (Gasol). It is not easy for a second-round rookie to play at the current level." Jordan sighed: "As long as you can see it every year so accurately , we can surely establish a dynasty.”

"It's all luck. In the future, if we trade or select players, we should still proceed from the perspective of suitable tactics, and there will be no problems, but no one can say for sure what level we can play." Hayes laughed.His draft talent only lasts until 2009. He doesn't know which of the 2010 rookies played better.

At this time, Durant once again used the cover of his teammates to break through, and made a basketball and caused a foul by Camby, scoring 2 plus 1.Jordan clapped his hands a few times, and said: "If you want to keep Kevin in the future, it seems that you have to use a high salary. I think he will definitely become an All-Star in the future if he continues to play in this state."

"Kevin must stay. A lot of people's contracts will expire in a few years. We can't keep everyone. If the salary can't be controlled, I can jump out of the contract and cut the salary." Hayes proposed road.

"Are you really willing to do this? Your performance will definitely be a billion-dollar contract in four years." Jordan looked at Hayes and smiled.

"Really. Brook is also very promising. If he becomes an All-Star in a year or two, and with the contracts of Chauncey and Gerrard, how can we keep so many stars in our team? We will have to face it in the next year, but now we should make a plan and prepare for it. When trading in the last two years, we must consider this aspect. Otherwise, we will definitely be taken advantage of by other teams in the future." Hayes said seriously.

Hayes is no longer short of money, and the cost of advertising endorsements is higher than the annual salary of a player. In this case, he feels that it doesn't matter whether he gets the maximum salary or not. The important thing is to win the championship. Within 5 years, he will definitely be able to maintain a good condition, but what about after he turns 30? After the age of 35?The Bobcats still need to attract talent.

Hayes thought very clearly about the contract renewal of future teammates. After the two-year contract of Camby and Miller expires, the Bobcats will definitely not be able to renew their contracts with high salaries. The two of them came because the Bobcats have too many young players. The performance of the postseason will be affected, and experienced veterans are needed. Two years later, Lopez and Gasol can grow up inside, and there are Azubuike, Wallace, Durant and others on the outside, Camby and Miller If you want to stay, unless you are willing to get a one-year contract of 200 million yuan or a veteran's basic salary, this is very unrealistic.

In addition, Billups is already very old after his contract expires, and he certainly cannot renew his contract with a high salary.Billups' contract for the 2011-12 season is a team option. The Bobcats can choose to pay Billups a salary of 1420 million for another year, or buy out Billups' contract for 370 million.

In this way, an annual salary of nearly 3000 million can be vacated. It is not difficult to renew Durant and then renew Lopez.After the end of this season, Rondo must find a way to stay in the team.In this way, once Billups leaves the team, the Bobcats' point guard position will not drop very badly.But it is too difficult for Bargnani, Landry and others to renew their contracts with low salaries. When their contracts expire, they will almost definitely leave the team.

The training game continued, and Durant scored again.Jordan stood up and shouted hello.In addition to Hayes, Jordan's favorite person now is Durant.As a super scorer, Jordan naturally likes people who can score.

"Kevin is better than Mayo! He's great!" Jordan said again.

Mayo's performance in the Trail Blazers was not too eye-catching, averaging 13.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1 steal per game.In addition to the assist data, it is behind Durant in an all-round way.

Now the Blazers are a bit regretful about the trade, and Durant seems to be more suitable for pick-and-roll tactics than Brandon Roy.They didn't realize this at the time.Now the roles of Roy and Mayo overlap a bit, and there are still problems in the distribution of ball rights.In the 8 games played, the Blazers have 5 wins and 3 losses.

This is not to say that Roy affects the development of his teammates, but is a cancer.It's that Blazers coach McMillan doesn't know how to make Durant and Roy cooperate.Roy is already a top 2 player at the 5nd position in the league this season. His biggest advantage is his high golf quotient and reasonable playing.But his ability in all aspects is average, nothing is particularly outstanding, and his comprehensive strength is not outstanding among first-line stars.

Durant's talent is more suitable for breaking up than Roy.Therefore, the Bobcats made Durant the number one firepower on the perimeter, taking more shots than Hayes, and his scoring ability was developed at once.

The Bobcats also have some problems. There are too many players who can play. After Anthony Morrow played a good game, it is inevitable that he will be called out of the rotation.There are also Weaver, Marc Gasol and others. They can play a role as long as they play, but they are the most marginal players in the Bobcats.

Bobcats encountered "happiness troubles."
