Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 89 [Sudden Transaction]

Taylor Swift's concert is in the final stages of preparation.Chuck Hayes missed the team's morning practice for concert rehearsal.In the afternoon, he took some tickets to the arena.

Hayes arrived earlier, and the training hadn't started yet. Only Weaver and Moon were playing heads-up in the arena.He found that Alstom was sitting on the sidelines in casual clothes, looking lonely, and he suddenly thought that Alston might have been traded.

"I'm here. What are you talking about?" Hayes sat next to Alston and smiled.

"Chuck, I won't have a chance to pass the ball to you in the future." Alston said with a bitter face.

"What's wrong?" Hayes asked knowingly.

"I was traded to the Jazz, and I'm going to take a plane tonight for a physical examination. Damn, I really hope I fail the physical examination." Alston showed a wry smile, and then said in one breath: "I actually went to that shitty place And I went to be Deron Williams's backup, I went from a championship team to a first-round backup in the playoffs. Brother, you fight for the championship, I can only fight for the playoffs Sai, in this situation, what energy do I have to play? I have been very happy recently. We have won 23 consecutive victories. I think we are invincible. If we continue to play like this, we will definitely win the championship. With you, Tracy , fighting side by side with Yao Ming is the most proud thing in my life. Although my performance is unstable, I am the starter of this team. I want to do better every day. I feel that I am a part of this team. Molecule, I'm proud of this... But, no one informed me, I didn't know anything, they suddenly told me that I was traded. It seems that all the grades have nothing to do with me now. I'm more like this ball The burden of the team. Chuck, tell me, am I really that bad? Do they think we can’t win the championship if I’m here?”

"No... Raff, you are a very good player." Hayes took a deep breath and said lightly.He suddenly felt like an asshole.Originally the Rockets only wanted to send Howard and Hyde, but now it has become Alston, which has nothing to do with his suggestion.He wanted to win the championship too much, but he didn't consider the feelings of his teammates.

Alston is the person who jokes the most with Hayes in the Rockets. They often eat and joke together.On the plane, we often sit together and chat about basketball.Teammates often say that Alston is the talkative donkey next to Shrek and the princess.Not only did Alstom have no objection to this appellation, he was also very happy.Alston was a good friend.Without him, the Rockets locker room will be much deserted.No one bragging about being good at talking trash anymore, no more fans shouting "SkipToMyLou!"

However, Alston's departure means that Fisher is here.The Rockets' back line defense will become stronger.The hope of winning the championship has increased by one point.

Hayes was surprised.Because the Rockets are in full swing, with more than 20 consecutive victories, the management has no reason to rush to make a deal. He originally thought that the deal with the Jazz would fall through.

"Raff, I know it's useless to persuade you, so I won't say more. I hope you can achieve results there." Hayes said.

"I'm very optimistic. I've changed teams four times. I was the happiest when I came to the Rockets from the Raptors, and I'm the most disappointed this time. Be prepared." Alston said with a smile, "I want to complain when I'm leaving."

"Come on, I'm a good listener." Hayes laughed.He often heard Alston complain, and he was used to it.

"I think this team is very inhumane, Alexander is a bastard!" Alston said in shock, angrily said: "Some teams trade the main players of the team, and they lose too badly. They have to tear down and rebuild, but I didn't expect a team to send people away in such a good way to hit the championship. I feel very disrespectful, they act like I don't exist. Thinking about our lineup last year, most people were sent away , We seem to have changed a team. Now Juwan (Howard) and I are gone. Last year, only Yao Ming, Tracy, and Dikembe were left in the lineup. Except for Yao, the Rockets, Anyone can be traded. It's just business! Including Yao Ming! Because Yao has a Chinese market behind him, and Alexander relies on this to make money."

Hayes smiled bitterly, he didn't know what to say.Is that true?

According to the history he knows, the Rockets have indeed changed everyone except Yao Ming.Yao Ming will not be traded, he is the "cash cow" of the Rockets.By 2011, he had increased Alexander's assets from 5 million to 12 billion.What did Yao Ming get in return?The Rockets traded away all the teammates Yao Ming liked and gave Yao Ming a lot of playing time.

In the 2009-2010 season, Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season.Looking forward to the new season, Alexander said: "For eight years, I have wanted to see the team play a run-and-gun style game. I am very eager."

That was the past, and Hayes felt the Rockets were different.Now, the Rockets have found David Lee for Yao Ming, and their inside line is strong enough.History should be changed because of him!Hayes strengthened his belief that the Rockets could build a dynasty.In the hearts of Chinese fans, the Rockets are China's home team.

"Is Juwan gone too?" Hayes asked.

"Well, he went to the Jazz with me. The deal was so sudden that we didn't know anything about it before. It's hard for me to accept such a good result and be sent away suddenly, and Zhu Wan is even more angry... Alas, if If you want to say goodbye to him, just make a call." Alston said, stood up and patted Hayes on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chuck, I'm going back to clean up. The next time we meet again , we are opponents, I am optimistic that you can win the championship."

Alston greeted Weaver and Moon and left the arena.

Hayes looked at Alston's leaving back and suddenly felt a little sad.

This is the NBA.It's the same for everyone. It's not just some unknown players who are turned around. Big-name players sometimes can't avoid this kind of encounter. NBA players are completely commodities.

Will he be packaged and traded one day?Maybe soon, maybe when he loses value on the court, Hayes doesn't know, he can only strive to be a good commodity.

Alston has not said with whom he will be swapped.After a while, Van Gundy came to the training ground and had a detailed talk with Hayes.

Boozer was injured last week and will have to rest for a month. The Jazz recently suffered a four-game losing streak.

Whether it is the fans or the Jazz executives, they are beginning to be dissatisfied with the Jazz's current lineup.With the rise of boozer and deron williams, plus the offensive center okur, the former all-star swingman kirilenko, the jazz lineup looks strong this season, they are confident Into the playoffs, but how far it can go is a question.

The Jazz's shooting guard position is a flaw. Ronnie Brewer knows how to break through, and the teenager Miles is unstable. They can only use Derek Fisher to play shooting guard.Moreover, their bench lineup is relatively weak, and the only really capable substitutes are Matt Harprin and Gordon Girisek.

Both Fisher and Millsap are physically strong but lack scoring ability.

The day before yesterday, the Jazz lost to the not very strong Hornets by 35 points.Millsap played just seven minutes in garbage time and scored no points.Now that he is in the Jazz, he can only be Harprin's substitute. During the four-game losing streak, he averaged 7 points and 2 rebounds per game. He is a marginal player who can't play the ball.The Jazz didn't know what the Rockets were looking for in him. Apart from being muscular and able to grab a few rebounds as a blue-collar player, there was nothing special about him.If the Rockets like this type of player, why didn't they just pick them in the second round of the draft?

Another veteran, Derek Fisher, started the game against the Hornets for 20 minutes, making 9 of 1 shots and scoring only 3 points.The most important thing for a shooting guard is the shooting rate. Fisher is obviously unqualified. During the four-game losing streak, he averaged 5.4 points and 2.2 assists per game, and his shooting rate was only 33.1%.And his average shooting percentage this season is only 37%.As for playing point guard as Deron's substitute, Fisher only had 2.4 assists, which was even more disappointing.

At first, Jazz head coach Sloan disagreed with the trade because he valued Fisher's defense.However, the Jazz managers and owners believe that after the end of this season, Fisher's contract will expire, and it will take a lot of thought to keep him at that time.Fisher is already a 32-year-old veteran, and his speed has begun to slow down. It is unknown how many years he can maintain his state. In the eyes of the Jazz uniform team, Fisher is just a tasteless existence, so it is better to send him away early.

The Jazz, who had a poor record, decided to take the initiative to contact the Rockets to negotiate a deal.The last few days of the trade deadline is the peak trading period. The Jazz can't wait for that time. They are ready to use trades to strengthen the lineup as soon as possible to solve the problem of Deron Williams and Boozer playing too long.

They want to find a substitute, Howard and Hyde proposed by the Rockets before will not work.

Luther - Hyde is what level, Deron - Williams is very clear.They are very good friends.When interviewed by the media, both of them once said that they are like brothers.Deron Williams was conflicted when told that Hyde might be traded to the Jazz.He very much hopes that his friend can join the Jazz, and they also have a tacit understanding.However, the Rockets are now number one in the league. If Hyde really came, he might not be happy. He felt that this deal was like ruining his friend's chance to win the championship.After thinking about it, he told the Jazz executives that Hyde's style was not suitable for the Jazz.

The Jazz continued to chase Alston.That is the starting point guard of the Rockets. If they want to use Fisher Gamillsap and a fringe player to change, it is obviously impossible to change.

After some discussions, the Jazz proposed some changes to the content of the transaction. The Rockets exchanged Juwan Howard and Alstom for Derek Fisher, Paul Millsap and the first-round pick for next season.

Dawson agreed to the deal after consulting with Van Gundy.Van Gundy's reason is simple. When Fisher comes, the Rockets' point guard will strengthen their defense. As long as there are no injuries, they will win the championship. With Tracy McGrady and Hayes in assists, there will be no problem.

The Jazz found substitutes for Boozer and Deron Williams, and they are very satisfied.

The arrival of Fisher and Millsap can also improve the Rockets' defense and bring valuable playoff experience.The Rockets' reinforcement this season has finally been completed, and their lineup has almost no weaknesses!

------------segmentation------------

The streetball king is gone.His offense is good, but his defense is a bit poor.Howard is definitely a bad contract, and this burden has also been thrown to the Jazz.The Rockets have formed a super lineup!If everyone is satisfied with this transaction, please count the tickets and collect them for Rabbit Grass!Grateful!
