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

Hayes arrived early, before training began, and only Weaver and Moon were in the arena head-to-head. He spotted Alston sitting on the sidelines in civilian clothes, looking lonely, and it occurred to him that Alston might have been traded.

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

"Chuck, I won't get a chance to pass 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 fly to the medical tonight. Damn, I wish I hadn't passed the exam. Alston smiled wryly, and then said in one breath, "I actually went to that place." And I went to the bench, most likely, Deron Williams, and I went from a championship team to a first-round playoff substitute. Brother, you are trying to win the championship, I can only try to make the playoffs, in this case, what else do I have to play? I've been happy lately, we've won 23 in a row, I think we're invincible, and if we keep playing like this, we're going to win the title. Fighting alongside you, Tracy, and Yao Ming is the proudest thing in my life. Even though I've been inconsistent, I'm a starter for this team and I want to do better every day, I feel like I'm part of this team and I'm proud of that...... However, no one informed me, I didn't know anything, and they suddenly told me that I was being traded. It seems that all the results have nothing to do with me now. I'm more of a burden to this team. Chuck, you tell me, am I really that bad? Do they think that with me, we won't be able to win the championship? ”

"No...... Raf, you're a good player. Hayes took a deep breath and said lightly. He suddenly felt like a jerk. Originally, the Rockets only wanted to send Howard and Hyde, but now it has become Alstom, which has nothing to do with his suggestion. He wanted to win the championship too much, but he didn't think about the feelings of his teammates.

Alston was the one who joked the most with Hayes on the Rockets, and they often ate together and joked around. On the plane, they often sit together and talk about basketball. Teammates often say that Alstom is the chattering donkey next to Shrek and the princess. Alstom, not only did not have an opinion on this title, but was also very happy. Alstom is a good friend. Without him, the Rockets locker room would be much more deserted. No one brags about being a trash-talker, and when you score a good goal at home, the fans don't shout "skiptomylou!" anymore. ”

However, Alstom's departure meant that Fisher had arrived. The Rockets' guard line defense will be stronger. The hopes of winning the championship are one more point higher.

Hayes was surprised. Because the Rockets are in full swing, with more than 20 consecutive wins, the management has no reason to rush to trade, and he originally thought that the deal with the Jazz was going to be lost.

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

'I'm very open-minded, I've changed teams four times. I was happiest when I came to the Rockets from the Raptors, and I was the most disappointed when I went this time. That's the NBA, and almost everyone has been traded. Even if you're playing well now, be prepared. Alstom laughed: "I'm leaving, I want to scratch my hair." ”

"Say, I'm a good listener." Hayes laughed. He often listened to Alstom's hair tickling, and he had long been used to it.

"I don't think this team has a surname, Alexander is a bastard!" Alston said angrily: "Some teams traded the main players in the team, and they lost too badly and wanted to tear down and rebuild, but I didn't expect that there would also be teams that would drive people away in the good form of attacking the championship." I feel so undignified, they are like when I don't exist. Think about our squad last year, most of them were sent away, we were like a different team. Now that Zhu Wan and I are gone, there are only Yao Ming, Tracy, and Deacon Bay left in last year's lineup. Rockets can be traded by anyone other than Yao. It's just business! Including Yao Ming! Because Yao has the Chinese market behind him, Alexander makes money from this. ”

Hayes smiled wryly, he didn't know what to say. Is that really the case?

The history he knew, the rocket did change people almost all over except for Yao Ming. Yao Ming will not be traded, he is the "cash cow" of the Rockets. By 2011, he had doubled Alexander's assets from $500 million to $1.2 billion. What did Yao Ming get in return? The Rockets traded all of Yao Ming's favorite teammates away and gave Yao Ming a lot of playing time.

In the 2009-2010 season, Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season. Looking ahead to the new season, Alexander said: "I've wanted to see the team play in a run-and-gun style for eight years and I'm very hungry. ”

That was in the past, and Hayes felt that the Rockets were different. Now, the Rockets have brought David Lee to Yao Ming, and their interior line is strong enough. History should change because of him! Hayes was firm in his belief that the Rockets could build a dynasty. In the hearts of Chinese fans, the Rockets are China's home team.

"Is Zhu Wan also gone?" Hayes asked.

"Well, he went to jazz with me. The deal was so sudden, we didn't know anything before. played such a good result, but was suddenly sent away, it was difficult for me to accept, Zhu Wan was even more angry...... Alas, if you want to say goodbye to him, just make a phone call. Alston said, stood up and patted Hayes on the shoulder, and smiled, "Chuck, I'm going back to clean up." The next time we meet, we'll be rivals and I'm optimistic that you'll win. ”

Alston said hello to Weaver and Moon and left the arena.

Hayes looked at Alstom's departing back and suddenly felt a little sad.

That's the NBA. It's the same for everyone, it's not just some unknown players who are turned around, but big-name stars are sometimes inevitably this kind of encounter, and NBA players are complete commodities.

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

Alston has never said who he is going to swap with. After a while, Van Gundy came to the training ground and spoke at length with Hayes.

Boozer was injured last week and is out for a month, and the Jazz have recently suffered a four-game losing streak.

Both fans and Jazz executives are starting to be dissatisfied with the Jazz's current roster. With the rise of Boozer and Deron Williams, combined with the all-around offensive center Oku and the former All-Star swingman Kirilenko, the Jazz's roster looks strong this season, and they are confident of making the playoffs, but how far they can go is questionable.

The Jazz's shooting guard position is a flaw, Ronnie Brewer knows the breakthrough, and the youngster Miles is unstable, and they can only use Derrick Fisher to play shooting guard. Moreover, their bench lineup is relatively weak, and the only really capable substitutes are Matt Harprin and Gordon Girisek.

Fisher and Millsap are both physically strong and lacking in scoring ability.

The day before yesterday, the Jazz lost by 35 points to the not-so-strong Hornets. Millsap only played seven minutes in garbage time, and he didn't score a point. Now he is in the Jazz, he can only be a substitute for Haplin, averaging 2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game during the four-game losing streak, and is a fringe man who can't play. The Jazz didn't know what the Rockets liked about him, except for having a body of muscles and being a blue-collar and grabbing a few rebounds, there was nothing special. If the Rockets like this kind of player, why didn't they just pick it in the second round of the draft?

Another veteran, Derrick Fisher, played 20 minutes in the starting game against the Hornets, shooting 1-of-9 and scoring just 3 points. The most important thing for a shooting guard is shooting percentage, and Fisher is clearly not up to par, averaging 5.4 points and 2.2 assists per game while shooting just 33.1 percent during the four-game losing streak. And he is shooting just 37 percent from the field this season. As for playing point guard as Delon's backup, Fisher only had 2.4 assists, which was even more disappointing.

At first, Jazz head coach Sloan disagreed with the trade because of Fisher's defense. However, the Jazz manager and owner believe that Fisher's contract will expire after this season, and it will definitely take a lot of effort to keep him at that time. Fisher is already a 32-year-old veteran, his pace is starting to slow down, and it is unknown how many years he can maintain his form.

The Jazz, who had a poor record, decided to reach out to the Rockets to negotiate a trade. The last few days of the trade deadline are the peak of the trade period, and the Jazz can't wait until then, and are ready to use the trade to strengthen the roster as soon as possible and solve the problem of Deron Williams and Boozer playing too long.

They're looking for replacements, and the Rockets' previous Howard and Hyde are not going to work.

What level Luthor Hyde is, Deron Williams knows very well. They are very good friends. In interviews with the media, both said that they were like brothers. When told that Hyde could be traded to the Jazz, Deron Williams was conflicted. He really wants his friends to join the Jazz, and they have a tacit understanding. However, the Rockets are now the No. 1 in the league, and if Hyde really comes, I'm afraid he won't be happy, and he feels that this trade is like ruining his friend's chance to win a championship. After some consideration, he told the Jazz hierarchy that Hyde's style was not suitable for Jazz.

The Jazz continued to chase Alstom. It was the Rockets' starting point guard, and they wanted to trade Fisher and Millsap for a fringe player, but they obviously couldn't.

After some deliberation, the Jazz proposed some changes to the content of the trade, with the Rockets trading Juvan Howard and Alston for Derrick Fisher, Paul Millsap and a first-round pick next season.

Dawson agreed to the deal after consulting Van Gundy. Van Gundy's reason is very simple, as soon as Fisher comes, the Rockets point guard defense will be strengthened, as long as there are no injuries, they will win the championship, and there will be no problems with Maddy and Hayes in assists.

The Jazz brought in substitutes for Boozer and Deron Williams and were satisfied.

The arrival of Fisher and Millsap will also improve the Rockets' defense and bring valuable playoff experience. The Rockets' reinforcement for this season is finally complete, and their roster has almost no weaknesses!

―――――――――――― Segmentation――――――――――――

The street ball king is gone. He has a good offense, but a bit poor defensively. Howard is definitely a bad contract, and this burden is thrown to the Jazz. The Rockets have formed a super lineup! If everyone is satisfied with this transaction, they can enjoy the ticket count and collect the rabbit grass! Appreciate!
