After taking a shower, Chuck Hayes and Taylor Swift called to report on the day's situation. Whenever they play away, they talk on the phone and chat for a while.

As soon as the phone was broadcast, Taylor Swift anxiously asked, "Chuck, what's going on with you on the court today?" You broke the man's nose, and you looked scary in the first half, and the narrators said you looked like you were going crazy. ”

"I'm almost mad, that guy deserves it. But...... I didn't mean to hit him on the nose, I'm a good citizen. Hayes explained that he didn't want to be seen as a violent person by Little Beauty.

"That guy is very funny, the first time I saw someone running to eavesdrop on tactics, my dad laughed badly."

"He's funny, don't you see him muttering all the time on the field? He said a lot of bad things about you. ”

"Really, fake. What did he say about me? ”

"You're not going to want to know."

"You're so angry because he says bad things about me?"

"Or what do you think? Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

The two chatted for nearly 20 minutes, and Hayes rested for a while before flying with the team to New York overnight.

It's a continuous game, it's an away game, he can't eat a good meal for a few days, he can't sleep comfortably, and being an NBA player may have to live many years less.

The Houston Rockets immediately stayed in the hotel when they arrived in New York, and Hayes was lying in bed, thinking about a lot of things before falling asleep, how to improve himself, who to suggest the Rockets trade, and his relationship with Tyler Swift.

The two seem to be a little more ambiguous, not as simple as before, good friends, although they haven't shown anything, they haven't held hands or kissed. What will it look like in the future?

"I don't want to. What I should think about is not to leave regrets in my life, to play basketball well, to be a championship! Love, what should be said must be said, and then everything is as it is. Hayes said to himself.

He is more and more fond of his current life.

Instead of nostalgia for the past and looking forward to the future, it is better to cherish the present and grasp the present.

Of course, if you maintain an identity for more than twenty years, it is simply impossible to say that you have completely forgotten the past. This is not a web novel, saying that forgetting the past is lying to oneself and to others. (It's not a web novel, is it?) ）

Hayes has two people's pasts, too many chaotic memories. For a few months, when he slept, he often dreamed of his life in China, his parents, Li Yaxiao, and many good friends. He also dreamed of returning to China in his current form......

In his dreams, he often felt confused, as if everything in the United States was illusory and China was reality, until he woke up in Chinese.

In order to distinguish between reality and dreams, he bought a tail ring and kept it on his hand as a totem, so as to infer whether he was dreaming.

That night, Hayes slept soundly, dreamed of China again, dreamed of Li Yaxiao, and the two spread a mat on the lawn of the park they frequented, snuggled together, and listened to Taylor Swift's songs. That's when he gets a call from Taylor Swift and finds out that he doesn't have a ring on his hand.

"Who's calling?" Li Yaxiao asked with a smile.

He said a few words, hung up the phone, and smiled, "It's Taylor Swift." She went home and said she hoped I could go to her house and cook for her when she got back to Houston. ”

"Don't dream. Cut ......" Li Yaxiao smiled and pinched his nose playfully.

"You're right, I shouldn't be dreaming all the time." He touched Li Yaxiao's long hair, as gentle as usual, and said slowly: "I'm dreaming, you don't really exist, I can't stay with you." I think, I think more than anything else, but I can't imagine your complex emotions, your perfections and imperfections. Look at it, you're just a shadow of Xuan Feng's girlfriend. You're just a creation of my subconscious and memory, and I'm already Chuck Hayes, and I think it's time for me to let you go. (This is so familiar...... ）

With that, Hayes woke up. See the high ceilings of the hotel, the wide big bed. His body was still as strong as that, with tail rings on his fingers.

"This is my life!" Hayes muttered to himself.

It was almost noon when Jeff Van Gundy called and told him to come downstairs for dinner like a babysitter.

Hayes met Jeff Van Gundy in the hotel restaurant, where he was humming with his eyes closed, and his expression was hilarious.

Hayes picked up some meat, sat down across from Van Gundy, and asked, "Why just the two of us?" What about the others? ”

"In the afternoon, the assembly area went to the square garden to 'step on the spot', and in the morning on vacation, they all went out for a walk, do you think they all get up so late like you?" Jeff Van Gundy took a copy of the newspaper, handed it to Hayes, and said with a smile: "Look at today's news, you are being said to be a god by the media again." ”

Hayes took the newspaper and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a way of writing touting God.

He was only the successor of the star when he played the Bulls, and he was unparalleled in the world after this game. The news was written to make him feel like he was a combination of Barkley and Rodman in the same way as in Dragon Ball.

Hayes laughed, "That's an exaggeration. Do you think I'm that strong? ”

Jeff Van Gundy sighed, "Of course not, that's exactly what I was worried about. The media is frantically touting you, so that all the teams are starting to target you, if they focus on you, you will become difficult to play, and people are expecting too much from you now, once you play a few games badly, these media are likely to hack you in turn, you have to be mentally prepared, don't be proud. ”

"Hehe, even if I am proud, I am proud to not die." Hayes put the newspaper aside and said with a smile: "My situation is different from others, many people are followed in the draft, you forget that I failed the draft and raised the base salary?" It's amazing to hit this level so far. My biggest advantage is that I don't have pressure, others may be psychologically burdened by the media touting, and I will hit the rookie wall, and my rookie wall will have collapsed a long time ago. ”

"What you said makes sense, even if your data is only half of what it is now, it is low-paid and high-energy, and it is too difficult to hack you. But you've got to try to stay in shape. Jeff Van Gundy grinned as he touched his head and said that lately, he had almost forgotten that Hayes was a base salary player.

"Not as much as possible, but definitely. Kobe Bryant has long been a superstar, or often practice, I'm not an All-Star, and I'm not a genius in terms of quality, I may occasionally get stuck, but I won't stop exercising, I'll only get better and better. If my singles can get the attention of the other person, I can be wrapped up in them, and the others will definitely be able to play them to death. Hayes laughed.

Seeing that Hayes's mentality has not changed, Jeff Van Gundy is relieved. There are many talented players in the league who are ruined by complacency, and those who continue to play consistently despite the win can often become superstars.

Hayes gobbled up and began to eat.

Jeff Van Gundy chewed slowly and asked, "Chuck, you played so well in the second half yesterday and grabbed so many frontcourt rebounds, why did you suddenly open up?" ”

"It's just a sudden enlightenment. I'm short and have average bounce power, so it's hard to dominate the air, but the most important thing to grab a rebound is not the bounce, but the position, the power. I don't have anything, so I don't lack brute force. "Hayes feels good when he mentions rebounds, and the person who controls the rebound can control the game.

"If you grab rebounds every game like you play, we're going to be invincible." Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

"Not almost. Our rebounds aren't strong enough, that's why I recommend digging David Lee, do you recommend it to the above? Hayes said earnestly. He had a great opinion of David Lee.

"I recommend it, but I've read his profile, he only played a few games with the Knicks, played less than 20 minutes, and seems to only grab rebounds, just an ordinary blue-collar worker. And I was injured on the field, so I will rest for at least half a month. Is he really as good as you say? You didn't recommend him because you had a good relationship, did you? ”

"Big brother, can I persuade you to trade a scrap teammate? He's defensive, he's physical, he's very good at rebounding, and if he can average 10 rebounds per game, even if he doesn't score a point, it's very difficult for other teams to beat us. The Knicks holding Curry and Frye Dangbao is purely mentally retarded, and David Lee's strength can win the MVP of the rookie game! You've got to get CD (Dawson) to get him over, you can trade whoever you want, that's for sure, it's a must, if you don't trade, the season is over, and we can only watch the Knicks envy and hate. Hayes said solemnly.

"You're not mistaken, are you? When did he win the rookie game MVP? Jeff Van Gundy wondered.

I rub! I accidentally leaked the secret of heaven.

Hayes was stunned for a moment and smiled, "I guess." I've played against him, and it's a lot of pressure, and if you give him enough time, he can win the MVP of the rookie game. ”

"Is it really as fierce as you say? I think he is a surname with a high price. "Jeff Van Gundy is still a little skeptical.

"Trust me. David Lee is a white beast, fiercer than Dingchun. (What is Dingchun?) Rabbit Grass: Go see "Gintama". ）

Seeing Hayes so insistent, Jeff Van Gundy decided to believe him once. "His surname is relatively high, and it may be difficult for the Knicks to let go, we can propose a trade, and whether it can be made depends on luck."

"Continue to let Bunge brush the data, brush the All-Star Knicks and naturally change, and give him more playing time tonight, I suggest that he be the number one substitute, and he must be full when he enters garbage time."

Hayes knows the history, and in his opinion, as long as he convinces the uniforms to make a deal at the right time, David Lee is already in the rocket bag.

"Okay, just listen to you as an assistant coach, anyway, against the Knicks, we will definitely win." Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

"Also, again, I recommend giving Gass [Spanolus] playing time." Hayes said.

"He's terrible shooting." Jeff Van Gundy said with a frown.

"I'll admit that gas shooting is a bit rotten, you can not shoot, we have what we can score, he just needs to pass the ball through half court, his defense is still trustworthy, don't you like defense the most?" Hayes continued.

"I'll think about it."

Sometimes, Hayes really can't understand Jeff Van Gundy's stubbornness, it's better that he gives advice all day long, and Van Gundy in his previous life is even more exaggerated. Van Gundy has always had a problematic eye for defending, but he can't see which player is good at defending.

For example, "Street Fighter" Alston and Spanoulis are compared. Alston is indeed better with the ball, but in the point guard position, it is often used by the opponent as a breakthrough to steal points. The whole team could see that Spanoulis was more than a step better defensively than Alston in training, but Jeff Van Gundy was still determined to use Alston for a long time, giving Spanoulis only 10 minutes.

What's even worse is that if you want to say that the shooting is inaccurate, the wave shot, it is definitely "as soon as the street fighter comes out, who will compete!" "Spanolys's comparison is more accurate.

Could it be that because of Spanolys's physiognomy problem, Van Gundy has no love for "baby face"? Or maybe Span's hair is too good and he has too much hair?

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Jeff Van Gundy asked. His stubbornness is also manifested in the fact that if he believes in a person, he will believe it to the end. That's why Yao Ming can be exhausted. Thankfully, this trait gave Hayes an easy opportunity to speak.

Hayes motioned to wait a while, quickly ate the contents of the plate, wiped his mouth, swallowed quickly, took a sip of water, and said, "There are too many suggestions." Especially in terms of trading, I have a very accurate vision, as long as you are willing to believe me, I say whoever I change, the Rockets will change whoever comes, and I can definitely win the championship. And the draft, especially the draft, as long as you can listen to my advice and talk to Dawson, you will definitely be able to pick good guys."

"Do you think we'll win the championship this year?" Jeff Van Gundy asked with a smile in his heart.

"I think it's okay, but if you make a few small trades, as long as David Lee comes along smoothly and has a guard who has a wide vision and can lead the team to speed up and run, it's likely to win the championship. The inside line is something we have to strengthen. Yao Ming lacks a substitute, and the problem is even more serious in the power forward position. I can push them out of the three-second zone, but I'm too short. When I meet a tall striker like Nowitzki, I'm so annoyed by this guy. If he had come to his senses, he would have killed me. Using Sean (Battier) as a cameo power forward is one way to go, but it's too wasteful. He's better at perimeter defense, small forward or shooting guard. Hayes said in one breath.

"I also thought that in addition to strengthening the interior, we also need a defender. But there are only a few good point guards in the league. The team is very tight. Who do you want to change? "Jeff Van Gundy listened with interest.

Hayes asked the waiter to clean up the table, took two cups of coffee himself, gave Jeff Van Gundy a one, and said with a smile: "The person I'm talking about is not worth much, and he is not strong now, but he has a lot of potential, just like me." As for who to exchange, it depends on the situation. ”

"Don't sell me off. Which team and whom? Jeff Van Gundy said excitedly, he had thought about this question for a long time, and there was no suitable candidate.

"Hehe, don't get excited. I said we could trade with the Raptors and swap their point guards. Hayes laughed.

"TJ-Ford? That guy is very powerful, but he just transferred from the Bucks, and the price is not low. Jeff Van Gundy shook his head and said, "I want him to come, don't dream." Do you want to turn us here into an all-star lineup? ”

"No, I'm not interested in TJ-Ford sending it in. I'm talking about his sub, a Spaniard, José Calderón! ”

―――――――――――― Split ――――――――――――――

Many friends have discussed trading in the group, in the book review area, and some want to be Billups, Rondo, or even the old fish Fisher......

Wondering, why hasn't anyone thought about Calderón?
