Another Rocket player is in the headlines, or bad news - Yao Ming wants to transfer!

"We had a perfect season. Why can we get 70 wins? Why did you win the championship? Hayes is a big guy and his role in the team is irreplaceable. I've offered to keep Hayes many times, but I've been disappointed by the Rockets' choice. What disappointed me even more was that I had just learned that Jeff van Gundy would probably no longer be our head coach next season. The top brass has so far shown no intention of renewing Van Gundy's contract. He's the one who made us the best defensive team in the league, he's important to me, and you can say that without Van Gundy, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm miserable, I find some people's values strange, and avoiding the luxury tax is so much more important than building a dynasty! For me, playing basketball in the NBA is an honor, but for some, it's just business! In previous seasons, I had a lot of teammates that I liked, and the Rockets traded them all away without ever asking for my opinion. I can't help but think, if I wasn't Chinese, where would I be now? In the first two disappointing seasons, I should have been traded, right? ”

Yao Ming's speech was like a grenade thrown into a pit, which not only detonated the media, but also stirred up "people's dung!" ”

Alexander the Rocket's boss became notorious overnight. The image in China is completely ruined.

Alexander did not expect such a thing to happen, and hurriedly flew from New York to Houston for a press conference to explain the current situation of the rocket.

The press conference failed, Alexander and Morey were almost thrown rotten eggs by the fans, and their explanations were useless, and the fans went to the Toyota Center Plaza for a demonstration, and some fans hoped that the Rockets would keep Hayes with the maximum salary, and the big three would build a dynasty together. But how is this possible? Since Hayes's press conference, the relationship has become irreconcilable. Azubuke chose to jump out of the contract, Fisher and Weaver refused to renew the contract, all of this was the impact of Hayes, Yao Mingyi asked for a transfer, and Alexander couldn't wait to cut Hayes into billions with a knife! Break down into ions!

1 billion Chinese support Yao Ming and hate rockets. What kind of force is this? When Yao Ming won the MVP of the finals, he had become a national hero in the eyes of the Chinese people and the strongest athlete in Chinese history. If Yao Ming wasn't too tall, Zhang Yimou would have been ready to let him go to the rope to light the torch in 2008.

NetEase's Liu Zhaochen wrote 5 articles in a row in support of Hayes, Yao Ming, and Alexander and Morey, and the number of hits exceeded 10 million in two days! The number of replies is also a terrifying number. A large number of these posts are swear words, greetings to the Alexander family. Some of the scolding was so ugly that the editor had to delete the post, and there were many similar posts that could not be deleted...... The conversation between Alexander and Yao Ming also failed. At this time, he realized that he and Yao Ming rarely communicated. The development of the team has not been discussed. He doesn't care what Yao Ming thinks, he just values the Chinese market behind Yao Ming.

Before Yao Ming went to the NBA, how many NBA players came to China to interact with Chinese fans? How many of them have dealt with Chinese companies indirectly or directly through Yao Ming? Anyone who can think knows that it is because of Yao Ming that the majority of Chinese fans and friends like the NBA and the Rockets, not because of the Rockets that everyone likes Yao Ming.

Just because Yao Ming is a Chinese, and because Yao Ming has brought countless honors and hopes to the Chinese people, everyone pays attention to Yao Ming and the NBA, and the NBA has today's influence in China. Without Yao Ming, China's NBA audience would have been cut in half!

In this case, can the Rockets trade Yao Ming? No stupid boss will get tired of using Chinese money, keeping the national symbol of the Chinese, and still working for himself, and finally earning money. There's a famous saying in the NBA, that's business. The economy always comes first in business, so whether the Rockets will trade Yao Ming depends on whether the boss thinks he still has economic value...... After Yao Ming held a press conference, Chinese companies that originally had cooperation intentions with Alexander gave up their cooperation. Choosing Alexander at this time is a Chinese people who can't get by. In the United States, Alexander's reputation has also become poor. A search for synonyms of "stingy" on the Internet will bring up "Alexander".

Alexander felt that it didn't matter if the Rockets could win the championship or not, but the failure of the business made him seem to be 10 years older all of a sudden.

"Darrell, what do you think should be done at this time?" Alexander asked, sitting in a sofa chair in his office, covering his eyes with his hands, his voice hoarse. He had always been very energetic when it came to taking care of the family business, but now he felt that he was unable to do so.

Morey took a few sips of water and did not immediately reply, he did not dare to talk nonsense. Every trade Dawson made before retiring was commendable, bringing Houston a championship, but he took over as soon as he took office. A number of players have chosen to leave, and even the Rockets' most important Yao Ming has asked for a transfer, which is not good for him, and he doesn't want to be the shortest-serving manager in NBA history.

"Yao Ming is the most important person in the rocket, because because of him, I can open up the Chinese market. But now, the Chinese regard me as an enemy, Yao Ming was dissatisfied before, but he still managed to renew the contract, and now he says so, am I really doing something wrong? Can the situation be reversed? Alexander did not open his eyes, and spoke silently, as if talking to himself, and his demeanor was like that of an old man in the last years of his life.

Morey swallowed a mouthful of spit and asked, "Boss, have you thought about trading Yao Ming?" ”

"Not before, but now ......" Alexander sighed and said: "If you force him to keep him in the Rockets, I am afraid that the conflict between him and Maddie will become public, and his agent once again proposed to attack Yao Ming as the core and reduce the number of shots Maddie." Maddie said the same thing. ”

"If one of them were to be chosen, who would we keep? Regular season MVP and Finals MVP, they are the best players, but it is difficult to play their power together. Morey said that the decision was in Alexander's hands, and he was only in charge of doing things. In this way, if something goes wrong in the future, he won't be too embarrassed.

Alexander thought about it, if Yao Ming was kept, Yao Ming might not be happy, and once the Rockets' record deteriorated next season, Chinese fans would hate him even more. It would be foolish enough to trade Yao Ming out of the team when he was at the peak of his form. Unless Yao Ming is exchanged for an inside player of the same level. How many such players are there? O'Neal is definitely not good when he gets old, Garnett is an option, and Dwight Howard is the best fit.

"Darrell, analyze it. It's a draft in a few days. If Yao Ming still wants to be the core at that time and can't change his mind, consider trading him. But be sure to switch to an influential player, preferably an interior player with speed, who can partner with Maddie. Although it is a pity to let Yao Ming go, it is better than being hated by the Chinese. ”

Morey nodded. In the 2007 draft, they didn't have a good signing, and it was impossible to catch a big fish in the transfer market, so they needed to analyze it carefully.

On the other hand, Hayes is also thinking about the draft. Except for Okafor, Gerard Wallace, and Felton, the strength of the other players is too bad. This draft is an important opportunity to strengthen, and what kind of results the Bobcats can play in the new season can be said to depend on the draft. To pass the transaction. The Bobcats don't have much leverage, and it's hard to get a player with a higher surname.

After some consideration, Hayes called Jordan.

"Chuck, when are we signing? I've got the contract ready for you. Package you are satisfied. Jordan picked up the phone and smiled.

"Haha, I've gotten into trouble with Rockets to this point, so naturally I'm going to sign with you, and I still have good news to inform you, and you also need to do something." Hayes said.

"Say something." Jordan said.

"Free up three signings in the team. I brought three brothers to join the Bobcats. We played two games last season and you should have a lot of quality, Moon, Azubuuk and Weaver are all players who work with me very well and can be used right away. Can you give them a satisfactory contract? Hayes asked.

"That's fine, the specific manager Rod Higgins will talk to them."

Hayes came to the Bobcats with three Rockets players, and Jordan couldn't ask for them. Azubuke was tough defensively, Weaver impressed in the playoffs, and Moon didn't finish as well as Weaver in the regular season.

"The next thing is up to you to be sincere. You said you would draft and trade as I asked. Do you believe my vision? "The draft is Hayes' main concern, and the main reason he chose the Bobcats is that Jordan said that he would pick and trade players according to his request.

"I will do what I say, and I will do what you say. When will you sign up? Jordan replied very dryly. He didn't care about the draft at all, and all his energy was on Hayes' signing.

Hayes laid down a big rock in his heart. Jordan is really sincere, and he really wants to build a team around him. "I'm going to sign after the draft, I'm going to go to Los Angeles after that, Erwin [Johnson] is going to teach me how to pass, and when I come back after two months of practice, I'm going to be even better."

"Who do you want to pick in the draft?" Jordan asked.

"I'll not talk about this for now, let's see what kind of signings we can get, and if we can, it's better to get a second-round pick." Hayes asked, "Michael, what do you want the team to achieve next season?" ”

Although Jordan was excited, he was not to the point of losing his mind, and said with a smile: "Although you have reached the Bobcats, it will take time to run in with the team, as long as we can make the playoffs next season, we will complete the task." If you can make it past the first round, I'll give you a bonus! ”

"Next season, my idea is also to run in, so I want you to try to vacate positions in the team, we have to renew the rookies for development, and if there are no places, trade a few marginal people whose contracts are expiring, and cut them. Although it looked like we were losing money at first, the Bobcats had to tear down and rebuild if they wanted to win the championship, and I think everyone except Okafor, Wallace, and Felton, I think everyone can be replaced. I'm confident that I'll take the Bobcats to the top in three years! Hayes said confidently.

"Chuck, you're too confident, too. If you do, you'll be better than me. Jordan laughed. The more confident Hayes became, the happier he became.

"I just have this confidence, if you trade according to my requirements, we will succeed!" Hayes laughed.
