After the Rockets achieved a 23-2 record, the Rockets were even more jubilant.

It was with such excitement that the Rockets traveled to Charlotte.

However, Tiger Tiger, the owner of the Rockets, and Dawson, the general manager who has returned to work, are worried about the transfer that is coming in waves.

Looking at the transfer list on the table, it includes almost all the players of the Rockets.

The Celtics wanted Garnett, and it was a dream.

Ray Allen was hit by the supersonic and asked for a transfer, you are stupid to me.

The Trail Blazers want to get Saulus, this request is very dangerous, after all, Sabonis is in the Trail Blazers, and he has to talk to Saulius well.

Grizzlies, what do you say you are making a fuss about, you want to get O'Saila Harrington, this is a little bit interesting, see how to trade it to maximize the benefits.

The Utah Jazz team Shanton Anderson was very interested, and yes, this kid was chosen by the Jazz in the original plane.

The Pacers want a backup for Cassel and they want Anthony Johnson. Hehe, okay, then aren't your Pacers' main and backup point guards all from the Rockets?

I want to get Bodi Loga before I add it.

and the bullet who was beaten and cried by the bus wanted the bus, and found an inside helper for Webb and Howard.

With so many families coming together, isn't this going to tear down the platform of the rocket?

Thinking beautifully, Lao Tzu, if I don't let you have some blood, I'm still a crossing man.

Thinking of this, Tiger made up his mind and said to Dawson: "Dawson, there are a few of these transactions that are impossible, such as Garnett, Ray Allen, and Saulius, don't even think about it, and Saurius has to comfort him, Sabonis is Sboga's idol." You have to be careful, don't let people hook up with our handsome Lithuanian guys. ”

Dawson took a pen and said to Tiger as he recorded my request, "Don't worry, boss, I'll do it." And what about the requirements of the other teams, you give an indication. ”

"Okay, O'Cella can be traded, I think he's going to be a good match with Abdul Rahim if he goes to the Grizzlies, he really doesn't have a chance with the Rockets, we can't let a player ruin us, we can see what the Grizzlies have to strengthen our players." The Jazz are interested in Shanton, but they don't have any good players to trade, but we can trade their future draft picks, and when we talk about the Pacers, they need a backup for Cassell, Anthony Johnson and Jacques Vaughn have basically no games to play, it's okay to let one of them go, we need a third point guard. Tiger analysed the needs of the teams.

"So how do we trade, according to the principle of reciprocity, we can come up with various schemes." Dawson said

"Okay, let's analyze them one by one, let's look at the Grizzlies' roster first, I looked for it, this person is very suitable for our needs, and we can cultivate that after Mark retires or leaves, he can take Mark's place." Tiger handed the file of the chosen person to Dawson.

Looking at the name on the file, Dawson was obviously stunned, then looked at Tiger and said, "Is it possible to change it?" ”

"That's up to us." Tiger said with a smile.

Antonio Daniels, born: March 19, 1975, Height: 6'4 (1.93m), Weight: 205 lbs (93 kg) Country: United States, Draft: Drafted by the Grizzlies at No. 4 in 1997, Graduated from: Bowling Green University, Position: Point Guard, averaged 7.8 points, assists, 4.5 steals, 0.74 blocks and 0.12 blocks per game as of last game. Well, this kid is good, and he's the No. 4 rookie this year, so we don't know if we can get it. Dawson said with some concern.

"I don't think there's a problem, Raheem needs a good helper, Thorpe is old and will provide very little help, Harrington was a rookie last year, this guy has good defense and rebounding, and he has a hand on offense, and if we didn't have a player like Garnett, I wouldn't let him go, and I'm going to trade a first-round pick in '98 and some cash." Tiger said his plan indifferently.

"Let me take a look, Daniels' salary this year is 2.1 million, and Harrington's annual salary is 320,000 plus a first-round pick and some cash, which can match the contract, I'm afraid the Grizzlies' uniform team will not agree to change." Dawson said with some concern.

"Hehe, they will change, have you forgotten that we have an investigation into next year's draft, and Daniels and Duncan are good friends, if they are not satisfied with the Grizzlies' environment, they will definitely ask for a transfer, and the place to go is likely to be San Antonio, the current Spurs are already very strong, if they go to such a puzzle then the Spurs will be even stronger, I will not add strength to the opponent." Tiger said with a hard sip of the cigar.

"What if Daniels comes here and wants to go to the Spurs." Dawson is concerned about this issue.

"Hehe, as long as Daniels is not a fool, he won't go to the Spurs now, the Rockets are such a strong team now, and they are the most favorable contenders for this year's championship, doesn't he want to have a ring as a rookie, plus the atmosphere in the team and Rudy's means, I believe he will choose to stay." Tiger said confidently.

"Hopefully, I'll make a note of it, but what about the transfers of Shanton and Anthony." Dawson nodded and said.

"Don't worry, Dawson, let's analyze the Jazz again, don't think about the three old men of the Jazz, they said they want to exchange Ostertag, I don't want it, but I can't look down on other players, so I want a future '99 first-round pick and some cash in exchange." Tiger stated his plan for Shanton Anderson.

"But, boss, you know, Russell is the kind of person who can play when he comes on, and we need that kind of person now, and Clyde is going to retire at the end of this season, and Ray Allen is still very young and we need someone to rotate with him, and Russell is a good fit." Dawson was clearly not very willing to trade for Shanton Anderson.

"That's and you can rest assured, I'm going to find a good teacher and a good rotation player for Ray, and I have a plan in mind, and it will be after the end of this season." Tiger smiled and comforted Dawson.

"yes, then I'll wait and see, I hope what you say is true, or we'll only have to use a sophomore rookie next year to deal with the league's leading point guards." Dawson said with a little worry.

"Hehe, okay, okay, don't worry so much." Tiger smiled and patted Dawson.

"Forget it, let's talk about Anthony Johnson." Dawson said with a wry smile.

"Well, Anthony Johnson is getting around $240,000 a year, and I'd like to trade him for a '98 first-round pick in exchange for '97's 12th rookie Austin Crohill." Tiger said about Anthony Johnson's swap plan.

This plan startled Dawson again, and he quickly flipped through the information.

Austin Crohill, born: May 1, 1975, Height: 6'10 (2.08 m) Weight: 234 lbs (106 kg) Graduated from University: Providence University, Position: Power Forward, Small Forward, averaged 2.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game as of the last game. This data is very ordinary, why do you fancy him? Boss, I'm weird. Dawson looked at the information and said confusedly.

"Hehe, this is a very characteristic big man, what I like is his outside attacking power, he can swing in the two positions of big forward and small forward, which is a good complement to our team's combat effectiveness." Tiger continued to elaborate on his point.

"Boss, in addition to this trade to the Jazz, these two trades to the Grizzlies and Pacers are very difficult, and it is very difficult for us to trade two second-round rookies for two first-round rookies." Dawson's expression was embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Dawson, I will follow up with you all the way in this transaction, our team traded a power forward, a swing man, and a guard this time, can I not be cautious about such a big deal, and I still have a plan to implement." Tiger stood in front of the window and took a leisurely puff on his cigar.

While Tiger and Dawson were discussing how to make a deal.

The game between the Rockets and the Hornets also began.

This year's Hornets continue last year's strong streak with a 17-11 record this season under head coach Dave Covins.

Glenn Rice, Wesley, Anthony Mason, Divac and others are even more in the league.

After the game began, Rice used his accurate shooting to teach the Rockets' backcourt players a good lesson.

Hit three three-pointers in a row.

Watching the Wasp's projection like the wind, the Rockets launched a strong counterattack on the inside.

Garnett hit the Hornets' inside again and again, and in the face of Matt Geiger's defense, Garnett had his own footwork and toughness, completely breaking the opponent and forcing Divac to pack the opposite bus again and again.

However, it only takes a pinch to Garnett.

Garnett passed the ball, and the empty bus always used his accurate mid-range shots to hit the Hornets' basket again and again.

Taking advantage of the inside, the Rockets were not pulled away by the Hornets in the first quarter.

26：21

The Hornets only had a five-point lead.

At the start of the second quarter, the Rockets stepped up their defense from the outside, with Saullius coming up to keep an eye on Glenn Rice.

Under the kraft-like defense of Saulius, Rice's shooting percentage dropped dramatically.

And the rocket's outer artillery group, led by Mark Jackson, opened fire.

Mark Jackson, who made 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, twisted his cramp dance, which made the Hornets very unhappy to watch, and they really wanted to go up and kick a few times.

The Rockets' formidable offensive power was on full display in the second quarter.

The team scored 42 points in a single quarter.

63：52.

The Rockets led by 11 points in a single quarter.

The Rockets bench bandits who came on the court in the second half were even more ferocious.

Under the leadership of Bodiroga, the bench commander, the fragile spirit of the Hornets was impacted again and again.

Divac and Bodi Roga, two teammates of the national team, met on the NBA court and were embarrassed.

Yugoslav basketball elite demonstrated Yugoslav basketball skills on the court in the United States.

Let the world know that Americans are not the only ones who play basketball.

The third quarter of the game and the fourth quarter of the game completely turned into an offensive performance for the Rockets.

120：101

The Rockets used a jubilant offense to claim their 24th win of the season.

All seven players in the team scored double-doubles.

The Rockets have won 8 in a row.

Just after the Rockets' victory, Tiger and Dawson were already on the plane to Vancouver.

The Rockets' winter transfer has begun.
