At the end of the game, Yu Jia said: "143-128. The sad jersey did not prevent the two sides from playing super high scores. The Western Stars team won a big victory under the leadership of Yao Ming. ”

Zhang reasonably corrected: "It was the Eastern Stars who won. ”

Yu Jia said embarrassedly: "Sorry for the slip of the tongue, Yao Ming has already transferred to the Eagles in the East, so he is in the East." However, the Western Stars also performed very well in this game, losing by only 15 points when they lost 21 rebounds from 59 to 38 rebounds, which is incredible. ”

Zhang reasonably felt that his partner was a "western black", and quickly diverted the conversation and said: "Anyway, our All-Star Weekend was very successful, and the MVP of this game will be judged later, and it will be more exciting after the advertisement, please don't go away." (When did you do the All-Star?) LeBron James of the Eastern Conference Stars recorded a quasi-triple-double of 24 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists to win the All-Star Game MVP. Hayes was also doing well, scoring just eight points but grabbing 23 rebounds. It is only 4 short of the NBA All-Star Game rebounding record. Yao Ming only played 4 minutes in the second half, with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, although he felt good, he still missed the MVP.

After the interview, Hayes said goodbye to his friends and returned to the hotel.

Although Hayes and Gao Tongxuan tried to keep a low profile, when watching the game in the past two days, Gao Tongxuan sat with Ye Li, and there were still attentive fans who revealed her identity. The next day, there was a lot of news about the two. The most blatant piece of news is "The Wives and Girlfriends of All-Star Weekend". The media said that Gao Tongxuan stood out in the PK with the wives and girlfriends of celebrities. With the Spurs' Parker not being selected as an All-Star, Hayes' agent girlfriend became the most beautiful one. Looking at the entire all-star wife lineup, no one can compare to her.

Hayes insisted on returning to Charlotte with Gao Tongxuan, and the media liked to say whatever they wanted. The important thing is what the parties think, Gao Tongxuan is not sad when she sees the news, Taylor also talks to him on the phone every day, he doesn't seem to be jealous, and the relationship between the three of them is harmonious, which is the most important thing.

After the All-Star break, the trade deadline is approaching, and at this time, there are always people who are anxious like ants on a hot pot, with players and bosses.

After the Lakers made a successful trade, almost everyone in the West was in danger. The success of the Bobcats has also led many teams to embark on the road of rebuilding.

For example, Thorne, the president of the Nets, in his eyes, there is no player who is not for sale. But the so-called "it's easy to please God, it's hard to send God", at least for now, there is no deal plan for Kidd in front of him. In fact, due to all kinds of difficulties in the work, the Nets team after February 22 may be no different from now. When the news of the Lakers' move to Gasol broke, Thorne's mood became even more irritable, last season, the Lakers offered to trade Kidd, but the chips paid were too low, and the Nets felt that they were losing money, so they did not succeed.

This year, Kidd is 35 years old. Very few players are still in good form after the age of 35. But with no one to take over, Thorne didn't dare to kick Kidd away, only vaguely saying that he wouldn't give up on Kidd completely unless he could get players who could improve the team.

When the Mavericks offered a trade, Thorne agreed with little analysis of the strength of the players the Mavericks were sending.

On the 19th, the Mavericks sent Devin Harris, De Sangana Diop, Trendon Hassel, Maurice Anger and Keith Van Horne, plus two first-round picks and $3 million in exchange for Jason Kidd, Malik Allen and Antoine Wright.

Devin Harris is a good player, but he can't make the team better. Spurred on by the Lakers, Cuban is determined to spend money to strengthen the roster, but can Kidd make the team better? For a long time, the Mavericks' tactics have placed a heavy emphasis on individual singles after misalignment, and Kidd's arrival has required a re-adaptation process. The Mavericks are good at the half-court position, while Kidd is good at the fast break; The Mavericks excel in individual singles, but Kidd is the type of player who prefers to create chances rather than individual control of the game. The Kuban made another bad deal.

The Bobcats played a game on the 20th, away against the San Antonio Spurs. Although the Bobcats are playing away, Ginobili and veteran Bowen are out due to injury, and the Spurs' strength is greatly reduced. Facing the Spurs' defense, Hayes' offense was like no one. The terrifying statistics of 35 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists led the Bobcats to a clean 108-94 victory.

This victory also built the confidence of the Bobcats players. As long as Hayes is around, they are already a super strong team. It took the players half a season to gradually adapt to Van Gundy's defensive system and improve a lot in defense.

Hayes felt that it didn't matter if there was no deal. But back in Charlotte, Jordan asked him to meet at Time Warner Arena with a "good news" that gave him a headache. ”

In the office, Rod Higgins, Mike D'Antoni, Jeff Van Gundy and others were there, Hayes as the core of the team also had a certain say, and the Bobcats' top management believed in his vision, so he participated in this small meeting.

"Chuck, the Trail Blazers have offered us a trade for Szzzerbiak and Kevin Durant for Gortat, Wallace and Sessions," Jordan said. We'd like to ask for your opinion. ”

Generally, no matter how bad the high-pick rookie is, the team will choose to train for one or two seasons, and it will be traded out of the team when there is no future. It's only half a season, and the Trail Blazers want to give up Durant, which is really unexpected. Hayes immediately thought that Durant and Roy must have had a conflict over the ball, and how could they succeed in fighting for the ball with the team's boss? The Trail Blazers can trade Randolph for Aldridge's ascension, and naturally they can trade Durant for Roy.

If Hayes had the choice, he would trade Roy out of the team and go all out to develop Durant, because Roy's future would be ruined by injury. But the Trail Blazers don't have a prophet. They just want to have a headache and a foot to heal. Not good on the inside, they have their eye on Gortat and Wallace, who can play the No. 4 position. The point guard position is weak, and they also want to dig up Sessions, who exploded some time ago, to cultivate it.

Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard is a shrewd man. He wants to take advantage of Durant's fame in the draft to maximize his benefits. Wallace was one of the core of the Bobcats last season and the transfer could make a difference right away, unlike Durant who needed to develop. Gortat and Sessions both signed four-year contracts with the Bobcats, with low salaries and high energy. In addition, the Trail Blazers also want to get rid of Szczebiak's bad contract.

It would be an idiot if the lynx really said yes.

"Of course not. Michael, Szzambiak is stinking with a 6-year, 65 million rotten contract, which only expires in 2009, what use do we want this person? Durant does have some strength, but it would be too expensive to trade for Gerrard (Wallace). Hayes thought for a moment and said, "If this deal doesn't involve Gerrard and Szzebiak, we could consider accepting it." ”

Hayes also thinks beautifully, if he doesn't send Gerard Wallace to exchange Sessions and Gortat for Durant, it will not be a trade, but a red envelope for the New Year. This year, my family does not accept gifts, only Durant.

Others also said that they would not do it at a loss. Gerrard can attack and defend, is the team's No. 2 man, and if he is traded for Durant, the Bobcats will be tantamount to giving up this season.

Rod Higgins laughed: "That's all of us don't agree. Chuck you thought of the trade method I asked before, the Trail Blazers didn't agree, they were very resolute, and they would only give up Durant if we sent Gerrard. If the deal is negative, I'll call them back. ”

"Wait, manager, don't be in such a hurry." Hayes stopped Rod Higgins from calling, saying, "We can change the chips." Don't overrule the Trail Blazers' request in one go, I think we can show interest in Durant and tell the Trail Blazers manager that we're willing to trade the right chips, but we have to wait until the season is over! Because we are going to hit the championship, it is impossible to give up this season, so it is unrealistic to send the team's No. 2 star out of the team at this time, and it is polite to talk about it, saying that Durant is a good player, but he can't trade it now. ”

"Anyway, it's definitely not going to work to trade Gerrard!" Van Gundy shouted. In addition to Hayes in the team, the person he admires most is Wallace, who can attack and defend.

"Don't get excited, Jeff, listen to me first. It's just a verbal promise, leaving a little thought on the Trail Blazers' side. So when they want to trade Durant after the season, they will definitely give priority to us. Durant and Roy overlapped, and the Trail Blazers chose Roy and would not give Durant too many shots, so he couldn't play at a level this season, and staying until the summer would only depreciate. Wouldn't it be better for us to wait until then to trade Durant? At that point, Durant is unwanted, the Trail Blazers are in a hurry to trade, and there is no need to send Gerrard at all, we can get him to the Bobcats. Hayes explained unhurriedly: "Now the Trail Blazers want interior players, we make small trades to get their friendship, Massin (Gortat) has a lot of development, the league is short of big men, we can't send him out." But others can still do it. For example, giving away Chris (Humphries) at a low price. ”

"Chris? He doesn't have a place on our team at all, will the Trail Blazers want it? D'Antoni asked.

Hayes laughed: "People may not like Chris, but the Trail Blazers should be interested because their interior line is so bad." There is only one Prizebila that is really useful. Once Prizebila is injured, let alone the playoffs, there is nowhere to cry, it is better to mess up early. They don't want to mess up now, so they naturally choose to trade. Chris can't do anything but grab rebounds, he barely plays, but his salary is higher than Marsin, Van (Weaver), Matt (Barnes), which will make people psychologically unbalanced. In addition to him, we can also give away Raymond (Sessions), which the Trail Blazers like. ”

"So who are we going to trade? The Trail Blazers aren't going to send good players. Jordan asked. The head of Hayes's analysis is Dao, which he finds interesting. They were all big names on the team, but they were all listening to Hayes.

"Swap their backup defender Rajon Rondo, and the signing rights of Jose's [Calderón's] fellow countryman, Rudy Fernandez." Hayes laughed.

"Rondo? I remember just being a marginal person, right? Raymond has been playing well lately, is it necessary to replace this guy? Fernandez hasn't played in the NBA, he doesn't know what level he is, and he didn't have a high draft pick last year, so is it worth it? Jordan wondered.

"yes. I also think it's a risk, interior players are very valuable, and Chris (Humphries) is still more promising if he can practice shooting well. Van Gundy also said.

'Rajon Rondo is good defensively, our number one is a weak underbelly and he helps us. Fernandez is also a player with a lot of potential, and Jose knows best that he will show something at the Olympics. How about we now let the scouts provide information and then make a decision? ”

Will the Bobcats lose money by trading Fernandes, who is suitable for running and shooting, and Rondo, who has the ability to be named to the All-Defensive Team in the future? Humphries is just a blue-collar worker, and Sessions' defense is thinner than paper!

――――――――――― split―――――――――――― explains the transaction here.

A friend in the book review section mentioned trading Biedrins and Felton for Durant and Rondo.

With a player of Durant's level, the Trail Blazers can't give it away easily. Trading your own potential players for two expiring ones is simply not going to happen unless the expiring person can free up their salary. In particular, the Trail Blazers need to renew the contracts of Roy and Aldridge in the future, and they must calculate the salary. So Gortat and Sessions are the targets. Wallace: That's what the Trailblazers thought...... Rondo is one step ahead, Adu continues to sing "It's Dark" in the Pioneer first, and in the summer Hai Ye will find a way to save him from the sea of suffering.
