The team doctor of the rocket carefully read Bagnani's medical test report and said affirmatively: "As far as this report is concerned, Bagnani does not have any physical hidden dangers!" ”

Dawson nodded, there have been such things in the league before, players concealed injuries when they traded, and since then, all teams have been much more cautious, and new players must be checked as soon as possible after the trade, and those who can't pass can be returned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Dawson isn't afraid of the Raptors playing tricks on this.

"Bagnani's stats are also very good!" An assistant coach of the Rockets, who specializes in data analysis in the team, looked at Bagnani's average data in November and expressed his support, "Playing an average of 25.8 minutes, scoring 17.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and shooting 43% from the field...... The scoring ability is very strong, and this result is worthy of his status as the champion. ”

Seeing that almost all of the staff present gave their opinions, Dawson turned his head to look at head coach Van Gundy, "What about you, what is your opinion?" ”

Van Gundy habitually touched his baldness, his eyebrows furrowed, "This...... It's hard to decide. On the surface, we have taken advantage of this deal, which is also the unanimous opinion of everyone.

First, we have tight internal personnel, and there are too many external personnel. There are only Yao Ming and Mutombo in the center position, only Howard and Hayes in the power forward position, and Zhang Chu, who originally played small forward, has to make cameo appearances as a big forward from time to time. On the outside, there are more than four people in each position. Now it's fitting that we're trading three outside players for a pure power forward.

Second, Bagnani is the top pick with unlimited potential, and we only need to pay a few role players with average talent, which is also very good. Moreover, if Bagnani comes and plays power forward, Yao Ming can fall to the low post, and Bagnani is good at outside shooting, which can completely free up the inside space for Yao Ming, which is also perfect.

However, I just can't bear Zhang Chu, and in the past month, Zhang's progress has been very obvious...... Can you exchange conditions with the Raptors for someone else? ”

Dawson shook his head silently and said, "The general manager of the Raptors named Zhang, and Zhang Chu must be on the trade list!" ”

"Morey, what about you, what's your opinion?" Seeing that only Morey was left in the room, Dawson turned to Morey.

Morey put down the thick pile of data reports in his hand and said slowly: "As Van Gundy said, this is a difficult decision, and the other party's chips are very tempting. However, there must be demons when things go wrong, and since anyone with a discerning eye sees that our Rockets have taken advantage of this deal, I don't believe that the Raptors are all fools. On December 10th, our Rockets visited Toronto and had a game against the Raptors, and I suggest that it is not too late to make a decision after watching the direct dialogue between Zhang Chu and Bagnani! ”

"Alright! I'll drag it out with the Raptors for the time being, and I'll make a final decision after December 10th! Dawson concluded.

In fact, every transaction, even if it is a small transaction, the club is very cautious, and it is impossible to come up with an idea in three moments, and Dawson's approach is understandable.

……

The Rockets have three games before December 10, against the Knicks, Celtics and SuperSonics, and the Rockets have won three in a row on three roads. Zhang Chu's performance has become more and more consistent, averaging 13 minutes per game, averaging 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. This is a slight increase from November.

Although it is a continuous away game, due to the lack of strength of these three teams, coupled with the fact that Yao Ming and Maddie have played well this season, easily winning three consecutive victories, the Rockets' current record has come to 17 games, 12 wins and 5 losses, and the ranking is still fifth in the West.

Because the NBA's ranking rules are weird, he doesn't mean that the fifteen teams in the West are ranked completely by winning percentage, but that you are the first in the three major regions in the West, occupy the top three in the West, and then start from the fourth place and then rank according to the record. Therefore, although the Rockets have won a wave of consecutive victories, they have not improved their rankings, who let the Rockets be in the same division with the Spurs and Mavericks? Both the Spurs and Mavericks have a better record than the Rockets so far.

In particular, the Spurs firmly occupy the first place in the southwest division and the second place in the west.

The three major regions of the NBA Western Conference ---- the Pacific Division, and the Suns are the first; In the Northwest Division, the Nuggets are first; In the Southwest Division, the Spurs are first. These three teams occupy the top three spots in the West.

According to the results, the Nuggets are not as good as the Rockets, but they are the first in the division and occupy the third place in the West, while the Rockets have better results than the Nuggets, but they can only be fifth in the West (the fourth in the West is the Mavericks, and the winning rate is higher than the Rockets).

……

On December 10, the fourth game of the Rockets' wave of away games, they flew to Toronto, Canada, to challenge the Raptors. Originally, the attention of this game was not high, because the Raptors have always been a weak team, even if they have not entered the top eight in the East. The Rockets, who are fifth in the West, are not the favourites to win the championship, so not many Americans are paying attention to this game, except of course, for the club executives on both sides, especially Dawson and Ujerry. Because the two sides are brewing a transaction, and as the protagonists of the two sides of the transaction---- direct dialogue between Zhang Chu and Bagnani will determine the final direction of this transaction to a certain extent!

Bagnani, the top pick from Italy, is not happy with the Raptors at the moment, because as a top pick, he doesn't even get the treatment of a starter. Seeing that Aldridge, Roy, Morrison, Guy and others who were further down than their draft picks not only played as starters, but even became the cornerstone of the team to cultivate, how can you embarrass him as a champion who can't play as a starter?

However, there is no way, who let the Raptors have a Bosh. As the 03 platinum generation, Bosh is currently averaging 23.5 points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 blocks per game, which is a proper All-Star statistic. The Raptors brass wouldn't make such a fool.

Moreover, because Bosh is thin and weak, he is not suitable for playing center, and Bagnani can't play center due to his technical characteristics and poor physical confrontation, and the two have to fight to the death for the position of power forward, you can't separate one person to play small forward, right?

And Bagnani also understands in his heart that Bosh is now the core and cornerstone of the Raptors, and he is young, Bagnani can either leave, or he can play Bosh off the bench with peace of mind. This may also be one of the reasons for the eventual fall of Bagnani in later generations.

There were no surprises in this game, and after 48 minutes, the Rockets easily won 108-95. Although the Raptors' "Dragon King" Bosh caused a lot of trouble for the Rockets' interior line, he scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, and handed out 4 assists, and even led by more than 10 points in the first half. However, in the second half, the Rockets' Yao Ming and Maddie Qi were powerful, and the two combined for 62 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists, and took away a victory without danger, winning four in a row, improving their record to 13-5.

It is worth mentioning that on the duel at the big forward position that the two sides are concerned about, the main PK, Bosh completely destroyed Howard, and the substitute PK, Zhang Chu, almost kept a clean sheet against Bagnani.

Due to the fact that the senior management of both clubs were interested in observing the direct dialogue between Zhang Chu and Bagnani, Zhang Chu's playing time in this game was very long, reaching 18 minutes.
