Chapter 301 [Temptation of wolves! 】
The Bobcats beat the Mavericks 123 to 101.
This game is of great significance. Hayes scored a triple-double of 18 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. This is his 10th triple-double this season. 28 times, tied with basketball god Michael Jordan.In the NBA history rankings, it rose to ninth place.
It took Jordan 28 seasons to get 15 triple-doubles, but Hayes only took a little over three seasons.Hayes averaged 16.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game in the new season, with only assists less than a double-double.As a striker, the closest person to a triple-double per game is Larry Bird, but his assists are not as high as Hayes.
Although the Bobcats' record leads the league, some people have raised the argument that Hayes deliberately brushed the data.The reason was "If it wasn't for the brush, how could a striker get so many assists?"
This time the skeptic guessed right.Hayes really has the mind to brush up the data this season.The Bobcats are strong, and he makes the pass his first choice, and he's sure to win.In that case, why not make your data look prettier?Hayes wants to create a legend in the league. No matter how high the score is, it is impossible to surpass Jordan's 10 scoring titles. If he wants to leave his name in history, the best way is to get a triple-double in the season.
In this era, it is much more difficult to get a season triple-double than "Big O" Robertson.But Hayes is possible because he has a group of catch-and-shoot shooters around him and the Bobcats play around him.The most important point is that Durant has the potential to become a scoring machine. With him by his side, Hayes doesn't have to focus on scoring.Just look for the opportunity to pass to Durant.While brushing assists, it can also help Durant build confidence.
There are many people in this alliance who want to brush data, but few can do it well.This still needs to be built on a strong foundation.Hayes' data mainly comes from the offensive end. If he relaxes the defense of outside players on the defensive end, that is, the opponent does not follow up after the pick-and-roll, then his rebounds must be more than 10.6.This season, Hayes' role is more like a small forward.
In the first month, Hayes was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month.The two-game suspension did not reduce people's evaluation of him. On the contrary, most fans believe that Hayes is the toughest person in the league.Facing Artest's provocation and daring to fight, this is exactly the performance of his tough temperament.
James' data is not inferior to Hayes, 28.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.6 steals.However, the record of the Cavaliers is worse than that of the Bobcats, so James still has no chance to win the best.James has been suppressed by Hayes, depressed to the extreme.
Howard's data is not bad, 20.6 points and 13.8 rebounds.The most amazing thing is that Howard has achieved such data, but he is not the league's rebounding leader.
The new rebounding leader is Knicks rookie Kevin Love.
Eddie Curry, the inside overlord who carries countless expectations and looks forward to conquering the league, has only played three games in the new season because of a knee injury.He has been completely useless.What's even more tragic is that the Knicks and Curry are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they have reached the point of sinking together.Curry has been unable to rally to help the Knicks out of the predicament, he has become a lingering nightmare for the Knicks.
No matter how the Knicks plan in 2010, Curry is an inseparable part of it.Curry's salary in the 10-11 season reached 1120 million US dollars.If the Knicks can't trade Curry, then the Knicks' options in 2010 will be very limited, and the plan to introduce superstars will also come to naught.
Therefore, Love became the inside core of the Knicks in his rookie season. He averaged 35 minutes per game, scoring 14.8 points, 14.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists.Such a result exceeded the expectations of the Knicks executives for him. If Bunch Wells hadn't taken up a lot of shots, Love's scoring data might have increased.
Love ranks first in the rookie rankings without any suspense. The fly in the ointment is that the Knicks have a record of 3 wins and 13 losses, which is the bottom of the league.
The current scoring leader is Devin Wade with 29.2 points.The assist leader is Chris Paul with 11.4.After the Suns introduced O'Neal and increased the offensive position, Nash's assists have dropped to 9.6...
The success of Love's rookie season and the sinking of Nash prove that player statistics are closely related to team tactics and lineup.
Best lineup for the first month: Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Chuck Hayes, Dwight Howard.
There is a dark horse team this season, and that is the Trail Blazers. They failed to make the playoffs last season and ranked fifth in the Western Conference this season.
There is also a disappointing team, and that is the Timberwolves.It was expected that the Timberwolves would recover quickly after their sluggish start.As a result, they went from bad to worse.A series of troubles broke out.Starting center McDyess will miss six weeks with a shoulder injury.The Timberwolves can only use the old Mutombo as the starting center.Such an effect can be imagined.In addition, the Minnesota's back line also had problems. Iverson was in a downturn, McCants was injured, and the starting shooting guard could only be sent to second-year rookie Afflalo.
Under such a premise, Timberwolves general manager and head coach McHale took the initiative to find Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins during the intermission and proposed a deal.
The Timberwolves hope to use Allen Iverson as a bargaining chip to trade Bobcats center Marc Gasol and point guard Billups.Although Iverson's data this season has dropped a lot, it is still much better than Billups.And the Bobcats just need to send the team's third center, Marc Gasol, to make the deal.Iverson's contract expires next year.The Bobcats can also choose to renew their contract with a low salary or vacate their salary to attract other stars.
This trading plan immediately received the high attention of the Bobcats executives.After all, Iverson is the former MVP of the league.Because of the never-say-die spirit has attracted a large number of fans.The former MVP Iverson and the current MVP Hayes partner, Rod Higgins thinks it will be a big attraction.The Bobcats' current lineup is complete, but it doesn't mean they can't be traded, it just depends on whether the chips given by the opponent are enough.
After the Bobcats beat the Mavericks, they challenged the Thunder away.The Thunder has two stars, Al Jefferson and Rashard Lewis, as well as a potential rookie like Jeff Green, but the new season is a mess, and they are temporarily far away from the top 8.Their failure proved the importance of team basketball. Al Jefferson averaged 20.2 points, 11 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, but it was difficult for the team to win.When Lewis reached the contract year, he should have desperately fought for a big contract, but his data began to decline, only 17 points and 5.2 rebounds.
The Thunder's defense was terrible, and only Collison was fierce in defense, but he was just savage and had no skills at all.The Thunder couldn't break through the Bobcats' defense either.In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Thunder 108 to 86. Hayes had enough assists in this game, scoring 14 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists.
His assists came easily, throwing Durant from the outside line and almost scoring a goal.Durant was supposed to be the signature player of the Thunder, but by mistake he became the one who slaughtered the Thunder.He played 36 minutes in this game and scored 36 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. His role in the Bobcats is to grab points, and he doesn't care about anything else.In addition, Mike - Miller also got a season-high 24 points, 8 of 6 three-pointers.
Back in Charlotte, Rod Higgins and Jordan immediately convened a meeting with the coaching staff and Hayes to discuss whether to trade with the Timberwolves.
Big boss Bob Johnson is interested in Iverson, and Higgins and Jordan feel feasible.Iverson's reputation and influence are far greater than that of Billups, and Billups has no honor except for a Finals MVP.Iverson has both strength and experience, and can bring market benefits to the Bobcats.Although such a deal, Billups and Gasol will certainly not be willing to go.But Iverson seems more attractive.
Several senior leaders wanted to change, but Hayes was the first to raise his hand to express his opposition.He said firmly: "Iverson must not come to the Bobcats. Even if I exchange Hill and Morrow, I don't recommend trading!"
"Why? Iverson won the league MVP. He helped the Timberwolves win the championship last season. And he is very influential, but he has been in a downturn recently. Wouldn't it be better for us to exchange for an All-Star player?" Jordan said : "He is now starting to think about the problem from the perspective of a boss. In his opinion, Iverson means making money.
"It's not an All-Star problem. It's Iverson's style that doesn't suit the Bobcats. We now have a clear division of labor. Chauncey (Billups) is a low-key person. He never grabs the shot. He only stood up to score when he was not incapable of attacking, but he did not attack. This is the most rare point. Now we have a clear division of labor. I am responsible for attacking and distributing the ball, and Kevin (Durant) is responsible for stealing. points, Chauncey plays a role in stabilizing the rhythm. If Iverson comes, can he organize the offense? He will definitely rush to shoot, and attack with the ball, because this is his style. Once he grabs the shot Offensive, Kevin can't play. I'm afraid I will also become a blue-collar rebounder for him. Although Iverson is famous, but his scoring ability is not as good as Kevin, I can be sure of this. How can we send Good team player, what about bringing back someone who could ruin the team chemistry?"
Jeff Van Gundy also immediately stated: "I agree with Chuck. Iverson is not suitable for the Bobcats. His height is only 180cm, and his physique is too thin. Defense will definitely become a loophole. Chauncey's defense is in the ball The guards can rank among the top five in the league. We don't need Iverson to attack, we need Chauncey to defend."
D'Antoni likes players with good passing awareness, not guys who put offense first.He smiled and said, "I don't think it's appropriate either."
"Then they all disagree? Then I'll explain to the big boss." Jordan said with a smile, "So do we still need to trade this season?"
"No need, now our lineup is perfect. It would be bad to change it. As long as the emotions of the players are stabilized and there are no conflicts among teammates, we are likely to win the championship this season." D'Antoni said.
After deliberation, Higgins called McHale and rejected the Timberwolves' trade proposal.If the Timberwolves want to maintain the competitiveness of the team, they must trade in exchange for good inside players.They had to find another buyer.The Bobcats are not interested in Iverson, but there are still plenty of teams that are interested in Iverson.The Pacers, Kings and other teams negotiated with the Timberwolves.
Kings are eager to send Mike Bibby.Bibby's condition is also terrible, and the contract is so big that it is driving people crazy.Of course, the Pacers want to send the team's number one burden, Jermaine O'Neal.But no matter how the deal is done, it seems that the Timberwolves will suffer.
In the end, they contacted the Pistons. The Pistons wanted to rely on Iverson's influence to save the sluggish market, and were willing to send Hamilton and Roy Hibbert in exchange for Iverson.Hibbert's playing performance is too soft and does not meet the requirements of the Pistons, and Hamilton's data this season has also begun to decline.
The deal between the two teams is very likely to be completed in the near future.
