Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 91 [The Butterfly Effect strikes, the wolf king teamed up to answer]

The Rockets won two more games and achieved 25 consecutive victories. The form is very good.

However, Hayes' rebirth triggered a butterfly effect, and he has been unable to predict the situation of other teams this season.

At the beginning of the season, Hayes regarded the Spurs as the biggest obstacle for the Rockets to win the championship this season, but after Bowen was injured by him, the Spurs' defense had problems, and then they lost to the Bulls, Mavericks, and Hornets respectively.The Spurs have won four in a row after winning five in a row. In this state, they are likely to fall out of the top four in the Western Conference.

Unlike the successive losses of the Spurs, the Mavericks are getting better and better.Although the record cannot be compared with the Rockets, it has already caught up to the second place in the Western Conference.

The most affected team is the Warriors.Without the number one star Baron Davis, the Warriors' strength has plummeted, and their record has dropped out of the top ten in the Western Conference. It will be quite difficult to catch up with the Hornets and the Clippers, who are seventh in the Western Conference.

The Lakers and Nuggets also fell out of the top eight. Odom was absent for half a month. The Lakers have a record of 1 win and 6 losses and are now ranked ninth. No.15.

According to the current trend, it is difficult for the Warriors to enter the playoffs.Even if the Warriors can make the playoffs, the current top spot has become the Rockets. Naturally, there will be no black-eight miracle of eliminating the Mavericks in history.It is very difficult for other teams to kill the Mavericks with many soldiers and generals.Therefore, the Rockets' main opponents should be the Mavericks and the Suns.

Hayes didn't care about the above changes, but a deal on January 1 surprised Hayes too.

Before that, Hayes wondered one thing, why the "answer" Allen Iverson didn't transfer to the Denver Nuggets as historically developed?Anthony is suspended, the Nuggets should be eager to trade to increase their offensive power.But they didn't do this, and watched the team fall out of the top 8.

The reason why the Nuggets did not come up with an offer that interested the 76ers was because their purpose was the same as that of the Bobcats. They wanted to free up funds and chase Hayes with all their strength in 2007.

The Nuggets gave up the deal, but the 76ers must send Iverson away.

In the end, the Minnesota Timberwolves became the winner of this chase.In order to retain the Wolverine next season, the Timberwolves' high-level team used Randy Foye, Ricky Davis, Troy Hudson and Mike James in exchange for the 76ers' Iverson and a substitute. Forward Ewan McFarlin.

This deal shocked the league, and another superstar went to the West, and it was the combination of two superstars.The Timberwolves had a poor record before, and after the trade, they will become a contender for the top 8 in the Western Conference.

Hayes thought more than anyone else.The meaning of this deal is far more than that. After joining forces with Iverson, will Garnett go to the Celtics?If Garnett doesn't go to the Celtics, Ray Allen may not go either. What will the league look like if the Celtics don't have the Big Three next season?
Apollos, Minnesota.Outside the Target Center arena, fans started a party in the square early in the morning.Allen Iverson's influence is not inferior to Kobe Bryant, ushered in the superstar, Timberwolves fans saw the hope of the team's revival.

The first opponent after the completion of the Timberwolves big deal is the Rockets.

Hayes had a late sleep in the hotel and was woken up by a phone call.

"Hi. Who?" Hayes asked in a daze.

"Hello, Chuck. I'm Kevin," said the other end of the phone.

That's not the case with Kevin's voice.The first thing Hayes thought of was the security friend, and it was impossible for Kevin to make a long-distance call to him.He looked at the number and immediately opened his eyes wide.It's Kevin Garnett!After the Timberwolves at home last time, he and Garnett exchanged phone numbers. Today it was the Rockets' turn to play away, and Garnett took the initiative to call.

"Kevin, it's you. Seeing that I've come to Apolis, are you going to invite me to dinner?" Hayes laughed.

"I want to invite you to dinner, if you are not afraid of being scribbled by the media. Haha, let's come out and talk to you about something. My Hummer is parked in front of the hotel." Garnett laughed.

Hayes immediately finished washing and went downstairs. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Garnett waving to him in the car. Garnett wore a pair of large sunglasses, which almost covered his entire face.

You don't need to look like a spy.When Hayes got into the car, he found a small man with a unique hairstyle sitting next to him.

"Alan?"

This little man is the famous "answer" Iverson.

"Hello, Chuck - Hayes." Allen - Iverson smiled and shook hands with Hayes.

"Nice to meet you. The two of you came to me together, surely it's for next season, right?" Hayes cut to the chase.

"That's right, Chuck. We want to invite you to come to the Timberwolves next season." Kevin Garnett didn't beat around the bush, and said with a smile: "Well, we are both very comprehensive. With Allen's scoring, we can definitely sweep the league! We are the real Big Three!"

Allen Iverson also showed enthusiasm in his eyes, and then said: "You don't have to worry about the contract. Kevin and I will cut the salary together, and you will definitely not suffer. The Timberwolves executives have also promised to trade some qualified substitutes. Players come, and as long as you come, with the reputation of the three of us, we should be able to attract some veterans who want to win the championship, who are capable and willing to cut their salary. Next year's championship must be ours, and we are likely to build a dynasty! "

Garnett's strength needless to say. Didn't the name of "Wolf King" come out.He has comprehensive offensive skills and is also one of the league's few strongmen in defense.

No one will be unfamiliar with Iverson. He was the No. 1996 pick of the golden generation in [-], a four-time scoring champion, and a regular season MVP.He has more fans than Kobe.Even if his condition declines to the point where he can only be used as a substitute in the future, the All-Star voting fans will still put him in the starting lineup.

Hayes thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "Kevin, Allen, I don't deny that you two are very strong, but the current Rockets lineup is already very scary. Not only Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, but also Batty Alston, a defensive expert, has recently left Alston, but Fisher is here again, and there are also a group of strong men on the bench. I think the Rockets have a great chance of winning the championship this year. I don’t want to hide it from you, in fact, I hope It doesn’t matter if you stay in the Rockets next season, even if the salary is lower than outside. I think it’s easier for the Rockets to create a dynasty.”

Both Garnett and Iverson had disappointed looks on their faces.

Garnett said anxiously: "I don't think the Rockets can beat us. You can tell by comparing them. Yao Ming has poor athletic ability. I want to beat him. Allen must be better than McGrady. McGrady is too easy to get injured. You should be better than me. Be more aware of this. I hope you will seriously consider that the Rockets still have many hidden dangers."

"You don't look like someone who has no self-confidence. What are you worried about?" Iverson took a breath and smiled wryly.

"I'm not without confidence. My family and the people I like are all in Houston. If I leave, the fans there will be very disappointed. As long as the Rockets live up to me, I will definitely stay. Sorry, this is my heart Talk." Hayes looked at Iverson and said seriously: "If the contract extension with the Rockets does not go well, I will consider transferring."

"You have a few months to think about it, just remember our proposal. You have to remember clearly that the Timberwolves will definitely be the easiest place to win the championship next season." Garnett said confidently: "This season, you have to beat us. This level, the champion is not necessarily whose."

Iverson smiled and said: "Yes, the two of us are already very strong together. Today you will know that we will do our best to end the Rockets' winning streak."

"It's not that easy to beat the current Rockets." Hayes laughed.

They are all people with a strong desire to win and will not give up easily.Garnett and Iverson valued Hayes the most.

However, Hayes has made a decision in his heart, he does not want to transfer to the Timberwolves.

Two superstars, plus Hayes, it seems that the championship is really in the bag.Is it really the truth?Hayes was skeptical.He even feels a little sorry for the two superstars, because it is very difficult to win the championship with only the performance of the stars and no substitutes.

Hayes admired Iverson.In life, Iverson is confident, brave, never give up, eager, sincere, and unique.On the court, he has sharp breakthroughs, ghostly dance steps, and decisive shots.He is full of personal charm, people can not help but like him.No one will forget that in 2001, Iverson had 21 injuries all over his body, scored 48 points in Angel City, and just won a victory under the top OK combination.In the playoffs that year, the Lakers only lost this game.Since that day, there has been a saying in the world - "There is a spirit called Allen Iverson!"

Admiration is admiration, Hayes does not want to be teammates with Iverson.

Iverson's personal ability is very strong.He has scored four times, averaging 27.8 points per game in his career, and is currently the first among active players in the league; his total career points are close to 20000 points, second only to O'Neal among active players in the league, and the first among guards; he has won a regular Game MVP, two-time All-Star MVP; some people questioned his defense, but he became the steal leader three times; he also led a bad team to win the Eastern Conference championship and reach the finals.

Personal honors, team honors, data, selections, everything related to data can prove that Iverson is very strong.

However, Iverson is not a good team player.If he wants to play at the level, he must have a lot of offensive opportunities with the ball.His offensive efficiency is not high. This season, he averaged 76 points per game for the 31.2ers, shooting only 41% from the field, and less than 30% from three-pointers.In the season when he won the league's regular season MVP, he scored 31.1 points and shot only 42% from the field.

Hayes suspects that if the Timberwolves come, it is very likely that Iverson will have to watch Iverson go it alone with his personal ability, and then he and Garnett will rebound together.

Iverson's playing style makes Hayes not want to come to the Timberwolves, and the substitute players are not strong. The combination of the three of them may not be better than the combination of Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen.The division of labor between the three is very clear, no one has said that he is the boss, and they are all good team players.

In the current situation of the Timberwolves, Iverson will not be willing to be a younger brother, and Garnett's title of "Wolf King" is impossible for people.It's still not clear which of the two is the "leading wolf". Hayes doesn't want to join in the fun, so let's just be Shrek Rocket with peace of mind.
