I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 235 Last minute deal
Soon, major sports media published a breaking news on the headlines:
"McGrady personally announced an indefinite truce due to injury through social media"

During the fierce battle between the team and the Bucks, McGrady did not contact the team. Using his personal social media platform, he announced that he was temporarily unable to play due to injury. The next game will be suspended and the return date is undecided.

You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder!McGrady used a trick to get rid of the fire from the bottom of the pot, and easily resolved Mosaic's "Tai Chi Pushing Hands".

Don't you want to trade me?I directly announced that I would not play. A McGrady who can't play still has a one-year contract. This season has no trading value.

See what you can do to me!

This time, Mosaic was completely out of action, and he made a fool of himself in the interview, and was ridiculed by the unscrupulous media.

However, with this move, Mai Di killed [-] enemies and lost [-]!
It doesn't matter how you are hurt normally, but at the critical moment of the transaction, it is a big taboo to overturn the transaction in this way!

Now the whole world knows that he made his own decision not to play without consulting with the team!So willful, so arrogant, comparable to Marbury's unhappiness in New York.And what happened after Marbury made a fuss is obvious to all.

McGrady is finished, even if he can regain his form in the future, but with such a dark history, no team dares to give him a big contract.

Cooperation benefits both, while separation hurts both.McGrady pushed himself and the Rockets into the abyss.

The whole world feels sorry for McGrady, and a generation of superstars has fallen.

However, Dorsey knew that maybe things were not as bad as imagined.

Compared with the previous life, McGrady's expression this time is a bit more tactful, and also left a gap.

He didn't say "reimbursement for this season", but used an ambiguous expression "indefinite truce".

This does not set a deadline, and it also leaves the possibility of a comeback this season.

Of course, after the comeback, whether the Rockets still need it is another matter.

The deal was rejected, but the team was even more panicked.

Because, everyone knows that the Rockets will definitely have a deal next.And anyone may be the target of the transaction.

Only three people on the team are safe now: Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, and Dorsey.

On the evening of February 2, the Rockets defeated the Mavericks at 20:93 at home.

Under the fear of being traded, each player burst out with a strong desire to win and combat effectiveness.

The fans were surprised to find that these guys can also play well, but they must have a gun behind them.

That night, all kinds of rumors boiled to a peak.

People are looking forward to the dramatic Last minute deal.

However, as soon as the rumors of a deal were aborted, O'Neal almost boarded a flight to Cleveland, but eventually stayed in Phoenix.

The big names in the league are all staying at home, and it doesn't look like any high-profile trades will happen.

But the real last-second buzzer trade still happened. As in the previous life, in a four-team trade, Alstom was sent away to get Kyle Lowry of the Grizzlies and CD Roberts of the Celtics. , plus $200 million.

This is different from the previous life, where Alston was also sent away in the previous life, but Lowry and power forward Cook were exchanged.

In this life, due to the existence of Dorsey, the Rockets' inside line is a little bloated, but the outside line is short of major generals, so they bought two outside players.

Needless to say, Lowry, although he has shown All-Star level strength and received an annual salary of 3000 million+, but now he is only a rookie in the third year of the league, worth only 109 million US dollars, and his height is only With a height of 1 meters, it is difficult to expect him to make substantial contributions to the Rockets at this stage.

And CD Roberts is Dorsey's former teammate, the scoring leader of the University of Memphis, and the most "iron" nerve knife in the Memphis Iron Triangle.

CD Roberts had a rough time with the Celtics. He basically couldn't get any chance to play in the defending champion team. He occasionally showed up, and it was also during garbage time. His technical statistics were messed up and very ugly.

This time he came to the Rockets purely as an addition.

Regarding this transaction, the old man of the "Houston Chronicle" Frank Bilimberley gave a C- evaluation and made a detailed analysis:
"The Rockets waited until the last minute to finally agree to this deal, which shows that it was really difficult to make a decision. But in the end, Daryl gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to make a decision. He gave away one and got two, plus a sum of cash , It seems to have made a profit, but can the Rockets really get better?
Yes, Alston has never been a reassuring player, especially in the playoffs, his nerve-like performance will be even more magnified.

But he has been in the Rockets for four years, and he has established a deep understanding with Yao Ming, Battier, Scola, Landry, and even Metta World Peace and Dorsey.They understand each other's habits and needs, and Alstom also understands the requirements of the Adelman system.In the last two seasons, Alstom has received much less criticism than in the past.Now, Alston can not only penetrate the opponent's soul with a breakthrough, but also pass through the opponent's defense from time to time.

Although he has natural shortcomings in defense, Metta Shiping, Battier, and Dorsey can all use help defense to make up for the lack of perimeter defense. The overall defense of the Rockets can still be seen when McGrady is not on the court. Van Gundy's shadow.

The point guard is the brain and engine of a team, and the starting point of the team's offense and defense. A team changing the point guard is like changing the head coach, and it takes a long time to adapt.But there is not much time left for the Rockets, and the schedule has entered the final 1/3 of the sprint stage!

I understand that the Rockets have wanted Lowry for a long time. They don't want to let go of this young and talented guard.I admit, it's a good investment for the future.

However, this deal should have appeared in the summer instead of now, just like a racing car should change its engine before starting instead of suddenly changing it halfway through the race. Can the Rockets car still complete the run-in and sprint at full speed?

Lowry is only 1 meters tall, 83 centimeters shorter than Alston, and has the same weight. If Alston suffers when defending strong guards like Billups and Deron, then Lowry can defend them. ?
Lowry has no three-point shooting range, and his three-point shooting rate is less than 25%. The Rockets' play style with Yao Ming as the core requires outside shooting. Obviously, this is not Lowry's characteristic.

Lowry may be fine in the future, but I'm on the fence about his performance this season.As for another contact object, CD Roberts, the only hope is that Dorsey can help him regain a little bit of feeling, but as for the contribution to the Rockets, let's talk about the $200 million!

All the doubts, too many, we have to continue to read, but I am no longer so optimistic about the prospects of the Rockets this season. The night is getting smaller, and the possibility of not making the playoffs is increasing! "
