NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

(4000 words long chapter!)

On June 26, the day after successfully signing with Leonard, there are still 5 days before the free agent market opens.

There are still four spots left on the roster, and Tang Yu needs to strengthen the team's inside players.

The current league is in a stage of transition between the old and the new, and the sunset of veterans is gradually accepting veteran contracts. There are many former All-Star veterans in the player market.

Today, Tang Yu did not go to the Rockets training center, but worked from home.

After arriving in the study, Tang Yu opened the list of veterans and free agents prepared by the Rockets scouts!

Tang Yu needs to find 4 substitutes, at least two inside players, to prevent the inside players from being injured and no one is available.

After scanning the roster, there are still many good players.

Stackhouse: The former two-time All-Star guard is now at the end of his career.

Richard Hamilton: The current league mid-range shooter who has played for the Pistons for 9 seasons still managed to score 14.1 points per game last season.

When it comes to mid-range shooting, Hamilton can be said to be the best except Alan Houston.

The two have different styles. Hamilton is the kind of player who runs madly to find opportunities in every game.

Hamilton, who practiced long-distance running when he was a child, once vomited Kobe Bryant during a game.

Kobe even joked in an interview that Hamilton's physical fitness made him feel like he was "vomited by running", describing Hamilton as tireless like a "robot".

Jason Richardson: 30-year-old unrestricted free agent, two-time dunk champion.

He is in his prime, has the experience of leading the team as a quasi-core player, excellent physical fitness, comprehensive offensive skills, and is an upper-middle candidate for breakthroughs and three-pointers.

Michael Redd: At the age of 32, he is already plagued by injuries. Redd is a very good outside shooter, but his injuries can no longer allow him to perform better on the court. He is an unrestricted free agent.

Mike Bibby: He reached the finals with the Heat last season. At the age of 33, he is already an unrestricted free agent. Nicknamed "White Devil", he is experienced and was once the main point guard of the Kings in his peak period. He has excellent passing awareness, relatively more personal offensive means, and a relatively stable three-pointer.

Earl Boykins: A 35-year-old unrestricted free agent. In Tang Yu's view, this brother is a miracle in the basketball world. With an official height of 165, he can become a wanderer in the league. It is already a legendary existence.

Mike Dunleavy: A 31-year-old unrestricted free agent.

Main advantages: He has a good shooting touch, his scoring range covers both inside and outside the three-point line, and his offensive means are quite rich.

Main disadvantages: poor defense, poor physical health, with the increase of age, the risk of decline is getting greater, and personal offense cannot drive the team.

Grant Hill: 39-year-old unrestricted free agent, followed the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals last season and lost to the Rockets.

Main advantages: extremely rich experience, has the experience of a top swingman in the league, plays smartly, and maintains an extremely good state at the age of 39.

Main disadvantages: he is already 39 years old and has been seriously injured, so there is basically no room for him to be seriously injured again. If there is an injury lasting three or four months, it means retirement.

Tayshaun Prince: 31-year-old unrestricted free agent, nicknamed Prince, he is a member of the Pistons Five Tigers, and has played for the Pistons for all 9 seasons in his career.

Main advantages: excellent height and wingspan, with the league's first-class defensive ability, can connect the inside and outside well, and has achieved a balance in experience and physical strength. At the age of 31, there are still about three years of good time, and 9 years of playing experience makes him much smarter on the court.

Main disadvantages: Not dominant enough on the court, easy to go with the flow, a very good puzzle in the championship Pistons, but sinking with the team in the rebuilding Pistons, unable to take on the responsibility of a team core.

Andrei Kirilenko: 30-year-old unrestricted free agent, Russian AK47, the only player in history who has the hope of getting a five-double!

Main advantages: Excellent athletic ability, excellent skills in assisting defense, once the most versatile small forward in the league, scoring, assisting, blocking, stealing and rebounding, averaging 16.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.9 steals per game in his peak period, and now he is only 30 years old.

Main disadvantages: One person cannot support the entire team, not as good as assisting defense in one-on-one defense, an excellent second-in-command, but notIs a qualified leader.

Caron Butler: 31-year-old unrestricted free agent, two-time All-Star.

Main advantages: He was once a top-notch small forward in the league, and is still in his prime. He has the basic qualities of a team core and can use his abilities to create opportunities to drive the team's offense. At least he is a very qualified second-in-command of the team.

Main disadvantages: His body is vulnerable to injuries. He only played 29 games in the past season, 74 games in the previous season, and 67 games, 58 games and 63 games before that. At present, he needs to be used in conjunction with other inside and outside stars, and has not proven his ability to lead the team alone.

Chris Wilcox: 29-year-old unrestricted free agent.

Main advantages: He has the height of a standard power forward, good confrontation ability, above-average athletic ability, a tough playing style, and excellent rebounding protection ability;

Main disadvantages: His playing attitude is average, he often gets emotional, lacks a strong enough competitive consciousness, and his shooting range is average. He is an opportunist who looks for opportunities to score under the basket.

Glen Davis: 25-year-old unrestricted free agent, 206 cm tall, 289 pounds, a fat guy.

Main advantages: good confrontation ability, can play center at a certain moment, has a good shooting touch, excellent mid-range, and has the unique fighting spirit of a Celtics rookie;

Main disadvantages: due to his large weight, his athletic ability is slightly insufficient, and he is easily bullied by the opponent's continuous bounce in the battle for rebounds in the interior;

Kenyon Martin: 34-year-old unrestricted free agent.

Main advantages: rich experience, good mid-range shooting ability, good blocking ability, has experienced big storms, and understands the situation on the basketball court;

Main disadvantages: older, has been seriously injured, so there is a possibility of injury at any time or even season reimbursement.

Carl Landry: 28-year-old unrestricted free agent.

Main advantages: full of fighting spirit, good jumping ability, rich offensive means, face-to-basket, back-to-basket and secondary offense are all remarkable, with a diamond-like temperament;

Main disadvantages: not tall enough in the offense in the restricted area, lack of potential to become a star power forward, currently the limit is a qualified starter or the team's third inside player.

Chris Humphries: 26-year-old unrestricted free agent, who scored a double-double of 10 points and 10.4 rebounds last season.

Main advantages: tough playing style, excellent inside confrontation, excellent rebounding ability, personal offense is also good, assists and blocks are also above the average inside level.

Main disadvantages: short burst time, whether it has endurance is not yet known, with a famous fiancée in the entertainment industry, off-court affairs may take up a certain amount of time, there is a possibility of sinking after signing a big contract.

David West: 31-year-old unrestricted free agent, 03 platinum generation rookie, 206 cm tall All-Star power forward.

Main advantages: excellent offensive means, full set of inside offensive ability, scoring range from mid-range to the basket, can be called a team's second-in-command and the top inside star, with a blue-collar center can have an inside line above the league's average level.

Main disadvantages: average defensive ability, average rebounding ability, average team connection ability, can not be the only core of a team, because of the lack of the ability to create opportunities for teammates and pass the ball.

There are quasi-All-Star centers such as Hilario Nene and Tyson Chandler in the center position, but the Rockets can't sign them at all.

However, there are also qualified substitutes such as Hawes and Korstic.

However, there is another person who also attracted Tang Yu's attention, Hai Ye Chuck Hayes, the Rockets pocket center who once fought side by side with Dayao.

Finally, Tang Yu locked several players.

Carl Landry, the former Rockets' tough player and the power forward known as the 'Bird of God' by Rockets fans.

Chuck Hayes, the Rockets' meritorious player.

Glen Davis, the 'Big Baby'.

As for other positions, Tang Yu also has two favorite players, one of whom is the super sixth man Jamal Crawford, whom Tang Yu admires very much.

However, Crawford's salary is a very big problem, and another point is that the Rockets can provide him with too little room to play. Crawford can only serve as a fixed-point shooter in the Rockets, which is a bit of a waste of talent.

The other one is Gerald Green, the 'Son of Houston' from Houston. This nine-finger dunk king is also somewhat in the league.Feeling like a homeless person.

His offensive ability is not bad, he has a good ability to attack the basket, and Green can also practice a good three-pointer.

Tang Yu plans to choose two of these four people to fill the Rockets' 15-man roster. Except for Crawford and Glen Davis, these four people have contracts, and Tang Yu may need to make some operations to achieve his wish.

Tang Yu saw a name when he read to the end, Greg Oden.

Although he is a restricted free agent, the Portlanders may match Oden's offer. They can be said to still not give up on Oden.

Speaking of Oden, Tang Yu immediately thought of the Portland Trail Blazers' team doctor.

The Portland Trail Blazers' medical team is known for its stubbornness and willfulness, and it is the most famous "veterinary" team in the league.

Because under their treatment, many players' injuries became more and more serious, and they either died or retired in the end, because their treatment ability was too poor.

The most recent one is Rudy Fernandez's explosive physical fitness. He explained what it means to "white people can fly."

He has comprehensive skills, accurate shooting, and good passing ability. He was expected to become an All-Star. But when he met the Trail Blazers, he could not cure minor illnesses and had no way to deal with major illnesses. He spent 3 years of his career in the Trail Blazers and suffered minor injuries.

The red giant Bill Walton is 2.11 meters tall, with a large frame and obvious advantages as a big center.

He joined the Trail Blazers as the No. 1 pick, but was affected by injuries in his first season.

He suffered from knee and ankle injuries in the following seasons, and his condition also declined rapidly.

He spent 4 seasons at the peak of his career in the Trail Blazers, but because his injuries were not cured, his data declined significantly after the transfer, and he finally retired after playing for 10 years.

In addition, Sam Bowie, a star in the 1980s, and Sabonis, known as the "Roof of the World", are all like this.

And I believe everyone knows the most famous "Yellow Mamba" Brandon Roy in the "Veterinary" team, who is comparable to Kobe.

Roy's body is fragile, and coupled with the unprofessionalism of the Trail Blazers, Roy has never been healthy in his career. He had great potential and was expected to become a superstar, but it was ruined by injuries.

If Tang Yu remembered correctly, Roy should retire in a few days!

It can be seen that the Trail Blazers' ability to destroy stars is unparalleled.

Tang Yu looked around and found that there were really few players who met the capabilities of his team. Either the Rockets could not afford to pay, or they did not meet the team's requirements.

In the end, he locked in a few players.

Shooting guard swingman Gerald Green;

Blue-collar center Carl Landry;

Pocket center Chuck Hayes;

Tonnage power forward Glen Davis;

Greg Oden, who would be the No. 1 pick if selected 10,000 times.

Tang Yu wanted to challenge Oden's injury, but the Rockets' medical team was not top-notch.

Pick up the phone in his hand and call Sam Hinkie, "Sam, which team has the best medical team in the league?"

Sam Hinkie immediately said: "It must be the Suns' medical team. They have top orthopedic surgeon Thomas Carter, who is the best doctor in the world. Of course, he also has a best partner, top trainer Aaron Nelson!"

Then Sam Hinkie carefully explained to Tang Yu the amazing features of these two people, which made Tang Yu stunned.

With the cooperation of these two people, Nash's injuries, Stoudemire's injuries, and Hill's injuries can be said to be easily solved and cured.

"Aren't these the two most outstanding doctors in the medical field!" Tang Yu blurted out.

"That's right, boss. These two are definitely the best team doctors and trainers in the entire league. If Clanton is in the top five in the United States, then Thomas Carter is definitely Hua Tuo's master!"

"Can we let them come to Houston? What do we need to pay?"

Faced with such praise, Tang Yu couldn't wait to poach this super team doctor of the Suns.

"But boss, I want to recommend someone else. The Warriors have a beautiful team doctor who is also good at treatment, Chelsea Ryan! Although she is not well-known, her ability is very strong. If she can come, it will be a very good supplement."

"Oh? Really?"

Tang Yu has some impression that this beautiful team doctor named Chelsea Ryan should be the best doctor of the Warriors, but later she was poached by the Hawks.

It seems that she can't escape the fate of being poached in this life.

"Sam, I need you to contact these three people immediately and bring them to Houston at any cost!"
