Basketball Myth: Super Guard

The row between coach Collins and general manager Stefanski came to an end after the Sixers held a press conference to clarify.

However, just a day later, the 76ers faced the challenge of the Timberwolves at home, but coach Collins did not let Hawes start, but sent Barty.

This surprised everyone.

Barty is a little overwhelmed. He has always been a substitute, and he is already 34 years old. He will retire after playing for two years at most. He doesn't want to play as a starter, the pressure is too great.

Hawes turned pale for a while, but said nothing.

This is not an adjustment due to tactical arrangements, and even if it is due to tactical arrangements, the coach will usually communicate with the players in advance, but he did not receive any notice, and without communication, he suddenly fell out of the starting roster.

Obviously, this is the arrangement of Coach Collins. Everyone knows that he is dissatisfied with Hawes. Wasn't it that Coach Collins asked the management to trade for a strong insider?

Because of this incident, the atmosphere on the bench of the 76ers was a little depressed, and it also affected the state of the players. At the end of the game, the 76ers lost to the Timberwolves 94-104.

Qin Hao scored 20 points today and scored 20+ again, but he lost the game again, and the team atmosphere was depressed, so he had nothing to be happy about.

Today Hawes only played less than 10 minutes, 8 minutes and 17 seconds to be precise, with 0 points, 1 rebound, and 1 turnover, almost sleepwalking.

Back in the locker room, the players packed up.

Barty glanced at the door, Coach Collins was not in the locker room, he came to Hawes and comforted: "Don't worry too much, maybe Coach Collins just wants to give you a warning, use this method to motivate you, give You have a little pressure. You will be the starter in the next game."

"Will it be?" Hawes shook his head with a wry smile.

There was no sign of this personnel adjustment today, and coupled with the previous "quarrel between Collins and Stefanski", Hawes felt that he might be traded away.

It's not a good thing to be traded less than half a season after coming to the 76ers.

If a player is excellent, he will definitely not be traded away after being traded to a team for less than half a season.

What's more, Hawes's numbers this season are really bad, only a little more than half of last season's. Even if he is still very young, his prospects are not very good.

If you are traded away to a new team, will people value you?

This is probably difficult.

He has been starting in the 76ers because the 76ers are too short of insiders, but if he goes to other teams, I am afraid that he will be a substitute, or even a substitute.

Not only was Hawes apprehensive, but Nosinho was too.

Nosinho, who is only 201cm tall, is actually a striker, but he and Hawes were traded to the 76ers from the Kings. He also served as a starter, but later became a backup. Coach Collins wasn't just dissatisfied with Hawes, he was dissatisfied with him.

If Hawes was to be traded, he felt he might be sent away as a bonus too.

Once sent away, his situation will only be worse than Hawes, after all Hawes is at least young, and there is still hope to turn over, but he is already 31 years old.

Seeing Hawes and Nosinho look like the end is coming, Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh, and he saw another side of the NBA.

In the NBA, some people are dazzling, call the wind and call the rain, become the boss of the team, and even influence the decision-making of the management. But at the same time, there are some people who are struggling on the edge. They have no dazzling brilliance, no salary of tens of millions, and even the future is full of uncertainty.

"This is not something you should worry about." Lu Wei patted Qin Hao and said, "The mobility of NBA personnel is very large. Every year, some people come and some people leave. Some people will become your new teammates, and some will Your old teammates, or even your friends are traded away, and that's the NBA."

"Phew." Qin Hao sighed, his relationship with Hawes and Nosinho was not very good, and the reason why Hawes and Nosinho came to this point had a lot to do with their poor performance. A big relationship, not to mention grievances, just reminded him of a sentence - business is business.

From the past few decades, the word "loyalty" has been circulated in the NBA, Kobe Duncan is loyal to the Spurs, Dirk Nowitzki is loyal to the Mavericks...

But with the passage of time and the changes of the times, everything has quietly changed.

Qin Hao also knows that in a few years, star grouping will become the norm, and the word "loyalty" will become cheaper.

This may also be an inevitability. After all, the NBA is a commercial league, and players are the resources and money-making tools of the NBA. Only when they flow can they bring more benefits to the NBA.

"What do I want to do?" Qin Hao shook his head and couldn't help laughing. He was still a first-year rookie, so thinking about it was too far.

As for Hawes and Nosinho, it is not up to them to decide whether to leave or stay.

......

"Have you heard? The 76ers are going to trade Hawes and Nosinho and use them for a strong inside line to supplement the team's inside line."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Have you seen the news about the quarrel between Coach Collins and the general manager of the 76ers a few days ago? It is said to be for this matter. But Hawes and Nosinho may be difficult to change to a strong insider. At most, it can only be replaced by a good blue-collar player, and maybe the 76ers will get some other chips? Like draft picks, or other players.”

"Will Holiday also be traded? If Holiday is added, the 76ers' chips will be almost the same, and they should be able to get a good insider."

"It's hard to say..."

Because Hawes was suddenly kicked out of the starting list, it aroused the attention and discussion of the outside world.

People are not fools, and media reporters are monkey spirits. In connection with the "quarrel incident" a few days ago, the news that the 76ers are about to trade Hawes and Nosinho suddenly spread.

Even with Holiday.

Then soon came the news that 76ers general manager Stefanski had been furious in his office and even threw his beloved cigar out the window.

Of course Stefanski would be angry, he just calmed down the "quarrel", but Collins suddenly kicked Hawes out of the starting list. What do you think the media would guess?

When did I say I was going to trade Hawes and Nosinho?

This made Stefanski very passive and had a feeling of being put on fire. In his opinion, Collins' operation was for him to see, to force the palace, incite public opinion, and force him to have to trade Hoy. Collins and Nosinho, fulfilling Collins' request for a strong big man.
