Skeles immediately contacted Paxson to apply for a transaction.

Paxson immediately found Steve Novak's information and contacted Rockets manager Morey.

At this time, Paxson was willing to listen to Skeles because there was no better choice and he exchanged players according to the coach's requirements. No matter what the result was, his work was done well.

Looking for a ten-day contract worker in the free market, it is impossible for a big man who is good at shooting. It is difficult for the Bulls to win with blue-collar inside, and Novak is indeed a good choice.

In addition to Novak, only Matt Bonner and Brian Cook are the cheapest inside players who can shoot. The Spurs will not let Bonner go, and the Lakers have sent Cook to the Magic in exchange for Ariza.

Everyone saw that the Bulls could only focus on Wang Jun's singles. The inside line was empty and the ball was not thrown into the open space. It didn't matter if one or two games were played. It was so painful in every game.

The Bulls' rhythm of the game has been off track and changes must be made.

Novak was sent to the Grand Canyon Vipers by the Rockets at the end of the month, just in the same team as Watson.

He is 20c tall and weighs 02 kilograms, has poor confrontation and poor athletic ability. Last season, he was selected by the Rockets with a total of 32 picks in the second round, playing 35 games for the team, starting for the first time, scoring .5 points and 0.7 rebounds.

Just looking at the data, Novak is weak, making people wonder if he can do anything.

Rockets manager Morey is a person who likes to analyze data. If he wants to trade players with the Rockets, he will definitely not agree, but Nowak just lets it go.

He felt that he was originally selected by the second round draft pick, but now he will not lose money in the second round. He has also cleared out the useless people.

The Rockets had many surprises on the bench this year, especially Landry performed well. On the 2nd of the 2nd of the month, he scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and double-double, locking the third-man position at the No. 4 position.

Although Landry's defense is not good, he is very brave and has outstanding physical fitness, much better than Novak. He can't compete with Scola and Hayes for positions.

The transaction was announced through league verification, and fans and basketball experts are generally not optimistic.

Many people criticized the boss for being stingy and not finding a good teammate for Wang Jun at all, even Lewis is not a top star. Finding two marginal people from other teams will not change the Bulls' status quo.

Novak was interviewed happily, saying that he would definitely play hard and use his shooting to help the team. He knew that he would definitely get the chance. The second round pick was higher, but he was much better than Ammondson.

Compared with the veteran, he is also unable to defend, so he is better than Howard Zhu Wan. The Rockets sent Howard away in the summer because of his existence.

On the 23rd of the month, the Bulls will play against the Pacers again at home.

The Pacers are also in poor condition recently, Artest was absent from the shoulder injury, and O'Neal Jr. was also injured again.

In last week's game against the Nets, O'Neal Jr. suffered a left knee strain and a sprain of left ankle. The injury was not serious at that time, so O'Neal Jr. missed the game against Sunday's Pistons.

In order to compete for a playoff spot, O'Neal Jr. made another appearance, but he failed to finish the game and was collided by Rashid Wallace. The team doctor said that if he had not brought protective gear at the time, he might have been reimbursed for the whole season.

In this game, O'Neal Jr. failed to make it to the roster. The Pacers' biggest player was Danny Granger. Wang Jun scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the team to easily defeat the Pacers 0-7 and ended his losing streak.

The team rested for two days. After undergoing the physical examination, Novak reported to the Bulls and participated in the first joint training. He said hello to his teammates.

"Hello, Wang Jun. I'm very happy to see you." Novak greeted Wang Jun respectfully, knowing who to please in the team to be able to make a good fortune.

"Hello, Steve, I've been waiting for you for several days." Wang Jun shook hands with him.

"Waiting for me" Novak was flattered.

Wang Jun smiled and said, "Actually, I proposed to exchange you for it, because you can open up the space. What are the correct points to achieve when you train?"

Novak was particularly confident in shooting and immediately replied: "About 90, I am almost the same in every position."

Wang Jun smiled. He didn't find the wrong person, but only looked at the shooting rate during training. Nowadays, Wang Jun only performed particularly well when he was 90 when he was practicing three-pointers, usually between 0 and 5.

If the shooting reaches a certain level, it will also reach a bottleneck, and it will be difficult to improve. Wang Jun’s advantage is that he can create opportunities by himself and get rid of defense in the game. So he is much better than Novak when playing games.

After the group training, Wang Jun and Novak competed with three-pointers, knowing that the opponent was not bragging. Novak's open shooting ability is indeed not inferior to him, and he is at the level of the three-point champion.

However, the Celebrity Weekend Three-Point Competition will not invite no popular marginal people like Novak. Except for three-pointers, everything else is bad. It is also a miracle to be able to play NBA.

One day later, the Bulls defeated the Bobcats 96-90 and won two consecutive victories.

Novak played well for the first time for the Bulls and helped the team with three-pointers. He received a pass from Wang Jun to attract double teams, making 3 of 5 three-pointers, plus two foul free throws to score points.

Nowak often played tactics in college that were similar to those of the Bulls, and his playing style was similar to Lewis, but he didn't have much empty space. It would be great to find a weakened pitcher to replace him at a basic salary.

Watson had two three-pointers, Calderon had two three-pointers, and Wang Jun had three three-pointers. The four ensured the firepower from the outside and regained the offensive feeling.

On the 27th, the Bulls defeated the Suns at home

The Bulls have a serious problem on the defensive end, but the Suns are not much better. They don't even have an orthodox inside line and can only let Stadameier play center.

When Smith comes out, the Suns have to send a 206c-height veteran blue-collar forward Brian Skina who weighs 6 kg to play as a guest center. Skina moves very slowly and can only make a meat shield inside.

In terms of small forwards and shooting guard positions, the Suns have no substitutes at all. If Dior and Bale are out of the field, the Suns will have to play on Marcus Banks as a double defender, and the small forward is Piakowski, who was abandoned by the Bulls.

Piakowski is still the one who can be named by fans. The other substitutes of the Suns are marginal people among the marginal people, and they do not have the ability to play against the NBA.

In the summer, the Suns hope that Grant Hill will join to make up for the shortcomings of the swinger position, and they will renew their contract with Barbosa with high salaries and Dior will not have room to give Hill a high salary.

While joining with a salary cut, Hill decisively chose the stronger Bulls.

The Suns' troubles are far more than that, and Marion also began to have conflicts with the team due to the renewal.

Many people are hard to understand Marion's approach of focusing only on immediate interests. After all, he has won money, reputation and low posts in the Suns, and more importantly, this is still a strong team.

In fact, Marion was dissatisfied with being able to rank behind Nash and Xiaos, and after chatting endlessly, he could only be cleaned. The days when the Suns rebuild were not far away from his departure.

The Bulls strictly prevented outside shooting throughout the game, and single defenses in each position limited the Suns' three-pointers.

The Bulls' outside line was completely shot. Whether Bale or Dior, they could not defend Wang Jun one-on-one. Once Marion went out to double-team, Novak's chance came again.

After three consecutive victories, people were surprised to find that just a Rockets' marginal man was traded, and the Bulls became a strong team again.
