Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 152 Tears of Chicago ([-])

Looking at Drexler's gloomy look, Tiger knew that this NBA 50 superstar must have something unknown in his heart.

Seeing this, Tiger asked, "Clyde, what's the matter for you? Let me know if you have anything. I hope I can help you."

Drexler smiled bitterly, and was silent for a long time. After taking a sip of beer, he said in a low voice: "Boss, do you think I'm really inferior to Michael?"

Tiger was taken aback when he heard this, and then he understood that today's game was Drexler's best game, but it was such a game that was reversed by the Bulls. It made him a little unacceptable.

Olajuwon was on the side, shaking his head with a wry smile. It seemed that these two old guys had been communicating for a long time.

After Tiger lowered his head for a while to consider, he raised his head and said, "Clyde, in fact, you and yourself are wrong. You are a unique 'glider', and Michael is a unique 'flying man'. Your family has nothing at all. Comparability. Although you all play the same position, Michael may be higher than you in terms of personal performance, but you must not forget what the essence of basketball is. Now many people, after entering the league, Forget the essence of basketball. The essence of basketball is to bring joy to people, bring joy, and inspire people to pursue higher, faster and stronger will. I admit Jordan's success, but only Jordan is playing in the league. He can play It is obvious that Jordan's greatness does not lie in how great he is, but that he has a group of great opponents. Malone, Stockton, Charles Barkley, Payton, Miller, Ewing, you, and Hakeem, etc., these people made Jordan great. Jordan just won a few more championships. What I want to tell you is that in this era, the league is repeating such a legend. Impossible. Because, even if there is a Jordan, there will be no such opponent to Jordan."

Both Drexler and Olajuwon were savoring the words, drinking beer in silence.

Tiger didn't speak, and drank beer silently, feeling in his heart the demeanor of the two superstars in front of him.

In the previous life, this year's Rockets were No.8 in the West, and they met the Jazz in the first round. After five games with the Jazz, they ended their game this year sadly, and Drexler was also fighting the Jazz for the last time. After one game, he quietly retired, and the retreat of a generation of superstars also made many fans sigh.

Clyde Drexler, the so-called 'glider' man, in his 15-year career, along with Oscar Robinson and John Havlicek, has become one of the few players in NBA history One of the superstars with over 20000 points, over 6000 rebounds and over 6000 assists.
This man, modest and charismatic, was one of the best players of that era, but he was also unfortunate. When he stepped into the NBA, they were suppressed by more people, from the "black and white duo" in the 80s to The Bad Boys in the early 90s, and then the Red Bulls who dominated the 90s, he was always fighting for a championship ring. Fortunately, in 95, he switched to the Rockets. In the same year, he Finally, one of my dreams came true.

However, who would have thought that such a great player still can't let go of the mentality of comparing himself with others, which is difficult for people to understand.

Drexler put down the beer in his hand and sighed: "Actually, I am already very happy. Looking at Malone, Stockton, and Charles, I am really happy. At least I have more than them." A championship ring, my thanks to Hakeem, a big part of it."

Olajuwon waved his hand and said: "Okay, Clyde, don't talk about this between us. You should know that in 95, if it weren't for you, maybe we would have been out of the game long ago. Don't talk so much." .In fact, we are all the same. I am often compared with Michael. You must know that we are in the same class, I am the champion, and he is the No. [-] pick. This is much heavier than you."

Tiger said on the sidelines: "Actually, don't think so much. This year is the last chance for everyone to prove themselves. Everyone knows that the Rockets came here this year to overthrow the Bulls' dynasty and establish our own dynasty. This year is our best and last chance. When Jordan leaves, if we win the final victory, the meaning will be much lower. So, this year is the last time for everyone to work hard.”

Drexler took another sip of beer, and then said fiercely: "This year, I will try my best to pull Michael down. The boss is right. This is the last chance. There is nothing more to say. , the outcome lies in these few games.”

Olajuwon also nodded and said: "Yes, this year is the last chance, and we must not let it go."

Looking at the two people who had decided to go all out, Tiger didn't need to say anything anymore.

These few people talked about some interesting things, and Tiger made them relax a lot. Looking at Olajuwon, Tiger suddenly remembered something.

So, Tiger said to Olajuwon: "Hakeem, you said that if your group of centers retires, will there be any good centers in the league?"

Olajuwon pondered for a while and said: "Boss, I don't know what kind of excellent center you are talking about. O'Neal is certain. The 50 superstars are not Chinese cabbage. The limit of Mourning's kid is his height." The question is, if he can add another 2 inches, then he will be as powerful as O'Neal. The other ones are the Lithuanian young man in the Cavaliers and the No. [-] pick in the Spurs. The one you fancy must have great potential."

Tiger nodded and said: "You are right, Hakeem, I have really found a good seedling now, very talented, but it takes a lot of training to become a real superstar. There are not many seedlings."

Looking at the characters who were praised fiercely, Olajuwon was also a bit unbelievable. There are really very few characters who can be praised by their boss.

Olajuwon asked: "Then he played in that university."

Tiger shook his head and said, "He's not American, and he didn't play in American universities."

Olajuwon scratched his head and said, "Then he is from that country."

Tiger smiled and said, "He and Bus are compatriots."

Olajuwon was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "He is Chinese. Is there anyone in China who is stronger than the bus at the center position." Olajuwon was very skeptical.

Tiger laughed at the time and said: "This is a young player, just 18 years old this year, but he is now over 2.20 meters tall, and his feet are flexible and have a good touch. As long as the training keeps up, He's going to be a very good player, as much as you exist."

Olajuwon said with some doubts: "Is it really so good?"

Tiger nodded and said: "Yes, he is very good. I am trying to find a way to bring him to the United States. This year is still early. I want to let him hone in China for two years and mature. And after his body is finalized, he will come to the United States, which will also benefit his development. I think he will be able to see him in this year's World Championships, and there will be many outstanding international players in this year's World Championships, so let's pay attention."

Olajuwon said with a smile: "Then I should pay attention to it."

Tiger looked at Olajuwon and said in his heart: You will pay attention, such a player is rare in 20 years, you will definitely pay attention, not only you, but the whole league will pay attention.

The three chatted for a long time, seeing that it was midnight before Olajuwon and Drexler left.

Tiger simply tidied up and went to bed.

On the court, Tiger was thinking about this year, the Basketball World Championships, labor negotiations, and the Football World Cup.

Hi, there are so many things to do this summer, I don't want to sleep.

After a night of nothing, the Rockets started training normally the next morning, but this morning's training was only focused on recovery training.

In addition to explaining some lessons learned from the loss in the last game, the Rockets' training session was completed very quickly.

After dinner in the evening, the Rockets held a tactical layout meeting.

All the players participated, and Lao Tang stood in front of the big conference room and arranged the basic tactics for the Rockets' next game.

This lecture is one hour.

After the matter was over, Tiger found Lao Tang, and heard Tiger say to Lao Tang: "Rudy, what do you think of the player information about this year's World Championship that I gave you a while ago?"

Lao Tang was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I took a rough look, and I understand the key points of the people you marked, but now I can only continue to pay attention, and now the finals are so busy. I haven't been able to Continue to learn more about it.”

Tiger said: "No problem, you will follow the whole process at this year's World Championships."

Lao Tang's complexion changed at that time, and he said, "This summer's vacation is gone, I have already decided to go there for vacation, you are really a capitalist."

Tiger laughed and said, "Hehe, Rudy, don't worry, all your expenses are paid by the club, can you still take your wife with you, treat it as a vacation, Athens is a great place."

Lao Tang bowed his head, thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go. Anyway, Athens is also a tourist city, and it's good to travel while working. But, boss, all your expenses belong to you."

Tiger laughed and nodded, and said, "Don't worry, Rudy, maybe I'll go back and find you. You should know that I'm going to watch the World Cup this year. France and Greece are not far apart by the Mediterranean Sea." .”

Lao Tang also laughed, and said, "Then I will be waiting for you in Athens."

The Rockets players, who were about to go back to their room to rest, saw how relaxed their boss and head coach were, and the invisible pressure of the finals was also reduced a lot, although they didn't know what the boss and coach were talking about.

It seems that the next game is nothing.

　Ask for everything you can ask for, thank you from the heavens
　　Let’s make a setting here. In the Asian Championships in 97, the Chinese men’s basketball team defeated Riyadh, but it is not in this book. Let the Korean horse Xu Zhangxun die. In this book, the one who is playing in the NCAA is famous, and the other is sharing the playing time of the main substitute in the best team in the NBA. I don't believe that he can't be dealt with.I wanted to explain it in the book, but I forgot, sorry everyone.
