Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 194 The performance of the substitutes
After the Rockets lost to the Jazz in the away game, they went directly to Seattle. On the plane to Seattle, the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Garnett sat beside Olajuwon and whispered: "Hakeem, why didn't the coach let us play last game."

Olajuwon heard Garnett's question with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and whispered: "Kevin, you have to know, this is the club's arrangement, we just need to execute it."

Garnett still didn't understand, and continued to ask: "The club's arrangement, why is it arranged like this, is there any plan?"

Olajuwon said indifferently: "Maybe some people are leaving soon."

Garnett was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Leave, whoever wants to leave, Bus, Rossi, Crohill, Sboga, or Antonio, whoever wants to leave."

Olajuwon looked at Garnett and said with a smile: "Kevin, what are you doing so suddenly? After all these years, you still can't see it?"

Garnett reacted at this time, and said with some helplessness: "Someone is leaving again."

Olajuwon shook his head and said, "Kevin, this is business. You have to know that the current Rockets can only bring people who can keep up with one goal. Some people who are not suitable or can't keep up will be dumped." No, you have to have such a mental preparation when you start playing professional games, if you don’t have this kind of mental preparation, you don’t want to play professional games.”

Garnett nodded and said, "I know, Hakeem, I just didn't expect this time to come so soon. I always thought that such a thing would only happen after the end of the season."

Olajuwon patted Garnett without saying anything, and continued to close his eyes and rest.

Garnett just shook his head bitterly, then closed his eyes and began to rest.

On April 1999, 4, the Rockets challenged the Supersonics away. After a rest, the Rockets faced the Supersonics full of energy.

In this game, the bus continued to start, Garnett returned to the main lineup, Crohill still occupied the starting lineup, Ray Allen and Bodi Roga also returned to the main lineup.

After the start of the game, Daba continued to use his physical advantages in the interior to attract defense for his teammates, open up space, and then pass the ball. He also performed his best on the defensive end. He has a large coverage of the basket and a wide range of activities. It's also very big, coupled with excellent physical strength and superior strength, the Supersonic's inside line is always under strong pressure.

The excellent performance of the bus made Olajuwon who was doing off the court very happy. It was very gratifying to see this outstanding young man grow to such a level.

Lao Tang is also very happy to see the excellent performance of the coach. Although he knows that the coach will leave the Rockets this year, he is also very happy as a coach to see such an excellent player under him. It is already a miracle that a player who joined the Rockets can reach such a level with a basic salary player.

The Rockets controlled the tempo on the court and ended the first quarter.

After a short break, the second quarter began. The Rockets still did not replace Bus and Crohill, but replaced Garnett and Malik Rose. Under Bodi Roga's scheduling, the Rockets The three substitutes showed great competitiveness.

Crohill and Ray Allen are the two major pitchers who are constantly biting the perimeter of the Supersonics. Payton has few ways to face Bodi Roga. You can prevent them from scoring, but you can't. People assist ah.

Now the Rockets' offensive power on the field is still quite strong, and there is no need for a point guard like Bodi Roga to take a shot. What he has to do now is to accurately hand the ball into the hands of open players.

The entire second quarter was simply the Rockets' half-court offensive and defensive drills, Bodi Roga's scheduling, bus support, mid-range shots and offense at the basket, Malik Rose's solid basic skills at the basket, and a reduced version from time to time The 'Dream Dance', Crohill and Ray Allen's precise shots from the outside, for a time the Sonics were like a group of high school students, stunned by the Rockets' passing and scheduling.

At the end of the second quarter, the Rockets had stretched the score to more than 12 points.

During the intermission, Lao Tang was very happy to praise, the Rockets' substitute players heard Lao Tang say to the bus: "Hey, bus, you played really well, I thought it was the one standing on the court" African Mountains, well done. Malik, you did a great job too. You filled in the gaps left by Kevin. You have to know that your kid is facing Vin Baker, although he is now a drunkard. But your strength is still very good, I hope you will continue to maintain it. Austin, you are also very good, and your shooting is extremely accurate today. It seems that when you were in the Pacers, Larry taught you a lot."

Croshere said with a smile: "Larry taught me a lot, but it's a bit expensive. Every shot is a bet. He can win 10 times out of 8, and each time is 100 dollars. I lose 500 dollars every week." above."

Everyone in the Rockets chuckled for a while, everyone still knows this matter very well.

However, Crozier changed the subject and said: "But after Cassel left, Larry met an opponent. As far as shooting is concerned, the two are definitely evenly matched. When a man shoots the ball, he won’t lose if he’s on Larry’s body, but after Sam’s gone, that’s no longer the case, only God knows who wins or loses.”

When Lao Tang heard this, he laughed and said, "That's right, that brat Kenny was often scolded by Sam. Well, don't talk about anything else, I'll tell you the precautions for the second half of the game."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the tactical board and explained the specific tactics loudly.

After an adjustment at halftime, the Seattle people tried to start a counterattack. Vin Baker tried to beat Malik Rose many times, but under the strong defense of Malik Rose, the Supersonic's attempt failed.

Under the defense of Bodi Roga, who was also lost by Payton, Schramf had no choice but to face Croshire, who was more than 10 years younger than himself.

After finishing the third quarter, the Sonics lost the ability to resist.

The fourth quarter of the game can only be regarded as an offensive and defensive drill for both sides. After the Rockets narrowly lost to the Jazz at 111:99, the Rockets once again opened their own road to victory.

After defeating the Supersonic Rockets, they returned to Houston, where they will face the Warriors and Spurs at their home court.

Golden State is easy to deal with, but the Spurs are not so easy to deal with.

After returning to Houston, the bus received a call from Tiger, and Tiger said on the phone: "Bus, after training tomorrow, can you come to my office?"

The bus was a little strange, but still agreed: "Okay, boss, I will be on time, what's the matter?"

Tiger smiled and said, "Come on, you will know."

With doubts, after the training ended the next day, the bus came to Tiger's office, knocked on the door, and Tiger's voice came out, saying, "Please come in."

The bus came in, Tiger looked up and saw that it was the bus, he stood up with a smile and said, "Sit down, bus, I haven't chatted with you for a long time, I see you are doing very well recently, have something to drink. "

The bus quickly said, "Let's have a cup of tea."

Tiger smiled, picked up the phone and sent two cups of tea.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Tiger started talking, and heard Tiger say: "Bus, you have been with the Rockets for several years."

The bus said without hesitation: "I have been in the United States for four years, and I have been in the Rockets for three seasons."

Tiger nodded and said with some emotion: "Yes, it has been 4 years. I remember you were only 20 years old when you came here, and now you are 24 years old. The time is so fast."

The bus also said with some emotion: "Yes, I remember when I first came to the United States, I was a rookie who didn't know anything. Now I have won the championship ring."

The bus shook his head with some self-deprecating, watching the action of the bus, Tiger said with a smile: "Okay, don't be emotional, we are not yet 7.80 years old, I actually called you here this time to ask for your opinion .”

The bus froze for a moment, then said, "I asked for my opinion, what is it?"

Looking at the bus, Tiger's face gradually became serious and said: "Man, the Eagles have already applied for a trade with the Rockets, and they want to trade you."

Daba was taken aback at the time, but the years of foreign life also tempered Daba's temperament.

Surprise is surprise, Daba knows that in this alliance, there is no one who cannot be traded, it just depends on whether the chips are enough.

The bus pondered for a moment and said, "Then what does the club mean?"

Tiger said: "Bus, what the club means is what you mean. We respect your ideas. If you don't want to leave the Rockets, I won't let you leave."

The bus fell silent, pondered for a long time and said, "Boss, who am I going to trade as a bargaining chip?"

Tiger looked at the bus and confessed his thoughts. Tiger said: "Bus, we want to get the No. 99 pick in the [-] draft. Our bargaining chips are you, Malik and Crozier. I hope you understand that, All of this is up to you, you are different from others, you were brought out of China by me personally, we are more like friends. That’s why I asked you to discuss.”

The bus didn't make a sound, took a sip of tea silently, and then said, "Boss, may I know who your goal for next year is?"

Tiger said in a deep voice, "It's Dayao."

The bus stared blankly, and said, "You mean Dayao."

Tiger nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I'm talking about Dayao."

The bus thought for a while and said, "The place I'm going to is Eagle, right?"

Tiger said: "Yes, they are very sincere. They decide that after you go to the Hawks, they will trade Mutombo away and leave you the main position. It will make you an Eagle. After you leave the Rockets, you can get a main position. I think your performance will be even better. To be honest, the position of the Rockets as a substitute is already a loss for you. You have The ability to play the main force in the league."

The bus thought for a long time, and said very calmly: "I agree with your suggestion, boss, but I hope that my deal will be after this year's competition."

Tiger looked at the bus with a calm face, feeling very uneasy in his heart, Tiger said: "I'm sorry, bus, I can only do this for the future of the Rockets, and you are also an eagle, this stage of the Rockets is not suitable for you, When you arrive at the Eagles, a bigger stage is waiting for you to perform. I agree with their offer. The most important thing is that I don’t want to delay your future. You must know that in the Rockets, you can only continue to be a substitute. If you go to the Eagles, you are completely If you have the potential to become an All-Star player, I have great confidence in your strength."

These words, Tiger said very sincerely, looking at the sincere Tiger, the bus smiled, and heard the bus say: "Boss, I understand your thoughts, don't worry, I don't care about that, we are all friends .”

After speaking, Daba left the office with tears in his eyes.

Looking at the bleak back, Tiger let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say.

However, for the future of the Rockets, Tiger can only go on hard-hearted, sorry, bus.

　Ask for everything you can ask, thank you from the heavens.
