Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 218 Celebration and Big Deal
On the second day after defeating the Knicks, the Rockets returned to Houston. Olajuwon was the first to walk out of the staircase of the special plane. Holding the championship trophy, Olajuwon smiled brightly. The Rockets players who returned victorious, tens of thousands of Rockets fans braved the scorching sun to welcome their city heroes.

An open bus, the Rockets players stood on the top of the bus, waving to the fans on both sides of the road.

The bus carrying all the Rockets players slowly drove to the Compaq Center, the home court of the Rockets. There were about [-] fans waiting for the Rockets players to arrive. They wanted to be here with the Rockets players for the last time. Celebrate the rocket's successful defending title here.

With the arrival of the goal and the trophy, the Compaq Center fell into a frenzy again, where countless fans cheered, celebrated, and cheered for their idols and heroes.

Tiger was also celebrating crazily with Amy. All the fans present saw the young couple in the center of the court. They knew that the reason why the Rockets were able to achieve such success was the same as the young man in front of them. Not open.

At this time, the commentator on the Rockets scene, Kenny Smith, a bitch, shouted loudly: "Guys, let our young boss tell us a few words, everyone knows that without the support of the boss, the Rockets It is impossible to have such brilliance, now please let the owner of the Rockets, Mr. Tiger Jones, give you a few words."

Rockets fans, players, and coaches were all cheering and cheering loudly.

Tiger was a little dazed, but he still ended up with the microphone that Drexler handed over. Tiger held the microphone, thought for a while, and said to the microphone, "Say something."

Everyone burst into good-natured laughter.

I heard Tiger continue to say: "Actually, I really don't know what to say. I took over the Rockets at the beginning because I was a Rockets fan and wanted to continue the glory of the Rockets. To be honest, I was actually quite unlucky. We met Michael Jordan back in the first season, everyone knows what it means, well, we met a super team that year. 72 wins and 10 losses, wow, very strong, although it is not us and They played in the Finals, but if we went that year, Michael would come back."

After finishing speaking, Tiger shrugged his shoulders, causing a burst of chuckles.

Then, Tiger continued: "In the second year, our opponent was still the mighty Chicago Bulls, or the god-like Michael, but we still stood in front of them, we gritted our teeth and competed with our opponents for a whole day. 7 games, that series was one of the most exciting finals in my opinion. The lore between us and Chicago, in the end, I already thought it was a normal thing, because the two sides were already in the same game by that time. We took a breath, although we lost, but we can leave with our heads held high, Hakeem became the second player in history to win the Finals MVP from a losing team, we are very proud."

While talking, he pulled out Olajuwon and waved to everyone. Tiger continued: "Then, we ushered in our season. Last season, we overcame many difficulties. The Rockets have won such an astonishing record of 75 wins and 7 losses in the regular season, my thanks to everyone." Before finishing speaking, Tiger bowed deeply to all the Rockets players.

The Rockets quickly helped him up, Tiger waved his hand, and continued: "My thank you, really, you did something that everyone wanted to do but failed to do last season. It was you who defeated Michael Jordan and pulled down the guy who sat high on the altar. You were so good. In that finals, you defeated the Chicagoans with absolute strength. You are the best, and this year you successfully defended your title again, you are the best, you are the best."

Tiger's voice became more and more passionate, and at the end, Tiger was already roaring.

The Rockets fans present also cheered loudly with excitement.

At this time, the atmosphere on the field also reached its peak.The loud cheers nearly burst the roof of the Compaq Center.

After the celebrations between the Rockets players and Rockets fans, Tiger led the Rockets players to the biggest nightclub in Houston, a nightclub that has been booked, and only those with invitation letters can enter.

That night, Tiger spent $25 on drinks, but everyone had a good time, so what is this amount of money worth.

On the second day after the celebration ended, in Tiger's office of the Rocket Club, Tiger looked at the transaction report in hand and secretly calculated the gains and losses.

Lao Tang waited for a while, and said proactively, "Boss, do you think we paid too much for this deal?"

After a while, Tiger shook his head and said: "No, we didn't pay much at all. A championship wants to get the No. [-] pick. Is it possible that we don't pay so much? Are you fools in the league? ?”

Dawson also said on the side: "Yeah, now we are releasing this news in US dollars. If it is released, I don't know how big a sensation it will cause. Once we have the No. [-] lottery, what we have to do is It's going to be a bigger sensation."

Tiger looked at it for a while and said: "I think it's okay, the draft is about to start, everyone act now."

After Tiger agreed, the Rockets started their own big moves.

On the afternoon of the third day of the finals, a shocking deal broke out in the league. The Houston Rockets, who had just become the championship team, made a four-party deal with the Hawks, 76ers and Bulls.

The Rockets sent out the bus, Malik Rose and Crohill got two first-round picks in 99.

Eagles send 'African Mountain' Dikembe Mutombo

76ers send Nazr Mohammed, Pepe Sanchez, Brian Shaw

Bulls send Kukoc, Brent Barry and this year's No. [-] pick

Four teams made a big deal, the 76ers got Mutombo, the Bulls got Crohill and Malik Rose and a first-round pick from the Rockets, and the Eagles got Bus and Kukoc and a first-round pick Signed, the Rockets got Brent Barry, Nazr Mohammed, Pepe Sanchez and Brian Shaw, the most important manor sign.

Immediately, the Rockets announced that they would buy out the contracts of Pepe Sanchez and Brian Shaw, and they were free to choose the teams that could receive them.

And Muhammad and Brent? Barry will be a very useful addition to the Rockets front and backcourt.However, Brent Barry still has some opinions on becoming a substitute. The 27-year-old scored 11.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists last season. He can only be a substitute in the Rockets. Can't let go.

In private, he expressed his thoughts to the Rockets’ top executives through his agent. After discussing with Dawson, Lao Tang got in touch with Brent Barry’s agent. The Rockets announced that they had bought out Brent Barry’s contract and made him a free agency.

At this point, the Rockets' shocking deal is over. After paying three main substitute players and two late first-round draft picks, the Rockets have already paid a buyout fee of nearly 800 million US dollars. The Rockets got an inside substitute , it can be regarded as making up for the vacancy of the departure of the bus, and there is also a champion lottery.

God knows what else the Rockets were thinking. After the Rockets got everything they wanted, they disappeared immediately. There was no contact with them about the transfer news in the league.

After the transaction is completed, the three power centers of the Rockets are also discussing the future development of the Rockets and this year's draft picks.

Tiger looked very happy today, and said with a smile to Dawson and Lao Tang: "Very good, we got what we wanted. Although we paid a bit more, we finally achieved our goal."

Lao Tang smiled and said: "Yeah, the sacrifice is a bit big. The newcomer Muhammad has good physical fitness, but he is also a good blue-collar worker. He will not develop too much. Our inside line now has a lot of money." , Hakim, Mark Jr., Kevin, and this newcomer, plus the one you want to choose, I think this kind of internal line thickness is not acceptable to ordinary people."

Tiger said with some pride: "I configured this for inside teams like the Spurs and Lakers. With our outside players, they basically have nothing to play."

Dawson also smiled and said: "Okay, let's see who we have now, Hakim, Big Ben, Little Mark, Kevin, Nazr, Robert, Matt, Ray, Sborga , Cutino, Dejan, Antonio, Mark Sr., plus the new picks this year, our 15-man roster is almost full."

Tiger said complacently: "Hehe, yes, in fact, the Rockets are still not hurt. It seems that we are still a strong contender for the championship next season."

Dawson jokingly said: "Now that the Rockets hold the No. [-] lottery, everyone is watching. I don't know how many people are paying attention to us now. If we choose that Chinese kid, I don't know how many people will get their jaws smashed." What about your own feet?"

Lao Tang also laughed and said: "Yes, they will definitely be very surprised. However, in a few years, they will definitely be even more surprised. A guy who can be compared to a big dream will be born out of nowhere gone."

Tiger joked on the side: "I don't know how many people there will be, they will envy us."

The three of them looked at each other, and laughed at the same time. There was a lot of complacency in the laughter, and how much complacency was in their laughter.

Now the Rockets have turned all their attention to the draft.

A choice that shocks the world is about to appear.
