Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 54 Isn't it normal to lose?
After the Rockets' tenacious victory over the Spurs, the Rockets' record is already 16 wins and 1 loss.

Such a result is disdainful to the entire league.

On the second day of the game, the team rested, because the Rockets spent too much energy in the victory over the Spurs last night.

Although there are many young people in the Rockets, there are still a few old guys who can't stand it.

After the big dream game, he didn't know that he drove home, but he was sent back by his best buddy Drexler.

Because I really can't walk anymore, think about it, as a 34-year-old man who is about to be 35 years old, galloping for a full 35 minutes in such a fierce competition, how exhausting his energy is.

Garnett is better, but also a little sluggish.

After fighting Duncan for 40 minutes, he couldn't bear it even if he had superior physical strength.

Fortunately, Lao Tang gave everyone in the Rockets a day off to let everyone relax.

Just when the Rockets' players and coaches were enjoying their rare day off.

Our Mr. Tiger is also troubled by one thing.

Then a transfer application came from the Mavericks uniform team.

It is hoped that Michael Finley and Sean Bradley will add part of the cash in exchange for Bodi Roga.

Bradley's salary this year was 594 million, and Finley was still on a rookie contract at the time, with a salary of 81.

The added part of the cash can fully match Bodi Roga's salary level of 830 million.

However, what is the use of these two people in exchange.

Finley's new contract next year is at least 600 million per year, plus Bradley's 600 million.

I have a big contract of at least 1200 million next year.

Finley is not bad, scoring and assisting can be regarded as star level.

What does Bradley come to do? It's impossible to be the main force, but am I crazy when someone with a salary of 600 million is used as a substitute?

Therefore, Tiger simply rejected the deal.

However, it's not easy to offend old Nelson, so it's good to remind him.

Anyway, in next year's draft, the Mavericks will also choose the German, so let's sell it first.

Thinking of this, Tiger connected the old Nelson.

"Hello, my name is Don Nelson." The voice on the other side of the phone was a little low.

"Hi, old Mr. Nelson, I'm Tiger Jones, the owner of the Houston Rockets." Tiger said elegantly.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Tiger, why did you agree to our deal?" Old Nelson was surprised, thinking that the Rockets had agreed to his deal again.

"No, no, no, Mr. Don Nelson, you should know that players like Bodi Roga are the core players of our Rockets in the future. How can we trade such players." Tiger replied with a smile Old Nelson's question.

"Then what's the matter with you calling?" Hearing that the old Nelson had no nature, his voice was somewhat perfunctory.

"Hehe, Mr. Don Nelson, you are a head coach I respect very much. I want to talk to you about some issues and you won't let me down." Tiger continued his topic.

The old Nelson on the other side of the phone was stunned, and said to himself: What do you mean, do you want me to be the head coach of the Rockets, but now Rudy is doing very well in the Rockets, and it is already the number one team in the league. This young boss What kind of tricks are you doing.

The old Nelson who had a clear pause in his voice asked tentatively: "Mr. Tiger, please tell me what you have to say. Let me make a statement first. The current Rockets' style and style of play are not very consistent with my coaching style. "

Hearing this, Tiger was a little dumbfounded, and thought to himself: Even if you are a mad scientist, if you want to come to the rocket, I don't want you to come.

So, Tiger quickly explained: "Mr. Don Nelson, I think you have misunderstood. I just recommend two players to you."

"You recommend me players, I heard right." Old Nelson was a little confused.

"No, you are right. I am recommending players to you." Tiger said to Nelson in a very firm tone.

"Well, if I heard correctly, I want to hear what kind of player you suggest." Old Nelson wanted to hear what Tiger had to say with the mentality of listening to a joke.

"Hehe, that's good. I appreciate your coaching style and tactical style of play. You also need a group of people to adapt to your style and style of play. You pioneered the concept of a point forward. I think you want to change Bodi Roga Maybe you want to copy your style of play in the Golden State Warriors in the Mavericks. Let’s not talk about whether your tactic can win the championship, but I can still provide you with a few good players for your tactic. I think you can investigate by yourself, the specific situation of the players I provided, the first one is No.15 in last year's draft, rookie Steve Nash, this is a very good guard, in my opinion As long as he has a tactical system that suits him, he will be a strong contender for the 'MVP'. This person's advantages and disadvantages are equally outstanding, excellent overall view, excellent passing vision, and already excellent scoring ability. The disadvantages are Without defense, this player is unparalleled in the world if he uses it well, but if he doesn't use it well, he will ruin his future, so in my opinion, a coach like you can use him." There was a little flattery in the conversation.

"Oh, is that so? I will write it down. Is there any more?" Old Nelson on the other side of the phone nodded, and after recording it, he continued to ask.

"Of course, the second place is a very good German boy, his name is Dirk Nowitzki, a very good big man, with excellent touch, can be inside and outside, although he is not well-known yet, he will become a big man in the future A superstar in the league." Tiger pushed Nowitzki, who was later favored by Nelson, out.

There was another silence on the other side of the phone, and then old Nelson's voice came: "Okay, Mr. Tiger, thank you for your recommendation. How did you know it was from this German player?" There was a bit of doubt in the voice.

"Hehe, Mr. Don Nelson, you should know that I have two satellite clubs in Europe, and I have scouts and basketball schools all over the world. I still know some players like this, and I still have one person to ask for." I recommend it to you." Tiger ostentatiously said about his achievements, and then introduced another person in his heart.

"Oh, and, hehe, Mr. Tiger, you have to know that if one of the two people you recommend becomes an All-Star, you will be at a huge loss." Old Nelson now also likes this young boss a little.

"Nothing, you should know that the greatness of a team can only be reflected by beating another strong team. I don't mind the strength of other teams at all. Only by beating those strong teams can the greatness of the Rockets be brought out. "Tiger doesn't mind at all when people know his goals.

"Hehe, okay, young man, you have courage, then you are talking about the other young man, who is it?" Old Nelson also laughed when he heard such bold words, but Old Nelson didn't really believe it, he was just a young man just entering the industry , I think it was not the same when I first entered the industry.

"That man is now the main power forward of the Maryland Terrapins. He is a Chinese. I call him Dazhi." Tiger finally said the name of the man. Anyway, the Mavericks also selected him in 99.

He has already made some big names in the NCAA, but I don't know if he can fall into the eyes of old Nelson now.

"Well, okay, thank you, Mr. Tiger, I know what your purpose is for providing me with these players. I don't want you to use some high-sounding words to perfuse me, an old man." Old Nelson pointed out directly Tiger's ultimate goal.

"Hehe, I'm still an old man. I've been a character who has been up and down in the NBA for decades. Then I'll just say it. You should know that our Rockets have our own goals. We want to have some partners with the same goals. You understand me What do you mean?" Sometimes the words don't need to be said too clearly.

There was another silence on the phone, and then old Nelson's voice came: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Tiger, I think we will become good friends, but the premise is that it does not violate the laws of the alliance and the United States."

Old Nelson also said succinctly that you can sit with friends, but it cannot affect the Mavericks themselves. If there is any danger, we will not accompany you.

"Oh, well, I won't disturb your work, Mr. Don Nelson, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Mr. Tiger, if you have the opportunity to come to Dallas, we will definitely shoulder it."

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Don Nelson."

"Goodbye, Mr. Tiger."

Tiger, who put down the phone, got up from the boss chair and walked slowly to the window.

I thought to myself: If the Rockets want to become a real giant, they must have their own allies.

Not to mention Tiger's side is thinking about the future layout of the Rockets.

The old Nelson in Dallas quickly asked his scouts to find the specific information of the three people.

Looking at the intelligence quickly gathered by his scouts.

Old Nelson thought for a long time, and sighed, this young man in Houston really knows me very well.

Just as Old Nelson was searching for the specific information on these individuals provided by Tiger.

The Rockets headed to Los Angeles to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers.

It may be that the battle with the Spurs consumed too much energy. The Rockets looked very tired and absent-minded in this game.

The Rockets were overwhelmed by the Lakers at the beginning of the game.

The big sharks ravaged the Rockets' inside lanes arbitrarily, and none of the Rockets' inside lanes were their opponents.

After the Sharks scored a large double-double with 42 points and 18 rebounds alone.

The Rockets were defeated by the Lakers 119:102.

After a 9-game winning streak, the Rockets finally lost another game.

After the game, the winning Lakers were elated.

The Sharks, who scored 42 points and 18 rebounds, even claimed to have found a way to defeat the Rockets.

Kobe also said that the Rockets are not invincible,

Regarding these rumors, some media interviewed the Rockets star Olajuwon.

Olajuwon just smiled slightly after hearing these words.

I said a word, isn't it normal to lose?

The media was also taken aback.

Then suddenly, yes, isn’t it normal to lose?
