Chapter 644 The Last Gliding Performance

Game [-] went to the Houston Rockets' Compaq Center home court.

At this time, the Houstonians were desperate. The Big Three, who were once full of confidence, only had Drexler on the starting list for this game, and it was very likely that it would be a very imperfect curtain call performance.

As for Olajuwon and Barkley, they can only sit off the court and watch the Rockets die this season.

……

With the game imminent, Harris is still meticulous in arranging tactics.

Even though the Rockets now have less than half of the combat power they had in their heyday, Harris still wants to make a quick decision, but the pre-match meeting is over... Li Shengli's team also held a meeting quietly.

"This game is over!"

"Hey, they are too tragic. We don't necessarily lose even if we are on the rotation lineup."

"Kobe, don't take Drexler too seriously in a while." Big Ben said a few words feeling a little helpless.

"Why, does the game need sympathy points?" Kobe didn't care about it, and then said: "A game is a game, and their main players are injured. That's not the reason for me to release water, besides..."

"What's more, Drexler retired after this game, and you still want to beat him to death?"

"I didn't say that, I just wanted every game to be pure and unadulterated."

"Oh, why are you more stubborn than me, kid, I said..."

"That's it, you two!" Li Shengli interrupted the dispute between the two with a headache, and turned his head to look at Kobe. Although it is a good thing to be more realistic, sometimes it seems particularly incomprehensible, even unreasonable.

"Kobe, maybe you haven't even thought about it..."

"Drexler's today we will have, you, me, Big Ben, Crotty will be old, will retire, and you certainly don't want to screw up your final curtain call. And we are all players, when we come , Everyone is in a good mood, and when we leave, no matter how big the hatred is, we have to let go."

"It's just retirement, and it's not a terminal illness. How can it be so serious?"

"Okay, you just listen to me. Our promotion is certain. The overall situation has been decided. Why can't we give them a decent end? Today, if they are replaced by Ewing and Oakley, the dignity I should give them will still be the same." Here, besides, you and Drexler have no grudges, so don't make it too ugly."

Kobe wanted to refute, but seeing that Li Shengli was serious, he didn't speak again.

As for Li Shengli, it is too difficult to be the boss...

For the young Kobe, he has to correct his overly paranoid and serious temper.

For Big Ben, you have to suppress this guy's violent temper, or you will really fight with Olajuwon in the first game.

The only worry was Crotty, because wherever he hit his fist, Crotty would have to hit again at the same position, and there was never a slight deviation in the direction.

"Crotty, Kobe should have defended Drexler first, and you may have followed."

"Remember to make it beautiful, of course it's not water, but..."

"I see!"

"I didn't say anything, what do you know?"

"I don't know, but I feel that I'm not in a good state today... Well, not very good."

……

After waiting for a while, the game finally started.

Kevin Willis replaced Olajuwon, Charles Jones stepped up to the power forward position, and only one older star Drexler led the team. The Rockets' combat effectiveness... It is said that this playoffs is the East and West Adding up the weakest of the sixteen teams is not an exaggeration.

The game opened with the cheers of the Rockets' home fans.

Because the opponent's inside line is weak, Li Shengli and Daben's destruction of the Rockets' inside line is quite cruel. Although it is to give Drexler a face, it does not match the inside line, and the game still has to be won.

However, Rockets fans found out in desperation...

Drexler played amazingly in the last game, the Rockets players did their best to assist, while the Lakers players did their best to defend and played only in the regular season.

everything is going well...

Although it cannot be compared with Li Shengli's terrifying efficiency, this result is the Rockets and Drexler's last semblance of face, playing until halftime...Drexler scored 26 points in two quarters, but the Rockets scored Still 4 points behind the Lakers, because Li Shengli and Kobe played a full 40 points together.

The second half is the real decisive game.

Crotty replaced Nick and switched defenses with Kobe, while Drexler continued to exert his strength, but his physical energy consumption was too large and his efficiency decreased until the final quarter.

The only embarrassing thing is... Crotty can't tell lies, and she can't even act. Usually, either you kill me or I kill you, and only one survives, but now it's completely different. In the stumbling defense, the body instinct It's a serious conflict with subjective consciousness.

What kind of poor acting is this? !

Drexler knows exactly what kind of piss Crotty is, learning from Stockton's small moves can be annoying, but it's part of the game and there's nothing to say, and now... an unfamiliar lunatic, with The immature acting expresses goodwill, but it moved Drexler so much that he wanted to cry.

……

At the end of the last quarter, the Rockets trailed by 12 points, and the game was basically over.

Drexler only rested for half a quarter, fought fiercely until the last second in the last quarter, and now scored 49 points, a career high of 50 points, the Rockets' possession and the last ball, this is a perfect ending.

Of course, it's best... the glider can finally fly again!

Crotty, who was in a 'bad state', defended against the point, and was broken by Drexler's not-so-quick change of direction.

The exhausted Willis had no offensive ability, but Li Shengli still chased him out of the penalty area.

At the same time, Big Ben did the same, giving way to the glider, and Drexler really took off this time.

The last leap of my career without interference, I don’t feel tired at all. Although I didn’t jump as high or as far as I did when I was at my peak, I still dunked the last goal, and I hung on the basket for a long time and refused to get off. Even the referee Not willing to urge him so that the referee team can get off work quickly, the fans even broke out the last cry of the Rockets Big Three era.

……

"Is it alright? You're getting old, aren't you tired hanging on it?!" Li Shengli rolled his eyes and carried him down.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it for a while!" Drexler grinned and looked at the basket he had hung with red eyes. It was his lost youth and career. career.

"Okay, the game is over, your playoffs are also over, let's end, let's go all the way!"

farewell?

What, shit, can you talk?

Drexler slandered, turned around and cursed: "Damn, don't curse me, I'm still going to be a college coach. But... thanks anyway, Li, you are a good person."

"I'm a good person? You're pretty smart." Li Shengli hugged Drexler: "Okay, you are suitable as a coach, but don't get beaten when you come back, brother, I can't bear it!"

"You...I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Drexler pushed Li Shengli away, spat lightly, and glanced at the field.

"Ben, you will play hard in the future, and thank you today." Da Ben stepped forward to shake hands with Drexler.

"And you, Kobe, you're very good, I'm optimistic about you in the future!" Now Kobe took this kind nonsense on the bench, and suddenly felt that this feeling is also very good.

"As for you Crotty, although your acting is a bit ugly and bad, but anyway... Thanks, brother!" Crotty scratched his head to express his embarrassment.

……

Drexler said a few words to his teammates, then turned around and waved to the crazy fans in all directions, ended the last game of his career, broke his personal record of 51 points in a single game with 50, which is also the best score without a championship ring. Perfect ending.

As for Olajuwon and Barkley on the bench...

"Huh..." Olajuwon breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the bench and flattened his body, put his head in his hands and said comfortably: "Man, I think Li and these people are very good, I thank them for Clyde , Clyde got the best result that belongs to him!"

"Yeah, Clyde has no regrets, but have you thought about... what if I'm on a horse?" Barkley was going crazy. After all, compared with the glorious dismissal of the glider, his black 20 seconds this time is too disgusting up.

"Uh... Well, let's fight again next year, maybe next year there will be a chance."

"Are you sure you have a chance?" Barkley glanced at Li Shengli on the field, "Look at that guy, he is at the peak, you and I are declining, why are you confident that you will have a chance next year, shit, I hate this kind of thing so much Powerless."

Olajuwon didn't speak, and Barkley could only watch Drexler enjoy the final glory, thinking that his shelf life would soon end and the Rockets' championship road.

His relationship with Jordan is similar to that between Li Shengli and O'Neal.

So he also knew that Jordan also 'annoyed' Li Shengli. The annoyance here was an annoyance on the field, and Jordan also revealed his thoughts on retiring to him. Didn't tell anyone about it either.

Jordan is retiring?

Will Pippen, who has been dissatisfied with his treatment, stay with the Bulls?

Assuming these conditions are met, can the Rockets chase Pippen and reorganize the Big Three in the second round?

It is still possible for Barkley to think about it. The only problem is the team's salary space. If he cut his salary to the Rockets, will it become a reason for the Rockets' management to exploit him again? Next year's contract will be cut again. Make room for Pippen?

After all, if there is one, there are two. The Rockets management is sure that he wants a championship, which is his biggest weakness.

But... letting it go doesn't mean it can't let it go. Barkley, who is anxious, thinks that as long as it's not too much, a smaller contract is acceptable, because everything about him now has to be in line with the championship.

As for this finals.

Barkley hopes that Jordan can make the final counterattack of this insider era, just like Drexler today, have a perfect ending game, retire with glory, and after that...

If it goes well, the Rockets will form the second wave of the Big Three. His only thought is to seize the time and work hard for another year or two, but if it doesn't go well... He doesn't want to stay in Houston anymore. Hun Yue stepped back.

……

"Man, what are you thinking?" Now Drexler came over and hugged Barkley.

"It's nothing, I'm thinking... Your luck is a little bit too good. It's okay to break the single-game scoring record in the last battle?" Barkley patted Drexler on the shoulder, a little envious, and the ring was given , the league's super giants, and glorious layoffs, there is really nothing more for a player.

"Huh... the Lakers are just giving face. In fact, it's luck. It may not be necessary to switch to other teams. They don't have an upright leader like Li."

Li Shengli?

A leader of integrity?

You're getting cheap and being good, brother, I don't think you've been beaten by him and his army of bastards!

Barkley couldn't laugh or cry, but Drexler still didn't forget the plight of his brother Barkley. He glanced at the exiting Lakers and whispered a few words on Barkley's shoulder.

"Clyde, you... have you surrendered to the enemy?" Barkley went crazy.

"Don't say that, you should plan for yourself." Drexler spread his hands and stopped talking.

"No, it's impossible. Even if I, Barkley, die, die outside, and jump off the top of Compaq, I won't listen to you even if I step on a horse. This... This is too shameful."

"Are you serious?"

"Bullshit, I can swear it, or I'll kiss his ass!"

"Oh? Then I might have to tell him to take a shower first?"

"You...Go to hell, you retired old guy, I tell you, it's impossible!"
