Chapter XXVII: The Olympics in '96

On July 19, 1996, the 26th Olympic Games opened in Atlanta, USA.

As the veteran boxing champion Ali shivered and lit the Olympic flame, the world cheered.

With such a big world-class sports event, how could our pig's feet miss it.

After watching the opening ceremony on the spot, Tiger began to follow, and the Dream Three team saw that it was a switch.

Dream Three premiere is against Argentina.

However, Argentina in '96 was not a world-class powerhouse.

Still, in the face of the Americans, the Argentines put up a stubborn resistance.

96-68, although the Argentines lost, they also won the respect of American basketball superstars.

Watching the game, Tiger couldn't help but scratch a little.

"Why didn't you see Ginobili, he's 19 years old. Hey, this is not the same Argentina that beat the USA a few years later, let's take a look and see if there are any good players. ”

Tiger was a little depressed.

The second, against Angola.

Well, I ignored it directly, and went straight to sleep after watching it for 10 minutes.

Not at all a level.

The third, against Lithuania

Hey, take a good look, Sabonis's final game.

However, I saw a shadow on the field that I was very familiar with.

Damn, isn't this Saulus who went to play in China after the Olympics, and now this is already a member of the national team.

Tiger still wants to get him into the rocket next year.

This is also a fierce man, completely different from European players.

Tenacious defense, accurate three-pointers, looking bulky, but actually fast, when he broke through, his step was one and a half steps ahead of others.

And he's a good team player.

You have to get it when you go back, or it's too late.

The quality of my heart is good, and I dare to make a move.

Damn, I actually put it on Hill's head and shot it, and I actually went in.

You really don't have a surname, you hit Hardaway for a layup, just Hardaway's skinny like a sprout, you really can't bear it.

Well, there will be small movements, still in front of Miller, where is this hero.

No, a certain sign comes.

However, even if Lithuania tried their best, they still couldn't stop the Dream Three.

104 to 82, still lost.

Fourth, against China.

It's not bad, the bus has not been in vain in the United States this year, the pace is obviously a lot faster, and the strength and consciousness have improved.

Very good, I guess it won't be a big problem to be a substitute this year.

Hehe, you dead fat big shark, don't you have strength, Lao Tzu found 2 inside sandbags as long as you play and wrestle with you, I can't be tired of you sample, let you feel it first at the Olympics, you have strength, these two people on Lao Tzu's side, in terms of strength, you don't have to be bad, I let you not take care of public property, I let you dunk the rebound, I let you break the basketball hoop.

Hey, Dazhi is so young now, he can really jump, damn it, Robinson is capped.

Not bad, yes, get him to that university for two years, and then he can come out.

This kid should not be under 19 years old by now, so he can make a good one.

And now that he is young and has a strong ability to learn and accept, he may be able to have a different fate from the previous time and space.

It seems that it will cost money again, NND is waiting for you to play in the NBA, and I must have Garnett clean you up.

133 to 80, China lost badly. (The real situation is 133 to 70, which is even worse.) )

The fifth, against Croatia.

Haha, that Kukoc kid is now on the Croatian team

Did I say that.

Why didn't that kid go to Kukoc.

Hey, you said that Yugoslavia did not disintegrate

Otherwise, these boys from the Balkans might have been able to get the Dream Team in '96.

102-71, the Dream Three team continued their own slaughter.

Quarterfinals, against Brazil.

That kid from Nene doesn't know what he's doing now.

You say, why don't you bring your skills on the football court to the basketball court.

Really.

98 to 75

The American tank continued to move forward.

Semi-finals, against Australia.

What, Longley was already crying.

Olajuwon, Robinson, O'Neal, Barkley and Malone ravaged him in turn.

Hey, who let you mess with Jordan, when will I abuse you if I don't abuse you now?

Who made Jordan an American, hi, poor Longley.

Final, against Yugoslavia.

Dejan is fighting in one man today.

Savage injured (leading scorer at the time)

Divac was sent off in the first half.

Danilovich was driven crazy by Payton and Stockton.

Hi, poor Deyang.

Bodi Roga, who scored 23 points alone under Pippen's watch, did not stop the Dream Team's advance.

95 to 79 (actually 95 to 69, Bodi Roga 13 points)

However, it really scared the Americans into a cold sweat.

It was the smallest of the games.

If the Yugoslavs had a full lineup, it would be hard to say.

In the end, the Dream Three team, 8-0, finally reached the top.

Tiger is not without gains.

Looking at the performance of the Rockets players, Tiger has even more hope for the new season.

After completing the Rockets lineup.

It's also time to wrestle with Jordan.

Moreover, Tiger also discovers a figure he is very interested in, Saulus.

2000 and Dream Four dozen Martian guys.

"Dawson, you go get in touch, I have a crush on a player." Tiger contacted Dawson on the phone.

"Boss, who do you fancie?" Dawson said on the other end of the phone.

"It's a Lithuanian player named Ssaurus Stampbogas, the sixth man in Lithuania." Tiger replied.

"What kind of player is it, can the team be compatible?" Dawson was visibly worried about my eyes.

"Small forward, fierce defensively, accurate three-pointers, speed, a very good role player." Listening to Dawson's concern, Tiger explained.

After some thought, Dawson said:

"Okay, you're the boss, I'll contact you tomorrow."

"Okay, then trouble you, and, how did you do with the Chinese 'king' thing." Tiger asked Dazhi for the latest developments.

"It's not good, but that player is an athlete in the [***] team system, it's not too easy to get it." Dawson also had a bit of a headache about it.

"What about this matter, I think the American Basketball Association can come forward, let the American Basketball Association and the U.S. Department of Education and other official semi-official organizations come forward to invite, directly send it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, in the name of exchanges, let Jean come out first, and then find an NCAA university to go to school, isn't it, as long as it comes out, it's easy to discuss, and then it will be much easier to lobby their competent authorities." Tiger didn't continue to make ideas.

"Okay, let's see if that's okay." Dawson thought for a moment and agreed.

"That boss, I want to ask a question, why do you like Chinese players." Actually, Dawson has always been weird.

I can't tell him, and I can't tell him I came through.

Then I'm either being sliced or sent to a psychiatric hospital.

"Why don't you understand, China is playing the market." Tiger can only use this excuse.

"Okay, Dawson, you go about your business, I still have some business, hang up first." Tiger hurriedly hung up the phone.

On the deck of Tiger's private yacht, looking out at the sunset in the distance, with a fishing rod at his feet, he muttered to himself:

"Dazhi, buddy is here for you, what you can do after you come out depends on your own efforts."

Time is fast.

On this day, Tiger was bored to death, and when he couldn't die, a phone call came.

"Hey, that one." Tiger is really boring.

"Boss, I'm Kenny." A slut, but today's voice is a little strange.

"Kenny, oh, it's you bastard, what's the matter?" It's finally a little interesting.

"I want to retire my boss." Smith's voice was low.

"Oh, you want to retire, then retire, wait, you bastard want to retire?" It's a bit slow.

"Yes, boss"

"Reason, I need reason." Things seem to be a little bit interesting.

"The old guys of the Rockets back then have basically been traded, and my current state is not guaranteed, so I want to retire." A slut seems to really want to go home.

Tiger was silent for a long time.

"Kenny, we're friends, I don't want to hide anything from you, you know what kind of team the Rockets are and what kind of ambition we have, and we can only keep players who fit the team. You should also know that the NBA is a business league, in fact, this is business, and I can't help it. I thought, can you stay for a year, really this is really my sincere retention of you. For just one year, you'll have to help Hakim bring in new people. "Tiger is very sincere in retaining.

There was also silence for a long time.

"Okay, boss, I'm staying for a year."

"Oh, that's great, I'll treat you to a big dinner when I'll be in Houston." Tiger is happy to be able to keep the atmosphere of such a locker room alive.

"Hehe, this is the boss you said, I will call my wife and children, and then find the most luxurious place to eat you well." Well, a certain slut is back.

"Okay, no problem." It's cheap, but this guy is really good.

With the end of the trading period, the Rockets' roster finally stabilized.

And Barkley, who arrived in the original plane, did not come to the rocket.

Instead, they went to the Spurs.

and Robinson formed the strongest interior line in the NBA.

Regardless of the others, the puzzle for the Rockets' final '96-'97 season is complete.

It's time to add to the blockage.

Attach:

Rockets 96-97 season roster.

Centre-forwards: Hakim Olajuwon, Ben Wallace, Bus

Power forwards: Kevin Garnett, Osera Harrington, Marrick Rose

Small forwards: Robert Horry, Shanton Anderson, Saulius Stampbogas

Shooting guards: Clyde Drexler, Ray Allen, Dejan Bodiroga

Playmakers: Mark Jackson, Sam Cassel, Kenny Smith

A squad of fifteen men for the season.

(Hehe, it's okay, this configuration can compete with His Majesty the Flying Man.) );
