Looking at Drexler's depressed appearance, Tiger knows that this NBA 50 superstar must have something unknown in his heart now.

Seeing this, Tiger asked, "Clyde, do you have anything to do, if you have anything, just tell me, I hope I can help you." ”

Drexler smiled a little bitterly, was silent for a long time, and after taking a sip of beer, he whispered: "Boss, do you say I'm really inferior to Michael?" ”

Tiger was stunned when he heard this, and then somewhat understood, today's game was the best game Drexler played, but such a game was reversed by the Bulls, which made him a little unacceptable.

Olajuwon was on the side, smiling wryly and shaking his head, it seemed that the two old guys had been communicating for a long time.

Tiger lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Clyde, in fact, you and yourself are wrong, you are a unique 'glider', and Michael is a unique 'flyer', there is nothing comparable to your family at all." Although you are playing the same position, maybe in terms of personal performance, Michael is higher than you, but you don't forget what the essence of basketball is, now many people, after entering the league, they forget the essence of basketball, the essence of basketball is to bring joy to people, bring joy, and inspire people to pursue higher, faster and stronger will, I admit Jordan's success, but the league is just a Jordan playing, he can play, Jordan's greatness does not lie in how great he is, It's that he has a great group of opponents. Malone, Stockton, Charles? Barkley, Payton, Miller, Ewing, you, and Hakim, and so on, these are the people who made Jordan great, and Jordan just won a few more championships, and I want to tell you that in an era like this. It is impossible for the League to repeat such a legend. Because, even if there is a Jordan, there will not be such an opponent for Jordan. ”

Drexler and Olajuwon were savoring the words, silently sipping their beers.

Tiger didn't speak, silently drank beer, and sighed in his heart about the demeanor of the two superstars in front of him.

In the previous life, this year's Rockets were the eighth in the West, and they met the Jazz in the first round, and after 5 battles with the Jazz, they ended their games this year gloomily, and Drexler also quietly retired after the last game with the Jazz.

Clyde? Drexler, the man known as 'The Glider', was the same as Oscar in his 15-year career? Robinson and John? Havlicek became one of only a handful of superstars in NBA history to score more than 20,000 points, rebound more than 6,000 times and have more than 6,000 assists.

This man, modest and charismatic, he was one of the best stars of his era, but he was also unlucky, at the beginning of stepping into the NBA, they were more suppressed, from the 'black and white' in the 80s to the bad boy army in the early 90s, and then to the red bulls who dominated the 90s, he always fought for a championship ring, but fortunately, in 95, he switched to the Rockets, and in the same year he finally fulfilled one of his dreams.

However, who would have thought that such a great player would not be able to let go of the mentality of comparing himself with others, which is difficult to understand.

Drexler, put down the beer in his hand, and sighed: "Actually, I'm already very happy, looking at Marlon, Stockton, Charles, I'm really happy, at least I have one more championship ring than them, my thank you Hakim, a large part of all this is due to him." ”

Olajuwon waved his hand and said: "Okay, Clyde and we don't talk about this, you should know that in 95 years, if it weren't for you, maybe we would have been out of the game a long time ago, don't talk so much." In fact, we are all the same, I am not often compared to Michael, you know, we are the same class, I am the champion, he is Tanhua, this is much heavier than you. ”

Tiger said on the side: "Actually, don't think about it so much, this year is the last chance for everyone to prove themselves, everyone knows that this year's Rockets are here to overthrow the Bulls' dynasty and establish our own dynasty, this year is our best and last chance, when Jordan leaves, if we win the final victory, then it will mean a lot." So, this year is the last time for everyone to fight hard. ”

Drexler took another big sip of beer, and then said fiercely: "This year, I have to pull Michael down even if I try my best, the boss is right, this is the last chance." There's nothing to say anymore, it's just a matter of winning and losing these games. ”

Olajuwon also nodded and said, "Yes, this year is the last chance, and we must not let it go." ”

Looking at the two people who had already decided to fight hard, Tiger didn't need to say anything anymore.

These people talked about some interesting things, Tiger made the two relax a lot, looking at Olajuwon, Tiger suddenly remembered something.

So, Tiger said to Olajuwon: "Hakim, you said that if your centers retire, will there be any good centers in the league?" ”

Olajuwon pondered for a while and said: "Boss, I don't know what the excellent center in your mouth is like, O'Neal is certain, the top 50 superstars are not cabbage, Moning's kid is limited by his height, if he can increase by another 2 inches, then he will have the same great power as O'Neal, the others are the Lithuanian young man of the knights and the champion of the Spurs, I am very optimistic, why do you fall in love with that person again, you must be very potential." ”

Tiger nodded and said, "You're right, Hakim, I've really found a good seedling now, very talented, but it takes a lot of training to become a real superstar, and there aren't many such good seedlings." ”

Looking at the characters who were praised fiercely, Olajuwon was also a little incredible, and there were really few characters who could be praised by their bosses like this.

Olajuwon asked, "Then he played at that university?" ”

Tiger shook his head and said, "He's not an American, and he hasn't played at an American university. ”

Olajuwon scratched his head and said, "Then he is from that country." ”

Tiger smiled and said, "He and Dabus are compatriots. ”

Olajuwon was stunned, and then said: "He is Chinese, is there a stronger presence in China in the position of center forward than Daba." Olajuwon was very skeptical.

Tiger smiled at the time and said: "This is a young player, just 18 years old this year, but he is now more than 2.20 meters tall, and his feet are nimble and have a good feel, as long as the training keeps up, he will be a very good player, no less than your existence." ”

Olajuwon said with some skepticism: "Is it really that good?" ”

Tiger nodded and said: "Yes, very good, I am now trying to find a way to get him to the United States, this year is still a little early, I want to let him hone in China for two years, after he matures, and after his body is finalized, he will come to the United States, which will also be beneficial to his development." I guess we can see him at this year's World Championships, and there will be a lot of excellent international players at this year's World Championships, so let's pay attention to it. ”

Olajuwon smiled and said, "Then mine should pay attention to it." ”

Tiger looked at Olajuwon and said in his heart: You will pay attention, such a player has not been met in 20 years, you will definitely pay attention, not only you, but the whole league will pay attention.

The three of them talked for a long time, and it was already midnight before Olajuwon and Drexler said goodbye and left.

Tiger cleaned up briefly and went to bed.

On the court, Tiger was thinking about this year's events, the World Basketball Championships, labor negotiations, the Football World Cup.

Hey, there's been a lot going on this summer, I don't want to sleep.

After a night of silence, the Rockets started training normally the next morning, but this morning's training was only focused on recovery training.

In addition to explaining some of the lessons learned from the loss in the last game, the Rockets' training session was completed very quickly.

After dinner in the evening, the rocket held a tactical arrangement meeting.

All the players participated, and Lao Tang stood at the front of the large conference room and laid out the basic tactics of the next game of the Rockets.

It's an hour.

After the incident, Tiger found Lao Tang, and heard Tiger say to Lao Tang: "Rudy, what do you think of the player information about this year's World Championship that I gave you some time ago. ”

Lao Tang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have taken a general look, I have focused on understanding the people you have made the key markers, but now I can only continue to pay attention, and now I am so busy in the finals." I haven't been able to go any further. ”

"No problem, you'll be following the whole process at this year's World Championships," Tiger said. ”

Lao Tang's face changed at that time, and he said: "This summer's vacation is gone, I have already decided to go there for a vacation, you are really a capitalist." ”

Tiger smiled and said: "Hehe, Rudy, don't worry, all your expenses are all for the club, can you still take your wife with you, it's a vacation, Athens is a good place." ”

Lao Tang lowered his head, thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go, anyway, Athens is also a tourist city, and it's good to travel while working." However, boss, all your expenses are yours. ”

Tiger laughed and nodded, and said: "Don't worry, Rudy, maybe I'll go back to you, you must know that I am going to watch the World Cup this year, and France and Greece are not far away from the Mediterranean." ”

Lao Tang also smiled and said, "Then I'm waiting for you in Athens." ”

The Rockets players who were about to go back to the room to rest, looking at their boss and head coach so relaxed, the invisible pressure of the finals was also reduced a lot, although they didn't know what the boss and coach were talking about.

It seems that the next game is nothing.
