Chapter 227: The Eagle Spreads Its Wings
The tearful man left Tiger's office, but as a professional player, the bus still held on to his bottom line.
Lao Tang saw the bus working harder and harder on the training ground, but he didn't say anything, because he couldn't say anything, and the bus's recent realization was very good.
In the home game against the Warriors, the bus broke out strongly, the bus almost dominated the game in the first quarter of the game, and in the entire first quarter of the game, the Rockets were like a strong man bullying a child, and the Rockets used their powerful offense to let the Golden State Warriors know how tough the Rockets' bench players are.
Looking at the already violent bus, Lao Tang quietly watched the strong performance of the bus on the sidelines, and Lao Tang was also silently recalling the experience of a Chinese young man in the NBA for several years.
The rookie, who had just come to the NBA and didn't know anything, looked at the training he had set for him, gritted his teeth, red eyes, and trained desperately.
In the secondary league, he showed his outstanding strength, and also won a big double-double of 35+15 in the second league.
After a year of polishing, he passed the physical examination of the Rockets and became the first player in the history of Chinese basketball to land in the NBA.
When it comes to becoming the main bench player for the Rockets' interior line, and Big Ben and Olajuwon hold up a sky for the Rockets' interior line.
When the Rockets' players also came forward, all the villains in the league were very jealous, and even the court villain Ranbier expressed his admiration for this young man who was usually gentle, but when something happened, he would erupt like a volcano.
After getting the championship ring, that kind of hearty smile.
All of this made Lao Tang sigh on the sidelines, and Lao Tang was a little reluctant to let go of such a player.
However, for the sake of the rocket's future, as well as the future of the bus itself, he can only let him go.
Under Lao Tang's great emotion, the second quarter of the game between the Rockets and the Warriors ended.
The Rockets went into halftime with a 17-point advantage.
In the locker room, Lao Tang was explaining the tactics, but the bus, which usually listened most carefully, was a little absent-minded and didn't know what he was thinking.
Such a look was in Lao Tang's eyes, and Lao Tang's heart was also uncomfortable for a while.
When he was about to play, Lao Tang dragged the bus aside and asked in a low voice, "Dabus, what's wrong with you, I don't think you're in a very good mood." ”
The bus said helplessly: "Coach, I think the boss has told you about it, I am going to leave the Rockets after this season, you know I am very reluctant to the Rockets, I have poured a lot of feelings here, as soon as I know that I am leaving, my heart is empty." ”
Lao Tang stepped forward and hugged the shoulders of the bus and whispered: "Daba, you have to remember that this league is a business league, there is no pure basketball here, you have to learn to adapt to this league, so that the key to your success is to succeed." ”
The bus nodded and said, "I know this, coach, but I just feel a little uncomfortable." ”
Lao Tang looked at the bus, smiled and said: "Bus, in the future games, I will give you more opportunities to play, you have to seize these opportunities, try to show your strength, show your strengths, and I made a foot training plan for you, you must not stop, no matter where you play in the future, you must know that the most basic thing for your inside players is the foot movement, you must not give up." ”
The bus said very sincerely: "Thank you, coach, I am also a professional footballer, I know what I have to do. ”
Lao Tang patted the back of the bus and motioned for him to play.
After the start of the second half, the Rockets continued to let the bus gallop on the court, the bus showed a strong basket power, singles under the basket, high shots, control of the rebound, showing the demeanor of a first-class center, although the pace is still a little slow, but the advantage of a strong body is enough to make up for this shortcoming.
The Warriors' interior line was turned upside down by the bus alone, and by the end of the game, the bus scored 28 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block.
Let all the basketball people who watched this game be surprised.
And the Hawks, who have reached an agreement with the Rockets, are even more overjoyed, because they know that their players' main centers in the next 5-8 years have fallen.
The Rockets beat the Warriors 107-86 on their home court.
After the game, the head coach of the Rockets, Lao Tang, highly praised the bus at the press conference, believing that the bus is one of the best inside lines in the league, his dominance under the basket and basketball wisdom are extremely good, and in the next 5 years, this player will be the most important piece of the puzzle for the Rockets.
The bus played the data and played its own strength, and many teams suddenly discovered that the Rockets actually had such an excellent player, which was not expected by everyone.
After the game, Lao Tang received a call from Tiger who was far away in New York.
I heard Tiger whisper on the phone: "Rudy, today's game was very good, the performance of the bus was very good, I think our plan has succeeded in the first step, the bus has attracted enough attention, which is very good for his future development." ”
Lao Tang sighed and said, "Yes, this kid from the bus performed very well today. But some of his shortcomings will still be discovered, and the problem of slow pace will definitely be discovered. ”
Tiger smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "If this kid is fast, I dare say that O'Neill will not be his opponent, how can we let go of such a player." ”
Lao Tang was silent for a while, and said: "Yes, if it weren't for the pace of the bus or relatively slow, who would shoot such a player, solid skills under the basket, and a hand shot, only the bounce and footsteps restricted the development of this kid, the bounce thing can't be changed, but the pace can still be changed in the future, I hope he can continue to train according to the training plan I gave him, I believe that one day, his footsteps will not become a bottleneck restricting the development of the bus." ”
Tiger also sighed and said: "Yes, after all, the physical quality is there, I hope the bus can hit a piece of its own sky, if Da Yao comes, the bus really has no place in the rocket." ”
Lao Tang also sighed, and the two said a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
At this time, Tiger was sitting in New York, commanding his financial empire, and when the dot-com bubble began to burst, he began to expand his territory again.
And the Rockets are also under the management of Lao Tang, facing the next opponent of the Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs.
The last time I defeated the Spurs on the road, at the beginning of the game, the Rockets showed it again, which may be the reason for the beginning of the game, the old men of the Spurs are still very physically strong, and the speed of retreat is quite good, and they have resolved the fast attack of the Rockets many times.
Seeing that the fast break was blocked many times, the Rockets began to adjust, and the bus came on the court again to replace Big Ben.
The Rockets' inside hammer is starting to wield power on the Spurs' inside.
The bus singled Robinson, two consecutive hits, and after hitting a line of space, a beautiful turn and layup.
Robinson, who was hit by the bus, looked at the kid in front of him, and thought to himself: When I fought against this kid before, I didn't find that this kid had such a strong impact, what's wrong today.
And when Robinson attacked, the strong force of the bus hit Robinson who was attacking with the ball, forcing Robinson to pass the basketball out.
Looking at the strong man behind him, Robinson already had the strangeness just now, and turned into surprise.
What the hell is going on today, how can this kid have such a powerful attack power.
Just when Robinson was surprised, Duncan missed the shot, the rebound was again got by the stuck bus, a long pass through the half, Bodi Roga got the basketball in the middle line, and got rid of the opponent with a dodge with the ball.
Then, he passed the ball to Crosill, who was already on the verge of going down, and Crosshire bravely jumped up against Barkley, who had already returned to the defense, and was a two-handed slam dunk across Barkley.
With a loud "boom", the 2.08-meter Crohill hung his hands on the basket and looked down at Barkley in front of him.
Watching the Rockets players play on their home court, the Spurs players seemed to be blinded, and the entire game was like sleepwalking by the Rockets' players.
By the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had led their opponents by 11 points.
Looking at the form on the court, Vicky's roar has been transmitted to the Rockets.
Lao Tang looked at the form of the game, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After the start of the second quarter, the Spurs' game state has changed somewhat, but it still can't change the general trend on the court, Robinson was temporarily suppressed by the bus, both offensive and defensive, the bus temporarily suppressed the opponent.
With the silence of the Spurs' interior line, only Barkley can have some advantages against Crohill, and can score some points from time to time, and the other points are completely silent under the strong suppression of the Rockets.
By the end of the second quarter, the Rockets had extended the score to 20 points, and the Spurs players walked into the locker room with deep desperation.
** Vicky looked at the Rockets players who also walked into the player tunnel, and fell into a deep powerlessness, is it true that the Spurs have no chance to reach the top.
With deep doubts, Vicky also walked into the locker room.
After halftime adjustments, the mental state of the Spurs in the second half of the game has changed a lot, and the Spurs' interior line has once again regained its strong attacking power, but is the Rocket so easy to be overturned?
Obviously not, the huge advantage of 20 points in the Rockets' hands has become an insurmountable chasm.
Until the end of the game, the Spurs were always suppressed by the Rockets, and the score between the two sides was always hovering at 20 points, and any efforts of the Spurs were in vain in the face of the strong pressure of the Rockets.
In the end, 101-81, the Rockets defeated the Spurs by 20 points at home.
The rocket continues to be a formidable deterrent on its own.
After the game, Vicky just said one thing: a great team that can compete with the Celtics for eight consecutive championships has appeared.
When Lao Tang heard this, he just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
But I secretly said in my heart: we will start a new era.
