Chapter 222: A Leisurely Day
After beating the Trail Blazers on his own appearance and avenging the loss to his opponent on the road, the Rockets once again set off for Denver to challenge the Nuggets.
Morality? Anthony's team still couldn't resist the Rockets' powerful offense, and after resisting for three quarters, they were taken over by the Rockets on their home court.
105:88 The Rockets won very well, and the Nuggets lost very well.
Anyway, it's a gap in strength, there's no way, I believe all Nuggets fans know this very well.
After the game, the Rockets returned to Houston overnight, because the Rockets had a two-day rest after the game against the Nuggets, and the Rockets could only hurry up and rush back to Houston so that the players could also have a good rest.
Lao Tang, who conformed to public opinion, gave the Rockets another day off, and the continuous back-to-back games have made many Rockets players a little unbearable, especially Olai Juwon and Mark? An old man like Jackson is even more unbearable.
The Rockets players who returned to Houston finally had a day to relax.
Olajuwon slept in a large bed specially made at home until noon.
Olejuwon's wife, Daria? Asafi looked at her husband very distressed, sitting on the edge of the bed and caressing her husband's exposed back.
Olajuwon was lying on the bed, looking at his wife, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Daria, why don't you talk while sitting over there, is there something wrong?" ”
Daria looked at her husband, was silent for a long time and said: "Hakim, you retire, you have been for so many years, you have money, you have honor, what are you not satisfied with, you must know, you are 36 years old, you are about to be 40 years old, what are you still fighting, you have earned enough money over the years." ”
Looking at his wife who felt sorry for him, Olajuwon felt a burst of happiness in his heart, and wiped the tears from his wife's face with his hand and said: "My dear, I know all this you said, I have earned a lot of money over the years, this money is enough for a stable life outside, and there is also honor, I now have three championship rings on my hand, the most precious of which is the one our team got by beating Michael last year." In fact, all the dreams in my heart have been fully realized, there are no regrets, I am now playing the purest love, the purest love for basketball, I am now enjoying basketball, my 20 years of basketball career, has made this sport a part of my life. I can't live without that round old fellow, Daria, you know, I really don't know what else I can do if I lose that thing. ”
Daria looked at her husband, grabbed her husband's big hand and put it on her face, and said: "But, Hakim, you must know that you are no longer too old to fight with the young man who won on the court, and now I see you on the court with those young people who are 10 years younger than you, or even 15 years old, I can't help crying, does basketball really make you can't let go." ”
Olajuwon looked at his wife, who had been with him for more than 10 years, and continued to wipe the tears from his lover's face with his hands, and said: "Yes, I really can't give up, I also know that I am now getting closer and closer to the last moment, it is this kind of feeling that makes me devote more energy to the game, the taste of competitive sports is sometimes very bitter and sometimes joyful, this taste is very unforgettable." In addition, I feel that I can continue to fight, and we are not yet ready to give up, and I promise you that Daria, when I retire, I will be at home with you every day, shopping with you, shopping with you, and traveling the world with you. ”
Listening to her husband's assurance, Daria, who is already a mother of three children, snuggles up in her husband's arms and enjoys a rare leisure time.
By this time, Bodi Roga was already up and sitting in the yard of his house, enjoying the good weather in Houston in March.
A large recliner, a sun umbrella, a small coffee table, a sportswear Bodi Roga, holding a book of Lev? Tolstoy's "War and Peace" slowly flipped through it.
At this time, Bodi Roga's neighbors, an old American couple about 60 years old, saw Bodi Roga reading a book leisurely, and beckoned: "Hey, Deyang, are you resting today?" ”
Seeing that it was his neighbor, Bodi Roga quickly got up and replied: "Yes, Mr. Bass, there is no training today, the coach gave us a day off, and I have nothing to do, just read a book at home." ”
Old Bass is also a fan of the Rockets, when Bodi Roga became his neighbor, Old Bass was very happy, and Bodi Roga's approachable surname is a deep love of Old Bass, when Bodi Roga often goes out to play, Old Bass often looks after his home.
Seeing that Bodi Roga had a rare day to rest, Old Bas did not continue to disturb his idol, and said: "Then you continue to rest, Deyang, you play ball for a rare day to rest, and your family has not come with you, it is not easy for you to be alone in a foreign country." ”
Bodi Roca said with a wry smile: "My family is reluctant to come to the United States, I can only let them continue to take Europe, their English is not very good, and they are very uncomfortable with the rhythm of life in the United States, I can only follow them." ”
Old Bass also smiled and said: "You are a good young man, you don't have the arrogance of those big-name players, if it weren't for my daughter who is already married, I will definitely introduce you to you." ”
Bodi Roca thought of the sturdy white female surname of Old Bass, who weighed nearly 250 pounds and was 1.8 meters tall, and his heart was for a while, he grinned, and hurriedly read the book by himself, and said in his heart: You are still free of age, just your daughter, hehe, I can't afford it.
At this moment, the other players of the Rockets are also going on their spare time, Garnett is shopping with his wife, looking at Garnett who is all over his handbag, he knows that he is not more relaxed than when he was training.
Thunder? Aaron is also at home with his family, and the family happiness makes people feel happy.
Horry is accompanying his eldest daughter, who has a congenital respiratory disease "LP36 Disappearing Syndrome" has become the softest place in the heart of the big heart.
Looking at his daughter who is sleeping soundly in the hospital bed, this tough guy's face always has endless tenderness.
Mark? Jackson was continuing his sweet dream in bed, looking at the smirk that this drooling guy showed from time to time, needless to say, this guy must be picking up money.
Sauris, a Lithuanian, was sitting in the gym doing aerobic exercises, but the sturdy figure and handsome appearance, coupled with the status of a professional player, many beauties in the gym cast their eyes on him.
Big Ben and Da Ba drank the spirits that Da Ban brought from China at the home of Da Ba, and as professional players, small amounts of alcohol are allowed.
However, at this time, Daben's eyes were not on the wine at all, in the backyard of Daba's house, Da Ben was doing his best secret Mongolian barbecue, the rich aroma of meat, so that Da Ben was already salivating, constantly urging the bus to test faster.
And the family of the bus are all looking at this, an American young man with an ugly face but a surname as straightforward as the bus.
The barbecue is roasted, and the bus sings the long tune of the Mongolian people loudly.
At this moment, it seems to go back to the scenery last year, when the rocket people met to travel to China, and the bus entertained them to visit the Mongolian steppe.
Malik? Ross and Catino? Mobley and his wife were chatting in a low voice by the stream in the suburbs, hanging the fish leisurely.
In the newcomer, Marrick? Ross and Mobley's surnames are the most compatible, and the two have become close friends, so don't you bring your girlfriend to fish today.
With the addition of two friends, a group of more than 10 people, began to go out on an outing with 5 large jeeps.
Halplin was a lover of firearms, and was at the shooting range at this time, excitedly hugging fire.
Daniels and Mark Jr.? Jackson and the two also got together, and the two met to see this year's rodeo festival in Houston, and the two of them went out casually, wearing cowboy hats and cameras.
Compared with the leisure of the Rockets players, Lao Tang is not idle, Dawson has come to Lao Tang's house very early in the morning to discuss with him what Tiger wants to sign for next year's draft.
Listening to Dawson's narration, Lao Tang's brows had already squeezed together.
Because this matter is too difficult to do, the Rockets are so strong now, it is still possible to get the champion sign, will the alliance allow it, there are too many problems and interests involved.
Dawson looked at Lao Tang and asked in a deep voice: "That Chinese kid, can you really deserve the title of champion?" ”
Lao Tang closed his eyes and was silent for a while and said: "Yes, that kid has the potential to become a great center, plus we have a top center like Olajuwon in our team, and he can carry out a series of adjustments, plus this kid is a player who plays very smartly, he will definitely succeed." ”
This time it was Dawson who was silent at first, and after a long time, he heard Dawson say, "You mean, this kid has such potential, but what price do we have to pay to get him?" ”
Lao Tang shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, it's a pity for us to plan." ”
With that, the two began to calculate the number of people who could use the rocket as a bargaining chip.
Dawson said: "We have at least two first-round picks next year, but neither of them is very high, one is from last year with the Jazz, and the other is one of us, and none of them will exceed the top 20 of the first round, which is quite passive. If the draft picks don't work, we will trade the players, but now the Rockets' player configuration is very reasonable, there are not many players who can move, and the main players, the boss will not let them move, and we will suffer. ”
Lao Tang thought for a while and said: "That's not necessarily, the players we may move in our hands now, the bus counts as one, because the eagles have already impressed the boss, we can bring the eagles with us, Malik?" I also let this kid out of Rose, this kid has the strength, let him hold it so hard in the Rockets, this player is going to be scrapped, the matter of Crohill, I think the boss has already told you, in catching up with his explosion this year, it can become a bargaining chip. In this way, I will use three players who can be traded, although they are all substitutes, but such high-quality substitutes are enough to become a main player in other teams, and to be honest, I am really reluctant. ”
Dawson also thought for a while and said: "The 76ers can also be added here, they have always wanted to get a number of defensive players, if the bus goes to the Hawks, then Mutombo is bound to leave, so it will be easy to do, plus no matter who gets the No. 1 pick, we will open the Rockets' draft personnel information to him, I don't believe we can't get this champion." At the end of the sentence, Dawson had already gritted his teeth.
Lao Tang was also silent, and continued to research the data of the researchers, Dawson and Lao Tang, two old guys, were silently planning everything for the future of the rocket.
