After an unexpected loss to the Magic due to physical exhaustion, the Rockets finally returned to their home court to face the Seattle SuperSonics.

Carl Sr. has left the HyperSonics, but the Seattlemen have brought in Westphal, a coach like that, to take charge of the Sonics.

It stands to reason that the supersonic should still be one of the strongest teams in the west, but because of the fall of one person, the overall decline of supersound.

Challenging the Rockets away from home, and the Rockets who just lost, everyone is not optimistic about the prospects of supersound.

Everyone thinks that the Rockets will definitely vent their anger at losing to the Magic on the supersonics, but there is one person who doesn't think so, that is, the main power forward of the current supersonics? Baker.

If it was placed last year, some people might think about it, but today's article? Baker said such things, more because people thought that the kid had drunk too much.

But this was really said after he drank too much, and before the start of the race with the rocket, this kid went to a nightclub to drink. You read that right, it's drinking, the average NBA player goes to a nightclub to see if he can meet some sexual encounters and the like, this kid goes to drink, if he doesn't get drunk, he won't come back.

Wen? Baker was one of the biggest victims of the '99 shutdown, and when there were no games, the kid contracted an alcoholic problem, and at first the SuperSonics management and coaching staff thought it was just a minor problem, as long as the league started, like Wen? As long as a player like Baker puts his heart and soul into the league, then nothing will be a problem.

However, they thought wrongly, this guy actually brought a wine jug to train when he was training, as long as he exercised, then his whole body was not sweat, but alcohol.

Prolonged drinking has violated the text? Baker's nervous system, now only 27 years old? Baker is already slower than a 37-year-old man.

Looking at the text? Baker's fall, supersonic fans, coaches and players are very sad, but they can't help it, because this kind of thing is not up to them, and it must be corrected by the parties themselves.

People can only look at the thick mountain little by little, with a simple and unpretentious style of writing? Baker slowly went into decline.

On February 24, 1999, the Rockets faced the SuperSonics on their home court, and after the game began, the SuperSonics once mastered the situation on the court. Baker, finally sobered up today, facing Garnett's defense, Wen? Baker showed his peak strength, and the consecutive singles Garnett was successful, and Garnett at this time was completely literated? Baker's side dishes.

Seeing this situation, Lao Tang on the court yelled at Garnett loudly: "Kevin, what did you kid do last night, he was beaten like this by a drunk, do you still want to play in the league, if you don't want to play, give it to me immediately, I think many people want to replace you." ”

Old Tang's roar stimulated Garnett, and it also stimulated Wen? Baker.

When the text? When Baker confronted Garnett again, he listened to the text? Baker said to Garnett: "Your coach has such a stinky mouth, does he know what politeness is?" ”

Garnett's poisonous tongue has been practiced almost in the past few years, and Mark next to him? Jackson, in addition to Kenny? Smith's slut came over to help with nothing, and now Garnett's lethality is huge.

Looking at the text that is poisonous to himself? Baker, Garnett smiled contemptuously, and then looked at Wen who was getting fatter. Baker said: "I said drunkard, don't you think what our coach said is very right, a person who only knows how to drink is not worthy of playing such a highest-level game, I suggest that you kid retire quickly, what should you do with a pension." However, a piece of advice to you is to quit drinking before you get your pension, or your pension will turn into whiskey or something, all of which will be poured into your stomach, and then spit it out in your esophagus and mouth as it passes, and I feel sick to think about it. ”

Hearing this? Baker, his face has turned eggplant red, he is really already furious, angry Wen? Baker, with a howl, slammed his body into the basket with one hand.

However, he was greeted by the referee's whistle, offensive fouls, and looked at Garnett who fell to the ground triumphantly. Baker was already carried away by his own blood, and yelled loudly at the referee who came up to signal that he had fouled: "That eye of your TMD, see me foul, where did I foul." ”

Looking at Wen with blood-red eyes? Baker, the referee on duty, looked at Wen who was already on the verge of rage? Baker, there is still some apprehension in his heart, but the quality of a referee is manifested at this time, looking at Wen who yells at himself? Baker, the referee stretched out his hand at that time for a technical foul, the resoluteness of the gesture and the firmness of the action are impressive.

Looking at the text you want to say? Baker, Payton pounced and said, "Are you crazy, Beck, do you still want to play, why are you yelling at the referee, do you really want to sit down and watch the score." ”

After speaking, put the text like a dead dog? Baker, dragged off the bench and was replaced by Westphale, calm and calm.

At this time, the referee walked up to Payton's side and said in a deep voice: "Gary, it's better to take care of your players, if he is still so uncalm, I don't mind letting him go off the court, experience this game, and then calm down in the stands for a few games." ”

When Peyton heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely calm him down." ”

The referee looked at Payton's attitude and walked away satisfied.

Looking at the referee in the distance, Payton gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "This bastard, I really don't know what he thinks, if he continues like this, the supersonic will be over, if he is not playing well, he must get this bastard away." ”

Not to mention that Peyton is gritting his teeth and swearing something.

At this time, the Rockets were really laughing, Garnett was the most ravaged player, just over halfway through the first quarter, the main power forward of the SuperSonics was replaced, which was something that everyone didn't expect.

Olajuwon patted Garnett's ass and said with a smile, "Well done, Kevin, that kid Baker deserves a lesson, if that kid doesn't quit drinking, his career will end soon." ”

Garnett showed his snow-white teeth, looking a little chilly, and heard Garnett say: "It's nothing, it's just what I should do, whether he quits drinking or not, the SuperSonics want to snatch a victory on the home court of the Rockets, they have to come up with something, the Rockets are not the belly of the fish that they can clean up as they want." ”

Olajuwon looked at the kid full of strong self-confidence in front of him, and smiled very gratifyingly, a team with such a leader, plus a group of powerful players, the future of the rocket is really extremely bright.

The first quarter of the game ended quickly, and the SuperSonics could only rely on the old men of Payton and Schramf to support the score and not be pulled away.

Hawkins and Dale? Ellis also insisted on the supersonic interior line from being blown up, and in this way, at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had a seven-point lead.

After a brief adjustment, the Rockets and Supersonics began the second quarter of the game.

After a long time of calming down on the field? Baker played again, but in the face of the Rockets' strong defense, Wen played again? Baker began to struggle, and alcoholism also took a toll on Baker's fitness, and when the second quarter was eight minutes into the game, Moon? Baker had to apply for a dismissal because he was really tired.

After losing the text? Beck's containment, Garnett is more active on the field, and Bodiroga's air catch, assist Ray? Allen's flowing dunk.

Blocking space for Horry on the outside and making long-range shots, Garnett showed his all-round talent.

And Westphal, the head coach of the SuperSonics, stood on the sidelines and compared to the text? Baker and Kevin? Garnett shook his head in his heart, the gap was getting bigger and bigger.

By the end of the second quarter, the Rockets had extended the score to 11 points, and if it weren't for a couple of three-pointers from Hawkins and Schramf, the SuperSonics would have died long ago.

At halftime, Lao Tang praised Garnett vigorously, and his face was red when he was teased by his teammates.

At the start of the second half, Garnett vented all the frustration in his locker room on his opponent, and the Rockets' strong attack power was on full display.

The offensive line with Garnett as the arrow wreaked havoc on the whole process of the third quarter of the game, and Garnett, who scored 16 points in a single quarter, let the SuperSonics know what a top power forward is.

Looking at the declining superSonic, Payton had no confidence, he didn't know what else he could do.

Payton, who had fallen into sleepwalking on the court, was replaced by Westphale after the start of the fourth quarter of the game, because he could no longer see Payton's role on the court.

When the bell rang at the end of the game, at 118:95, the Rockets proved themselves with their actual actions that the words of some people before the game were actually as smelly as the exhaust gas.

What's even more surprising is that after the game, Wen? Baker actually took out a small silver flask in his travel bag, and then took a sip beautifully, although this action was not photographed by the media, but many people with a heart saw this scene.

Many people are lamenting that the heroes of an era were destroyed by alcohol like this, which makes many people sigh.

But the Rockets are not the only one, at the press conference after the game, Olajuwon said calmly: The Rockets are not the team that anyone says they can beat if they beat it, it is Michael? Jordan didn't say that he would beat whoever he wanted, and in addition, it was a strong team like the Rockets, so I guess the kid who said this must have drunk too much.

The reporter who heard this sentence chuckled.

And Westphal praised the Rockets for their strength and excellence at the press conference, and in addition, he cared for Garnett, a player, and even told you publicly that he was very willing to coach Kevin? A player like Garnett.

When Tiger heard the news, he scoffed and snorted coldly: Whoever wants to dig my corner, don't worry about your buddy's hoe being better than you.

In the midst of the chaos, the Rockets are also about to welcome their next opponent, the Atlanta Hawks.

This team led by the African mountains is not so easy to deal with.
