"Hey, Dawson, Rudy, how is this time without a game?" I, Tiger, with a spring breeze on my face, greeted Dawson and Old Tang with a haggard face.

"You are the boss, we are a part-time worker, can you compare with you." Dawson looked unwilling, who could be willing, his boss was spending all day drinking outside, and his own was as tired as a mule and horse at home.

"Hehe, don't blame me, I told you, let you be my yacht and go to the Caribbean with me to have fun, aren't you unwilling to go." A leisurely Tiger replied as he drank his tea.

"You're fine, Mr. Tiger, at least 20 or so beauties on your yacht are traveling with you. As for me, if my wife could hunt me down in an Apache helicopter by myself, you'd go around me. Dawson had a bitter look on his face.

"Hehe, that's still not going to talk about that." Tiger himself knew that he was purely going to the Uncovered Conference.

"You called me back for this year's draft."

"Yes, boss, a lot of teams are now interested in our first-round No. 5 pick. In fact, the Timberwolves' No. 5 pick for two consecutive years is really lucky. However, we all got it in exchange. The corners of Dawson's mouth straightened.

"It's not bad, Rudy, you should know the shortcomings of our team now, this year is a big year for the draft, we have 1 first-round pick, three 2-round picks, you can plan it well." asked Lao Tang, who was looking at this year's draft list without saying a word.

"yes, we know the ambitions of the owner, and our four draft picks this year will be a huge help to us in filling out the roster, first of all, let's talk about the staffing and needs of our team. We don't need to supplement the position of the defender Mark Jackson is the best passer now, although the speed is a little slower, but it is compatible with the team's overall tactics and rhythm, Cassel is our team's best sixth man, as long as he is on the court, he can score points, and his individual attack is strong, Bodi Roga is an excellent swingman, so to speak, his all-round may only Pippen can be better than him, but our back line is not without weaknesses, that is, the defense of these people is not very good, and Mark's speed is slow, Kassel's height and physical condition are weak, and Bodi Roga's defense still has European characteristics, but the technique of making fouls is very good. However, as long as we put it together well, we won't have much of a problem organizing the defenders. Lao Tang slowly analyzed.

"What about the other location?" Tiger asked, a little impatiently.

"Well, and then there's the shooting guard, Clyde is definitely a top scoring guard, maybe the one who can overtake him in the scoring guard position now is Michael, but, you see, Clyde is getting older, and his backup Mario Elli is not too young for him, so looking for a good scoring guard this year is a top priority, I looked through the rookies who are better shooting guards this year, and I have a few seedlings in the picture, Ray Allen, Kerry Kittels, Kobe Bryant A. Bryant, these are all very good shooting guards, but my favorite is Ray Allen. Lao Tang continued his explanation.

"What about Kobe Bryant, he's pretty good too." Tiger was a little confused, no matter how he said it, he came through, and the later god of science and technology, Mr. 81 points, was the man closest to God later.

"Yes, so to speak, although Kobe Bryant is a high school student, I see one thing from this high school student, and that is persistence. That kid is definitely the same paranoid as Michael, and his dedication and focus on basketball are unparalleled, but, boss, you know, the core of our future is Kevin, you must know that Kevin is also an unruly guy, I don't want there to be a bomb in our locker room in the future, and Kittels, this young man, seems to be very reluctant to engage in physical confrontation, but in the NBA, if you are afraid of physical contact, then congratulations, you can go home. But this kid of Ray Allen is different, I have learned some of his information, this is a gentle person, it can be said that he is very similar to Clyde, he can be a fixed-point pitcher or hold the ball to break through, although the defense is weak, but he is not afraid of physical contact, and has a high defensive enthusiasm, although he and Kobe Bryant's kid may not reach Kobe's height in the future, but he is definitely the cornerstone of our rocket's future, he will handle the relationship with Kevin very well, and is Kevin's best assistant in the future, That's how I see it. Lao Tang said very firmly.

"Well, well, that's it." Tiger continued.

"Don't worry about the boss, let me talk to you slowly." Lao Tang took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"The position of shooting guard can be selected for the time being, because Dejan can also play, he is an excellent swing man, and this season his three-point shooting has also improved, he can break through with the ball or be a fixed-point shooter. So, for the time being, one person is enough, and although Clyde is old, he is not yet at the point where he can't move. In terms of the position of our small forward, Horry is a very good small forward, he has the height of a big forward and the skill and pace of a small forward, so as long as he finds a substitute who can be relieved, the playing time is about 15 minutes, and the character who can be on top when Horry is injured, I think we will find such a person in the 2nd round, it depends on luck, however, I recommend Shanton Anderson, the three-point shooting rate is okay, can defend, and the speed is good, It's a 2-round rookie who doesn't take up salary space, a very good role player, and if the small forward position is injured, hehe, Deyang can also come up, I don't want to say, last year our boss had a very good vision. Lao Tang smiled and praised me.

"Luck, you keep talking about Rudy." Tiger smiled and motioned for Old Tang to continue.

"In the next big forward position, Kevin must find an excellent substitute, you have to know how fierce the competition is on the inside, if a slight mistake to tire Kevin out, it is trouble, I have two candidates here, one is Marik Rose, although the height is not very high, but very strong and basic skills are solid, there is a certain impact, the physical condition is also good, is a reliable player, very fighting spirit, in one is O'Cella Harrington, At 2.06 meters tall, he has a strong body and excellent interior skills, but he is a little bulkier, but this is nothing, we are just a qualified substitute, not an All-Star. The position of the center, the big dream is also Clyde's situation, the older he gets, the worse his health is, the more he has to find a good replacement, this year's center, I took a look, Sherif Sharif, Portapanko, Jermaine O'Neal, Ilgoskas, Chevis Knight, this is all very good, but these people may be first-round out, I don't think we have much hope of selecting, after all, we only have one first-round pick. Lao Tang took a sip of tea and said all his opinions eloquently.

"Thank you, Rudy, hehe, it seems that you have worked hard this time, but I also have some opinions, I need a while." Tiger smiled, ready to speak his mind.

"Then you say, let's listen." Old Tang and Dawson exchanged glances.

"First of all, I basically agree with Rudy's candidate." Tiger thought to himself, is it basically the same as he thinks, it's not an old fox.

"We are looking at the future, and this year's newcomers are basically decided, but I still found that there are good candidates missing from the draft list." Well, it's over if you can't figure it out.

Dawson and Lao Tang, the two of them hurriedly swept towards the list.

"Ben Wallace, I don't know if you're paying attention." Tiger said the name slowly.

Lao Tang and Dawson hurriedly found this person's information and looked at it.

Looking at it, the names slowly squeezed together.

"Boss, you mean, this 2.06m guy, but his offense is really terrible, I've watched the training games, you have to know that he only has an attack under the basket and a second attack under the basket. Without the basket, he's nothing. Dawson said in surprise.

"I agree, Dawson, that I don't really see anything about this man except that he's a little more physical." Lao Tang looked at the information and shook his head.

"But I think this guy will be a top defender in the future, although the role is not very big when attacking, but if you want to match him with a group of scorers, what will be the effect, and I found that there is no bench press on this information, do you know what his bench press is? I'm telling you, it's 455 pounds, you know what O'Neal's bench press is? It's 437 pounds. Such a Hercules-like guy, can we give up, this can be a single defense against O'Neal's big killer in the future, and he also has excellent bounces, always full of passion and power, almost always maintains a high level of excitement and concentration, and takes every attack and defense seriously. Desperate to grab every rebound, actively participate in every defense, can be described as a representative of hard and hard players, a role model for blue-collar players, if such a guy misses, I will not let go of myself, thinking about what it would be like for such a guy and Kevin to form an inside line, hehe, it will be a nightmare for those guys who say they like to break through. Tiger sat in the boss's chair, squinting at Dawson and Old Soup about his impressions of Wallace.

"Well, boss, do you think he can reach the heights you say?" Lao Tang was still a little hesitant.

"Yes, it will, it's up to you, Rudy." Tiger said confidently to Old Tang.

"Alright then, you convinced me, boss." Lao Tang looked at his boss, and the helpless person shrugged, and was a little unhappy.

Looking at the old soup and thinking: Hehe, you're going to love Big Ben, I promise.

"Okay, then the list I'm going to send away has been sorted out." Tiger said to Dawson.

"If, according to your thoughts, I think I'm going to send everything but Hakim, Clyde, Mark, Horry, Cassel, Dejan, and Kevin behind." Dawson said, looking at the information.

"Hey, yes, many of them are old courtiers from the time when the rockets won two consecutive championships, so let's send them away, I'm really a little reluctant." Lao Tang looked at the list to be sent away and said with some sadness.

"No way, Rudy, this is the NBA, this is this business league, look at it, Rudy." Tiger got up and walked over to Old Tang's side and comforted.

"I understand, boss, it's for the future of the rocket." Lao Tang said with a bitter face.

"Okay, Dawson, you go and start the contact now, no way, this is business." Patting the old soup, Tiger said to Dawson, who had already gotten up and was about to leave.

"I understand, boss." With that, Dawson turned and left.

June 25th.

At Madison Square Garden in New York, the '96 draft began.

The annual gamble is open, and it's a gamble for the individual teams.

But for those who have memories of the next 15 years, this is a department store, a market that complements our Rocket lineup.

As happened in history.

Philadelphia, which took first place, picked the little man who would later be called 'AI'.

Aaron Iverson, well, this guy is great, he's a fighter, but it's not suitable for rockets, in fact, if this kid can grow 10 centimeters taller, I can use rockets to replace him now, but unfortunately he's only 1.83 meters, which can't help but be said to be a pity. (Actually, I like the 'AI' very much, but you have to admit that he is not a team player, his own style of play is a tragedy, if he can grow to 1.93 meters, then find him a few Bull-like personnel combinations, then there will definitely be an 'AI' dynasty)

The second-place Toronto picker was Canby.

It's not bad, it's just too thin, but it's really a bit unworthy of the name to become the eye of the 96 year.

The third Vancouver candidate was Sharif Abdul Rahim.

He's a good guy, but he's a glass man.

The fourth Milwaukee chose Marbury.

Well, how to put it, he's only suitable for playing streetball.

Fifth, in the original plane, Ray Allen, who was drafted by the Timberwolves, then switched owners with Marbury.

However, the rocket will not do such a stupid thing now.

The thirteenth-place Golden State selected Kobe Bryant and immediately traded to the Lakers.

This may be the Lakers' proudest trade.

The fifteenth Phoenix chose Nash.

However, Nash has three ups and downs in Phoenix.

Master passer, hehe, it's a pity that if I hadn't had Bodi Roga, a magnified Nash, I wouldn't have let go.

Seventeenth Portland chose O'Neal Jr.

He's learned a lot from Sabonis and Rashid Wallace, and he'll learn a lot.

The twentieth Cleveland chose the big Z.

In fact, if Big Z is not injured, he is also a very good center.

The twenty-fourth Lakers chose Fisher

Very good player, it's a pity to participate in this year's draft.

In the thirtieth place, the Rockets chose Ocella Harrington.

The Rockets' expected bench player.

In the forty-second place, the Rockets chose Marrick Rose

The same puzzle player (the original plane was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets.) ）

In the fiftieth place, the Rockets selected Shanton Anderson

The one who was chosen by Utah was hijacked by rockets.

Immediately, the Rockets signed a free agent, Ben Wallace, to a guaranteed base salary contract.

The end of this year's draft of the Rockets was announced.

After that, the Rockets called back the bus that played in the NBDL.

However, the bus is now training in the United States with the Chinese national men's basketball team.

Preparing for the Olympics in '96.

At this time, after a year of training and competition in the United States, the bus has significantly improved its body, technique, consciousness, and footsteps.

When training in the team, he completely suppressed the opposing players.

This made Dazhi, who was in the position with him, envious.

And Tiger, who understands the situation of Dazhi in the original time and space, is arguing with the Chinese Basketball Association for his situation and clearing the obstacles for Dazhi to go to the United States.

Create a different Dazhi from the new.;
