Chapter 313, Flying Clouds

Lao Tang is a person with firm beliefs, and he must try what he decides, and it may be this attitude that has also made Lao Tang's brilliant coaching career, whether it is in his past life or in this life.

After coming out of the café, Lao Tang called Dawson directly and explained his attitude very resolutely, Dawson was also silent for a long time, he didn't know if he should support his old buddy to do this. Because, once confirmed, the blow to the current rocket will be fatal.

However, hearing his old buddy's insistence, Dawson was also shaken, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Rudy, I'll go with you, we must get a result today, it's too uncomfortable to hang like this, I can't help it anymore, and in recent days, some people have begun to ask me if there is something personal that affects my work." ”

The two old guys unified their thoughts, and Dawson contacted Tiger, while Lao Tang told Brooks, who was still beside him: "Scott, you must keep this matter a secret, if it really leaks out, then the blow to the morale of the Rockets will be fatal, and our dream of three consecutive championships may be shattered, this year's Trail Blazers and Lakers have the ability to pull the Rockets off the horse, this matter must not be carelessly known?" ”

Brooks nodded very solemnly, Lao Tang looked at Brooks's solemn expression, patted him on the shoulder and said with some hesitation: "Scott, I hope my thoughts are all in vain, the boss is just a little complaining." ”

After that, he opened the car door, started the car, and left quickly, he was going to find Dawson, and then go with Dawson to have a good talk with his boss.

At this time, Tiger was also a little inexplicable about the phone call Dawson gave him just now, and he didn't know what the general manager and coach of his team were looking for him.

While he was pondering, Dawson and Old Tang had already arrived. 'Dangdang' Dawson knocked softly on the office door, and Tiger said loudly, "Please come in." ”

Dawson and Lao Tang pushed the door in, Tiger looked at the two and said with a smile: "Hehe, when did the two of you get together, if there is anything unclear on the phone, you have to meet face-to-face." ”

After Dawson and Lao Tang sat down, Dawson said very solemnly: "Boss, this matter can be said to be related to the life and death of the rocket, and Rudy and I have to be cautious." ”

Looking at the seriousness of the two of them, Tiger also realized the seriousness of this matter, involuntarily sat up straight, and said very seriously: "Oh, what is the problem so tricky, let's hear it." ”

Dawson and Lao Tang glanced at each other, and Lao Tang gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, I want to know if you want to leave Team Rocket." ”

After hearing such a short sentence, Tiger stood up from his chair, looked directly at the two of them, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you say again, Dawson, Rudy, don't you know that if this is spread, the Rocket's championship this year may be lost?" Can the two of you afford to take such a responsibility? ”

Watching a strong man's breath burst into Tiger, the two felt that they felt the pressure obviously, an invisible pressure, a pressure that only the superior has before, although the two are also famous characters for a long time, but this kind of pressure is also the first time they have met. However, Lao Tang and Dawson are not ordinary people, and it is not for nothing that they can achieve such success in this circle. Trying to stabilize his emotions, Lao Tang said in a deep voice: "Boss, Dawson and I just want to know if you have any thoughts and plans to leave. ”

Old Tang's words fell, and the three of them began to be silent for a long time, Tiger didn't know how to answer this question, because he knew what he was thinking in his heart, and he really had the idea of leaving. However, instead of leaving completely, but taking a back seat, allowing himself to spend more time with his family, Tiger doesn't want his child to be born, he can only watch from the side, and he also wants to wave his ability.

Tiger was silent for a long time, and both Old Tang and Dawson knew that their boss might really have the idea of leaving, but they could only wait anxiously for their boss to make a final decision.

In the end, Tiger finally spoke, if he didn't say it, Dawson and Lao Tang might have a heart attack, Tiger said in a deep voice: "I have the idea of leaving, but it's definitely not to sell Team Rocket, you should also know that my wife's due date is around September this year, and once the child is born, it means that I will become a father, I don't know what kind of state you two are in when you become fathers, I'm quite excited now." Hehe, I don't know if you can feel all this to become a father This is a heavy and light topic. ”

Looking at Tiger, who is excited when it comes to his next generation, what else can Old Tang and Dawson say, can you ask an expectant dad to devote all his energy to the club? Obviously this is not possible. Tiger's industry is really too much, the Rocket can only be regarded as a very small part of his industry, and now Dawson and Lao Tang only remember how huge the industry under their boss is, and in recent years, Tiger has been able to focus a large part of his energy on the Rocket Club, that is because of Tiger's love for basketball and love for the club, if there is no this, maybe the Rockets can only be regarded as part of his many investments.

Tiger didn't pay attention to the increasingly relaxed looks of Dawson and Lao Tang, and continued: "Actually, I don't want to leave the Rockets, you know, I can train my own child to be a Rocket fan, but my biggest dream, and as my own family's industry, I think my descendants should become Rocket fans without any ideas, I'm looking forward to that day now, so, Dawson and Rudy, you two rest assured, I will never defend the Rockets, You should know how much affection I have for the Rockets, the current Rockets players can be said to be selected by me, and I also know whether the Rockets can become the existence of the Boston Celtics in the past, how can I give up. ”

Hearing this, Dawson and Lao Tang both let out a long breath, they knew that their boss still had an extremely deep affection for the rocket, as long as he didn't announce the sale of the rocket, the rocket would be as strong as ever.

Thinking of this, Lao Tang said with some complaints: "Boss, then why don't you tell us as soon as possible, if we understand in advance, we won't be so worried, isn't Dawson and I so unworthy of your peace of mind?" ”

Tiger had a little helplessness on his face, and said in a very apologetic tone: "Dawson, Rudy, it's not that I don't trust you, but you know the impact of this matter, if it really spreads, I don't know if I can control the impact within a certain range, if because of me, the Rockets have the opportunity to defend the title and three consecutive championships, I will be very uncomfortable." The Rockets club is a part of my life now, and I really don't want to hurt the Rockets because I'm here. ”

Tiger said very sincerely, Lao Tang and Dawson also sighed for a while after listening to it, they also knew the impact of this matter, and they really couldn't blame Tiger.

After getting Tiger's true answer, Lao Tang and Dawson were completely relieved, and Brooks also took a long breath after receiving Lao Tang's call: "Thank God, it can be said that the biggest crisis of the rocket has passed, and a stable team has a vital influence on the stable development of the rocket, it seems that the era of the rocket has come." ”

After Lao Tang solved the doubts in his heart, a rare smile appeared on his face again, and the stone in the heart of the Rocket player was completely put down, looking at the Rocket player who saw Lao Tang's smile, he was even more privately arranging Lao Tang, Mark? Jackson is privately spreading whether the coach is because he is busy during this time, some men have dysfunction, and whether his current smile is not showing his strength from the help of some small blue pills.

It's very unfortunate that these words were heard by Old Tang, Mark? Jackson received extreme care in training, and his defensive object became Da Yao, such an obviously retaliatory arrangement became due to the defense of Old Tang? Jackson's hook technique is very good and can be a demonstration for Da Yao.

Sad Mark? Jackson looked at Da Yao, who was more than o centimeters taller than himself, and could only be silent with tears in his eyes, and the sound of shooting sounded in his ears.

The return of Lao Tang's state also brought the return of combat effectiveness to the Rockets, and when their first game of the Trailblazers started, the Rockets' state had returned to their peak state.

Are the jump balls on both sides Garnett and Rashid? Wallace, and Sabonis's opponent today is the old guy Olajuwon, and it seems that the old guy will definitely have a collision like Mars hitting the earth today.

When the referee threw the basketball into the air, Garnett's fast bullet took the overwhelming advantage, Garnett's powerful legs pushed Garnett's slender body, and took the lead in giving the basketball to his teammates. Patterson was like a mad dog at this time, hanging directly on Bodi Loga.

Bodiloga looked at this sturdy black boy and said in his henchman: This kid is really difficult, it seems that the league is going to produce a defensive warrior again.

Although Bodi Loga's heart thinks about a lot of things, he wants to think about what he should do, and he also does it. Bodiloga flicked his hand and the ball flew through the air to find his next controller. Horry has appeared in the paint area of the Trail Blazers, Horry who is holding the ball looks at Pippen next to him, the kind of face that is always serious, showing a smile, Horry holding the ball suddenly turned around, leaned on Pippen, and chose to attack by himself. Pippen was a little caught off guard, and was directly squeezed out of the space by Horry, so that Horry directly faced the basket, and Horry did not hesitate when he saw the opportunity, raised his hands with one hand, and his legs were forced, and the person rushed directly into the air, .o8 meters tall plus arm span, Horry didn't need any force to bounce at all, and he could directly dunk.

There was a crisp sound of "bang", and the basketball was smashed into the basket, and Pippen could only look at Horry after he landed, and high-fived his teammates who ran up.

Lao Tang also nodded on the sidelines, he is in very good shape of the whole team today.

On the court, Garnett looked at Horry, who was dunking after the game, and laughed loudly: "Hey, I said Robert, you are really hot today, did you do anything that excites you last night?" ”

Garnett chuckled and teased Horry, and the elder Horry shrugged his shoulders and retorted: "Okay, Kai, you think I'm just like you, I don't have anything to do to attract bees and butterflies, I'm a family man, what I want to do most every day now is to be with my daughter, if it weren't for my daughter's need for money for treatment, I might have retired." ”

Thunder? Aaron chuckled softly on the side, "You can retire, hehe, Robert, you can't do without basketball." ”

Horry smiled a little dullly, didn't say anything, and went up to defend Pippen against his opponent. Thunder? Aaron and Garnett glanced at each other, both a little helpless.

Ever since Horry knew that his daughter was a genetic type of disease, he had constantly blamed himself, and had privately told his friend that if he hadn't indulged in drinking and smoking during his wife's conception, his daughter might not have been like this.

He blamed himself very much for this, and since then people have not seen Horry appear in the place of the wind and moon. This may be the responsibility and obligation of a man after he matures.

Back on the court, Horry is as hard as a stone, especially his big tenacious heart, he is like a cold-blooded killer, when the opponent is most excited, he stabs the opponent's heart hard.

Pippen looked at the opponent in front of him for several years, although Pippen has experienced many opponents, but the person in front of him is the deepest memory.

This man stood firmly in front of him when he rose from the Bulls for the second time, and it has been a few years, and he can't remember it anymore, but Horry's kraft-like defense and ruthless and resolute fouls have impressed Pippen the most.

From the Bulls to the Trail Blazers, this man is arguably the most successful defender of his career, which Pippen himself has to admit.

Pippen also looked at his opponent with a blank face, all he had to do was to knock down the man in front of him, and then defeat the Rockets to put the Trail Blazers on the road to the championship.

Pippen let out a low snort, and suddenly increased the tempo in his hand, and after changing the rhythm of the dribble, a beautiful horizontal wipe took advantage of his body changes and directly flashed Horry who was defending him.

With a big stride straight into the Rockets' box, Garnett and Olajuwon began to move quickly and stepped forward to block Pippen's offensive lane.

But Pippen, who is already old, is not so easy to deal with, a beautiful ground-hitting pass, and the basketball is directly handed over to Sabonis, who has sneaked to the basket.

Sabonis, who was about to throw, swept the corner of his eye and saw Olajuwon, who originally thought he was going to defend Pippen, with a stride and stretched his hands, and pounced again.

A smile appeared at the corner of Sabonis's mouth, and with a flick of his wrist, Reuben, who had slipped in from the other side of the bottom line? Patterson receives the ball, jumping on the spot is a dunk, and then looking at the defender opposite him, Ray? Aaron, already Rashid? Wallace blocked it directly.

Very classic offensive coordination, the Trailblazers' delicate coordination, can be said to be the best in the league now, so far the game has entered the stage of daylight, both sides have taken their strongest combat effectiveness, wholeheartedly into the game.

The two sides have entered a state of anxiety, and the Trailblazers have an absolute tacit understanding today, and the Trailblazers, who have been running in for several seasons, finally broke out their strongest side.

And the Rockets are not to be outdone, they also have to defend their status as kings, the two sides are tugging at each other, both sides in the first quarter of the game when there is no official timeout, the head coaches of both sides are waiting for the opponent to change.

The first to make changes was the Trail Blazers, after all, Sabonis had an injury, and if the old injury returned, the Trail Blazers would lose more than they gained.

In the 8th minute, Dunleavy Sr. replaced Sabonis and brought on Jermaine? O'Neal, watching the Trail Blazers make substitutions, the Rockets have also adjusted, and Big Ben is on the court against Jermaine? O'neill.

Now little O'Neal is not the guy who can blow up with Garnett and Duncan in the future generations of walkers, although he has gotten rid of immaturity, he is not particularly mature, and there is still a gap between him and the top powerhouses in terms of body, technology, and consciousness.

And in the face of Ben, who has already begun to reach the peak of his defensive ability? Wallace, there really aren't many ways for O'Neill Jr., although there is Rashid? Wallace was on the side, and O'Neal Jr. was still a little suffocated by the big defense.

Dunleavy Sr. also wanted to make adjustments right away, but looking at the first quarter of the game, which was about to end, Dunleavy Sr. sat down again, he wanted to see if O'Neal Jr. could break through the Rockets' defense against him without coaching.

In the face of Big Ben's tight defense, O'Neal Jr. really couldn't hold on, and he was already out of breath after not playing for a long time, I'm afraid the psychological factors are far greater than the physical ones.

As the clock ticked into the final moments of the first quarter, Rashid? Wallace gave O'Neal Jr. his last chance, and O'Neal Jr., who was a little surprised, looked at Rashid with encouragement in his eyes? Wallace, unconsciously, swelled up in his heart, a power to be trusted.

Little O'Neal, who was dominated by this kind of power, grabbed the basketball, turned around violently with a loud shout, and quickly wiped over Big Ben, and Big Ben chased after him without nervousness, because Little O'Neal had stopped him from doing similar actions several times before.

This time there should be no problem for him, but it was the ball that should be fine, but it was precisely O'Neill Jr. who seized the opportunity.

The sudden force of little O'Neal suddenly broke away from Ben's defense, his legs were strong, he held the basketball with both hands, and his body stretched into a bow in the air, and then the bow was suddenly straightened, and the basketball was dunked into the basket at the last second.

With a bang, the basketball was smashed into the basket, and with this explosion, the first quarter of the game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers ended.
