Vol 2 Chapter 535: Strong lineup

The 535th chapter strong lineup

When Dawson notified sports reporters from all walks of life in the United States that the Houston Rockets would have major news releases, all sports reporters who received the notification were stunned. Now only 36 hours have passed since the last time Lin Feng held the press conference, so he held the press conference again. Could there be any changes?

Although many reporters were puzzled, they immediately rushed to the press conference of the Houston Rockets. Regardless of whether there will be any violent news coming out, there is always no harm in going there. Besides, with the Houston Rockets owner Lin Feng, he can always find news. News can be dug out without news.

Dawson and Morey looked anxious backstage. Although they vaguely guessed the reason for Lin Feng's holding this press conference, so far, Lin Feng has not revealed anything to them, and they don't know whether Lin Feng's trip went smoothly. If Lin Feng could really invite the **** of basketball-Michael Jordan to join, then... that would be crazy.

For the next ten years, the Houston Rockets have sent away their stars Francis, Mobley, and Cato in exchange for two draft picks for next year, a solid lottery pick (the Cleveland Cavaliers have always determined that they will definitely enter In the lottery area, the arrival of Francis in the opinion of industry experts is not enough to change the weak lineup of the Cavaliers, unless Francis, Mobley, and Cato come together in the Cavaliers), a team that may enter the lottery area (Detroit Pistons), The lineup now seems to be bad and it can't be bad anymore. From the favorable contender for the playoff spot immediately fell into the endorsement of the bad team, most of the free agents with a little aspiration refused to come to the Rockets.

If Jordan can come, relying on the appeal of Jordan and Olajuwon, and then signing Billups, plus the top pick Yao Ming, Dawson and Morey believe it still has a lot of appeal. Although Jordan and Olajuwon are 39 years old, although the tiger is dead, the remaining prestige is still pure, let alone the tiger is not dead.

But is Jordan willing to come?

Dawson and Morey walked around the backstage anxiously, not looking outside to see if Lin Feng came. The expectation and anxiety in my heart is really hard to describe in words.

"Come, here." Morey's eyes were sharp and saw Lin Feng's car arrive.

Dawson's breathing became muddy, and he took two deep breaths to greet him.

At this moment, the door opened.

Lin Feng first came down. Seeing Dawson and Morey with a rush on his face, Lin Fengchong smiled slightly. This smile made Dawson and Morey breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lin Feng must have gained something, but they were still not sure if they hadn't seen Jordan in person.

Olajuwon, who got off the car second, also smiled, which made Dawson and Morey's hearts even more relaxed. But without seeing Jordan with his own eyes, he still can't be sure. The two looked at the car door blankly.

At this time, the third person came down, Billups.

Dawson and Morey sighed slightly, but then a smile appeared on their faces. Billups is definitely the most buried talent right now. His offensive methods are diverse and his defense is suffocating. Although his passing is not as gorgeous and dazzling as Nash and Kidd, he can pass through the soul of a person. , But his passing is extremely concise, without a hint of cleverness, extremely practical, and can be passed to the teammates who should be passed at the most appropriate time.

And it’s even more critical. Billups can play fast breaks or fight positions without taking control. This is crucial for the Houston Rockets. Houston is a team with a center tradition and needs this. This is a point guard who can break fast or advance in layers, and don't like to grab shots.

Dawson and Morey smiled at Billups.

Billups stepped aside and opened the car door with a respectful look.

Dawson and Morey breathed tightly, their palms were sweaty, and they kept meditating in their hearts: It is him, it must be him, he is coming, he is really coming.

When Dawson and Morey's heartbeat suddenly soared to 120, a bald man with a confident and domineering smile walked out of the car and smiled faintly when he saw Dawson and Morey.

Michael Jordan!

It's him, it's really him, Michael Jordan is really here! ——Dawson is nearly 60 years old, but at this moment he still uttered a cheer like a child, and his face was filled with a happy smile like a child who got his favorite fruit.

Morey was even more exaggerated, raising his arms directly, clenching his fists, and roaring.

This is not to blame for the two people being too excited, but because Jordan’s name is too loud and loud. Although Jordan is 39 years old this year, he is still the omnipotent "God of Basketball", and it is nba28 to have Jordan. The dream of the owner, general manager, and head coach of a team (the NBA now has 29 teams). However, in the past, Jordan belonged to the Bulls. After returning for the second time last season, he volunteered to join the Washington Wizards, making all team owners do it. sigh.

But now, Michael Jordan belongs to the Houston Rockets and belongs to the Houston Rockets. Think about how crazy it would be if the fans knew that Michael Jordan joined the Houston Rockets, and how popular the tickets would be. Thinking of the shocked faces of those reporters would excite Dawson, who has been criticized during this time.

"Michael, Michael, I didn't expect that I would see you here!" Dawson greeted Jordan with excitement, walking briskly. At this moment, Dawson couldn't be better to describe Dawson with a refreshing spirit.

But at this moment, another person came out of the car with green hair and Dawson's eyes dangling for a while, but after looking down on the person, a mouth full of astonishment could stuff a goose egg.

"Dennis - Rodman!" Dawson pointed at the green-haired man and cried out.

"God, my goodness, is it my eye, or today is the lucky day of the Houston Rockets, so many legends have come." Dawson said a little bit lost.

Morey was already shocked and speechless.

Seeing Billups, Dawson knew that the Rockets' future lineup had taken shape, and seeing Jordan again, Dawson was already crazy, and finally seeing Dennis Rodman, Dawson could no longer use words to describe his mood at the moment.

In the current Houston Rockets, the center has a "big dream" Olajuwon. Although he is 39 years old and has injuries, he still averaged 7.1 points, 6 rebounds, 1.48 steals and 1.61 blocks per game last season. . Although the data is far less than the peak period, but now the Houston Rockets center position and this year's champion Yao Ming, Olajuwon only needs to play about 15 minutes per game, and within 15 minutes, Olajuwon It can fully play 100% combat power, and there is no need to reduce the "firepower" in order to preserve physical strength like last season, and the data will be further improved.

Center position, according to Dawson's estimation, Yao Mingga Olajuwon averaged at least 25 points and 14 rebounds per game.

At the power forward position, there was originally only a rookie Boozer with a poor physical fitness. Dawson didn't understand why Lin Feng was optimistic about Boozer. In his eyes, Boozer had only a medium body, and his bounce speed was average. The development is not long, and the lateral steps are also very slow. In this era when the power forward combines the agility of the small forward and the strongness of the center, Boozer is really not good. But before the Rockets had no power forwards to choose from, and Lin Feng personally was extremely optimistic, they could only trust Lin Feng's vision and rely heavily on Boozer.

But now that Dennis Rodman is here, everything is different. Although Rodman is 41 years old this year, his body still maintains enough vitality, and at the age of 39, in the 99-00 season, he can still score 2.8 points and 14.3 rebounds. Although two years have passed, just looking at his current spirit and muscle lines, you know that he can still rebound.

Small forward, now the Rockets are shortcomings and no one is available. But it is not important. With the addition of Jordan, Rodman, and Olajuwon, coupled with the appeal of the top pick Yao Ming, Dawson believes that a good small forward can be found in the summer. What's more, now the Houston Rockets have ample salary space after trading Francis, Mobley and Cato.

The shooting guard, needless to say, must be Jordan. Even though Jordan is 39 years old this year, he has already scored 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists last season. Judging from this data, no one knows that the person who took this data is 39 years old.

The title of "God of Basketball" is well-deserved.

As for the point guard, although the superstar Francis is gone, Billups, who is generally underestimated by the industry, is here. Although the scoring ability has dropped slightly, he has gone up a notch in ball possession and assists. In the Timberwolves last season, Billups scored 12.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.

Although from the data point of view, Billups and Francis are far apart, but this data is only that Billups got it in 22.6 minutes without being taken seriously by the Timberwolves. If Billups is given 35-38 minutes of playing time and given full trust, Dawson believes that Billups' data can be doubled.

And one of the biggest differences between Billups and Francis is that Billups has an absolutely strong defense, ample physical strength, a defense that spares no effort, and absolute skills, which can fill Jordan's age, physical decline, and unable to rectify. The shortcomings of maintaining a high degree of defense in the game.

Although this lineup is not perfect, it is definitely strong enough! -Dawson clenched his fists tightly. As long as a few more mid-level rotation players are added, this Houston Rockets entering the playoffs this year is definitely not a dream, and even better results can be expected. After a year of running-in, the rookies of next year's draft year will join, and next year will be the year when the Houston Rockets take off.

The cornerstone of the Rocket Dynasty is laid again.

"Well, Dawson, they will all be our Houston Rockets players in the future. They will work together for the championship and prove to the world that no matter how old you are, how many injuries you have on your body, and how people look down on them, there is only one. With the heart of the champion, we can still win the championship again and even create a dynasty!" Lin Feng stretched out his right fist and aimed it at the sky.

Everyone also stretched out their right fists.

Jordan's face also showed determination. He abandoned all honours and came here, not for money, but to prove that although he is old, he can still win the championship. Those 96 new generations, although powerful, are not enough to make them bow their heads and bend.

I am Jordan, although I am old, I still have the heart of a champion! Can still dominate this stadium! ——Jordan clenched his fists.

"Let's go, it's time to say hello to those reporters!" Lin Feng smiled and took the lead to walk to the press hall.
