Chapter 535: Strong lineup

When Dawson notified sports reporters from all walks of life across the United States, announcing that the Houston Rockets would release major news, all the sports reporters who received the notice were stunned. It has only been 36 hours since the last time Lin Feng held a press conference.

Hold a press conference again, could there be any changes?

Although many reporters were confused, they immediately rushed to the Houston Rockets press conference. No matter whether there would be any breaking news, there was no harm in going. Besides, with Houston Rockets owner Lin Feng here, they could always find news.

.You can dig out news even if there is no news.

Dawson and Morey looked anxious backstage. Although they vaguely guessed the reason why Lin Feng held this press conference, so far, Lin Feng has not revealed anything to them, and they don't know about Lin Feng's trip.

Is it going well? If Lin Feng can really invite the god of basketball, Michael Jordan, to join him, then... that would be really crazy.

Now, in order to plan for the next ten years, the Houston Rockets have given away their star players Francis, Mobley, and Cato in exchange for two next year's draft picks and a certain lottery pick (the Cleveland Cavaliers' configuration has been considered by the industry to be a definite entry).

In the lottery area, in the opinion of industry experts, Francis' arrival is not enough to change the Cavaliers' weak lineup, unless Francis, Mobley, and Cato join the Cavaliers together), a team that may enter the lottery area (Detroit Pistons),

The lineup now seems to be as bad as it gets. It has immediately fallen from being a strong contender for a playoff spot to being the spokesperson for a bad team. Most free agents with some ambition are simply unwilling to come to the Rockets.

If Jordan can come, relying on the appeal of Jordan and Olajuwon, signing Billups, plus the No. 1 pick Yao Ming, Dawson and Morey I believe it will still be very attractive. Although Jordan and Olajuwon

He is already 39 years old, but even though the tiger is dead, his power is still pure, not to mention that this tiger is not dead yet.

But is Jordan willing to come?

Dawson and Morey anxiously walked around backstage, instead of looking outside to see if Lin Feng had arrived. The anticipation and anxiety in their hearts were really difficult to describe in words.

"It's coming, it's coming." Morey's sharp eyes saw Lin Feng's car arriving.

Dawson's breathing became sluggish, and he took two deep breaths and moved forward to meet him.

Just then, the door opened.

The first person to come down was Lin Feng. When he saw Dawson and Morey looking anxious, Lin Feng smiled at them. This smile made Dawson and Morey feel relieved. They knew that Lin Feng must have gained something, but they didn't see it with their own eyes.

After seeing Jordan, I still wasn't sure.

Olajuwon, who was the second to get out of the car, also had a smile on his face, which made Dawson and Morey feel more relaxed. However, they still couldn't confirm without seeing Jordan in person. The two of them looked at the car door eagerly.

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

Dawson and Morey sighed slightly, but then smiles appeared on their faces. Billups is definitely the most hidden talent right now. His offensive methods are diverse, his defense is suffocating, and although his passing is not

Nash and Kidd are so gorgeous and dazzling that they can pass passes that pass through people's souls, but his passes are extremely simple, without any tricks, extremely practical, and can be passed to the right place at the most appropriate time.

Passed to the teammates.

And one thing is even more critical. Billups can play fast breaks and positional battles without occupying the right to take shots. This is crucial for the Houston Rockets. Houston is a team with a traditional center and needs this.

He is a point guard who can break quickly or advance from position to position, but doesn't like to take the ball away.

Dawson and Morey smiled at Billups.

Billups stepped aside, opened the car door, and looked respectful.

Dawson and Morey breathed heavily, their palms were covered in sweat, and they kept thinking silently in their hearts: It's him, it must be him, he's coming, he's really coming.

When Dawson and Morey's heartbeats suddenly jumped to 120, a bald man with a confident face and a domineering smile walked out of the car. When he saw Dawson and Morey, he smiled lightly.

Michael Jordan!

It's him, it's really him, Michael Jordan is really here! Even though Dawson is nearly 60 years old, he still cheers like a child at this moment, and his face is as bright as a child who got his favorite candy.

happy smile.

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

This is not because they are too excited, but because Jordan's name is too loud. Although Jordan is 39 years old this year, he is still the omnipotent "God of Basketball", and having Jordan is nba28

It is the dream of an owner, general manager, and head coach of a team (there are currently 29 teams in the NBA). However, in the past, Jordan belonged to the Bulls. After his second comeback last season, he voluntarily joined the Washington Wizards, which made all team owners excited.

sigh.

But now, Michael Jordan belongs to the Houston Rockets, belongs to the Houston Rockets. Think about how crazy the fans will be if they know that Michael Jordan has joined the Houston Rockets, how popular the tickets will be, and think about the shocked faces of those reporters, which makes this

Dawson, who has been criticized for some time, is excited.

"Michael, Michael, I never imagined that I would see you here!" Dawson greeted Jordan with an excited look on his face, and his steps were extremely brisk. At this moment, there is no better way to describe Dawson than to say that people are in high spirits during happy events.

But at this moment, another person came out of the car, with a head of colorful hair. Dawson was dazzled for a while, but after looking down on the person, his shocked mouth was enough to stuff a goose egg.

"Dennis Rodman!" Dawson pointed at the man with colorful hair and yelled out.

"Oh my God, my God, am I dazzled, or is today a lucky day for the Houston Rockets? So many legends are here." Dawson said a little lost.

Morey was shocked and speechless.

When he saw Billups, Dawson knew that the Rockets' future lineup had taken shape. When he saw Jordan again, Dawson was already crazy with joy. Finally when he saw Dennis Rodman, Dawson could no longer describe his mood at this moment in words.

The current Houston Rockets center has "Big Dream" Olajuwon. Although he is 39 years old and still injured, he still averaged 7.1 points, 6 rebounds, 1.48 steals, and 1.61 blocks last season.

.Although the data is far inferior to that of the peak period, the Houston Rockets now have this year's No. 1 pick Yao Ming at the center position. Olajuwon only needs to play about 15 minutes per game, and within 15 minutes, Olajuwon

Wang can fully exert 100% of his combat power. He does not need to reduce his "firepower" in order to preserve his physical strength like last season, and his data will be further improved.

For the center position, according to Dawson's estimation, Yao Ming and Olajuwon can average at least 25 points and 14 rebounds per game.

At the power forward position, there was originally only one rookie Boozer who was not very good in physical fitness. Dawson didn't understand why Lin Feng was optimistic about Boozer. In his eyes, Boozer's body was only average, his jumping speed was average, and his arms were weak.

He doesn't have a long stretch, and his lateral steps are also very slow. In this era where power forwards combine the flexibility of small forwards and the strength of centers, Boozer is really not good. But before, the Rockets did not have a power forward to choose from, and

Lin Feng was extremely optimistic personally, so they could only trust Lin Feng's vision and rely heavily on Boozer.

But now that Dennis Rodman has arrived, everything is different. Although Rodman is 41 years old this year, his body still maintains sufficient vitality, and at the age of 39, in the 99-00 season, he can still win

He scored 2.8 points and 14.3 rebounds. Although two years have passed, just looking at his current mental and muscle lines, you know that he can still grab rebounds.

At small forward, the Rockets are currently weak and no one can use it. But it doesn't matter. With the joining of Jordan, Rodman, Olajuwon, and the appeal of No. 1 pick Yao Ming, Dawson believes that he can find a good one in the summer.

Small forward. What's more, after trading away Francis, Mobley, and Cato, the Houston Rockets have plenty of salary space.

Needless to say, the shooting guard must be Jordan. Even though Jordan is 39 years old this year, he already scored 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 5.2 assists last season as a superstar. Judging from this data, any

No one knows that the person who obtained this data is already 39 years old.

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

As for the point guard, although the super star Francis is gone, Billups, who is generally underestimated by the industry, is here. Although the scoring ability has dropped slightly, his ball control and assists have gone up a level. Last season, he was

For the Timberwolves, Billups scored 12.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.

Although there is a huge gap between Billups and Francis from the data point of view, this data is only obtained by Billups in 22.6 minutes without being taken seriously by the Timberwolves. If Billups is given 35-

With 38 minutes of playing time and full trust in him, Dawson believes Billups can double his numbers.

And the biggest difference between Billups and Francis is that Billups has absolutely strong defense, abundant physical strength, no effort to defend, and absolute skills, which can make up for Jordan's age, reduced physical strength, and inability to recover.

The disadvantages of maintaining a high level of defense every game.

Although this lineup is not perfect, it is definitely strong enough! - Dawson clenches his fists. As long as a few more mid-level rotation players are added, it is by no means a dream for the Houston Rockets to reach the playoffs this year, and it can even be expected.

Better results. And after a year of running in, next year's draft year will see the addition of rookies. Next year will be the year when the Houston Rockets take off.

The cornerstone of the Rockets dynasty was once again laid.

"Well, Dawson, they will all be our Houston Rockets players from now on. They will work hard for the championship together and prove to the world that no matter how old they are, how many injuries they have, how undervalued they are, there is only one heart left."

With the heart of a champion, we can still win the championship again and even create a dynasty!" Lin Feng stretched out his right fist and pointed it at the sky.

Everyone also stretched out their right fists.

Jordan also showed perseverance on his face. He gave up all honors to come here, not for money, but to prove that although he is old, he can still win the championship. The new generation of 1996, although powerful, is not enough to win the championship.

They bowed their heads and surrendered.

Although I, Jordan, am old, I still have the heart of a champion! I can still dominate this court! - Jordan clenched his fists.
Chapter completed!
