Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 185 The Drunk Strongman on the Basketball Court

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

Carr Sr. has left the Sonics, but the Seattle people still found Westphal, such a coach to take charge of the Sonics.

It stands to reason that the Sonics should still be one of the strongest teams in the West, but because of the depravity of one person, the overall decline of the Sonics was caused.

An away game against the Rockets, and the Rockets just lost, everyone is not optimistic about the prospects of the Supersonics.

Everyone thinks that the Rockets will definitely vent their grievances about losing to the Magic on the Supersonics, but there is one person who doesn't think so, and that is Wen Baker, the current main power forward of the Supersonics.

If it were last year, some people might think about it, but today's Wen? Baker said such a thing, more people thought that this kid said it after drinking too much.

But these words were really said after he drank too much. Before the start of the game against the Rockets, this kid even went to the nightclub to drink.You read that right, it's just drinking. Ordinary NBA players go to nightclubs to see if they can have some romantic encounters. This kid just drinks when he goes. If he doesn't get drunk, he won't come back.

Vin Baker was one of the biggest victims of the lockout in 99. When there was no game, the kid suffered from alcoholism. At first, the supersonic management and coaching staff thought it was just a small problem. As long as the league starts, as long as players like Vin Baker devote themselves to the league, everything will be fine.

However, they were wrong. This guy actually brought a flagon to train during training. As long as he exercises, his body will emit alcohol instead of sweat.

Long-term drinking has damaged Wen Baker's nervous system, and now Wen Baker is only 27 years old, and his reaction is slower than that of a 37-year-old man.

Seeing the depravity of Vin Baker, the fans, coaches and players of the Supersonics were very distressed, but they could do nothing about it, because this kind of thing is not up to them, it must be corrected by the parties themselves.

People can only watch the mountainous, unpretentious Wen Baker slowly decline.

On February 1999, 2, the Rockets played against the Supersonics at their home court. After the game started, the Supersonics once controlled the situation on the field. That Vin Baker, who had been doused with alcohol for a long time, finally sobered up today. Facing Garnett's defense, Vin Baker showed his peak strength, and Garnett succeeded in consecutive singles. At this time, Garnett completely became Vin Baker's side dish.

Seeing this situation, Lao Tang yelled at Garnett loudly: "Kevin, what did you do last night, you were beaten like this by a drunk, do you still want to play in the league? If you If you don’t want to fight, come down immediately, I think many people want to replace you.”

Lao Tang's roar stimulated Garnett and also stimulated Wen Baker.

When Vin Baker faced Garnett again, I heard Vin Baker say to Garnett: "Your coach's mouth is really stinky, does he know what is polite?"

Garnett's venomous tongue has almost been practiced in the past few years. With Mark Jackson beside him, and that bitch Kenny Smith who has nothing to do, he has come to help. Now Garnett's lethality can be described as huge.

Looking at Wen Baker who was showing off his poisonous tongue to him, Garnett smiled contemptuously, and then said to the increasingly obese Wen Baker: "I said alcoholic, don't you think what our coach said is right, a guy who only knows how to drink Humans are not worthy of playing such the highest level of competition. I suggest that you retire as soon as possible, and do what you should do with a pension. However, I will give you a suggestion, that is, before you receive your pension, you Quit drinking, or your pension will turn into whiskey and the like, all of which will be poured into your stomach, and then all of it will be spit out after passing through your esophagus and mouth. "

Hearing these words, Wen Baker's face had turned eggplant red. He was really furious. The furious Wen Baker let out a howl and hit his back with a heavy body. He turned around and dropped the basketball with one hand. He hit the basket hard.

However, what greeted him was the referee's whistle, an offensive foul, and looking at Garnett who was triumphantly lying on the ground, Vin Baker was already dazzled by his own blood, and shouted loudly at the referee who came up to signal his foul. Roared: "That eye of yours, saw me foul, where did I foul?"

Looking at Wen Baker with bloodshot eyes, the referee on duty, looking at Wen Baker who was already on the verge of berserk, I was still a little uneasy, but the quality of a referee was revealed at this time, looking at the opponent Wen Baker who yelled at himself, the referee stretched out his hand at that time and it was a technical foul.

Seeing Wen? Baker who wanted to say something, Payton jumped up and said: "Are you crazy, Baker, do you still want to play? Why are you yelling at the referee? Do you really want to sit down?" Are you looking at the score below?"

After speaking, he dragged Vin Baker off the bench like a dead dog, and was replaced by Westphal calmly.

At this time, the referee walked to Payton's side and said in a deep voice: "Gary, you'd better take care of your players. If he is still so restless, I don't mind letting him go through this game, and then in the next game." Calm down in the stands for a few games."

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

The referee looked at Payton's attitude and left with satisfaction.

Looking at the referee going away, Payton gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "This bastard, I really don't know what he thinks. If this continues, the Supersonics will be over. If he doesn't play well, This bastard must be taken away."

Not to mention what Payton is swearing by gritting his teeth.

At this time, the Rockets were full of laughter. Garnett was the player who was ravaged the most. Just after halfway through the first quarter, the main power forward of the Supersonics was replaced. This was unexpected by everyone. of.

Olajuwon patted Garnett's butt and said with a smile: "Good job, Kevin, that kid Baker should be taught a lesson. If that kid quits drinking, his career will end soon. .”

Garnett showed his snow-white teeth, looking at it made people feel a little chilly, and he heard Garnett say: "It's nothing, this is just what I should do, whether he quits drinking or not, the Supersonics want to compete in the Rockets' home court." To win a victory, you must come up with something, the Rockets are not a sloppy army that they can clean up as they want."

Olajuwon looked at the boy full of strong self-confidence in front of him, and smiled very gratified. With a team with such a leader and a group of capable players, the future of the Rockets is really bright.

The first quarter ended quickly, and the Sonics could only rely on Payton and the old man Schramf to keep the score from being pulled away.

Hawkins and Dale Ellis also supported the Sonics' inside line so that the Rockets had a 7-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

After a brief adjustment, the Rockets and the Supersonics started the second quarter.

Vin Baker, who had been calm for a long time off the field, played again, but faced with the strong defense of the Rockets, Vin Baker who played again began to struggle. In addition, his alcoholism also hurt Baker's physical fitness. After 8 minutes, Wen? Baker could only apply to end, because he was really too tired.

After losing Vin Baker's restraint, Garnett became more active on the court, lobbing with Bodi Roga and assisting Ray Allen's elegant dunk.

Blocking space for Horry on the outside and making long shots, Garnett showed his comprehensive talents.

The head coach of the Supersonics, Westphal, stood on the sidelines and compared Wen? Baker and Kevin? Garnett, shaking his head secretly in his heart, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

By the end of the second quarter, the Rockets had expanded the score to 11 points. If it weren't for Hawkins and Schramf's three-pointers, the Sonics would have died long ago.

During the halftime break, Lao Tang praised Garnett vigorously, and his face flushed when he was teased by his teammates.

After the start of the second half, Garnett vented all the depression in his locker room on his opponent, and the Rockets' strong attack power was clearly seen.

The offensive line with Garnett as the arrow ravaged the whole process of the third quarter. Garnett, who scored 16 points in a single quarter, let the Sonics know what a top power forward is.

Looking at the decadent Supersonics, Payton has lost confidence, and he doesn't know what else he can do.

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

When the bell rang at the end of the game, at 118:95, the Rockets used their actual actions to prove that the words of some people before the game were actually as smelly as the exhausted gas.

What is even more surprising is that after the game, Vin Baker actually took out a silver jug ​​from his travel bag, and took a sip. Although this action was not captured by the media, many caring people We all saw this scene.

Many people are lamenting that a hero of an era was destroyed by alcohol in this way, which makes many people sigh.

But the Rockets are more than that. At the press conference after the game, Olajuwon said calmly: The Rockets are not a team that anyone can beat, even Michael Jordan didn’t say who he wanted to beat. It's up to whoever wins, and it's a strong team like the Rockets. I guess the kid who said this must have drunk too much.

The reporter laughed lightly after hearing this sentence.

At the press conference, Westphal even praised the Rockets for being strong and excellent. In addition, his love for the player Garnett even told you publicly that he is very willing to coach Kevin? A player like Garnett.

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

In a cloud of chaos, the Rockets will also usher in their next opponent, the Atlanta Hawks.

The team led by the African mountain is not so easy to deal with.

　Ask for everything you can ask, thank you from the heavens.
