I completed 90%, and the remaining 10% is also critical.

Tang Tian was not in a hurry, let Swift do it step by step, waiting for the album to come out naturally.

When he was done with the record company, he flew back to Houston.

The Rockets will face the hard-hitting Mavericks a day later. He had to say before because of the delay in the proposal of TNT.

This is a day-long meeting of the coaching staff. The subject of discussion is naturally how to deal with the Mavericks.

Although it has been a season since the last two teams played in the playoffs, the two teams in Texas are not in a bad mood.

"The Mavericks have a very balanced offense and defense this season. Nowitzki is also in a hot state. The most important thing is that they have found a way to win. Like us, we have a five-game winning streak. "Tom, you speak first." Van Gundy said.

This is the plenary session of the coaching staff. Dawson is not here. Van Gundy is the most powerful person.

"The key to defending the Mavericks is how to limit Nowitzki. His basket, back, and shooting are all headaches for us." Xibodu was named and said.

Several other teaching assistants nodded after listening. Nowitzki lost the playoffs last time, and Nowitzki is a difficult problem.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Van Gundy then asked.

"How's the double?"

"Nowitzki's points are also timely. The Mavericks' perimeter points, Terry, Josh Howard, Stankhaus, they can also kill the game."

"What then? No one can restrict him in a one-to-one manner."

Other teaching assistants discussed for a while, but there was still no good way.

Van Gundy finally looked at Tang Tian. The key to playing Mavericks was how to defend Nowitzki, mainly on the defensive end. He didn't want to ask Tang Tian, ​​but Tang Tian was the first assistant coach after all.

"Don, what do you think?"

"When we are thinking about how to defend Nowitzki, the Mavericks are also thinking about how to limit Yao and T-mac." Tang Tian said.

This sentence did not answer Van Gundy positively, but everyone else, including Thibodeau, nodded thoughtfully after listening.

Nowitzki is very strong, but Yao Ming and McGrady are not weak, especially after using a new offensive system this season.

所以 "So I think the main problem with the Mavericks is not defense or offense, but our rotation." Tang Tian raised the question he wanted to say before.

"Rotate?" Everyone was puzzled, as was Van Gundy. He originally thought that Tang Tian would take advantage of the attack to be the key.

"Yes, our defensive system is relatively mature, and our offensive system is becoming more and more perfect, but our current rotation is difficult to compete with the Mavericks' bench. Stankhaus, Devon George, they can go to the end of the first quarter. It knocked us off at the beginning of the second quarter. "

"This is indeed a problem. Once these games are down, once Yao ends, our offensive efficiency is very low, and we always feel that our current rotation is missing something." Xibodu agreed.

"Lack of experience and vitality." Tang Tian answered.

"There are two key points on the bench, impact and stability. When we are behind, we need the bench to shock and grab points. When we are ahead, we need the bench to control the situation and stabilize the difference. We Not only are the impacts limited, the stability is also bad. "

After listening to Tang Tian's remarks, the other teaching assistants nodded consciously.

The main rotations now are Mutombo, Hyde, Wells, Millsap. Although Mutombo is old and strong, it is obviously unrealistic to have impact. Hyde and Millsap are very immature and have little experience. As for Wales, who has high expectations, the state and last year's Kings were two different.

Tang Tian's words did indeed come to an idea.

Van Gundy frowned. Tang Tian and Xibodu sang together, he had a feeling of being suspended.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Van Gundy said with a grimace.

Tang Tian knows that he will be unhappy to make this suggestion, but he has had some luck before winning the Heat. If he wants the Rockets to continue to win, he must mention it.

"Putting Paul (Millsap) to the starting lineup and having Juwan (Howard) go off the bench will increase the vitality and defensive intensity of the starting lineup, as well as increase the experience of the backup lineup. .uukanshu.com Zhu Wan can also play more efficiently. "

"Kick Bunche (Wells) out of the rotation and give his time to Steve (Novak), or Vasris (Spanorris), Steve's three-pointer and Vasris Organizational skills can help the team, but their defense is a problem and needs to control playing time. "

"In the face of a fast opponent like the Mavericks or Warriors, Chuck (Hayes) can replace Dikembe (Mutombo) into the rotation."

Tang Tian spit out the proposal he had previously thought about in one breath.

Every adjustment is justified, and the new rotation lineup has both impact and stability.

"I think Tang's proposal can be tried." Xibodu said after listening, and played with Tang Tian in the summer league. After witnessing Tang Tian's magic in the last game, his thoughts changed a little bit. .

The other assistants nodded.

But Van Gundy's eyes widened.

Not only because it makes a big difference in the rotation, but in his opinion, it is terrible.

Millsap is a rookie, how could he be a competent starter? As for Novak and Spinnorris, two players who will not defend at all, he will never let them enter the rotation, and Hayes, unless Yao Ming is injured and needs someone to replace, he still believes in defensive ability And the experience is even better Mutombo.

"No, this adjustment hurts the team's defense too much." Van Gundy said directly.

Tang Tian a moment, this is already the most favorable adjustment he has made based on the existing lineup, but I did not expect that Van Gundy is this attitude.

It seems that the assistant coach is not happy, and it is still comfortable when he is the head coach in the summer league.
