The Godfather of Basketball
v1 Chapter 78: Really angry
Because of the two-day match, Tang Tian only arranged one day of training. During the day of the next game day, he gave the players a holiday.
When the team members appeared in the locker room in the afternoon, he noticed that McGrady was not awake.
"T-mac?" Tang Tian said looking at McGrady.
"Coach." McGrady looked up.
"Are you OK?"
"It's okay, my cat was in the middle of the night last night." Maddie said for a moment.
"If you are sleepy, go to sleep now."
"It's okay, it won't affect." McGrady waved.
Tang Tian nodded in doubt, then began to pick up the tactical board and team members to arrange the night tactics.
Twenty-three defeats put the Warriors in a desperate situation like the original Jazz.
However, unlike the Jazz, the patience of Golden State fans is mostly consumed with a big defeat. In addition, Golden State is the largest Chinese gathering place in the United States. In the final game of the two series, the stadium Influx of local Chinese fans.
These fans, wearing red rocket jerseys, held up the big head KT boards of Yao Ming and Tang Tian, and were particularly glaring in the arena.
球迷 The arrival of these fans also boosted the morale of the Rockets.
After the game started, Yao Ming was also excited to play, not only dominating the game on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.
Both sides opened the game for more than 5 minutes, the score on the field was 18-6, of which Yao Ming alone contributed 10 points, plus 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
The Warriors seem to be crashing faster than in the first three games.
I may be too excited, Yao Ming's physical strength is very fast.
Tang Tian replaced Yao Ming in advance, allowing McGrady to stay on the field to lead the team.
Yao Ming ended, but the Rockets' strategy has not changed, they are still playing inside, but the offensive players have been changed from Yao Ming to Millsap.
After a season of training, Millsap has improved greatly from the beginning of the season. He successfully scored in the first single against Jackson's defense.
Desperation fans watched for a while, the Warriors were going to be stabbed to death by the Rockets' two insiders.
A three-pointer from Richardson's outside line made the home team finally relieved.
Looking back, Millsap still played with the ball in the basket and Jackson fouled this time.
The old Nelson on the side of the field saw that the momentum was not right. With a big wave, Haroldton replaced Bidlings with a look, and it seemed to be ready to advance to the double team tactics.
Back to the ball, it is still the Rockets' right to play.
Blake then handed the ball to Millsap, Millsap played the ball back, and the Warriors really double-teamed.
Millsap's passing ability is not as good as Yao Ming, but this substitution by Old Nelson is too obvious. He first divided the ball to Hayes on the other side. Hayes attracted the defense and then divided Maddie. Tracy McGrady got a three-point outing.
"boom!"
It's a pity that McGrady's shot was short and the basketball came out of the basket.
The Warriors quickly counterattacked, Davis quickly broke the layup and scored after receiving the ball.
The Rockets didn't care too much, these points should be taken by the Warriors.
Tang Tian looked up at the scoring device at this time.
The Rockets' offense, the same tactics, after several passes, McGrady once again received the ball, but the difference is that the Warriors made faster defense this time, when McGrady took off, Ellington rushed in front of him One meter location.
McGrady was facing the defensive shot ... none of the frames were touched.
This turned out to be a non-stick!
I was cheering at the scene.
The Warriors pushed back, and Richardson's layup caused Blake's foul.
Tang Tian frowned at this time. It was not a good idea for McGrady's big ball in the previous goal to not be thrown. At present, it is abnormal for the defender to throw three non-sticks. It seems that he did not sleep well last night and affected him. Not small.
He pointed to Alstom and motioned for him to replace McGrady.
森 Richardson made two free throws, the point difference on the field has only 5 points left.
Rockets offense, Blake's three-pointer finally let the Rockets continue to score.
But looking back, Alston's dislocation made Davis successfully play 2 plus 1.
It's not enough. Looking back, Alstom made a low-level dribble error when he broke through, and the ball was directly taken off the field.
The Rockets called a timeout.
"What are you doing? Ah? Do you think you have won?" Tang Tian roared at these players for the first time. He didn't know what happened, but the team's status tonight is almost better than the season. It was even worse at first.
The puppet players all bowed their heads, and Tang Tian finally fell off the tactical board in anger.
This is a sign of anger, but it has not helped the team to restore the situation on the court.
Tracy McGrady and Alstom are too bad tonight. In the end, although Yao Ming still efficiently scored 32 points, the Rockets lost to the Warriors with a regret of 91-96, eating their first place in the playoffs. Defeated.
之后 After the game, Tang Weather directly rejected the reporter's interview.
He can accept the loss, but this inexplicable loss method makes him really difficult to accept.
After the roar of the teammates in the locker room, he was full of anger ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ sitting in the coach office and panting.
If it wasn't for restraint, he should now pull McGrady and Alstom to the office alone to train.
"嘚 嘚 ~"
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
Tang Tian took a deep breath.
"Who?"
"It's me, Tom." There was a voice from Thibodeau outside.
"come in."
Xibodu came in and saw Tang Tian's anger was gone. He turned around and closed the door.
"We just lost a game, you don't need to be too angry." Thibodeau said.
"No, this is a very bad signal. This group of guys think they have won, but this is the playoffs. Even if they can advance to the next round, how can they play against the Spurs and the Suns?" Tang Tian thinks more, which is why he has always been strict with the team. The strength of the Suns or Spurs is much stronger than the two opponents they encountered in the previous two rounds. The strength of this Rockets team, full strength The battle and they will be at most four or six.
"Yes, but maybe the next game will get better." Thibodeau hesitated.
I noticed Xibodu's expression, Tang Tian glanced at him in confusion, then turned his head, and vaguely guessed something.
"T-mac and Raf, went out last night?" Tang Tian then asked.
The team will not interfere with the private life of the players, but the coaching staff has assistant coaches who are responsible for collecting player information, because Tang Tian has too many things to deal with, this is where he first came to Xibodu.
"Yes." Thibodeau hesitated, but eventually nodded. "They went to the local bar last night and only came back the next morning."
"艹!" After Tang Tian heard it, he slammed the table suddenly.
