Alston was born from playing streetball, and his discipline was almost normal, but he did not expect that McGrady would follow suit.

And it wasn't the incident itself that really made him so angry, but that McGrady lied to him!

Seeing Tang Tian's great response, Xibodu suddenly regretted telling the truth.

"嘚 嘚 ~"

Just then, the office door was knocked again.

"Who ?!" Tang Tian tried to control the anger, but couldn't hide the anger between the words.

Quiet outside for a while, then McGrady's voice came: "It's me, Tracy."

I heard it was Maddie, Tang Tian's expression was a shock, and Xibodu was even more shocked.

麦 This is not the time for Maddie!

Tang Tian suppressed the anger and reached out to signal Xibodu to go out first.

"Come in."

Meddy opened the door and was a little surprised to see Thibodeau inside, but said nothing.

When Xi Bodu left, Maddie sat in front of Tang Tian, ​​put her hands on the table, and lowered her head for a long time without talking.

"Is there anything wrong?" Tang Tian said quietly as possible.

"Sorry, coach, I lied to you before." McGrady looked up and said in a husky voice.

"What do you mean?" Tang Tian heard this, and his anger was relieved a lot. McDicken came to take the initiative to admit his mistake, which showed that he still had this coach in his heart.

"Not my cat. Yesterday, I went to the bar with Raf. We originally wanted to relax and didn't expect to drink too much. We didn't come back until the next day. I didn't want to do this. We were in Salt Lake City last time. It's okay, I thought ... I'm sorry, coach, it's my fault that the responsibility for losing in this game lies with me. "McGrady was frustrated.

Tangtian frowned. He did not expect that McGrady had even been out in Salt Lake City before. It seemed that he was still assured of his team members.

"You can realize the mistake, it's not too late."

谢谢 "Thank you, coach." McGrady was relieved.

但是 "But it is true that you and Raf violated the rules of the team, so I will punish you after returning to Houston."

"Yes, I will accept any punishment."

Tangtian nodded, and then motioned to McGrady first.

I looked at McGrady's back, Tang Tian thought for a long time, and finally made a decision.

回到 returned to Houston with a 3-1 score, Tang Tian found the team's general manager Dawson and owner Alexander on the first day after returning, and immediately convened the coaching team for an internal meeting the next day.

在 After the meeting, Tang Tian called the team to announce the penalty results: McGrady and Alstom will be punished for banning one match in the team for violating the team rules.

"This is a warning. If there is a player violation, I will not use him in the next game, no matter who he is, understand?" Tang Tian said politely.

The team members looked at each other, because of their age, they were more like brothers when they got along with Tang Tian, ​​but this time, after seeing Tang Tian's iron-handed approach, they gradually remembered that this person was younger than them Be their head coach.

As soon as the Rockets' punishment came out, it immediately caused a stir.

McGrady is one of the Rockets 'dual cores, and Alstom is the team's sixth man. If the two are suspended, the Rockets' strength will be greatly affected.

"This is a decision to take risks. No matter what they do, you should not ban them. If you lose another game because of the ban, return to Golden State with a score of 2 to 3, then the series will come. The outcome is really unpredictable. "TNT host Kenny Smith sincerely suggested in the show.

It's not just the media. Even Houston fans can't understand the Rockets' decision. This is simply a victory.

But the Rockets officially insisted on this decision. Whether it was the general manager Dawson or the team owner Alexander, in the face of the media, they expressed support for the team's decision.

The happiest of all at this time is the Warriors players and fans.

This is a golden opportunity for them.

"Win this game, bring it back to Golden State, and let's make another history." This is the front page news of the Oakland (Golden State) Sports News.

After defeating the Mavericks and creating a "Black Eight" history, they look forward to this Golden State bandit being able to become the first team to make a 0-3 turn in history.

With such hope, the Warriors took the plane to Houston with confidence.

They are very confident.

"If we can't win without the McGrady and Alstom Rockets, then what are we?" Barron Davis said.

On the night of the match day, the Toyota Center was still crowded. Despite the dissatisfaction with the team's decision to ban McGrady and Alstom, the fans' enthusiasm for the home team's support was not small.

"4: 1", "Beat Auckland", "End the battle tonight" ...

The sign held by the fans still shows the confidence of the city ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Although suspended, McGrady and Alstom still appeared on the Rockets' bench, their emotions look Not as frustrated as outside speculation, on the contrary, they are still interacting seriously with their teammates before the game.

I can faintly feel that the impact of this team's penalties on the Rockets may be slightly different from what the outside world has speculated.

After finishing warm-up before the game, the starting lineup of both sides will be released.

On the Rockets side, Hyde replaced McGrady, who was suspended, as the Rockets' starting No. 2 position. Other positions have not changed.

The Warriors also made some adjustments to the Rockets' suspension. They replaced Matt Barnes with the more attacking Monta Ellis. At this glance, it was known that the bombardment would be carried out. In the end.

"Tonight is definitely a difficult night for the Rockets. Without T-mac and Love, their offensive firepower is greatly affected. Although Yao still has absolute dominance on the offensive end, his physical strength has always been a big problem. It would be really difficult if no one came out to fill the missing 40-point score. "Before the game began, the commentary's Mark Jackson said.

"Yes, and this Rockets team that we can't ignore now has only 13 players and suspends two guards, which will make their guard line very tight." Reggie Miller followed.

"Perhaps we should focus on the coach of the Rockets, Tang Tian. I don't know what surprise he will bring us this time." Jackson said looking at the Rockets bench, Tang Tian sat calmly, It doesn't seem to worry about the team's performance at all.
