The Godfather of Basketball
v1 Chapter 83: Find another way
Because of Yao Ming's existence, Tang Tian's previous thoughts were all on "how to launch an attack from Yao Ming".
But this accidental word by Thibodeau reminded him of some memories of the previous life.
In previous lives, the Spurs have good offensive and defensive capabilities, but there is not much to do with the historic Warriors.
It's not that the Warriors 'three-pointer exploded when they played the Spurs. In fact, the Spurs did a very good three-point limit on the Warriors. What really didn't help them was the Warriors' infinite air cut.
This Spurs team has excellent offense and defense, one of the strongest in history, but to say that their only weakness is probably older.
Infinite air cut may not win, but in addition to running more offensive opportunities, it can also allow the Spurs' Big Three to consume a lot of energy on the defensive end. After all, winning is not impossible.
"Tom, go and reconvene the coaching staff. I'll have a regular meeting."
"Now?" Sibodu looked puzzled, didn't he just have a regular meeting this morning?
"It is now." Tang Tian said, standing up.
Seeing that Tang Tian was not joking, Xibodu nodded, and immediately went out to convener.
After opening the regular meeting, Tang Tian followed up with the non-stop team members and talked about the new tactics of the coaching staff.
The next game will be two days later. At this time, the team will change its tactics for a season. The players felt that it was incredible after listening.
Xibodu saw the reaction of the team members and smiled helplessly, in fact, an hour ago, the coaching staff also reacted in this way.
It was Cole who seemed to be a little excited, and the assistant coach who had just been transferred from the commentary seat was particularly excited about new things.
"We have no choice." Tang Tian finally said.
The Rockets heard Tang Tian's words and knew that they could not win with previous tactics, and then they all accepted.
After all, Tang Tian has led them here, and trust has become their instinct.
For two days, it was difficult for the Rockets to master a new tactic immediately, but fortunately this tactic itself was not complicated, it was more a test of the team's physical strength and tacit understanding.
The good news is that the Rockets' tactics this season have allowed the players to have no problem with tacit understanding. After two days of training, although they are far from skilled, they have at least touched some of the roads.
The third game of the Rockets and Spurs series was played in Houston.
Although the score is behind, the enthusiasm of the Houston fans for the home team has not weakened at all, and even because of the backwardness, many Chinese fans who are far away from the ocean rushed to Hume City to cheer for the home team.
I think the difference between Americans and Americans is that the more backward Chinese fans are, the stronger the support for the team.
Not only the fans, but also the local Houston media, also carried out a lot of propaganda and pre-game.
"Aerospace City will never fail!"
"Desperate Counterattack, Jedi Survival!"
"The Rocket took off tonight, shoot down the Spurs!"
Uh ...
连 Even the Toyota Center Arena has also made various activities. As long as the team wins tonight, a hamburger will be distributed to each audience, and the audience can also take away the T-shirt on the spot as a memorial.
I can say that the entire Houston fans are doing their best to cheer for the home team.
在 At the same time, Chinese fans far away from the ocean gathered in front of the TV. Even if the entire United States has abandoned the Rockets, they will not give up their home team.
This day, Houston is crowded with people. As long as there is a broadcast screen, fans will gather.
"Guys, we have no way back. This is our last chance. I don't ask you to win this game, but my only requirement for you is to work hard and don't leave yourself sorry, understand?"
Tang Tian didn't have grand words, but this sentence spoke to the hearts of all the players.
Since the beginning of the season, they have not been optimistic. How many people they have faced along the way. Now it is hard to come to this day. Knowing that there is a gap in strength, the only thing they can do is to work hard as Tang Tian said Go all out without regrets.
"Rockets!"
Millsap shouted out his hand at this moment.
The Rockets players shouted and put their hands on top of each other.
"Victory!"
Everyone shouted, hysterical.
Tonight, the Toyota Center was very excited. The members of the Rockets just came out of the player channel, and they were shouted by the tsunami on the scene.
"Gentlemen and ladies, let me hear your biggest cheers, this is the Toyota Center, this is the Houston Rockets, let us welcome."
"The 25th point guard, Steve ~ Blake ~!"
"No. 31 small forward, Shawn ~ Shane Battier!"
"Power forward 4, Paul ~ Millsap!"
"No. 1 shooting guard, Tracy ~~~ McGrady !!!"
"No. 11 center, our Yao ~~~~~ Ming !!!"
With the host's increasingly introductory introduction ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The cheers of the fans on the spot are also getting louder and louder. By the time Yao Ming comes out, the entire stadium is already boiled.
的 Tonight's Toyota Center is destined to be a sleepless night.
I felt the momentum of the Toyota Center. Spurs coach Popovich called the team's three giants and whispered for a while. It can be seen that this pressure from the fans has made the old coach feel the pressure.
The Spurs starter has not changed.
The outside line is a combination of Parker and Old Finley, the front line is Bowen Gaobotto, and the starting center is Tim Duncan.
"Hey, Kenny, do you think the Rockets still have hope in this game?" At the commentary, Buckley turned to look at his partner Kenny Smith.
"It's difficult. Yao's system has an advantage for most teams. Only for the Spurs who are balanced on the inside and outside. They don't have many options. In fact, most teams in this year's Spurs have not used it Way. "Smith said slightly helplessly.
Although he didn't want to hit the high emotion at the scene, he didn't want to tell lies.
There was a boo at the scene.
"Well, maybe Yao and T-mac can both score 40 points, or the Rockets hit 20 three-pointers from outside, I think there is hope."
The boo on the scene was even worse, and there were even many curses from radical fans.
"Charles, be careful, I don't want to follow you in the commentary." Smith said with a laugh.
"Okay, okay, the Rockets have to change their style of play to win, but this is too demanding, let ’s not say whether there is another way of playing, even in such a short time, they are impossible. Do it, "Barkley said seriously.
