The Godfather of Basketball
v2 Chapter 216: Public enemy
At the beginning of the second quarter, the lineups of both sides have not changed, and the situation on the court has also stalled.
Pietrus didn't make a three-pointer, and Bowie's three-pointer ended in iron.
Sun Yue's steals and fast layups scored, Davis also grabbed offensive rebounds and added rebounds to score.
Landry hit a large three-pointer from the outside, House didn't make a three-pointer, and Sun Yue made an layup and hit again.
The Rockets had a slight advantage in the bench. Reeves responded quickly and replaced all the main players.
The Rockets were forced to follow suit, and the Celtics seized the Rockets' No. 4 disadvantage to stay defensive. The scene was always dominated.
In the end, relying on Garnett's excellent performance of 26 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, the Celtics defeated the Rockets 110-103 in the first regular-season game between the two sides, and reported last year's finals. hatred.
The Rockets' six-game winning streak also came to an abrupt end.
At the press conference after the game, Celtics general manager Angie and head coach Reeves were both proud of the spring breeze. In the new season, their trio combination finally has the hope of impacting the championship.
"A perfect victory, the team pressed the defending champion from start to finish. Coach Doug, can you share with us the game experience?" A reporter from San Antonio asked during the interview.
The Spurs will play the Rockets next game. This reporter, who happened to be in Boston, learned from the field.
Reeves didn't immediately speak, but turned to look at Angie.
"Of course, coach Doug." Angie gestured with a smile.
Seeing Angie's attitude, Reeves didn't hesitate anymore, jokingly: "Yes, everyone wants to beat the Rockets, doesn't it?"
As he spoke, the reporters on the stage immediately laughed.
Sitting underneath are not just reporters in Boston.
"I have been in the league for some years. I have witnessed three consecutive championships in Los Angeles. I know how difficult it is in the third year. The biggest problem for the Rockets this year is actually obvious. After losing Millsap, they lost. The number four's perimeter shooting ability and one-on-one defense ability, so their number four in the new season is a breakthrough point. "
Reeves was quite sharp at the sight of it.
The following reporters nodded again and again, when they watched the game, they felt the Rockets' defensive problem.
"Moreover, the Rockets' salary space has been locked up. Their existing salary cap can not find better players in the market than Scola." Angie added a smile at this time.
The reporters nodded suddenly.
The Rockets' No. 4 problem cannot be solved. As long as they stay healthy, the Celtics will naturally benefit the most.
The same is true for other teams. The Rockets with two consecutive championships are naturally weaker and weaker.
In other words, the Rockets, who aim to establish the dynasty in three consecutive championships, are now real public enemies.
After a two-day break in Boston, the Rockets then flew to San Antonio.
The two sides had played once in the preseason before, and the Rockets lost the game because of poor morale.
This time the Rockets regained their morale. The first half was anti-visit, and the Spurs were beaten. At the end of the half, they led the opponent 48 to 40.
The game format was great, but in the second half the situation changed suddenly.
The Spurs suddenly adjusted their strategy and began to focus on the offensive No. 4.
Scola had just faced Garnett, and he turned around and hit Duncan again, and his life was not very good.
In the end, Scola was blasted by Garnett and was again Duncan's turn.
"Stone Buddha" scored a season-high 39 points and 14 rebounds, leading the Spurs to a 107-101 victory over the Rockets.
At the press conference after the game, the old man Bo Pović exchanged.
"Reeves gave me advice, and I used it."
The cold humor of the old man caused a laugh from reporters, but it was true.
In fact, it's not just the opponents, but the league seems to be bothering the Rockets.
Back-to-back game, head Spurs, then Mavericks.
The game with the Spurs has just ended. The Rockets rushed to Dallas and the Mavericks played back-to-back.
As a result, Nowitzki scored 42 points and led the Mavericks to a 107-105 victory over the Rockets.
Scola's expression was extremely depressed after the game. He felt gang raped ...
The three-game losing streak completely exposed the Rockets' weakness.
Even sports media talked about the Rockets' current situation.
"The worst decision the Rockets made in the summer was to let go of Millsap, and it turned out that by letting him go, they were letting go of their three consecutive championships." Barkley said bluntly in the show.
His remarks have also been echoed by many media people. Although a series of six-game winning streak has caused them to be beaten with a photon, it turns out that the three consecutive championships are as difficult as ever, and the Rockets are obviously not ready.
After the game with the Mavericks, the Rockets ushered in a two-day break.
The Rockets coaching staff was a little anxious. The problem of the fourth position was unavoidable. Angie's words were also sharp, leaving the Rockets with little room for adjustment.
However, Tang Tian's mood is relatively stable.
After two consecutive championships, the Rockets are like paramecium under the microscope, and any part is under the magnifying glass.
Whenever there is a loophole, it will be targeted by the other 29 teams in the league.
He is not unaware of the defensive issue at the fourth position, but he didn't expect Reeves to be so straightforward, and everything would come so early than planned.
After the day's training session, he called Landry into his office alone.
"Coach, you call me?" Landry didn't know why Tang Tian was looking for him. He was called to the office for the first time, and he was very embarrassed.
"Carr, he's been doing very well recently. Steve and I brag about your three-point improvement." Tang Tian smiled and motioned to Landry.
"Yes, it's all arranged by the coaching staff. I just train hard and play hard." Landry scratched his head.
Tang Tian nodded, Landry was not very talented, but the continuous hard work left him a deep impression.
"Don't be nervous, it's good news to call you today." Seeing Landry still standing, Tang Tian knew he was nervous and pointed to the chair with a smile.
Landry nodded after hearing it ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Then he came to his seat and sat down.
"I have a question for you." When Landry sat down, Tang Tian propped his hands on the table, smiling, and looked at Landry with a smile.
"What question? If I can answer, I must answer." Landry sat upright.
"Um." Tang Tian nodded, and then said, "Are you ready to become a player?"
"I ..." Landry's eyes widened and his face was incredible. "Player ?!"
The expression was like being stunned by a pie in the sky.
