The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 154: Such Rockets (five / five!)

phone-reading

NBA games are not pure paperboard strength, but each game has a winner.

The Rockets' bench is obviously the biggest winner of the two teams.

After the time-out, the Lakers replaced Kobe over there.

Kobe still feels the same after he re-enters the court, but a strong offense cannot change the team's defensive end. Kobe topped McGrady, but the other points of the Lakers were a bit miserable.

Gasol was even tougher than his brother in the paint. After Sun Yue expanded the space, Scola also used the cool Argentine footsteps to frequently play Odom, but poor Odang Dang has not stopped for a minute now. Physical weakness is caused by monkeys.

The two teams scored alternately, and the score was deadlocked for a while.

This situation is obviously what Tang Tian wants to see.

In the last game, in addition to Kobe's outstanding performance in the last game, Yao Ming and Billups spent too much energy in the first three quarters. Now the bench is deadlocked and the main players are fully rested. The later the game is more favorable.

Sure enough, in the second half, Bryant forced the third quarter, and in the beginning of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson did not dare let him play again, and Odom and Gasol also spent a lot of energy because of continued playing, The Rockets' bench group took the opportunity to open the score.

At the final decisive moment, the Rockets held a 10-point lead and had plenty of physical strength, while the Lakers went from Kobe to Gasol to Odom, all running breathlessly without two steps, the game did not finish The winner has been divided.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Lakers 112-96 and won the second game of the series, bringing the total score of the series to 1: 1.

Bryant scored 42 points in the game, but to no avail, the Rockets had 37 points for McGrady, Yao Ming scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. The team's six players scored in double figures.

At the press conference after the game, Phil Jackson left without a word.

It is not terrible to lose, it is terrible to be caught by opponents. If you cannot find a way to deal with it in the next game, the Hornets who were eliminated by the Rockets in the previous round are a lesson.

After the game, the Rockets players yelled excitedly in the locker room, especially McGrady. After playing hi, they started dancing in the locker room. Tang Tian looked at the door straight for a while. Shake his head.

Back to the coach's office with a smile, Tang Tian then took out the big list of the national team and looked up.

Phil Jackson is not Popovich. He is not a coach who is good at adjusting. From the performance of his entire career, the biggest adjustment is probably to increase the number of minutes played.

Although the Olympic Games is in August, it is also imminent. He must put things on the table while he has time.

Center: Yao Ming.

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizheng, Li Xiaoxu, Zhang Kai.

Small forwards: Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Wang Lei, Du Feng, Xu Yong, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinhui.

Shooting guards: Wang Shipeng, Zhang Qingpeng.

Point guards: Liu Xiaoyu, Chen Jianghua, Liu Wei, Sun Yue.

The list on hand was released as early as March, and the people on the list also started training one after another in March.

Looking at this familiar list, Tang Tian shook his head helplessly.

Although Sun Yue has made great progress in the Rockets, Yao Ming has also developed all response capabilities, but this lineup does not have a special system, and it is a bit reluctant to break through the top eight.

Moreover, Yao Ming has no substitute at all for this large list. He remembers the scene of Yao Ming's collapse in the Olympic Games.

After watching for a while, Tang Tian had no thoughts for a while and then dropped the list.

Earlier, he asked Xi Bodu to give Li Yuanwei the training plan, which mainly included Cole's three-point training method, hoping that it would have some effect in the past two months.

Putting the list aside, Tang Tian got up and left the office.

The next game will be played at Staples Center, and just two days later, he has to go back and pack his personal belongings.

Passing through the locker room, I noticed that there were still a few players who didn't leave. They were whispering something, and they couldn't hear it clearly.

Tang Tian frowned.

Last season, the team went well before the Western Conference finals, but in the end, McGrady and Alston stole the bar. Is this season still coming?

He stood at the door for a while and saw McGrady, Sun Yue, Gasol, and Scola, all of whom are rotating players.

When the players were about to come out, he walked down the aisle behind him.

The players shouted and went out, looking very excited.

After keeping a distance behind, followed the players out of the arena, and then looked at the direction they were going, Tang Tian for a while.

They went to the training hall!

The drop is a description of a person's emotional change from joy to sadness. Tang Tian was just the opposite at this time.

"Don't just practice more ~ ​​www.readwn.com ~ so excited." Tang Tian shook his head, but his heart was happy, and he went away with a smile.

A loud muffled sound came from the training hall, and the group's extra training began.

The Western Conference finals are hot, but the Eastern Conference is just starting now. The Celtics played seven games against the Hawks in the first round, and the second round and the Cavaliers had a tiebreaker.

Everyone seemed to think they had watched a fake Eastern Conference playoffs, and the Celtics playoffs seemed far weaker than expected.

Two days later, just before the Celtics and Pistons opened the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Rockets flew to Los Angeles, where they ushered in a third game with the Lakers.

The Zijin Army has the most glorious history in the league. The 14 championship flags are hung above the stadium. This is the biggest incentive for fans and players who play for the team.

That night, Staples Center was full, and the team ’s number one fan actress, Jack Nicholson, chose a red tie and wanted to make a good start for the Lakers at home.

As soon as the two teams started the game, they fell into anxiety.

Kobe continued the excellent feel of the previous game, and the Rockets' McGrady was also tit-for-tat.

The two teams played a quick quarter and scored 30 draws.

Both sides have entered rotations, and at this time the Lakers have made changes in rotation.

Sure enough, as Tang Tian guessed, the biggest change came from the playing time of the main force.

Kobe, Gasol and Odom all stay on the court, only the role players like Fisher and Radmanovic were replaced.

This is also the consistent urine of Phil Jackson.

In contrast, on the Rockets side, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming were replaced early by Tang Tian and rested. This time, Billups was playing with a group of substitutes.
