The Godfather of Basketball

Morey is a smart person, but he is also a small-minded person, which can be seen from the incident that forced Tang Tian away.

There is something to be said, and anyone can hear it.

Some players, referring to Artest, Dragic and the others, also specially added some people, naturally referring to Tang Tian.

It's like saying: "Look, I said, without you, we would have entered the finals and won the championship.

You, dispensable. "

Tang Tian didn't bother to respond to Morey's words.

If he's still in the Rockets, there's no need for Salmons.

But these words also aroused his fighting spirit.

What he likes to do the most is to use actions to fight until the opponent is defeated.

"The greatest strength of this Rockets team is also their greatest weakness."

During the regular meeting of the coaching staff, Tang Tian, ​​as the former head coach of the Rockets, began to build confidence in his coaching staff.

Including Casey, the teaching assistants all looked at Tang Tian curiously.

This is a statement that sounds contradictory.

"Yao and T-mac are very strong, so those who coach him will inadvertently overuse them. The more anxious the game, the more this is the case. I paid attention to this when I was in the Rockets, but sometimes it is inescapable."

"That's right." Cassel nodded. He was still in the finals between the Celtics and the Rockets two years ago, and he was deeply touched.

"So we still play a small lineup to consume their stamina. This may start the game, or we may fall behind in the first two games, but in the series, we will slowly gain the initiative." Tang Tian said this from experience, This is similar to the way the Rockets played against the Spurs before. The Spurs are old, and the Rockets rely too much on Yao Mai, especially Yao Mai coached by Thibodeau.

"This is the only way." Casey nodded in agreement. As a capable coach, Tang Tian's style of play focused on the entire series, which quickly resonated with him.

The other teaching assistants nodded one after another.

It takes a method to defeat the strong with the weak, and Tang Tian's method is well-founded and convincing.

In the following time, Tang Tian discussed the specific details of the tactics with the entire coaching staff.

Slowly, you can feel the confidence of the entire coaching staff building up.

"Guys, the NBA is a place where miracles happen, and we are only one step away from creating it." Before the meeting ended, Tang Tian said sincerely.

After he finished speaking, he could see a strong longing in Casey's eyes.

There are champions every year, but what can truly be called the champion of the weak over the strong, the NBA has only had the Rockets in the 1994-95 season in the past 20 years.

And they have been engraved in history forever.

Who wouldn't want to be next?

After two days of practice in Cleveland, the Cavaliers flew to Houston with the anticipation of small-town fans.

They will start their journey to the finals there.

When the finals kicked off, the annual prediction drama kicked off again.

Extremely similar to last year's finals, almost all media believe that the Rockets can make history and achieve four consecutive championships in the new century.

To paraphrase what Barkley said on the TNT program: "The only thing that can pose a threat to the Rockets is the Celtics, but they have been eliminated from the gate of the finals, the Cavaliers? I wonder if it is after the end of the season? Time to get Shaq to be my colleague? Man, he's still the Cavaliers' starting center!"

Eliminated the Magic, using ugly hacking tactics, eliminated the Celtics, relying on Glenn Davis's brain twitch.

Most people don't think this Cavaliers team is the strongest team in the East.

In ESPN's latest survey, among the 5,000 people who participated in the survey, 80% of people think the Rockets will eventually win.

Do you think the remaining 20% ​​think the Cavaliers will win?

No.

15% of them chose to abstain.

Only 5 percent think the Cavaliers have even the slightest chance.

And this opportunity did not come from James, but from Tang Tian.

Not entirely because of personal strength, but a kind of expectation.

The coach who was dumped by the Rockets now has a chance for revenge.

Revenge, an American favorite.

In other words, even fans, almost no one thinks the Cavaliers can win.

There was a lot of public opinion before the game, and the heat of the finals also heated up rapidly.

Tickets for the Toyota Center have long been hard to find, and the ratings of major TV media continue to rise.

On the evening of June 4th, the first game of the finals will finally officially start at the Toyota Center in the midst of much anticipation.

The game hadn't started yet, and the scene was already full of noise.

Tang Tian faced his team members in the locker room.

"This series will be the most difficult since we entered the playoffs. The opponents are very strong. They just won three consecutive championships. Their core Yao just won the regular season MVP for the third consecutive year. They also have T- mac, they can beat all opponents, including us.

In theory.

But what is this place?

This is the NBA!

Where miracles happen!

think about it!

Think about it!

When posterity fans, when our sons talk about it.

Once a few years ago, ten years ago.

There is such a team, half of them are veterans and half are rookies.

They are not liked by everyone.

They looked destined to be the team to be swept in the Finals.

But they last.

done!

They go out of their way!

They beat their opponents!

They won the championship!

What kind of experience was that? ! "

"Proud!" Tang Tian slapped his chest hard as he said.

"LeBron, tell me, are you hungry for a championship?" He said and turned to look at James.

James nodded. Although he has become the first player in the league, he has been in the league for 7 years and he has no championship so far.

"Then tell me, are you eager to win the championship by defeating the Rockets this year?" Tang Tian asked with a more serious tone.

"Hungry!" James also responded loudly.

"Yes! Hungry! Shaq, tell me, you're 37 years old, Charles said you're going to be his colleague soon, but now, tell me, are you hungry for this championship?"

"Hungry and thirsty!" O'Neill also nodded vigorously. His career has never been so underestimated, but it is also because he is underestimated that this makes him high-spirited.

"Wesley, Danny, tell me, you have a chance to hit the championship in your first year as a rookie, do you have a desire for a championship?"

"Hungry and thirsty!!" Matthews and Green's blood boiled with enthusiasm. Young people are like newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers!

"Yes, hungry, that's us!

everyone!

This series, for yourselves, and more for your sons and daughters, let us become a miracle and let us live forever in NBA history!

Cavaliers! superior! superior! "

Following Tang Tian's shout, the Cavaliers shouted, like the 300 warriors of Sparta, and rushed out of the locker room.
