The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 12 Panagio's Crash

The game on the court continued, and Roy asked Rodriguez for the ball just after halftime.

At this critical moment, as the core of the team, he obviously hopes to stand up.

But as soon as he got the ball, Bynum and Barea strictly implemented Tang Tian's tactics and double-teamed him immediately.

Roy is indeed very strong, but in his rookie season, he was not strong enough to easily break through double teams.

Panagio felt that his breathing was a little stagnant. This Tang Tian had been double-teaming a rookie!

Roy wanted to try to force a breakthrough, but Bynum and Barea are both short speed guards, and his attempt ended in failure.

The attack time is gone, he can only distribute the ball to Rodriguez.

The same three-point gap, Rodriguez didn't throw the ball again, he directly took the ball and broke through.

With his sudden attack, the Rockets' interior defense quickly shrank. Although the combination of Hayes and Millsap was short in height, their speed was an advantage, and he quickly blocked his breakthrough route.

Rodriguez didn't have a chance to break through for a layup, and Webster on the outside was pressed tightly by Novak again.

Fortunately, as an international defender, he has a good sense of the field. After the Rockets' basket contracted, a lob was given to Aldridge on the right.

Roy has outstanding scoring ability, but you must know that Aldridge is the No. 2 pick this year, and his scoring ability is also explosive.

Aldridge steps inside the free-throw line to catch the ball, which is a very comfortable position.

When he saw Millsap returning to the defense, he directly chose to turn around and play back. This is his specialty and he scored many times in college.

But soon, he found something was wrong. Every time he singled out, Millsap pushed him out. He was completely at a disadvantage in the strength confrontation!

There was an uproar at the scene, and Aldridge seemed to be completely unmoved by Millsap!

Tang Tian was touching his nose on the sidelines.

In Aldridge's rookie period, confrontation was his biggest weakness, which is why the Bulls immediately traded him after they selected him.

Others may not know this, but he is very clear.

After a set of backs, he was pushed to the free throw line abruptly.

In the end, there was no way, he chose to turn around and jump back.

But the moment he turned around.

"Snapped!"

Millsap used his long arms and early predictions to break the ball!

There was an uproar at the scene, the Trail Blazers made a mistake!

After Millsap steals the ball, he quickly pushes the fast break, and the two guards, Bynum and Barea, run fast from left to right.

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene. Although the guard is short, he can't stop the speed!

The Trail Blazers retreated obviously couldn't keep up, Millsap passed the ball to Barea, who broke through like lightning and scored a layup!

Panagio couldn't sit still anymore, he reached out and called a timeout.

There was an uncontrolled whistle and cheers at the scene.

After Tang Tian called a timeout, the Rockets played a 6-0 offensive! Directly stopped the Trail Blazers!

This kind of on-the-spot command ability, even in the NBA, I am afraid that few coaches can do it!

This time, the faces of those media were slapped.

Although the fans are happy to see a coach of yellow race being kicked out, they are also happy to see the media being slapped in the face.

After the timeout, the Blazers made adjustments and asked Roy to play off the ball. This move instantly broke the Rockets' double-team.

I'm running without the ball, so you can't double-team me again, right? If you use it, it's a local 4 on 3.

It can be seen that Panagio's on-the-spot adaptability is not bad.

However, this move had no effect at all, because Tang Tian seemed to have predicted this move a long time ago, and sent Barea to defend Roy without the ball all the time.

In terms of height and ability, Barea is no match for Roy, but in terms of speed, Barea wins.

Roy wanted to get rid of him, like trying to shake a piece of brown sugar, and he couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

When he was finally forced to stop the ball with his back against Barea to catch the ball, Bynum's double-team came over there again.

Everything is back to square one.

Seeing this scene, Panagio couldn't help but stretch out his hands to his forehead, this Tang Tian's coping ability is too abnormal.

As the game continued, the audience found that the seemingly strong Trail Blazers suddenly became unable to play.

Under Millsap's tough physical confrontation, Aldridge's shooting rate was not guaranteed at all.

Webster can only catch and shoot, and has no offensive ability with the ball at all.

Rodriguez's three-pointer was far-fetched and was wantonly emptied by the Rockets.

Roy, who is the only one who is capable, doesn't mean that the whole audience is double-teamed.

Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that every adjustment made by the Trail Blazers coach Panagio was seen by Tang Tian in advance, and then it didn't work at all.

At the end of the fight, Panagio kept looking down at the floor, completely broken.

At this time, there is no need for commentators and the media to say, they also know what made this happen.

Tang Tian's pause.

That timeout, leaving the Rockets behind 2 to 10, was reborn in an instant!

This yellow coach's judgment of the situation on the court, and even his understanding of the opponent, are at an extremely high level!

The Trail Blazers were never able to organize an effective counterattack, and the Rockets' offense was wave after wave.

This Blazers team is indeed as Tang Tian said, with an average defensive level.

Not only did Millsap play vigorously, but Novak also continued to play on the outside, hitting consecutive three-pointers.

In the end, relying on the performance of Millsap's 26 points and Novak's 5 three-pointers, the Rockets defeated the championship-winning Trail Blazers 88 to 73, ushering in a two-game winning streak in the summer league.

This wave of two consecutive victories instantly made the fans climax.

It was the domestic fans who exploded first. After the American media reported one after another biased reports against people of yellow race, they were already filled with righteous indignation, but they could only endure it until they knew the truth of the incident.

Now that Tang Tian slapped him in the face, they finally let out a breath of anger.

Following the explosion were the American Rockets fans. They had doubts before, but now, they can say that Tang Tian is an absolutely strong addition to their coaching staff for the new season.

Although the new season hasn't started yet, the combination of Van Gundy and Tang Tian has already made them start to have infinite reverie.
