The Godfather of Basketball

Tang Tian nodded in satisfaction at this moment.

This is a bit like the Lightning Barea in the previous life.

If NBA players want to be in the league, they must at least have a skill.

Speed ​​is Barea's specialty.

Comparing ability, experience, and even confrontation, Barea and Iverson are not at the same level at all.

But speed and aggressiveness can make up for a lot of things.

Such a player is destined not to become a star, but he can become a surprise soldier in an instant.

Thibodeau and Cole looked at Tang Tian in astonishment at this time. Barea's behavior was completely different, and Tang Tian was really amazing.

Barea made two free throws and scored his fourth career point.

Carl couldn't sit still over there. He replaced Iverson in advance. He originally wanted to use his fiery touch to widen the point difference. Now it's good, but the Rockets are showing momentum.

He hurriedly replaced all the main players on the field.

Tang Tian saw Carl's substitution, and then replaced all the main players on the field at once.

With this lineup, the Rockets did not have an advantage in the first quarter.

But now, after being yelled at by Tang Tian, ​​Barea is sticking to Iverson at full speed as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Although it is impossible to completely limit Iverson, after Iverson's performance was not so hot, the Rockets opened up the point difference a little bit.

When the two sides played in the second half of the third quarter, the Rockets had already led the Nuggets by 15 points 86 to 71.

"I don't know what happened in the second quarter. It seems that coach Tang Tian said something to Barea. Although I still don't know what he said, but it successfully aroused Barea's fighting spirit. It changed the direction of the game." After watching Barea's performance before and after, Breen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Yes, I didn't expect Coach Tang Tian to have the ability to train players. He really surprised us again and again. It seems that the Rockets are expected to end their three-game losing streak at home tonight." Jackson echoed.

The commentator's wind direction is always the fastest to turn, and the Rockets successfully dispelled their doubts with their performance.

At the end of the third quarter, both sides replaced the substitutes one after another.

The Rockets' bench group also stabilized the point difference, and the game looked like it would end there.

But unexpectedly, two minutes into the fourth quarter, the Nuggets were still behind by 15 points. Karl replaced all the main players, and it seemed that they were still unwilling to admit defeat.

Tang Tian didn't know what kind of medicine Karl was selling in this gourd, but the opponent was also a coach at the level of a thousand wins, so he didn't take it lightly, and also replaced the main force on the field.

The Rockets' offense, Barea held the ball and pushed forward. At this moment, Iverson suddenly rushed to the frontcourt and began to press.

Iverson's defensive ability has always been underestimated, not only because he dominates the steal list all the year round, but in fact his pressing ability is top-notch in the league.

Barea was fast, but his level of ball control was only at the league average level. He was pressed several times by Iverson.

"beep!"

The sideline referee whistled and blew the Rockets an 8-second cutoff violation.

Tang Tian stood up from his seat at once.

He turned his head and looked at Carl who was standing on the other side. Sure enough, Jiang was still old and hot. Although it was a bit late, the old coach still discovered the biggest weakness of the Rockets.

Anthony scored a turnaround here, and Iverson forced Barea to make a pass error and was scored by Smith for a layup.

The difference of 15 points turned into 11 points in a blink of an eye.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

"The Rockets are in trouble now." Brin said when he saw this, but his expression was excited. This game is no longer just a competition between players on the court, but it has become Tang Tian and Karl. The famous coaches are fighting wits and courage off the field.

"Is there anything else Don can do? Or is he going to play Blake?" Jackson said, looking at the Rockets' bench.

"Coach, it's my fault." Barea said after the game.

"No, it's none of your business, Steve, you're ready to play."

Sure enough, Tang Tian pointed to Blake who was still wearing training clothes and said.

Blake was ready a long time ago, and when he heard Tang Tian's words, he quickly took off his training clothes.

"Let's not worry, Steve went up and pushed the ball across the half court, T-mac, you respond in the backcourt, we still lead by 11 points, we have worked hard for more than three quarters, the victory in hand cannot be given to opponent."

Tang Tian first said a word to stabilize the mood of the players, and then took out the tactics board to lay out detailed offensive tactics.

After the timeout came back, the fans cheered. They waited for the whole game, and it seemed that they finally saw Blake's appearance at the last moment.

Blake's strength can only be considered medium in the league, but the fans are obviously more interested in new things, especially in the current situation, and there is a feeling of being ordered in a crisis.

The Rockets' offense, Blake advances with the ball.

Iverson still came up to press.

It can be clearly felt that Blake's ball-handling skills are much better than Barea's.

However, Iverson's pressing ability is really strong, and he almost steals the ball several times in a row. Blake finally dribbled the ball across the half with a slight stagger.

This consumed nearly 8 seconds of the Rockets' attack time.

Blake directly reached out to make a tactical gesture. Millsap raised the three-point line to do a pick-and-roll. After he dribbled the ball, he only glanced at it, then flicked his hand and gave the ball to Yao Ming.

The fans at the scene felt their eyes brightened, the speed of the ball was so fast.

Like Barea, Blake is not the kind of player who can be a core player, but he has the same skills as Barea, that is, organization and three-pointers.

Organization, not only refers to assists, fast ball speed, timely passing, and even wide vision are all included in it.

After Yao Ming got the ball, the Rockets quickly launched an off-ball pick-and-roll. Although it was said that some time was wasted in the half, after organizing this time, there was still enough time.

The Nuggets did not double-team the ball, and Yao Ming directly ate Camby, causing the latter's thugs to foul.

Martin on the side jumped up trying to block the shot, but when he fell, he stepped on the foot of his teammate Camby and fell to the ground with a painful expression.

In the end, the sideline team doctor put him on a stretcher and carried him directly out of the field.

After this accident, Yao Ming made two free throws, and the Rockets finally scored.

The Nuggets' offense, Anthony made another strong attack, and the Nuggets still clung to the score, retaining the hope of winning.

The Rockets' offense, as soon as Blake got the ball, Iverson forced him up.

Tang Tian's arrangement worked at this time. Blake turned around and quickly played the ball, and the ball was in McGrady's hands in a blink of an eye.

Blake didn't stop after the ball was out, he ran forward quickly, then received a pass from McGrady, turned one hand and dribbled to the frontcourt.

Iverson's press was self-defeating.

Seeing the changes on the court, while admiring Tang Tian's ability, Brin couldn't help but sigh: "Alston's absence makes the Rockets' point guard look like they've upgraded."
