The Godfather of Basketball

Boozer's pretentious action immediately attracted boos from the fans.

The camera showed Boozer, and Boozer had a smile on his face, and seemed to enjoy this feeling.

"Come on! Team Rocket!"

The emotions of the fans were further mobilized, calling loudly to cheer for the home team.

Rockets offense, Yao Ming holds the ball at the free throw line.

At this moment, Okur hit Yao Ming directly and secretly several times.

At the same time, the Jazz's defensive actions against players without the ball are also particularly large.

The league in 2006 emphasized confrontation, and the referee's penalty scale was far looser than it is now. The Jazz took advantage of this to make a fuss, constantly making small moves on the edge of the penalty scale.

The Rockets players were obviously a little uncomfortable on the court, running without the ball and failing to find opportunities.

Yao Ming was a little annoyed by Okur's top, so he turned around and beat him forcefully.

Kirilenko quickly shrank from the defensive end, and fiercely broke the ball away from Yao Ming.

This time there was a great suspicion of thugs, but the referee did not blow the whistle.

The Jazz launched a fast break. Deron made a fast break pass back to Fisher who followed up on the weak side. Fisher hit a three-pointer with his open hand.

There was an uproar at the scene.

The Jazz opened the game against the Rockets 5-0.

For the Rockets' offense, Yao Ming chose to pass the ball to McGrady ahead of time this time, and McGrady took a step back to get rid of it.

Kirilenko was very tight, and McGrady took advantage of a fake action to trick Kirilenko and made a foul.

"Snapped!"

Kirilenko's hand patted McGrady's elbow, but he stopped quickly after the pat.

The referee still didn't blow his whistle.

After this ball is shot, it is a non-stick.

The rebound was picked up by Boozer, and Battier reached out and fouled early.

At this time, McGrady complained to the referee with an unhappy face, but no matter what he said, the referee ignored it.

At this time, the scene shot was given to Tang Tian, ​​who was on the Rockets' bench.

Under the Jazz's high-pressure defense, the Rockets seemed a little helpless.

Tang Tian didn't move, and his expression didn't seem to change much.

"It seems that the situation of the Rockets is a bit similar to that of the Suns. In the playoffs when the defensive strength has increased sharply, the strength of the offensive end has been greatly reduced." Mike Breen, the commentator, said.

"Perhaps it was the rest in the second half of the game, which made the Rockets players seem a little uncomfortable." Mark Jackson on the side analyzed.

"It seems that Carlos' confidence in the interview before the game did not come out of thin air. The Jazz are obviously well prepared for this game, and coach Tang Tian seems to be a little unsure how to deal with it."

"Yes, maybe I should say something at this time, welcome to the NBA playoffs!" Jackson said loudly with a smile.

The Jazz's offense is still a pick-and-roll tactic. Boozer walked in after receiving the ball this time, squeezing Blake away with a one-handed dunk.

7 to 0!

After the dunk, Boozer looked very excited, waving his hands up to the audience, especially arrogant.

There were boos at the scene.

The Rockets called a timeout.

Tang Tian stood up from his seat.

The offense and defense of the Jazz are exactly the same as in the impression of the previous life. At the beginning, they relied on extreme defense and continuous pick-and-rolls to finally reverse the Rockets.

"Whoa, whoa~"

The Rockets players were panting heavily after leaving the field. Although they had only played a few rounds, the high-intensity confrontation exhausted their physical strength very quickly.

And a bigger problem than physical exertion is the anxiety on the players' faces.

The small actions of the Jazz made them very upset.

"Take a deep breath."

When the team members gathered around, Tang Tian didn't set up tactics immediately, but spoke first.

The players were all taken aback, and looked at their head coach in confusion.

"Take a deep breath." Tang Tian increased his volume.

Only then did the team members hear what he meant. Although they were puzzled, they all took a few deep breaths.

Seeing that the anxious expressions of the players eased a little, Tang Tian continued: "We swept the opponent 4-0 in the regular season. Believe in yourselves, we will win the game in the end."

Tang Tian's tone was calm, a little too calm compared to the noisy environment around him.

The team members were infected by his calmness, and the anxiety on their faces slowly disappeared, and they all nodded.

Only then did Tang pick up the tactics board.

"The difference between the Jazz and the regular season is that the pick-and-roll tactics have been simplified and the physical confrontation on the defensive end has been enhanced."

Sitting off the court, Tang Tian had a clear view of the situation on the court.

"The defensive strategy is fine, but you have to speed up the defense. Steve, the referee's penalty scale is very loose. If Boozer pulls to the high post after the opponent smashes the ball, you need to increase your defensive strength."

Blake nodded. As a third-year student, he still has a little grasp of the referee's standards.

"Sean, your defense needs to be fast. Kirilenko on the opposite side has basically no three-point shooting ability. If the Jazz distribute the ball, you will have time to return to defense."

Battier also nodded.

"On the offensive end, don't think about fouling the opponent. Run outside without the ball and pick and roll more firmly. As long as the outside is open, everything will go smoothly."

The Rockets members all nodded their heads. With the penalty scale very loose, it is indeed a bit disadvantageous to kill inside.

"Next round, Sean, you lie in ambush here, T-mac, you are here, Blake, you are here, Yao points the ball out and shoots if you have a chance, don't hesitate, Yao points the ball and immediately falls to the basket, if there is Take the offensive board directly and quickly, don't give the Jazz the opportunity to make small moves, understand?" Tang Tian said, drawing quickly on the tactical board.

"understand……"

"Okay, Team Rocket." Tang Tian stretched out his hand as he spoke.

"Come on!" The members of the Rockets put their hands on it one by one, and then shouted.

"beep~"

At this moment, the time for a pause just arrived.

"Oh~ The Rockets seem to be very motivated. I don't know what coach Tang Tian said during the timeout." Jackson said in surprise after seeing the 180-degree change in the emotions of the Rockets players. .

"Coach Tang Tian is really an amazing coach. I remember a media reported that during the summer league, the Rockets were at an absolute disadvantage, but after a timeout, the Rockets completely reversed the momentum. ’” Brin said.

"So amazing?" Jackson was very surprised.

"Yes, but whether that report is true or not, we will know soon." Brin said, turning his eyes back to the game.

Back from the timeout, players from both sides appeared on the field again.
