The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 35 - "Grace"



As for the Nets, Tang Tian is unfamiliar. This is the home team that previous Chinese player Yi Jianlian played. Although mixed, Yi Jianlian also reached the peak of his career here.

Before the game was about to start, Tang Tian came to the locker room, walked to Millsap, and said directly to him, “Paul, you will start in this game.”

Millsap was excited after hearing this. Although he had guessed it during training, he really said it from Tang Tian’s mouth, and that feeling was completely different.

Seeing Millsap’s response, Tang Tian nodded.

This is the effect he wants. A surprise, he can mobilize the players’ status in a short time.

As an interim head coach, he didn’t say much at this time, but patted Millsap’s shoulder, then left the locker room.

Millsap knew that this was the opportunity Tang Tian gave him, and watched Tang Tian’s back clenched his fists.

He will never let Tang Tian down!

其他 The other members of the Rockets all got up to congratulate, including veteran Uncle Huo.

Because of Tang Tian’s previous training and preparation, the team members were not surprised by the result, but gave them a chance to show off with Millsap.

Continental Arena, a stadium that can accommodate more than 18,000 people, is already full. There is a “flying man” Carter sitting in the town. The attendance rate of the team is only high or low. You must know that Carter saved the entire NBA ratings. rate.

There are also many Chinese in the shuttlecock stadium. They are all directed at Yao Ming.

It’s not just the arena, it’s far across the ocean, and the fans have once again gathered in front of the TV.

Yao Ming, Carter, these two names alone are enough to make them crazy.

I want to say that the biggest difference from the previous Rockets’ Heat is that this day is a working day in China, and many people come to watch the game from class or class.

比赛 After completing the pre-match warm-up and admission introduction, the game will begin immediately.

Tang Tian is an interim head coach at this time, his identity is different from before. Before the game started, he and the Nets coach Lawrence Frank shook hands in front of the technical platform, which was a face-to-face meeting.

Van Gundy’s incident has not been reported in the news. Frank was very surprised to shake hands with himself, but after the handshake, his face became a lot easier.

A young assistant coach, it looks like a relaxing and wonderful night tonight.

“Ding! Post a system mission to defeat the New Jersey Nets, reward: 1 honor point.”

After Xun completed the handshake, Tang Tian’s mind echoed a systematic prompt.

New missions have been released.

It seems that this game must be won.

The game will begin immediately, and the starting players of the two teams will appear one after another.

Tang Tianwen sat on the bench, but what he didn’t notice was that the Rockets general manager Dawson also came to the scene, but he was sitting in the middle of the auditorium.

The Rockets’ side is the same as before, except that Millsap replaced Juwan Howard at the start.

On the Nets side, Kidd and Carter are on the back line, Richard Jefferson is the starting small forward, and Jason Collins and Leonard Kostic are both over 2.10 meters inside. Double height combination.

“Beep!”

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

Yao Ming drew the ball back to the half court from Collins, and the Rockets got the chance to lead the attack.

The same tactic was still Yao Ming holding the ball at the free throw line, Millsap retreated to the high post after covering McGrady.

The Nets defense was pinned down by McGrady, and Yao Ming threw the ball directly to Millsap.

Millsap catches the ball and shoots directly.

“boom!”

球 This ball is a bit too strong, the basketball hit the frame, and Kostic grabbed the rebound.

The offense of the Nets and the contracted defense arranged by Tang Tian did not give Carter and Jefferson a good chance. After Kidd motioned to open up the space, he then passed the ball to Kostic and let him sit in the low post Beat Millsap with his back.

Millsap was shot twice after stealing, Kostic turned around to the basket and scored.

“The Rockets are too bad to use this rookie. They can’t attack or defend. It seems that they can’t adapt to the intensity of the game at all.” At the commentary, commentator Matt Scott from ESPN laughed.

“Yes, I don’t know if the Rockets’ Howard suffered any injuries. It seems that their power forward is going to be a big trouble tonight.” Scott’s partner Vann Keith echoed.

The Rockets’ offense, the same tactics, Millsap got the same phone out, but the ball is still too strong, hit a bang and slammed high on the basket.

“Hey man, you have wasted two cell phone meetings.” Scott said with a laugh in the commentary seat.

The audience also laughed after hearing Scott’s commentary.

的 Dawson sitting in the middle also sighed helplessly. It seems that he must find a way to persuade Van Gundy to come back.

Millsap missed consecutive shots, but fortunately this time Yao Ming grabbed the rebound from the top of Corinth ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ shot directly caused the latter’s foul.

There was a noisy boo on the spot, Yao Ming shook his hand and went to the free throw line.

Tang Tian waved at Millsap on the field and shouted at him.

Millsap’s mood is a bit frustrated, and he is obviously not satisfied with his performance.

“Relax, play in a way you are familiar with, don’t think too much, I won’t replace you in advance.” Tang Tian said on the shoulder of Millsap.

After listening to Tang Tian’s words, Millsap breathed a sigh of relief. On the one hand, he wanted to play well, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would be replaced if he could not play well.

“Hey, Van, I just noticed that the Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy didn’t seem to be here, and they were commanding their assistant coach there, Tang Tian, ​​the focus of recent discussions.” Scott looked At this scene, it was said as if a new continent was discovered.

“Yes, I noticed it earlier, and I also learned from the technical platform just now that Howard was not injured. It seems that this rookie’s starter was Tang Tian’s decision, which is really a bad decision.” Keith said constantly. Shake his head.

好像 “It seems that this rookie named Millsap has won a championship trophy for Tang in the summer league, may this be a kind of” reward “?” Scott said ridiculously.

“Haha, summer league, man, it looks like the situation may really be what you think.” Keith also laughed.

Yao Ming made two free throws steadily, and the Rockets finally scored.

The two teams were 2 to 2 draws.

After the Nets advanced to the frontcourt, Kidd signaled his teammates to pull away, and then turned the ball into Kostic’s hands again.

As a historical point guard, he immediately noticed that this matchup is the strong point of the Nets.
