NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

"It's just as you expected. It's against the Celtics." Taylor Swift stretched and sighed.

Tang Yu laughed and said, "Oh, no one can complete a reversal when they are 0-3 behind!"

"Even you can't do it?"

"I won't let my team face such a dilemma!"

Just kidding, if my team is 0-3 behind, it must be that all the main players are injured.

Finally, the opponent of the finals is determined, and the Celtics also have 5 days of rest.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers is now considered a famous coach, but Tang Yu is not interested in him.

This coach has three famous sayings on the court, namely Come on, Let is go and Move Move!

And his salary is not low, belonging to the top level of the league. His greatest ability may be interpersonal communication and eloquence.

In the next few days, the Rockets' daily training task is to simulate the Celtics' offensive tactics and practice the lineup.

The amount of training is not large, this is to keep the players in good condition and physical fitness, and the massage time should be increased every day.

Now the team is most afraid of injuries, but the two finals teams are very healthy.

On June 2, there is one day before the finals G1.

After the training that afternoon, Tang Yu called all the players and coaches together.

"Tomorrow night is the first game of the finals. We have to show those guys our strength in our territory. I not only want to win, I want you to crush the opponent's confidence in the first game, and then crush them all the way and let them go home to fish!"

Tang Yu's tone was very firm, and he encouraged the players with his hands and feet.

Unlike some coaches who are decompressing the players at this time, Tang Yu is doing the opposite. He tells his players that what he wants is the championship.

Through the training of these few days, the Rockets players can be said to have a thorough understanding of the Celtics' tactical cooperation.

Next, it depends on how the players perform.

June 3rd arrived quickly. At 8pm, Tang Yu's motorcade drove into the underground parking lot of the Dynasty Center Arena.

As soon as he got off the car, reporters started taking pictures of him. Tang Yu ignored them and walked into the arena holding Taylor Swift's hand.

"Taylor, you go get ready first. I'll go to the pre-match press conference."

"Then we'll see you later!" Taylor Swift replied.

After seeing Taylor Swift off, Tang Yu walked into the pre-match press conference under the guidance of the staff.

As soon as he entered, Tang Yu said to Max behind him: "Get me a cup of their coffee. I also need to refresh myself."

In fact, Tang Yu wanted to see how the coffee provided free of charge to reporters tasted.

After Tang Yu sat down, Max quickly took a cup of coffee and put it on his table.

Tang Yu picked up the coffee and looked at it. The outer packaging was still good, and then he took another sip.

"Well, it seems that this coffee is not bad!"

Although he was talking to himself, all the reporters heard it, and they naturally understood what Tang Yu meant.

The boss has tasted it for you personally, and it must be that he has not tasted it.

The press officer called a reporter and signaled him to start asking questions.

"Coach Tang, how do you feel about reaching the finals in your first year as coach? Is there anything you can share with us?"

"Haha, we are very lucky. We selected two future super players in the draft. Although they are rookies, they are growing rapidly."

Another reporter asked, "Coach Tang, how many games do you plan to win the championship?"

"Haha, our opponent is a strong team. If possible, I hope to win the championship at home. This is my first championship, and I hope to share it with all the fans!"

"Do you have a tactical method to deal with the Celtics?" A reporter asked the question that everyone was concerned about.

Tang Yu replied: "Of course, but we will still use our own rhythm to play advantage. We rely on the team's overall offensive tactics, and they need to follow our rhythm."

This is also a smokescreen. Tang Yu did not say that his team studied the opponent's offensive tactics, but said that he would rely on the Rockets' offense to suppress the opponent.

Then Tang Yu answered a few more questions and ended the pre-match press conference.

Back in the locker room, the players were organizing their teams and equipment, and Stevens was making the final pre-match arrangements.

The locker room leaders Battier and Uncle Mu gave speeches to motivate the players before the game, and the Rockets' morale reached a peak.

Tang Yu looked more confident about this final battle, and the players were very excited.

After arriving at the court, the two teamsEach team started warming up before the game. Fans came to the stadium very early tonight. No one wanted to miss even a second.

The three live commentators Bobby Jackson, Joan Barry and the special commentator ‘Glider’ Drexler were excitedly chatting about interesting things.

As the warm-up ended, the stadium began to play the pre-game warm-up videos of the two teams, and the passionate dunks and iron-blooded confrontations were presented to the fans one by one.

After that, Taylor Swift walked into the center of the venue wearing a diamond dress and ignited the entire Dynasty Arena again with a song Hero.

This is the first time that the Rockets have entered the NBA Finals since the Dream Era. This is what Houston fans have been waiting for after 14 years.

Then they began to introduce the starting five of the visiting team.

Point guard: ‘Coach Rondo’ Rajon Rondo;

Shooting guard: ‘Gentleman Sword’ Ray Allen;

Small forward: ‘Truth’ Paul Pierce;

Power forward: ‘Wolf King’ Kevin Garnett;

Center: ‘Fatty Two’ Kendrick Perkins.

Head coach: Doug Rivers.

Tang Yu squinted and used his unique skill to observe the ability values ​​of Celtics players.

Point guard Rondo’s overall ability is 87, Tang Yu nodded, this is almost the peak ability of Coach Rondo.

Shooting guard Ray Allen’s overall ability is 85, and Gentleman Sword’s three-pointer was the best shooter in the league before Curry came to the league.

Small forward Paul Pierce’s overall ability is 90, and Truth is still very strong at the end of his peak. His ability to defend inside and outside is a reflection of Pierce’s ability value.

Power forward Kevin Garnett has an overall ability of 83. He is the oldest of the Big Three. Garnett's ability declined rapidly after he was injured in the playoffs last year. He is no longer as powerful as he used to be.

Center Kendrick Perkins has an overall ability of 77. He is the weakest point of the Celtics' starting five. It is unknown whether he can withstand Yao Ming's bombardment in the finals.

If the inside line is lost, it will be a disaster for this Celtics team.

Tony Allen in the bench lineup has an overall ability of 74. He is a future super forward defender who can defend any player at positions 2, 3 and 4, but he has not been discovered in the Celtics yet.

'Big Baby' Glen Davis has an overall ability of 73. He is a backup center with a large tonnage, but his ability is average.

Michael Finley has an overall ability of 70. He was once one of the three horses of the Mavericks and one of the best swingmen in the league. However, he had few opportunities to play in the last year of his career.

Nate Robinson's overall ability is 73, and the strongest on earth is 175. After winning the dunk king consecutively, he began to pursue a chance to win a championship. However, he obviously did not fit the team's tactics in the Celtics, and Rivers did not like this player very much.

After scanning all the substitutes of the Celtics, Tang Yu felt particularly relieved. This substitute lineup really dropped a level after scanning the roaring Tianzun!
