NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Center: Yao Ming 87-87, DeAndre Jordan 79-80, Dikembe Mutombo 72-70;

Power forward: Luis Scola 78-79, Serge Ibaka 79-80;

Small forward: Sean Battier 79-79, Vince Carter 84-84, Yi Jianlian 77-79;

Shooting guard: James Harden 86-88, Iverson 80-81, Tracy McGrady 77-77, Danny Green 72-74;

Point guard: Stephen Curry 87-90, Kyle Lowry 74-75, Patrick Beverley 73-74.

The ability values ​​of almost everyone have increased under Tang Yu, and the ability values ​​of Harden and Curry have increased the most!

It is worth mentioning that during this period of time after McGrady returned to the Rockets, his talent value actually increased a little, reaching 73 points, which surprised Tang Yu.

It seems that McGrady is gradually recovering after a serious injury, or it may be because he is calm and does not force himself anymore.

The Rockets' bus drove into the Amway Arena, and Tang Yu got off the bus first, wearing a black casual suit and sneakers, with a clean white T-shirt inside, which has become Tang Yu's standard.

Tang Yu, who was about to attend the press conference, had his phone ring in his hand. He raised his hand and saw that it was a call from General Manager Sam Hinkie.

"Hello Sam, just say what you want to say."

Sam Hinkie also knew Tang Yu's character and immediately got straight to the point.

"Boss, several teams have inquired about DeMarre Carroll. He has been killing it in the Development League recently and his performance is very eye-catching. If he is not in your plan, you might as well exchange for some favorable resources now."

"Tell me about it."

Tang Yu said as he returned to the bus and signaled the players to get off quickly.

"The Jazz want to use 'AK47' Andrei Kirilenko to exchange for Sean Battier and DeMarre Carroll, but we have to add an $8 million trade exception, otherwise we can't balance the salary."

"Next!" Tang Yu said coldly.

What are you playing with?

This will all belong to your wife and children. AK47 has been plagued by injuries in the past two seasons, and his big contract will reach more than 17 million dollars next season.

Although Kirilenko is only 28 years old, it seems that his peak period has gone away due to injuries.

Then Sam Hinkie talked about the offers of two teams.

One is that the Chicago Bulls intend to trade George Noah, who is almost scrapped, which is not as good as the Jazz's offer.

The other is that the Spurs intend to trade Michael Finley plus a second-round pick for DeMarre Carroll.

Seeing that Tang Yu didn't say anything, Sam Hinkie could only say the last offer.

"The last one, the Suns will take out Grant Hill in exchange for DeMarre Carroll and Danny Green."

The Suns are so bold, isn't this a gamble!

Although Hill has been devastated by injuries and no longer has the strength of an All-Star, he still has experience, and averaging about 10 points per game is stable.

"Sam, call Grant and ask the player's attitude, and tell him that he can only compete for a job here. In addition, we can take out cash and a future second-round pick, and Danny must stay."

Tang Yu was tempted. As the successor appointed by the 'God of Basketball', Tang Yu wanted to see Hill's ability, and giving up Danny Green was what Tang Yu didn't want to see.

"I understand, boss, is the second-round pick ours?"

"Nonsense, our own second-round pick is the least valuable!" Tang Yu laughed and cursed and hung up the phone.

Soon Tang Yu came to the pre-match press conference, and reporters had been waiting for a while.

"Coach Tang, tonight is the night of your career with Houston, are you a little nervous?" A reporter stood up and asked.

"Haha, of course not. I just received a call. Tonight is just an ordinary regular season game. I won't put too much pressure on the players."

Another reporter immediately asked: "Tonight's opponent Orlando Magic is the runner-up last year. They are very strong. Do you have a way to deal with them?"

"We face each team with our own tactics. It is my purpose to let the opponent change with our tactics."

Before the winning streak, Tang Yu didn't dare to say this. Now that the team is strong and the back is firm, he naturally speaks tough.

"Does Coach Tang have a way to defend the opponent's 'Magic Beast' Howard?"

"Dwight is an extraordinary player, his physical talent is unparalleled, but we have Yao Ming, look at the data of the previous duels between the two."

"Do you mean Yao Ming's playing time will increase tonight?"

"No, but Yao Ming's presence will increase theTime is enough! "

"During your winning streak, you set off a wave of offensive frenzy. Your average points per game is the highest in the league. Can you tell me the reason? "

"We have the best players, that's the reason!"

Crazy, Tang Yu showed great self-confidence at the press conference tonight, which put pressure on the opponent and let the entire Magic team know what kind of team they will face.

After leaving the pre-match press conference, Tang Yu walked into the locker room. The players were sorting out their equipment and Stevens was making the final tactical explanation.

Seeing Tang Yu coming in, he signaled Tang Yu to speak first, and Tang Yu came to the middle of the locker room.

"Tonight, I will also put pressure on you. I said that the team will achieve a long winning streak. We have done it now. Two months ago, I was still a layman who was ridiculed for being useless."

"Haha!" Tang Yu's self-deprecation also made the locker room laugh.

"But now, we are already at the top of the league. This is a wonderful experience and an honor for all of us. Tonight we will break the record set by Yao Ming, T-Mac, Louis, Dikembe and Sean. Sorry guys! "

Yao Ming and the other five smiled knowingly, and Uncle Mu said, "Boss, we like the current winning streak more, right guys?"

There was another round of laughter in the locker room, and everyone was in high spirits.

"Tonight we will still follow the established tactics and forget about winning or losing. You just need to show your talents to the fullest. That way you are invincible! Leave it to you Brad."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, he continued to leave time for Stevens.

The players quickly packed up their equipment and went to the stadium to warm up.

Stevens said to Tang Yu, "Should we increase Yao Ming's playing time tonight? I'm worried that DeAndre may not be able to defend Dwight."

Tang Yu thought for a while and replied, "We will make plans based on the situation on the court. If the team falls behind, we can increase Yao Ming's playing time in the fourth quarter. "

Stevens nodded to show his agreement with Tang Yu's approach, and the two then walked into the arena together.

The attendance rate of Amway Arena tonight is pretty good. It seems to be about 50% full now, and many more people will come in after the game starts.
