NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

The Rockets had three days of rest after playing back-to-back games with the Lakers and the Suns.

The next day, as soon as Tang Yu arrived at the restaurant of the Rockets' training center, Sam Hinkie hurried over.

"What's the matter, Sam?"

"The league just announced that the Hornets and the Cavaliers have reached a deal."

Tang Yu nodded and signaled Sam Hinkie to continue.

"David West and Big Z Ilgostas are the main players in this transaction. In addition, the Cavaliers gave the Hornets the first round of 2011 and the first round of 2013 to swap."

This cunning Morris and Pig Lei are really birds of a feather. They would rather make a loss-making deal to send West to the Cavaliers.

But has he ever thought that the Cavaliers will become stronger after getting West? If young James can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals or even further, what will happen if he doesn't leave!

"Well, then? What other transactions are there for the Hornets?"

Sam Hinkie shook his head, indicating that no other transactions have been reached at present.

He was about to leave and not disturb Tang Yu's meal, but was immediately stopped by Tang Yu.

"Sam, our team's on-site commentators seem to be a little less star-studded. Are you considering changing a group of commentators?"

"Boss, do you have any good candidates?" Sam Hinkie asked tentatively.

He knew that his boss, Tang Yu, was a very opinionated boss. His task was to complete the tasks assigned by the boss. To the outside world, he was the Rockets GM, but in fact, he knew in his heart that he was just Tang Yu's executor.

"Well, what do you think of the Barry brothers? Or you can find Bobby Jackson again."

Sam Hinkie nodded and said, "Boss, Jon Barry is now the commentator for the Bucks, but I will contact them."

"Okay, money is not a problem. We want to create a brand new Rockets home atmosphere."

Tang Yu is very confident in transforming the Rockets. He will make the Rockets the most successful team.

Back in the office, Tang Yu needs to find a third point guard in the free market to replace Kyle Lowry.

But there are not many good choices in the free agent market. Just when Tang Yu was about to give up, a name appeared in front of him.

Sun Yue, Sun Dasheng!

Sun Yue, the champion guard who just won the championship with the Lakers last season, was cut by the Lakers before the start of this season and is still a completely free agent.

Tang Yu immediately found Dayao and Alian, who were reviewing last night's game with the team.

"Excuse me Brad, Dayao and Alian, you two come out for a moment."

Dayao and Alian walked out of the team meeting room in confusion. They didn't know what Tang Yu meant by calling them out.

"Nothing important, the team needs a third point guard now, you contact Sun Yue and see his attitude." Tang Yu said the purpose of finding the two.

Dayao was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "Coach, you are so good to us. Last night I was thinking whether to recommend Sun Yue to you. I was worried...!"

"Are you worried about being rejected by me? Haha, in fact, we can be like friends. If there is a good suggestion, I will accept it. Okay, call quickly."

Ya Lian immediately took out his phone and called Sun Yue. When he heard that the Rockets wanted to sign him, Sun Yue immediately agreed to book a flight to Houston immediately.

"I have settled the matter with the coach. Sun Yue said he will fly over immediately."

Tang Yu nodded to show his satisfaction, "Okay, you can go back. Dayao, have you made a weight loss plan?"

"The team's trainer is working hard to make a plan."

Tang Yu waved his hand and turned to leave. He had settled another big thing. Tang Yu, who was in a good mood, returned to the office and poured a glass of red wine to drink.

......

In the blink of an eye, it was January 15th. The Rockets won all three games in the past.

They defeated the New York Knicks, the bottom team in the Eastern Conference, the Hornets, and the Bobcats.

The Rockets' winning streak has been extended to 33 games!

The only bad news is that the team's sixth man, 'The Answer' Iverson, has a recurrence of his old right knee injury and is expected to be out for a while.

In tonight's game, the Rockets will face the challenge of the Minnesota Timberwolves at home. Whether they can achieve the milestone depends on the performance of the Rockets players tonight.

Luis Scola has recovered from his injury and Sun Yue has also come to the team, but he has not yet entered the team's roster and is waiting for Tang Yu's call.

After Sun Yue joined the team, Tang Yu looked at Sun Yue's potential and current ability value with a unique eye, which somewhat disappointed Tang Yu.

Sun Yue's ability value is only 66, and his potential value is only 73, which means that even if Sun Yue reaches his peak, he is just an ordinary player in the league, and it is good to be able to play in the rotation of a weak team.

Tonight, the Houston Dynasty Center is full of fans, and the stadium is full of fans.Tickets are even harder to come by, and fans hold up banners with 34 consecutive wins as if it were a holiday.

Tang Yu's car almost didn't drive into the stadium, and fans immediately shouted Tang Yu's name when they saw his car.

"Tang Yu!"

"Tang Yu!"

"Tang Yu!"

Tang Yu opened the car window and waved to the fans amid the calls, but in fact he was cursing in his heart, saying that it was not the time to shout and kill me!

After entering the stadium, Tang Yu walked into the pre-match press conference.

The entire interview site was full of people, and all the long guns and short guns were loaded. As soon as Tang Yu came, the flashlights kept flashing.

Tang Yu didn't dare to look at the audience at all, because he couldn't open his eyes.

The Rockets press officer waited for Tang Yu to sit down and signaled everyone to be quiet, ready to start the question session.

The press officer also understood aesthetics. He picked a beautiful reporter first. She had fair skin, long legs, big eyes, and a chest ravine that Tang Yu could swim in!

The beautiful woman stood up excitedly and started asking questions.

"Coach Tang, what I want to ask is that you have gone from being spit on by thousands of people to being admired by thousands of people now. How do you feel now?"

Tang Yu smiled. The reporter asked a question that was too radical. If he gave a bad answer, he would offend the fans. But Tang Yu didn't care at all!

"Haha, I like to see them get slapped in the face. Those haters should be crying somewhere! I make them feel ashamed. This feeling is so wonderful!"

"Hahaha!" The reporters in the audience also laughed. This is the domineering power of a boss.

This time, the press officer called another handsome reporter to ask questions.

"Hello, Coach Tang. Is your team under a lot of pressure tonight? How do you help the players relieve the pressure?"

"It's very simple. My players all have big hearts. I told them that if they lose the game, they will not be allowed to go to the nightclub!"

The whole press conference was full of laughter. Tang Yu's answer really surprised the reporters.

The next reporter asked about the Hornets' bad performance.

"Haha! I can't comment on other teams, but the success of the Houston Rockets is not replicable. Not every rookie has rookies like Stephen and James. People were doubting whether Stephen could adapt to the intensity of the NBA, and now these people have been severely slapped in the face."

Tang Yu hinted that his draft vision is irreplaceable, and it is very rare for players of Curry and Harden's level to be in the same class.

Historically, it is difficult for such backcourt twin stars to be so reused in the rookie season, so the thousand-mile horse needs to meet a good bole to shine.
