The Godfather of Basketball

"This is the third year I coached the Rockets. I can tell you a little bit more. My team has no permanent position. My team, only the best people have playing time. My team, I would rather stand dead than lie down and live! "

"Coach ..." Pietrus just wanted to speak.

"Shut up!" Tang Tian scolded directly.

The players' faces were full of surprise.

"The next game, Anthony Morrow will be the team's starting shooting guard, Weaver will replace Pietrus into the rotation, Dragic will enter the 12-man roster, if anyone feels hurt, or will I felt the same shame, and responded to me with the performance on the field, instead of refuting here, understand? ”Tang Tian said loudly.

The players' faces were full of shock, but no one dared to speak.

Tang Tian is really angry.

"There are many teams that have won two consecutive championships in NBA history, but there are only three teams that can truly be called dynasties? Do you know why?"

"Because the three consecutive championships are the lowest standard for a dynasty team, and the third championship is the most difficult to complete. All the league teams are strengthening, and our tactics have been thoroughly studied by them. You think the new season Will the game be easy? Wrong! This year is the hardest! "

"I don't know where this team can finally go, but this will be a team with three consecutive championships, because the three consecutive championships will become the dynasty team of all populations, so that everyone will Remember each of you! "

"Yao Ming, t-mac, Changxi, Shawn, Louis, Michael, Mark, Sun Yue ... all of you will be remembered by history."

"But this requires you to do it yourself! Tell me now, can you bring the third championship trophy for yourself, for me, for this city, and be remembered forever by this league? Become Houston's eternal pride Can you? Tell me! "

"Yes!" The team members shouted in succession.

The team members were scolded and agitated by Tang Tian, ​​a little bit of blood.

Everyone wants face.

"I can't hear it, can you?" Tang Tian raised the volume.

"can!"

The players roared out this time.

The nba 2008 ~ 2009 season regular season is about to kick off the curtain. Major sports media and commentators have been active for a while after being silent for an offseason.

ESPN ranked the strength of each team in the offseason.

The Celtics, who complemented Nicholas Batum, ranked first.

The Lakers, who ushered in the return of "Little Shark" Bynum, came in second.

The Cavaliers ranked Mo Williams third in the trade.

Recruiting Baron Davis to form the "New Three Musketeers" Nuggets rank fourth.

The defending champion Rockets are only fifth.

The official comment given by espn is: The Rockets' internal conflicts have escalated and their morale is not good. With the departure of Millsap, the position of the power forward of the team has become weak, coupled with the significant changes in the players, the strength has dropped significantly. The existence of Tianhe and the Big Three is still one of the hot teams to win the new season.

Espn's comments are relatively euphemistic. Tang Tian and the Rockets' Fox Sports have not seen much. They have eliminated the Rockets from the championship team, and their comments are full of contempt.

"No champion team will have such an embarrassing record in the preseason. Although it looks like the paper strength is still good, the Rockets are in a weak state and the core t-mac seems to have lost the motivation to play. Reinforcing, the Rockets' championship victory has been blocked. "

The aging core lineup, prominent internal contradictions, the team's reduced desire for championships, a thorough study of the tactical system, and lineup changes. All these factors that limited those two consecutive championship teams have all appeared on this Rockets team.

Can the Rockets become the fourth dynasty team?

It's not just the media, the fans are starting to get restless.

"The time for the Zijin Dynasty is here!" The Lakers' ardent fans shouted on social media.

"The new season will be the collision between the Green Army and the Zijin Army. The entanglements of the last century will continue into the new season!" Some fans directly said.

Along with the pessimism of the media and the doubts of the fans, the Rockets ushered in the opening season of the new season.

Speaking of their own arrangements, the Rockets' opener opponent is the Denver Nuggets, which has just been strengthened.

In previous memories, the Nuggets traded Billups this season, but now they are signed to free agent Baron Davis.

Although it has changed like the butterfly effect, it is still significantly stronger than last season.

Before the game, the Rockets performed the championship ring award ceremony.

The management and coaching staff, as well as the members who won last season, received their rings.

The team members who got the ring couldn't help putting it down. What they didn't get was envy. Tang Tian could feel that the team members' desire for the game had basically returned.

This is the best news.

After the award ceremony, the Rockets' fourth championship flag was slowly raised.

The fans at the scene looked at the rising flag, but also temporarily set aside their doubts.

The rise of this flag also marks the fourth team with the most championships since the Rockets became the Celtics (16), the Lakers (15) and the Bulls (6).

The flag rose to the top of the stadium, and the cheers at the scene rang through the stadium.

This is a glorious moment that belongs to Houston.

After the award ceremony, the players from both sides warmed up briefly, and then entered the opening ceremony.

Both starters were introduced.

On the Nuggets side, the outside line is a combination of Barron Davis and Iverson, the front line is Anthony and Nene, and the center is the "Birdman" Anderson.

"Shooting guard, No. 24, Anthony Morrow!"

When it was waiting for the home team to start, the first name to appear was a surprise to everyone ~ www.readwn.com ~ It was not McGrady!

Is Tracy McGrady injured?

Look at the Rockets bench McGrady wearing training clothes, and not!

If it's an injury, it's unlikely that there will be no noise before the game.

But even if Tracy McGrady fails, the starter should be Pietrus.

In the fans' doubts, other Rockets starters were introduced one after another.

Fortunately, except for Morrow, the other starters have not changed. The main point guard is Billups, the front line is Shane Battier and Scola, and the center is Yao Ming.

"What happened?" Brin of the commentary was full of doubts.

"We didn't receive any news before the game. This should be a decision within the Rockets. It seems that the problem of defending the championship is more serious than we expected." Miller said anxiously.
