Chapter 355 The Rockets Waiting for Work

Although the two warring parties left San Antonio after the game, the process of the game has been constantly reminiscing in the hearts of Spurs fans. Although the process was extremely thrilling and more exciting than watching any blockbuster movies, the ending was Nice, that's enough.

Although this result was a bit cruel for the fans of the Suns, no one thought that the Suns, which ranked second in the league, were defeated by the Spurs [-]-[-]. There are also a large number of fans around the world. I thought that after the Mavericks were hacked by the Warriors, this is the year the Suns have the most hope of winning the championship. into such a mess.

If the failure in the first game was just an accident, and the failure in the third game was due to poor performance, then the failure in the fourth game can only be attributed to luck. The Suns have played well enough, but obviously, in the The home court of the Spurs, God is clearly on the side of the Spurs.

But from this game, what can be seen is the Spurs' tenacity of never giving up and their composure in the face of backwardness. Facing such a Spurs, any team in the league needs to be cautious Pay more attention, because no matter how much you lead, you can't relax in the slightest.

And the various changes of the Spurs in this game also made people realize the strength of the Spurs' bench lineup. Although this is an old topic, it is obvious that the Spurs players, almost any one picked out, can Play a corresponding role, and the Suns' bench players have nothing to play.

In this game, Stephen scored 41 points, [-] rebounds, [-] assists, [-] steals and [-] blocks. However, it is no surprise that Stephen has achieved such statistics. He is no longer a rookie in the league. Although he didn't get any honors this season due to the number of games suspended, and no one mentioned "the greatest second-round pick" and so on, but the Suns double-teamed him unprecedentedly, and still Marion and Lagabel double-teamed him, and they knew how much they valued him.

The Houston Rockets, which have eliminated the Golden State Warriors [-]-[-], are already waiting for the Western Conference finals, waiting for the Spurs and the Suns who went to Phoenix for an expedition. Following the latest changes of the two teams.

Especially Van Gundy, after watching the video of the latest game, the hair that was already thin became much less, and the daughter-in-law complained that the thing she dislikes the most is baldness. Van Gundy is already considering whether to find a way to stick all the hair on his head. The team advanced to the Western Conference Finals this year. Although Van Gundy was a bit unimaginable about entering the finals, the team's ability to break through the first round of the playoffs this year has already made him feel that the team has great hope in the future, and the team In addition to offering him a new two-year contract extension, the boss and the general manager also promised that during the offseason, they will definitely carry out large-scale operations to bring him more useful players.

However, Van Gundy still had no confidence in how to defend Stephen. Just creating a Sean Battier was not enough to restrict Stephen. However, he discussed several times with Tom Thibodeau, who was in charge of defense, and then made some adjustments to Stephen's offense. After careful research, still haven't come up with an effective defensive penalty.

Tom Thibodeau is a master of defense. He has the same basketball philosophy as Van Gundy. Van Gundy has no doubts about the ability of this old friend. If he can’t come up with any good solutions, it means it’s true There is no other way.

Another main reason is that it is impossible for the Rockets to arrange for McGrady to flank Stephen like the Suns did. As the league's superstar player and two-time scoring champion, McGrady cannot serve as a help defense player. Attacking others is his self-esteem that cannot be challenged, and it is also his pride. Although his strength has declined due to physical reasons, he still cannot accept it.

What if he is the main defense and Shane Battier is the assistant defense?Van Gundy thought of such an idea. Although it is also a kind of disrespect to McGrady, he should be able to persuade him. After all, it would be very difficult for him to guard against that kid, and it was the first time in his life to enter In the division finals, McGrady's desire for victory and awareness of fighting have been restored, and his state has also been greatly improved. Perhaps he can use this excuse to let him defend Stephen, and at the same time persuade him to agree to Shaw. Embatier's defense.

What people didn't expect was that McGrady agreed immediately, and told Van Gundy that he couldn't focus on defending Stephen, but also needed to invest in the offensive end, so he hoped that Sean Battier could help defend If you invest a little more in the game, you will go all out to defend Stephen.

At the same time, Van Gundy is still paying close attention to Yao Ming's state. Since returning from injury, Yao Ming has truly met Van Gundy's requirements and has the dominance at the basket. However, Yao Ming has been trying to reduce his weight as much as possible. Let Van Gundy a little dissatisfied.

Although he has learned about Yao Ming's hidden dangers of foot injuries, he is a little bit convinced, but at the same time he is a little skeptical. It is normal for players to be afraid of injuries, because no matter who they are, they don't want to be injured. It's normal, but in his opinion, even if Yao Ming's weight doesn't continue to increase, he can't lose any more. If he loses any more, he won't have enough weight to go to the toilet.

However, Yao Ming's state is very satisfactory to him, and Yao Ming also asked him, hoping that under normal circumstances, he should not be allowed to play more than 35 minutes. During this time, Yao Ming can still score 22 points plus [-] points. The average data of rebounds is indeed a super center.

This made him unable to ask for anything more from Yao Ming, but he also made a request to Yao Ming. It is okay to lose weight, but it cannot reduce confrontation. Hundred pounds, once found, the team will be fined or suspended.

This makes Yao Ming a little dissatisfied, but it is hard to say anything. The coach has the coach's considerations, and the team has the team's considerations. In this regard, he cannot be considerate of the players. Pounds, although it has not yet reached the safe weight of 290 pounds, but it is no problem against most centers in the league, and if the playing time is reduced a little, there should be no problem.

Yao Ming attaches great importance to his career, and he is also confident that he can occasionally become a great player like Sabonis in his heart, but at the same time, he does not want to be knocked down by injuries like an idol. He has a strong Confidence, also has a strong belief, and at the same time is extremely self-disciplined. No matter what time or reason, he has not reduced or lowered his own training. This kind of persistence can not even be persisted by some defenders. For a big man like him, it is even more difficult. It is rare hard work for success.

However, since he heard Professor Amilke's theory, the hidden danger of foot injury is like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, which has been difficult for him to let go, especially the re-injury after a short time, which has increased Yao Ming couldn't help but believe in the persuasive power of this theory.

Yao Ming absolutely does not want to be forced to interrupt his career when he is young and strong. In this regard, Yao Ming's parents are on Yao Ming's side. They would rather their son live alone and live like an ordinary person. He also didn't want his son to have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. It was because of the support of his parents that Yao Ming expressed his opinion to the team. Unfortunately, the team was unwilling.

Yao Ming has always maintained a balance between the team's requirements and his own considerations. Fortunately, Van Gundy is more understanding and trustworthy, and he can satisfy Yao Ming's requirements as much as possible, and Yao Ming also returns with excellent performance. Although he lost the trust of the head coach, Yao Ming always felt that his feet and legs were still not completely relieved under the huge weight pressure.

Yao Ming really wanted to keep losing weight, but Van Gundy's warning made him dare not continue to do so, so he could only increase training as much as possible to reduce the fat content in the muscles, and try to lose weight bit by bit without reducing the confrontation. Less points, but this is equivalent to increasing the amount of training, in fact, it is also a means of drinking poison to quench thirst.

However, entering the division finals for the first time in his life also made Yao Ming a little overjoyed, and he didn't want to affect his state because of his weight, so in the recent training, Yao Ming's extra training has dropped to half of the previous one, but he status was largely unaffected.

In Van Gundy's consideration, Yao Ming is the weapon he relies on the most. The Spurs can only compete with Yao Ming. Di, it's not bad to be able to compete with Stephen on the offensive end.

However, in addition to offense, McGrady also has organizational contributions. His passing vision is unmatched, and his basketball IQ is also the best among perimeter players. Yao Ming's offense is strongly dependent on perimeter passing. On the other hand, McGrady's passing is still the best in terms of quality and timing.

But even so, Van Gundy's confidence is not too high. The only good news is that the Rockets have already entered the Western Conference Finals, while the Spurs have only stepped into half a foot. I hope the Suns can create a little more trouble for them. Hit seven games.

Whether it is the Spurs or the Suns, the Rockets have no advantage. Even if the opponent is the Suns, the Rockets also have a disadvantage in terms of strength, because in their group, the most powerful Mavericks were killed by the Warriors. It took seven games between the Rockets and the Jazz to come close, so no matter who wins, Van Gundy doesn't care.
