I'm a big shot in basketball

Hearing that they are striving for a seven-game winning streak, the Rockets players are either excited and looking forward to it, or they are a little nervous, or they don't respond.

"The last time the team won 7 consecutive victories was in the 98-99 season. At that time, Charles Barkley was still in the team and Francis had not yet entered the league. It has been three years now and times have changed. In order to prove our ability, we need seven consecutive win..."

Take the initiative to propose a goal, first wind up the players, increase the sense of urgency, and increase some motivation. When the seven-game winning streak is achieved, the players will have more self-confidence and tactical execution will become better, which is better than unintentional Seven consecutive victories are stronger.

Of course, there are risks. If it is not achieved, it will not only be a bit embarrassing, but also easily damage self-confidence, and the gain outweighs the gain.

So you have to go all out.

After the words fell, Su Yang looked at Francis, his eyes indicating that he took over the topic, and now he needs to create some atmosphere.

Francis immediately yelled: "I'm following! Go for a seven-game winning streak and build the foundation for the playoffs!"

"Me too!" Mobley raised his right hand and clenched his fist to answer, Griffin and other main players shouted together.

The whole team formed a circle, clasping hands and fists, shouting 123 Come on Houston in unison, and walked out of the locker room.

After the pre-match ceremony, the game started.

Considering that Olowokandi, Elton Brandon and Odom have excellent average heights and are good at grabbing offensive rebounds, the Clippers rank among the top in the league in second offense scoring, but the overall offensive scoring is in the middle of the league. level,

Su Yang resolutely adjusted the rotation, arranged for Kevin Cato to return to the starting center position, and let Kenny Thomas, who is also short, heavy and with excellent wingspan, return to the power forward position. Griffin, who supported and moved to eat cakes, went to target Odom, who had a poor off-ball defense, while Mobley and Francis stormed the Clippers' garbage defense.

That kind of lineup had training in the morning, and the cooperation was okay.

After 5 minutes of the first quarter, the Clippers lacked organization and played shit, and failed to grab another offensive rebound. However, the Rockets' impromptu change had no effect, and various tactics were still executed efficiently. They easily won 22 to 11. Take the lead and get off to a good start.

Su Yang replaced Francis as planned, and at the same time instructed the whole team to implement the strategy of double-teaming Odom. In view of the possibility that Odom will have the opportunity to sign a big contract in advance after this season, he is sure that Odom really wants to stay in Los Angeles.

Anyway, Kobe's strategy is to double-team those who have not yet secured a big contract, and let those who have a big contract.

It just so happened that the Clippers also introduced Brand during the offseason.

It's psychological warfare.

The game continued, and the effect of double-teaming appeared quickly. Odom didn't make a shot for 3 minutes in a row. Counterattack, the lead extended to 18 points.

Brand managed to hit the rim to score, but was easily sent back by Odom's demented operation.

After the first quarter, Su Yang arranged for Francis to play on a staggered peak. However, against the Clippers substitute, the young Kenyon Dooling, instead of the slow-moving starter Jeff McGinnis, he played so-so. It just guaranteed the lead and failed to expand.

Su Yang couldn't help sighing: The Clippers have two excellent backcourts, Maggette and Durin, but it's a pity that Gentry rarely gives opportunities.

At halftime, the Rockets still led by 18 points.

Go back to the locker room for a short rest, watch the fast-cut video of the first half, and analyze how to avoid those mistakes from happening again.

Not long after the chat, Kevin Cato also apologized to Su Yang in person, saying that after returning to the starting center this time, he understood that Su Yang was right and wrong, and he would understand when he returned to the bench later, and he would fully integrate into the team.Su Yang responded with a simple fist bump.

Didn't care about Cato, didn't take it seriously at all.

The break is over and the second half begins.

The Rockets continued to double-team Odom, and Odom continued to cooperate with random shots. Clippers coach Gentry stared blankly.

In the middle of the fourth quarter of the game, the Rockets led by 27 points. The Clippers had no chance of a comeback and surrendered early.

Su Yang hurriedly arranged for Mookie Nonis and Dan Longi to come on stage to collect data and prepare for a potential transaction.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Clippers 113 to 92. The six players of the team scored in double figures, and Francis had a maximum of 28 points.

On the second day of rest, Su Yang met Beyoncé again.

With clear memories and onomatopoeic imitation, the arrangement is very close to the original version. Su Yang feels that it is already feasible, but Beyoncé insists on the attitude of keeping improving, saying that more polishing is needed to achieve that blockbuster feeling.

Su Yang said it was feasible. Anyway, his main purpose was to pick up girls, so he turned to chatting about copyright, saying that he didn't understand the market, completely trusted Beyoncé, and left it to her to handle it, but he wouldn't participate in commercial performances, not so much energy.

Beyoncé expressed her understanding, and they had dinner together again at noon. Her sister stared at the whole time, obviously worried that there would be intimacy.

With that kind of operation, Su Yang was a little speechless. After all, her sister was the elevator god of war, the kind who kicked her crotch at every turn.

The arrangement in the afternoon was also finished very quickly. There was no second dinner, and I went straight home to accept an interview with TNT.

Talking about why he was wearing a Chinese tunic suit instead of a regular suit for the first coaching session, Su Yang said that he wanted to inherit the family tradition and did not hate his Chinese identity. He hoped that more ABC young people would have self-confidence like Africans.

He also talked about how his relationship with Francis changed from a bad relationship to a good brother with a tacit understanding on the court and off the court.Su Yang explained that there were some misunderstandings before, but now the misunderstandings have been cleared up. As for the off-court good brothers, it is mainly because Francis is a big brother.

Finally, when talking about the seven-game winning streak plan, Su Yang said that in fact, the Spurs are also capable of winning. The main purpose is to let the players not become helpless just because they reach the seven-game winning streak. They need to maintain respect for any opponent, and don't be afraid of anyone opponent.

On the third day of the second day, the Rockets faced the Timberwolves.

After warming up before the game in the afternoon, Su Yang went back to the locker room to get ready. Looking through the scouting report, he found that the Wolves' backup guard was Billups. He immediately came up with a plan: contact Billups in advance to prepare for future potential recruits. Create conditions.

That's Billups, FMVP.

The game started immediately.

Su Yang once again arranged Cato as the starting center. On the one hand, he was preparing for a potential trade. On the other hand, Garnett was too flexible as a power forward. If Griffin was the starting power forward, Garnett would easily give him Hold tight.

To deal with Garnett, Thomas has to be the top player, although it won't work very well, at least it won't drag down the offense.

As for Griffin's arrangement to play small forward, facing Joe Smith of the Wolves, the defensive pressure is small and the offense is easy. The main reason is that Joe Smith, as the No. 208 pick with a height of [-], can play three positions: center, power forward, and small forward , but none of them are proficient.

The continuation of the previous arrangement against the Clippers is also due to the Timberwolves' overall high frontcourt and excellent rebounds.

With 7 minutes left in the first quarter, the game was tied.

Garnett's defense is too good, and he is more restrained and dynamic offensive play, so that the rest of the Timberwolves can press with confidence.

Su Yang considered again and again, did not let Francis off the field early, worried that he would lose his mentality due to the excellent defense of the substitute Billups in the subsequent appearance, so he should stay on the field and continue to face the Wolves' starting point guard Trill Brandon. Bully the veteran.

As Trier Brandon's physical strength declined, Francis benefited visibly and led the team to gradually establish a lead.

After the first quarter, the Rockets beat the Timberwolves 29 to 22.

The two teams switched to the second team and continued to play, but Billups played well on offense, and successfully suppressed Arroyo, who did not play with the second team, and led the Timberwolves to gradually equalize the score, but it was still within an acceptable range. , the Rockets don't panic.

As the two teams returned to the main force, Francis led the team to establish a lead by bullying Trill Brandon.

The two teams come and go, back and forth.

After three quarters, the Rockets led by 6 points.Su Yang weighed in and decided to let the main players play for a few more minutes, dispatching a super-athletic lineup of Francis, Griffin, Moon, Thomas, and Mobley to attack the Timberwolves second team with a fast break.

Seeing more and more falling behind, Timberwolves coach Saunders was forced to send Garnett and other main players in advance.

The game entered a fierce battle rhythm. The Rockets relied on the preemptive advantage and successfully maintained the lead until the end. They defeated the Timberwolves 98 to 94 and won a three-game winning streak. The five members of the team scored in double figures. Surrender.

After the game, Su Yang found Billups immediately, emphasizing that he was a loyal fan of Billups, believed that Billups was an FMVP-level player, and casually took out the offensive tactics designed with Billups as the core, and bluntly hoped that he would have a chance in the future can cooperate.

Billups nodded in confusion, took the tactics book and wanted to chat a little more, but Garnett forcibly pulled him away.

Su Yang didn't mind either. He went back to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, attended the press conference, and then led the team to the airport.

The Rockets will challenge the Suns in back-to-back away games.

While waiting to board the plane, I received a call from the team's media director, Richard Shax, saying that TNT and other media, including the vengeful media like ESPN, were discussing the Rockets' three-game winning streak and all kinds of praises for coaching. Youfang, three games and three strategies.

Su Yang was a little excited. He hung up the phone and received a text message. Beyoncé asked if he was there, and felt that Wuhu was taking off.
