NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Taylor Swift felt a little sleepy after playing for a while, so Tang Yu took her out of the nightclub first.

The next day, Tang Yu came to the Rockets training center early in the morning. Now the Eastern Conference Finals have not ended yet, and the Rockets should have a few more days of rest.

Although Tang Yu gave the players a holiday, most of the players came to the training center for recovery training the next day.

Tang Yu took Stevens and the coaching staff to study the offensive and defensive tactics of the finals.

"Rashid, you know the Celtics better, tell me your suggestions!"

Tang Yu looked at Rasheed Wallace and asked.

Wallace now looks like a coach, and his gestures are very different from those when he was a player.

Wallace opened his tablet and said: "The Celtics are a traditional inside and outside combination team. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce are both good scorers. Their outside shooting ability is also very strong."

Tang Yu nodded, but there was only one outside three-pointer that could not kill the Rockets.

Changing the subject, Wallace continued: "However, the core of this Celtics team has now been replaced by Rajon Rondo, who is the brain of this team. My suggestion is to activate Patrick Beverley!"

Stevens looked at Tang Yu, and Wallace and Tang Yu said almost the same thing.

Tang Yu said: "Okay, let's follow your plan. Does anyone else have any suggestions?"

Tang Yu looked at the other assistants, and no one spoke.

"Well, let me tell you about the rotation list of the finals team, A-League's sixth man, Patrick Beverley, Vince Carter and DeAndre Jordan. Brad, the rest of the allocation of playing time is up to you."

Stevens nodded to show that he understood, "I will give you the playing time tomorrow."

As for the offensive tactics, Tang Yu did not make too many arrangements, and it was still the same as before, with Harden as the initiator of the offensive organization.

That night, the Eastern Conference Finals G5 started, and Tang Yu watched the live broadcast at home.

The Magic established a 10-point advantage in the first two quarters. The Celtics fought back in the third quarter, but the Magic players withstood the pressure and led by one point in a single quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Magic worked together and scored a double-digit difference of 30-18 in a single quarter. In the end, the Magic defeated the Celtics 115-92 by 23 points away from home.

The score was chased to 2-3, and the Magic seemed to see the hope of catching up with the Celtics from 3 to 4. If they can win another game in the next away game, the Magic will have a chance to complete an epic comeback when they return to their home court.

Howard, the Magic's basic player, is a very high winning rate as long as he performs well.

He contributed 23 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks in the whole game. He was undoubtedly the best player in this game.

Magic guard Nelson contributed 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Rashard Lewis, the billionaire, scored 15 points and 8 rebounds.

The Celtics' Ray Allen's poor performance was the main reason for their defeat. His shooting percentage tonight was extremely low, with only 3 of 12 shots and 1 of 5 three-pointers, scoring only 8 points.

Turning off the TV, Taylor Swift asked, "Honey, can the Magic turn the tables?"

Tang Yu smiled and said, "I hope they can turn the tables, but the chance is too slim."

What a joke, if the Magic can turn the tables, it would be great news for the Rockets.

To put it bluntly, it was just a casual play, and he couldn't think of any reason to lose.

"Do you think the Magic are weak?" Taylor Swift asked.

"Not really, it's just that my team is very restrained against them!"

The next day, Tang Yu came to the training hall, and the players were training under the guidance of the trainer.

"Brad, come here!" Tang Yu called Stevens to his side.

"What's the matter, boss?"

"Let the substitute players form a team and imitate the Celtics' tactical coordination and train with the main players!"

This is the best way to intuitively experience the opponent's tactics, and the Rockets still have these players who can be used.

Allen Iverson (Rajon Rondo), Danny Green (Ray Allen), McGrady (Pierce), Scola (Garnett), Mutombo (Perkins).

Such a combination is perfect for training with the main players. Both the main players and the substitutes can quickly understand the Celtics' tactical coordination.

"Okay, I'll tell them about the Celtics' tactics first."

Thirty minutes later, a Celtics imitation team wearing green vests and the award-winning main players started an internal training match.

Tang Yu stood on the sidelines and watched. Not to mention, this fake Celtics played well, and McGrady frequently performed difficult drifting mid-range shots.

"Sean, Truth shoots this way every night, you have to play tough defense!" Tang Yu shouted on the sidelines.

As the Rockets' defensive vanguard on the front line, Battier has to defend both Kobe and Pierce.

Since the start of the Western Conference Finals, his playing time has been one of the most in the team.

There are many similarities between Pierce and Kobe's playing styles, and both of them are very accurate in mid-range shots.

Kobe is more athletic, but Pierce is stronger.

The Rockets' substitutes are trying their best to imitate the Celtics' tactics and the technical characteristics of each player.

After these main players defended for 20 minutes, Tang Yu stopped the training.

"That's it for today. This kind of actual combat training simulating opponents will continue in the next three days, with 20 minutes per day, and the main lineup will defend. ”

It was time for the players to watch the video in the afternoon. Everyone gathered together to watch the Celtics' game. The assistant coach would pause from time to time to explain.

On the evening of May 28, the Eastern Conference Finals Game 6 started. The Celtics returned to their home court. If they could not win tonight and were dragged back to Game 7 by the Magic, it would be hard to say who would win.

In the first quarter, the Celtics dealt a heavy blow to the visiting team at home, leading their opponents by 12 points 31-19 in a single quarter.

'Truth' Paul Pierce led the way. As the team's boss, he scored 11 points in a single quarter and made 2 of 2 three-pointers.

In the second quarter, the Magic found some tricks The score was narrowed to 3 points, but Ray Allen's two three-pointers widened the gap again.

At the end of the first half, the score was 56-42, and the score difference had reached 14 points.

In the third quarter, the Magic completely collapsed on the road, losing 8 points to the opponent in a single quarter and falling behind the home team by 22 points.

Although the players woke up a little in the fourth quarter, it was too late.

In the end, the Celtics defeated the Magic 99-88 at home, eliminated their opponents 4-2 and entered the finals.

The Celtics and the Houston Rockets will meet in the finals. The finals G1 of the two teams will start at the Houston Dynasty Center on June 3!
