Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 124 We Are Destined to be Champions

On the second day of the Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and the Spurs, before the Rockets' routine training began, the Rockets' head coach, general manager and owner all came to the Rockets' training ground.

Watching the Rockets' training today and seeing this posture, all the Rockets players felt uneasy in their hearts.

The Spurs actually defeated the Rockets at their home court. Why did this happen? The Rockets players were thinking in their hearts. The old players had already figured out what was going on. The young people were still uneasy. .

On the sidelines, Tiger said to Lao Tang: "Rudy, what happened? After this game, did these brats reflect on themselves?"

Lao Tang shook his head and said, "Last night, after losing to the Spurs, these brats didn't get a good night's sleep. I received a call yesterday in the early hours of this morning."

Tiger laughed beside him and said: "These brats also have this time. I thought they were not afraid of the sky and the earth."

Dawson interjected from the side: "Actually, the boys played very well, but the mentality was not set properly, and the Spurs took advantage of the loopholes."

Lao Tang continued on the side: "Yesterday, we had a chance to win the game. As long as Hakeem and Clyde break out, it is still possible to reverse the situation yesterday, but we didn't let them do that, Hakim I'm already that old with Clyde, I can't let these brats get into the habit of relying on two old guys to win games, then their future development will come to an end."

Just on the sidelines, while the Rockets' off-court Big Three were talking, the young people of the Rockets were also chatting privately.Garnett said to Ray Allen: "Ray, what do you think the coach will do, it's really embarrassing that we lost yesterday."

Ray Allen also lowered his voice and said, "I called the coach last night, trying to find out, but I didn't ask anything."

Garnett said with some surprise: "Me too, I didn't ask anything."

Ray Allen shook his head helplessly and said, "I have to resign myself to fate."

While the two were chatting, they heard Lao Tang shouting: "Kevin, Lei, what are you doing? Do you want to double your training?"

When Garnett and Ray Allen heard this, they immediately shrank their necks and continued today's training.

After finishing the training of the day, Lao Tang signaled to everyone to go to the big conference room today and hold a meeting for everyone.

Everyone knows that today's drama is coming.

In the big conference room, Tiger and Dawson were already sitting there waiting for the meeting to start.

Lao Tang signaled everyone to do well, looked at many Rockets players, and said loudly: "Yesterday, we lost. I think everyone understands this. You all know the importance of this series. I want to hear everyone's opinions today. The views on losing yesterday, after all, losing is losing, at least we know where we lost, I want to know everyone's views."

Everyone in the Rockets was silent for a long time. At this time, Olajuwon spoke first.

I heard Olajuwon say: "Coach, I am the captain, let me talk first."

Lao Tang didn't speak, just nodded.

Olajuwon cleared his throat and said: "Yesterday, we lost the game. I believe everyone is very sad, but a loss is a loss. As the coach said just now, we must at least find the reason for the loss, or we will lose if we lose. It doesn’t make sense anymore, it’s not the regular season, we have time to correct it, it’s the Western Conference Finals now, and our opponent is also the Spurs who have made their way through many teams. They have Robinson, Barkley and Duncan. Players, we must not be careless. But look at our game yesterday, from the carelessness at the beginning of the game, to the impatience in the middle of the game, and the disappointment at the end of the game. Is that still the spirit of our Rockets? The team that never gave in and never gave up is gone, replaced by an impetuous, arrogant, irresponsible team, just like this team, we still want to fight for the highest honor, isn't that a dream? , I hope everyone wakes up from the atmosphere of the regular season. Now is the playoffs. If you lose a game, you may go home. I don’t want everyone to leave in despair after a busy season. That's enough talk."

After finishing speaking, Olajuwon sat back in his chair.

Olajuwon's words were like a hurricane, sweeping through the hearts of the Rockets players, and hitting everyone's spirits like a heavy hammer.

The Rockets players all lowered their heads, thinking about their performance in yesterday's game.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that yesterday's game, the Rockets are in a mess, and the more I think about it, I feel that my performance yesterday was really bad.

Looking at this situation, Lao Tang nodded to Olajuwon with satisfaction, and said in his heart: It seems that the communication with Hakeem last night was still very successful, and today's Rockets players can have such a performance.

Lao Tang continued to look around at the Rockets players, and said, "Who else do you want to talk about? Let's see if you have any different views on yesterday's game."

As soon as the words fell, Garnett stood up and said to Lao Tang: "Coach, I also want to share my opinion."

Lao Tang nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Garnett said a little passionately: "Guys, in yesterday's game, when I didn't hear Hakeem speak, I thought I played very well yesterday and thought I had done my best. But now that I think about it, what are those things? The success of a player depends on the success of the team. At that time, the Lakers star Elgin Baylor entered the finals 8 times, but failed to win a championship, although he was also selected into the top 50. Superstar, but if he can win more than 4 championships, what will his historical status be like. Just like Michael now, if he doesn’t have 5 championship rings in his hand, then his status in history is nothing more than It's also a super machine, he can't reach such a height at all. The best example is the old man Russell of Lord of the Rings. He holds 11 championship rings, which is completely a milestone in the history of the league. Therefore, I am now I deeply understand one thing. While making a great team, we are also making great players. We play basketball because we want to earn money that will not worry about life in the future when we are young, and then we can put ourselves Is your name engraved in the history of the NBA? It may be that we were too impatient yesterday, or that there was a problem with the way we played yesterday, but I don’t think this is the key. The most important thing is whether everyone has lost their longing for victory. And that fiery heart for victory.

In order to win, we are omnipotent, in order to win, we are fearless, in order to win, we do our best, we did not do this yesterday, but I will work hard in the future games. "

Garnett, who said these words, was impassioned and very contagious.

For a moment, the Rockets' players applauded desperately. The morale that was hit in yesterday's game was restored at this moment.

Olajuwon and Garnett, the two current and future leaders, have completely aroused the passion of the Rockets players with their hot and cold attitudes.

Lao Tang nodded secretly watching such a scene. It seems that the future leader of the Rockets has grown up.

Seeing the jubilation below, Lao Tang beckoned everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Today's meeting, in fact, is for everyone to summarize experience and lessons. Everyone knows that we are a highly anticipated team this year. Our regular season The record is already eye-catching, and the record in the playoffs is also 7 wins and 0 losses. I think such a result more or less made everyone feel arrogant and proud. In fact, this is nothing. Many people are young people, and it is normal for such a situation to occur in the face of consecutive victories. However, this kind of psychology will become more and more serious as the game progresses. In fact, I am very glad that we are playing now The Western Conference finals instead of the finals. If this happens in the finals, then we are really in danger. After all, the Spurs are not the Bulls. Among the Spurs, only Barkley has the experience of the finals, and he still has the experience of failure , we have people like Hakeem, Clyde, and Robert who have won championships playing in the team. As long as they are there, we will not lose the chain at the most critical moment, but young people must learn to accept setbacks. Think about what everyone has achieved after last year's finals. I think everyone has gained something that you can't get in normal games. Looking at our regular season games this year, if there is no experience and lessons from last year's failure, I think There is no glory this year. This year, we will make a comeback, we can no longer fail, we can no longer be a stepping stone for others, this year's victory will definitely belong to us, and we are destined to be champions."

As Lao Tang said the last sentence, the Rockets players also stood up and started shouting.

Looking at the excited Rockets players, Lao Tang took out the tactical information prepared in advance.

The comprehensive explanation started, and it took an hour of eloquence for Lao Tang to finish explaining this material.

Looking at Lao Tang who had finished his work, Tiger walked to the front of the conference room and said, "Guys, in fact, yesterday's game, you played really?????? It stinks, hehe, it's true , not talking about your technical aspects, but your psychology, you have lost a championship heart yesterday, a heart to pursue victory. But today I see this heart coming back, I hope the next During the first game, you can let the Spurs know that the dignity of the championship is not so easy to trample on."

After saying this, Tiger just looked at the Rockets players so quietly.

Silent and quiet, but full of publicity and agitation.

At this moment, in fact, everyone discovered that the real core of the Rockets is this young man.

This young man who created a new rocket single-handedly.

After a new understanding and understanding, the second game of the Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and the Spurs started.

What the Spurs didn't expect was that the Rockets in front of them had completely changed their appearance, with more aggressive offense and defense, that kind of smooth offense, iron-like defense, sharp fast break, and a half-court offense as stable as Mount Tai. , the familiar rocket is back.

What this return brings to the Rockets' home fans is happiness, joy, wanton celebration after dunks, and shocking praise after a wonderful cooperation.

What this return brings to the Spurs is despair, frustration, helplessness after being ravaged, and the pain of breaking through the entire defense system.

From the first second of the game, the Rockets have mastered the rhythm of the field, and this control is from beginning to end.

Without a moment of relaxation, looking at the Rockets in this state, the Spurs could only hand in their guns and admit defeat.

102:86 after the game
The Rockets won the victory and tied the big score to 1:1.

After the game, someone asked Popovich why there was such a big difference in the performance of the Spurs in the two games. Popovich replied: The second game is the real performance of the Rockets. We have achieved our goal, now let's look at our home game.

Hearing these words, Tiger snorted, and Tiger simply said a word: Look at me, the game has just started, some people will be disappointed, we are destined to be champions.
