Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 126 Fight to the last moment
The Rockets won a crucial game away. After the game, Lao Tang was also very satisfied with the performance of the Rockets players.

On the way back to the hotel, Lao Tang said to the Rockets players: "Tomorrow morning's training is cancelled, everyone should have a good rest. However, the afternoon training is still going on, do you understand?"

The Rockets players all became excited after hearing that there was no need for training in the morning, but when they heard that training would continue in the afternoon, they lost their energy all of a sudden.

Seeing the Rockets players like this, Lao Tang couldn't laugh or cry, and said loudly: "Why, I'm not satisfied. Well, let's continue training tomorrow morning, and the training volume will be doubled. Do you agree?"

This is a complete threat. When the Rockets players heard it, they were all dumbfounded, and they heard Lao Tang say there: "I kindly let you rest for a long time and sleep in. You can push back and forth, then I can only increase training. Measured, lest you have no place to exert your energy."

Mark Jackson, sitting in the front row, immediately interjected: "No, no, no, coach, we are very grateful for your gift, you are as great as King Arthur's knight, you are the God in our hearts, you are the saint Joan of Arc is reincarnated, don’t you think so, brothers.”

Mark Jackson hurriedly pulled in all the Rockets players, and all the Rockets players also came to their senses, nodding their heads hastily. All of a sudden, the voices of flattery came one after another.

Lao Tang was also elated when he heard it, and nodded endlessly.

But there was a sentence just now, no matter how you think about it, it is not a taste, it is that sentence.

After thinking for a moment, Lao Tang roared angrily, "Mark, you bastard, who you say is the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, who you say is a woman."

Mark Jackson looked at the enraged old Tang, shrunk his neck and argued, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, you are the reincarnation of the Lionheart King, the reincarnation of the Lionheart King."

For a moment, the car roared with laughter, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Lao Tang gritted his teeth and said: "Tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, Mark, I want to see you in the training hall. Everyone else can have a holiday, but you have something to do. I will make a physical fitness plan for you. If I can't see you You, you walk back to Houston after the series."

Mark Jackson looked depressed, and Hory beside him said helplessly, "Dude, I can't help you anymore, so you can do it yourself."

Mark Jackson raised his head, looked at Lao Tang so affectionately and said, "Coach, don't, I really know I was wrong."

Lao Tang didn't even lift his eyelids, and said, "I'll wait for you in the training hall."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing Mark? Jackson's appearance of wanting to cry but no tears, everyone in the Rockets laughed heartlessly.

While the Rockets were joking in a relaxed atmosphere, the Spurs were in dire straits. After losing to the Rockets at home again, the Spurs' locker room was full of mist.

When Popovich didn't enter the locker room, his face was still full of sadness, but when he opened the door and entered, his face had completely changed to normal.

This effect is faster than the face-changing of Chinese Sichuan opera. Seeing the silent Spurs, Popovich pretended to be surprised and said: "Guys, what's wrong with you, have you collectively lost money?"

A light joke relieved a lot of tension in the room.

The Spurs players smiled heartily.

Popovich continued: "I know that you are in a bad mood now, but I hope you will go home today and get a good night's sleep. Then, when I arrive at the training ground tomorrow, I hope to see a player who has put down his burden. Spurs. Everyone should know that our regular season results are nearly 20 games behind the Rockets. It is not normal to lose one or two games to them. Don’t think too much. The Rockets are not invincible. Think about our first game Well, everyone, go home quickly and have a good rest, old man, I have an appointment tonight."

There was a good-natured laugh from the Spurs players.

Popovich tried his best to appease the emotions of the Spurs players. Looking at the Spurs players leaving in a file, Popovich rubbed his temples and muttered in a low voice: "Is there really nothing I can do? Not reconciled."

Popovich, who returned home, watched the Rockets video all night, racking his brains to find a way to defeat the Rockets.

The night passed quickly.

On the second morning, Mark Jackson pushed away from the empty training hall. He was dizzy at that time. He took out his phone tremblingly and called Lao Tang. After the phone rang a few times, a lazy voice sounded and said : "Here, I'm Rudy Tomjanovich."

Mark Jackson asked in a tearful tone, "Coach, I'm Mark, why didn't you come to the training hall?"

Lao Tang was obviously taken aback, and immediately said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday, this morning's individual training was cancelled, I went to bed too early yesterday, so I forgot about it, you should also know, people are old The memory is not very good, that you have already gone to the training hall, or I will go there right away."

Mark Jackson was already crying, he didn't want to play like this, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly replied: "No, no, coach, you can continue to rest."

Hurry up to hang up the phone. Mark Jackson looked at the empty training hall with tears in his eyes.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the fourth game between the Rockets and the Spurs.

Before the start of the game, Popovich was not arranging any tactics, but quietly looked at the Spurs players, and then said slowly: "Guys, I don't want to be arranging any tactics today, because these days I put The tactics that can be arranged are all arranged, and the game depends on you. As a coach, I just want to say one thing to you, that is, any team can be defeated. There is no such thing in the history of the NBA. This team is undefeated, what you have to do is to fight until the last moment, never give up until the last moment, even if you fail this year, you still have a chance to make a comeback next year, but if you lose your fighting spirit, Then you lose everything, can you fight till the end?"

Popovich's voice is deep but infectious.

The Spurs players got up and gathered together, David Robinson, said: "Everyone think about the road we have traveled, we have come here, there is no need to turn back, we can only move forward, we can only fight to the end a moment."

"fighting"

"fighting"

"fighting"

The Spurs generals uttered a terrifying roar.

The Spurs, who had already fought their last battle, had already let go of everything at this moment.

The only thought in mind is to beat the Rockets.

The game between the two sides started in the turbulent mood of the Spurs. At the beginning of the game, Olajuwon was keenly aware of the psychological changes of the Spurs. The Spurs played tougher and more aggressive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Olajuwon immediately reminded everyone in the Rockets to pay attention.

The toughness of the Spurs, coupled with the home court advantage, the Spurs actually had the advantage in the first quarter.

Olajuwon and Garnett were overwhelmed by the Spurs Twin Towers in the interior confrontation.

Losing the advantage of the inside line, Barkley also frequently attacked the Rockets' defensive circle from the outside line.

In just 5 minutes, small forward Horry, the fulcrum of the Rockets' perimeter defense, had fouled twice.

Lao Tang had to replace Saulius. During the substitution, Horry whispered in Saulius' ear: "Sboga, be careful, today's Spurs are very different."

Saulius nodded solemnly. Seeing Saulius enter the field, Barkley just raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Barkley knew that the white boy in front of him was not easy to deal with. It seemed that today's game was not so easy to handle.

The game continued, Saulius stuck to Barkley's body like a plaster, knocked away and continued to stick.

After falling down, he got up and continued to climb up. Saulius was like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, entangled Barkley tightly.

The rocket, which gradually stabilized the situation, began to counterattack.

Mark? Jackson, with the feeling of being let off the pigeons, began to back-beat 'Little General' Johnson.

The success of three consecutive strong hits made the Spurs have to strengthen their defense against Mark Jackson.

However, looking at Jackson who started to pass the ball, the Spurs felt helpless once.

They didn't know that Jackson's desire to attack would be so strong today. There was no way for Mark to be consciously let go by the head coach. It wouldn't be very pleasant for anyone.

The entire first quarter of the game was spent in the entanglement of the Spurs. It is the most helpless for players who have not shown their power before to start to explode.

At 27:24 of the first quarter, the Spurs led by three points.

After the start of the second quarter, the Rockets made another sacrifice, their own quick attack, watching the already prepared Spurs, Lao Tang beckoned, Saulius and Bodiroga began to change positions frequently, and the dual core broke out The attack power out of the way made the Spurs blind for a while.

Whoever defends will start running without the ball, and whoever is not let go will organize the attack.

Coupled with the fact that both of them can attack with the ball on their own, and both have precise three-pointers, the Rockets' attack power doubles.

Seeing the seamless cooperation of the two Europeans on the field, the toughness of the Rockets inside Garnett and Big Ben.

The Spurs once again fell into crisis.

At this time, the Spurs need a hero to stand up, otherwise the Spurs really don't need to continue playing.

Barkley who stood up again, the player with the most personality, stood up when the Spurs needed it most.

After two consecutive mid-range shots, I watched the first half of the game with 17 seconds left.

Barkley looked at Saulius beside him, and said, "Boy, you are very good, but you still can't stop me."

Saulius said indifferently: "There is no way to stop you, then I will pester you, as long as the Rockets win the game in the end."

Barkley nodded, and said, "You are really willing to play. There are really too few players like this now, but this is the game, kid."

After finishing speaking, with a forced acceleration, he used his own strength to break open a breakthrough space, and with two strides, he reached the rocket's inside line.

He made an arc in the paint area, avoiding Garnett's defensive range, faced Ben's block, dodged the palm of Ben's block, made a heavy dunk, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand basket.

At the same time as the dunk ended, the second quarter of the game between the two sides also ended.

Watching the guy who was there after the slam dunk was there to incite the fans to cheer.

Popovich's mentality was a little out of balance, and he was slowly regaining his composure.

We also have such great players, why can't we beat our opponents.

Looking at the Rockets players walking toward the player tunnel with a relaxed face, Popovich gritted his teeth and thought: The Spurs will never admit defeat, and the Spurs will definitely fight to the last moment.

And looking at today's tough Spurs, Lao Tang also smiled coldly, thinking: If you want to work hard, you will, won't we.

　Ask for everything you can ask, thank you from the heavens.
