Chapter 50
a victory.

It should have stabilized the Rockets' emotions, and their mentality should have recovered a lot from previous losses.

But some things backfired. They wanted to relax, so they had to ask the Miami Heat who were about to arrive in Houston.

In the training hall.

The Rockets players trained in silence, with very little laughter, which gave people a dull feeling.

In the strength room.

Qin Tao's face was covered with sweat, and he kept training with a stern expression.

After playing six games, he has some highlights, but more of them are many shortcomings.

of course.

If you want to be a blockbuster, it is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.

He still needs time to polish, and more importantly, he needs to maintain his own improvement trend. At least for now, he has not only become a stable rotation, but McHale has begun to reuse him.

After half an hour.

After Qin Tao finished his strength training, he started physical therapy for his body.

After a period of relaxation and recovery, the soreness, numbness and itching at the beginning have been reduced by about [-]%.

he knows.

These days of training, the body has basically adapted to this change.

Training is complete.

The coaching staff called them into the conference room to make a series of arrangements for the game on November 11.

The strength of the Heat is obvious to all, and everyone knows what their Big Three represent.

McHale's arrangement is also very interesting. He didn't set too many goals for the team, and only left a sentence of doing his best.

The players also acted very calmly, after all, they are not a team of the same level at all.

The meeting broke up.

Qin Tao and the others returned to their homes to rest, waiting for the Heat to arrive in Houston, so that they could compete with this group of people.

The next morning.

When Qin Tao came out of the training hall, he and other teammates did not return home, but waited for the evening game in the lounge of the training hall.

In the afternoon, there was a small-scale training match. Judging from the performance of the players, their condition has begun to recover, and they even feel quite good.

That night.

A large number of fans had already gathered in the small square outside the Toyota Center.

Although the team's home games are not satisfactory, but when it's time to support, they have to provide them with energy.

In the arena.

The Heat arrived before the Rockets. They had adapted to the venue early and were already waiting in the visiting team's locker room.

Erik Spoelstra, working out the night's plans for his players.

Pointing to the tactical board behind him, he sorted out the offense and defense meticulously, and even pointed out every detail to the players.

From this point of view, Spoelberg's ability to take over Pat Riley's coach has something to do with Riley's trust, but his ability and coaching attitude are also very good.

After talking about the tactical question, Spoelstra immediately aimed at the Rockets' arrow figure.

"James Harden this season really surprised me." Spoelstra did not hesitate to praise the star of the other team: "His destructive power to the defense has been fully demonstrated in just six games!"

"To be honest." Spoelstra made a rare joke: "I think the deal between the Thunder and the Rockets may make the former regret it in the future."

There was laughter in the locker room, they liked the relaxed atmosphere very much.

LeBron James stood up at this moment, pondered for a while, and said cautiously to Bosh on the side: "Also, although we have a huge advantage, the Rockets' power forwards don't seem to be soft bones."

Spoelstra nodded in agreement, "That's right. For our inside line, the Rockets' power forward group is quite a problem."

The Heat's lineup, because of the formation of the Big Three, they are really a bit stretched in terms of staffing in the penalty area and substitute lineup.

Especially their center position, because there is no high-quality or even usable blue-collar, Bosh has tried to play this position at the beginning of this season.

Like tonight's game.

The Heat's lineup is really the same as the Warriors a few years later. They will put Bosh at the center position, and the power forward position will be swayed by the old Rockets Sean Battier and LeBron James.

They jointly control the small forward position, the shooting guard is Dwyane Wade, and the point guard is Mario Chalmers, who once had a rivalry with James.

Judging from the Heat's lineup, they are completely one big with four small.

and.

Because Bosh's defensive efficiency has not been very high, and his style is more inclined to mid-range and long-range shots, and he is not good at attacking inside, so their inside defense has a very big problem.

but.

Can be regarded as the biggest favorite to win the championship, their equipment in other positions, and a large number of top veterans on the bench, this is their greatest heritage.

After all, their starting lineup already has at least two of the top ten players in the league.

Next.

Spoelstra started further arrangements for the Rockets' power forward position.

"Tonight, Chris will focus on the center position, and we will definitely empty the space inside the Rockets." Spoelstra said clearly: "The power forward position will continue our original arrangement, Sean will be the main player for the time being, and LeBron will be based on the status of the Rockets. , to replace Sean at the right time."

Battier and James nodded at the same time, after all, they really couldn't find a qualified starting power forward.

With their approval, Spoelstra smiled with satisfaction: "However, with your defense, although the Rockets' power forwards will be troublesome, they also have a limit."

Compared with the ease of the Heat, the Rockets are a bit dignified.

Especially the head coach McHale, although he had a record of 3 wins and 3 losses in the first season, he has already launched a series of bombardments on the Internet and other media.

thereafter.

If he can't reverse this kind of remarks, and can't lead the Rockets to achieve the desired rate of improvement, I am afraid that he will be the one who will eventually pack up, and it must be him, not a player who is not in good condition.

and so.

Under the arrangement of this game and the pressure from the outside world, McHale slapped himself in the face in public, changing his composure yesterday.

McHale rarely put pressure on the players, and even hinted very clearly that whoever's state still cannot be recovered, then this season's playing time will be limited to the greatest extent.

a time.

The atmosphere in the Rockets locker room became depressing, and everyone was silent, silently waiting to play.

moment.

When Harden got a little impatient, or didn't want to stay in this atmosphere, he went straight to the door of the locker room.

Very coincidental.

With the arrival of the team staff, they immediately walked to the court.

tonight.

They need to use a tenacious game to find their own state and appease the emotional fans.

If it ends in a disastrous defeat, I'm afraid they will fall into the quagmire this month, and the Rockets' market will also be greatly affected.
