Chapter 128 (120) Qiaoli Yao Core
The loss to the Suns didn't make the Rockets feel too frustrated. After all, it is not a shame to lose to the leader when the number one star is absent. ESPN commented on this article, saying that the confrontation between the new and old overlords of the league ended with the Suns winning, but the Rockets were not losers.The Suns' style of play that emphasizes pick-and-rolls, strengthens outside three-pointers, and speeds up the pace is exactly what the Rockets have advocated in recent years.After winning the championship, this advanced tactical concept was learned and imitated by other teams, and the Rockets should hold their heads up and be proud.

In fact, this statement is somewhat unfair to Suns coach D'Antoni.In this world, he is the first NBA coach to carry forward the hit&run tactics.D'Antoni achieved great success in European basketball in his early years and was elected as the best coach in the Italian league twice.He also worked as an assistant coach in the NBA. Although this tactical concept may be used for reference by the Rockets, it is more derived from his understanding and summary of basketball in his many years of work.

1月7日火箭来到斯台普斯客战湖人。阿特金斯被交易到爵士后，莫.威廉姆斯出任首发，他在组织上有所不足但投篮能力出色。这次科比倒是放下巨星架子为队友作嫁衣裳，他化身控卫打出了27+5+10，威廉姆斯在他的带动下也发挥出色得到了21分。在关键的第四节湖人坚决打内线连续造成姚明犯规，使得砍下了30+8的小巨人6犯出场。最终湖人7分险胜对手捍卫了主场。

The pressure of criticism came after this loss.It is nothing to say that losing to the Suns, but the Lakers can be called the Rockets' old enemy. They have been eliminated by the Rockets and sent home for two consecutive years.Now that the Lakers have lost F3, they have won two games against the Rockets.The media did not attack Tang Shuai, but praised Van Gundy to the sky.In particular, Yahoo Sports dug up the news that Alexander once wanted to hire Van Gundy, and there was no lack of ridicule towards the Rockets in his words.

Fortunately, no one in the Rockets questioned Tang Shuai's prestige, and no one dared to ask questions such as whether it would be better to replace Van Gundy.Instead, Dawson communicated with Yuan Fei in private. After all, Lao Tang's contract is about to expire, and depending on his physical condition, he probably won't continue.

"I am very aware of Rudy's shortcomings. He is too indulgent and gives players too much space." Yuan Fei analyzed: "It is OK to have a superstar like Tracy who can control the whole game. When Tracy rests, our performance plummets. It is because Rudy trusts the players too much and treats the players as adults. And Van Gundy is like an elementary school teacher who treats the players like children and explains every detail on the field to them. Good for taking a bad team to the playoffs, but not for a championship-caliber team."

Dawson nodded again and again, convinced of this.From this perspective, Tomjanovich, Phil. Jackson and Rick. Adelman routines are relatively close.For example, Zen Master Jackson is a famous coach who doesn't like to call timeouts. He likes to let players think for themselves and solve problems by themselves.Yuanfei took a fancy to Adelman as his successor, which can be regarded as the same line of succession.

The next question the two discussed was - who is the leader of the team?Lao Tang is a good man, and he will not command the players like Fan Tuzi, so there must be a leader among the players to command everyone.In the past, McGrady was the leader on the court, and Dameng was the leader in the locker room. Now both of them are gone. Although this team is still talented and effective, it lacks energy.

1月9日，火箭客场战胜掘金，比卢普斯发威三分球9投5中得到了34分11助攻，姚明也有30+11进账。

It was another rare two-day break after the game, and Yuan Fei used his private relationship to invite Yao Ming to dinner again. The content of the discussion this time was how to establish Yao Ming's authority as a leader.

On January 1, the Rockets challenged the Mavericks away.The team arrived in Dallas by plane in the morning, and the itinerary was about the same as usual. After the players had a moderate rest at noon, they came to the venue for adaptation training in the afternoon, and played games after the dinner break.

After more than an hour of training in the afternoon, Wang Yuanfei came to the training ground panting. "I'm sorry everyone, I have something to do at school today, so I couldn't take the same plane with you." He apologized with a smile.

The players didn't take it seriously. After all, data analysts don't need to go to every away game with the team. Besides, this young man has a special status. Who would dare to be serious with him.

But Yao Ming dare!
"Don't do this next time. We attach great importance to the Dallas game. Everyone really wants to win against the Mavericks. When the team needs you, you should show up." Yao Ming criticized Yuan Fei mercilessly.

"Yes!" Yuan Fei had a correct attitude and went to report to Tang Shuai. After receiving his affirmation, he stopped the training and publicly reviewed it with the players.

"I am a team manager. I did not take the lead in complying with the team's schedule and did not participate in the previous training, which affected the team's training plan to a certain extent. I formally apologize to everyone." Yuan Fei apologized to the players and staff very seriously: "Yao is the leader of our team. Even he can't stand to criticize me, which shows that I have many shortcomings in normal times, which may have caused some players. win."

The clever Billups nodded secretly, the little boss is playing a trick, and this is to help Yao Ming.Even the small boss has to accept Yao Ming's criticism, which player can not accept it?If you don't accept it, just wait to be traded.

But most players don't think like Chauncey. After all, the old Americans don't have so many communication skills as the Chinese.The upright Bosh was still worried about Yao Ming, but when Yuanfei apologized, he felt relieved.Pulzbilla was even more surprised, the difference between the atmosphere of the Rockets and the teams he had stayed in before was too great.Why does the little boss apologize to the players for being late for a while?It seems that this team is really good, business-like, and fair enough.

Yao Ming also struck while the iron was hot, and said a few words earnestly before going on the court, encouraging everyone to strive for victory and strive to kill the Mavericks for the first time in the season.

Sure enough, the Rockets played extremely hard. Although Nowitzki still felt hot shooting, Bosh repeatedly defended around the front to curb him from catching and shooting.Nuo Tianwang finally made two shots, and the defender in front of him was replaced by Varejao.Tian Wang took out his good body contact and stepped forward to probe the shot. Unexpectedly, Varejao fell down as soon as he touched his body, and Nowitzki suffered an offensive foul instead.

Containing Nowitzki does not mean that the Mavericks' offense can be contained.Terry, Finley, and Stackhouse are all good scorers, but the Rockets also blossomed today. Reed scored 8 points on 6-of-25 three-pointers, Billups also hit two three-pointers and scored 12+8, and Jefferson scored 9 points on 4-of-21 three-pointers.Coupled with Yao Ming's 30 points, the Rockets finally overturned the Mavericks away with 126:114.

次日火箭回到主场背靠背再战篮网。篮网刚刚和猛龙完成了一笔5换1的大交易，用莫宁等3名球员加上2个选秀权换来了加拿大飞人文斯.卡特。可调整后的他们仍不是火箭的对手，姚明面对代替莫宁首发的科林斯轻松砍下20+10，而比卢普斯三分球7投6中贡献35分射爆了篮网巨星基德。85:90，火箭树立姚核心后取得两连胜。

　During this period of time, the plot has been a bit dull, and it is to pave the way for the next big turning point.
