NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Tang Yu was temporarily relieved. He did not give too many instructions to the players during the intermission. He put Lowry and Curry on the court to replace Harden and Iverson to experiment with a double point guard combination.

Originally, he thought he could calmly accept his first victory in his coaching career, but the Mavericks team did not seem to want to surrender easily.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks, led by King Nowitzki, scored two consecutive attacks and beat the Rockets 5-0.

Tang Yu immediately called a timeout and replaced the '18-cm' man Ibaka to curb King Nowitzki. This German tank is really 'durable'. The Lakers did not admit defeat even though they were leading by so much.

Curry then used a three-pointer and a small floater to help the Rockets stabilize the situation and extinguish the Mavericks' counterattack.

The appearance of 18-card also immediately interfered with King Nowitzki on the offensive end, and Curry was a point that the Mavericks could not solve.

Tang Yu deliberately staggered the playing time of the "primary school student" and Barea. As long as you put Barea on, Tang Yu would replace Curry with Harden to match Barea and continue to ruthlessly single you out.

At the official timeout in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Rockets led the Mavericks by 22 points with 112-90.

The Mavericks did not surrender, but Tang Yu forced DNP to Yao Ming in the fourth quarter and kept Jordan playing on the court, which was quite effective.

After the timeout, Tang Yu replaced Curry with Carter. Two minutes later, the Mavericks surrendered. Both teams replaced all their main players and the game entered garbage time.

The final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at 127-102, and the Rockets defeated the Mavericks and won the game.

Tang Yu excitedly rushed into the court and hugged the players to celebrate.

This was the first victory of his coaching career, and the Rockets finally ended their nightmare six-game losing streak.

At the press conference after the game, Tang Yu accepted the media interview with a smile on his face.

"Coach Tang, are you satisfied with the team's performance today?"

"Very satisfied! The players are great. They implemented my tactics and played team basketball. Especially Curry and Harden, they stood up at the critical moment and helped the team stabilize the morale!"

"Tomorrow you will return to your home court to face the Memphis Grizzlies. Will you still play with tonight's lineup? Has Carter been confirmed to be on the bench?"

"We won with a new lineup tonight, but I will adjust the order of the starters and substitutes according to the opponent. The players in our team are ready to play at any time. Whoever performs well in training will play!"

With the Rockets' first victory, Curry also ushered in his first career night. Curry scored 40 points and 5 assists in the game, and made 8 of 16 three-pointers.

Harden also scored a double-double, contributing 21 points and 12 assists in the game.

In addition, Jordan played well on the bench, scoring 13 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. He and 18 Cards formed a complete nightmare for the opposing offensive players.

After returning to Houston overnight, they disbanded and went home directly. The atmosphere of the team finally eased, and the players began to smile, which also reduced Tang Yu's pressure a lot.

After returning home, Tang Yu went to forums and portals to see the fans' reactions after the Rockets won.

[The Rockets' upset victory over the Mavericks doesn't mean anything, they are still the last team in the league! ]

[The Mavericks are a strong team, and the Rockets' victory shows that they have made changes. Does Tang seem to have signs of enlightenment? ]

[If the Rockets can win a wave of consecutive victories in the future as Tang said, then I think Tang's tanking last season was correct! ]

[Guys, we can't forgive Tang Yu just because the Rockets only won one game. He is a complete liar. We have to continue to let him sell the team! 】

After winning a game, some fans have begun to be more rational, but the haters are still trying their best to make Tang Yu continue to sell the team.

With a helpless smile, Tang Yu closed his laptop and fell asleep...

......

The next day, Singles' Day!

The Houston Rockets welcomed the Memphis Grizzlies, who are also opponents in the Southwest Division, at home.

The Grizzlies have a good lineup this season and have begun to show signs of revival. They now have Mike Conley, O.J.-Mayor Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. They just need to wait for Gasol to grow.

Once Gasol completes the transformation, they will immediately become a strong team.

In the afternoon, Tang Yu called the team and Olajuwon, "Hakeem, I hope you can teach Serge's low-post footwork in your spare time."

"No problem, Tang, Serge is a talented player with a high basketball IQ. He has played in Europe.He has developed a good low-post offensive ability, and he will like my dream footwork! "

"Thank you Hakim, how is Yao Ming's situation now?"

"Yao Ming's physical condition this season is very good. It is a wise choice to shorten his playing time. If he maintains this well, I think he can play in the league for a few more years. ”

Tang Yu was very satisfied to hear Dream's evaluation of Yao Ming. Yao Ming has been ruthlessly fucked by everyone since he entered the league, overdrawing his career. The health-preserving style of play is what Yao Ming needs now.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yu began to prepare for tonight's game against the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies' attack points are concentrated on the main lineup, and their substitute lineup is very poor. Tang Yu is still ready to put Carter in the second lineup to score points.

The game started at 9 pm Western Time.

The Rockets players walked onto the court with confidence, and Tang Yu also stood on the sidelines to direct with a calm face.

The Rockets' attendance rate is still bleak. Maybe now, except for some die-hard fans and those who come to black Tang Yu, almost no one wants to watch the Rockets' game.

Maybe some people come for the 10,000 dollars during the break.

Tang Yu still continued the tactics of winning yesterday. Harden was responsible for organizing the offense, and Curry relied on his teammates to cover to finish.

The Rockets opened the game with Yao Ming on the court The situation on the court changed immediately after Yao Ming left the court at the first official timeout.

Carter and Jordan's appearance immediately accelerated the Rockets' offensive and defensive rhythm. The Grizzlies were obviously not prepared to deal with it, and the score was gradually widened.

Conley tried to catch up with the score through his personal ability, but the Rockets' defense made it difficult for him to break through. At the end of the half, the Rockets were already leading by as many as 15 points.

After the change of sides, the Grizzlies strengthened their defense and the Rockets' hit rate began to decline.

At the critical moment, Curry stepped up and hit three-pointers in a row to help the Rockets stabilize the situation.

In the last quarter, the Rockets did not give the visiting team any chances, and the Rockets always maintained a double-digit lead.

In the end, with Harden's fatal steal, the Rockets locked the victory and defeated the Grizzlies 120-105, ushering in two consecutive wins.

After the game, Tang Yu, who returned home, received a text message from Dream, praising his tactical arrangements and the outstanding performance of the players.
