Chapter 814
Because Yaoming and Francis are not on the same channel at all, Boss Fu's most suitable tactics are run-and-gun and chaotic play, but Yaoming's height and speed are destined to make it impossible for him to truly integrate into this fast basketball style in his life.
The tactic that is also suitable for the name of the drug is positional warfare, which uses the advantage of height and superior touch to solve the battle on the inside. In this way, the time of Boss Ferdin's possession of the ball will naturally be greatly reduced, but it seems a bit wasteful to treat Boss Fergus as a simple pitcher.
So after a season of running-in, no matter how Tomjanovic wants to break his head, he can't think of a team tactic that combines the name of the drug and the boss of the family. In the end, in desperation, Rudy could only use the most stupid method, this solution sounds a little helpless, the cooperation between them only exists in the blocking and dismantling tactics, but when the two people are on the same frequency, it is really pitiful.
In addition, he can only be the main attacker for a period of time, and the name of the medicine is the main attacker for a period of time. But this arrangement can't give full play to the strength of the two guys, so it would be strange if the Rockets' results could be stable.
It is precisely in order to solve the contradiction between the name of the drug and the boss of the god, and in the free agent market this summer, Alexander finally let out the bloodletting. He understands a truth, only teams with good results can attract fans, and the Rockets have the golden sign of the drug name, and their influence in Asia is unlimited, but the roots of the Rockets are in the United States after all, in Houston. The American people don't care if there is a big man from China on the team, they just care about whether the team can win or not.
So in this summer, veteran Jumai Howard came to the team, and David Wesley came to Houston, and formed Houston's starting five with drug name, Boss F., and old cats. When Wesley first arrived, people thought it would be the moment of the Rockets' revival, but the reality poured cold water on people's heads.
At the beginning of the new season, there were three wins and six losses, not to mention that such a result is determined to hit the championship, but it is a bit too much to say on those bad teams that are bad and earn the top picks.
The name of the medicine is a good player, Boss Fu is a good player, and the old cat is also a good player, but when these players with different styles come together, the chemistry is really not very gratifying.
The arrival of Wesley and Howard did not play a role in sorting out the Rockets' offense or making a conciliator between the drug name and Boss Fergus, but because of their arrival, the Rockets' already tense ball distribution became more unreasonable!
Originally, the name of the medicine and the eldest of the two people were a little unhappy with each other because of the right to shoot. Now Wesley and Howard are coming to get a piece of the pie again, and when the wolf has more meat and less meat, it would be strange if they could play well.
After the Knicks and Raptors game, it turned out that what the Rockets needed most now was a qualified point guard who was unpretentious and unpretentious, willing to be a wedding dress for others, and would only show his fangs when the team needed it.
The Houston Five, who had a premonition of the crisis, finally came together at this time. Although it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the name of the drug and Boss Fo, after all, it is the Houston Five Tigers who had a media boom before the season began. If Wesley had been sidelined from the Rockets as soon as he arrived, there would have been panic and turmoil within the Rockets.
"It's time for the team to make a change, and if the team goes on like this, it's not even a championship challenge, even the playoffs are in danger!"
The first to speak was the old cat Mobley, who has always been very low-key in the team due to his status and rarely expressed his opinion on the team's internal affairs. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have status, on the contrary, Mobley is the longest-serving Rockets in the starting five, except for Boss F. Mobley has a prestige that neither the name of the drug nor Howard can match, and basically he just doesn't say it, and no one dares to refute it.
Boss Fu still looked full of fighting spirit: "It's time for change, Da Yao, Zhu Mai, David, I don't like the feeling of losing, I don't like it at all." β
David Wesley smiled bitterly and said, "I don't like it either, I'm not here to retire! I want to fight while my old legs are still running, and I don't want to be scolded by the fans and those damn reporters after every game!"
On this matter, the five people reached a rare consensus. This eased the nervousness of head coach Tomjanovic and team manager Dawson sitting on the sidelines a little.
In fact, Rudy didn't like Boss Fro, being late, drinking, hanging out in nightclubs, such players were never what he needed. But it's a pity that the team owner Alexander, who doesn't think so, after all, compared to Francis's blood-boiling bloody play, the attack of the drug name is too bland!
And for so many years, the team's top management has always regarded Francis as the hope of the team's revival, and I believe Alexander thinks so too. As for the name of the drug, he is indeed a sweet spot in Alexander's eyes now, because Alexander regards the name of the drug as a stepping stone that can be used to expand the Chinese market of rockets, and it is his tool for collecting money.
"If no one objects, I thinkγγγγγγ Rudy Tomjanovich was interrupted by Dawson as soon as he spoke.
"I guess it's okay?" Dawson glanced at Rudy apologetically, apparently he was sent by Alexander to attend the meeting today: "David passes the ball and organizes the offense; the medicine is on the inside, Francis and Mobley are on the outside, and Jumai is in the middle." Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
After Dawson finished speaking, he deliberately gave Rudy a color, so angry that Tomjanovich almost jumped up and gave Dawson a big ear scraper. What is this TM called a solution? What kind of tactic is this? It's nothing more than selling dog meat on a sheep's head, right? Nothing has been solved, and the five people are working on their own, which only makes the team more chaotic.
Rudy Tomjanovich knew that this must have been Alexander's idea, and it seemed that Alexander still had no intention of giving up on helping Francis to take the throne. It's just that the team is destined to struggle in the mire and nothing will change.
"That's it!" Dawson was about to announce the disbandment, but Rudy quit, and he finally couldn't help but stand up.
"Who said that this can be decided?" Rudy Tomjanovich glared at Dawson fiercely, and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Dawson, don't forget that I am the boss of the team, the head coach! β
Without looking at Dawson's increasingly embarrassed face, Rudy continued: "Listen, the team's tactics do have to change, but not in that stupid way. You've got to listen to me if you want to win! It's time for you to take responsibility, and you're the heart of the team in the next game against the Knicks. What should you do, I don't think I need to say, the others, Steve and Mobley, you are Yao's right and left hand, and even though we can't play that kind of beautiful, passionate basketball in the future, we can win the game. β
The implementation of the Princeton tactic with the name of the drug as the core, this is the most suitable tactic for the rocket at this stage that Rudy has come up with after more than a year of exploration. Although the team's overall offensive level will inevitably be dragged down, of course, this is also something that cannot be helped, people can't ask Dayao to drag his huge body and run as fast as Lamar.
And if the tactics are positioned on defense and based on positional warfare, the role of Steve Francis will inevitably be weakened a lot. He can only play the role of an outside raider or a pitcher or a pick-up point, but this is also something that cannot be helped, he is too unstable. The instability here refers to the fact that Francis plays emotionally and easily gets hot.
Steve Francis felt uncomfortable and wanted to refute, but seeing Rudy Tomjanovich's sharp gaze, he gave up. Boss Fergus didn't want to offend the team's meritorious manager, and Rudy was right, what he needed most now was indeed to win.
However, if Rudy's tactics don't work, simply put, if he can't beat the Knicks in the next game, Francis doesn't mind standing up and making a mutiny again.
Rudy Tomjanovic eventually won with the prestige he had accumulated over the years, and although it annoyed the Rockets' rebounding Mr. Alexander, he held back. Alexander needs a win now, preferably in a game against a strong team. The Rocket must be reborn from the declining Nirvana, only then can he safely survive the crisis and continue to make money.
It's not that Alexander didn't want to change an obedient head coach to sit in that position, but how easy is it to say?
On November 11, 2004, at the Toyota Center Arena in Houston, Texas, the New York Gang and the Houston Five Tigers were about to begin.
For this game, with the exception of the Houstonians, they were almost one-sidedly on the Knicks' side. It is not difficult for a discerning person to see that the so-called Five Tigers of Team Rocket are a big joke at all, and the New York bandits are the real dangerous elements.
"Knicks Vs Rockets, Five Tigers are destined to be a joke!"
This is the headline of Houston Documentary Sports, and the article is sharp in Chinese and directly aimed at the Rockets' rebounding Alexander and general manager Dawson, saying that the so-called Rocket Five Tigers they built in the summer will finally be seen clearly in this game, and it is just a beautiful bubble.
It can be said that before the game started, the Knicks already had a very big advantage off the court, and people felt that the future of the Rocket Five Tigers was worrying.
"Let's welcome the giant from the East, the overlord medicine name under the basket!"
The DJ shouted heartbreakingly, and the Houston fans seemed really cooperative, not at all like Howard, Wesley, Joan Barry, Jackson, and Francis who had to deal with two casually when they came out. They really like the name of the medicine and like this humble, hard-working Chinese man.
