Because of the two-day competition, Tang Tian only arranged one day of training, and during the day of the next day, he gave the players a holiday.

By the afternoon, when the players showed up in the locker room, he noticed that Maddie didn't look awake.

“T-mac？” Tang Tian looked at Maddie and said.

"Coach." Maddie looked up.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay, my cat made a fuss in the middle of the night last night." Madison paused and said.

"If you're sleepy, go sleep now."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter." Maddie waved her hand.

Tang Tian nodded suspiciously, and then began to pick up the tactics board and arrange the tactics for the night with the players.

The three big defeats put the Warriors in the same desperate situation as the Jazz team at the beginning.

However, unlike the Jazz, the patience of Golden State fans has been worn out with the defeat after defeat, and Golden State is the largest Chinese gathering place in the United States, and in the last game of the series between the two sides, many local Chinese fans poured into the arena.

These fans wore red rocket jerseys and held Yao Ming and Tang Tian's big-headed KT boards high, which looked particularly eye-catching in the stadium.

The arrival of these fans also boosted the morale of the Rockets.

After the game started, Yao Ming was also excited to play, not only still dominating the game on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.

The two sides played more than 5 minutes in the opening game, and the score on the court was 18-6, of which Yao Ming alone contributed 10 points, plus 5 boards, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

The Warriors look to be collapsing faster than they did in the previous three games.

But maybe he was too excited, Yao Ming's physical strength was consumed quickly.

Tang Tian replaced Yao Ming off the field in advance, and let Maddie continue to stay on the court to lead the team.

Yao Ming went off the court, but the Rockets' strategy did not change, and they still played inside, but the offensive player was changed from Yao Ming to Millsap.

After a season of training, Millsap's skills improved greatly from the beginning of the season, and he managed to score his first single against the Jackson defense.

The fans at the scene watched a burst of despair, the Warriors were about to be scuttled to death by the Rockets' two interior lines.

Richardson hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the home team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back, Millsap was still playing with the ball under the basket, and Jackson fouled early this time.

The old Nelson on the sidelines saw that the momentum was not right, and with a big wave of his hand, Harrington replaced Biedrins off the court, and it seemed that he was ready to play the game in advance.

The dead ball came back, and it was still the Rockets' possession.

Blake then handed the ball to Millsap, who held the ball and hit it with his back, and the Warriors did get it.

Millsap's passing ability was not as good as Yao Ming's, but Nelson Sr.'s substitution was too obvious, and he immediately distributed the ball to Hayes on the other side, and Hayes attracted the help defense and then split Maddy, who got an open three-point shot.

"Bang!"

It's a pity that Maddie's shot was short, and the basketball jumped out of the basket.

The Warriors quickly countered, and Davis received the ball and scored on a quick breakaway layup.

The Rockets didn't pay much attention to it, and the Warriors deserved these points.

Tang Tian looked up at the scorer at this time.

The Rockets' offense, the same tactic, after a few passes, Maddie received the ball again, but the difference was that this time the Warriors were a little faster, and when Maddie jumped, Ellington pounced on him a meter in front of him.

Maddie meets the defense's shot...... The box hasn't been touched.

This turned out to be a three-not-touch!

The audience cheered.

The Warriors pushed back and Richardson's layup caused Blake's beater to foul.

Tang Tian frowned at this time, the previous ball Maddie's big vacancy was not very sought, and it was even more abnormal for the defense to shoot three non-sticks from a meter away at the moment, it seemed that not sleeping well last night had a big impact on him.

He pointed at Alston and motioned for him to come on and replace Maddie.

Richardson hit both free throws, and the margin on the court was reduced to just five points.

The Rockets' offense, Blake's three-pointer finally allowed the Rockets to continue scoring.

But in retrospect, Alstom's dislocation allowed Davis to successfully play 2-plus-1.

That's not all, looking back, Alston made a low-level dribbling error when he broke through, and dribbled the ball directly out of the field.

Team Rocket called a timeout.

"What are you doing? Yes? Why do you think you've won? Tang Tian yelled at his players for the first time, he didn't know what was going on, but the team's state tonight was even worse than at the beginning of the season.

The players all lowered their heads, and Tang Tian finally slammed the tactical board in anger.

It was an angry signal, but it didn't help the team to salvage the situation on the pitch.

Maddy and Alston were in terrible form tonight, and in the end, the Rockets lost to the Warriors 91-96 despite Yao Mai's efficient 32 points, and suffered their first playoff loss.

After the game, Tang Weather directly refused to be interviewed by reporters.

He can accept the loss, but this inexplicable loss is really difficult for him to accept.

After yelling at the players in the locker room, he was still angry and sat in the coach's office panting.

If it weren't for his restraint, he would have dragged Maddie and Alston into his office alone right now.

"Boom~"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Tang Tian took a deep breath.

"Who?"

"It's me, Tom." Outside the door, Thibodeau's voice could be heard.

"Come in."

Xibodu came in and saw that Tang Tian's anger had not subsided, and he turned around and closed the door.

"We just lost one game, so you don't have to be too angry." Thibodeau spoke.

"No, it's a very bad sign, these guys think they've won, but this is the playoffs, this kind of attitude, even if you can get to the next round, against the Spurs, against the Suns, how to play?" Tang Tian thinks more, which is why he has always been strict with the team, the strength of the Suns or Spurs is much stronger than the two opponents they encountered in the first two rounds, and the strength of this Rockets team is only four or six at most when they play with all their might.

"Yes, but maybe the next one will be better." Thibodeau hesitated and said.

Noticing Xibodeo's expression, Tang Tian glanced at him suspiciously, then turned his head and vaguely guessed something.

"T-mac and Raff, went out last night?" Tang Tian then asked.

The team will not interfere in the private lives of the players, but the coaching staff has assistant coaches who are responsible for collecting information about the players, because Tang Tian has too many things to deal with, and this kind of thing is here first.

"Yes." Thibodeau hesitated, but finally nodded, "They went to the local pub last night and didn't come back until the next morning. ”

"!" After Tang Tian listened, he slapped the table angrily.
