Chapter 11: Does Your Face Hurt?

The importance of coaches to a team is self-evident, but even in the NBA, there are no more than five that can respond on the spot and have an immediate effect after a timeout.

Teague's ridicule was quite harsh for Tang Tian, full of prejudice.

But this is also the union, the country's attitude towards the yellow race, prejudice is a matter of course.

"Chuck, you hold the ball at the free-throw line when you attack, pull that Hincher out, and the others play off-ball pick-and-rolls and air cuts on either side, this Trail Blazers team is strong offensively, but average defensively."

"Opposite Rogrides is not accurate in three points, when Roy holds the ball, Will and Jose directly wrap it up, if Roy passes the ball to Aldridge, Paul, you go to fight him, don't let him shoot easily, as for Steve, you just need to follow Webster on the outside, that guy will only catch the ball and shoot."

Tang Tian spoke quickly, the offensive and defensive arrangements were clear, and the players understood everything.

The timeout was very fast, and when Tang Tian finished emphasizing some details, a long whistle sounded from the sidelines.

"Tang Tian completed his first timeout in the NBA, Trevor, what do you think is the possibility that the Rockets will come back from a timeout?" As soon as the timeout ended, Teague couldn't wait to speak.

“10%? Or 1%? Mike paused and said.

"Haha, Trevaux, you're not authentic." Teague burst out laughing, clearly pleased with Mike's answer.

"It's a bit brutal, but it's true, the Rockets' pick-and-roll tactics have been figured out, and their defense isn't good enough to deal with the Trail Blazers' talent, so ......"

"So this is the reality, maybe Tang Tian should regret standing up from the bench, so that at least the speculation will not become a reality." Teague smiled and gave his "friendly" advice.

Under the encouragement of the two commentators, the fans on the sidelines also kept their eyes on the field.

Everyone knows that the next round of offense and defense determines the content of today's media headlines.

Barria got the ball up front, but it was completely different from the previous rounds, and instead of calling for an inside pick-and-roll, he handed the ball to Hayes.

Hayes responds with the ball near the free throw line.

Watching the tactical adjustments on the field, Teague and Mike, and even the fans, were stunned.

Then there was an unstoppable burst of laughter.

"God! He actually let a short center carry the ball, is that his adjustment? That's his adjustment! Teague couldn't stop laughing.

Mike on the side also shook his head with a wry smile, Hayes is not tall enough, he has no passing vision at all in the face of Hinchel, and he does not have the ability to hold the ball alone, this is simply a bad choice.

But their smiles didn't stop.

"Bang!"

Millsap received a pass from Hayes at this time and scored directly under the basket.

Syllable!

Their faces were firmly slapped by Tang Tian, and their smiles instantly froze!

"What just happened?" Even the fans were stunned, their attention was all on Hayes, and they didn't notice what was happening.

However, Trail Blazers head coach Panagio slammed to his feet from the bench.

As a coach, he is the most tactically savvy.

After Hayes held the ball, the two Rockets guards stepped up and made two off-ball blocks on both wings in an instant, after the block, Novak went out, Millsap went inside, and Hayes shook the ball with a ground pass, and Millsap received the ball and scored directly.

Perfect tactics!

He turned his head in shock to look at Tang Tian on the other side.

Tang Tian leaned on the bench at this time, his expression was calm, as if all this was expected by him.

"It actually scored, and it seems that Team Rockets are lucky." Teague didn't see the Rockets' offense too clearly, and saw that the Rockets actually scored, and attributed it more to luck.

The Trail Blazers' offense, Rodriguez went to the frontcourt to hand the ball to Roy.

Roy had already scored three goals before and was on fire, but as soon as he got the ball at this time, the Rockets' two outside lines came directly to him.

Roy handled the ball quickly and immediately distributed it to Rodriguez.

Rodriguez has a big open space on the outside, and it's not appropriate for him not to shoot.

"Bang!"

As Tang Tian said, Rodriguez's outside three-point line was very weak, and the ball hit the front of the basket directly after the shot, and almost came to a three-point loss.

There was an uproar at the scene, and after the timeout came back, the Rockets played one offense and one defense in a row.

The rebound was picked up by Millsap's long arm, and the Rockets advanced to the frontcourt.

Panagio couldn't sit still, Tang Tian gave him the feeling that it was too oppressive, as if everything in the Trail Blazers was clear at a glance.

"Watch out for off-ball pick-and-rolls on the wings!" Back on the defensive end, he reminded his players loudly.

The Rockets' offense is still Hayes holding the ball in the middle.

The Trail Blazers quickly made defensive adjustments and did a good job of limiting the Rockets' off-ball pick-and-rolls on both wings.

"This time the Rockets won't have that much luck." Teague said in a deep voice, this time staring intently at the field.

Listening to Teague's explanation, Tang Tian couldn't help but smile.

This time it's not enough to slap your face and you want to do it a second time, won't it hurt if you hit it too much?

The Trail Blazers defended the Rockets' flank off-ball pick-and-roll, but the Rockets' offense didn't stop.

The blocking and pick-and-roll tactic can become a classic tactic because of his versatility.

Pick-and-roll with the ball, pick-and-roll without the ball, double pick-and-roll......

As a traverser, Tang Tian stood on the shoulders of giants, and his understanding of blocking and demolition tactics was not at all inferior to Old Man Sloane.

At this time, Hayes directly gave a hand-to-hand pass to Millsap, who was passing by, and then made a block.

Hincher and Aldridge felt the next set was completely blocked, and Millsap took the ball straight on.

In addition to his excellent court sense, Millsap already had an excellent half-volley jumper before entering the league.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound of entering the net, Millsap's mid-range score is again!

After the Rockets came back from a timeout, they scored two consecutive rounds of offense!

At this moment, Teague instantly shut up.

Tang Tian came back from a pause, and the Rockets were completely like a different team, and the two slaps hit him in the face with a hot pain.
