Because of Yao Ming's existence, Tang Tian's previous thinking was all on "how to launch the attack from Yao Ming's point".

But Thibodeau's unintentional words reminded him of some memories of his previous life.

In the previous life, the Spurs had good offensive and defensive capabilities, but there was not much they could do against the historic Warriors.

It's not that the Warriors team played the Spurs with how explosive the three-point was when they played the Spurs, in fact, the Spurs did a very good job of limiting the Warriors' three-point points, and what really made them helpless was the Warriors' infinite air cut, which made the Spurs lose sight of one or the other.

This Spurs team has a good offense and defense, and is one of the strongest in history, but if you want to say that their only weakness is probably their age.

Infinite air cuts may not necessarily win, but in addition to running more offensive opportunities, it can also allow the Spurs' big three to expend a lot of energy on the defensive end, and it is not impossible to win.

"Tom, go get the coaching staff back together, I'm going to have a regular meeting."

"Now?" Thibodeau looked puzzled, didn't he just have a regular meeting this morning?

"It's now." Tang Tian said and stood up.

Seeing that Tang Tian was not joking, Xibodu nodded and followed him to go out immediately to summon people.

After the regular meeting, Tang Tian immediately called the players together and talked about the new tactics of the coaching staff.

The next game was just two days away, and the team was going to change the tactics they had used for a season at this time, and the players felt a little unbelievable after listening to it.

Thibodeau smiled helplessly when he saw the reaction of the players, in fact, an hour ago, the coaching staff also reacted in this way.

Kerr, on the other hand, seems to be a little excited, and the assistant coach, who has just transferred from the commentary box, is particularly excited about new things.

"We have no choice." Tang Tian finally said.

When the team members heard Tang Tian's words, they also knew that they couldn't win with their previous tactics, and then they all accepted it.

After all, Tang Tian had already led them here, and trust had become their instinct.

In two days, it is difficult for the Rockets to master a new tactic immediately, but fortunately, the tactic itself is not complicated, it is more of a test of the team's physical strength and tacit understanding.

The good news is that the Rockets' tactics this season have not had much of a problem with the team's tacit understanding, and after two days of training, although they are far from being proficient, they have at least found some way.

Game 3 of the Rockets-Spurs series takes place in Houston.

Despite falling behind, Houston fans' enthusiasm for the home team has not diminished at all, and even because of the backwardness, many Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean have rushed to Houston to cheer for the home team.

A little different from the American mentality, the more Chinese fans fall behind, the stronger their support for the team.

Not only the fans, but also the local media in Houston also carried out a lot of publicity before the game.

"Skycity never says never!"

"Desperate counterattack, PUBG!"

"The Rockets will lift off tonight and shoot down the Spurs!"

……

Even the Toyota Center Arena has made various activities, and if the team wins tonight, a burger will be distributed to each spectator, and the spectators can also take away the T-shirt as a souvenir.

It's fair to say that fans throughout Houston are doing their best to cheer on the home team.

At the same time, Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean are also gathered in front of the TV, even if the whole United States gives up the Rockets, they will not give up their home team.

On this day, Houston was empty of thousands of people, and as long as there was a broadcast screen, there would be fans gathering.

"Guys, there's no way back, this is our last chance, I don't ask you to win this game, but the only thing I ask of you is to work hard and don't leave yourself with regrets, understand?"

Tang Tian didn't say anything grandiose, but this sentence reached the hearts of all the team members.

Since they were not favored at the beginning of the season, how many people they have slapped in the face along the way, and now they have finally come to this day, knowing that there is a gap in strength, the only thing they can do is to do what Tang Tian said, work hard and leave no regrets.

"Team Rocket!"

Millsap shouted and held out his hand.

One by one, the members of Team Rocket shouted and folded their hands on it.

"Victory!"

Everyone shouted loudly, hysterical.

On this night, the Toyota Center was full of emotion, and the players of the Rockets team were greeted by a tsunami-like shout from the scene when they came out of the player tunnel.

"Gentlemen, ladies, let me hear your biggest cheers, this is the Toyota Center, this is the Houston Rockets, let's welcome."

"Point guard No. 25, Steve ~Blake~!"

"Small forward No. 31, Sean ~ Battier!"

"Power Forward No. 4, Paul ~ Millsap!"

"No. 1 shooting guard, Tracy ~~~ McGrady!!"

"No. 11 center, our Yao ~~~~~ Ming !!!!"

With the host's more and more passionate introduction, the cheers of the fans at the scene became more and more high-pitched, and by the time Yao Ming appeared in the finale, the entire stadium was already in a boil.

Tonight's Toyota Center is destined to be a sleepless night.

Feeling the momentum of the Toyota Center, Spurs head coach Popovich called the team's Big Three and whispered for a while, and it can be seen that this pressure from the fans has made the veteran coach feel the pressure.

The Spurs' starting line-up was unchanged from before.

On the outside is a combination of Parker and Finley Sr., with Bowenga Oberto up front and Tim Duncan as the starting center.

"Hey Kenny, do you think there's any hope for the Rockets in this game?" In the commentary booth, Barkley turned to look at his partner Kenny Smith.

"It's difficult, Yao's system has advantages for most teams, but against the Spurs who are balanced inside and outside, they don't have much to do, in fact, this year's Spurs, most teams can't do it." Smith said a little helplessly.

Although he didn't want to dampen the high mood at the scene, he didn't want to tell a lie either.

There was a burst of boos at the scene.

"Well, maybe Yao and T-mac can both score 40 points, or the Rockets hit 20 three-pointers from the outside, I think there's still hope."

The boos at the scene were even worse, and there were even many cursing voices from radical fans.

"Charles, be careful, I don't want to follow you in the commentary box." Smith laughed.

"Okay, okay, the Rockets have to change their style of play if they want to win, but it's too demanding, not to mention whether there really is another style of play, even in such a short period of time, they can't do it." Barkley said earnestly.
