Morey is a smart person, but he is also a small person, which can be seen from what forced Tang Tian away in the first place.

Anyone can hear what this means.

Some of the team members refer to Artest, Dragic, and some people have been specially added, which naturally refers to Tang Tian.

It's like saying, "Look, I said, without you, we're going to the finals and winning the championship."

You, dispensable. ”

Tang Tian didn't bother to respond to Morey's words.

If he's still in the Rockets, there's a need for Salmons.

But these words also stirred up his fighting spirit.

His favorite thing to do is to fight his opponent until he is subdued.

"This Rockets team, the biggest strength, but also their biggest weakness."

During the regular meeting of the coaching staff, Tang Tian, as the former head coach of the Rockets, began to build self-confidence in his coaching staff.

Including Casey, the teaching assistants all looked at Tang Tian curiously.

This is a sentence that sounds paradoxical.

"Yao and T-mac are very strong, so the people who coach him, inadvertently overuse them, and the more anxious the game, the more so, and I was very careful about that when I was with the Rockets, but sometimes it can't be escaped."

"That's right." Cassel nodded, he was still in the Celtics and Rockets Finals two years ago, and he was deeply impressed.

"So we're going to play small and we're going to wear them down, maybe in the opening game, or maybe they're going to be behind in the first game or two, but in the series, we're going to take the lead." Tang Tian This is an empirical statement, which is similar to the previous method of playing the Spurs by the Rockets, the Spurs are old, and the Rockets rely too much on Yao Mai, especially Yao Mai coached by Thibodeau.

"It's the only way." Casey nodded in agreement, both a powerful coach, Tang Tian focused on the playing style of the entire series, which made him resonate quickly.

The other teaching assistants nodded their heads one after another.

Defeating the strong with the weak requires methods, and Tang Tian's methods are reasonable and convincing.

Then, Tang Tian and the entire coaching staff discussed the specific details of the tactics.

Slowly, I could feel the confidence of the whole coaching staff building.

"Guys, the NBA is where the magic happens, and we're only one step away from creating it." Before the meeting ended, Tang Tian said with sincere eyes.

As he said that, he could see a strong longing in Casey's eyes.

There are championships every year, but the real champion who defeats the strong with the weak, the NBA has only been the rocket in the 94~95 season in the past 20 years.

And they have been engraved in history forever.

Who wouldn't want to be next?

After two days of training in Cleveland, the Cavaliers flew to Houston with the anticipation of small-town fans.

It is there that they will begin their journey to the Grand Final.

When the finals began, the annual prediction drama kicked off again.

Sharply similar to last year's Finals, almost all media believe that the Rockets can make history and achieve four consecutive championships in the new century.

To paraphrase Barkley on TNT, "The only thing that can pose a threat to the Rockets is the Celtics, but they're out of the Finals, Cavaliers? I wonder if it's time to find Shaq to be my colleague after the season? Oh my God, he's still the starting center for the Cavaliers! ”

Eliminated the Magic, used ugly slashing tactics, eliminated the Celtics, and relied on Glenn Davis's brain pumping.

Most people don't think this Cavaliers team is the strongest team in the East.

In ESPN's latest survey, 80% of the 5,000 people surveyed felt the Rockets would win the championship.

Do you think the remaining 20% think the Cavaliers will win the championship?

No.

Fifteen percent of them abstained.

Only 5 percent felt the Cavaliers had the slightest chance.

And this opportunity does not come from James, but from Tang Tian.

It's not entirely about personal strength, it's an expectation.

The coach who was abandoned by the Rockets now has a chance to get his revenge.

Revenge, an American favorite.

In other words, even the fans, almost no one thinks the Cavaliers can win.

The public opinion before the game was boiling, and the heat of the finals was also heating up rapidly.

Tickets for the Toyota Center have long been hard to find, and the ratings of major TV media have continued to rise.

On the evening of June 4th, the first game of the finals was finally officially played at the Toyota Center.

Before the game started, the scene was already noisy.

Tang Tian faced his players in the locker room.

"This series is going to be the hardest we've been in the playoffs, they're tough, they've just won three straight championships, their core Yao has just won the regular season MVP for the third year in a row, and they've got T-mac, they can beat everybody, including us.

Theoretically.

But what is this place?

It's the NBA!

Where the magic happens!

Think about it!

Think about it!

When the fans of later generations talk about it, when our sons talk about it.

It was a few years ago, more than a decade ago.

There's a team that's half veterans and half rookies.

They are not favored by everyone.

They look destined to be swept in the Finals.

But they last.

And it did!

They did everything they could!

They won the battle!

They won the championship!

What was that experience like?! ”

"Proud!" Tang Tian said and slapped his chest hard.

"LeBron, tell me, do you crave a championship?" He said, turning his head to look at James.

James nodded, although he has become the first person in the league, but after 7 years in the league, he has not won a championship so far.

"And tell me, are you hungry for a championship win over the Rockets this year?" Tang Tian asked in an aggravated tone.

"Hungry!" James also responded loudly.

"Yes! Hungry after! Shaq, tell me, you're 37 years old, Charles said you're going to be its colleague soon, but now, tell me, are you hungry for this title? ”

"Hungry!" O'Neill also nodded vigorously, his career has never been so underrated, but it is precisely because he is underrated that it keeps him scrappy.

"Wesley, Danny, tell me, you had a chance to challenge for a championship in your first year as a rookie, do you crave a championship?"

"Hungry!!" Matthews and Green are enthusiastic, and young people are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers!

"Yes, hungry, that's who we are!

All of them!

This series, for yourselves, and for your sons and daughters, let's be miracles and let's go down in NBA history forever!

Cavaliers! Above! Above! ”

With Tang Tian's shouting, the members of the Cavaliers shouted, like the 300 warriors of Sparta, and rushed out of the locker room.
