"You're trying to ask why you can't play all the time, right?" Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Sun Yue was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, but looking at the change in his expression, he obviously wanted to know this.

"Let's put it this way, letting you play now will do more harm than good." Tang Tian said it more tactfully, in fact, even if it is garbage time, Sun Yue's current strength and competitive state cannot take any advantage.

You must know that even if it is garbage time, those players who play on the court can play the main team when they go to the CBA and overseas.

Sun Yue can't do this yet, so Tang Tian's positioning of him is functional, but it's a pity that Sun Yue's progress is a bit slow now.

This has a certain relationship with himself, and also with the team's training for him.

"Hmm." Sun Yue didn't refute, although his face was full of disapproval.

Tang Tianshou knocked on the table for a while, and then said: "In this way, I will arrange for you to play for a period of time with the Austin Bulls, which can help you maintain your game and help you improve." ”

"Austin Bulls?" Sun Yue was stunned for a moment.

The Austin Bulls, the predecessor of the Austin Spurs, are based in Austin City, Texas, and are currently a development league team shared by the Rockets, Celtics, and Spurs.

Tang Tian saw Sun Yue's expression change and knew that he didn't like such a decision.

If this were someone else, Tang Tian would not bother to say anything, but how to say that he is also Chinese, and Sun Yue's development is also good for Chinese basketball.

He was patient, and then said: "Sun Yue, there is something I said more directly, but I hope you can really listen to it. ”

Sun Yue looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"You can forget about your performance in China, in the Olympic God, or in the CBA league in the United States, or even in the trial, you have to understand that your talent is not talent in the NBA."

Sun Yue's face was a little ugly, and what he said was indeed direct enough.

Tang Tian didn't mean to stop, these words were the biggest thing he could help Sun Yue, if Sun Yue really listened, it would be a real enlightenment.

"You can run and jump, there are more people in the NBA than you can run and jump, you have the height to organize, but the NBA has more people than you can organize, I won't talk about scoring or anything, so the point I want to tell you is that these are not your talents, the only talent you have is hard work, you understand?"

Sun Yue was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Tang Tian didn't know if he had listened to it, anyway, everything he could say had already been said, and whether he could change it or not was up to Sun Yue himself.

When Sun Yue left, Tang Tian called Xibodu in and asked him to arrange for Sun Yue to develop the affairs of the alliance.

After hanging up the phone, he hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up his phone and called Brandon Jones, the coach of the Austin Bulls, and asked him to take care of Sun Yue more.

Putting down the phone, Tang Tianchang exhaled, this is all he can do for Sun Yue, or Chinese basketball, as for what Sun Yue will develop, it all depends on his own creation.

After a day of rest, the Rockets returned home to take on the Spurs.

Millsap is back for this game, with Billups still sidelined.

The back-to-back road rush made the players a little tired on the court, but the Spurs' Ginobili had a career-high 51 points.

The Rockets eventually lost 105-116 to the Spurs, ending a fifteen-game winning streak.

After a loss, the post-match media suddenly changed its mind.

Fifteen wins in a row is the Rockets' all-time season winning streak, in other words, the Rockets have never done it before.

While Houston fans were cheering, fans of other teams were envious and jealous.

Jealousy is human nature, and if you are an ordinary person and see someone around you suddenly become a nouveau riche, jealousy is a natural and normal emotion.

After the Rockets lost to the Spurs, many media outlets began to ridicule them.

"Fifteen consecutive wins are just an illusion, and all of the Rockets' previous opponents are weak."

"The Spurs are the litmus test for a strong team, and now the test for this Rockets team is over."

"Billups' absence is no excuse, and the Rockets are as far away from defending their title as Pluto is from Earth."

……

The media put a lot of pressure on the Rockets and Rockets fans.

Tang Tian gave the team two days off at this time.

He's not worried about the current state of the team at all, and he knows exactly what the reasons for the loss to the Spurs were, so relaxing was the best way to solve it.

Sure enough, after the two-day holiday, the tired looks of the players were obviously gone, and the players did not show any frustration because the fifteen-game winning streak was ended.

After returning from the break, the Rockets' first game was to play the Suns at home.

After the Suns experienced the ups and downs of last season, the biggest change this season is the release of Kurt Thomas on the interior and the signing of veteran Grant Hill.

Hill, as the former "Jordan's successor" and the potential spokesperson of the league, was defeated by an ankle injury and became an ordinary role player in the league, but this season the Suns have played a good all-time game, and the Suns have been 14-2 since the start of the game, and their results in the West are second only to the Rockets.

The two teams collided strongly, and the two sides played Mars.

But in the end, with Tang Tian's control on the sidelines and Yao Ming's dominance of 32 points on the inside, the Rockets finally won the game 117-113.

The victory derailed the rhetoric that ridiculed the Rockets, and after the game, TNT's well-known commentator Kenny Smith even commented on the game with the words "action is the best response to doubters".

defeated the Suns and reinvigorated the morale of the Rockets, which had fallen slightly.

In the following week, they once again ushered in a five-game winning streak, including many opponents such as the Mavericks, Hornets and Cavaliers.

With this streak, the Rockets' record has also come to 20-1 and continues to dominate the league.

The Rockets' next game against the Detroit Pistons is the Detroit Pistons.

The team had good news before the game, as Billups, who had been out for more than two weeks, had fully recovered from his injury and had already trained for a full-court confrontation and will play against the Pistons.

At the same time, Sun Yue also played a wonderful game in the Development League, he got a triple-double, 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Tang Tian heard the news in the coach's office, he was studying the tactics of playing the Pistons in the next game, and Thibodeau rushed in and told him excitedly.
