Chapter 447: Confession
"What are we?"
"Warrior!"
"What's the game?"
"Fight!"
"That's to fight like a warrior, don't beg the referee for pity like a, this is not Houston, this is Sacramento, it's someone's turf, it's a team that makes money for the league."
I have to say that the head coach of the Rockets, John Schmidt, is a very strange coach, although he himself is a believer in romanticism, but his coaching style is not romantic at all, and the rigid and rigorous character of the German cannot be seen in him, but it is quite a bit of the German iron-blooded Chancellor Bismarck.
John Schmidt never asked the referee to abide by the so-called justice, he believed that the justice was only given by others, he only followed the strength, and with the strength there will naturally be people to respect him, and the glory of the championship is enough to cover up all the shortcomings.
Compared to the Runners, who are now gaining momentum, the Rockets are indeed not a particularly popular team, but fortunately, the league has also learned from the experience of the Wizards and Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, and the referees are not too biased towards the home team, but proper care still exists.
The league's top brass who want high ratings and high attention don't want the Rockets, who have a more outdated style of play, to enter the Western Conference Finals or even the Finals, and after the first game, the league almost felt that they were supporting someone who was wrong.
By the middle of the third quarter, the Rockets had trailed the Runners by as many as 16 points, which was a huge margin for a team with a decent offense but a slow pace.
So during the timeout, John Schmidt lectured his players like a general.
As for whether he can recover the score, John Schmidt doesn't care at this time, he has always been a coach with such a personality, and his results are not valued by him, he pays more attention to the strength and growth of players, in this regard, he and Wang Lei have a natural common language.
At this time, on the bench of the Runners, Turgun hurried back to the locker room, and then hurried back, which made the audience think that Turgun was not having a stomach trouble, because his face looked a little flushed.
Wang Lei also sensed that something was wrong with Turgon, he seemed to ask, but found that the red on Turgon's face was more like a shy expression, after all, it was in public, so Wang Lei didn't ask again.
After the timeout ends, the game resumes.
The Rockets' defense has taken it up a notch once again, with their players pressing the Runners almost desperately.
Turgun was flanked by a true "black and hard" in the form of the Rockets' backup point guard Samir Lamont.
The black African player has terrible basketball fundamentals, but he has excellent physical attributes and tenacious defensive tenacity, and he is a defensive wonder that Rockets head coach John Schmidt has unearthed to deal with a deft point guard like Turgon.
Turgun did feel the pressure from Samir after he came on the pitch, but he was not afraid of it at this point.
As for how to deal with such a "black and hard", Turgun has his own style of play after two years of competition training.
Turgon, who had a problem with his mentality before, was indeed in trouble, but Turgon, who had already made up his mind in his heart, was no longer affected by his mentality.
Turgun, who resumed possession of the ball, began his own show.
Samir's defensive resilience is indeed good enough, he constantly pesters Turgon, trying to slow down Turgun or make mistakes with body hair level defense, but Turgun's dribbling rhythm is very good, and the combination of man and ball is like one, always using the rhythm change of fast and slow to shake off Samir's defense, and then send a lethal three-pointer or assist to the Rockets.
The Runners players really started to move at this point, and the Rockets' defense was team-driven, but at this point their defense finally had some confusion, because their players' runs were all deflected by the Runners' runs.
This defensive confusion shook John Schmidt's heart, because this team-driven defensive play was at the heart of his tactics.
Now that the core of the game has been disrupted by the opponent, John Schmidt has to be shocked by how flexible and versatile he is with this team of runners.
In the second half of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams began to widen, and if it weren't for the Rockets' offense maintaining well, or the Runners' defense was leaky, maybe the game would have lost suspense by the end of the third quarter.
However, when the third quarter ended, the Runners stretched the deficit to 24 points.
After the game entered the fourth quarter, according to the Rockets' style of play, the 24-point difference basically meant that they had lost control of the game, but the Rockets under the coaching of John Schmidt were strange and they would never give up until the last minute.
So in the fourth quarter, the Rockets were still taking the game seriously as if they were only two points behind.
Although Wang Lei made appropriate lineup adjustments after entering the fourth quarter, he had to face the opponent in the face of an opponent who played the game so seriously, and this respect for the game made Wang Lei a little awe-inspiring for the Rockets and this wonderful coach.
In the face of such an opponent, what Wang Lei can do is to let his players not be loose, they also need to take the game seriously.
In the end, the game ended with the Runners beating the Rockets by 33 points.
Although they lost by more than 30 points, the Rockets' tenacious fighting spirit still won the unanimous respect and recognition of the runners.
At the end of the game, Turgon, who had 37 points and 14 assists, was the best player of the game.
The reporters at the scene and the cameraman went directly to Turgon.
"Congratulations, Turgon, congratulations on a big win, is there anything you would like to say about this fight?"
As is customary, the reporters on the scene asked Turgun questions, but then Turgun asked him: "Is your interview live?" Will it be broadcast live across the United States? ”
"Uh, yes!"
"Well, that's for the best."
As soon as he finished speaking, Turgun took out a piece of paper from under his jersey in front of the camera, and a short sentence was written on the paper, and the font was written in a large font, although the font was somewhat soaked with sweat, but through the camera's shooting, everyone could see what was written.
I saw that this piece of paper, which looked like it had been torn off in a hurry, read "Anna, I love you!" Let's get married! ”
The clumsy Turgun chose to save his love in such a way.
