Chapter 111: Injuries Strike

Just when everyone in the Rockets was happy and they defeated the Jazz with difficulty, Lao Tang was depressed by a physical examination report.

During the routine post-game checks, the Rockets had a number of players who were not in the right physical condition and could be extremely vulnerable to injury if they played, including Garnett, Bodiroga, Saullius and Ray Allen, and the other bench players were also on the verge of physical threshold.

The other old men were fine, and their physical condition was surprisingly good.

Yes, during this time, the Rockets often use substitutes to solve the battle, and the old men generally play for about 20 minutes, which can not only exercise but also maintain their condition.

However, there are a lot of substitutes, but I didn't expect the substitutes to get tired first.

Lao Tang looked at this report and thought to himself: It seems that all the players of the Rockets will be rested in the second round, otherwise it will be March now, if there are any serious injuries at this stage, the entire playoffs will be in vain, and this year is the best time to subvert the Bulls.

Putting down the physical examination report, Lao Tang looked at the schedule after March.

The Rockets have more than 20 games to go before they end this year's regular season. However, in these more than 20 games, there are still many difficult bones to gnaw.

What to do, whether to continue to strive for the best results in the regular season, or to allow your players to rotate for a period of rest and prepare for the playoffs in the best mental and physical condition.

These questions caught Lao Tang off guard.

Lao Tang smiled bitterly and muttered to himself: "It seems that I have discussed it with the boss." ”

After that, he picked up the phone and called Tiger.

At this time, Tiger was sipping red wine in his mansion and wandering around the world.

At this time, his butler came over with the phone and said, "Sir, Mr. Rudy's phone." With that, he handed over the phone.

Tiger stretched out his hand to answer the phone and said, "Hey, Rudy, why do you have time to call me today, if there is nothing to do, you can also come to my house, I got a few very good bottles of red wine, let's try it." ”

"Boss, thank you for the invitation. Now I'd better ask you to come over, we have a tricky matter for you to take care of. Lao Tang said a little melancholy.

"Hehe, Rudy, there's something that stumps our famous marshal." Tiger said with a smile.

"Boss, you better come over as soon as possible, if you don't want to move, I'll go to your house." Old Tang was a little anxious when he heard Tiger's somewhat indifferent tone.

"Okay, come here, Rudy, we can have a meal together, and I'll invite a top French chef to try it too." Tiger happily invited, and hung up the phone.

"Hi. Boss, I hope you'll be happy when you know about it. Lao Tang took the microphone of the phone, shook his head and sighed.

After saying that, he drove directly to Tiger's mansion.

It was when Tiger instructed his chef to make a sumptuous meal that Old Soup's car arrived.

Tiger had the old soup brought to his study.

"Hey, I said Rudy, what's upsetting you like this." Relying on the eagerness of Lao Tang's face, Tiger asked a little strangely.

"I think you can look at this, and you will know why I am so anxious." Lao Tang didn't speak, and handed over the physical examination report.

Tiger gave the old soup a strange look, but didn't say anything.

Picking up the report and reading it carefully, Tiger's brows gradually tightened together as the report deepened.

After about 15 minutes, Tiger raised his head and said to the old man: "Your concern is right, Rudy, it was our mistake, we shouldn't have given them a physical examination every ten days, I will tell those researchers, let them check every three days, if there are more away games, once every five days, I will see if we can find a way to install some smaller equipment in our special plane, so that we can always keep track of the physical condition of the players." However, this thing in front of you is really tangled, do you have any good ideas, Rudy. ”

Lao Tang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Boss, I don't have any good methods, I'm not here to ask you for advice." ”

Tiger scratched his head habitually and said, "What advice can I have, don't I listen to you in the end." ”

"Alright then, boss, my personal opinion is that for the playoffs, for the championship, we have to sacrifice the regular season results now, we can't let our main players and core players get injured at the last minute, then it will hurt us to prepare for the playoffs." Lao Tang said what he thought.

"Well, I'm in favor of what you said, Rudy, but have you thought about a question, if we really let go of the next games, then the confidence that we have built up in two years will be lost very quickly, and if that is the case, we will not have an advantage in the playoff competition, especially against strong teams like the Jazz and the Bulls." Tiger raised his own objections.

"Yes, boss, I know that, so I suggest a rotational break, maybe we are the only ones in this league who can make such a decision, how many teams and players have lost the opportunity to win the top honor because of injuries in the past." Lao Tang said with some sighs.

"Hehe, just do what you want, but there are still more than 20 games, how do you arrange it, I want to hear your specific thoughts." Tiger agrees with Soup, but he wants to know more details.

"Okay, boss, let me tell you, some of our main opponents in the future, on the 6th of this month, we will face the Heat on our home court, on the 8th we will face the Suns away, on the 10th we will go away to play the Jazz again, and then we have an easier schedule in the middle, and then on the 26th we will play the Pacers away, on the 28th we will play the Magic, on the 30th we will challenge the Heat on the road, on the 1st of next month, we will face the Suns on our home court, and on the 4th we will go away to challenge the Hawks, We play Jordan on our home court on the 6th, the SuperSonics on the 13th, and the Suns on the 20th, and that's where we play against a couple of big teams this month and next month. Lao Tang told the rocket arena eloquently.

"Hehe, we have to play a lot of strong teams, so according to the doctor's advice, how long do the players have to rest before they can adjust." Tiger asked for a moment when he was going to recover.

"Well, a few people with a large physical loss are estimated to take 5-7 days, and those who have physical strength above the critical line can recover in about 3 days." The old soup gave a specific time.

After listening to this, Tiger thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, your coaching staff and team doctors will study it carefully to see when to start letting the players start to rest, you can do it, you don't need to ask me in the future." ”

Seeing Tiger agree so happily, Lao Tang was also stunned, and said tentatively: "Boss, don't you want to create the highest regular season record." ”

"Why, why not, but compared to the future of the team, what is it." Tiger said very imposingly, which made Lao Tang really feel Tiger's powerful aura as a financial predator.

Lao Tang looked at the radiant man in front of him, and it was difficult to associate him with the boss who was a little off the line.

Thinking of this, Lao Tang was dizzy for a while.

"Then it's settled, if nothing happens, I'll take my leave, boss." Old Tang got up and prepared to leave.

"Hehe, don't go, Rudy, didn't I say it, I just invited a top French chef, and I've asked them to prepare, don't go, let's have a good chat." Tiger won't let Old Tang go.

"But, boss." Old Tang Gang wanted to say something.

"It's nothing, your problem is solved, then you can have dinner with me. You don't know, Amy and my sister Trill have been working on a charity fund lately, and they can't see anyone all day long, but I can't be bored, except for sometimes watching the Rockets and dealing with the affairs of the Rockets, my other work is taken care of by a professional team, and I don't have anything to do, so don't leave today. Tiger interrupted the old soup and left the person behind.

Seeing such a situation, Lao Tang had no choice but to stay.

Here Lao Tang also enjoyed an unusually delicious meal of the French chef, and with a beautiful mood, Lao Tang went back to study the rotation list.

In the game against the Clippers on March 4, the Rockets had four main players and main bench players, and they were not included in the 12-man squad.

Their Garnett, Bodiro Gazaulus and Ray Allen, they were neatly in the audience cheering for their team.

After receiving Lao Tang's notice, and after reading the report of the Rocket Physiology Research Laboratory, these four people could only leisurely enjoy their own rest time.

Although, seeing that the Rockets have hidden 4 core players, the Clippers have not been able to do anything.

The old men of the Rockets and the substitutes in those benches of the Rockets are enough to clean up the Clippers.

At 107:97, the Rockets won effortlessly over the Clippers.

One more victory for himself.

However, they will face a severe test below.

The arrival of one of the toughest teams in the East, the Miami Heat, will be a tough test for the Rockets, who are now short of major generals.

I don't know if the rocket can survive, the rocket war is hot, and it is about to begin.

Let's see if the Heat led by Tim Hardaway and Mourning are superior, or the Rockets' old men have the spirit.

The big war is about to begin, let's wait and see who can have the upper hand between Lao Tang and the 'God Operator' Pat Riley.
