The Rockets won a crucial game on the road, and after the game, Lao Tang was also very satisfied with the performance of the Rockets' players.

On the way back to the hotel, Lao Tang said to the Rockets players: "Tomorrow morning's training is canceled, everyone have a good rest." However, the afternoon training was still carried out, and everyone understood that it was not. ”

The players of the Rockets began to get excited after hearing that they didn't need to train in the morning, but when they heard that they would continue to train in the afternoon, they suddenly lost their energy.

Looking at the Rocket players like this, Lao Tang couldn't cry or laugh, and said loudly: "Why, I'm not satisfied, then let's continue training tomorrow morning, and the training volume will be doubled, everyone agrees." ”

This is an outright threat, as soon as the Rocket players heard it, they were all stupid, and they heard Lao Tang say there: "Kindly let you rest for half a day and sleep lazy, you are so good that you can only increase the amount of training, lest you have no place to vent your energy." ”

Mark sitting in the front row? Jackson immediately said: "No, no, no, coach, we are very grateful for your gift, you are the knight of King Arthur with great character, you are the God of our hearts, you are the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, you say yes, brothers." ”

Mark? Jackson hurriedly pulled up all the Rocket players, and all the players of the Rockets also woke up, and nodded hurriedly.

Lao Tang was also overjoyed when he heard it, and nodded his head.

But there was a sentence just now, how to figure out why it is not a taste, is that sentence.

After thinking for a moment, Lao Tang roared angrily and roared: "Mark, you bastard, who do you say is the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, who do you say is a woman." ”

Mark? Jackson looked at the angry old soup, shrunk his neck and defended: "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, you are the reincarnation of King Lionheart, the reincarnation of King Lionheart." ”

For a while, there was laughter in the car, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Lao Tang gritted his teeth and said: "Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, Mark, I want to see you in the training hall, everyone else can take a holiday, but you have something to do, I will make a physical fitness schedule for you, if I can't see you, you can walk back to Houston by yourself after the series is over." ”

Mark? Jackson looked depressed, and Horry beside him said helplessly: "Man, I can't help you, let's do it myself." ”

Mark? Jackson raised his head, looked at Lao Tang so affectionately and said, "Coach, don't, I really know it's wrong." ”

Lao Tang didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "I'll wait for you in the training hall." ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Looking at Mark? Jackson wanted to cry without tears, and everyone in the Rockets laughed heartlessly.

While the atmosphere of the Rockets was relaxed and joking, the Spurs were in dire straits, and after losing to the Rockets again on their home court, the Spurs' locker room was a gloomy fog.

**When Vicky didn't enter the locker room, his face was still full of sadness, but his face when he pushed the door in had completely become normal.

This effect is faster than the change of face in Chinese Sichuan opera, seeing the silent spurs, ** Vicky pretended to be surprised and said: "Guys, what's wrong with you, have you collectively lost money?" ”

A gentle joke eased a lot of tension in the room.

The Spurs players all smiled heartily.

Vicky continued: "I know you're in a bad mood right now, but I want you to go home and get a good night's sleep today. Then, when I get to training tomorrow, I hope to see a Spurs who have laid down their baggage. You know, we and the Rockets have nearly 20 games off in the regular season, it's not normal to lose to them in one or two games, don't think too much, the Rockets are not invincible, think about our first game, okay, let's go home quickly, have a good rest, old man, I still have a date at night. ”

There was a good-natured laugh from the Spurs players.

Vicky tried his best to calm the emotions of the Spurs players, looking at the Spurs players who left, Vicky rubbed his temples and muttered in a low voice: "Is there really no way, I'm really unwilling." ”

** Vicky, who returned home, watched the video materials of the rocket all night, racking his brains to find a way to defeat the rocket.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, Mark? Jackson pushed open the empty training hall, fainted, took out the phone tremblingly, called Lao Tang, and after the phone rang a few times, a lazy voice rang and said, "That, I'm Rudy?" Tomjanovich. ”

Mark? Jackson asked with tears in his voice, "Coach, I'm Mark, why didn't you come to the training gym." ”

Lao Tang was obviously stunned, and then said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday, this morning's solo training was canceled, I slept too early yesterday, so I forgot about this matter, you should also know that people don't remember very well when they are old, then you have already gone to the training hall, or I will go over immediately." ”

Mark? Jackson was already crying, he didn't bring such a play, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly replied: "No, no, coach, you can continue to rest." ”

Hung up the phone, Mark? Jackson looked at the empty training gym, and his eyes were full of tears.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for Game 4 between the Rockets and Spurs.

Before the start of the game, ** Vic didn't arrange any tactics, just quietly looked at the Spurs players, and then said slowly: "Guys, I don't want to arrange any tactics today, because in the past few days I have arranged all the tactics that can be arranged, the game will depend on you, as a coach, I just want to say one thing to you, that is, any team can be defeated, in the history of the NBA, there is no team that is undefeated, all you have to do is to fight until the last moment, Don't give up until the last moment, even if you fail this year, you still have a chance to make a comeback next year, but if you lose your fighting spirit, then you lose everything, can you fight until the last moment? ”

Vicky's voice is low, but infectious.

The Spurs players got up and gathered around, David? Robinson, said: "Think about the road we have walked, we have come here, there is no need to turn back, we can only move forward, we can only fight until the last moment." ”

"Combat"

"Combat"

"Combat"

The Spurs will roar in awe-inspiring rage.

The Spurs, who have been fighting against the water, have put everything down at this moment.

The only thought in my mind is to defeat the rocket.

The game between the two sides began in the stirring emotions of the Spurs, and at the beginning of the game, Olajuwon keenly noticed the psychological change of the Spurs, and the Spurs played more tough and aggressive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Olajuwon immediately reminded the attention of the Rockets.

The toughness of the Spurs, coupled with the home court advantage, gave the Spurs an advantage in the first quarter of the game.

Olajuwon and Garnett were suppressed by the Spurs twin towers on the inside.

Losing the advantage of the inside, Barkley also frequently attacked the Rockets defense circle from the outside.

In just 5 minutes, the fulcrum of the Rockets' outside defense, small forward Horry has already committed 2 fouls.

Lao Tang had no choice but to replace Saulius, and when he was substitution, Horry whispered in Saulius's ear: "Sboga, be careful, today's Spurs are very different." ”

Saurius nodded solemnly, seeing Saurius playing, Barkley just raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

Barkley knew that the white kid in front of him was not so easy to deal with, and it seemed that today's game was not so easy to handle.

As the game continued, Saulius stuck to Barkley's body like a plaster, knocking it off and continuing to put it on.

Falling down and getting up and continuing to top up, Saullius was like an unbeatable little strongman, stalking Barkley to the death.

The rocket, which slowly stabilized the situation, began to counterattack.

Mark? Jackson, with the feeling of being released as a pigeon, began to constantly beat the 'little general' Johnson.

The success of three consecutive strong hits made the Spurs not strengthen Mark? Jackson's defense.

However, looking at Jackson who began to pass, the Spurs were helpless in one time.

They didn't know that Jackson's attack would be so strong today, and there was no way for anyone to let Mark be consciously released by the head coach, and it would not be very cool for anyone to put this matter.

The entire first quarter of the game was spent in the entanglement of the Spurs, and the players who had not been powerful before began to break out the most helpless.

At 27:24 of the first quarter, the Spurs led by three points.

After the start of the second quarter, the rocket came out in the second sacrifice, his own rapid attack, looking at the Spurs who were already on guard, Lao Tang beckoned, Saullius and Bodiroga began to change positions frequently, and the attack power of the dual cores broke out, which blinded the Spurs for a while.

Whoever defends will start running without the ball, and whoever does not let go will organize an attack.

In addition, both of them can attack with the ball on their own, and they both have accurate three-point shots, and the Rockets' attack power is doubled.

Watching the two Europeans work together seamlessly on the court, the toughness of Garnett and Big Ben on the inside of the Rockets.

Once again, the Spurs are in crisis.

At this time, the Spurs need a hero to step up, otherwise the Spurs really don't need to play.

Once again, Barkley, the player with the most surname, stepped up when the Spurs needed it most.

After two consecutive mid-range shots, it looked like there were 17 seconds left to end the first half of the game.

Barkley looked at Saulius beside him and said, "Boy, you're good, but you can't stop me. ”

Saulus said indifferently: "There's no way to stop you, then I'll entangle you, as long as it's the rocket that wins the game in the end." ”

Barkley nodded and said, "You're really willing to play, there are really too few players like this now, but this is the game, boy." ”

After speaking, a forced acceleration used his own strength to break through the space, and in two big steps, he smashed into the inner line of the rocket.

Circled around in the paint area, dodged Garnett's defensive range, faced Big Ben's block, dodged Big Ben's palm, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

At the same time as the dunk ended, the second quarter of the game between the two sides also ended.

Look at the guy who was there to cheer the fans after the dunk was done.

** Vicky is a little unbalanced, and is slowly regaining his calm.

We have such great players, why can't we beat the opposition.

Looking at the Rockets players who walked to the players' tunnel with a relaxed face, Vic gritted his teeth and thought: The Spurs will never admit defeat, and the Spurs will definitely fight until the last moment.

And looking at today's tough spurs, Lao Tang also smiled coldly on the side, thinking: If you want to work hard, you will, won't we.
