On the second day of the Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and the Spurs, before the Rockets' regular practice began, the Rockets' head coach, general manager and owner all came to the Rockets' training ground.

Watching the training of the Rockets today, looking at this posture, the hearts of all the Rocket players were uneasy for a while.

The Spurs actually defeated the Rockets on their own Rockets' home court, why did this happen, the Rockets players are thinking in their hearts, the old players have figured out what is going on, and the young people are still nervous.

On the sidelines, Tiger said to Lao Tang: "Rudy, how about after this game, have these stinky boys reflected on it?" ”

Lao Tang shook his head and said, "Last night, after losing to the Spurs, these stinky boys didn't sleep well, and I received my call yesterday in the early hours of this morning." ”

Tiger laughed beside him and said, "These stinky boys also have this time, I thought they were not afraid of the sky and the earth." ”

Dawson said next to him: "Actually, the boys played very well, but their mentality was not set up well, and they were exploited by the Spurs." ”

Lao Tang continued on the side: "Yesterday, we had a chance to win the game, as long as Hakim and Clyde broke out, it was okay to reverse yesterday's situation, but we didn't let them do that, Hakim and Clyde are already so old, I can't let these stinky boys develop such a habit and rely on two old guys to win the game, then their future development will come to an end." ”

Just on the sidelines, when the Rockets' off-court triumvirate was talking, the young people of the Rockets were also chatting in private. Garnett vs. Ray? Allen said: "Ray, what do you say the coach will do, it was a shame that we lost yesterday. ”

Thunder? Aaron also lowered his voice and said: "I called the coach last night to find out the limelight, but I didn't ask anything. ”

Garnett was a little surprised and said, "Me too, I didn't ask anything." ”

Thunder? Alun shook his head helplessly and said, "I have to resign myself to fate." ”

Just as the two were chatting, they heard Lao Tang shouting: "Kevin, Ray, what are you doing, do you want to double your training." ”

Garnett and Ray? When Aaron heard this, he immediately shrunk his neck and continued to start today's training.

After the day's training, Lao Tang signaled everyone to go to the big conference room today and hold a meeting for everyone.

Everyone knows that today's drama is coming.

In the large conference room, Tiger and Dawson were already sitting waiting for the meeting to begin.

Lao Tang motioned for everyone to do a good job, looked at the many players of the Rockets, and said loudly: "Yesterday, we lost, I think everyone understands this, you all know the importance of this series, I want to hear everyone's views on yesterday's loss today, after all, losing is losing, at least we know where we lost, I want to know everyone's opinion." ”

The Rockets were silent for a long time, and at this time Olajuwon spoke first.

Just listen to Olajuwon say: "Coach, I'm the captain, I'll say it first." ”

Lao Tang didn't speak, just nodded.

Olajuwon cleared his throat and said: "Yesterday, we lost the game, I believe everyone is very uncomfortable, but a loss is a loss, as the coach said just now, we at least find the reason for the loss, otherwise it will be meaningless for us to lose, it is not the regular season, we have time to correct, it is now the Western Conference Finals, our opponent is also the Spurs who have fought a bloody way in many teams, they have excellent players like Robinson, Barkley and Duncan, we are absolutely careless." But look at our game yesterday, from the carelessness at the beginning of the game, to the impatience in the middle of the game, the disappointment at the end of the game, is that still the spirit of our rocket, the team that never gives in, never gives up, is gone, replaced by an impetuous, arrogant, irresponsible team, just like that, we still want to fight for the highest honor, is that a dream, I hope everyone wakes up from the atmosphere of the regular season, now is the playoffs, if you lose one game, you may go home to the playoffs, I don't want you to leave after a busy season, so that's all I have to say. ”

With that, Olajuwon sat back in his chair.

Olajuwon's words were like a hurricane, sweeping through the hearts of the Rockets players and hitting everyone's spirits like a hammer.

The Rockets' players all lowered their heads, thinking about their performance in yesterday's game.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that yesterday's game, the Rockets were a loose game, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that my performance yesterday was really bad.

Looking at this situation, Lao Tang nodded to Olajuwon with satisfaction, and said in his heart: It seems that the communication with Hakim last night was very successful, and today's Rocket players can have such a performance.

Lao Tang continued to look at the Rockets' players and said, "Who else do you want to talk about, and see if you have any different views on yesterday's game." ”

As soon as the words fell, Garnett stood up and said to Lao Tang: "Coach, I also want to share my opinion. ”

Old Tang nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Garnett said a little excitedly: "Guys, in yesterday's game, when I didn't hear Hakim speak, I thought I played very well yesterday, thinking that I had done my best, but now that I think about it, what are those, the success of a player depends on the success of the team, the Lakers star Elgin?" Baylor has reached the finals eight times, but failed to win a championship, and although he was also selected as one of the top 50 superstars, if he can win more than 4 championships, what will his place in history look like. Just like Michael now, if he doesn't have five championship rings in his hand, then his place in history is just a super machine, and he can't reach such heights at all. The best example is the old man of the Lord of the Rings, Russell, who holds 11 championship rings, is a milestone in the history of the league, so, I now know one thing deeply, while achieving a great team, we are also achieving great players, we play basketball just want to be able to earn money in the future when we are young, and then we can burn our name in the history of the NBA, maybe we were too impatient yesterday, or maybe there was something wrong with the way we played yesterday, But I don't think that's the key, the most important thing is whether you have lost your yearning for victory and the burning heart for victory.

We can do anything to win, we are fearless in order to win, we do everything we can to win, we didn't do that yesterday, but I will work hard in the future. ”

Garnett, who said this, was impassioned and very infectious.

For a while, the players of the Rockets applauded desperately, and the morale that was hit in yesterday's game was restored at this moment.

Olajuwon and Garnett, the two current and future leaders, have completely aroused the passion of the Rockets players with a cold and hot attitude.

Lao Tang also nodded secretly when he looked at such a scene, it seems that the future leader of the rocket has grown up.

Looking at the jubilation below, Lao Tang motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Today's meeting, in fact, is to let everyone summarize the experience and lessons, we all know that we are a high-profile team this year, our regular season record has been eye-catching, and the playoffs have the same 7-0 record, I think this kind of result, more or less let everyone have a heart of arrogance and pride, in fact, this is nothing, there are many people here are young people, It's normal to have such a situation in the face of consecutive victories. However, this kind of psychology will become more and more serious as the game deepens, in fact, I am very glad that we are now playing in the Western Conference Finals instead of the Finals, if this situation occurs in the Finals, then we are really dangerous, the Spurs are not the Bulls after all, in the Spurs only Barkley alone has the experience of the Finals, and it is also the experience of failure, we have Hakim and Clyde, Robert, who have won championships in the team to play, as long as they are, We're not going to drop the chain at the most critical moment, but young people have to learn to accept setbacks, think about what everyone got after last year's finals, I think everyone got what you don't get in the usual games, look at our regular season games this year, if it weren't for the lessons of last year's failure, I don't think there would be no glory this year. This year, we are making a comeback, we can't be losing, we can't be a stepping stone for others, this year's victory will be ours, we are destined to be champions. ”

As Lao Tang said the last sentence, the Rockets players also stood up and began to chant.

Looking at the passionate Rocket players, Lao Tang took out the tactical information prepared in advance.

began a comprehensive explanation, and after an hour of sprinkling, Lao Tang finished explaining this information.

Looking at Lao Tang, who had already finished his own business, Tiger walked to the front of the conference room and said, "Guys, in fact, you played really in yesterday's game?????? It stinks, hehe, it's true, not your technical aspect, but your psychology, you have lost a championship heart yesterday, a heart to win. But today I watched that heart come back, and I hope that in the next game, you can let the Spurs know that the dignity of a championship is not so easy to trample on. ”

After saying this, Tiger looked at the Rockets players so calmly.

Silent and quiet, but full of flamboyance and agitation.

At this moment, in fact, everyone discovered that the real core of the rocket was this young man.

This young man single-handedly created a new rocket.

After a reacquaintance and understanding, the second game of the Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and the Spurs began.

What the Spurs didn't expect was that the Rockets in front of them had completely changed, the offense and defense were more aggressive, the kind of smooth offense, steely defense, sharp fast offense, steady half-court offense, the familiar Rockets are back.

This return brings happiness to the Rockets' home fans, joy, wanton celebration after the slam dunk, and a shocking compliment after a wonderful match.

This return brings the Spurs despair, frustration, helplessness after being ravaged, and pain that breaks through the entire defense system.

From the first second of the game, the Rockets mastered the rhythm of the court, and that control was from start to finish.

Without a minute or a second of relaxation, looking at the rockets in this state, the Spurs could only surrender their guns and admit defeat.

At the end of the game, the 102:86 Rockets won and tied the score to 1:1.

After the game, Vicky was asked why there was such a big difference in the performance of the Spurs in the two games, and Vicky replied: The second game is the real performance of the Rockets, we are very fortunate to have a win on their home court, we have achieved our goal, and now it will be up to us to play at home.

Hearing these words, Tiger scoffed, and Tiger still said simply: Look at me, the game has just begun, there will be people disappointed, we are destined to be champions.
