Legendary basketball manager

Defeating the Timberwolves, who are the only one in the West, is not something for the Rockets to boast about.

However, due to its special significance (tying record), many fans at home and abroad have heated discussions on the game.

In Huaxia on the other side of the ocean, an old fan named "Davidson School Bully" posted a post titled "Recalling the past, the road to the rise of the Rockets" in the Hupu forum.

The article wrote:

"Four years ago, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady led the 'civilian rockets' to create the second longest winning streak in nba history under the circumstances that no one was optimistic about.

22 straight wins!

It's a pity that the talent of the team at that time was too mediocre. Except for Yao Mai, no one could play alone.

Coupled with the cause of injuries, the Rockets quickly fell.

Time passed, and Shen Fei was born out of nowhere, becoming the new pride of the Chinese basketball world.

The "new rocket" he built has only Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, who are veterans of the past.

They were also not favored before the start of the season, but now they have reached the same node again-22 consecutive victories.

I have been a fan of the Houston Rockets since Yao Ming entered the NBA.

There is no doubt that this year is the year with the best chance to hit the championship.

I only hope that the Rockets can start from breaking the record and move towards the final peak step by step!

......

My youth was the Bull Dynasty, and my prime was the Yao-Mai combination.

But I hope that when I am old, I can talk to the younger generation about the story of Shen Fei building the rocket dynasty! "

This post does not have any fancy rhetoric, but between the lines, it is full of emotion.

Countless Rockets fans, oh no, it should be countless Chinese fans, when they read this article, they all had a lot of emotions.

They may be fans of other teams.

But this year, 99% of them are on the side of the Rockets!

There is no other reason, this Rockets team carries too many hopes of Chinese basketball!

Shen Fei - the first Chinese general manager in nba history, and now he has been promoted to become the first Chinese owner in history.

Yao Ming - the little giant of the East, countless fans have entered the NBA because of him.

Jeremy Lin - the first naturalized player in the history of Chinese basketball, is also the answer to the men's basketball point guard in the minds of many fans.

Yi Jianlian - the strongest talent after Dayao.

Although at the beginning of the season, some fans shouted all day long, "Chew the Green Arrows, take it easy, and only play 5 minutes in the first game", "Drink Yili, be energetic, and take one out of ten shots" and other jingles.

But the harder the scolding, the more fierce the ridicule... In fact, it is the performance of the fans who hate him for indisputable.

As the so-called, deep love, responsibility cut.

In the final analysis, everyone still hopes that Ah Lian can wake up soon and get out of the "quag".

Later, as Yi Jianlian joined the Rockets and had a brilliant performance outside the three-point line, Huaxia fans quickly began to support him again.

The nickname for Yi Jianlian has also changed from Green Arrows to Rockets!

And these four Chinese people appeared in a team at the same time.

Then there is no doubt that this team must be favored by Huaxia fans.

Even fans of some other teams have more or less such an idea in their hearts——

At least this year, let the Rockets win a championship and realize Dayao's dream of a championship!

Or: as soon as Shen Fei took over the Rockets, he kept emphasizing that he wanted to win this season's championship, and hoped that the result would not disappoint him.

In addition to winning the championship, breaking the previous 22 consecutive victories is what many fans want to see.

In a sense, this is like the Rockets team that carried the youth of countless fans back then, and it continues!

Therefore, when an old man commented below this article: "Beat the Spurs, win 23 consecutive victories, and win the championship!"

Follow-up fans instantly turned into repeaters, flashing this sentence on the screen:

"Defeat the Spurs, win 23 consecutive victories, and win the championship!"

"Defeat the Spurs, win 23 consecutive victories, and win the championship!"

"Defeat the Spurs, win 23 consecutive victories, and win the championship!"

......

And cctv5, which regards the Rockets as its "pro-son", also began to announce the game with great fanfare the day before the game.

"At 11:30 tomorrow morning, please lock on to CCTV! We will bring you the game between the Rockets and the Spurs."

"Whether we can make history depends on this battle!"

............

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

While the Huaxia fans were discussing the winning streak, some people were also studying how to beat the Rockets.

And the person who did the research was naturally the San Antonio Spurs.

Not long ago, the Mavericks lost to the Rockets at home.

The Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to successfully jump to second place in the Western Conference with a wave of winning streak.

This time facing the Rockets, who are unparalleled in the limelight, they are united and ready to make a big splash!

As early as two days ago, the Spurs generals took a special plane and arrived in Houston to prepare for the battle.

In two days, the legendary coach Popovich has organized players and held two video analysis meetings.

Now, it's their third meeting!

"We have analyzed all aspects before, this time it is just to make a summary and emphasize the key points."

Popovich looked around and spoke.

The generals of the Spurs headed by "GDP" nodded one after another, looking serious.

"First of all, the Rockets are the best team in the league right now."

"They may break out suddenly at any time, and in a very short period of time, hit a small climax, and instantly widen the point difference."

"However, there are many young people in the Rockets. If they have a big advantage, they will easily relax and their intensity will drop rapidly."

"So, even if they start to gain momentum, we don't need to panic. If we fight with a normal mind, it is very possible to wipe out the disadvantage."

Popovich analyzed clearly.

This veteran coach who is about to turn 62 years old has gray hair, but there is no aging in his brows.

A pair of tiger eyes, piercing and energetic, give people a feeling of calmness and prestige.

Not only that, Popovich is also one of the best tactical masters in the league.

The Spurs under him have the highest tactical quality in the league.

Moreover, Popovich is very good at expressing his thoughts clearly.

This not only benefits the players a lot, but even some assistant coaches benefit from it.

This can be seen from the fact that many "Spurs" coaches shine in other teams!

The Spurs generals nodded upon hearing this.

This is the conclusion they reached after replaying countless Rockets games in the past two days.

"Moreover...the Rockets have a strong bench lineup. They often exert their strength in the transitional period and catch their opponents by surprise."

"Through the video, we can see that Mark Jackson likes to use two transition lineups most recently."

"One set is a shooting team composed of Curry, McGrady, Danny Green, Tucker, and Yi Jianlian"

"The other set is the so-called 'ultimate basketball lineup': Tracy McGrady, George, Green, Tucker, Big Ben."

Popovich said succinctly.

"So... how to deal with these two lineups?"

Tony Parker wondered.

For the past two days, they haven't been able to figure out what works.
