Tang Tian nodded with satisfaction at this time.

This is a bit like the lightning Baria in his previous life.

If an NBA player wants to mix in the league, the least he must have is a skill.

Speed is Barria's specialty.

Compared to ability, experience, and even confrontation, Barria and Iverson are not at the same level at all.

But speed and positivity can make up for a lot.

Such a player is not destined to become a star, but he can become a wonder soldier in an instant.

Thibodeau and Cole looked at Tang Tian with astonishment at this time, Barria's performance before and after was like the two of them, Tang Tian was really amazing.

Barria hit both free throws to score the fourth point of his career.

Karl couldn't sit still over there, he replaced Iverson in advance, originally wanted to use his hot touch to open up the difference, but now it's good, but the Rockets are playing with momentum.

He hurriedly replaced all the main players on the field.

Tang Tian saw Carl's substitution, and then also replaced the main force on the field at one time.

With this lineup, the Rockets did not have an advantage in the first quarter.

But now after Barria was yelled at by Tang Tian, it was like beating chicken blood, and he used his speed to stick to Iverson all the way.

Although it is impossible to completely limit Iverson, after Iverson's performance was not so hot, the Rockets opened up the difference little by little.

By the second half of the third quarter, the Rockets had led the Nuggets by as many as 15 points, 86-71.

"I don't know what happened in the second quarter, it seems that Coach Tang Tian said something to Barria, although I don't know what it was said now, but it successfully aroused Barria's fighting spirit, which also changed the direction of the game." After watching Barria's performance before and after, Brin couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I didn't expect Coach Tang Tian to have the ability to adjust players, he really surprised us again and again, it seems that the Rockets are expected to end their three-game losing streak at home tonight." Jackson chimed in.

The commentators always turn the wind the fastest, and the Rockets successfully dispelled their doubts with their performance.

Both sides began to substitute at the end of the third quarter.

The Rockets' bench group also stabilized the point difference, and the game looked like it was about to end.

But unexpectedly, in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets were still 15 points behind, and Carl changed all the main forces back, looking at the posture is still unwilling to admit defeat.

Tang Tian didn't know what kind of medicine Carl was selling in this gourd, but the opponent was also a thousand-level coach, so he didn't take it lightly, and also replaced the main force on the field.

The Rockets' offense, Barria held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and at this moment, Iverson suddenly rushed to the frontcourt and began to press.

Iverson's defensive prowess has been underrated, not just because he dominates the steal charts for many years, but because his pressing ability is among the best in the league.

Barria was fast, but his possession was only league average, and he was forced by Iverson several times in a row, and although he barely kept the ball, he couldn't get past halftime.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blew on the sidelines, blowing the Rockets for an eight-second pass violation.

Tang Tian immediately stood up from his seat.

He turned his head to look at Carl who was standing on the other side, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, although it was a little late, but the old coach still found the biggest weakness of the Rocket team.

Here Anthony scored a turn and fell back, and on the other side, Iverson forced Barria to make a pass error, and Smith scored a layup.

The difference of 15 points has become 11 points in the blink of an eye.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

"Team Rocket is in trouble right now." Brin said when he saw this, but his expression was excited, this game was no longer just a competition between players on the field, but a battle of wits and courage between Tang Tian and Carl, a famous coach on the field.

"Is there anything else Don can do? Or is he going to Blake? Jackson said as he looked at the Rockets' bench.

"Coach, it's my fault." As soon as he was out of the scene, Barria spoke.

"No, it's none of your business, Steve, you're ready to play."

Sure enough, Tang Tian pointed to Blake, who was still wearing a training uniform, and said.

Blake was already ready, and when he heard Tang Tian's words, he quickly stripped off his training clothes.

"Let's not be in a hurry, Steve went up and pushed the ball through the half, T-mac, you do the reception in the backcourt, we are still 11 points ahead, we have worked hard for more than three quarters, and we can't give up the win to the opponent."

Tang Tian first said a word to stabilize the mood of the players, and then took out the tactical board to lay out detailed offensive tactics.

After the timeout, there was a burst of cheers from the fans, who waited all time and seemed to finally see Blake appear at the last minute.

Blake's strength is only average in the league, but fans are clearly more interested in new things, especially in this situation, and there is a feeling of imminent order.

The Rockets' offense, Blake advances with the ball.

Iverson still came up to press.

It was clear that Blake's possession of the ball was much better than Barria's.

However, Iverson's pressing ability was really strong, and he almost broke the ball off several times in a row, and Blake finally staggered to dribble the ball through the half.

This consumed nearly 8 seconds of the Rockets' offensive time.

Blake directly reached out to do tactical cleanup, Millsap mentioned the three-point line to do the pick-and-roll, after he dribbled, he only glanced at it, and then shook his hand and gave the ball to Yao Ming.

The fans at the scene felt that the speed of the ball was so fast.

Like Barria, Blake isn't the kind of player who can be a core, but he has the same skills as Barria, which is playmaking and three-pointers.

Organization, not only about assists, but also about being fast, passing the ball in a timely manner, and even having a wide field of vision, are all included in this.

After Yao Ming got the ball, the Rockets quickly launched a no-ball block, although some time was wasted in the half, but after this organization, time was still enough.

The Nuggets didn't have a bag on the ball, and Yao Ming directly ate Camby, causing the latter to foul.

Martin on the side jumped up to block, but stepped on the feet of his teammate Camby as he fell, and fell to the ground with a painful expression.

In the end, the team doctor on the sideline got on a stretcher and carried him directly out of the field

After this accident, Yao Ming hit two free throws, and the Rockets finally continued the score.

The Nuggets' offense, Anthony's strong attack hit again, and the Nuggets still clung to the score and retained their hope of winning.

The Rockets' offense, as soon as Blake got the ball, Iverson pressed up.

Tang Tian's deployment worked at this time, Blake turned around and quickly hit the ball, and the ball was in Maddie's hands in a blink of an eye.

Blake didn't stop after the ball, ran forward quickly, and then received Maddy's return pass, turned a hand and dribbled to the frontcourt.

Iverson's pressing was self-defeating.

Looking at the changes on the court, while admiring Tang Tian's ability, Brin couldn't help but sigh: "Alston's absence has made the Rockets' point guard group look like an upgrade." ”
