The reporter's focus immediately shifted from Van Gundy to Tang Tian.

"Don, how did you make this change?" The reporter who was standing to ask the question then asked.

Tang Tian smiled, but he didn't show smugness, but said humbly: "It's not me, it's us, including Coach Jeff, this change is achieved by the efforts of our entire coaching staff and players." ”

Tang Tian is not the head coach after all, and saying some modest words at this time is obviously more helpful to the whole team.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Van Gundy's originally stiff face softened a lot.

If as a head coach, he is compared to his own assistant coach, he will indeed be very embarrassed.

Dawson nodded with satisfaction, capable, not greedy, such an employee is really the management's favorite.

"Don, before the game, Kenyon Martin said that the yellow race should not be in this league, what do you think about this?" The second reporter who stood up to ask a question asked a sensitive topic very uninterestingly.

The atmosphere at the press conference suddenly became tight.

Dawson just wanted to open his mouth to remind this reporter.

"I think if he really says that, then he might be able to think about retiring early." Tang Tian said with a smile.

The reporter below was puzzled, and Dawson was also confused.

"After all, this kind of thing can only be said by the president of the alliance, if he retires now, he should be able to compete for the next president of the alliance after working in the management of the alliance for more than ten years."

"Haha~" As soon as Tang Tian's words fell, the reporters below were amused by his words.

Dawson couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and his gaze at Tang Tian became even more fond.

Wise and spineless answer, such a person has a natural personality charm.

Shortly after the press conference, Stern, the president who heard about the Martin incident, also made the decision to ban Martin for one game and fine him $3w5 for the first time.

Although discrimination against yellow people is common in Americans, it seems a bit untidy to say it in front of reporters.

A key victory, while proving Tang Tian's ability, also eased the tense atmosphere in the team a lot.

In competitive sports, winning is always the most effective way to solve a problem, as long as you can find it.

After winning against the Nuggets, the Rockets' upcoming schedule is very favorable for them.

The New York Knicks in turmoil, the young but ineffective Trail Blazers, and the Boston Celtics who are incarnate.

Taking advantage of the weakness of this wave of opponents, the Rockets practiced on behalf of the game, trying and running in the game.

Tang Tian also continued to fine-tune in the game, and slowly formed a set of playing styles that were more suitable for the Rockets' lineup.

And the Rockets also ushered in a wave of four consecutive wins.

Started with a four-game winning streak, which was Yao Ming's first time after joining the Rockets.

In this wave of four consecutive wins, the Rockets have been as usual on the defensive end, but the offensive end has been reborn, and they have averaged 102 points per game in four games, ranking first in the league in points per game.

The spectacle has also caught the attention of TNT, and in the latest episode of the show, host Barkley and Kenny Smith have a big conversation.

"Kenny, I'll give you a riddle, a team that was predicted to be the sixth from bottom in the league at the start of the season is now the first team in the league, guess which team it is?" Barkley said seriously.

"You still need to guess this, you can just look at the current record ranking table." Smith continued.

"Which team?" Barkley asked.

"Houston Rockets." Smith flipped through the rankings.

"Yes! Houston Rockets! Incredible! Barkley's expression was pompous.

"But I said, I said that as long as Yao Ming and Maddie are healthy and find a way for them to play, they can rule this league!" Barkley said and waved his arms vigorously, seemingly a little emotional.

"You say? I think I said that, right? Smith said with a smile.

"You say? I say? No, no, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that the Rockets found their way to win, they are averaging 102 points per game, first in the league, but conceding points per game is under 90 points, 89.2 points, second only to the Spurs and Pistons, so, does it matter? Does it matter? ”

Barkley spoke loudly, and Smith was left to laugh.

"But......" Barkley said abruptly, "their challenge is coming, and next Monday, they will have Miami...... The Heat, the annual Yao Shark showdown, the defending champion Heat. ”

"Yes, the Heat just won the first NBA championship in franchise history last year, 'Shaq' O'Neal, 'Flash' Wade, and they're in big trouble." Smith nodded.

"Who do you think will win the game?" Barkley lowered the volume.

"You're here again......" Smith looked helpless.

"So, how about we make a bet?" Barkley saw that Smith was not in high spirits and released his killer idea.

"Team Rocket? Are you sure? Have you forgotten the poor donkey you kissed on the ass? Smith said with a smile.

"Oh no! Kenny, you said you wouldn't mention it! Barkley kept shaking his head.

"So what are you going to bet on?" Smith asked.

"So, how about we bet on a dunk?" Barkley's eyes flickered.

"A dunk?" Buckley was curious.

"Yes, a dunk, the loser wore the same underwear from Adriana Lima at the Victoria's Secret Lingerie Show and did a dunk in the studio." Barkley said seriously.

"What?!" Smith exclaimed, this Barkley is playing a little big.

"Hey, man, it's live, are you sure?" Smith looked surprised, and it was clear that Barkley had an idea that came out of nowhere.

"Yes, are you coming?" Barkley looked at the posture and wanted to raise his eyebrows.

Smith was a little afraid to take it.

"In this way, you choose first, and I choose the other one, so that there is always someone to perform." Barkley deserves to be a "big mouth", and this time he made the show quite exciting.

Smith didn't accept it at this time, he pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Charles, you asked for it." ”

"Yes." Barkley nodded.

"As much as I want the Rockets to win, I think the first meeting of the season, the Miermians will win."

"So your choice is the Heat?" Barkley asked.

"Yes." Smith nodded, "The Rockets' offensive tactics are very novel, but among their opponents who have won four in a row, three of them are not high, the only Nuggets team, and they are still unprepared, although the Heat team has a bad start, but after all, the lineup that won the championship last season has not changed, and the Rockets' tactics are slowly being figured out, so I am more optimistic about the Heat." ”

Smith's analysis makes sense, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Heat team has largely retained last season's championship-winning squad.

"Okay, you choose reason, then I can only choose luck, I'm bullish on Team Rocket." Barkley said with a smile.

After TNT's show was broadcast, it immediately caused an uproar.

Imagine Barkley or Smith wearing Victoria's Secret underwear and dunking the ball in the live broadcast room, the picture is unbearable.

This is much more popular than Yao Ming's pro-donkey ass incident.

Almost instantly, the Heat and Rockets were the focus of attention across the league for next Monday's game.

But that's what Barkley and TNT want, and the fans have a lot of attention, so they can eat.
