Chapter 52: Attack on Baria (Part 3)
Seeing Tang Tian stand up, the players on the Rocket bench were all puzzled.
Cole and Thibodeau also didn't know what was going on, and when they saw Tang Tian's serious expression, they felt that nothing good would happen next.
"Hey, don't you want to mess around in this alliance?" Tang Tian stretched out his hand and patted Barya's head directly.
The players on the side of the Rocket Team were all stunned, Tang Tian's sudden performance was not quite the same as usual!
Baria raised his head blankly, and then saw Tang Tian's serious face.
"I don't demand anything from you on the offensive end, just let you use your speed to keep up with that kid Iverson, why can't you even do this?"
The team members on the side were all stunned, it was the first time they had seen Tang Tian talk like this.
"I ......," Barria was even more stunned.
"Iverson and he're 31 years old, what about you? You're only 22 years old! You're a 22-year-old, can't you keep up with a 31-year-old veteran? You say, don't you want to get mixed up in this alliance? ”
Tang Tian's series of words were almost shouted, and Barya's face turned red when he was spoken.
"He'll break through, won't you prevent him from breaking through? Don't you know that he can't score three points? Wouldn't you look for your teammates to help you defend? Can't you even follow him the whole time when he's off the ball? Tell me loud if you can, you can't get the hell out of Team Rocket tomorrow! ”
"Yes!" Barria shouted with almost trembling hands.
Tang Tian saw that his eyes were bloodshot, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and then motioned for him to play.
In his previous life, the university he led didn't have many stars, but he was able to lead them to the finals because of a kind of momentum.
Sometimes, what you think you can't do will never be possible, and once you think you can do it, what seems impossible may end up being really done by you.
He may not know that much about anyone else, but Barria had a summer league with him, and he knew that this player from Puerto Rico was the same as the students he had coached.
"Toot!"
A long whistle sounded from the sidelines, and both teams made substitutions, with the Nuggets bringing on Iverson and Martin, while the Rockets brought on Barria and Yao Ming.
"Coach Tang Tian's heart is really big, and he let this undrafted pick play, I think if he continues to play, this first game may be his last game in the NBA." Jackson couldn't help but sigh when he saw the Rockets' substitution adjustments.
"Tang Tian is still a little too young and inexperienced, I can understand using this draft before, but I know that I can't prevent it and still use it, and I'm a little paranoid, even if I continue to use Hyde, the effect may be better." Brynn chimed in.
Tang Tian sat back on the bench.
Seeing Tang Tian's expression return to calm, Xibodu on the side dared to speak: "Are you okay?" ”
Tang Tian shook his head, and then looked at the field.
Don't let him down, Barria!
After a timeout, the Nuggets attacked, and Iverson motioned to his teammates on the outside to pull away.
At this time, the main team of the Rockets has not returned, and he has to take advantage of this period to score some more points for the Nuggets.
After his teammates opened up space, he glanced at Barria and accelerated straight inside.
He didn't know why the Rockets used a draft pick to defend themselves, but the first quarter of the game proved that he could easily take out an opponent without even having to cross over.
"Smack!"
However, his carelessness paid the price, and Barria made a lightning shot and slapped the ball out of his hand.
Hyde on the other side was quick and grabbed the ball with one hand.
The Rockets quickly pushed back and at this moment, the audience let out an exclamation.
A figure on the field rushed from the back to the front like lightning.
Barria!
Hyde took advantage of the situation to get the ball over, and Barria didn't lose his speed after receiving the ball, and scored a layup before Diawara's block.
"What a speed!" Brynn, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but exclaim.
Jackson, who was on the sidelines, was also wide-eyed, and as a defender, he certainly knew how important speed is to a defender.
Tang Tian finally smiled off the field.
Barria's current technical characteristics are speed, so he can't shoot three-pointers and play unreliable, but being a wonder soldier is the perfect fit.
This was his pre-match arrangement, but his plan would not be realized until he finished yelling.
Iverson frowned, similar height, fast speed, Barria in front of him reminded him of the Tyronn Lue in the Finals.
The Nuggets' offense, Iverson motioned for his teammates to pull away again.
This time he didn't underestimate the enemy again, and after a trademark crossover he managed to shake off Barria.
Facing Yao Ming's assistance, he dodged the opponent with a super big lever.
But just as he was about to make a move, a hand hit him on the arm.
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle blows on the sidelines, and Barria's thug fouls.
Iverson looked stunned, this Barria's speed was really fast, he had obviously thrown it off before.
Iverson hit both free throws to add points for the Nuggets.
The Rockets' offense, Yao Ming's mid-range shot missed, and the rebound was won by None.
Iverson went to the front court and then burst into Barria, and this time Yao Ming pounced to defend.
Iverson tossed the ball to Martin for a transition and then went straight to the basket.
He raised his hand to catch the ball, but when he turned his head, he found Barria clinging to him like a ghost, standing between him and Martin.
The crowd on the sidelines was dumbfounded, the speed was simply amazing.
Martin saw that he couldn't give it over, so he turned around and hooked his hand.
However, Yao Ming was still unceremonious, and rewarded him with a big hot pot with a wave of his hand.
The basketball flew straight out of the court, and at that moment, a figure swooped down.
Or Barria!
"Smack!"
Barria threw himself out and then used his hand to bring the ball back into the field before it hit the ground.
The ball returns to the court and is grabbed by Hyde.
Barria collided with the audience in the first row.
The fans at the scene were moved, this Baria and the previous Baria have completely changed!
Barria didn't have time to apologize to the audience after he fell, and one rolled over and rushed to the front.
At this time, no one noticed his return, and after Yao Ming, who was holding the ball, saw him, he shook his hand and sent a second pass.
With speed, Barria lifted his body sideways in the air and sent it to the basket.
"Smack!"
Martin slapped him on the hand and was whistled for a thug foul.
It was a bit heavy, but Barria got up quickly after landing and shook his hand to the free throw line.
The audience was inexplicably excited.
This undrafted draft has suddenly become so strong.
