Unlike the Celtics who need to adjust, the Rockets' tactical execution has implemented Van Gundy's ideas, so the bald man didn't say much, just asked everyone to continue like this.

In fact, even when he is behind in the score, Van Gundy will not think that there is any mistake in his tactics. He is more accustomed to using analysis and data to tell his players that the tactics are fine. This is because you are not good at execution, at least not precise enough. Therefore, in addition to being rigid, Van Gundy also has a stubborn personality.

But Van Gundy never admits this. His coaching style does not require others to point fingers.

It is probably a problem with many coaches, but it is particularly obvious in Van Gundy. In fact, Rivers is the same. Maybe no one likes to listen to other people's opinions when making decisions.

It is a good thing to win over the world, but the head coach of a team always has to have some ideas.

"When breaking through, pay more attention to the running position of the inside teammates, and pay more attention to rationality between the inside and outside passes and pick-and-roll cooperation. If there is no chance, don't force a breakthrough, and don't forcefully shoot."

A guy like Van Gundy, who has extremely strict tactics, will remind these most basic things even when the team is playing smoothly. He needs the advantage in the scene to continue to maintain it.

A six-point lead is nothing in the NBA game, and a reversal can be completed with two three-pointers. Van Gundy would not naively think that the Celtics will always be so sluggish. He just wants the opponent to play a little more awkwardly and completely lose his usual sense of rhythm. In this way, the Rockets' winning odds will increase.

If you can win the game, no one is willing to let go, and Van Gundy is the kind of head coach who will not lose the game easily.

Although the success or failure of a game will not affect much, Van Gundy is building a team that can go further in the playoffs. He has to start with the details. This guy doesn't want the bad luck of losing to the Mavericks last year to hit the scene again. This season's Rockets are not just focusing on the goal of breaking through the first round.

If he had the opportunity to go further, no one would object. Moreover, Van Gundy obviously believed that his team had this strength, but he had to always remind his players to be fully focused.

The Rockets' strength is no worse than the Knicks team that created the Black Eight Miracle. Maybe they are not as strong as those guys, but in terms of tactical execution, the Rockets now have obvious advantages.

Especially the dual-core combination of McGrady and yao Ming can occupy a place in the entire league. What the Rockets need now is to integrate the offense and defense of the entire team based on these two guys.

Maybe Van Gundy is still unsatisfied with the player selection, but for the Rockets team, their stable performance and pretty good results are something they have never had in previous seasons.

Since Olajuwon left, the city has not had such a competitive team for a long time. Even if they have not achieved the best in details or results, it is enough to make fans happy.

Sometimes their performance has fluctuations, but compared to the results of previous seasons, it is already very good. Now the Rockets are strideing forward, trampling the former trough.

However, the game against the Celtics started well. Even the strict Van Gundy felt that the team was doing a good job in defense. On the defensive end, they could trap the opponent's hands and feet, making the Celtics' smooth offense unable to be played, especially because they limited the Celtics' offensive efficiency in the inside.

This is the most important point. Play as you deserve and then drag the opponent into awkward rhythm. This is Van Gundy’s request before the game. Everything is going well now. All you have to do is continue to maintain this tough posture, especially in the inside line. You must completely let the Celtics’ offense be completely extinguished!

Van Gundy has been thinking about the Celtics' offensive path. The fast recovery speed of Boston this season probably surprised many people. The violent style of inside offense is the biggest change of the Celtics. Van Gundy doesn't want his team to become a stepping stone on the Bostonians' road to success. Therefore, it is the wisest choice to create some trouble for them where the opponent is best at.

The opening stage of the entire game was really as Van Gundy wished. Not only did they curb the fierce offensive style of the Celtics' previous games, but they also blocked the opponent's inside line.

Jefferson lost his temper by Yao Ming's two big hats. Van Gundy really hoped that guy could continue to stay on the court so that he could continue to use Jefferson's already messy offensive rhythm to do something.

Compared with simple blocks, Van Gundy was more satisfied with that they successfully reduced the Celtics' offensive efficiency. They made these guys feel uncomfortable. The Bostonians have lost their way in the positional battle. This is the result Van Gundy wants most. He needs the players to continue to maintain it now.

"Continue to put pressure on the opponent on the defensive end and try to destroy their cover attacks. Raf, you have to continue to entangle the opponent's No. 9, make the first-year rookie more nervous, and make his mistakes more. From the second when the Celtics attack begins, it will destroy the rhythm of their habits."

"yao, you need to make more defenses in the interior. Jefferson may be replaced. If the opponent replaces Perkins, the offensive firepower will be weakened, but I ask you to prevent another firepower point as much as possible on the defensive end. The interior has always been the Celtics' most important offensive direction. Don't let them open the situation. You have to interfere with the guy wearing No. 99 clothes as much as possible. He has a very flexible movement in the interior."

"Your defense was very timely in the first few minutes. I hope to continue to maintain this defensive intensity. Even if Jefferson is replaced, their other inside offensive point will not make us live too easily."

Although he was ahead in the score, Van Gundy didn't want to be careless, especially in the inside. Even if Jefferson was replaced, it did not mean that the Celtics had shifted the focus of the offense, and the bald boy was also very dangerous.

Especially when Van Gundy saw Chen Feng pulling to the outside twice to cooperate with Pierce for pick-and-roll, he paid more attention to his moving range and quick running position. During those two defenses, Zhu Wan Howard was wrong.

Moreover, when Chen Feng crossed his position with his teammates, he often made quick turns and stopped and threw away the pursuers behind him.

Even old guys like Zhuwan Howard were tricked by his running position. Yao Ming, who had a slow movement speed, naturally could not underestimate the first-grade novice. He had to stare at the opponent firmly to completely strangle the Celtics' inside offense. It can be seen that Van Gundy attaches great importance to Chen Feng's existence.

If Jefferson is replaced, Chen Feng will likely be given more offensive space. Van Gundy dare not expect Zhu Wan Howard, who has always been stronger than defense, to stare at that kid in one-on-one matchup.

The confrontation just now has proved that Juwan Howard's defense is still a scar for the Rockets, so don't expect him to perform unexpectedly. However, Perkins' offensive ability in the inside is average, Van Gundy can now let Yao Ming free his hands against Chen Feng, destroy Jefferson first, and then let Chen Feng be silent. If all of this is done, then the Celtics' most relied on the inside offense will be considered useless.

After watching the previous game video, Van Gundy has been paying close attention to Chen Feng, who is wearing the No. 99 uniform. He has emphasized more than once that guy has strong offensive ability, especially his destructive power at the basket, which often helps the Celtics reverse the situation on the court. Van Gundy doesn't want to let that guy go wild in Houston.

"I understand." yao Ming's answer is very simple and straightforward. Although the Rockets are one of the dual-core teams, yao Ming's good temper and his modesty make him rarely refute when dealing with the tasks assigned by the coach.

Even if the coach's arrangement sometimes seems a bit unreasonable, this guy won't say much, especially during the game, he rarely expresses his meaning. Most of the time, he just says that he will implement tactical arrangements. I have to say that this is a very polite guy, but this habit is very bad.

The core players or big-name stars of each team will express to the coach very clearly what they can do and how to play habits, rather than treating every requirement, they will implement 100% of them, especially when the coach's arrangements conflict with them, those guys may not be obedient.

Kobe is a good example of the Lakers. When the Ok combination has not yet broken up, he sometimes asks Kobe to hand over the ball to O'Neal. But if the opportunity is good, Kobe never minds being a finisher. It is because of this that there will be conflicts between OK. It is not that the head coach has not mentioned these problems, but if the player thinks that his handling is fine, he may insist that this will not change.

The Qiao Bang is mainly a person who obeys the rules and does not score so many winning shots. On the basketball court, sometimes, good kids may not be able to make a name for themselves, and those who are a little unsubmissive may not be difficult to use.

A good player should know how to express his emotions, especially when communicating with the coach. If you don’t say it yourself, no one will know what you think. The coach’s task is not to guess your thoughts. There are many things he has to take care of and will not consider your mood. Being humble and low-key is a virtue, but if you are too low-key, sometimes you will cheat yourself, and sometimes you are too careful.

You can't see that when yaoming has problems with the team's offense, he scolds his teammates in a stern tone on the court, and he basically loses his temper because he is unhappy in playing, nor does he see that he controls the offensive rhythm by arbitrarily. Most of the time, this guy is cooperating with others instead of doing it himself.

It’s not that he doesn’t have the ability to end the offense, at least in the Houston Rockets, McGrady’s offensive level is better than him. If the rest of the guys are given a lot of the wave shots, maybe this guy averages more than 30 points per game, it’s a casual matter, but you really rarely see the little giants shooting endlessly.

As long as there is a chance, yao Ming will pass the ball to a teammate with a better position. Even if that guy's hit rate makes many people feel a little painful, yao Ming has never hesitated when it is time to pass.

This is something in the bones of Chinese people. They are humble and courteous, and do not like to show off. They hope to leave a good impression on everyone. So when they are in front of the media, they are definitely considered perfect.

There are few times when I ignore the media. More importantly, when facing reporters’ questions, I will answer most of the time. Only some questions about individuals or internal teams will be avoided.

But for yao Ming's evaluation, most people would say that he is a good person and a good player, but no one has ever said that he would be the leader of the Rockets. Even when McGrady was away, few people would say that. It is estimated that only Chinese press will write this in the newspaper. Houston fans only regard him as a member of the team and an important member, but the leader? I believe many people will subconsciously shake their heads.

It’s not that they don’t trust Yaoming’s personal abilities, but compared with those of Olajuwon, the little giant is really too quiet. Maybe he is very humorous and witty, but he lacks the courage of no one else.

In addition to the reason why Xie Miaomiao didn't go to Houston to report too much about yaoming's news, it was more because Chen Feng had a wild spirit that was not stingy and attracted her, making her feel very fresh. It was a temperament different from domestic players and even yaoming. No matter when, what kind of opponents they met, or how annoying the entanglement of the reporters was, Chen Feng seemed to have never cared about it.

Moreover, this guy is definitely not a very obedient player. On the court, he may change the tactical arrangements that Rivers had just arranged at any time. Rondo, Pierce, and these partners are often confused by Chen Feng's strange ideas. It is clear that he has always followed the rules, and he is far less than Chen Feng's ability to make trouble.

Yes, you have seen the scene where Yao Ming fought against O'Neal at the basket, but most of the time, whether it was a storm in his mouth or a confrontation, the little giant was more or less pressed by the big shark. But if Chen Feng met the big shark, this guy would not have the advantage in confrontation, but it would definitely impress O'Neal. Have you seen a few rookies who dared to make ground on the shark's head in the first grade? Chen Feng dared, and this guy was so bold that he dared to pull O'Neal to the floor and started a boxing match with himself.

Chen Feng's number of fans in China has surged, probably because of this. After all, after seeing the performance of good kids too much, everyone is looking forward to having a different feeling, and this bad kid is born in nowhere.

Facts have proved that Chen Feng's ability to tossing is really a bit unpredictable. When the game started again and the Celtics' offense started again, Van Gundy felt that he was still underestimating that kid.

The Rockets' offense has been playing smoothly before, so they didn't plan to change anything, and they were defending according to their usual rhythm. Alstom's entanglement with Rondo has never stopped. Pierce still followed Bathil like a shadow, and Perkins came up and faced Juwan Howard's follow-up defense, McGrady's defensive level was average, but Spreville's offense was not the same as in the Knicks at the beginning. All this seemed to be no different from the opening. The only change may be that Jefferson was not there, Chen Feng was transferred to the basket, and the fellow villager Yao Ming was following him.

The Celtics only changed one person, and Van Gundy's tactics would not change anything because of this, but such a simple change allowed all Rockets fans in the entire Toyota Center to see the consequences.

Rondo's ball control has been as steady as ever. Although Alstom's entanglement has been interfering endlessly, Rondo has lost the impatience of the opening stage after the timeout. Rivers has just hit his main point guard to calm him down and not be disturbed by the atmosphere on the court.

Although Rondo is a first-year novice and many people think he is a little tender, in the Celtics, an old guy like West who has played the NBA for several years may not be more experienced than Rondo.

So Rivers's tips on such a little guy is enough to let him understand how to fight, more importantly, after all, Rivers and Thibodeau are now cultivating Rondo as the successor that the Celtics can rely on in the future. With this ability, they care more about how to guide him.

Rondo's nervous system is definitely not a novice level. At least under Alstom's entanglement, he can still observe the situation on the court calmly and look for loopholes in the Rockets' defense to complete a beautiful assist. When Alstom's entanglement just felt a little hesitant, Rondo's basketball in his hand suddenly flipped into the three-second zone.

That is, in the absence of Rondo and Alstom's mistake, the pass quickly and quickly cut the Rockets' defense like a knife, and directly reached the near three-second zone. Chen Feng cut from the top of the arc at the same time. The cooperation between the two was like a biting gear, not bad at all. The whole movement passed like a wind. The Rockets' defense only had a brief pause, but this was enough for Chen Feng. He cut in at high speed, and Rondo's pass was very sudden. After grabbing the basketball, Chen Feng wiped himself into the basket. What cooperation did this kid have never considered this issue. At this critical moment, he wanted to give the noisy Houston fans a beautiful counterattack! Let them all shut up!

Yao Ming's reaction was really not slow. He had already moved his pace to block when Chen Feng cut in, but Chen Feng then rushed past Yao Ming's position at high speed. Although he rushed a little, this guy turned his body from the basket and forced himself to rise up.

After the rebound, the ball was already in the air. This seemed awkward posture was enough to let Chen Feng smash the basketball in his hand into the basket. He used this method to shake the hearts of Houston fans.

One follows the rules and the other goes uncommon. The confrontation between two Chinese players has given the so-called derby a little flavor for the first time...
