The Godfather of Basketball

Reggie Miller declined the Rockets' invitation because he had just started working as a narrator.

Glenn Rice and Dale Ellis also rejected the Rockets for their own reasons.

打开 The phone that opened Sibodu at this time was Steve Cole, who had been a guest commentator at TNT for three years.

Cole Cole, a former super-role player in the Bulls dynasty, is the first player to make three-pointers in NBA history.

15 seasons, 4 seasons more than 50% three-pointer, 10 seasons more than 40%.

He isn't the one who hit the most three-pointers in NBA history, but the most accurate one.

Tang Tian is naturally more familiar with him. We must know that Cole, as the head coach of the Warriors in the future, has achieved unprecedented success and even broke the regular record of the Bulls' winning games.

没 He didn't mention Cole in front of him because he didn't think Cole would go out of the mountain, but he didn't expect to be moved by Thibodeau.

With Cole in there, the Rockets' three-pointer will definitely take it to the next level.

"Tom, you made a great contribution this time." Tang Tian raised his thumb to Xibodu.

Xibodu nodded with a smile, but did not show excitement. He understands that no matter how good the three-point practice is, it cannot be used as a conventional weapon.

After the game with the Mavericks, the Rockets ushered in a rare two-day break.

On the second day of rest, Tang Tian met Kohl who had completed the resignation procedures from TNT.

I was much younger than I remember. At this time, Cole was in his early forties and had just entered middle age.

"Steve, welcome to the Rockets coaching staff." Tang Tian extended his hands to Cole, welcoming him in the warmest way.

Wu Keer smiled and greeted Tang Tian, ​​and hugged him vigorously.

"Don, Steve came to the Rockets because of you." Just then, Thibodeau said.

"Really?" Tang Tian seemed surprised. Xibodu hadn't mentioned it to him before.

"Yes, I see your different understanding of basketball in this era." Cole took the words himself.

Tang Tian paused for a moment, then reached out and patted Cole's chest with a smile.

The Warriors team in his memory, because of Cole's arrival, set off a three-point frenzy in the league. It seems that his arrival has made all this ahead of time.

Back in the first training class in Houston, Tang Tian introduced the new member of the coaching staff, Cole, and the second assistant coach of the coaching team. He was mainly responsible for the team's daily shooting training. He transferred to do other things.

Tang Tian did not interfere with Cole's training method, and Cole's training method also made him shine.

Tang Tian's emphasis on three-pointers can be seen as soon as he comes to the Rockets. Rose also focused on fixed-point shooting at his request, but the effect was not obvious. He thought it was a frozen three-footer. It was a cold day, so I didn't interfere much.

But after Cole came, the first sentence completely denied Ross's training method, allowing the team to abandon the standing three-point training, instead of moving and interfering three-point training. Speed ​​requirements.

Tang Tian also understands the difference between them. There are very few opportunities for vacancies in formal matches. In contrast, three-pointers in opponents and moves make the most number of matches.

Sure enough, the surgery industry has a specialization. He asked Xibodu to find a three-pointer and he was right.

最后 At the end of Cole's placement of training subjects, Tang Tian still asked him to add an appropriate number of fixed-point threes.

There are two strong points of Yao Ming and McGrady. There is always a need for three-pointers.

"Yes, I forgot Yao and T-mac, this is really needed." Cole was pointed out by Tang Tian, ​​and did not appear unhappy, but rather humblely accepted.

Tang Tian nodded with satisfaction. A harmonious coaching team can let the team exert its maximum strength.

火箭 After a two-day break, the Rockets ushered in a relatively easy schedule.

First they went to Orlando to challenge the Magic, followed by Charlotte to the Hornets, and finally went to the remote town of Milwaukee to play with the Bucks.

After a wave of trips to the Toyota Center, they played against the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Clippers and the New Orleans Hornets at home.

With increasingly mature offensive tactics, targeted defensive systems, and average opponent strength, the Rockets achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.

After this wave of games, Tang Tian's coaching record has become 8 wins and 2 losses, which is quite outstanding.

However, compared to the record, Tang Tian is more happy to see the team members' improvement in three-point training. After half a month, it has changed.

打 Strike iron while he is hot, he proposed adjustments to tactics at the regular meeting of the coaching staff ~ www.novelmtl.com ~. The biggest change is the percentage of three-pointers, which mentioned 40% from the original 30%.

虽然 Although this change came a little abruptly, everyone guessed from the focus of the team's training. No one raised objections.

After the regular meeting, Tang Tian returned to the office.

刚 As soon as he sat down, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Tangtian said, raised his head, and then saw that it was Xibodu.

伯 Sibodu looked sad, and when he came in, he closed the door.

"Tom, is there something wrong?" Tang Tian was puzzled when he saw the mystery of the **** Xibodu.

Xibodu went to sit opposite Tang Tian, ​​hesitated for a while, and then said, "Don, I don't think it is good to make tactical adjustments at this time."

"How do you say?" Tang Tian looked at Xibodu in doubt.

"I think it's been about a month and a half since you started taking over the team's offense. Our players have adapted to your offensive system, and they have played well." Xibodu said, looking at Tang Tian.

"Yes, we made a very good start." Tang Tian nodded.

"And you still ... let me be honest, I have spent so many years in the NBA, and for the first time I have seen changes to the team's tactics in this situation, which is a bit risky." Xibodu bluntly said.

"So don't you think we should change?" Tang Tian asked.

"At least not now." Thibodeau expressed his thoughts.

"Tom." Tang Tian looked at Sibodu. "Your suggestion is right. This is indeed risky, but there are reasons worth doing."

Xibodu looked at Tang Tian in doubt.
