I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 268 Maddie Returns
Toyota Center, Rockets head coach office.

"Yao, I came to you today to talk about Tracy. You know, he has a very strong desire to fight recently. I want to ask for your opinion." Adelman asked straight to the point.

"You are the head coach, and all tactics should be deployed according to your ideas." Dayao replied happily.

This top hat made Adelman very comfortable. He thought to himself, Yao Ming deserves to be the team's top card, and his quality is high!
"But—" Dayao suddenly changed the topic.

Adelman's ears perked up.

"I think that if Tracy's body is fine, you should give him enough playing time. Although he had some troubles with the team before, but recently, I have observed that he has become a lot more practical. China There is a saying that money is never exchanged for a prodigal son. Since he is willing to change, why doesn't the team give him a chance! Besides, his talent is exactly what the team needs most!"

Dayao welcomed McGrady's return, which surprised Adelman.

"But have you ever thought that his return may destroy the team's chemical reaction, and in addition, he will compete with you for the position of the team leader?" Adelman simply made it clear.

"Coach, I believe in Tracy's talent, and I also believe in his character. Since he is actively fighting, he must want to contribute to the team! As for the boss, I think there is only one boss in the team. That's the head coach!"

This remark not only showed his position, but also flattered him along the way.Old Ah Ting's heart was full of joy, and the sun was shining brightly when he smiled.I kept sighing in my heart: Look, how can someone become a star, this is really sensible!Dayao's EQ must be at least as tall as his height!

The same problem happened between Mosaic and Metta World Peace.

Yes, in order to improve efficiency, Adelman and Mosaic made a division of labor, talking to important players individually.

"Metta World Peace, if Tracy wants to come back to play, will you accept it?"

Ci Shiping stared bull-eyed, and looked at Mosaic with a ferocious face.Mosaic was taken aback by this glaring King Kong appearance.

"What do you mean? Do you think there is any problem between me and Tracy? Although I had a dispute with her, it was about the game, not the person! Or, do you think I am a villain who must revenge? ?!"

Mosaic quickly shook his hands: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be disrespectful to you at all, I'm just worried that Tracy's return will destroy the team's chemical reaction, so I came to ask for your opinion! This is for you Respect!"

Only then did Ci Shiping hum heavily: "Hmph, that's just right! What kind of chemical reaction, the ball is produced by hitting, not by speaking! I only know that we need Tracy's talent. I have already done it in these two games Kobe is about to torture me crazy, let McGrady deal with Kobe!"

"But what if he makes another old mistake on the field?" Mosaic asked weakly, worried.

"Whoever dares to steal and play tricks in the playoffs, I will definitely teach him a lesson! My fists are not vegetarian!"

As he said that, Ci Shiping slammed his fist hard on the mosaic desk, causing all the decorations on the desk to jump.

Sending away the Lord Ci Shiping, Mosaic wiped the sweat from his forehead, wanting to cry, but he really failed as the general manager. too!

The same question was asked about Battier, Scola, and even Dikembe Mutombo, who has been injured and basically determined to retire.Unexpectedly, everyone gave an affirmative answer.

These athletes are far more innocent than the uniform group imagined. After experiencing the battlefield of the playoffs, they are more united, more determined, and their goals are clearer: just to win!

In the end, it was Dorsey who asked for opinions. He was also the only young player among the players who were asked for opinions.

In fact, according to Mosaic, there is no need to ask at all. From the previous fight between the two of them, it can be seen that the two are incompatible.

Mosaic doesn’t need to ask. It’s not that Dorsey’s opinion is unimportant, but that Dorsey has a veto power. As the team’s main scorer and the hottest new star in the league, if he disagrees, then McGrady is still Don't come back yet.

However, Adelman felt that he still had to ask, even if it was just a procedure.

This time Mosaic and Adelman talked together, fully reflecting the importance of Dorsey.

But Dorsey's answer once again exceeded the expectations of the two.

"Tracey? Of course I welcome him back! What are you waiting for, put him on the court quickly, immediately, immediately! Now we are just shivering with the Lakers, plus his $2000 million talent, eliminate The Lakers are just around the corner!"

Dorsey's mouth was like a machine gun balabala, which made Mosaic and Adelman stunned.

Mosaic wondered: "Didn't you have a feud with him? You even fought!"

"What fight? We were communicating with our fists! Sometimes, to open the heart of such a boring gourd, you have to use some special methods! Look, the effect is actually very good!"

"..."

Both Mosaic and Old Ah are speechless, the world is so crazy, the mice are even being bridesmaids for the cats!

The third game between the Lakers and the Rockets was played at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Although the players were consulted before the game, Adelman still did not play McGrady in the starting lineup, and still used the starting lineup from the previous game.

He can't be completely blamed for being conservative. The playoffs are so crucial. As the coach of the team, he must consider issues more comprehensively than the players.

He decided to wait and make a decision based on the situation on the court.In case, the Rockets played well this time, there is no need for McGrady to play!
Soon, he found that the situation did not allow him to hesitate any longer.

Back in Houston, the Rockets hope to continue to show their tenacity and tenacity, while their opponents, the Lakers, not only showed toughness than usual, but also significantly higher technical and tactical capabilities.

This series hit the third game, and the Lakers finally played their highest level.In other words, the Rockets used their wonderful performances in two away games to force out their highest level.

The Lakers realized that going through this series was not as easy as they thought, they had to go all out and play the right way.

They no longer play so spring and snow, playing beautiful basketball with pure skills.They started to use more physical confrontation, adding more receiving and running.When the Rockets played tough, they also worked hard to make themselves tougher, not to be intimidated by the home atmosphere of the Toyota Center and the momentum of the Rockets.

When the two teams are in the same game attitude, the Lakers firmly grasp the initiative by relying on their overall tactical quality and the personal ability of the stars.

Especially Kobe, when he got serious, he completely mastered the tricks of dealing with Ci Shiping's defense.

Relying on his skillful dribbling skills, he controlled the ball in his own hands. Once Ci Shiping came up to fight, he would pass the ball to his teammates, and then make an air cut. Once Ci Shiping was a little far away from him, he would lead The ball breaks through and shoots directly.

Whether it is technically or spiritually, he has crushed the opposing Metta Shiping.

Kobe scored again and again, which made Ci Shiping very helpless. Not only could he not limit the opponent's scoring, but he even fell into a foul crisis early.

Ci Shiping could only keep looking at Adelman on the sidelines, which meant to say: What are you waiting for?I can't hold it anymore!

Old Ah's hesitant and conservative habit has recurred, and he has been unable to make up his mind to replace McGrady.

Finally, with 2 and a half minutes left before the end of the second quarter, Ci Shiping fouled a thug, which cost him his fourth foul of the game.

If there is no change, Ci Shiping will be fined again!

The helpless old Ah had to change.

For a moment, the audience in the Toyota Center was in an uproar, and the audience seemed to have seen aliens.

Their No. 1 McGrady actually played!
