Xibodu also understood what Tang Tian said.
The role players of the Rockets, except Millsap and Shane Battier, are not very good. In fact, let alone say that this year, Yao Mai has always been like this. The team has always lacked a strong third and fourth core.
As a coach, everyone hopes to have better players, but how to make good use of existing players is really like Tang Tian's metaphor, which is the key to winning the game.
After the press conference, some media's views on Tang Tian have changed a lot, and Xibodu admires Tang Tian more and more.
I am bold, capable, and the most important thing is to face the media, whether it is ridicule or praise, are very calm, not overbearing.
If Van Gundy leaves the Rockets, he will definitely be the first to support Tang Tian as head coach.
This has nothing to do with age and resume, it is simply recognition.
Xibodu just think about it in his heart, but what he didn't know is that the Rockets management surging undercurrents coincided with some of his ideas.
Dawson watched the game between the Rockets and the Nets. Tang Tian's employment, overall situation, and ability to direct the battle left him a deep impression.
Although he is only 22 years old and just became a temporary head coach of a game, Tang Tian's performance has already touched him somewhat.
Of course, this will take some time to observe.
Van Gundy has been absent from the game because of personal affairs, and the Rockets continue to play a strong role under Tang Tian's leadership.
After defeating the Nets, the Rockets ushered in a wave of consecutive home games.
In the face of the Yulu Bucks, they were bloodless and washed their opponents 110 to 87. Yao Mai teamed up to score 43 points. Millsap continued to perform hotly and scored 16 points. Novak on the bench ushered in a big explosion and appeared. In just 15 minutes, he hit 6 3-pointers and grabbed 18 points.
Against the powerful Raptors led by Bosh, the two sides played three semi-anxious matches. At the last moment, Yao Ming was in a hot state. He personally hit a wave of 10-0 attack. He pressed the "Dragon King" Bosh to the ground and rubbed it. The Rockets He also won the game and ushered in a wave of three-game winning streak. Yao Ming set a season high of 30 points in this game, but still sent the team's highest 7 assists.
After defeating the Raptors, the Rockets ushered in the Texas Civil War back-to-back and faced the Spurs. Yao Ming made another 11 of 17 shots and scored 28 points and 6 assists. McGrady also scored 22 points. However, the Rockets played in the bench. In the end, they Defeat opponents 93-97.
After a week of competition, under the leadership of Tang Tian, the Rockets achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.
With this excellent performance, the Rockets' record also rebounded to 9 wins and 4 losses, ranking second in the West, only one win behind the Mavericks.
I was on the first day of the new week, and Tang Tian was called to the general manager's office again by Dawson.
When Tang walked to the general manager's office, Tang Tian had made up his mind.
甘 Van Gundy has not appeared for a week. Although the team has performed well, the head coach has been away. This is obviously not a good thing.
He also asked Dawson several times before, but every time he was fooled, this time there will be a result anyway.
"Tang, sit down." Unlike the last time he met the office, Dawson no longer looked sad, but instead looked more red, as if there was something good that made him very happy.
Tangtian sat in doubt in front of Dawson.
"I know you have been asking me about Jeff." Before Tang Tian spoke, Dawson mentioned it himself this time.
"No matter what it is, I think the other members of the coaching staff must know, otherwise everyone is heartbroken." Tang Tian nodded.
嗯 "Well, it's because of this thing that called you today." Dawson said, taking out a document from the desk drawer.
Tangtian took a look at the document in doubt, and then found out that this was a resignation submitted by Van Gundy, and the date was displayed a week ago.
之前 "Before, Jeff submitted his resignation to me because of some things. You also know that the Rockets' goal this season is the championship, and the coach change is a big deal, so the team has been considering it and has not approved it."
Tang Tangtian put down this resignation at this time, and he already knew it.
This week, the management is looking at his ability to lead the team. The reason why he didn't tell him was obviously that he didn't want him to be affected by this incident.
The result was not the same, and Dawson went straight to the point: "After watching your lead this week, it wasn't just me, including team owner Alexander, who also agreed that you could be competent as the Rockets coach."
所以 "So ..." Dawson said and took out another document from the drawer.
"This is your new contract. The team will appoint you as the official head coach of the team. Because you have signed a one-year contract with the team before, the validity of this appointment is one year ~ www. EbookFREE.me ~ We will discuss the contract renewal with you as soon as the season ends. Of course, your salary will also change from assistant coach to head coach. "
Van Gundy's resignation is beyond Tang Tian's expectations. His emotions are a bit complicated. Although Fan Gandi is stubborn, Van Gundy recruited him into the coaching staff.
However, he did not think too much about the emotion. After all, the NBA is fiercely competitive, and as a passer, he cannot stop at an assistant coach.
Although it was unexpected, it was just that the development came earlier than expected.
He took a look at the new contract, and his salary rose from 300,000 to 2 million for the first assistant coach, which directly jumped to a degree. This is why the assistant coaches of each team have sharpened their heads and become head coaches. Still different.
At the back of the contract, I also wrote some reward terms, such as entering the playoffs, breaking through the first round ... winning the championship, etc. In short, it is linked to money. The further the team leads, the more money.
Put down the contract, Tang Tian then picked up a pen and signed the contract.
This is actually no hesitation.
Seeing Tang Tian sign, Dawson's face was full of smiles, then he got up and stretched out his hand: "Tang, congratulations, this is a difficult challenge, but I look forward to the day when you lead the team to win the championship . "
"There will be another day." Tang Tian shook hands with Dawson.
火箭 The day after the meeting with Dawson, the Rockets formally issued an official announcement before the Rockets met the Western Conference Mavericks.
Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy resigned as head coach due to personal affairs. The team's first assistant coach, Tang Tian, will become the team's new head coach and will continue to coach until the end of the season.
