The Nuggets successfully won G1, but the subsequent games were not so smooth.

Moreover, it is a bit "out of control".

Adelman directly used Lowry to play point guard in G2, just like the second half of G1, which inhibited the Nuggets' tactics to a certain extent.

At this time, the impact of Karl's absence on the Nuggets was also reflected.

O'Connor, I don't know what to do.

He is better at cultivating players, and this kind of tactical command is not his strong point.

During the halftime break, Lin Ying and Billups discussed strategies for a while, and finally felt that Lowry should be used to double-team Yao Ming.

This is also the defensive counterattack tactic that the Nuggets have been using before. Karl is best at defensive counterattack tactics. The Nuggets can play it without any adjustments.

However, O'Connor hesitated.

He feels that everyone in the Rockets' Preston can finish, and the ball-handler can easily fall into a situation where he is mobilized on defense.

That's when Anthony stepped forward and said he was here to take over the game.

After careful consideration, O'Connor decided to let Anthony try it first.

If Anthony can't open up the situation, then consider using Lin Ying and Billups' suggestions.

This is also the difference in coaches’ styles.

Carr is crazy and radical, while O'Connor seeks stability.

After the second half of the game started, Anthony showed his outstanding form since entering the playoffs and successfully challenged Artest continuously.

This also cheered up O'Connor.

But soon, the situation began to get out of control.

On the Rockets' side, Battier began to flank Anthony.

The first time he was double-teamed, Anthony passed the ball, but Jones failed to throw the ball in.

Then Anthony's eyes lit up, and he started to fight in various ways.

After this happened, Billups couldn't hold him back.

What's even worse is that O'Connor neither dared to talk about Anthony nor replaced him.

The Nuggets finally lost G2 80-95, and the two teams tied with a big score of 1-1.

After this game, Nuggets fans miss Karl extremely.

I usually see that irritable guy yelling at the long side, and he looks like a monkey when his neck turns red.

But without Karl, the Nuggets are really much worse.

Especially Anthony, it feels like a runaway horse that no one can control.

On the plane to Houston, Billups held a player meeting on the plane.

The general content of the meeting was similar to the last one held by Carter Sr. The only difference was Billups' attitude:

"I'll control the team."

This sentence directly stunned everyone.

Lin Ying also raised eyebrows after hearing this.

Not everyone dares to say such a thing.

Because this basically takes over all the responsibilities.

Lin Ying's "How to Become a Qualified Leader" experience +1.

That's what Billups said, and that's exactly what he did.

O'Connor was directly ignored.

How to play on the court and what tactics to use are up to Billups to make his own decisions.

Even during timeouts off the court, Billups would often pick up the tactical board and do it himself.

This behavior is dangerous, but it is really effective.

The Rockets only have two point guards available, and they have distinct technical characteristics.

Brooks is strong in offense and weak in defense, while Lowry is strong in defense and weak in defense.

And the offense and defense here are both very extreme.

If you really want to target it, there are still ways to do it.

With Brooks on the court, the Nuggets play misplaced singles;

With Lowry on the court, the Nuggets flank the ball holder for defensive counterattacks;

This strategy quickly put the Rockets at a disadvantage.

When Rockets fans began to greet Mosaic's family in various ways, the Nuggets finally won the game successfully.

This is the real Billups teaching you to win championships.

Relying on this model, the Nuggets defeated the Rockets in two consecutive home games, leading by a big score of 3 to 1.

But at this time, the Houston media showed the reaction that a "qualified opponent" should have.

"The head coach of the Nuggets is Billups", "O'Connor is the Nuggets mascot"...

Reports like this quickly became a hot topic among fans.

This can be regarded as getting to the point, trying to sow discord between players and coaches.

And you can't say it's wrong, because O'Connor is really like a figurehead with the Nuggets right now.

But O'Connor is an interesting person.

He didn't dare do anything to Anthony before, and he couldn't control the team, so he simply delegated power to Billups.

Now he chooses to turn a blind eye to the media's voice. In the end, when reporters asked him questions one after another, his answer was a killer one:

"We're winning, aren't we?"

This is the lifting of the seal and direct transformation.

The Rockets fought with their backs against the odds, and the entire team was fully fired up. They relied on their offense to win back a victory in Denver 123 to 120.

But G6 returned to their home court. They were exhausted in the last game and finally lost the game 80-98.

After the final game, the Nuggets successfully defeated the Rockets 4-2, reaching the Western Conference Finals and tying history!

After the series, Lin Ying and Yao Ming had a meal outside.

Because they were rivals, many things couldn't be explained clearly, and the two of them simply didn't get together.

Now that the series is over, we can finally let go.

"If McGrady hadn't been injured..."

As soon as Yao Ming sat down, he was talking about the series.

It can be seen that he is a little unwilling to lose.

However, it is completely understandable that no one will be convinced if there is a top-paid player in the lineup who cannot be promoted.

"Dayao, let's just chat now, right?"

Lin Ying listened to what Yao Ming said, but suddenly had an idea.

"What's wrong?"

Yao Ming nodded, then looked at Lin Ying doubtfully.

"What kind of boss do you think Alexander is?"

Seeing Yao Ming nod, Lin Ying then spoke.

After hearing this, Yao Ming knew why Lin Ying asked that in the first place.

"Don't worry, what I just said was just chatting."

Lin Ying was afraid that Yao Ming was still worried, so she got up and closed the box door.

"A businessman."

Yao Ming still trusted Lin Ying, so he thought about it and gave an answer.

"A businessman."

Lin Ying repeated Yao Ming's words and then nodded.

This is very true.

"I heard Chauncey say that he was ready to go to Houston because the management of the two teams had similar talks, but in the end Alexander vetoed it."

Lin Ying continued.

"Is this happening?"
