"beep!"

The game whistle sounds.

Dayao won the jump ball after competing with Warriors starting center Eric Dampier.

After Francis held the ball, he came to the frontcourt and faced Gilbert Arenas, who was only a second-year pick. Without any hesitation, he started to rush directly.

He rushed to the basket and scored a layup under Dayao's screen.

The Rockets took the lead and scored two points.

Han Ning was sitting in the audience and felt a little relieved when he saw the scene in front of him.

The Warriors are not strong and have the big colander of Gilbert Arenas, so they shouldn't cause much resistance to the Rockets.

As long as the players perform normally, it shouldn't be too difficult to win this game.

Even if it's back-to-back games, less than one-fifth of the way into the season, there won't be any big problems with the players' physical fitness.

However, what happened next was beyond Han Ning's expectation.

In this game, Dayao seemed to be in no condition at all.

His eyes would glance towards the bench from time to time.

Yao, who was supposed to have the upper hand in the paint, was restrained by Warriors starting center Eric Dampier.

In the entire game, Dayao only scored 5 points.

Compared with his previous scoring efficiency, this is very poor.

The most important thing is that Dayao's rebound protection in this game was also very poor, and he always seemed to be half a beat slow when getting stuck.

Han Ning was sitting in the audience, with a particularly heavy expression on his face.

He had previously speculated that if he was not coaching from the sidelines, the Rockets players might be affected.

But he didn't expect that Dayao would be so affected!

It's almost the same as Dayao's performance before he came to the Rockets.

Because of Dayao's poor condition, the Rockets were very weak on the court.

Although Francis can have the upper hand against Arenas.

But without the support of rebounds, the Rockets lacked many second offense opportunities.

This resulted in the Rockets still lagging behind the Warriors in scoring.

The most troublesome thing is when the substitute players come on.

The Rockets' bench collectively lost touch today.

Whether it's Ginobili or Dazhi, the feel is extremely different.

The bench should have been able to fulfill the responsibility of chasing points, but instead, the Warriors' bench made the point difference wider and wider.

Han Ning looked at the score on the field and his expression became increasingly grim.

In the commentary box, Barkley's face was even uglier than Han Ning's.

Smith on the side couldn't help but mocked: "Barkley, did you see that?! You are going to lose again!"

Barkley was very unconvinced and said: "If it weren't for the suspension, the Rockets would not have lost! This is a crime not committed in battle!"

However, Smith didn't care about this at all. He just said with a bad smile: "I don't care, if you lose, you lose! Just wait to accept the punishment!"

Barkley gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and felt very unhappy. He said in a deep voice, "Just wait! The Rockets will win!"

Smith couldn't deny what Barkley said. He chuckled and said nothing more.

Now the score on the court has become 49 to 37. Before the first half is over, the Rockets are already 12 points behind.

If this had waited until the first half of the game was over, the Rockets would probably have surrendered.

Sure enough, by the time of halftime, the point difference between the Rockets and the Warriors became even wider.

The score between the two sides came to 57 to 42.

A full 15-point difference!

In this era when both sides can only score 70 or 80 points in a game, it can definitely be said to be very insurmountable.

Don't look at the Rockets' scoring in recent games.

But that's because the Rockets now have many scoring points, high offensive efficiency, and good rebound protection.

In this game, there was no scoring efficiency, poor rebound protection, and the players had no feel.

Being able to score 42 points at halftime is really all thanks to Francis.

After half the game, Francis was too tired to say a word.

Han Ning was sitting in the audience and looked at the two NBA staff members next to him, feeling particularly unhappy.

He now wished he could go to the locker room and scold him.

Let the Rockets players wake up.

How can you have the nerve to say you want to compete for the championship this season when you're beating a Warriors team like this?!

It's just that he is currently suspended.

According to the rules, you are not allowed to enter the locker room.

The two staff members next to him came specifically to look at him.

Han Ning closed his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly stood up.

The two staff members standing next to them quickly stood up and asked softly: "Mr. Han, where are you going?!"

Han Ning smiled slightly and said softly: "I want to go to the bathroom."

After hearing what Han Ning said, a staff member smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

In the past, many suspended head coaches said they needed to go to the bathroom during halftime, but ended up going to the locker room to arrange tactics.

No matter what kind of sport you are in, there is a precedent for this.

So now when a head coach is suspended, there will be dedicated staff responsible for keeping an eye on him.

Han Ning and the staff member went to the bathroom, entered the cubicle, locked the door, picked up their cell phones, and called Steve Kerr directly.

Anyway, his purpose is not to make any tactical arrangements, he just wants to scold these players who are out of shape.

In this case, it doesn't matter whether we meet or not.

The same goes for cursing on the phone.

Steve Kerr was in the locker room and tried vibrating his phone. When he took it out, he was a little surprised to find that it was a call from Han Ning.

Then he asked his teammates to keep quiet and answered Han Ning's call.

"Cole, open up, I want to say a few words." Han Ning said in a deep voice.

Steve Kerr immediately opened the speakerphone and placed his phone in the middle of the locker room.

When the Rockets players learned that this was a call from Han Ning, their expressions were a little ugly.

They knew that they played very poorly in this game.

There is no need to say more about the reason why Han Ning called at this time.

"Look at yourselves in the mirror! Are you trash?! Ah?!" Han Ning's first sentence was an unceremonious scolding.

The Rockets players couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's wrong?! If I'm not on the court, you won't be able to play ball?!"

"Are you women or immature children?!"

"My players should be warriors! Warriors who don't care about death!"

"You won't be able to play if I'm not around?! What kind of shit did the first half look like?! You guys were able to let the Warriors play like this! Are you asking the Warriors to step on your heads and shit?! You guys still

Do you want some face?"

"What's wrong?! You're all mute?! Speak! Tell me, are you children who haven't grown up, or are you trash!"
