General Sun said “An army burning with indignation is bound to win.”

Now, Rockets is an army burning with indignation:

1) Payton said Lakers won’t be back to Houston. The statement is an infuriating contempt and angers the Rockets players.

2) Marlon’s dirty tricks have already fed our players up.

3) Game 5 is Rockets’ last try.

The crux in Game 5 is not to make our opponents indignant. We all remembered that in game 4, after Boki got up from his fall, which was caused by Marlon’s dirty trick, he retaliated right away and fouled hard on Marlon, which filled Marlon with indignation. As a result, Marlon played with a vengeance and helped his team to win. On the other hand, Marlon wore that torn jersey as a badge of encouragement to motivate his team.

Use our fire, anger, and indignation to play good strategies, play fair games, and shoot more baskets, not to play dirty tricks and illegal moves as Marlon did to us (at least not too obviously). Otherwise, we will make our opponent and the audience indignant, which is equal to motivate our opponent.

Is Marlone choleric temper? By no means! Being a 40 something man and has played NBA for twenty something years, he is an old hands. He is more a fox than a wolf. He is able to control his emotions and channels it to his advantage. Game 4 served as a good example.

For the Game 4, he, on the other hand, did succeed to irritate us. Our players were indignant but at the same time too emotional.

I think General Sun means here, if those who are bound to have bad moves when being irritated, then irritate them and let them have bad moves.

From Game 4, I saw, Marlone was irritated, but he didn't have bad moves. He played better.
