Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

After the game, Lian Feng could be said to be full of confidence.

As long as Byron Scott is a normal coach, he should know how to deal with it now.

Dayao, I'm so sorry. You won't be able to play so easily in the next game.

Thinking like this, Lian Feng's mood did not even get particularly bad because of the loss in this game, which was very different from the team's overall depressed atmosphere.

Lian Feng was the last one to enter the team's locker room. After dealing with several reporters, he couldn't wait to return to the locker room and wanted to discuss with the team how to play the next game.

However, as soon as he walked in and heard Byron Scott's voice, Lian Feng was stunned.

"Tyson, you didn't do a good job defending Yao Ming today! Listen, I'm not blaming you. What I want to say is, this shouldn't be your performance. You have to stay close to him so that you can interfere with him.

Of Yao Ming's shots today, 4 were mid-range jumpers and 4 were hooks. Did you know that you weren't close enough?"

Lian Feng's whole body was in bad shape.

What? Could it be that Yao Ming played so well because Tyson Chandler didn't defend well?

This is too ridiculous.

In other words, even if this is true, but knowing that Tyson Chandler can't guard Yao Ming, why not adopt a targeted strategy?

Byron Scott noticed Lian Feng coming in and turned his attention.

"Oh, Lian Feng, you came at the right time. We also need to analyze the strategy of defending Tracy McGrady."

"Defend McGrady?"

Lian Feng was startled.

"You missed a few goals today. Of course, I'm not blaming you. In order to intercept Yao Ming's ball, you missed Tracy McGrady..."

Lian Feng couldn't help but interrupt: "Coach, shouldn't we discuss how to limit Yao Ming and McGrady's offense now?"

Byron Scott got serious and said, "We're doing it."

"Shouldn't the focus be on double-teaming?"

Byron Scott gave a fake smile: "Why do you always have to worry about double-teaming? You have to believe in your defensive ability. Take Tracy McGrady as an example, you did a very good job defending him in the last game."

"But……"

Byron Scott's smile disappeared and he said seriously: "Don't say such things. You have to understand that if double-teaming is implemented, McGrady and Yao Ming will have to use at least three to four people to defend, and one of them will definitely miss.

Two people, how should we deal with these two people?"

"Can't we just let them shoot?" Lian Feng was a little excited: "You can't win the game with this kind of defensive strategy! You definitely can't win!"

David West climbed up to Lian Feng from behind and pulled him away.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. No one else spoke. Byron Scott was expressionless. After Lian Feng left, he calmly said: "Continue."

Lian Feng forced himself to calm down and couldn't help but ask David West: "Do you also think my idea is wrong?"

David West did not answer directly, but shook his head and said: "Man, I have read a lot of books on psychology. Sometimes some of the decision-makers' decisions may be better understood if they are explained using psychological theories.

You made a mistake in this matter. Of course, I am not saying that your point of view is wrong, but that there is something wrong with your method."

"What's the meaning?"

David West shook his head: "Didn't I tell you last time... The problem with this matter is authority."

Lian Feng is very smart. He immediately understood what David West said.

Perhaps Byron Scott didn't know that double-teaming was necessary to deal with Dayao. If he realized this by himself, of course there would be no problem. However, because he reminded him in the early stage and kept suggesting

However, changing the strategy at this time will give people the impression: Look, Lian Feng is right. If we had listened to his advice earlier, we would not have lost this game.

In order to prevent this from happening, Byron Scott refused to admit that the team lost the game because of double teams.

This may be intentional, or it may be Byron Scott's subconscious self-protection.

Thinking of this, Lian Feng couldn't help but get angry and couldn't help but say: "Is personal authority more important than the team's victory?"

David West patted Lian Feng on the shoulder and said nothing.

Lian Feng was silent for a while and sighed: "I understand, thank you David."

"Don't say that, we are teammates..."

David West smiled, paused again, and then said: "I also want the championship. And... I believe that you will lead us to the championship. I know this very well, and I will

I’ll help you.”

Lian Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

At this time, David West was just a young man in his twenties, but his heart was already very mature and he understood what he wanted and how to pursue it.

Reading is really a good thing.

…

The relationship between Lian Feng and Byron Scott was completely strained.

Byron Scott did not give in on this matter. He still let the team implement the previous one-on-one marking tactics.

And, it doesn't end there.

In the following third game at home, something even more unacceptable happened to Lian Feng. He only played in the first quarter and was benched at the beginning of the second quarter.

It wasn't until the third quarter that Lien Feng finally came on the court, and then he played for ten minutes before being replaced again.

The Rockets once stretched the score to 15 points!

This time, Lian Feng was not angry anymore, his heart was completely cold.

Byron Scott did not explain either, and both of them expressed their emotions silently.

With 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the game had lost its suspense. The Rockets led the Hornets 104 to 90.

At this time, Byron Scott allowed Lien Feng to return to the field.

But despite this, Lian Feng still tried his best on the court.

In just over 20 minutes of playing time, Lian Feng still contributed 26 points.

After this game, reporters surrounded the Hornets.

Many people are confused.

In the crucial third game, why did Lian Feng only play 20 minutes?

Neither Lien nor Byron Scott were interviewed.

Paul looked very tired during the interview.

"Can you talk about why you lost today's game?"

Paul was silent for a while, "As you know, we haven't found a way out of this predicament yet."

"We heard rumors that Lian Feng and the coach seemed to have a dispute, so he was restricted from playing time by the coach in today's game. Is this true?"

Paul laughed dryly. At this time, he was still very young after all, and he really didn't know how to respond to such a question.

There is an unspoken rule within an NBA team, that is, no matter what, the internal conflicts within the team should not be exposed to the outside world. Paul strictly abides by this rule, so he thought about it and said: "There is no such thing."

"Then why did Lian Feng only play for twenty minutes today?" The reporter still refused.

Paul said tiredly: "Let's change the question. I don't know how to answer this question either."
