Injuries in basketball only make me stronger
Chapter 166 Refrigeration
The Rockets lead 2-1.
The shadow of two consecutive losses hangs over this team.
Through this incident, Lian Feng realized a truth.
If a team wants to win, the coach, players and management are indispensable.
Of course, if one of them is strong enough, it can also affect the other two factors.
Naturally, Lian Feng doesn't want to see the situation develop into what it is today. But it is impossible to apologize or give in to Byron Scott.
Lian Feng has his own arrogance. From the beginning, he regarded himself as a figure who will be outstanding in the entire history of basketball.
However, the current predicament must be solved. The coach has great authority and can even sit on the bench for the entire game if he wants.
What to do?
At this time, Lian Feng had not communicated with Byron Scott for two days.
Byron Scott seems to be a good old man, but he is old-fashioned and stubborn to the extreme.
At this time, various rumors were flying all over the sky, and those media people with powerful media were almost certain that there was something wrong within the Hornets. They proved this with many details.
However, no one has figured out why yet.
Every player on the Hornets is tight-lipped. They abide by their professional ethics, and reporters can't get anything from them.
However, this atmosphere still affects the mentality of teammates.
Several teammates have already looked for me in private.
In fact, not all of them can understand themselves. Even Paul expressed his hope that he would apologize to Byron Scott.
However, apologizing can no longer solve the problem.
If this is still the case in the next game, reducing his playing time and wasting the Hornets' second home court, then the next time he returns to Houston, there will be basically no suspense in this series.
At this moment, Byron Scott did another outrageous thing. During an interview, he insinuated that there were unstable factors in the team and that they were destroying the team's discipline.
Therefore, Lian Feng made a bold decision.
At the interview the day before the game, Lian Feng told the truth.
…
"Yes, there is a problem within our team."
Lian Feng calmly answered reporters' questions.
Hearing Lian Feng's positive answer, all the reporters became excited. This is definitely big news for the basketball world.
"Can you tell me more about it?" a reporter quickly asked.
Lian Feng nodded and said without hesitation: "That's right, the coach and I have differences in defensive strategies."
"In other words, you stick to your own ideas, right?"
Lian Feng shook his head: "I can't explain the specific strategy, but I firmly believe that I am right. Regarding my being reduced in playing time, I can't confirm whether there is a connection between the two. But it is indeed a pity. Basically
As you can see.”
That day, Lian Feng's answer immediately set off major news headlines.
The conflict between the star player and the coach has come to the fore. This is comparable to the feud between Kobe and O'Neal.
Like most situations where stars and coaches have conflicts, one of them will inevitably be forced to leave in this case.
There is a huge market behind Lien Feng. He is young at the end. He has participated in two All-Stars in a row. He has just won the slam dunk contest. He is undoubtedly a future star. The team's choice is obvious.
Lian Feng hopes to use this to put pressure on Byron Scott.
This is not a conspiracy, it is a naked conspiracy.
If he continues to reduce his playing time, he is going against the market, and the management will find trouble with Byron Scott.
Lian Feng would not be willing to do this if he was not forced to do so.
Sure enough, before the game started, Byron Scott met Lian Feng alone.
"You win. I will not reduce your playing time in this game." Byron Scott looked tired and disappointed.
Lian Feng said seriously: "I just want to win."
Byron Scott smiled, but only the muscles on his face moved, and his eyes did not smile.
Lian Feng sighed.
This conflict is a lose-lose situation with no winner.
Lian Feng knew that this team was completely broken up.
And Lian Feng also knows that there are actually many people among the players who support him, and they must also agree to double-team Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.
Of course, some people must be dissatisfied with themselves.
But both the former and the latter chose silence.
And the emotions behind this silence will burst out on the court.
At this point, Lian Feng himself had given up hope in this series.
However, he will not give up the game to others.
In the fourth game, Lian Feng went all out and scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.
However, they still failed to defeat the Rockets.
The score came to 3 to 1.
Paul's performance was seriously abnormal in this game. He made 3 of 14 shots and scored 8 points. On the other hand, the opposite Rockets, led by Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, continued to advance rapidly.
Lian Feng actually had the illusion that Yao Ming could not defeat him.
Is this still the Yao who was criticized in history?
Every time Yao Ming receives the ball within the free throw line, Lian Feng will feel that he has secured the ball again.
The team still didn't get double-teamed.
Instead, McGrady's offense was covered up.
In these games where the Rockets won, McGrady's main role was to feed Yao Ming the ball. It's hard to imagine that McGrady would do such a thing.
McGrady averaged 7.5 assists per game in this series, 4.5 of which were for Yao Ming.
This is what the ideal Yao Mai looks like!
To be honest, if the Rockets really have two decent role players at this stage, they may not have no hope of winning the championship!
After Game 4, the Hornets' military morale was completely shattered.
Almost everyone believes that the Rockets will sweep the Hornets with a score of 4-1.
When Yao Ming was interviewed, he once again showed his high emotional intelligence.
The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate your own performance in this series? Your opponent has absolutely no way to stop you."
Yao Ming said: "Do you want to evaluate myself? Oh, it should be pretty good. At least I haven't been beaten by Lian Feng yet, nor have I been chased by him..."
The reporters heard the joke and laughed. Then Yao Ming got serious and said seriously: "We will not take it lightly. The series is not over, and anything can happen."
The pressure, of course, is all on the Hornets' side.
The next game is still at Houston's home court, and the tickets for this game have reached a new high, because everyone believes that the Rockets will send the Hornets home, which is the last game of the series.
The reporters naturally surrounded Lian Feng again.
Lian Feng only gave a hasty answer and left.
"In the next game, I will solve it in my own way."
