Chapter 169

The Rockets led 2-1.

The shadow of a two-game losing streak hangs over this team.

Through this incident, Lian Feng realized a truth.

If a team wants to win, coaches, 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 didn't want to see the situation develop into what it is today.But it is impossible to apologize and give in to Byron Scott.

Lian Feng has his own arrogance. From the beginning, he regarded himself as an outstanding figure in the entire basketball history.

However, the current predicament must find a way to solve it.The coach has a lot of authority, and can even sit on the bench for an entire game if he wants to.

How to do it?

At this time, Lian Feng hadn't communicated with Byron Scott for two days.

Byron Scott looks like a good old man, but when he is rigid and stubborn, it is also to the extreme.

At this time, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, and those media people with great powers were almost sure that something went wrong inside the Hornets.They proved it in a lot of detail.

However, no one has yet figured out why.

Every player of the Hornets is tight-lipped, they abide by professional ethics, and the reporters have not been able to get anything from their mouths.

However, this atmosphere still affects the mentality of teammates.

Several teammates have already looked for him in private.

In fact, not all of them can understand themselves.Even Paul expressed his desire to apologize to Byron Scott.

It's just that now it's not just an apology that can 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 they return to Houston, this series will basically have no suspense.

At this moment, Byron Scott did another outrageous thing. In an interview, he insinuated that there are unstable factors in the team and are destroying the team's discipline.

Therefore, Lian Feng made a bold decision.

At the interview meeting the day before the game, Lian Feng told the truth.

……

"Yes, we have a problem within the team."

Lian Feng calmly answered the reporter's questions.

Hearing Lian Feng's positive answer, all the reporters became excited. For the basketball world, this is definitely big news.

"Can you tell me more about it?" A reporter hurriedly asked.

Lian Feng nodded and said without hesitation: "It's like this. The coach and I have disagreements on defensive strategies."

"That is to say, you stick to your own ideas, don't you?"

Lian Feng shook his head: "I can't explain the specific strategy, but I firmly believe that I am right. Regarding my reduced 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."

On the same day, Lian Feng's answer immediately ignited the headlines of all major news.

The conflict between the head star and the coach was directly brought to light.

As with most conflicts between stars and coaches, this situation will inevitably force one to leave.

There is a huge market behind Lian Feng, he is young enough, he has participated in two consecutive All-Stars, he just won the slam dunk contest championship, he is undoubtedly the future star, the team's choice is obvious.

Lianfeng hopes to put pressure on Byron Scott.

This is not a conspiracy, but a blatant conspiracy.

If you continue to reduce your playing time, you are going against the market, and the management will find Byron Scott in trouble.

If he was not forced to do so, Lian Feng would not be willing to do so.

Sure enough, before the game started, Byron Scott met Lian Feng alone.

"You won. 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 of his face moved, not his eyes.

Lian Feng sighed.

This conflict is a lose-lose situation, with no winners.

Lian Feng knew that this team had completely disbanded.

And Lian Feng also knows that there are actually many people in the players who support him, and they must also agree to double-team Yao Ming and McGrady.

Of course, some people must be dissatisfied with themselves.

But both the former and the latter chose to remain silent.

And the emotions behind this silence will explode on the court.

So far, Lian Feng himself has given up hope for this series.

However, he won't hand the game over to others.

In the fourth game, Lian Feng went all out and scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

However, still failed to beat the Rockets.

The score came to 3-1.

In this game, Paul played seriously abnormally. He made 14 of 3 shots and scored 8 points. On the other hand, the Rockets, led by Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, continued to make great strides.

Lian Feng had the illusion that Yao Ming was invincible.

Is this still the Dayao who was criticized in history?

Every time Yao Ming received the ball within the free throw line, Lian Feng felt that he had stabilized the ball again.

The team still didn't double-team.

McGrady's offense was covered up instead.

In these games that the Rockets won, McGrady's main role was to feed Yao Ming.It's hard to imagine that McGrady would do such a thing.

McGrady averaged 7.5 assists per game in this round of the series, 4.5 of which were for Yao Ming.

This is what Yao Mai looks like in his ideal!

To be honest, if the Rockets at this stage really have two decent role players, it may not be hopeless to hit the championship!
After the end of the fourth game, the Hornets' morale has been completely slackened.

Almost everyone believes that the Rockets will sweep the Hornets 4-1.

And Yao Ming once again showed his high EQ in an interview.

The reporter asked: "This round of the series, how do you evaluate your own performance? Your opponent has absolutely no way to stop you."

Yao Ming said: "Evaluate myself? Oh, it should be pretty good, at least I haven't been killed by Lian Feng, and I haven't been chased by him..."

The reporters heard the meaning of ridicule, and they all laughed.Then Yao Ming got serious and said seriously: "We will not take it lightly, the series is not over, anything can happen."

The pressure, of course, is all on the Hornets' side.

The next game is still 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. This is the last game of the series.

The reporters naturally surrounded Lian Feng again.

Lian Feng only answered a word hastily and left.

"In the next game, I will solve it in my own way."
