Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 168 Refrigeration
After the game, Lian Feng can 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 really sorry, you won't play so easily in the next match.

Thinking of this, Lian Feng's mood didn't even become particularly bad because of the loss of this game, which was very different from the overall depressed atmosphere of the team.

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

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

"Tyson, you didn't defend Yao Ming well today! Listen, I don't want to blame you. What I want to say is that this should not be your performance. You have to stick close to him so as to interfere with his shooting. Among Yao Ming's shots today, 4 were from mid-range jumpers and 4 were from hooks. Do you know that you didn't stick close enough?"

Lian Feng is not well.

how?Could it be that Yao Ming played so well, all because of Tyson Chandler's failure to defend well?
It's ridiculous too.

In other words, even if this is the truth, knowing that Tyson Chandler can't guard Yao Ming, why didn't he adopt a targeted strategy?

Byron Scott noticed Lian Feng coming in and looked away.

"Oh, Lian Feng, you came just in time. We also need to analyze the strategy of defending McGrady."

"Defend McGrady?"

Lian Feng was startled.

"There were a few balls today, and you lost someone. Of course, I'm not blaming you. In order to intercept Yao Ming's ball, you lost McGrady..."

Lian Feng couldn't help but interrupted: "Coach, shouldn't we discuss how to limit the offense of Yao Ming and McGrady?"

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

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

Byron Scott smirked: "Why do you always worry about double-teaming? You have to believe in your defensive ability. Take McGrady as an example. You did a 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 use at least three to four people to defend, so one or two people will inevitably be missed. How should these two people be dealt with?"

"Isn't it okay to let them shoot?" Lian Feng was a little excited: "This kind of defensive strategy can't win the game! Absolutely can't win!"

David West climbed up Lianfeng from behind and pulled him away.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and no one else spoke. Byron Scott remained expressionless. After Lian Feng left, he said calmly, "Go on."

Lian Feng forced himself to calm down, and couldn't help but ask David West: "Do you also think my thinking 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 decisions of decision makers may be better understood with psychological theories. You made a mistake in this matter. Of course, I am not saying that your point of view is wrong, but that your method is wrong."

"What do you mean?"

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 is not ignorant of the need to double-team against Dayao.If this matter was realized by himself, then of course there is no problem.However, because I reminded him in the early stage, and I kept suggesting it, changing the strategy at this time will give people an impression: Look, Lian Feng is right. If we had listened to his advice earlier, we would not have lost this game.

In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Byron Scott refused to admit that the team lost the game because of double-teaming.

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

Thinking of this, Lian Feng couldn't help becoming angry, and couldn't help saying: "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, then sighed: "I see, thank you David."

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

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

Lian Feng couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

At this time, David West is only a young man in his twenties, but his heart is already very mature, and he understands what he wants and how to pursue it.

Reading is really a good thing.

……

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

And Byron Scott did not back down on this matter.He still let the team implement the previous one-on-one marking tactics.

And, it doesn't end there.

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

It wasn't until the third quarter that Lian Feng finally played, and then played for 10 minutes before being replaced again.

The Rockets once opened the score to 15 points!
This time, Lian Feng was not angry anymore, his heart was completely cold.

Byron Scott didn't explain either, and both of them expressed their emotions silently.

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

At this time, Byron Scott let Lianfeng re-enter 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 wondering.

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

Neither Lian Feng nor Byron Scott were available for interviews.

Paul was very tired when he was interviewed.

"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."

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

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

There is an unspoken rule within the NBA team, that is, no matter what, the contradictions within the team should not be exposed to the outside world.Paul was very strict with this rule, so he thought about it and said, "There is no such thing."

"Then why did Lian Feng only play for [-] minutes today?" The reporter was still reluctant.

Paul said wearily, "Another question. I don't know how to answer this one."
