Start without the ball

Chapter 283

On May 5, there was heavy rain in Oklahoma City amidst lightning and thunder.

The Thunder players returned to Oklahoma City this morning, and veteran Felton proposed to hold an internal meeting of players.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Haoyu drove to the training hall. The bad weather made people feel unhappy.

After arriving at the training hall, Li Haoyu saw the cars of several teammates parked in the parking spaces. This kind of thing is not seen in normal training. It seems that everyone is aware that the team needs to make adjustments when encountering problems.

Came to the combat conference room on the second floor, entered the room, Felton, Grant, George and others had arrived, most of them were lowering their heads and fiddling with their mobile phones, Felton tapped his fingertips on the table, waiting for others 's arrival

As a veteran who has played in the league for nearly 15 years, Felton has been in too many teams, including the Bobcats, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, and even a team with an extremely chaotic locker room like the Knicks.

He is old, and Felton, who has experienced strong winds and waves, does not want to be a passer-by in this league. He wants to write his own stroke in the history of the league championship at the end of his career.

The Thunder team made him feel the warmth of home. Even if he has very little playing time, he will do his job with peace of mind. He will use his experience to help young players who have just arrived, and he will stand up when the team has problems. Speaking up, up to the Thunder's core trident, down to the young player Diallo, everyone in the team respects him.

Now, the team encountered a strong block from the defending champion, this meeting is imperative, and he also has the prestige to preside over the meeting.

Ten minutes later, everyone had arrived. Felton cleared his throat, stood up and said:
"In G2 we had a chance to win, but in the last 3 seconds, the victory we held in our hands slipped through our fingers, this is unacceptable!

We exposed too many problems in the last game. I think you are also aware of the awakening of the Warriors. This is the most tenacious and powerful opponent we have encountered since the playoffs.

In order to be able to tide over the difficulties, everyone should talk about their own opinions. If anyone thinks that someone has done something wrong, speak up directly. Don’t be afraid to speak out because of feelings. What we are meeting now is a guy who has won three championships in four years. Super team!You have all experienced their offense and defense in the last game, now we have to solve the problem!
Let me take the lead, Schroeder, you are too sticky to the ball. Several times, Lee has already reached the frontcourt, and you have to dribble across the center line before passing the ball, which delays the attack time. "

Schroeder nodded and said, "I'll pay attention next time, Li, if you come to the front court early, if you want the ball, you can signal to remind me.

I want to say, Noelle, you are running too slow. After the baseline shot, everyone has to wait for you. "

Noelle was rather simple and honest, and said, "I'm sorry, I will try to run faster next time."

Afterwards, the locker room fell into a moment of silence. Felton asked: "What about the others? Point out any problems, don't get in the way, and be direct. Now we need to solve the problem and win!"

George stood up, looked at Ferguson and said: "In the first game, when Lee is off the court and you replace him, can you not stand on the side with me, when I hold the ball, you go away, I need space! Space you Understand!"

Ferguson got angry and was a little dissatisfied: "If you can't move Iguodala, don't blame me, can you? I just didn't move at the bottom corner!"

George looked angry, pointed at Ferguson and said:
"You tell me again, it's because you don't give me space that my singles will be affected!"

Seeing that George was in a hurry, Felton said loudly: "George! We are here to solve the problem, not to quarrel. Watch your way!"

George snorted coldly and sat down.

Felton: "Ferguson, you did have a few offenses that affected George. When he holds the ball at 45 degrees, you'd better run to the weak side. It's useless for you to wait for the ball on the strong side."

Ferguson: "But he put all the responsibility on me!"

Felton sternly yelled at Ferguson: "Don't make excuses, I'll just ask you, will you change it for the next game, or not? We need to solve the problem!"

Ferguson: "I see, I will pay attention to this."

"And you George, let you solve the problem, not let you shirk responsibility, even if Ferguson didn't affect your space, you didn't take advantage of Iguodala, as a veteran, what I want to tell you is, If there is an obstacle, you step over it,
Analyze the game video you played against, and watch it repeatedly, ten times will not work, hundreds of times, if this is not enough, you can go to Bayer to ask for all the game video of the Warriors since the playoffs, to study your opponent, and find out his defensive habits ! "

George was silent, and after a few seconds, he nodded in response to Felton.

"Who else has a problem, point it out, if we don't solve the problem today, all of us don't go back."

Li Haoyu: "I have something to say."

Everyone looked at Li Haoyu who played the best since the playoffs.

"Russell, I need an explanation for the last attack of the Warriors in the last game. The whole team's efforts all night were ruined by you."

Westbrook knew that his negligence led to the loss of the whole game. From last night to now, he has been blaming himself, but he never thought that Li Haoyu would tell this matter in front of the whole team, which made him feel The status of the team has been challenged.

Westbrook remained silent, looking at Li Haoyu fiercely.

Li Haoyu didn't evade either, and glared at him. For a moment, swords were tense in the meeting room.

It was not easy for Felton to intervene at this time. Originally, he wanted to raise this matter tactfully, but he didn't expect Li Haoyu, a newcomer, to have no scruples about Westbrook's face.

"Your talent is the envy of all of us. You have the ability to freeze any guard with the ball. However, you are now obsessed with statistics and showing your dominance on the court. Adams accommodates you and gives you rebounds , The coach accommodates you and never accuses you of your hot-headed actions. Almost the whole team accommodates you.

I still remember that before the first game against the Trail Blazers, you underestimated the opponent. You said that this round let me brush up the statistics. I wanted a triple-double in the playoffs, but we almost lost the first game.

And last time you ruined our hard work all night.

Wake up, we need you, we need you who are fighting to win. "

Felton: "Lee, that's enough, stop talking."

"No, let me finish, winning is more than everything, if you don't wake up, we will still lose."

Westbrook gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. He couldn't stand a fledgling first-year rookie saying this. He stood up, walked slowly towards Li Haoyu, and raised his right fist.

"Don't forget your brother's championship dream!"

Westbrook was trembling all over: "If you have the guts, say it again!"

Li Haoyu stood up, put Westbrook on his head, and said word by word: "You! Russell Westbrook, I'm sorry KB3!"
