Chapter 568 "Cancer" in the dressing room

The previous line-stepping three-pointer was probably also Mu Chenfeng's design.

Big Thompson saw his younger brother's serious face, so he stepped forward to inquire. Little Thompson didn't tell him the truth, but just stared blankly at Mu Chenfeng's back.

The more I think about this kind of thing, the more terrifying it becomes. How powerful a person must be to reproduce the opponent's attack perfectly.

Little Thompson's heart gradually panicked. He had never experienced such a weird game. When he watched Mu Chenfeng's offense, he was completely watching his own offensive replay, and in many details, Mu Chenfeng was more meticulous than himself.

Jr. Thompson has made 4 of 4 shots so far, with a 100% shooting rate, but he is really flustered, because Mu Chenfeng is completely copying his own tactics, and the two teams can't defend each other.

In this way, on the contrary, the Bucks slowly fell into a passive state, which made Thompson Jr.'s every offensive choice to be more cautious, otherwise it is very likely to cause trouble for his team.

"It seems that Mu Chenfeng's tactics have worked." The Bucks' offensive rhythm has obviously slowed down, and their offense is not as decisive as before.

The offense became procrastinated, which made the players very dissatisfied. They questioned Thompson Jr.'s control of the rhythm. The players believed that now that the score is leading, they should pursue the victory and not give the Heat a chance to breathe. Instead, Jr. Thompson's slowing down of the rhythm is creating a chance for the Heat to turn around.

Now that the Bucks are leading by 6 points, the situation can be said to be very good. If they continue to play according to the previous rhythm, they are likely to complete the first quarter with a leading attitude.

If the lead can be established in the first quarter, it will greatly boost the morale of the team.

However, the great situation of the Bucks is gradually being eroded because of Thompson Jr.'s unauthorized lowering of the rhythm.

Big Thompson still believed in his younger brother. He knew that Little Thompson was definitely not someone who would mess around, and he must have his reasons for doing so.

"Believe me, if you want to win, you must play according to my rhythm." Thompson Jr. continued to appease the restlessness of his teammates. He hoped to use the results to prove that his choice was correct.

However, other players may not think so.

"You two really think of yourself as the boss!" The bad-tempered player said something ugly, and the atmosphere in the Bucks team instantly dropped to freezing point.

Some old players in the team have long been displeased with the Thompson brothers doing whatever they want in the team. "Without our help, you can achieve what you are now?" The Thompson brothers were instantly isolated.

"Okay, we're still playing." The head coach of the Bucks walked over to persuade him calmly. Judging from his unhurried attitude, he seemed to be used to this discordant situation.

The locker room has always been an important criterion for the ceiling height of a team. If there is a problem with the locker room of a team and the off-court relationship between the players is not good, it will be difficult for the team to go very far.

During the game, it is quite normal for players to have some disagreements between offense and defense. If it is resolved properly, the locker room can continue to be stable, but if it is not handled properly, it will be a cancer.

The atmosphere in the locker room has always been a problem that has plagued the Bucks. Coach Edward is not a person who is good at solving locker room problems. He is a pure tactical madman. The problems in the locker room have always been solved by the players themselves.

Facts have proved that his approach was a huge mistake.

There is no big brother who can live in the locker room. Even the Thompson brothers are the same. Regardless of their qualifications or absolute strength, they are not enough to be the boss. Therefore, the Bucks' locker room has always been in a relatively chaotic state.

This is also an important reason why the Bucks' record fluctuates.

"Don't be seen as a joke." Edward said, making everyone quiet.

Although Edward does not participate in the management of the locker room, as the head coach, he has the "power of life and death" of the players, so no one dares to disobey his orders.

Edward has an outstanding talent in basketball. As for the locker room, he can completely control it, but he thinks it is too troublesome to manage the locker room, so he doesn't try to manage it.

The scene has stopped, but the players are still very unconvinced with each other. This kind of conflict has been going on for a long time.

The Thompson brothers rely on the support of the team management behind them, and their attitude towards the game has always been questionable. They even temporarily change their tactics during the game according to their emotions, while others can only cooperate.

This "dictatorship"-like approach made many players in the team dissatisfied, and the emotions of the players kept accumulating, and finally broke out.

"Substitution!" Edward looked at each other's eyes still wrong, and immediately applied for a substitution adjustment, replacing the Thompson brothers.

"Why?" Little Thompson said angrily, obviously he was the one who played the best, but he was replaced at this time, and the feeling may not be there later.

Edward glared at Little Thompson with sharp eyes, "All of this is because of you, so you should rest first and reflect."

In this way, Thompson Jr. was pushed to the bench.

Only Big Thompson was left playing with 4 role players. How could he be the opponent of the Heat? The score was soon tied and then overtook.

Although Thompson has tried his best to create a certain storm in the interior, it is still difficult for him to do anything under the defense of Gaia and Claude.

After the first quarter, the leading side has already become the Heat.

At 22:32, the Heat led by a full 10 points.

"Damn it!" Jr. Thompson watched helplessly as the Heat caught up with the score step by step, and then overtook him. His hands kept grabbing his shorts. No one could understand how much he wanted to play.

"Have you calmed down yet?" Edward asked.

Little Thompson nodded, and took off the towel on his head, "I have calmed down a long time ago."

Edward looked at him with strange eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Big Thompson's ability to lead the team alone was limited, as long as Jr. Thompson was brought back on the field in the second quarter.

"The cancer is back?" The teammate's words were harsh.

Little Thompson sneered, "You guys are quite capable."

Obviously, Thompson Jr. was mocking his teammates. From leading to falling behind, they completely squandered Thompson Jr.'s efforts.

"Whoever wants to win, come with me." Thompson Jr. said to his teammates.

When Thompson Jr. returned to the court, the court had already changed another look.

Mu Chenfeng has already approached himself in scoring, scoring the Heat's highest score of 9 points.
