After the second quarter, I returned to the visiting team's locker room, which was terrible quiet.

Mark's eyes were red and he walked into the locker room angrily.

"Look at what you guys are fighting today? They're fighting like shit." Mark asked everyone loudly.

"Are you all sleepwalking? I said at the beginning, let you lock Yao Ming, Milicic, you are blocked by Yao Ming every time, and he snatched several offensive rebounds. You have to keep him behind you, understand

It's all." Mark turned to look at Milicic.

Milicic listened to Mark's roar, without any response, lay down on his own, covering his face with a towel.

Seeing that Milicic didn't say a word, Mark turned to Gasol again.

"Paul, where is your auxiliary defense? Every time Hayeska is behind you, you are so much higher than him. If you have your strength, you must be tougher."

The entire locker room was filled with Mark's voice.

"Coach, please call me Gasol." Gasol said word by word, still extremely angry.

In one sentence, Mark shouted, "Do you don't want to play anymore? If you don't want to play, I will meet your requirements."

Gasol ignored Mark and also imitated Milicic, covered his face with a towel, and lay down to rest.

Mark was furious. Fortunately, the assistant coach held Mark at this time, otherwise he would not know what would happen.

He pointed his finger at Li Tian, ​​who was watching McGrady's game video.

"Li, what's wrong with you today? The three-point shooting percentage is so low, McGrady connected the entire mosaic team, how did you defend, this is what I handed over the heavy responsibility to you, is this the answer you gave me?

"Mark also blamed Li Tian for Guy's defense against McGrady on the court.

It can be said that Li Tian did the best in the whole first half. During the period of defense against McGrady, McGrady's shooting percentage was limited to below 25%, opening up space on the court, helping his teammates pick-and-roll, and creating many offensive opportunities.

.

"Coach, is there any problem with my defense? You go and see my defense McGrady's shooting percentage, and then look at how many pick-and-rolls the team has done in the offense. You go and find a three-point shooting percentage in every game than me

The high player comes out.”

Li Tian was not used to Mark, and had long been dissatisfied with Mark. Most of the time, he attributed Guy's fault to Li Tian.

At first I was unwilling to cause trouble, but I didn't accept it.

"Lee, is this your attitude towards the head coach?" Mark threw the tactical board to the ground with great force.

Li Tian ignored Mark and also followed Gasol and lay down to rest.

He didn't play much time in the first half, but he had to prevent him from attacking, but also cut off the connection between him and his teammates. He had to run without the ball on the offensive end, and also had to pick-and-roll for his teammates.

It took a short time, but he did a lot of work, and Li Tian was also very tired.

In the entire locker room, Guy and Conley did not cover their faces with towels.

Conley was still having a playful smile, while Guy looked indifferent.

"You don't take me as the head coach seriously. Li Tian, ​​you will stay off the court and reflect on it." The angry Mark still retained a little bit of rationality.

Reason told him that he could let Li Tian bench, but he could not both Milicic and Gasol bench.

If this happens, it is estimated that Mark will be driven out of Memphis by angry fans.

Want to say something, Gasol touched Li Tian.

In the player channel, Li Tian quickly followed Gasol.

"Paul, why are you stopping me? I'm really fed up with Mark." Li Tian was also suppressing himself. He also wanted to go through this quarrel, and then hoped that the team could trade him out and stay in the Grizzlies Li Tian to watch

Without any hope, maybe you will be better off by trading yourself.

He believes that Bill still has the ability to trade himself to other teams through operations, and at least have a stable playing time. He is still a high-quality asset now. If the Grizzlies' record continues to decline, other teams will also win Lee.

The value of the transaction in the sky has been reduced, and it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to give it away.

"Lee, I know you want to argue with Mark and then through this, I hope the team will trade you, but it's hard to achieve."

Li Tian was puzzled. He had seen such transactions happening a lot in his previous life, so why can’t he do it?

"You are just a role player. In order to maintain the majesty of the head coach, the team will likely refrigerate you. How much salary you only have in a year, the team can afford to lose; unless the team fires Mark for you, now,

Obviously it is unrealistic.”

Li Tian loves basketball, but he doesn't understand the internal operations, transactions, etc. of the team.

"Okay, thank you Paul." Li Tian figured it out and his brows slowly unfolded.

"Sorry, Li, it's because I was not able to connect with the team. I was intercepted by McGrady several times, which made you implicated." Lowry apologized to Li Tian.

"It's okay, Lowry, even if you don't have your pass mistake, I think the final outcome will definitely be the same. Look at the three people Mark said, he is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, so he can only do this."

"That's true, that's not my problem. I originally planned to give you a gift to apologize, but it seems that it's left." Lowry patted the place where he put his wallet.

"Lorry, you can't save gifts, otherwise I will call you to get up early to train with me, you can do it yourself." Li Tian would not plan to let Lowry go, so you can't lose gifts.

"Uh, okay, it seems that your wallet will still be empty this time." Lowry's eyes were dull, as if he had lost everything.

"Okay, Lowry, as long as you have a gift, let Memphis go to hell at 3 a.m.." Li Tian comforted Lowry, who was about to lose his wallet.

Lowry patted his chest, looking like he was escaping from death.

Although the communication between the two was funny, the Grizzlies players did not change their expressions.

Only Mark was even more angry when he saw Li Tian and Lowry talking and laughing.

"You must let Li Tian stay on the court for a few more games to see if you still listen." This is what Mark thought in his heart. He is a rookie coach, and only Li Tian is the most suitable for him to establish his authority.

If Li Tian knew what Mark was thinking, he would immediately cover Lowry's mouth and prevent him from making a sound.

At the beginning of the game, Li Tian and Conley sat on the bench and said something.

In the game on the court, a one-sided phenomenon occurred. Under Guy's defense, McGrady's also regained her feel and performed continuous dunk scenes.

Director Zhang, who was sitting in the studio, couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"What's wrong with the head coach of the Grizzlies? Can't you see that Guy has been beaten by McGrady on the court? At this time, Li Tian should be replaced to defend McGrady, otherwise the Grizzlies will only take away from Houston to lose.

"Zhang Weiping kept complaining about Mark.

"McDie played Guy again, and he was almost successful when he got off the ground. Guy ran to the center line. I really can't watch this game." Yu Jia began to complain about the game.

"Maybe something happened in the locker room, hey." Zhang Weiping sighed, feeling endless grievances.

"Look at it, I'll just say that McGrady is the strongest."

"McDie is strong, but under Li Tian's defense, the shooting percentage is also very low. But this Guy is so powerless to complain about him."

"Why can't I pay it back? Is the head coach of the Grizzlies getting into his mind?"

"That's right, that's it, it's all like this, and Li Tian won't be allowed to play."

While speaking, the score had reached 55-75, and the mosaic team led the Grizzlies by 20 points.

"You see, just say that Li Tian is not good, the head coach doesn't let him play, Durant is still strong."

"Upstairs, you are an undercover agent sent by Monkey. Li Tian is not good. Go and see what Durant is like, steal, buckle, block, and block, which data is not available."

The discussion is still going on.

Mark glanced at Li Tian and Conley on the sidelines.

"It's so helpless. How can we win?" Mark didn't even control the team, let alone win.

The game on the field continues.

In the fourth quarter, Mosaic simply put Yao Ming and McGrady off the court and did not arrange to play.

Mark watched the Grizzlies' defeat and replaced the main players.

The Grizzlies lost 21 points away from the Mosaics 89-110.

"Head coach, what do you think of the big defeat in this game?" A TNT reporter asked Mark.

"Hello, this reporter, the team's record will always fluctuate. We can win back in the next game." Mark replied shirking responsibility.

"So, why didn't you arrange for Lee to play to defend McGrady in the second half? Didn't you see that Guy has been beaten up by McGrady?" The reporter's words were sharp.

"Every star needs to be cultivated slowly. No one can do everything as soon as he comes up. Michael Jordan won the championship in the first year." This is Mark.

"Do you think Guy has the potential to be a player like Jordan?" This is a big deal.

"No, no, isn't it what every player dreams of being a player like Jordan? Guy has been working hard in that direction." Mark quickly explained.

"Gasol, do you agree with Mark's statement?" The reporter handed Gasol the microphone.

"He is the head coach, and I don't have the ability to predict the future." Gasol did not answer positively, nor did he agree or deny it.

"Do you think Li didn't make a show in the second half for a minute? Does this fit the common sense?" The reporter knew that Li Tian and Gasol had a good relationship. Several times had appeared in the restaurant together and were photographed.

"I think you need to verify this from the head coach. I am just a player, but I don't have the talent to become a head coach." Gasol returned the question to the head coach.

The post-match interview was overhauled, and Li Tian had not had time to say hello to Yao Ming.

Mark arranged for the players to fly to New Orleans early and continued to challenge the Hornets led by Paul on the road.
