On the court, Green basically didn't pass the ball to Wang Feng.
As a point forward, Green controls the ball half the time when he is on the court, and the remaining half of the ball is in Curry's hands.
As the team's main attacker, most of Curry's ball rights are converted into his own shots, and only a small part is used to create opportunities for teammates to pass the ball.
However, Green's possession of the ball is limited by his own lack of offensive ability and is basically passed to his teammates.
Curry, Thompson, and Wang Feng were all the targets of his passing assists.
But now, the conflict between the two directly caused Green to cross out Wang Feng and not pass the ball to him at all.
This directly led to Wang Feng's number of shots dropped sharply in the past three games. He only took about 10 shots in each game, and his personal data dropped sharply.
Faced with this situation, Wang Feng remained unmoved and had no intention of giving in.
You are such a noob, never pass the ball to me if you can.
This Warriors team is indeed strong enough. Even with Wang Feng's scoring discount, it can still win, but the rhythm on the court is obviously much worse than before.
Head coach Cole couldn't sit still.
During the regular season, this is not a big problem, but if the conflict continues into the playoffs, it is likely to have serious consequences.
To this end, he specifically talked to Wang Feng.
"Wang, is there any conflict between you and Drummond?"
In the head coach's office, Wang Feng, holding a cup of coffee, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.
"Coach, you should ask him this question."
Wang Feng thought to himself that it has been a few games. Haven't you figured out what the contradiction is? But he still said calmly: "You should have seen it. He deliberately didn't pass the ball to me on the court. I didn't have anything."
Yes. It is probably because he was not selected as an All-Star substitute and his mentality was a bit broken, so he did these messy things."
"Because of the All-Stars?"
Cole's eyes flickered.
As the team's head coach, of course he could see that it was Green who was taking the initiative and deliberately not passing the ball to Wang Feng.
Before looking for Wang Feng, he had already talked to Green.
But Green said it was not that he was targeting Wang Feng, but that Wang Feng's attitude on the court was not correct and his movement was not active enough, so he did not take the initiative to pass the ball to him.
This is a bit ridiculous. Wang Feng has been open many times on the court, but Green is always half a beat too slow to pass the ball to him. As a result, many open shooting opportunities are missed. Anyone who is not blind can see that Green did this on purpose.
.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Cole felt a little headache.
Obviously the team is constantly winning, why does this situation still happen?
There is no doubt that this matter is Green's fault, but the question is how he should deal with it.
Green plays a very important role in the current Warriors' tactical system. On the offensive end, he is required to hold the ball and coordinate the team's offense. On the defensive end, Green is the only player who can protect the frame in the small ball tactics.
He is irreplaceable, at least for the current Warriors!
What's more, Green has just signed a five-year long-term contract with the Warriors. He is the team's key training target in the future, and his status is stable.
Cole thought for a moment and said to Wang Feng.
"I don't think Drummond is deliberately looking for trouble because of this kind of thing. There must be some misunderstanding. I will talk to him again." After saying that, Cole solemnly said to Wang Feng: "Wang, Ball
The team is likely to break many records this season. If we can defend the championship, it will be good for all of us! Therefore, I hope that the players on the team can get along harmoniously and try not to cause conflicts..."
…
Wang Feng walked out of Cole's office with no expression on his face.
Cole's words showed that although he clearly stated that he was fair and impartial, he did not favor anyone and tried hard to eliminate misunderstandings.
But in fact he has sided with Draymond Green.
It was Green who took the initiative and refused to pass the ball to him on the court, but Cole considered the stability of the team and chose to settle the matter.
As a head coach, there is nothing wrong with this choice. After all, one of the coach's responsibilities is to mediate conflicts between players.
But it is obvious that Wang Feng is not as important as Green in Cole's mind.
If the current situation is that there is a conflict between Curry and Green, I am afraid that Cole will not hesitate to choose to side with Curry, and even the entire Warriors management will make the same choice. After all, although Green's tactical status is very high,
But Curry is the real and absolute core of the Warriors!
As for Wang Feng, although he has made great contributions to the Warriors on both offense and defense, he is just the icing on the cake for the existing tactical system.
What's more, Wang Feng has not renewed his contract with the Warriors so far. Although Wang Feng's agent Bill Duffy has made it clear that the reason for not renewing the contract in advance is that he wants to sign a new contract during the summer offseason.
Big contracts.
But in the summer, with all the major teams competing for him, it’s still unclear whether the Warriors can retain Wang Feng.
"It seems it's time to think about next season..."
Wang Feng doesn't blame Cole. In the NBA, this is indeed a normal thing. He is now able to become the Warriors' starting small forward because of Cole's promotion and kicking Barnes from the starting position.
Only when you come down can you successfully ascend.
And he had no intention of staying with the Warriors forever. This is Curry's team, and Wang Feng, who has a system, will definitely not be willing to always be inferior to others!
He is satisfied enough to be able to receive the strongest bonus for two years with the Warriors, and there is no need to force it.
Previously, Wang Feng had also considered whether to renew his contract with the Warriors, play the role of Durant, win five consecutive championships and six consecutive championships, and achieve great things.
But if you think about it, what’s the point?
For Wang Feng, who has a system and digitized his body, as if he were playing a game, there is no difference between playing for the Warriors and having a cheat code.
In fact, the system itself is just a kind of plug-in. If you add plug-ins, the fun of the game will be gone, there will be no challenge, and it will be too boring.
What's more, after talking to Cole, Wang Feng also understood Cole's choice, or the choice of the Warriors management.
Between Wang Feng and Green, they will choose the latter, even if Wang Feng's level continues to grow, even if Wang Feng has the Chinese market behind him.
The reason for this is that he also knows very well that Green's tactical position in the Warriors is irreplaceable, but Wang Feng has substitutes, such as...Kevin Durant.
