At the end of the third quarter, Meng Xiaohao's data was already 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, which was also the highest score in Meng Xiaohao's career so far.

Meng Xiaohao's data, if he continues to play in the fourth quarter, should go to the next level.

And Lucas's stats have already reached thirty, and his assists have already reached ten, and before the fourth quarter, Lucas's stats have already reached a double-double.

Meng Xiaohao believes that with his excellent play in the third quarter, he should be able to get more playing time in the fourth quarter.

But in fact, this is not the case, in the fourth quarter, Coach Garcia pressed Meng Xiaohao to the bench, and for a whole quarter, let the starting point guard of the Fortune team play and play the whole fourth quarter.

But it is clear that the starting point guard of the Fortune team did not show a performance comparable to Lucas, and was suppressed by Lucas in all aspects, and the performance could not be compared with Meng Xiaohao at all.

The final result can be imagined, the Fortune team lost the game.

Lucas scored the highest points of his career, with a big triple-double of 43 points, 12 rebounds and 17 assists, which is simply a perverted level, and Lucas also set a record, he is the fastest rookie to get a triple-double in the history of the North American league.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the New York Fortunes couldn't limit Lucas at all, resulting in Lucas being omnipotent on the offensive end, leading the Royals to overtake the Fortune Players and leading all the way, even if Adrick scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, he couldn't stop the Royals.

After this game, the Washington Royals jumped 11th in the East to 8th in the East, while the Fortune Players fell to 10th in the East, as Detroit Industries, now in ninth place, also won by beating the Los Angeles Stars in an upset.

The day after the end of the game, the New York Fortune team was pushed to the forefront by the media public opinion, and the media's verbal criticism of the New York Fortune team was nothing more than that Coach Garcia did not let Meng Xiaohao play in the fourth quarter, and Meng Xiaohao's outstanding performance may lead the Fortune team to victory in the game.

But Coach Garcia didn't do that, and he brought the team's starting point guard on the court, which led to the loss of the game.

Some media believe that Coach Garcia's approach this time is completely for the unity of the team and chose to sacrifice Meng Xiaohao.

Although Meng Xiaohao has been in excellent form recently, he is a newcomer to the team after all, and sometimes, the newcomer has to make some sacrifices for the team, and between the starters and the rookies, every coach may choose the starters.

And the media broke the news, in fact, the intra-team contradictions of the Fortune Team have now intensified, and the source of the contradictions is Meng Xiaohao's outstanding performance, some of which threaten the starting position of the starting point guard, so the starting point guard united several veterans to suppress Meng Xiaohao within the team, which is the so-called deliberate isolation.

Although no matter who interviews Meng Xiaohao and others, they will always say that this is not a matter of nothing, don't listen to their nonsense and the like, but a discerning person can still see at a glance that the atmosphere in the team of the Fortune Team has become very subtle.

Gradually, the Fortune team's record began to decline, and it fell very badly, losing seven of the last ten games, including the game against the Boston Revolutionaries, the Fortune team lost a full 45 points, which was simply slaughtered by the revolutionaries.

Next, the team's internal contradictions were intensified again, and the starting point guard of the New York Fortune Players openly bombarded on social media, saying that some bench players and some rookies were not serious at all during training and were very lazy, which led to the team's recent defeat, and the spearhead was directed at Meng Xiaohao.

And Meng Xiaohao was not to be outdone, and on the second day of the news from the starting point guard of the Fortune Team, he also bombarded on social media, saying that some players, relying on their own time in the team for a long time, have no one in their eyes, negative game, basketball is to speak with strength, if you don't have the strength, then get off your position as soon as possible! The spearhead is directed at the starting point guard.

Meng Xiaohao's words are very straightforward, and anyone with a discerning eye can understand it, that is, I have been looking at you for a long time as the starter, you should be careful for me.

In this way, the intra-team conflict of the New York Fortune Players has been completely intensified.

Even the media broke the news that at the intra-team training match of the Fortune Team, Meng Xiaohao and the starting point guard broke out into a violent conflict, and the two sides were about to fight for a while, but in the end they were pulled away by the players.

A few days later, the media even released a video of the conflict, in which Meng Xiaohao and the starting point guard had a violent conflict, and this matter was once again pushed to the forefront.

Now that this matter has become known, Meng Xiaohao and the starting point guard know that there is no need to hide it, so the two sides will carry out real-name bombardment on social media at every turn.

The starting point guard is to grasp some things such as Meng Xiaohao's young and ignorant respect, negative training, etc., while Meng Xiaohao is to say that the starting point guard is negative in the game, has no strength but sits in the starting position, no one in his eyes, the heart of a villain, etc.

Correspondingly, it is the large-scale losing streak of the Fortune Team, and the current Fortune Team has fallen directly to the fourteenth place in the East, which is directly the second-to-last record in the East and the fourth-to-last in the league.

Of course, of course, the league can't let Meng Xiaohao and them continue to mess around like this, because this is too embarrassing for the North American league, so the league directly sanctioned Meng Xiaohao and the starting point guard of the Fortune Team, and gave the two a five-game ban in the name of disrupting the order of the league, and even punished Meng Xiaohao for not being allowed to participate in the All-Star Rookie Exhibition Game.

Although this treatment eased the tense atmosphere of the Fortune team, the impact of this punishment on the team was too great.

Many fans, the media, including experts, expressed their incomprehension and dissatisfaction with the way the New York Fortune team handled the matter.

They believe that the most direct way to solve this kind of player conflict is to trade, because this kind of thing, only by trading the two to different teams, is the best solution, either choose to trade Meng Xiaohao, or choose to trade the starting point guard, the trade-off between the two lies in the team management itself.

Of course, when the two had conflicts, the New York Fortune team really received some trades, but more importantly, they hoped to get Meng Xiaohao, including the Los Angeles Stars.

The owner of the Los Angeles Stars, Cizeri, likes Meng Xiaohao very much, and he has always wanted Meng Xiaohao to be his player, this time Meng Xiaohao had a conflict with the starting point guard, Cizeri thought it was a great opportunity, so he applied for a trade from the Fortune Team.

But it's a pity that the Fortune Team doesn't plan to release people, they think that Meng Xiaohao has great potential, so they don't plan to let Meng Xiaohao go, which makes Xi Zeli a little headache.

Of course, the farce is over......

Meng Xiaohao did not participate in the rookie exhibition game because of the league's punishment, and the All-Star Weekend passed.

The Fortune Players didn't make any trades, and the starting point guard and Meng Xiaohao were both on the team, so many people were worried about the future of the Fortune Players this season.

But in Game 5 after All-Star Weekend, something happened......

The Fortune team's starting point guard accidentally landed on the ground during a breakaway layup, resulting in a broken ankle that cost him the entire season......

This time, the farce of contradictions within the team of the New York Fortune Players can be regarded as the end, because of the injury of the starting point guard, so Meng Xiaohao naturally became the starting player.

But Meng Xiaohao doesn't actually have to be a starter, he mainly doesn't like that player's personality, but since he is injured, then his position will naturally be replaced by Meng Xiaohao.

After Meng Xiaohao became the starter, the New York Fortune team began to gradually get on the right track.
