Chapter 106: Questioning
Doubts are overwhelming......
Meng Xiaohao's miserable performance in the first regular season game was overwhelmingly questioned by the media and fans.
Although Meng Xiaohao did a good job in connecting the team, he still couldn't hide his really bad performance, which was really miserable.
Countless people now think that the New York Fortune Players trading Elzer for the No. 9 pick is a very unwise choice, a very stupid choice.
And Elzer also ridiculed Meng Xiaohao and the New York Fortune Team on social media, saying that the brains of the New York Fortune Team have been kicked by the donkey, and there is no place to spend the money, so Meng Xiaohao will be selected as a parallel import, he is not worthy of being in the ninth pick at all, and he is not even worthy of being selected in the first round.
Although Elzer's words were very ugly, and he also received persuasion or abuse from many people, Elzer still had nothing to do, and took the trouble to spray Meng Xiaohao and the management of the New York Fortune Team.
"This man is sick! This person is a pathological! Meng Xiaohao made a lot of nonsense on social media with Erzer, and he could only scold in private, after all, his first game was really poor, and he really didn't deserve the title of the ninth pick, so he could only swallow his anger.
Meng Xiaohao's poor performance also gave the coach of the New York Fortune Team a headache, he didn't expect Meng Xiaohao to play like this in the first game, although Meng Xiaohao's talent and strength in training and preseason games were very good, but this first game, it was indeed like.
Now, the coach of the New York Fortune team needs to think carefully about Meng Xiaohao's playing time and the role Meng Xiaohao plays in the team.
In training a few days after the race......
Meng Xiaohao's face was very ugly, all kinds of doubts on the Internet, and reporters would suddenly appear at every turn, asking Meng Xiaohao about such a very sensitive question about his performance, which made Meng Xiaohao have a headache.
Meng Xiaohao's bad state also smeared a layer of haze on the New York Fortune team, after all, Meng Xiaohao is the fresh blood in their team, so Meng Xiaohao's state also determines the combat strength of the New York Fortune team, Meng Xiaohao's bad state will also reduce the strength of the New York Fortune team.
……
In the second game, the New York Fortune Players are still playing at home......
The night before the game, in the evening......
The team's training hall is still lit up, and Meng Xiaohao trains very hard inside......
The sweat has soaked through Meng Xiaohao's training clothes, and the sweat on his face has also dripped down Meng Xiaohao's cheeks and onto the ground, and the basketballs scattered all over the ground can be seen that Meng Xiaohao has been training for a long time.
Meng Xiaohao gasped, he must have a good performance tomorrow, his state can't go on like this, he is likely to be laid off if he goes on like this, there is Coach Li Xupeng behind him, and his mother, he wants to fight for them.
I still have to set an example for Li Mulin, in such a state, how to set an example, it is simply a fool's dream, unrealistic, in this state, Li Mulin can easily surpass himself in the North American Alliance, so he must work hard!
Meng Xiaohao thought about it, and began to continue training, and in the training hall, he remembered the sound of slapping the ball again.
On the day of the race......
Even though Meng Xiaohao trained very hard last night, the ruthless fact still hit him, and his state was still surprisingly poor, as if the basketball was magical, as long as Meng Xiaohao took the ball, or shot, the ball would not move according to Meng Xiaohao's meaning, as if he was teasing Meng Xiaohao.
In this game, Meng Xiaohao's statistics were still miserable, playing 10 minutes, 5 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, 2 turnovers, and 1 foul.
Although the data is much better than the previous game, whether it is Meng Xiaohao, the coach, or teammates, they are still not satisfied with this data.
Meng Xiaohao has ten minutes of playing time, and he has handed over such miserable data, or two games in a row, which is really unreasonable, although there are many players in the league who are also like this, and suddenly can't find the state, but they are different from Meng Xiaohao, and even, there is a fundamental difference.
Those players who are not in good form at times, many of them are veterans, or some role players on the fringe, and it is difficult for some superstars to come up with such a dismal report card.
And the essential difference between those players and Meng Xiaohao is that Meng Xiaohao has been blown by the media before entering the league, and he has been questioned a lot.
Now Meng Xiaohao's situation is very bad, even if there are all kinds of doubts from fans and the media, the coach of the New York Fortune team is also shortening Meng Xiaohao's playing time in various ways, of course, Meng Xiaohao can understand the coach's intention to do this, and his performance is really not worthy of his playing time.
Meng Xiaohao's state lasted for two games......
Shooting can't score, inexplicable mistakes, and completely unnecessary fouls, these are all things that Meng Xiaohao appeared when he was playing.
Meng Xiaohao sat firmly on the best black list in the red and black list of players in these four games, which made Meng Xiaohao very embarrassed, but there was no way, this data was indeed very miserable.
The average score per game in the first four games is 5.1 points, which is the lowest data among the top ten selected rookies, the champion Lucas's average points per game is already 19.4 points, Brooke has 18.1 points, and Siwell's 16.3 points are a lot higher than Meng Xiaohao, and even Eddick's average points per game are higher than Meng Xiaohao, and they have reached an average of 9.8 points per game.
This made Meng Xiaohao, who was in the New York Fortune Team, where there were no superstars, look very embarrassed.
The current Meng Xiaohao can't put on a few smiling faces every day, he is not the kind of person who has no heart and lungs, of course he knows that he has to work hard, but the cold reality slapped Meng Xiaohao with two big mouths.
Meng Xiaohao's efforts are actually in the eyes of the coach of the New York Fortune Team, and he sees Meng Xiaohao's talent and strength.
So he also felt very strange, why Meng Xiaohao didn't feel at all, it didn't seem to conform to the laws of physics.
Of course, although the coach knows that Meng Xiaohao is training very hard, the coach still won't give Meng Xiaohao too much playing time, unless Meng Xiaohao's state recovers, his playing time will get shorter and shorter, until he is traded, or even cut, this is the business league, if you can't, then you will be eliminated.
The coach has already told Meng Xiaohao about the situation, Meng Xiaohao also expressed his understanding, and also promised to get back to form as soon as possible, Meng Xiaohao said that he would not let the team wait too long.
……
But it's not easy to get back in shape, after four games, Meng Xiaohao's state began to decline slowly even when he was training, and he couldn't find his hand in shooting, which made the coach feel a crisis.
It seems that this is not that Meng Xiaohao himself is not good, but that Meng Xiaohao is not used to playing under so many people, so many spotlights, and flashlights, which is very likely to be caused by extreme nervousness, although Meng Xiaohao himself did not feel it, but this situation has spread to the court.
This is what the coach can't do, at this time, unless Meng Xiaohao can correct it himself, or a life mentor suddenly appears to enlighten Meng Xiaohao, otherwise it will be very difficult, because Meng Xiaohao himself has not realized this serious problem, and he is still thinking that it is just that he is not in a good state.
The coach is also very headache now, Meng Xiaohao is a good seedling, he doesn't plan to give up just like that, but he has no effect to enlighten Meng Xiaohao, he can only pin his hopes on others, but he found that neither Edric, nor Edward, nor Reed seem to have a good effect.
……
In the fifth game, Meng Xiaohao's state still hasn't picked up, it's still so bad......
In the locker room after the game, Meng Xiaohao sat in front of his closet in annoyance, it was already the fifth game, and Meng Xiaohao even felt that he was not suitable for the North American League......
At this time, Meng Xiaohao's phone rang......
"Hello?" Meng Xiaohao took it weakly.
Suddenly, Meng Xiaohao let out an exclamation, which startled all the teammates present......
"Coach Li Xupeng?"
