'The responsibility for the loss is on me, I couldn't figure out the best way to win, but it's not a problem, we still have a season to get used to and I'm looking forward to the next meeting.'

At the press conference, Tang Tian faced the doubts of media reporters and still chose to protect George.

It's also one of his attitudes, treating George as a member of the Nets.

After two road games, the Nets returned to home season games.

They played back-to-back games against the Knicks, Hawks and Hornets over the next week.

The advantage of being in the East is that most of the opponents are on the weak side, which makes the game a lot easier.

George had a good performance in those three games, scoring 19 points and 4 rebounds, 25 points and 6 rebounds, and 20 points and 5 rebounds.

In seven games this season, he averaged 17.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.6 steals per game, shooting 43% from the field and 37% from three-point range.

With the Nets, which have a lot of scoring points, playing such a statistic, it's hard to say badly.

But fans who have really watched the game know that George has been playing all the time, so the performance is that he can play well against weak teams, but as long as he plays against strong teams, he is very bad.

One thing that can be verified by the stats is his steal count, since his rookie season to now, he has averaged 1.6 steals per game, but this season he has not even made one.

This also proves that he is less motivated and invested on the field than usual.

This is obviously not the George that Tang Tian or the Nets want, such a George is not as good as the original Booker.

You must know that Booker is now playing well with the Pacers, leading the team to a 4-3 record, which is not even much worse than the Nets.

"Are we wrong?" After another loss to the Rockets, Jones couldn't help but say this.

The Warriors, Celtics, and Rockets, all of the Nets' main contenders for the title, have now lost one after another, and the Nets' current 5-3 record is worse than it was at the same time last season.

George's performances in these games were all "embarrassing", and the Nets lost a lot of power this year.

"I'll find a chance to talk to George." Tang Tian didn't say much, people were the ones he mainly came over, and he couldn't blame others if there was a problem.

After Jones was gone, Tang Tian then began to think.

In his previous life, George joined the Thunder, and the Thunder's record was not good at the beginning, and most people thought it was a run-in problem at the time.

In his previous life, George ended up staying with the Thunder and had a lot to do with Westbrook.

But now that the Nets don't have Westbrook, if he really finishes a season like this, he may only get a one-year right to use Booker in exchange for it.

The Nets' next game is against the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers and James have different meanings to George, and if that doesn't change him, then he might really have to talk to George.

The game against the Cavaliers was at home.

The attendance rate of the Barclays Center reached more than 90%, and the venue was almost full.

New York fans are practical, and with the Nets bringing in two All-Stars for the new season, they are naturally more motivated to come to the home court.

However, many die-hard fans have a worried look on their faces, the Nets have not won any of the past matches with strong teams, and they are afraid that they will be cool when they meet their old rival Cavaliers, you must know that the Cavaliers have a 7-2 record after getting Delon in the summer, and they currently have a 7-2 record at the top of the Eastern Conference.

And if they lose this game again, the Nets will suffer a three-game losing streak.

Tang Tian's expression before the game was not very good, although he was the boss and no one would fire him, but the identity of the godfather made him psychologically under a lot of pressure.

Both sides fielded regular starting lineups.

On the Nets' side, Irving, Butler, George, Yi Jianlian and Jokic.

On the Cavaliers' side, Deron and Wade on the outside, James and Love on the front, and Thompson on the center.

The outside combination of Deron and Wade is significantly stronger than last season's Irving and Smith's defensive strength, and the Nets' performance on the offensive end is not much different from the last game.

Tang Tian couldn't stand it in the second quarter, so he directly asked Tucker to replace him.

At halftime, the Cavaliers led the Nets by 10 points, 55-45.

Playing according to the rhythm, the Nets' three-game losing streak is a sure thing.

At halftime, Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines as usual, and Frank took the players back to the locker room first.

"What the hell happened to Paul George?"

"If he really doesn't want to stay here, are we going to trade him to Los Angeles as soon as possible?"

The reporter's question made Tang Tian a little angry, and after answering a few copies, he turned around and went back to the locker room.

He went back to the locker room and didn't go inside, and when he opened the door, he called out to George and motioned for him to come out.

He is now holding back the fire in his belly, and it is not good to make it in front of the team.

George was stunned for a moment, but got up and walked out.

Walking to a distance from the locker room, Tang Tian said directly and unhappily: "George, do you want to go to Los Angeles now?!" ”

George was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tang Tian to directly cover his face like this.

"If you want to go to Los Angeles now, I'll let you sit on the sidelines for a season on the bench for the rest of the game." Tang Tian was still angry.

George was really stunned, he thought that Tang Tian would say that he would be traded to Los Angeles later, but he didn't think that he would sit on the bench for one season.

He may not believe what other head coaches say, after all, the team has record requirements, and the boss will not allow them to do so, but Tang Tian in front of him is an exception, in addition to being the coach, he is also the big boss of the team.

Tang Tian really wanted to do this, and no one could stop him.

"Coach, I'm a professional player, and now I'm part of the Nets, I don't think about anything else." George said as he came back to his senses.

"Then give me some professional footballer qualities!" The word F in Tang Tian's mouth did not fall.

"I can ignore the previous games, but who are you playing now? Cavaliers, who are you playing against? LeBron, where did you go to fight against him? As far as you were in the first half, you weren't as good as a sophomore in Brogdon, why did you tell me about your career? Tang Tian sprayed George's face.

George was speechless.

"Don't make me look down on you, George, you're a better player than an All-Star in my mind, and don't make me feel like your contract is rubbish in the end." After speaking, Tang Tian shook George's face and went back to the locker room angrily.
