Successfully scored 64 points, Zhang Feng took advantage of the dead ball to take the initiative to apply for a break, and the king had a lead of up to 38 points, with less than 9 minutes left in the game.

Moreover, Rose, Mason, and Temple are also very good in offense and defense, and they can play back and forth with the Spurs starters, and the Rockets want to turn the tables unless there are two peak Maddies.

On the other hand, Zhang Feng didn't play for the rest of the time, and the fans were naturally unhappy, the live DJ didn't take the lead in coaxing, and the Golden No. 1 Center also sounded bursts of shouts.

Listen carefully, things like 'Hit 70 points', 'Try harder, brush up on a few more steals!'" 'Don't you want all four pairs?' There are countless such shouts, and at the end there is even an exaggerated demand for '100 points'.

In the face of such enthusiastic fans, Zhang Feng got up and bowed around, and the fans applauded and cheered.

Originally, this action was nothing, but the game was not over yet, which would make the Rockets players on the court look more embarrassed.

Especially Paul, the expression on his face was contradictory and tangled, he obviously knew that the game would definitely not be able to be chased back, but he did not dare to get off the court, for fear of being led by the king by more than 58 points.

……

Paul continued to stay on the court, and Barkley said very upset: "The game is like this, why don't you go down and reflect? Don't give the bench players a chance to try, and keep an 8-man rotation throughout the series, what to win the Kings? ”

Barkley's voice fell, Kenny took over the topic, shook his head and said: "It's not Paul's fault that the 8-man rotation is not Paul's, De Anthony is responsible for it, for a whole season, Harden and Paul both had a period of recuperation due to injury, but the Rockets' bench, except for Gerard Green, no one else stepped up"

"How can you blame De-Anthony?" O'Neal's eyes widened, and he continued: "He tried to call a timeout twice but Paul blocked it, and I bet the Rockets definitely didn't execute the set tactics."

"How so? You don't want to play with the guesswork set! Maybe the two are communicating," Kenny retorted.

"It's very simple, when the Rockets were chasing points in the third quarter, I noticed Paul's 2 three-pointers and Harden's 3-pointers, and the Rockets bench was jubilant, but the coaching staff was like falling into an ice cellar, which was obviously not the result that the coaching staff wanted to see."

Barkley observed and speculated, but Kenny still frowned and asked: "Hehe, the Rockets have been like this throughout the regular season, not to mention behind, even if they are ahead, the coaching staff is bitter and hateful, as if they are 20 points behind, you haven't watched the Rockets game except for the live broadcast, right?" ”。

"Don't argue, it's over, the post-match press conference will start right away, Maggio, go ask De Antony what the hell is going on," O'Neill commanded.

……

At the post-game press conference of the Western Conference Finals, as the losing side, De Anthony represented the Rockets and took the stage first to accept questions from reporters. Except for him, not to mention that Harden and Paul didn't come, and even a substitute like Gordon didn't come, obviously because of the big loss, and he couldn't hang his face.

"Coach, in terms of the playoffs, 95 points is not too low, but losing to the Kings by 33 points, is there some major decision-making mistake?"

"Forehead......" De Antony was obviously a little short of breath, and he thought about it for about half a minute before he slowly said: "We made some mistakes on the court, the Kings are in very good shape, and the shooting percentage wants to be high, so ......"

The answer was not asked, and he obviously didn't want to continue, all the reporters present were human spirits, and they instantly smelled some unusual smells, and there must be big news waiting to be discovered in Team Rocket.

"Coach, we noticed that in the second half of the third quarter, you and Paul had a conflict over whether or not to be temporary, is that the reason why you are down by a big score?"

The reporter asked this question more trickily, directly assuming that De-Antony and Paul had a conflict, like someone asking, 'Have you been beating your wife lately?' This kind of question.

If you don't beat your wife, answering 'no' is wrong, and it will cause others to think that you have beaten your wife before, and the correct answer should be 'I've never beaten my wife'.

Paul insisted on not pausing...... "Anthony, who was highly nervous in the audience, did not realize the reporter's trap at the first time, and hurriedly changed his words after reacting: "We have no conflict, just some communication delays."

The fierce material has been dug up, where will the reporter give up, they chased and asked:

"Why didn't Paul take a break in garbage time?"

"The number of fouls in this game, the Kings have 10 more fouls than the Rockets, does it have an impact on the trend of the game?"

"Zhang Feng is against Harden, he can defend as much as he wants, does the Rockets' offensive tactics rely too much on singles?"

A barrage of questions, De Antony pushed off one after another, and basically every one he didn't want to answer. At the end of the day, he left a "sorry, there's something else to take care of" and got up and left the table.

After De Antony left, David and Zhang Feng took the stage together to answer questions from reporters. As the absolute protagonist of this game, all the questions of the reporters were asked to Zhang Feng, and David on the side was completely ignored.

But David didn't care at all, and watched the interview with a smile all the time. Occasionally, a reporter asked a wonderful question, or Zhang Feng answered a question very beautifully, and he applauded and cheered.

……

Early the next morning of the game against the Rockets, the Kings showed up en masse at their new base to practice as usual.

In addition to regular training such as running tactics and shooting, David also added a new 'non-contact' defensive tactics exercise, if nothing else, for fear that in the next game, the King will be targeted by the referee again.

After running for half an hour, the king finally practiced the new tactic.

During the break, everyone gathered around to discuss tactics, and Brandon, the team's deputy general manager, walked onto the court.

"Hey friends, I have good news for you"

"What's the news? Don't talk about lace news, don't break our closed training and stay away from social media rules" David got vaccinated in advance.

"It's definitely not any frivy news, it's good news for us to win the Western Conference Finals," Brandon pretended to be mysterious.

"You mean! I haven't played with my phone for half a day, and my heart is itching, don't hang your appetite" Mason looked anxious.

"Haha" Brandon took out his mobile phone and said after a call: "You see, last night someone photographed De-Anthony arguing with Paul and Harden, and the picture and voice are very clear. Harden complained that the bench players didn't improve enough firepower support and didn't do a good job of tactical response, and Paul didn't speak, but he clearly agreed with Harden's statement.

"No wonder a reporter asked De-Anthony yesterday if he had a conflict with Paul," Zhang Feng said thoughtfully.

"There may be more than just contradictions, De Anthony retorted that neither Harden nor Paul implemented the tactics set by the coaching staff, and he didn't even have the authority to call a timeout, let alone provide enough firepower from the bench"

"It's great news, the Rockets are going to be out of line, and it's going to be easier for us to win this series!"
