After returning from Los Angeles, Ye Feng didn't have time to re-devote himself to the regular season, when he got sad news from head coach McMillan: Roy, the team's captain, was reimbursed for the season, at least for the regular season, and whether he could play in the playoffs depended on how quickly he recovered.

Generally speaking, many teams start to work after the All-Star Weekend, with the top of the rankings hoping for a better spot, and the bottom of the rankings also wanting to grab a ticket to the playoffs. And the news of Roy's regular season reimbursement is undoubtedly a bombshell, even if Matthews can perfectly top the starting No. 2 position, the impact of this news on the team's morale is immeasurable, and it is even very likely that the Trail Blazers will quickly fall into the abyss, knowing that the remaining 26 games are still very difficult for the Trail Blazers.

Sure enough, in the first training session after the All-Star break, almost every Trail Blazers player looked a little listless, especially the old man who played for the team last season, they all remembered the terrifying injury wave that seemed to have been cursed by the devil, even if the team finally reached the Finals, it was the result of a combination of many factors, and in terms of team strength alone, sixth in the West is indeed their real ranking. I thought that the team could get rid of that curse this season, but I didn't expect the captain of the team to be reimbursed for the season again, is Portland called "Tear City" because it is a cursed city?

No one doubts the authenticity of this news, in fact, Roy's injury was a few months ago, and it is only now that the official announcement of reimbursement has been a reluctant conclusion after many medical inquiries. At that time, the management may not have been lucky, and did not hesitate to help Roy contact the best kinesiology experts in the United States and the famous doctor of the leg injury for diagnosis, but the result was endless sadness and pain.

Maybe there were only one and a half people in the whole training class who looked normal, one person was Ye Feng, and the other half was Matthews who had some gains and losses. Ye Feng understands Matthews' performance very well, on the one hand, it is a tempting starting position, and on the other hand, it is strange that Matthews can have a normal face under the interweaving of the two! Ye Feng's ability to face the news calmly does not mean that he can teach his teammates how to deal with it, everyone's mentality towards the same thing is different, but obviously this atmosphere is not conducive to the team's preparation, and some necessary changes are urgently needed.

But before Ye Feng could discuss this matter with the head coach, the Trail Blazers suffered defeat in the first game after the All-Star, even if the opponent was the Lakers and the final score difference was not large, but this was a bad start for the Trail Blazers. The players showed nonchalance in the game, but most of all on the defensive end, where they allowed Kobe Bryant to score a game-high 37 points, Artest added 24 points, and Gasol also had a double-double of 18 points and 14 rebounds.

Although the three of them scored 20+ points on the Trail Blazers' side, they were also the only players on the team to score double-double points - Ye Feng 29 points, Aldridge 27 points, and Matthews 22 points. Aldridge was the only player who was able to play well despite being in a mood swing, but surprisingly, the veterans of Miller and Camby also seemed to have been affected, with the former contributing seven points and eight assists, and the latter only having four points and seven rebounds. To add insult to the embarrassment of the Trail Blazers players, they heard boos on their home court, which was unimaginable before, and it was clear that their performance was dissatisfying to the fans in attendance.

McMillan was also a little concerned about the state of the players, and at Ye Feng's suggestion, he decided to hold a player meeting, anyway, including the game against the Lakers, the Trail Blazers played four games in a row in the Rose Garden, and there was time to call the players for a meeting. As the current core player of the team, Ye Feng was assigned by the head coach to speak at the players' meeting, and Ye Feng did not shirk it, he believed that it was his responsibility.

Originally, McMillan thought that the loss to the Lakers would make the players more sober, but when he walked into the conference room, he found that his players were all hanging their heads, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull, as if everyone had not yet come out of the shadow of Roy's reimbursement, and the loss was more like a blow than a spur to them. McMillan shook his head with some hatred, he didn't want to see everyone creating negative energy.

But well...... It seems that there are still people who are scrappy. McMillan looked at Ye Feng, who was sitting on the side, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't be more satisfied with this little guy in the third grade. But McMillan didn't have a good temper in the face of the others, and in order to have a better effect, he slammed the table and yelled, "What's wrong? What's wrong with each one? Brandon reimburses you all to become ostriches? Aren't you the ones who made it to the finals last season? ”

McMillan's actions still seemed to be effective, as if they were shocked by him, and everyone raised their heads one after another, looking at the manager with an angry face in confusion. McMillan saw that it was effective, and the words of criticism sprayed mercilessly like a storm: "I don't understand, is our team's military spirit so weak? If you think about it, this is already very lucky compared to last season, you were able to bravely continue to move forward last season, and this season you have become a turtle with a shrunken head? I think about it, I don't seem to be doing anything, why does it look like I'm not on the same team? ”

"I thought this season we could replicate the miracle of last season and even go further, but now it seems like I'm thinking a little bit too much, and it's good to make the playoffs, let alone the finals again. To be honest, I'm ashamed of your performance, but do you guys still act like a pro? I think those amateur players are much better than you! ”

"Of course, we still have players in the squad who are doing well, yes, I can only describe it as normal because I don't want to put you to shame too much. I don't need to say anything about this person, you should know who it is, so I'm going to let him tell you how to suppress your inner anxiety and hesitation. I think it will help you a lot in your future careers. ”
