Wang Meng sat on the sidelines in a suit, helplessly looking at the big score on the scorer on the field, and covered his face with both hands.

At 110:89, there are still a few minutes left in the game to end, and Monty is ready to replace all the main players and is about to give up.

There is no chance, Wang Meng shook his head helplessly, this is the fourth game between the two sides, the first two games, the Hornets were won by the Thunder, Wang Meng was not there, Gasol who stepped forward performed very well, and he averaged 20 + 10 data per game in three games, plus Wallace averaged 18 points per game, Oden's 13 + 10 double-double, the Hornets still had the strength to fight with the Thunder, but without Wang Meng, Thorton could only be asked to start instead of Wang Meng, so that the Hornets substitute who was already blind was even more useless, In three consecutive games, the Hornets lost to the bench, 4:0, and the Hornets were swept by the Thunder.

Wang Meng wanted to play with illness several times during this period, and in his opinion, it was normal for players to fight with injuries, but his proposal was immediately opposed by the whole team, from Liss to Monty to Gasol and others, all of whom opposed Wang Meng to fight with illness.

"You don't want to live, do you? Do you know what Taylor's expression was when you fell to the ground? I've been with her for so long, and I've never seen her scared like this because of something, you know? You give me weirdness to stay on the bench and don't want to play until the injury is healed! That's what Liz said.

Wang Meng said weakly, "I'm not injured, it's just a strain, I don't need special treatment, it's okay." ”

"It's alright!" Liz raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "The first round of the playoffs almost broke people's faces, and the second round of the playoffs almost made people lame, if you attend the third round, I guess you will lose your name!" ”

Wang Meng sweated violently, this is the NBA and not a wrestling league, how can it be so terrifying? But Wang Meng didn't dare to say more to Lisi.

"Wang Meng, you are the core of the team, and the team will be built with you as the core, so your state is related to the direction of the whole team in the future, understand? I've seen too many talented people who have been ruined by injuries, you have to maintain a good competitive condition, the playoffs, it doesn't matter if you can't get in for a year or two, not to mention that we're already in the second round, yes, you're still young, as long as you work hard, the championship is definitely not a luxury. Monty said this, and at the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "I am still young, I still want to be the head coach for two more days, if you force you to play, I am afraid that my position as head coach will not be guaranteed."

"What? Playing sick? Wang Meng, you are not Kobe, that's right, Kobe did play with injuries many times, but Kobe was eager to prove him with a championship ring at that time, so he had no choice but to lead the team to win the championship. But you're different, you're still very young, and there are still many opportunities in the future, so there's no need to risk your body because of a second-round qualifying opportunity? Gasol said, "And to put it mildly, even if we win the Thunder, whether it is the Lakers or the Spurs, it will be difficult for us to win it in the future, and the result will inevitably fail, in that case, why risk you to get hurt to gamble?" It's not cost-effective! ”

Due to the opposition of all parties, Wang Meng could only sit helplessly on the bench and watch the Hornets be swept 4:0 at his home court.

The field was full of people holding "Wang Meng!" Let's save the wasps! Wang Meng is very helpless, I also want to play, but the name that Monty is not sure of is placed in the list of 12 people, how can I get on?

This is good, Wang Meng needs two weeks of recuperation, and Thunder directly gave Wang Meng a summer rest.

The Hornets stopped in the second round, and the Thunder advanced. The Thunder completed the proud record of sweeping all opponents in the first and second rounds of the playoffs, but their next road will be difficult, without Westbrook, Durant will lead the way to win over the Spurs or the Lakers.

As the core of the Hornets, Wang Meng was criticized by many people in the league after the Hornets lost the game, and the first to bear the brunt was the league's hottest commentator, and Sir Charles Barkley, who was also very optimistic about Wang Meng.

"Wang Meng only suffered a small injury, but he chose to recuperate in the next three games, which I really don't understand, who in the league has not been injured when? Just because of a small injury, he chose to take a break and the team failed, I can only say that Wang Meng is not a man enough! Although the strength and momentum he is showing now are very manly, I still think he can't do it. If he didn't have the heart to get back to victory, he would never have been the league's top star and wouldn't have caught up with or surpassed Michael. Barkley's criticism was very heavy, probably because he liked Wang Meng's style of play very much, so he was very angry when he saw Wang Meng choose to sit off the court next.

"What? Wang Meng is injured? Just a torn ligament? Kobe Bryant, who was playing with the Spurs, smiled when he heard this, "You know, if it were me, I would definitely choose to play and stick to the game, just a little injury, anyone can overcome it, I would love to face Wang Menggasol's Hornets in the Western Conference Finals." At this time, the Lakers had already led the Spurs 3:2 to win the match point, and victory was just around the corner.

Of course, there are those who choose to let Wang Meng play, and there are those who suggest that Wang Meng not play.

"Wang Meng had better take care of his injuries." As Wang Meng's colleague, Yao Ming is very worried about Wang Meng's injury, Wang Meng is the ace force of the men's basketball team in the summer to impact the Olympic Games, without Wang Meng, Yao Ming can't imagine how far the men's basketball team can go, so he is the one who is most afraid of Wang Meng's injury, "There are too many players who have been ruined by injuries, Tracy, I am one of them, I know the pain of not being able to play because of injuries, so I very much hope that Wang Meng will not be bad because of underestimating this injury and accidentally suffering a bigger injury." ”

As Barkley, Smith has always expressed a different perspective than Barkley, and this time was no exception.

"There have been a lot of excellent point guards this season, Rose, Westbrook, Wang Meng, these players are very young, the future is limitless, I don't think Wang Meng can risk being injured again because of a victory in one or two games, obediently recuperate and wait until next season to break out, this is the choice of smart people."

Regardless of what these people think and what the fans think, Wang Meng and his Hornets in the playoffs of the 12th season finally stopped in the second round and watched the show off the court in advance.
