For the loss of this game, Hornets fans did not take it to heart, the Hornets are not a strong team now, plus the Celtics, a strong team in the league, although Wang Meng's performance is not as eye-catching as the first two games, but also got a double-double, the other players played except for Gasol a little disappointing, everyone else is very good, and there is no regret about losing.

But on December 31, when the Hornets challenged the Suns away, something surprising to the Hornets fans happened, the Hornets lost again, and they lost very badly, 113:93, the big score of 20 points lost to the Suns, Wang Meng and Gasol's dual-core play in this game is very average, one scored 12 points and 7 assists, and the other is 17 points and 8 rebounds.

On January 2, against the Kings 90:93, and on January 3, away against the Jazz 88:92, the Hornets instantly ushered in a wave of four consecutive defeats, and the Hornets fans who watched it were extremely painful.

"Could it be that the dual-core of the future is just a parallel import?" The headline in the Hornets' local sports newspaper that day read: "Originally, we thought that although Paul was gone, we ushered in a new hope, that is, the Chinese god boy Wang Meng, who lived up to our expectations at the beginning, and his strong performance gave us hope, and we saw the rise of a new star, but in the following games. Wang Meng averaged only 15 points and 7 assists per game, although this result can be regarded as a qualified point guard, but it is definitely not worthy of being called a leader, what we need is a strong leader, not a point guard who can only be qualified! ”

"Let's take a look at Gasol, this Spaniard has always been known for being soft, but he has also played with the Lakers for so long, his own strength is obvious to all, and he can play in the Hornets, although the results are average, but at least he can average 14 points and 10 rebounds per game, but this is not enough, we hope that Gasol can get a better play on the offensive end."

"Of course, this can't all blame these two people, the head coach of the Hornets Monty also has a big problem, we can see that Wang Meng's average playing time is only 29 minutes per game, and Gasol is only 30 minutes, and the average number of shots per game of these two people is only about 10 times, so how to let them play to their full strength? What the hell does Monty think? ”

In the face of the media's accusations, Monty was under great pressure, and he also called Wang Meng specifically.

"Big brother, let you put some water, but it's not like this, you have to be skillful to lose when you lose, you have so few shots?" Monty said helplessly.

"Didn't you do what you said?" Wang Meng looked very innocent, he was actually very uncomfortable when he lost, and now Monty called him to blame him, and he was even more unhappy.

"It's for you to release the water, but not for you to fight randomly, you're too open, aren't you afraid of losing all the fans at once?" Monti said: "You don't have any experience at all, and if you do that, you're going to lose all your fans. ”

"So what does it matter? Won't they all come back when I'm well? Wang Meng said indifferently, he may not understand anything else, but he knows that as long as he really has the strength, then everything will be fine."

"You're so naïve." Monty shook his head, "Can you guarantee that Liz will keep you whatever she says?" Are you sure that the big guy who hasn't met after your data is bad will be able to listen to Liz and keep you? ”

Wang Meng was stunned, his original idea was that because of the relationship with Lis, it didn't matter what he did, but if he thought about it carefully, Lisi was just the general manager and not the boss, and there was a boss above her, what attitude of this boss could be determined?

"Learn from Gasol and look at others, although they are also releasing water, but generally speaking, they still maintain the performance that an excellent power forward should have, reduce the number of shots at critical times, and seize the time to grab points and rebounds when it is not a critical period, so that even if you lose, you can mix up good data." Monty said earnestly.

"Thank you, Coach." Wang Meng listened to Monty's words and said gratefully.

"Thank you, you don't have to." Monty shook his head and said, "Actually, helping you is also helping myself, you know, I'm not sure if the boss will kick me out when he is messing up and sign a famous coach, so I think it's better to be stable." Let's play well in the next game. ”

Wang Meng nodded.

Hanging up Monty's phone, Wang Meng turned on the computer and found that China's major sports networks had already been full of rumors about him.

As the saying goes, there is a black one, although Wang Meng has replaced Yao Ming as the first Chinese player in the NBA, but the same Yao Hei has also been inherited and successfully evolved into a fierce black.

Wang Meng's two games just didn't get good, and this group of guys quarreled on the Internet, spreading everywhere that Wang Meng was actually a parallel import, and he couldn't get on the big scene at all. Now think about it carefully, Wang Meng's slam dunk contest championship is likely to be Stern's secret control of wanting to open the Chinese market, and the finals are even more fake.

This person's meaning is very obvious, that is, the entire NBA league is colluding to promote Wang Meng.

"I'll go, that's okay?" Wang Meng looked at all kinds of remarks on the Internet that made him squirt blood, and was a little speechless. Not to mention anything else, even if Stern really wants to use this method to open the Chinese market, Kobe Bryant is willing to let Kobe Bryant get injured in the finals? Is it possible to let James release James?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, although I haven't been good in these games, my average of 15 points and 7 assists per game is not too bad, right? Why was it hacked like this?

In a word, Wang Meng underestimated the power of various trolls in China.

"In that case, let's play well in the next game." Wang Meng made up his mind, it is not wrong to sacrifice his own data to put up a mess, and it doesn't mean that he won't win a game, what they discussed before was to release a few games and play a few games, if he kept losing, Monty was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the playoffs in the second half of the race.

The Hornets' next game is against the 76ers, at New Orleans Stadium, the home of the Hornets.
