I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 458 The Man Who Wears No. 23 on the Jordan Team!

After the first quarter of the game, the Spurs fans and the audience in front of the TV were stunned by the completely different styles of both sides in this game.

It's like Barkley shouting at the end of the first quarter that the sun rises from the west today.

Popovich, who has always been playing defense, will die holding on to defense, and even Duncan can't hold on to defense, but he actually leads the Spurs on offense!

And I have always relied on Chen Xiao. Whenever there is a problem, I have to ask Chen Xiao. If there is a problem with the defender, let Chen Xiao play as a defender. If there is a problem in the inside, let Chen Xiao play in the inside. He is complained that only Chen Xiao can play five positions and five tactics. Jordan, now with the Bobcats, has to rely on Chen Xiao!

To be honest, the first quarter of the game between the Spurs and Bobcats really confused everyone.

Including many professionals who follow the Spurs and Bobcats in front of the TV.

Although the biggest favorites this season are the Heat and Magic.

But the strength of the Bobcats and Spurs should not be underestimated, such a team will of course be concerned by the peers.

When watching the Bobcats, what you see is Chen Xiao’s personal ability. Chen Xiao has the personal ability to turn decay into magic. Therefore, in the first game of the Bobcats, many people were looking to see if Chen Xiao’s personal ability has reached the level of one person. The extent to which the Bobcats can bring a championship.

When looking at the Spurs, naturally what we look at is the Spurs' super defense. Last season, the Spurs relied on their defense to reach the finals. In the end, their defense was defeated by Yao Ming in the finals and they lost the series.

Therefore, in the first game of the Spurs, everyone has to see if the Spurs have solved their defensive problems.

However, what these professionals don't know how to evaluate is that these two teams have not continued to move forward on their original paths, but have changed their paths and are running in completely different or even opposite directions. .

Therefore, for a while, everyone didn't understand what Popovich and Jordan were going to do this season.

It's also impossible to say whether the Bobcats and Spurs are stronger or weaker this season than they were last season.

The prospects for the Bobcats and Spurs this season instantly became uncertain.

"For me, both Popovich and Jordan are respectable head coaches. In the NBA, it is difficult to step out of your comfort zone and take the initiative."

In front of the TV, Eddie Jordan, the head coach of the Wizards and former assistant coach of the Nets, watched the TV seriously and said.

Everyone is afraid of failure.

Therefore, everyone hopes to find a way that never fails.

Therefore, no one is willing to walk out of success.

This also has a famous saying in the NBA, that is, as long as you are still winning, even if the house is broken, there is no need to repair it. As long as there is no failure, there is no need to make any adjustments.

The performance of the Spurs and Bobcats last season, of course, can not be a failure.

A new Bobcats team has reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

A team as young as the Spurs has reached the finals.

This is not a failure, this is a huge success, okay?

With such a great success, instead of going down the original path, but turning around halfway, it is indeed incomprehensible.

However, after the second quarter of the game started, everyone in front of the TV saw that the Bobcats' second quarter rotation was led by Granger, with Roy, Aldridge, Gortat and Barnes. On the court, it can be confirmed that this season, Jordan is really going to quit Chen Xiao!

"Jordan feels that even if he doesn't rely so much on Chen Xiao this season, the Bobcats' record will not be bad!"

"So, this season, Jordan is going to focus on cultivating the young players of the team!"

"If this season Jordan really keeps this game going until the end of the season, then I applaud him.

I hope he won't cry and call for the ball to come back and continue to fly with him after playing a few games! "

After determining what Jordan and the Bobcats were going to do this season, Barkley didn't know whether to praise Jordan or criticize Jordan.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats and Spurs, both of whom were different from themselves, played a 50-50 draw.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs, playing at home, led the Bobcats by one point, 28 to 27.

However, in the second quarter, the Bobcats led by Granger clearly suppressed the Spurs led by Arenas, Finley, Zhu Fangyu, Oberto and Varejao.

But the Bobcats' rotation can suppress the Spurs' rotation, and this is not due to Granger.

Let Granger and Arenas attack, and then suppress Arenas, which is embarrassing Granger.

The reason why the Bobcats suppressed the Spurs' bench rotation led by Arenas was entirely because of the Bobcats' rookie, Roy!

"This dribbling, this breakthrough, this turn, this shot, the Bobcats' No. 23 player is so temperamental, isn't he?!"

"Brenton Roy, the second overall pick of the Bobcats this year, a 22-year-old player who graduated from the University of Washington, the Charlotte Bobcats' No. 23, a man who dares to wear No. 23 on Jordan's team, really has two skills!"

At this time, Roy, who was leading the team to beat Arenas and the Spurs on the court, did not know that he was already popular in China on the other side of the ocean.

In fact, in the United States, there is now a lot of discussion about Roy on the Internet.

In fact, after this year's draft, Roy became the second pick as a dark horse, which made many people think that Jordan was gambling or playing. How could Roy be worth the second pick?

Especially after the summer league, many people said that Jordan overturned.

In this year's summer league, Roy played well, averaging 15+5+5 per game. For a lottery-level rookie, this data and performance are very good.

However, you are ranked second, and you need to compare yourself with a group of equally talented players.

This year's No. 1 pick, Adam Morrison, shocked many people by averaging 24.6 points in 29.2 minutes per game in the summer league.

Morrison, the Celtics draft pick Larry Bird Jr. in exchange for Pierce, made countless Celtics fans cry during this summer league.

After every Celtics game, Celtics fans would wear Morrison's jerseys and shout loudly: "Back! Back! Our Big Bird is back!"

For Celtics fans and NBA experts, Morrison's scoring ability doesn't matter even if his other statistics are 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.2 steals.

A player with Larry Bird's offensive abilities is also a well-deserved superstar in the NBA!

As for Morrison, there is no doubt that Summer League played the best summer league offensive performance in NBA history.

Also, Bargnani, the No. 3 pick, scored a 20-point double-double in his summer league debut. He has been a double-double machine throughout the summer league. In the game, he showed that he was Many people underestimate his passing skills. In addition, he also has very good breakthrough ability, the ability to cooperate with smaller players on the outside in pick-and-rolls, and very good shot-blocking ability.

There is also Mosaic's No. 6 pick Tyrus Thomas. In the summer league, this is the same type of defensive all-around player as Marion, Wallace and Iguodala. He can average 16.2 points per game in the summer league. , 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Not only did he defend well, he also showed very good offensive ability.

There is also the No. 7 pick, Randy Foye, who is also the MVP of this summer league. This player is considered to be between Wade and Ben Gordon, not to mention his performance.

Even many players who are far inferior to Roy in the summer league performed better than Roy. For example, Sefolosha, a Swiss small forward, averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 steals per game in the summer league.

This data makes people feel like he is Pippen alive.

There is also Marcus Williams, the guard the Bobcats selected with the 14th pick but used it to trade Roy. In the summer league, he averaged 16.6 points and 9.3 assists per game and shot 56% from 3-point range. This performance is almost like Nash coming to the summer league.

summer league this season.

Roy's performance is definitely not as good as that of Foye, Morrison and Marcus Williams, and it is also somewhat inferior compared to Bargnani and others.

Even compared with Farmar, Carney and other players who can also average a little more than 16 points per game, there is no advantage.

For young rookies, when the summer league data reaches the NBA regular season, except for a few talented players like Morrison who don't have much playing time, it is better to discount them by half.

Roy, on the other hand, did not only play 29 minutes, but 35 minutes. It can be said that he played a lot of playing time.

It's not that he can't get data because of playing time, but he really can't get data because of ability issues.

Therefore, Roy's data is discounted by half, that is, he averages 7+3 per game.

A second place player averaging 7+3 per game?

This is indeed a bit underwhelming. You have so much time in the summer league, not to mention the explosive statistics like Foye and Marcus Williams, averaging 20 points per game, is it necessary?

In short, after the summer league, Roy's performance made people feel that Jordan really overturned this time.

Even many Boston Celtics stars stood up and dissed Jordan crazily: "Jordan said at the end of the draft that his goal was Roy from beginning to end, hahahaha, we can now organize another one for Jordan in his own language. Opportunity, I believe, now he will definitely not say that his goal has always been Roy, not Adam."

"In my opinion, Adam is the god of this rookie class!"

To be honest, an NCAA scoring champion can effectively win the scoring champion in the NBA summer league. It is difficult for anyone to think that this person is good at it.

In fact, after the summer league, no one thinks that Morrison is good at water, and no one thinks that Roy can be compared with Morrison.

But in this game, Roy's performance made people shine.

In fact, in this game, Roy played Granger for six minutes in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, Roy was not so eye-catching beside Paul and Chen Xiao.

However, this is not eye-catching, which is very rare for rookies.

Because everyone knows that the first game of a rookie is hard not to be "bright".

There will be a lot of strikes and mistakes, and the first game of a rookie will feel like an undercover agent.

But Roy was definitely not undercover in the first quarter.

Played 6 minutes in the first quarter, scored 1 of 1, and scored 2 points.

Although there is no sense of presence, the defensive end has not become the weakness of the opponent's main attack.

In fact, the Spurs played against Roy in the first quarter, and they continued to use coordination and conduction to beat Roy, hoping that Roy would lose his position defensively, but what makes the Spurs very regrettable is that this rookie can make up for it very well on defense. Granger's position.

The Spurs' offense did not explode in the first quarter, and there is a big reason for Roy's seamless replacement of Granger.

In the second quarter, after the absence of Paul and Chen Xiao, Roy's bossy temperament finally showed.

Originally, according to Jordan and Chen Xiao's ideas, Granger was going to be the boss in the second team this season, and this was also to cultivate his team leadership ability and personal strength.

But in this game, he instantly became Roy's younger brother.

I have to say that Roy's style of play on the court is indeed full of gangster style.

Moreover, attacking, passing, controlling, and commanding teammates, every skill and detail of the performance is very well grasped.

Some players, as soon as they play, are like black holes and magnets, automatically making people around them revolve around them, and Roy is such a player.

"Did you guys notice that the way Roy played in the NBA regular season and the way he played in the preseason hasn't even changed at all!"

"It's not just that the game style has not changed, it seems that the data has not changed!"

"I remember that before the start of this game, Mr. Zhang interviewed Roy. How did he feel about the first regular season? Roy said: "The regular season and the preseason are both games, and there should be no difference. "At that time, many people on the Internet said that Roy was pretending to be B, but it turned out that he was not pretending to be B, he was really awesome!"

The performance of most rookies in the preseason really cannot be transplanted to the regular season, and the players who can play the same as the preseason in the regular season are naturally higher than the level of the regular season.

And Roy's game made Chinese audiences and netizens feel that what he said was no longer pretending to be B but a real criticism.

That's of course because Roy performed really well in this game.

The reason why the Bobcats were able to come from behind in this game was to beat the Spurs 115-110 on the road.

It was because of Roy's outstanding performance in this game that he made 10 of 16 shots in 30 minutes. He scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in his first regular season game.

It can be seen from Roy's data that he did not make a single free throw.

It can be seen that the referee took the rookie's disadvantage to the extreme. Under the pressure of the referee, under the strong defense of the Spurs, and in the case of a large number of matchups with Arenas, they can still score 20 points with such high efficiency. Can you not criticize your performance?

So much so that at the end of the game, Chen Xiao hugged Roy excitedly.

“Brandon, many people are surprised by your performance, but I’m not surprised!

You are the man who dares to wear No. 23 on Michael's team! "
