I’m Really Playing Basketball

115 to 110, the Bobcats defeated the strong rival Spurs on the road in the first game of the new season and got off to a good start.

During the game, Bobcats head coach Jordan abandoned last season's crazy reliance on Chen Xiao's style of play, and instead asked Chris Paul to organize the team to play team tactics, which made everyone who watched the game shine.

What is even more eye-catching is of course that Roy, who made his debut as a rookie, scored 20 points efficiently in his first game.

In addition to Roy, Aldridge, who also made his career debut, played 24 minutes, made 4 of 6, 1 of 1 free throw, 9 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block. His performance was also quite good. Just compared with Roy, it seems a little ordinary.

In addition, Danny Gibson played 3 minutes, made 0 of 1 shots, and scored 0 points.

In addition to these three Bobcats rookie players, Chen Xiao, who has been held by Bowen throughout this game, and who spent most of the time with Bowen squatting and smoking at the three-point line, shot 11 of 14, three-pointers. He made 3 of 5 field goals and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. His efficiency was extremely high.

As for the team's main point and tactical core in this game, Xiaopao made 7 of 14, scoring 16 points and 13 assists in the game.

As for Randolph, he made 8 of 18 in this game and 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 23 points.

Granger was 7 of 14, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 17 points.

Most of the Bobcats players played well in this game, but Bynum was a little bit worse. He played 21 minutes in this game, made 0 of 4, and scored 1 point, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The main reason why the data is so ugly is that when the Spurs were defending Paul and Bynum's pick-and-roll, they were left open after Bynum's pick-and-roll. The Spurs did not let Howard switch defenses to help defend, and Howard stayed with Bynum.

When the Bobcats don't arrange post-up tactics for Bynum, letting him rely on his physical talents to grab a second offense or catch and shoot is really not a good way to beat Howard.

In fact, historically, Bynum's post-up play was not that strong when he was at his peak, and his shooting was not that stable, so when he met Howard, Bynum always suffered a lot.

However, although Bynum's statistics in this game are not good, his role is still very important. As a small shark, his body is wide enough, fast enough, and athletic enough. It can be said that he is the destiny pick-and-roller of the small cannon. .

It's his foul problem that needs to be controlled. He committed five fouls in 21 minutes.

But what is a little comforting is that although he only played 21 minutes in this game and got five fouls, he also fouled Howard five times, and Howard only played 36 minutes in this game.

Why can Bynum get Howard out of foul trouble?

The main reason is that Bynum's body is strong enough and his confrontational ability is good enough. It is difficult to hold Howard in his arms. In addition, he is a young rookie, and his defensive and offensive movements are a bit big, which can easily arouse Howard's anger. When Howard gets angry, his movements will become bigger, and naturally he will commit more fouls.

To put it simply, it is to bring Howard to the same level, and then use his rich experience to die with Howard.

Howard was in pretty good shape in this game. He made 9 of 14 free throws and 7 of 10 free throws, scoring 25 points. It can be seen from these free throws that Howard was an atypical Howard in this game.

If Bynum hadn't given Howard a lot of fouls to limit his time, the Bobcats would not have won so easily.

And this is also the benefit of having a big center on the team.

Regardless of whether this big center is returning the food, with him, he can fight against the opponent's powerful center and consume the opponent.

If the Bobcats' center was Chen Xiao, Howard would definitely not have committed five fouls in 36 minutes. Howard would have been sent off after 36 minutes of the game.

Well, this seems to be Versailles?

Well, in short, even if Bynum's statistics in this game are not very good, he has such a big role in the game, which makes Bobcats head coach Jordan very happy.

After the game, Jordan even said directly: "I will be happy because I have a group of outstanding young players. This is the credit of this group of young players. I will not say that they were all selected by me. Even without me, they will be in other places." The team will also perform well, so the credit is not mine, it is theirs, and I am lucky to have them!"

Afterwards, Jordan happily added: "It's like I'm very lucky to have Chen."

I have to say that what Jordan said is really level.

Players can thrive on other teams without him.

So, it's not that the players were lucky enough to be selected by me, but I was lucky enough to select a group of good players.

This not only praises the players, but also praises himself, so even if Jordan does not take credit for it, Jordan's talent in the draft vision cannot be ignored.

After today's game, most of the rookies have already made their debuts. There is no doubt that Roy's debut is the most successful among the rookies this year.

Facing two super perimeter players like Arenas and Ron Howard, being able to produce this kind of data doesn't even mean he's at a disadvantage when playing one-on-one with Arenas. This is amazing.

Compared with Roy's magical debut, this year's No. 1 pick Adam Morris, who has always been compared with Roy, also made his debut with the Celtics, hitting 5 of 13 and 3 of 3-pointers. 1. Made 3 of 3 free throws and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in 31 minutes.

Not to brag, this debut was actually very good.

But, isn’t this just because of the fear of comparison?

Not to mention Roy in this game, not even his teammate Gay.

Gay was originally Morrison's little Pippen in the eyes of Celtics fans, but this little Pippen stole the spotlight in his first show.

In the game, he made 8 of 21 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 21 points in the game, plus 8 rebounds, 1 steal, and 4 blocks.

This data is indeed very Pippen.

But what makes Celtic fans a little embarrassed is that Pippen Jr. in this game is very Pippen, and Bird Jr. is not that Bird.

In short, after all the games played today, Roy became famous.

Not only became famous in China, but also became famous in the United States.

At the press conference after the game, Roy became the focus of reporters across the United States.

In a team with Chen Xiao and Jordan, the popularity is quite high, so the players beside Chen Xiao and Jordan are indeed very easy to become famous.

What's more, Roy became famous in this game not because of his statistics, but because of the calmness and temperament he showed in the game.

Let's put it this way, in terms of temperament, except for Chen Xiao, Xiaopao is not as strong as Roy. In terms of temperament, Roy is really good at it.

Such players, fans and media circles have a special word to describe them, that is: "This kid looks like a superstar at first glance!"

As the No. 45 high school student in the United States in 2002, Roy is not an unknown person. In fact, he has always been a well-known talent in the United States.

It's just that as a high school student in the class of 2002, he was not as dazzling as Stoudemire, the top high school student in the country, and Anthony, the second high school student in the country. There were still many talents in the high school class of 2002 in the United States. For example, the one who ranked 48th that year is now the Bulls. Point guard Deron Williams.

The forty-sixth is Bobcats backup point guard Jarrett Jack.

Originally, after graduating from high school in 2002, Roy was going to participate in the draft, but unfortunately, his knee was injured later.

Since then, he has been removed from the list of geniuses and fallen.

Deron, who was not as good as him back then, was already the No. 1 pick last year.

And this year, in this super young year of the draft, he was the second pick, and he was sprayed by a bunch of people for being unworthy.

And after this first show, it basically announced the return of the genius.

I have to say that Americans really like this kind of drama about the return of heroes.

Ordinary rookies, faced with such a situation, would definitely brag about it.

Even if you don't brag about yourself, you will definitely say something quite arrogant and coquettish.

But Roy is really different from most young people in the United States.

"I have never doubted my own strength. I know what level of player I am. Michael and Chen Xiao gave me many opportunities in this game. I will not say that I can seize such opportunities every time. But I have the strength to grasp the opportunity, and it is my honor to be able to play for a team with Michael and Chen Xiao."

"Branton, after this game, what do you expect from your future role with the Bobcats?"

"My future role on the team will not be obtained through one game. I performed very well in this game, but Chen and Chris, Daniel and Zach, they can perform like this in every game. I The outburst is equivalent to their usual. I am now the team's substitute, and this is my role. I will work hard to make myself look like a qualified substitute.

And, no matter where you are or what your role is, it's your job as a professional to win and win championships for your team. "

Chen Xiao admitted that after attending the first press conference with Roy, he had a greater appreciation for this little brother who seemed to be loyal and honest, but in fact may actually be loyal and honest.

Chen Xiao likes Roy, a capable and low-key player very much.

So, after the press conference after the game, Chen Xiao intentionally kept Roy.

"Brandon, let me cum again!"

"..."

Roy felt that his boss was quite strange, and always so strange!

Chen Xiao, who asked Roy to stand on the wall and let him shoot, had a look of surprise on his face after shooting Roy.

Six months ago, when he participated in the draft, Roy's strength was B+.

But in just half a year, Roy's strength has already reached A-!

This really surprised Chen Xiao.

When Chen Xiao selected Roy, he was already prepared that Roy would only have B+ strength throughout his life.

Therefore, Chen Xiao has always tested and cultivated the strength of Granger and other players, and has always been free to Roy.

Because Roy is really not suitable for devil training with him.

Roy has injured both knees. During his usual training with the team, Jordan also specially developed a special training plan for him focusing on recovery and cultivation.

For a player who is almost "mutilated" with two legs, expecting him to improve in strength is a crime against Roy.

But now this amazing discovery was revealed to Chen Xiao.

"He still has potential!"

A player who has injured both legs and knees still has the potential to move forward!

Since Roy can improve into an A-player, can we also expect Roy to become an A-level player?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao shook his head in his heart.

If Roy really becomes a recognized All-Star (A-level) player despite losing both legs, what is Roy's potential if he doesn't lose both legs?

Chen Xiao felt that he would be very sorry.

This is definitely a loss for basketball.

Of course, even if Roy really stops at A- in the future, Chen Xiao will applaud Roy.

What kind of perseverance allowed him to reach this point faster than other geniuses.

He was obviously injured so badly, but he still walked faster than others. Maybe because of the injury, he couldn't walk as far as others, but it was still enough.

After confirming that Roy really has A-level ability, the Bobcats will have their fifth A-level player.

Chen Xiao is S- and Chris Paul is A. This is Xiaopao's third season. Xiaopao was successfully promoted to an A-level player at the beginning of this season.

Zach Randolph is A-. Although Randolph is A-, he is also a very special A-. Because of his special physical condition, in some games and against certain opponents, he On the offensive end, he can perform as well as or even surpass A-level players.

Randolph is that kind of character whose abilities may seem average, but are particularly useful if you add some.

Granger is the Bobcats' fourth A-.

This former B-level player in the draft successfully became a star-level player after more than a year of Jordan's countless experience cards and Jordan's close teaching like his own son.

To be honest, with the resources Granger enjoys, his growth cannot be said to be slow, but it is definitely not fast.

It can only be said that Granger is talented, but his talent is not that high.

However, for the Bobcats, how can they expect everyone to be players like Chen Xiao or Kobe?

As the team's fourth leader, A- is enough. What's more, even if Granger's potential is limited, it is only limited compared to Kobe, Garnett, Maddie, Iverson, Carter and others. After all, Granger is also a person who has the opportunity to grow. A player who is an A-level player.

The breakthrough from A- to A-level requires your own understanding and command. The role of experience card and Jordan's words and deeds is no longer important.

Even Luo Ge, who is most suitable for Chen Xiao's experience card, only achieved his breakthrough with the Spurs after he found the right way to play with the help of Popovich.

In short, Chen Xiao is very satisfied with the team's current lineup.

Although Chen Xiao knows that the Magic are in his mind the strongest NBA team in history so far.

But Chen Xiao felt that he and his Bobcats did not have no chance at all.

Let’s put it this way, five A-level players on one team.

Even his Nets and Cavaliers had never had this before.

There is no doubt that this is the strongest team he has ever played in.

It's just that head coach Jordan lacks some standards.

However, as the greatest player in history, Jordan's contribution to team morale is unmatched by other NBA coaches.

In the first game of the season, the Bobcats defeated last season's finals team, the Spurs, which surprised everyone across the country.

The surprise from the Bobcats combined with the surprise from Roy was really even better.

"This season, you can give the Bobcats more to look forward to."

Chen Xiao's words at the post-game press conference instantly became a hot topic throughout the NBA.

"The Wonder Boy is really not afraid of being slapped in the face. He is really not afraid of being slapped in the face if our expectations are not met!"

"If the Wonder Boy is afraid of being slapped in the face, he is no longer a Wonder Boy!"

After the game against the Spurs, Chen Xiao pretended to be a big B, and soon, the entire NBA felt why Chen Xiao pretended to be such a big B.

On November 2, 2006, the Bobcats played back-to-back away games against the Hornets. Peja, who was new to the Hornets in this game, had an explosive performance. He made 15 of 22 shots in the game, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored efficiently. scored 42 points.

In this game, Hornets boss Boozer also shot 10 of 18 from the outside for Randolph, who couldn't take care of himself, so he scored 28 points.

The two big brothers of the Hornets scored 70 points together. With such an explosive performance, they still couldn't stop the Bobcats.

The Bobcats played an extremely beautiful offensive battle in back-to-back away games, and finally defeated the Hornets 125-114 on the road.

After this game ended, the entire NBA was stunned.

You know, the Bobcats were most afraid of playing back-to-back away games like this last season.

Basically, the Bobcats have never won such a game. Regardless of the strength of the opponent, with Peja and Boozer so popular, the Bobcats would definitely lose last season.

But now, the Bobcats have won!

"The Bobcats this season are much more stable than last season!"

"Stability is a must for a team that wants to achieve results!"

"No wonder Boy Wonder has such great expectations for the Bobcats this season!"

Lou Williams and Monta Alice and Bulla switched Roy, Aldridge and Daniel Gibson. This transaction not only brought Roy, a quasi-All-Star star player with A-level strength to the Bobcats.

At the same time, it also brings very strong stability to the Bobcats.

The explosion of Louis Williams and Monta Alice even allowed the Bobcats to win the Heat last season.

But obviously, if there are too many players like this who play one game and two games in one team, it will indeed affect the stability of the team.

Therefore, the Bobcats basically never won back-to-back away games last season.

And this season, the Bobcats came up with three consecutive visitors in the Southwest Division.

This is an absolute devil's schedule for the Bobcats last season.

But the Bobcats completed three consecutive victories as soon as they came up.

And it's not a chance to win. In the three games, the Bobcats have won quite steadily.
