Chapter 359 The Worrying Lynx
Chapter 359 The Worrying Lynx
10 month 31 day.
nba opener.
The Charlotte Bobcats host the Miami Heat.
No one thought of it.
To start the season, it will be White Chocolate dribble turnovers.
Jason Williams is no longer playing tricks.
But he would never think of it.
The game has just begun.
He dribbles the ball over his instep.
"Is this guy full today?"
"Or he is going to play football instead!"
"Pat Riley is for him to ditch those flashy passes."
"Instead of letting him dribble with his feet!"
"It's not like letting him dribble into the opponent's arms."
Barkley's words are still so sharp.
It's just that the Miami fans said that although these words are a bit harsh, they still want to give Barkley a thumbs up.
This simply speaks to their hearts.
The opening game played like this.
Did White Chocolate not practice dribbling even once this summer?
Kicked the ball into jr's arms.
Can you not be so obvious about your undercover status?
Fortunately, Pat Riley, the head coach, was equally angry, but he hadn't lost his mind.
This is a random accident.
And, even if white chocolate is really undercover.
He also doesn't plan to make substitutions just after the game begins.
And soon, Riley's calmness paid off.
White Chocolate's mistakes did not affect the morale of the team.
On the contrary, Riley's calmness was a reassurance to the players.
Wade made 5 of 3 shots.
Scored 6 points, 1 rebounds, and 2 assist.
Williams 3 assists, 1 point.
O'Neal made 8 of 7 shots and raged inside.
Scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist.
Counting other players, the Heat scored 34 points in the first quarter.
Importantly, Milicic and Yi Jianlian of the Bobcats were completely suppressed by the Heat.
Zhou Yao himself hit 2 three-pointers.
But the inside line is suppressed.
The rest of the Bobcats' perimeter performance was mediocre as well.
34: 21.
The Heat took a 13-point lead in the first quarter.
……
"The Bobcats' problem now is that they are suppressed inside."
"Yi Jianlian has never been a player who can force the basket."
"The protection of rebounds is also very poor."
"As for Milicic."
"Yi Jianlian has all the problems he has."
"What's more, in the Pistons, he seems to have been completely given up."
"It's hard to imagine what he has done in the past three years?"
"It's even hard for us to believe that he was the No. 3 pick three years ago."
"You know, he and Wade entered the league in the same year."
"We could even make a less than appropriate assumption."
"If the Pistons had drafted Wade instead of Milicic."
"So the Pistons have won the championship now."
"Besides, we all know that."
"The World Championships just passed."
"Milicic is first in blocks and fourth in rebounds."
"Definitely a shining star."
"But back to the NBA, it feels like even letting him play as a substitute is not qualified."
"I don't know if the Bobcats have any further reinforcement plans."
"But such an insider should still be in the starting lineup."
"It's hard to imagine how far bobcats can travel."
"You know, Haslem, who was active in this game, was a Bobcat player last season."
"And the lack of insiders is not just an insider problem."
"Can't control the rebound."
"It's bound to affect the confidence of outside shooters as well."
"And we all know it."
"With Zhou Yao, jr, and Peja, the Bobcats are the team that relies most on three-pointers in the league."
Everyone knows.
Since retiring, Barkley has been the number one player in the world.
When Zhou Yao was in the Wizards, he played the Wizards.
When Zhou Yao was in the Bobcats, he played for the Bobcats.
But now, even Barkley doesn't seem optimistic about the Bobcats' prospects.
Of course, there was something Barkley didn't say.
That is to let Zhou play center and defend against O'Neal.
In fact, Bobcats often do this before.
But everyone also knows that this is not an existence that can be used as a regular style of play.
Zhou Yao can only show his full strength by staying at the point guard position.
Besides, the Bobcats are weak inside, and not only weak when facing the Heat.
You can't let Zhou Yao play center every game.
……
The second quarter begins.
Lynx seems to have given up treatment.
Point guard Zhou Yao, shooting guard Takuya Kawamura, small forward Tian Lei, power forward Yi Jianlian, and center Xue Yuyang.
Barkley couldn't believe his eyes.
Revisited the Bobcats lineup.
Buckley started yelling in the studio.
"You won't believe what I found!"
"Kenny!"
"It has been said before that the Lone Ranger and the Kings are the teams that like to use international players the most."
"Now look!"
"Obviously Michael is the team owner who is most interested in international players!"
"Look! Look!"
"The Bobcats have 10 players from outside the United States."
"If it counts Mutombo, it's 11 people, more than two-thirds."
"What's even more amazing is that the Bobcats have six players from Asia."
"That puts them at least one Asian player in every position."
"You can even leave one as a substitute."
"Look at it now, aren't all the Bobcats' players on the court coming from Asia?"
Kenny Smith gave Buckley a blank look.
You just found out!
……
The all-Asian lineup is indeed refreshing.
However, the actual effect is not good.
Coach Spo quickly replaced Tian Lei, and then Xue Yuyang.
Just as people speculate who Spoelstra will replace next.
Spoelstra replaced Zhou Yao with Rajon Rondo.
"Did the Bobcats play the opening game as a preseason game?"
Kenny Smith expressed his doubts.
In the nba, the preseason is for the head coach to test the lineup.
Generally speaking, no matter how big-name players are, they still have to play preseason games.
Even Jordan is no exception.
However, Zhou Yao's contract stated that he would not play in the preseason.
And now, this is also a secret known to the entire league.
For Zhou Yao's team, this kind of problem will arise.
Sometimes, the lineup may not be adjusted until after the season starts.
Although, there were no problems with this in the first two seasons.
And now, the problem seems to have arisen.
Although the NBA's regular season is very long, there are 82 games to play.
But in fact, unless enough wins have been established.
Otherwise, there are actually not many games to waste.
Bobcats record in the first two seasons are excellent.
First it was 62 wins and 20 losses, and then it was 61 wins and 21 losses.
After the All-Star Game in the 2004-2005 season, the Bobcats had a very unstable record for a period of time.
It is generally believed that the Bobcats are adjusting the lineup.
But at that time, the Bobcats were no longer worried about the record.
This season, things went wrong from the start.
Can't help but make people sweat for Bobcats...
