Chapter 385 The Storm Is Coming
2007 arrived.
1 month 1 day.
vs. Timberwolves at home.
People seem to have lost interest in the results.
Everyone wants to see it.
What is the level of Novak acquired by the Bobcats in the trade?
Is it because no one else has the vision, or Jordan finally looked away again.
However, Novak did not enter the rotation list.
It seems to be confirming everyone's suspicions.
The Bobcats traded for Novak just to get a real complement of draft picks.
The Timberwolves are having a tough time this season.
Garnett, one of the league's top stars.
They have not made the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
This season, it looks like they still can't make the playoffs.
But, who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?
Garnett didn't create any extraordinary scoring miracles.
The defensive aspect is no different than usual.
However, the Timberwolves won.
The Bobcats suffered their second loss of the season.
However, the record of 29 wins and 2 losses is still the first in the league.
This does not prevent Zhou Yao from becoming the All-Star vote king again.
It is worth noting that.
JR also ranked 5th in the Eastern Conference Stars' guard voting.
In front of him are Zhou Yao, Wade, Arenas, and Carter.
Of course, voting is still ongoing.
The number of votes is also constantly changing.
JR doesn't expect to really become an All-Star starter.
He was already happy just to see his name.
……
After playing against the Timberwolves, I had a few days to rest.
Relatively speaking.
The competition in January will be easier.
Except for the Timberwolves who have already beaten them.
5-day battle with magic.
Play against the Lakers on the 26th.
Fight against the Nuggets on the 29th.
There are still three tough battles to fight.
As for other competitions, it is relatively easy.
Zhou Yao even had time to go to the construction site to see the new arena being built.
By the way, there was a period of time last year when construction workers went on strike.
affected the progress of the project.
It also went through a revision of the drawings.
The Lonnie Arena, which was originally expected to be completed in the summer of 2007, may be delayed for several more months.
In other words, the Bobcats' home court next season will still be the Charlotte Coliseum.
The new arena will not be put into use until after the Olympics.
……
1 month 5 day.
An away game against the Magic.
Howard played well.
Just, for the Bobcats.
The Magic are basically Howard's one-man team.
That's not to say that the rest of the Magic's players are deadbeats.
But compared to the Bobcat.
The Magic's outside perimeter is simply not good enough.
Had a good performance in the last game.
JJ Redick fully expected to be traded to the Bobcats.
The result is just empty joy.
In this game, even Redick's performance was average.
Howard vented all his anger on rebounds.
Grabbed 26 rebounds in a single game.
It can be regarded as dominating the basket.
But I couldn't get the cooperation of other teammates.
It's useless no matter how many rebounds Howard grabs.
Bobcats harvest a victory.
Zhou Yao scored his 15th triple-double this season.
……
After finishing the magic, it was another few days of relaxing moments.
Then visit Detroit on January 1th.
After hitting the championship for several consecutive seasons, the Pistons have now begun to rebuild.
In the past few seasons, the Pistons relied on suffocating defense.
In this game, Detroiters learned what suffocation is.
Zhou Yao made 8 crazy steals in the first quarter.
The Pistons made 15 of 3 shots from the field and only scored 7 points in a single quarter.
For those who don’t know, I thought I was back in the era a few decades ago when there were no 24 seconds.
Zhou Yao only played 2 minutes in the third quarter and clocked out.
3 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 12 steals.
The next day, major media outlets stated that the Pistons were the most spineless team this season.
5 wins and 27 losses.
Even a bad team is nothing more than that.
The problem is, there's no reason for the pistons to break.
Their 2007 first-round pick was traded to the Bobcats early.
The worse the pistons are, the better the Bobcats will be.
What if the Bobcats win the No. [-] pick because of this?
……
1 month 12 day.
Challenge the Knicks away from home.
The Knicks clearly aren't messing up.
However, their record makes it difficult to reach the playoffs.
About this game.
The focus of fans' attention is Steve Novak.
This is his memorable first game since joining the Bobcats.
Although it has not been determined whether there will be an opportunity to appear.
But at least Coach Spoelstra put him in the rotation.
Marbury's offensive in the first quarter was very fierce.
投篮5投4中，三分球3投2中，罚球2罚2中。
Although he plays a little more alone.
Scoring 12 points in a single quarter is not bad.
And the Knicks were lucky in the first quarter.
In other words, Marbury is very lucky.
Several passing passes were actually scored.
25: 31.
The Knicks are actually still in the lead.
……
In the second quarter, Coach Spoelstra arranged a lineup that no one could understand.
Point guard Zhou Yao, shooting guard JR, small forward Peja.
This is normal operation.
Just as starters, JR and Peja seemed to play less time in the first quarter.
Power forward Novak.
Did Spoelstra start reusing Novak so soon?
However, Novak is almost useless in the paint.
Plus center Yi Jianlian.
Are the Bobcats planning to give up rebounding?
Just during the actual fight, the Knicks felt tremendous pressure.
Except for Yi Jianlian and Zhou Yao, everyone else basically operates outside the three-point line.
The space is stretched wide.
This made Zhou Yao's breakthrough suddenly smooth.
Yi Jianlian's long two points are good.
As for the other three, they also have good three-point ability.
The entire second quarter.
The Bobcats made 22 of 14 shots, including 11 of 11 three-pointers.
Although there are very few free throws.
However, the Bobcats still scored 41 points in the second quarter.
The score was instantly reversed.
……
"Is that three-pointer named Novak so strong?"
"5-for-5 three-pointers in a single quarter!"
"With such a performance, even if he only makes three-pointers, he still has a chance to kill the game!"
"It seems that we still have to believe in Jordan's vision!"
Online, some people are already satisfied with Novak's performance.
However, Novak only played less than one quarter of the game when he came to the Bobcats.
There are still many people who are skeptical about him.
"I admit, Novak's performance in this quarter was really good."
"But even the worst players have their eureka moments."
"One game doesn't explain anything."
"Moreover, he is so tall that he can't even interfere with Marbury at all under the basket."
"This defense is really not that bad!"
"He also played a lot of time with the Rockets."
"Why haven't I seen him perform so miraculously?"
"I heard that he also made a lot of three-pointers in college."
"But he is not Zhou Yao."
"Zhou Yao's three-pointers are very strong, but Zhou Yao doesn't only have three-pointers."
Netizens are still talking about it.
The game is still going on.
At this moment.
No one could have imagined that a storm was quietly approaching...
