Coach, I don't want to retire yet
Chapter 518: Complete victory and championship?
Chapter 518: Complete victory and championship?
After defeating the Knicks on the road to get their 11th consecutive victory of the season, the Bobcats return home and will start the first consecutive home schedule of the season.
Starting from the back-to-back home games against the Nets on November 11, they faced the 18ers, Kings, Wizards, Cavaliers, Bucks, and Warriors. This was a wave of seven consecutive home games.
Opponents include underdogs like the Nets, 76ers, Kings, Wizards, and Bucks, as well as super strong teams like the Cavaliers and Warriors.
What Du Kang said at the post-game press conference with the Knicks had a lot of impact. Duncan and O'Neal started separately this season, and both of them performed very well this season.
Generally speaking, there is no conflict between the two's playing time.
In the eyes of many Bobcats fans, there was no problem with O'Neal starting in the opening game against the Lakers, and in the home game against the Celtics, with Duncan starting.
I can't give you O'Neal everything.
In fact, even O'Neal himself feels that there is something wrong with the New York media's provoking trouble. He is very happy when he comes back with the Bobcats this season. In the Celtics, where everyone is evil, he can turn into a villain, and now everyone is good. Bobcat, he is also one of the best people in the world and a good teammate.
You guys are hyping up the problems between him and Duncan, aren't you doing this on purpose?
Then, O'Neal felt in back-to-back games against the Nets at home that someone was deliberately messing with him.
In fact, after the game, O'Neal himself was very embarrassed.
Rondo was like this when he was with the Celtics, and he is like this now with Bobcat Parker.
And the connection was very stable, and the dunk was very violent, which made the Nets players feel numb.
As the most watched team in the NBA this season, the Bobcats are bound to have such problems.
His performance has been consistently good this season, but he has never been as strong as he was in this game.
Even if there is no misunderstanding, others will deliberately misunderstand.
Kanaan's three-point shooting attribute is as high as 97. After so many years in the Lakers, Du Kang has cultivated all his three-point and shooting skills to at least the silver level.
He can average 35 minutes per game, average 25.2 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 45%. Maybe the average data and three-point shooting percentage per game may drop at the end of the season, but with Du Kang against Ka Knowing Nan, there shouldn’t be many declines.
Coupled with good ball holding, ball control and athletic ability, Kanaan's ability value was 89 when Du Kang left the Lakers.
Many things are true and false, and it is difficult for the players involved to distinguish the truth from the false.
After playing the Nets at home and having a day off, the Bobcats will face the 76ers led by Isaiah Kanaan and Covington at home.
……
This can be misleading.
Don’t you little point guard brats have any other skills?
Why do everyone pass me alley balls like this when they are messing with me?
If we want to say that the four players with the strongest three-point shooting in the league now, there must be the Curry brothers and Koko. Then the remaining one is either Klay Thompson or Kanan.
Parker was deliberately causing trouble, but in the end O'Neal blocked all the problems.
In those days of the Lakers, players who could often come off the bench to save the team were no joke.
"Shaq, are you no longer satisfied with your playing time in the Bobcats? I heard that the New York Knicks are interested in you and want to trade you to the Knicks. What do you think of this?"
Five of the four strongest three-pointers have no problem.
However, the difference is that this time with the Bobcats, O'Neal can catch it!
Parker's behavior on the court made him laugh. He was really amused.
On the contrary, Duncan, as the person involved, had no thoughts after this game and remained calm and composed.
During the game against the Nets, Bobcats point guard Parker frantically passed him lobs.
In the end, Parker was originally going to challenge O'Neal in this game, but in the end, O'Neal turned it into a one-man show.
These media are creating a void opponent for O'Neal, based on Kobe's character and appearance, but now, this person is actually Duncan, Tim Duncan.
He doesn't seem to care at all about the starting battle between him and O'Neal that is suddenly being hyped across the United States.
The 76ers performed quite well this season, mainly because the two top players Kanan and Covington that the 76ers hired from the Lakers at a high price performed very well.
If he really exerts his full output and uses his wireless firepower, he may be able to average 30 points per game. Of course, the shooting rate will definitely not be that stable, and the performance will definitely be a ghost.
"The New York Knicks are a great team, I love New York, I love the New York Knicks, but I am a Bobcat player now, and when I leave the Bobcats, I will choose to retire, thank you."
Although many years have passed since the incident between him and Kobe, and the love and hatred between the two cannot be changed, it is certain that at least most of the conflict between him and Kobe was fueled by the media.
"As for my playing time in the Bobcats, it was determined by the coach based on my physical condition. I am very satisfied with my playing time. I can feel how much oil my body has. The coach knows even better than me. That's why there's no problem between us."
Therefore, O'Neal didn't take it seriously at all.
Therefore, after the game, Parker couldn't hide his unhappiness.
Kanaan had always played as a substitute for the Lakers before, but this season he became the head player of the 76ers. His average playing time per game has more than doubled, and his statistics have also more than doubled.
However, if the target was Duncan, he would definitely not be fooled a second time.
The O'Neal in this game is very unfamiliar to Parker. Even Parker feels that the current O'Neal may be, somewhat, better than Tim.
Whether it is him or Kobe, it is difficult to make rational judgments when exposed.
Because there is a system that can simulate the game and predict the player's feel and status in the game in advance, Du Kang's favorite is the crazy knife like Kanan and Westbrook.
"Shaq, are you showing your strength to Coach D in this game? Do you want Coach D to know who is the strongest center in this Bobcat?"
Such an offensive-minded player who averages 25 points per game and hits 4.5 three-pointers per game is nothing. Others think that Kanaan exploded with the 76ers, but in fact Du Kang can see that Kanaan is with the 76ers. It's still in the holding stage now.
"I don't need to show you how strong Tim and I are. We are both one of the strongest insiders in the NBA. The competition between us is very healthy. The coach also knows this. My teammates, we all know this. "
In the hands of others, the nerve knife is just a nerve knife, which can sometimes become a god or a god. But in Du Kang's hands, the nerve knife is a god.
Compared with Kanan, Covington's performance this season is of course very good. After all, he is also a quasi-star, with first-line All-Star level strength, but Covington is a 3D player. When Du Kang was training Covington with the Lakers, he was also a 3D player. He was trained to be a top D player and a low-level substitute for Ebanks.
Covington's ability value is also very high, but his independent offensive ability is somewhat lacking. However, his three-point attributes and various defense-related attributes have reached 90.
Coupled with the top defensive skills learned from his friend Antetokounmpo, Covington's defensive skills are also impressive.
而且身高2米06的他,真的是能内能外,这个赛季可以场均上场35分钟,场均拿到17分7.5个篮板2.5个助攻2.3个抢断1.8个盖帽,其中场均可以命中3.5个三分,三分球命中率高达42.5%。
In addition to attacking with the ball, organizing and playing in isolation, Covington is simply perfect, the perfect role player in the coach's mind.
Iverson is the 76ers' No. favorite this season, nicknamed "The Answer to the Answer."
As long as there is a problem anywhere on the 76ers' court, it is right to leave it to Covington. He will be the 76ers' answer on the court this season.
The strength and combat effectiveness shown by Covington and Canaan after leaving Du Kang and the Lakers shocked many experts and fans in the NBA to the point of jaw-dropping.
Whether it's Covington or Kanan, their status on the Lakers team back then was actually not that high.
In this way, they left Coach D and the Lakers and achieved great things.
So what about Ebanks, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, McAway and others who are stronger than these two?
In fact, the players who left the Lakers and Coach D this season include Wade, Curry Jr., Garnett, and Pierce.
Pierce also performs very well with the Clippers, averaging 21 points per game in various singles, as if he has returned to his peak. He can even play 31 minutes in a game now, and he is still at a high level.
And Garnett, this is even more terrifying. Garnett can average 35 minutes per game in the Timberwolves, averaging 15 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.
Whether it was the performance of Pierce or Garnett, Celtics fans were filled with regrets. Danny Ainge was so stupid!
When Pierce and Garnett left the Nets to return to the Celtics, Danny Ainge was sick and refused to return.
Even without Coach D's re-training, these two people are not that strong, but at least they are enough, and they must be very useful!
The relationship between everyone is so cold now. When the two of them wanted to leave the Lakers, neither of them chose the Celtics. One chose to return to the Timberwolves, and the other chose to find his old mentor Rivers. Both of them regarded the Celtics as nothing.
This can't be blamed on Pierce and Garnett. The shitty thing Danny Ainge did back then will not be forgiven by anyone.
If Garnett and Pierce want the Celtics to retire their jerseys, they will give the Celtics face.
After all, the Celtics are asking for their jerseys to be retired.
And now?
Coach D said that if the Celtics did not retire the jerseys of Garnett and Pierce, he would not hesitate to hang the jerseys of Garnett and Pierce in Los Angeles and blame Staples.
When the Timberwolves welcomed Garnett back, they also promised to retire Garnett's jersey.
After acquiring Pierce, Clippers head coach and general manager Doc Reeves also promised that Pierce would retire with the Clippers and that Pierce's jersey would be retired with the Clippers.
Garnett and Pierce had such a commitment, and they never thought about bowing to the Celtics.
Among the players who left the Lakers and Du Kang this season, the best performers are definitely Wade and Curry.
Wade is because Jordan and Kobe are back. He wants to compete with Kobe and Jordan. In addition, Wade is very excited to return to the Heat. This season he can average 27 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals per game with the Heat. , the hit rate is as high as 55%.
Even Wade, who is so excited and has such excellent statistics, is not even serious when playing against other teams except when playing the Lakers and Bobcats. With his superior strength, he is worthy of being the double MVP last season.
There is also Seth Curry of the New York Knicks. In the Lakers, Seth Curry's statistics are very good. Coach D supports him to take unlimited shots. As long as he wants, he can even take 20 three-pointers in a game. many.
But due to various reasons such as low self-esteem, Seth Curry has actually been holding back in the Lakers.
It wasn't until the most critical moment of the finals tiebreaker that he completely turned on his switch.
After leaving the Lakers and joining his brother Curry's dream team, the New York Knicks, Seth Curry completely let go of himself.
Moreover, New York Knicks fans, the city of New York is indeed very suitable for the wonderful acrobatic basketball of the Curry brothers.
It doesn’t matter if you get in or not, it’s exciting to watch!
Excitement is enough, but watching Seth Curry play is really exciting!
Once he's accurate, he can make three-pointers from the center circle.
Therefore, Seth Curry came to New York and played less than 20 games, and he completely conquered the New York fans.
This made Anthony, the former boss of the New York team, feel very uncomfortable.
Anthony just broke up with Phil Jackson last season and got rid of Phil Jackson. This season, he needs to prove that the team made the right decision to choose him instead of Phil Jackson.
Then, a player like Seth Curry came, and he has now directly become the team's second-in-command.
He can't even compete.
Seth Curry's three-point shooting performance gave him no chance to compete. He directly conquered the New York Knicks fans in the first game.
Seth Curry has averaged 33.5 points per game with the New York Knicks so far this season. He is currently the top scoring player in the NBA and the temporary scoring champion.
At the end of the season, Seth Curry doesn’t know if he can continue to lead the scoring list, but so far, Seth Curry is one of the most watched stars in the NBA.
Fake basketball is always eye-catching. Last season, Seth Curry was the favorite for MVP. He was a first-team player and a championship player. He already had extremely high popularity. After coming to New York, Seth Curry really improved in popularity after conquering New York. Another level up.
The players who left this season, plus the players such as Yi Jianlian and Oden who left before, and the players who left Coach D, almost all have not fallen.
It’s really filled with stars.
Generally speaking, if there are stars everywhere, the head coach will definitely suffer some bad effects on his reputation. After all, others will say, what does the reputation of the players have to do with you, the head coach?
However, it seems completely different with Coach D.
No one thinks that these people are still very naughty after leaving, and they think that Coach D is not good. On the contrary, the more naughty they behave outside, the more NBA players want to work hard for Coach D, and the more those expert media lament that Coach D is not good enough. ability.
Because everyone can clearly see what these people looked like when they went to the Lakers to find Coach D. Many of them have actually completely fallen. Without Coach D, they are all ready to leave the NBA. Many people have stayed away from the NBA.
For example, Beasley is with the Bobcats this season.
Beasley is one of the Bobcats' best players this season, but he really doesn't have Coach D to save him and will leave the NBA directly.
Such a group of players were forcibly raised to such a height by Coach D. As long as their hearts are not completely black and their eyes are not completely blind, they can all see how powerful Coach D is.
By the way, 76ers rookie Devin Booker also performed very well this season.
In order to get Myles Turner, the Bobcats used their No. 9 pick to select Devin Booker and sent Devin Booker to the 76ers.
Originally, the 76ers were already prepared, but this deal was in vain. They were not optimistic about Devin Booker's future, so they thought this deal was to repay Coach D's favor for sending Iverson back to the 76ers for free.
Unexpectedly!
The 76ers' management was stunned.
Iverson took Devin Booker and a group of young players from the 76ers to train with Coach D for more than a month. After coming back, there were really earth-shaking changes.
This made Embiid, who was injured again and was unable to go to coach D to learn, heartbroken.
He has not played a game with the 76ers yet.
And Devin Booker has already emerged with the 76ers.
As Kanaan's partner, shooting guard Devin Booker, who assumes 3D tasks and is the second ball-handling point for the team, currently averages 14 points, 4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and his shooting percentage is only 42% per game. The shooting percentage from the field was only 34% per game, and he averaged more than 3 fouls per game. However, considering that he is a rookie and an undervalued rookie, this performance has far exceeded expectations.
You know, among all the rookies in this year's draft, those who performed better and scored higher than Devin Booker, the Bulls' Towns, Okafor, and Porzingis all scored around 14 points. And the No. pick Russell and the former No. pick Mudiay have even lower scoring averages than Devin Booker.
It's hard to say what Devin Booker's future will be like. His current performance is completely worthy of the draft pick that the 76ers traded to the Bobcats.
On the contrary, Myles Turner was traded to the Bobcats. His current performance is still unknown, mainly because Turner has not received a good opportunity in the Bobcats.
Before the game between the 76ers and Bobcats started, as the head coach of the 76ers, Iverson became the protagonist before the game started.
Iverson and Dukan have a very familiar relationship with these Bobcats players.
Coupled with the relationship between Kanaan and Covington, this game can be said to be full of human touch.
The spectators nearby could tell at a glance that this was a very friendly competition.
However, the Charlotte fans at the scene were still very enthusiastic. Even Iverson was shocked by the enthusiasm of the Charlotte fans.
"Coach, this is the first time I've seen fans here in Charlotte have such enthusiasm for the NBA!"
Charlotte and North Carolina are not basketball deserts, just NBA deserts.
Therefore, NBA teams that have played games here before will feel that the fans here lack enthusiasm for them. There is nothing they can do about it. After all, they have no enthusiasm for their own teams, the Bobcats and Hornets.
But this time, it's really different.
Ever since he got off the plane, Iverson could feel the difference along the way.
But now after arriving at the game site, this feeling is even more obvious.
As someone who has been in the NBA for so many years, I have never seen Charlotte fans look like this.
Thinking of some of the news and information he heard in Philadelphia, Iverson instantly felt that it was probably true.
It has been reported in the news that NCAA fans from many parts of the United States are now rushing to Charlotte because this team has Hill, Jordan and other popular players in the NCAA.
And more importantly, the playing style of these people is very similar to that of when they were young, which is very reminiscent of people.
Also, the Bobcats' games are very good to watch. After watching the NCAA fans, they feel a little bit helpless. In addition, the NCAA's own games are becoming more and more unsightly, and the NCAA stars are becoming more and more dissatisfied with the fans. Due to the distance, NCAA fans feel that their stars are using their team as a tool, coming here to be gold-plated for a year and then go to the NBA.
Compared to these players who don't take themselves seriously.
Jordan, Hill, Kidd, O'Neal, Duncan, these are my favorites in the past, and they are still working hard to please themselves. Isn't this better than watching those NCAA teams and players?
And, perhaps most importantly, the Bobcats' buzz is really high.
Watching a Bobcats game has become a tool for showing off among friends. With the American people’s love of watching fun, coming to Charlotte to watch a Bobcats game is definitely something worth bragging about for a year.
Moreover, every Bobcats game will give you a different plot, a different touch, and a different feeling, which can perfectly capture the appetite of NCAA fans.
For example, the pre-game bulletin issued by the Bobcats this time mainly introduced the deal between Devin Booker and Myles Turner.
Fans who read the game report can easily form a confrontation between Devin Booker and Turner.
Devin Booker's outstanding performance means that Turner is not good, it means that Coach D has made a loss-making deal, and it means that Coach D is about to be hacked again, and is already being hacked.
Such a game publication can allow fans to subconsciously focus on the two role players of Devin Booker and Turner.
They will even expect that the Bobcats can let Turner start this game and let him compare with Devin Booker.
Then, they suddenly discovered that Myles Turner really started in this game!
In this game between the Bobcats and the 76ers, the Bobcats' starting lineup is center Thabeet, forward Myles Turner, forward Duncan, shooting guard Michael Jordan, and point guard Jason Kidd.
Most of the fans at the scene came to see Jordan.
Therefore, most fans were not disappointed when Jordan started.
Then, there was the showdown between Turner and Devin Booker that was highlighted in the pre-game press release as dessert, which instantly gave the fans at the scene a sense of involvement and anticipation.
But for many experts and media at the scene, Du Kang's deployment of the Bobcats was a bit shocking.
The 76ers are still adjusting. It is true that the record is not that good, but the strength of the 76ers' players is not weak, and they are considered to be a playoff-level team in the Eastern Conference.
Moreover, the 76ers are now running in very well and are on the track to win.
Facing such an opponent, the Bobcats actually rotated so much.
If Jordan and Duncan are considered regular starters, then the remaining three, Thabeet, Turner and Kidd, cannot be considered starters. Even Kidd has not started again this season.
This season, the Bobcats have three veterans who use the dream return card, O'Neal, Hill and Kidd.
Kidd is the weakest after using the Dream Back to Peak card.
O'Neal and Hill still have unfinished business in the NBA. Their numbers are very beautiful and their strength is very strong. They are truly top-level super giants. And Kidd...can't be said to be weak, but compared to the super giants O'Neal and Hill, they are just Kidd, who has just become a superstar, is indeed average, and compared with O'Neal Hill, Kidd has not reached the peak of all attributes, but his ability value has reached the peak, and various sub-attributes are not that outstanding.
O'Neal and Hill can show strength beyond their abilities, but Kidd... can barely reach his abilities.
And because the fighting spirit is average, it is difficult to last.
In addition, Rose and Parker are indeed very useful this season, and Beasley and Jordan can organize. Du Kang's use of Kidd is actually not used much.
But in this game, Du Kang still chose to let Kidd start, not for anything else but for the opposite coach Shi Iverson.
Iverson and Kidd are definitely lifelong enemies.
If Kidd is Kezi's lifelong enemy, then Iverson is Kidd's lifelong enemy.
The relationship between Kidd, Kobe and Iverson is really a living and breathing process, with human beings having different joys and sorrows.
Kobe was often frustrated when he met Kidd, and Kidd was also frustrated when he met Iverson.
It doesn't matter, Kidd and Iverson can be regarded as a pair of old enemies.
They were old enemies when they were players, and now that they are coaches, the two will still become old enemies.
Iverson is Coach D's big disciple.
And he, Kidd, is a close disciple of Mayfair Jackson.
Kidd hasn't come out to coach yet, but he has indeed regarded Iverson as his opponent.
Therefore, before today's game, Kidd's mood showed a long-lost enthusiasm and purpose.
Boss Ji wants to play now, and Du Kang will certainly not stop him.
Therefore, Kidd started.
Although experts and public opinion are questioning it, as the starting players, in addition to Jordan, the other four players, whether they are Kidd, Thabeet or Turner, the mood and emotions of this game are very exciting.
The current Bobcats, after being strengthened by Du Kang's four enhanced training camps, basically everyone has a certain strength.
Even team water cooler managers like Turner and Thabeet already have a certain level of strength. In some weak teams or ordinary teams, they can even be the starter.
Although they are very ordinary and not outstanding within the Bobcats, opportunities need to be given to them.
After all, his world is not just about the Bobcats training camp. They usually go to other places to play basketball. They can also feel that they have become stronger after being promoted by Coach D.
They also need to be eager to perform.
Du Kang wants the Bobcats to maintain harmony within the team, and he must allow every player here to meet their own needs as much as possible.
At this point, other NBA head coaches may have a hard time. No one can read minds, so how can they know what the players are thinking.
But for Du Kang, it is relatively easier. Du Kang cannot read minds, but he can use the system to monitor the players' moods.
Knowing what kind of games a player wants to start can satisfy them to the greatest extent.
In this way, Du Kang can arrange each player's playing time very reasonably.
Therefore, since the start of the season, although people within the Bobcats have been constantly sowing dissension from outside. The forces of the NCAA and other forces are frantically sowing dissension and trying to mess up the Bobcats, but the Bobcats are still as solid as a rock internally. .
Even Parker, who has been messing with O'Neal recently, is just messing with O'Neal. Parker is still loyal to the team and does not want to leave.
Parker wants to win the MVP this season, but now he only looks to outsiders and has not given up. Even Duncan and Manu have not seen Parker's true intentions.
Parker still looks full of desire and expectation for MVP on the outside.
But in fact, he already knows in his heart that this season's MVP is getting further and further away from him.
The team is too strong and his teammates are too strong. It is difficult for him to become the team's first overall representative.
Therefore, his first thought and desire now is not to become MVP, but to beat up Leonard, his former teammate who is now with the Raptors.
Beat Leonard hard.
As long as he lets Parker be the team's first core, first ball player, and first shot player in the game against the Raptors, Parker will be very, very satisfied.
In other teams, he may not be able to get the opportunity to beat the Raptors. The Raptors are not weak.
In the Bobcats, he could beat the Raptors and Leonard at least four times a season.
In the playoffs, if the Raptors enter the playoffs, he can beat four times.
How cool it is to catch Leonard and beat him eight times in one season.
Parker felt very incredible just thinking about it.
Therefore, for Parker, in a game like the 76ers, he does not need to play. He can wear a suit and watch his teammates perform on the court.
Because Parker has started to cause trouble recently, and Parker is surrounded by Duncan and Ginobili.
Therefore, several of Du Kang's assistants are quite scared. The tone that Shanmao is holding is great. It would be a pity if it breaks down due to internal strife.
But Du Kang never wanted to solve it, he just watched with a smile.
The Bobcats' starters in this game are unfamiliar, and their coordination with each other is not that skillful.
Because Jordan usually doesn't attack from the front, the main attack in the first quarter was even handed over to Duncan. Kidd couldn't be the main attacker, and Myles Turner and Thabeet didn't dare to attack from the beginning, leaving Duncan, Jordan and Kidd gave himself a hand.
How dare they.
Therefore, the Bobcats' offense was a little tight at first.
On the contrary, the 76ers' offense was very fast.
In this game, the 76ers started with center Chris Wood, power forward Covington, small forward Jerami Grant, shooting guard Devin Booker, and point guard Canaan.
Chris Wood is this year's undrafted player. He is a 2 meter offensive insider who is good at shooting, running and jumping.
Grant and Covington are very good defenders. They are both versatile 3D forwards who can defend inside and outside.
This lineup of the 76ers clearly shows what Iverson wants to do.
That is to maximize the space for Kanan, and then use the space to allow Kanan to attack, and at the same time use Kanan's offense to drive the offense of his teammates.
Everyone on the 76ers court can shoot a three-pointer.
Jeremy Grant's three-pointer is slightly worse, but he is very capable of stealing chickens while walking under the basket. When the opponent steps on the three-point line to defend, Grant's running position under the basket is very critical.
When he was a player with the 76ers, Iverson was a player who attacked alone and defended the whole team.
I didn't expect that as a head coach, my tactics would be so aggressive.
The team's quick movement and strong pressing during defense is equivalent to the high-position pressing on the football field.
After all, those who run fast are relatively small people.
On the offensive end, it was a whirlwind of speed.
This style works wonders against teams where some of the NBA's big men play positional warfare.
Especially after Kanan's three-pointer opened up, the 76ers' offense was really terrifying.
In the last game, the 76ers just defeated the Cavaliers on the road.
In this game, the 76ers even led the Bobcats 30 to 19.
Tonight, the 76ers didn't even use their high-post press, but instead shrank like crazy.
Anyway, Duncan and Thabit Turner are both big men, and keeping them under the basket is the best way to defend.
After guarding, go to fast break immediately.
This blow almost defeated the Bobcats in the first quarter.
In fact, playing small against big players is a mismatch in the NBA, and playing big against small players is also a mismatch in the NBA.
It depends on who can bring out their own characteristics. The 76ers brought out their small characteristics in the first quarter.
But the Bobcats failed to bring out their biggest characteristics.
Thabit and Turner were the main attacks planned by Du Kang, but they did not dare to attack.
It was clear that Duncan and Jordan were the key targets of the 76ers' defense. Kidd had already put the cake into the mouths of Thabeet and Turner. The two of them refused to eat and insisted on passing one more pass.
However, Du Kang can understand the tension of the two young players in the first quarter of this game.
After all, it was the first time in his career that he was starting the game, and his teammates were players like Duncan and Jordan Kidd.
Therefore, Du Kang did not say any words of criticism, but only encouragement. They will find their own state and rhythm.
It didn’t take long for them to get back into the game in the second quarter.
Thabeet used his height to hit high under the basket. He had no skills for the time being. After receiving the ball under the basket, he used his height to hit Chris Wood, who was unable to defend.
After receiving the ball, he turned around and broke through, then stood up and dunked. Thabeet's athletic ability was strengthened by Du Kang. His athletic ability was originally considered good for a big center, but now he meets a thin rookie insider like Wood, and he plays quite comfortably.
Turner, on the other hand, also uses his height to shoot from mid-range.
Turner's mid-range is very good. Even as a rookie, he is already very good in the mid-range. Even the strongest one is the long-distance two-pointer in one step from the three-point line.
Therefore, Du Kang's four intensive training camps not only strengthened Turner's athletic ability, but also strengthened Turner's mid-range.
It is definitely a nightmare to let a 2-meter player like Grant guard a 03-meter player like Turner who is tall and has long arms and can shoot well.
As long as Turner's own condition is okay, Grant has no way to defend.
So in the second quarter, the Bobcats defeated the 76ers 30-22. In this quarter, Turner and Thabeet scored 16 points together, which was quite an amazing performance.
At the end of the first half, the Bobcats were still 49 points behind 52 to 3, but anyone who watched the second quarter could see that the Bobcats had stronger rotations and the starting lineup had regained the rhythm of the game. It was difficult for the 76ers to win.
However, the 76ers' mental attributes are extremely strong. In the third quarter, Kanan made 11 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter. He scored 18 points in a crazy single quarter. He and Covington scored 29 points together. He actually led the 76ers in a single quarter. 33 to 29, the score is even wider.
After three quarters, not only were the 76ers not caught up, but they also opened the score to 85 points, 78 to 7.
But in the fourth quarter, the 76ers really couldn't stand it anymore.
The big explosion in the third quarter almost exhausted Kanaan and Covington's energy. In the fourth quarter, the two wanted to play the entire second half, but they were too tired. In the end, the entire fourth quarter, the 76ers single quarter There were 7 turnovers and only 1 shot in a single quarter.
The rebound was blown away.
而山猫,则是非常轻松的在第四节打了76人一个28比18,最终,山猫队在主场106比103击败了76人。
Originally, this game was considered to be a one-sided game before the game. Unexpectedly, Coach D was actually in the starting lineup. Unexpectedly, Iverson's coaching level was really good.
In the end, it came down to the last minute.
It even looked like the Bobcats were close to losing.
But the final result was pretty good.
Moreover, everyone also saw what they wanted to see.
Kanan scored 40 points in the game and made 9 three-pointers in a single game.
Michael Jordan scored another 10 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in this game. He continued to fill up the data column by himself. This season, he focused almost all his energy on the defensive end. , the current steals and blocks data are all among the best.
Many people are expecting Danzi to win the steals, blocks, best defensive player, and MVP this season.
Became the only player in NBA history to win the MVP relying on defense.
Although this honor is definitely inferior to the offensive and defensive MVPs achieved by Jordan, Admiral and Dream.
However, to win the MVP purely by defense, not only won the best defensive player, but also won the steals and blocks. Although this quality is not so incredible, it is very rare and legendary.
Jordan himself must have thoughts in this regard.
And for this Bobcat, his style of play is also the most suitable for the team. His stand-up singles are not outstanding in the team now, and excessive possession of shot rights is not conducive to the team.
Let Beasley and O'Neal play stand-up singles, while he defends on one side, steals chickens, and then adapts to the current NBA and his current self. This is the best.
Not only can you be invincible and maintain a very high level of performance, but you can also make your teammates happy. Why not?
After the game against the 76ers, Du Kang took the initiative to walk up to Iverson and hugged him hard.
"AI, your team is very good, but now maybe there is just one last piece of the puzzle left!"
Du Kang's words made Iverson's eyes light up.
Sure enough, it was the coach, and I could tell at a glance what he wanted to play.
Experts outside are saying that he wants to play fast.
In fact, he is waiting for his love Embiid, he is waiting for a Yao Ming-style center like Jokic.
The ultimate enhanced version of Chris Wood.
He can shoot three-pointers from the outside, attack at the basket, stop the team, and defend the basket toughly.
Once his love Embiid is in place, his 76ers can take off!
"Coach, although Joel has been injured in the past two years, his talent is really outstanding. He learned the dreamy steps of Dameng while lying on the hospital bed watching TV videos."
Du Kang also knew that Embiid learned his dreamy footsteps in the hospital bed.
Before Embiid was injured this summer, Iverson went to Dream to check Embiid's dreamy footsteps.
Then, even Dameng was shocked.
"This kid is one of the smartest players I've ever seen!"
Dameng is really full of praise for Embiid.
"He's going to shock the entire league in the future. Injuries won't defeat him, it's just..."
only?
"It's just that I'm afraid that this kid is too smart and won't learn well in the future, and will be affected by the league's bad atmosphere. However, I heard that Adam Silver's bald head has already entered the NBA, and the soft-ass atmosphere in the NBA should also disappear. I should be worried. is redundant."
This was the first time Du Kang heard that Dameng would worry about a player being too smart.
It can be seen that Embiid is really good.
The two successors to Yao Ming who appeared in the 2014 draft, Jokic and Embiid, seemed to be really possible.
I can only say that the 2014 draft was truly a magical year.
Du Kang also looks forward to whether Embiid can really meet the expectations of Iverson and Dameng.
After the Bobcats defeated the 76ers at home, they defeated the Kings and Wizards one after another. These two games were very easy, and easily allowed the Bobcats to reach 15 consecutive victories.
The Bobcats are now the only team in the league with a winning streak.
After the Bobcats achieved 15 consecutive victories, public opinion began to adopt the Bobcats' mentality again.
I don’t know if it’s the influence from the NCAA or the influence of other teams. Before the strong dialogue between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, they were actually hyping that the Bobcats would end the regular season undefeated this season!
“End the regular season undefeated?!”
When Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue led his team to Charlotte, they were all shocked. It had only been a few hours, but the trend in the NBA suddenly changed.
"Others can't, but I believe the coach can do it!"
Oden's confident look made Tyronn Lue's eyes widen again. Oden, don't you know that you are deliberately making trouble to praise Coach D and the Bobcats?
These people are already helping the Bobcats win MVP and FMVP awards!
After 15 games into the season, there are MVPs and FMVPs, which is simply unheard of!
It can only be said that the public opinion of the Bobcats and Coach D this season is really incredible. There are a lot of people out there muddying the waters.
After all, Coach D led the Bobcats to conquer the NCAA this season and offended an incredible number of people...
"These people have no idea that the coach has actually won the championship undefeated a long time ago. He has won the regular season and playoffs and won the championship undefeated!"
Ok? !
Everyone in the Cavaliers immediately thought of that incredible season when Coach D came down from heaven and came to this world!
And Oden is that member of the Lakers!
