NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 123 Handling Discharge
As for the Pistons, even Prince Prince made 19 of 12 shots and scored 31 points and 7 rebounds.

But still lost the game.

The underestimation of the Bobcats before the game and the lack of adequate preparation are also the main reasons for the Pistons' loss in this game.

When the Bobcats' defensive quality improved, facing the Bobcats' decisive defensive counterattack.

Without Big Ben and Billups, the Pistons still haven't made any preparations.

Therefore, it is inevitable to capsize in the gutter of this game. After all, there are no underdogs in the NBA. If you underestimate any team, you will pay the price.

In the post-match press conference

Reporter: "Coach Piccolo, before this, you were the bottom one in the Eastern Conference, but facing the defending champion Pistons, you still won this game when no one was optimistic about you. So what do you think is the secret of winning this game?"

"And the rookie Du Hong, what kind of role will he play in this game?"

Bickerstaff: "First of all, because the team is facing a lack of people, the record has not been very good since the start of the game, but this does not mean that we are a poor team, but on the contrary, I think our team has great potential."

"And the reason why this game was able to win is also due to the great improvement of the team's defense."

"For the two newcomers Ariza and Duhon brought in by the team's two trades, I would like to give them a lot of praise. Their defense has brought changes to the entire Bobcats team."

"And Duhon played an important role here, because Hamilton's offense did not open up under Duhon's defense throughout the game."

"It was also his defense against Hamilton that allowed us to finally win the game."

"Of course basketball is a team sport. Today Ariza, Duhon, Okafor, and all the players on the court performed very well. Everyone did what they can do to the extreme."

"Including coach Liu Rui who is still lying in the hospital, he gave us a very detailed information on Hamilton's report before the game."

"I don't know why he knows so much about so many players in the league, but this is a win that we all worked together from the coaches to the players."

Bickerstaff who was interviewed also had a glorious face. After all, winning this game also greatly improved the morale of the team.

Reporter: "When it comes to Coach Liu Rui, we want to know what kind of physical condition Coach Liu Rui is in now, and when will he be able to come back and lead the team."

"For coach Liu Rui's comeback, I believe not only you, but also many fans are also looking forward to it, so is it convenient to reveal it?!"

Bickerstaff: "Coach Liu Rui is currently recovering very well, and we often get in touch before the game."

"And it is expected that he will come back to lead the team in the near future, because after all, the injury is the head, which is a relatively important place, so the team is also more cautious, that's it."

Liu Rui, who was watching TV and eating snacks in the hospital, felt that Bickerstaff was really an old urchin.

Every time I accept an interview, I don’t forget to bring a boast about myself.

This is rare in the business league of the NBA, and in his previous life, it might have been because he was a nice guy.

That's why I haven't been able to take the position of head coach for a long time.

Even though I ended up working as a head coach for a while, I had to go back to being an assistant coach in the end.

There may be times when being too kind can be a disadvantage.

In the last two games in November, the Bobcats also lost to the Eagles and the Pacers again suffered a two-game losing streak.

Let the team's record come to 2 wins and 10 losses.

But in these two games, the Bobcats have only lost a total of seven points.

Every game is very anxious. With the comeback of Buffalo White, Okafor's pressure on the inside has also been relieved a lot.

Every game can get more rest time, facing the Pacers who have both O'Neal and Artest suspended.

Okafor had 18 points, 15 rebounds and three blocked shots.

And 15 rebounds, also created a new career high.

And continue to set a record for double-doubles in the rookie season.

Leading the way on the latest rookie leaderboard.

Howard and Josh Smith are ranked second and third after Okafor.

April 12

Entering the first day of December, the Bobcats will fly to New Jersey to challenge the Nets.

Sure enough, no accident, he was hammered by the Nets at the beginning of December.

Although the current Nets Trident has not yet converged, there is still a lineup of Kidd, Jefferson and Mourning, and the depth of the Nets' lineup is not too bad.

At least not the current Bobcats can match.

81:96
Unsurprisingly, they lost to the New Jersey Nets by 15 points.

2 wins and 11 losses continue to rank first in the East.

The Bucks are considered difficult brothers. The Bucks currently rank second to last in the Eastern Conference with 2 wins and 10 losses.

The two teams competed secretly, and they had to compete, but obviously, the Bobcats were superior, and the loss was worse...

April 12

The Bobcats once again ushered in the challenge of the 76ers, and for this game, Liu Rui, who was in the hospital, did not choose to watch.

Because although Du Hong's defensive ability is strong, it is not strong enough to defend Iverson alone.

Because even if the Nets play the 76ers, Kidd's personal defensive ability is so strong that he will not choose to defend Iverson except for the decisive moment.

Instead, keep his physical strength on the offensive end to organize the offense, which shows how strong Iverson's personal singles ability is.

As a cross-era combo guard, before Iverson appeared, few point guards played like Iverson.

So Liu Rui didn't bother to watch it at all, because if the Bobcats can win this game, how hard is Iverson's game? !
What's more, do you think you can win because Iverson doesn't feel good? !

Iverson made 8 of 0 shots, but relied on fouls again and again, 27 of 25 free throws, and a glorious history of scoring 25 points.

And as expected.

Bobcats with:

85:102
Lost to the 17ers by 76 points, Iverson played 36 minutes in the game.

27投13中，三分4中1，罚球12中10。

He scored 37 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.

And the score is higher than the playing time, which has become commonplace for Iverson.

Although due to injuries, Iverson no longer has the omnipotence of his peak period.

But in the face of Iverson's change of direction and breakthrough, Du Hong, who was still playing, was a little suspicious of life.

After all, no matter what, Du Hong at this time is not yet a mature body of later generations, but just a first-year rookie.

With the end of the game, the Bobcats' record came to 2 wins and 12 losses.

Liu Rui, who is in the hospital, doesn't have time to pay attention to these things.

Because Liu Rui was going through the discharge procedures in the hospital.

Although the hospital is a moment of pleasure, it is always a pleasure to stay in the hospital...

But after the next game, the suspensions of Wallace and Brezek will be completely over and they will face a comeback.

The team's record so far looks unbearable.

But Liu Rui is still full of surprises when he looks at the current lineup of the Bobcats.

After all, Liu Rui has been waiting for this day for a long time...

　It will be on the shelves soon, the problem is not too big to withstand, thank you for your concern.
