NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 137

At the end of the game, the Bobcats used a 12-man rotation.

Many fans are curious about how Wallace and others, who have not played for more than a month, will perform after returning to the game.

Wallace gave the fans an answer with perfect data.

In this game, Wallace played 32 minutes and made 13 of 8 shots, 4 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 1 free throws.

Efficiently scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

And also contributed 1 steal and 2 blocks on the defensive end.

Among them is the block of the chasing cap Marbury, which is bound to be selected as the top five goals.

And it was Wallace's containment on both ends of the offense and defense that relieved a lot of pressure on Kapono on the front line.

Kapono also played the best game since the first game of the season against the Wizards.

Throughout the game, Kapono took 11 shots and hit 7 of them.

From beyond the three-point line, he shot 7 of 5 from the field.

With a super high shooting percentage, he scored 19 points and 1 assist.

Contributed perfectly on the offensive end.

Another comeback big center, Brezek, also completed his task throughout the game.

He scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, which connected the team's offense very well.

As a transfer station on the offensive end, he can accurately transfer the ball to the right person.

And the several counterattacks with Wallace are also vivid in people's minds.

Although Okafor also has a certain organizational ability, but compared with the European-born Brezek, it is obviously still far behind.

After all, this method of playing with the brain has always been Brezek's strong point.

It can only be said that he was born at the wrong time. In this era, all teams prefer centers who can run, jump and have excellent frame protection ability.

The projection-type insider has obviously not attracted much attention from the league.

Even if it is Divac and Bai Miller, this kind of supporting center can only play its role in the hands of the right person.

The two who left Adelman basically plummeted.

For the benefits of this tactic, you can say that the players have achieved the tactics, but it can also be said that the players have achieved the tactics.

The other two rookies also played excellent statistics under Liu Rui's hands in this game.

Because the goal of the two in this game has become very clear, the offensive end is to play off the ball, waiting for the return ball to catch and shoot.

Just try to make three-pointers as much as possible, block the opponent on the defensive end, and pay attention to changing defenses and assisting defenses after pick-and-rolls.

Ariza made 7 of 3 shots in this game, including 6 of 3 three-pointers.

While scoring 9 points and 4 rebounds, he also contributed 3 steals.

In the matchup with the veteran Hardaway, he has the absolute upper hand.

As for another newcomer, Du Hong, while someone involved the defense line, he also got more open opportunities to make calls.

The state of the game has recovered, with 8 of 4 in the game.5 of 2 three-pointers.

Scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

And on the defensive end, it limited Marbury's performance well.

Let Marbury's shooting percentage in this game is relatively poor.

马布里全场比赛19中7，得到了19分4篮板3助攻的数据。

Obviously this low efficiency cannot help the Knicks win the game.

It can even be said that it dragged the Knicks back.

Okafor, who returned to the bench, also let himself go again.

Not only does he have unlimited shot rights on the bench, but he even faces a much weaker defensive player.

He made 13 of 8 shots off the bench, scored 16 points and 11 rebounds, and scored a double-double again.

The record of double-doubles in the rookie season is still continuing.

And the reputation of the double-double machine was also imprinted on him by the media.

Okafor, who is favored by many people, if he has to point out a shortcoming, it is that he was labeled by the media as incapable of fighting tough battles.

Because when facing the Bulls and Spurs, facing the defense of Chandler and Duncan.

Faced with this kind of person who has excellent lateral speed and excellent inside defensive ability.

Okafor is indeed struggling, but this is a journey that rookies must go through.

After all, even in a true offensive kaleidoscope, it is impossible to have no dead ends on both ends of the offense and defense.

What's more, these two have won the best defensive player in their normal career trajectory.

After the game, players from both sides began to leave the field, ready to be interviewed by the media.

By convention, unless it is a real rivalry, the two coaches will hug each other after the game to show encouragement.

This approach is also what the league declares to the outside world that friendship is first and competition is second.

After the game, Liu Rui also took the initiative to walk over to Wilkens.

After all, Liu Rui, who was only a junior coach in his previous life, was in awe of the first Qiansheng coach in the history of the league.

Because compared to others, Wilkens is an orthodox coach with flesh and blood.

He will not let the players use black hands to disable the opposing players like some people in order to win the game.

It will not be like some coaches, even if they are very successful, but there is a lot of off-court scandal.

Wilkens can be said to be a very down-to-earth head coach.

Because it is not only the coach with the most wins in NBA history, he is also the coach with the most losses in NBA history.

It is quite interesting to put these two data on the same person.

And the former mayor of Seattle announced that a street was named after Wilkens.

This kind of treatment is not available to everyone, which shows that Wilkens is still very respected.

"Coach Wilkens, I am very glad to play against you. I grew up watching the games you coached when I was young. It can be said that you are a role model for my generation of coaches."

"I beat you once in this competition, I'm afraid it will make me happy for a long time, haha."

"It's a pleasure to stand here and play against you, and the Knicks' current problem is not yours. This team is full of intrigue."

"Actually, if it were me, I would never coach such a team. Although the Knicks are rich and powerful, they don't even look down on me, haha."

Liu Rui and Wilkens embraced on the sidelines of the arena.

Looking at Wilkens, Liu Rui still respected him very much.

After all, as a junior, facing such a coach who is excellent on and off the court, there is really no reason not to respect him.

Seeing Liu Rui's harmless smile in front of him, Wilkens was also slightly surprised.

Although the two had no grievances, in Wilkens' impression, Liu Rui often appeared on sports news.

Not long after entering the league, there are indeed many things caused by such a young age.

So Wilkens thinks that Liu Rui should be an arrogant young man.

But looking at Liu Rui in front of him at this moment, it is really difficult to overlap these two images...
