NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 158 The Power of a Broken Bamboo
Ariza has basically no chance to play during the Knicks, so he has played so far this season:

He averaged 21.5 minutes per game, contributing 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1.4 steals.

As a defensive figure on the front line, he has contributed a lot to Liu Rui's defensive system.

So there is no suspense in this game.

After three quarters, the Bobcats have been suppressing the Hornets.

And Duhon was in charge of defending Baron Davis throughout the game. Except for Davis, the Hornets couldn't bring any threat to the Bobcats at all.

Don't say that JR is just a rookie now, even the peak JR faces Wallace's defense, it is difficult to play efficient games.

At the end of the game, the Bobcats ended with:
107:86
21 points to beat the Hornets.

Coupled with the Bobcats' victory over the Warriors in the last game, the Bobcats won their opponents by as much as 40 points in the two games.

The super offensive firepower directly attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

After all, before this, as a newly established team, the Bobcats did not receive enough attention, and there was no fan bonding at all.

The entire Bobcats team can get so much attention this season because of the incident at the American Airlines Arena, otherwise it would be difficult for anyone to remember what kind of players this team has.

Since these few games, the Bobcats have scored more than [-] points in several consecutive games, and they have all won big against their opponents.

Not long ago, Lectra defeated the powerful Suns in the West, which allowed the Bobcats to completely enter the media's field of vision.

In the road trip in the West, except for the first Suns, the Bobcats encountered two consecutive teams ranked at the bottom of the league.

And the continuation of this winning streak also gave the Bobcats young players great confidence.

At present, the morale of the team has reached a high level. If there is one shortcoming, it is that the young players are too impatient and always make some low-level mistakes on the court.

Once point guard Knight is off the court, the Bobcats' assist-to-turnover ratio is very high, even with Blazek on the floor.

Because for the defensive and counterattack style of play, while having the first offensive opportunity, it is also accompanied by greater risks.

At the same time, it was the momentum of the Bobcats that created a youth storm in the league.

Coupled with the accurate three-point shooting rate of outside pitchers, this is the super offensive firepower of the Bobcats.

After all, in this era, Liu Rui's three-pointer tactics are advanced, and other teams' defensive experience with three-pointers is far from as developed as that of later generations.

This allowed Liu Rui to lead the Bobcats to a wave of super offensive.

And as the Bobcats beat the Hornets by 21 points in this game.

The team's record also came to 7 wins and 13 losses.

And played a wave of five consecutive victories in the season, and the five consecutive victories continued to set a record for the team's winning streak.

After the Bobcats finish this game, there will be three days of rest.

On March 12

The Bobcats will be a guest in Houston to challenge the Rockets.

The game between the Bobcats and the Rockets is currently very hot by the league.

Early in the season, the league's arrangement might have been haphazard.

But so far, the Bobcats are in high spirits and their offensive firepower is exceptionally strong.

The Rockets have the Yao-Mai combination and have always been one of the most popular teams in the league.

Most importantly, in this game, the encounter between Liu Rui and Yao Ming, two Chinese, is definitely a guarantee of ratings.

Although one is a coach and the other is a player.

But these two people are affecting the vision of Chinese fans at this time.

Fans used to turn on the TV every day just to see how many points Yao Ming scored and how much data he got today.

Now, besides watching Yao Ming, fans also have to take another look at whether Liu Rui led the Bobcats to win again today.

This also caused the Bobcats to become a team with a very high rate of attention in the Chinese market.

This is something the boss Robert never expected.

The team has achieved such a high ratings in its first year, which is unprecedented in the history of the NBA.

In addition, after Liu Rui's comeback, the Bobcats' offense is full of firepower, directly impacting a wave of five consecutive victories.

Robert immediately called the general manager Smith, and discussed Liu Rui's contract with Smith in the office.

After all, the contract signed by Liu Rui at this time is only one year. At first, the Bobcats just wanted Liu Rui to act as a substitute for the dead.

But now, the Bobcats are playing better and better under the leadership of Liu Rui, especially the two second-round picks named by Liu Rui, who have performed very well so far.

Even a fan who doesn't understand the ball can see that Duhon and Ariza's defensive ability is very good, not to mention the insider Smith.

Compared with Robinson and Tron Smith who were traded out, the Bobcats simply made a lot of money.

Robinson is okay, although the Bulls have decided to rebuild with Hinrich, Ben Gordon and Luol Deng.

But relying on his outstanding performance in the Bobcats before, Robinson also got a stable playing time after he arrived at the Bulls.

Although because of leaving the Bobcats' tactics and not having a good positioning in the Bulls, Robinson's various statistics have declined.

But what was even worse was the Knicks. After Tron Smith was traded to the Knicks, in addition to getting some playing time in the first few games, he was directly put on the bench by head coach Wilkens.

Wilkens has had enough of his gamble steals.

The season is not yet halfway through, and the wind direction of this transaction has changed from the Bobcats' stupid and rich people at the beginning to the management's insightful eyes, which shows the professionalism of these so-called experts! !

And this also made the game between the Bobcats and the Rockets instantly attractive.

In China, the reputation of the Chinese Derby is even more famous. This game will be broadcast directly, and it is expected that the popularity will definitely reach a peak.

Because the team has a three-day rest period, Liu Rui and others also flew to Houston in advance, and then found a hotel to check in early.

After all, continuous away trips still have a certain impact on the physical strength of the players.

After arriving at the hotel, Liu Rui directly ordered all the players not to go to bars and other red-light occasions these days.

If Liu Rui finds out, he will be deprived of all playing time from now on, no matter who this person is.

Seeing Liu Rui's serious instructions, the few people who originally wanted to take advantage of the rest to relax for a few days immediately put away their thoughts.

After all, everyone has never seen Liu Rui say something so solemnly.

No one would be stupid enough to touch Liu Rui's brow at this moment.

Going against the head coach is not a wise choice for a non-superstar player...
