NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 181
April 1

Today's game is the Bobcats' first game back home, and the entire arena can be said to be packed.

Except because the Bobcats' opponent is the Nets who are popular and have the Big Three.

It is the rookie Jefferson of the Bobcats in this game, who will face his first battle after returning to the team.

For Al Jefferson, it can be said that there are good and bad in the word-of-mouth of Charlotte fans.

Because of him, the Bobcats paid too much of their players, resulting in a serious decline in the team's offensive firepower.

Some people also expressed their support for the management's approach, because in the previous three transactions, the final results all proved the management's insight.

I think that after Jefferson comes back, he will definitely be able to bring the Bobcats a surprise.

That's why this rookie who hasn't made an appearance since coming to the Bobcats seems to have become the darling of Charlotte fans overnight.

After all, in the previous three transactions, all three players have delivered a good result, dedicating their strength to the Bobcats.

According to calculations, Jefferson is the highest pick among several people, so should the effect be the best? !
TNT TV Smith: "Today is also the first game of Jefferson's comeback since the Bobcats traded with the Celtics. Many people are looking forward to this game."

"Although Jefferson did not bring any unforgettable memories to the audience during his time with the Celtics, since the Bobcats will be willing to give up two main players and disrupt their own tactical deployment, they have to exchange for Jefferson. This is very incredible in the eyes of the fans."

"So I'm looking forward to Jefferson's game. For today's game, Barkley, what kind of results do you think Jefferson will deliver so that he won't disappoint?"

Barkley: "Really, this is crazy. Those who didn't know the anticipation of the fans thought it was the No. [-] pick coming back to play."

"It's hard for you to imagine that he is a rookie who can only play as a substitute in other teams. Even if he is considered a high-ranking rookie, it is still too crazy."

"This is his first game since his comeback. I don't think he can play very well. For the expectations of the fans, if he can't play a double-double, it will really waste the enthusiasm of the fans."

Before the game, the TNT commentary desk also analyzed the anecdotes of the game.

After the start of the game, the two sides announced their starting lineups:

Bobcats:
Okafor, Wallace, Ariza, Martin, Duhon.

Nets:
Jabari Smith, Scalabrine, Richard Jefferson, Carter, Kidd.

Since no one is available on the inside, Frank, the head coach of the Blue Nets, has not yet determined the starting center candidate in these few games, but is constantly trying and screening.

But no matter who it is, the effect is not very good. In the face of a strong offensive center, they are always beaten to pieces.

The last time the two teams played against each other, they lost the game because of the bad touch of the Bobcats players.

But after losing that game, Liu Rui did not feel convinced.

So before the game started, Liu Rui and Frank also hugged on the sidelines.

"Hey, Frank, I let you win that game last time, and this time I must win it back at home, so you have to be careful."

Liu Rui said to Frank with a smile.

"Haha, okay, I'll wait and look forward to your all-out effort, because this way the game will become more interesting, haha."

Patting Liu Rui on the shoulder, Frank felt that this guy was quite interesting, at least he didn't hide his thoughts at all.

After the opening, the two teams jumped the ball, and the Bobcats got the ball first.

It has been a while since Brezek left the team, and Okafor has gradually become used to being the starter.

The cooperation with other people is also becoming more and more familiar.

However, due to Okafor's limited shooting range, of course he can't complete the task with one stop outside the three-point line like Brezek did.

In the attack, Okafor fell directly in the low post, and Ariza and Duhon lay in ambush in the left and right corners.

The top of the arc was given to Martin and Wallace.

Since the lineup of the Bobcats has been changed, now Liu Rui has intentionally or unintentionally listed Martin as the team's first offensive option.

After all, in terms of offensive talent, Martin is currently the highest in this team, and he can be said to be proficient in everything from inside to outside.

And Wallace and Martin are both in the high pick-and-roll, and a momentary defensive misplacement can make them a good offensive choice.

But in this game, the Nets' inside line was very poor, and Wallace directly lobbed the ball to Okafor, who was in the inside line.

But obviously Frank was prepared. As early as the last match between the two teams, because of Okafor's playing, the Nets were frantically chasing points.

So in this game, when Okafor got the ball, the Nets actually chose to double-team.

In normal training, what Okafor practiced the most was the long pass in the defensive counterattack and the ball after being double-teamed.

So the ball was directly given to Wallace who was outside the three-point line, and Frank obviously prepared more thoroughly before the game.

Because the Bobcats have five points on the field, except for Okafor who doesn't shoot three-pointers, Wallace is the most unstable three-pointer.

So when double-teaming Okafor, shorting Wallace is obviously the least expensive point.

Under Liu Rui's training, facing the opportunity of three-pointers, Wallace also took more and more shots.

After receiving Okafor's point, without any hesitation, he raised his hand and threw the three-pointer.

Boom~
The ball went out of the basket, but Okafor stuck Smith under the basket with strength and directly won the offensive rebound.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the second attack, the ball was easily scored.

2:0
Okafor and Wallace who retreated laughed and clapped their hands.

And Liu Rui, who was present off the court, also opened a bottle of Coke and took a sip leisurely.

Obviously very satisfied with this offensive choice on the field, whether it is Okafor's point after being double-teamed, or Wallace's decisive three-pointer.

Although the goal was not scored, it should be played when the opportunity arises.

Facing the inside line of the Nets, Okafor fully played his dominance.

While grabbing offensive rebounds, he also scored a second offense.

This made Liu Rui, who had a precise plan before the game, feel that the victory is sure.

After all, there is still a low-post killer sitting on the court.

Although he just came back from injury, no matter what his condition is, Liu Rui will definitely control his time.

But within the limited playing time, Liu Rui believes that he can definitely bring himself a surprise.

After all, the Blue Nets' backup insider is simply too bad...
