NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 192 Ranking Battle
"Uh, this..."

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Mo Williams was obviously a little confused. Is this what a head coach should say? !
Looking at the other Bobcats players, it seems casual and used to it.

This made Xiao Mo wonder if he had come to the team's training hall.

"Haha, little brother, don't be blind. This is the team's training hall. That's right. Coach Liu Rui is different from others. We are indeed more leisurely when we rest, but we train harder than others."

"After all, this kind of thing not only needs to be worthy of the coach, but also yourself, so eat something now, the coach said that he will introduce it to everyone later, you just listen to the coach."

Seeing that there are newcomers coming, and just like the performance of the previous few people when they first arrived, they are all a little dazed.

Wallace felt ridiculous looking at their expressions.

But since it was the person Liu Rui named and photographed, it must not be bad. At least for Liu Rui, Wallace was convinced from the bottom of his heart.

So there must be something extraordinary about this guy in front of him.

"Oh, oh, well, thank you."

After receiving the pineapple handed over by Wallace, seeing such a scene also made Mo Williams, who had always been bohemian, feel a little embarrassed.

"Where is Pachulia, are you not together?"

Seeing that only Mo Williams came to the arena alone, and Pachulia was not seen, Liu Rui also asked subconsciously.

"He seems to have some things that can only be reported one day later. He seems to have mentioned this issue to the general manager."

Hearing Liu Rui's question, Mo Williams also told Liu Rui everything he knew.

"Okay, got it."

If anyone entered the Bobcats' training hall at this time, they would be surprised.

Because everyone in the entire training hall sat on the floor in a circle, eating big mouthfuls.

Even Bickerstaff, who has been in the league for decades, is no exception.

Bickerstaff, of course, refused at first.

I think the arena is the place for training. If it is too casual, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to manage the players in the future.

But as time went by, Bickerstaff also fell in love with this rhythm unknowingly, and found that not only were the players not difficult to manage, but even everyone was very conscious.

This made Bickerstaff feel very miraculous, and asked Liu Rui twice in private how he did it.

"Hehe, you follow them all day and force them to go to training. Even if they do it mechanically, it's just dealing with the team's tasks."

"Only when they want to train in their hearts, then this kind of training is the most meaningful. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible."

"As for how many people can be so self-conscious, it depends entirely on themselves."

"After all, if they perform well, they have the capital to stay in the team. If they perform poorly, they will be traded out. They are not some star players anyway."

Liu Rui who said this at the time gave Bickerstaff the feeling that he was very domineering.

In Liu Rui's heart, he really knew that in order to protect the players, he would control the playing time of the players in every game.

The total playing time of the main Bobcats is the lowest in the league.

The substitutes played longer than the starters, which is commonplace in Liu Rui.

Liu Rui adjusts his playing time entirely based on the player's state and attitude.

Plus the Bobcats are currently mostly young and have several competitors at each position.

In order to get enough playing time, Bobcats players are secretly competing in private.

In training, everyone is unwilling to be left behind too much by the opponent. Even Eli, who has been suspended for a long time, has never been left behind in training.

Even harder than these people, because he can't play games, this is the experience without games.

In order to keep his competitive state from declining, Eli can only train crazily to maintain his state.

The same is true for the Warriors in later generations. Maybe Cole's coaching ability is open to question.

But Cole is definitely a coach who is particularly willing to use newcomers.

Many of the people in Cole's hands have rejuvenated their second spring or peak period, left the Warriors and signed big contracts with other teams.

Whether it was McGee, who was unusable back then, or Ezeli, who was unusable, they were all in this category.

.........

April 1

After a three-day break, the Bobcats will fly to Washington to challenge the Wizards away.

In addition to Mo Williams, Pachulia also completely returned to the team yesterday.

It can be said that the team is currently ready to go, except for the beast Eli.

Next, we only need to avoid injuries as much as possible, and run this team well to cultivate enough tacit understanding.

As for whether he can hit the playoffs, Liu Rui can only obey fate and do his best...

The Wizards are definitely one of the most impressive teams this season.

In the offseason, the team let Stackhouse go, and no one thinks that the Wizards still have the ability to hit the playoffs this season.

But the Wizards did give everyone a surprise.

Currently ranked fifth in the East with a record of 20 wins and 15 losses.

Of course, the credit for all this, in addition to the very strong offensive firepower provided by the general Arenas, the team introduced another new aid this year, Jamison, also contributed a lot.

Jamison and Arenas formed a very strong offensive duo, which helped the Wizards' offensive efficiency soar, and the current scoring average ranks seventh in the league.

General Arenas averaged 35.4 minutes per game this season and was able to get 26.1 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

Another Double Star player, Jamison, performed equally well, averaging 34 points, 22 rebounds and 7 assists in 3 minutes per game.

The strong offensive firepower of the two from the outside supported half of the Wizards' sky, plus there were two low-post defensive tough guys in the interior, Haywood and Thomas.

It can make the team that focuses on the inside very uncomfortable and greatly reduce their offensive efficiency.

It just so happens that in this era, most teams focus on the basket, and there are very few teams that really rely on the perimeter to win.

After the Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers in the last game, their record also came to 16 wins and 19 losses, which was equal to the record of the top Magic teams.

Due to divisional reasons, the Magic are currently ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference, and the Bobcats are ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference.

Therefore, the outcome of this game also determines whether the Bobcats can go further on the road to the playoffs.

After all, the record of the Nets, Cavaliers, Magic, and Bobcats is evenly matched. It is still unknown who can take the lead...
