NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 203 Troika
April 2

The Bobcats will be a guest in San Antonio to challenge the Western powerhouse Spurs.

So far this season, the Spurs have always been the league's favorite to win the championship, and their current record ranks second in the Western Conference, second only to the Suns.

So far, the Spurs have played against the Suns twice in the regular season. The two teams each won one game, and the regular season score was tied at 1:1.

Played a game with the Heat team ranked No. [-] in the East, and defeated the Heat team led by the Sharks by a narrow margin.

This also makes the ownership of this season's championship more confusing, but the odds of the Suns, Heat, Pistons, and Spurs are still at the top of the league.

Others are just guessing, but Liu Rui knows very well that the Spurs won the championship this season.

And the defensive battle between the Finals and the Pistons broke a new low in the ratings of the NBA Finals in recent years.

Since then, there has been a reform of the rules of the alliance, and the era of hand-to-hand combat has officially come to an end.

The team that relies on traditional hand-to-hand combat has gradually stepped down from the altar.

Since the Bobcats traded away Du Hong, they have also gradually developed a tacit understanding. While completing a three-game winning streak recently, their offensive firepower has also been further improved.

It's just that the team's weakness is equally obvious. As a main team with a majority of rookies, the offensive stability of the Bobcats has become very bad.

In the face of the jazz super god Mo Williams, but in the next game against the Supersonics, he turned into a blacksmith again.

It also made the outside world's predictions about his potential confusing.

This season, the Spurs have a very strong lineup. They not only have a troika, but also have a sharpshooter Barry and a defensive expert Bowen.

And the big dog Robinson who can provide stable output as the sixth man.

The insider also has Nesterovic, who is very famous in Europe.

Although he has not been able to prove himself since he arrived in the NBA, due to his cleverness in playing and his seven-foot height, he has always had a stable chance to play in the Spurs.

Before the game started, everyone was optimistic about the Spurs.

Although the Bobcats once had the glorious deeds of upset the Suns, but the probability of such an upset is relatively low after all.

Although the Bobcats have recently won three consecutive victories, the team's offensive instability can be seen even by fans, let alone professionals in the industry.

Liu Rui really wanted the team to win the game, thus giving birth to the title of strong team harvester.

But Liu Rui also knew in his heart that it was more difficult for him to win the Spurs than to win the Suns.

After all, the head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni, is a master of offensive bombardment.

Liu Rui, who came back from the small ball in the later generations, has a very thorough understanding of offensive running and bombing.

But the Spurs are different. The Spurs are a traditional team. They rely on the integrity of the team to win and their defensive ability, which is among the best in the league.

Although Liu Rui wants to create an offensive era wholeheartedly, it has to be admitted that before the league rules are completely reformed, it is simply a dream to unilaterally disrupt the entire defensive era by relying on the performance of the players on the court.

Unless the Bobcats' outside players, every game feels very hot.

And the number of three-pointers in each game can reach more than 20, so there is still a great chance.

But to accomplish this achievement, it is even more difficult than changing the rules of the league.

After all, even the Rockets and Warriors of later generations have never accomplished this feat.

After the opening, the two sides announced their starting lineups:

Bobcats:
Okafor, Wallace, Ariza, Kevin Martin, Mo Williams.

The spurs:
Nesterovic, Duncan, Bowen, Barry, Parker.

Both teams continued their previous starting lineups.

Before the start of the game, Liu Rui once told the players that if the Spurs made any bad moves on the court, they must not break out with them.

After all, unlike the Spurs, they have at least firmly occupied the playoffs. On the other hand, the Bobcats are still preparing for the playoffs.

If a player is being suspended, it is simply not worth the loss.

Of course, Liu Rui reminded the players again and again for a reason. In this era, the Spurs are not clean.

Especially Bowen, the defensive expert in the Spurs, is simply the originator of the stepping.

Before this game, Liu Rui could have imagined that the Spurs would definitely use Bowen to defend Kevin Martin, and use Barry, who has poor defensive ability, to defend Ariza, who has a single offensive method.

And Martin's body is relatively thin, and he will definitely suffer some losses against Bowen, who has excellent defensive experience.

But these are all necessary processes for a player to grow up.

However, Liu Rui can accept the normal loss on the offensive end. After all, a flower growing in a greenhouse is definitely not as eye-catching as a wild flower.

But if others achieve their goals by playing dirty tricks, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Rui to accept it.

Therefore, this is also the main reason why Liu Rui traded Pachulia over.

After all, Pachulia's reputation has always been bad in later generations, so in a sense, I can't be regarded as tampering with his career.

Even under his own hands, Pachulia will become even bigger than the contract in his previous life.

Holding Pachulia in his hand, Liu Rui will not let him take the initiative to hurt other players in the league, but if there are people who are short-sighted, Liu Rui is not the kind of person who swallows his anger.

With the way of the other, return the body to the other, no one can tell who is right and who is wrong.

This is why, in the league's championship team, there will always be one or two black and white glove players.

Black glove players can use dirty tricks on the court to achieve their goals.

If white-glove players have conflicts on the court, it is even more of a one-handed existence.

After all, they are paid, and their only role on the court is to deal with this situation.

Just like Dengtai Jones in the Cavaliers and Dudley in the Lakers.

It doesn't matter whether they play well or not. After all, signing them with money is not for them to play.

The opening jump ball was taken by the seven-footer Nesterovic.

Okafor's height of [-] meters is not considered tall to play a center forward in this era. If he didn't have a solid tonnage, I am afraid that Liu Rui would not let him play the fifth position at this time.

The Spurs' offense this season is more about passing the ball between players to create open opportunities for players on the field.

The offensive rhythm is very slow, basically there is no particularly good opportunity, and each shot needs to be transmitted for about 20 seconds.

This has also led to a generally low scoring average for all teams playing against the Spurs this season.

This also allowed the Spurs to average points per game, currently ranking first in the league...
