NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 398. Chapter 399. Poor Role Model

After the second quarter, the situation of the two teams on the court was even more suspenseless.

The Blazers are so rookie even the starting players, so the substitute players are naturally conceivable.

The best player on the bench for the entire Blazers is this year's rookie, Jack the Great.

But no matter how good Jack played, he was only a first-year rookie.

And McMillan is not a coach who likes to train guards. Jack has temporarily contributed 22 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in 2 minutes per game this season.

This data obviously still has a lot of room for Jack to dig.

It's just that if he stays in this Trail Blazers team, then this potential may have to wait in his body.

So the Bobcats played more easily in the second quarter, which was even more brutal than the competition between the main lineups of the two sides. This was completely a one-sided massacre.

Liu Rui, who was watching off the court, frowned, not because he was dissatisfied with the performance of the disciples on the court, but because he felt that this was a bit too cruel? !

"Mike, do you think this situation on the court is too cruel?"

Liu Rui picked up the wolfberry water at his feet and took a sip, then asked Mike Malone next to him.

"Cruel? No, I think it's okay."

Looking at Liu Rui's expressionless face, Mike Malone couldn't figure out what Liu Rui meant.

So I can only express my opinion honestly.

"Oh."

Hearing what Mike Malone said, Liu Rui also stood up from the sidelines, put his hands in front of his mouth to form a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly to the players: "Mike said, let you be more cruel!!"

Hearing Liu Rui screaming loudly on the sidelines, Mike Malone almost threw the tactical board in his hand.

"Fuck, why don't I lie down..."

Although they don't know why their head coach is crazy, but as players, they have been with Liu Rui for so long, and they also know that they only need to follow Liu Rui's arrangement unconditionally.

So the players on the field thought they were not satisfied with their performance, and they worked harder in the next round, and the methods were once very cruel.

It simply made the Blazers' bench players miserable.

At halftime, the Bobcats were at home with:

69:42
Leading the Blazers by 27 points! !

The halftime lead of 27 points also successfully broke the Bobcats' halftime lead record.

In the eyes of everyone, this game seems to be a massacre.

Fans started discussing who would win the game when they entered the arena, how many points the Bobcats could win, and whether the Blazers could narrow the difference to less than 20 points.

It seems that in this new year, the Blazers are destined to leave some not so good memories today.

After returning from the second half, Liu Rui replaced more substitute lineups, and Joe Johnson and Okafor, who were in the starting lineup, did not play again.

It has reached this point difference, as long as there are no accidents, the Blazers basically have no chance of coming back.

Liu Rui, who was sitting off the court, was laughing and chatting with the players and assistant coaches around him, and the scene was once very harmonious.

And on the court, Liu Rui naturally put Wang Zhizhi on the court, and the point difference has been widened. The court is mainly for training players.

Therefore, if Wang Zhizhi in the first quarter only played more of a role as a high-post fortress, threatening him from beyond the three-point line, then in the second half, Liu Rui roughly arranged some low-post ball-handling singles for him.

Although after training, he has roughly improved his body shape, but in terms of strength, he is still at a disadvantage facing the normal NBA insiders.

However, there is one thing that generally has an obvious advantage, and that is the dreamy footsteps at the basket.

Although in the future tactical system, Liu Rui may not need Wang Zhizhi to go to the basket for more singles, but this does not mean that Wang Zhizhi only needs to practice three-pointers as a focus.

Otherwise, once Wang Zhizhi's three-pointers are taken care of by others on the court, he will always have a second scoring method, so in this kind of garbage time game, it is the best place to exercise Wang Zhizhi's personal ability.

Throughout the second half, the Bobcats did not have too much pressure on the court. Liu Rui also mainly trained new players. Wang Zhizhi also got a lot of rare opportunities in this situation.

Facing the opportunity, he was generally full of energy in his heart, wanting to prove it to Liu Rui off the court, and he also played a relatively good performance under this situation.

At the end of the game, the Bobcats were also relentless at home with:
129:92
37 points beat the Blazers.

The 37-point victory in a single game not only broke the record for the league's largest point difference this season, but also created the best record in the Bobcats' own team history.

Faced with such a huge point difference, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, McMillan, also had a wry smile on his face.

Although he knows that the current Trail Blazers team is weak, but so far this season has not been hit by such a big difference.

Being disturbed by Liu Rui, McMillan felt that his team was simply weak.

"Don't be discouraged. Failure is something that must be experienced on the road to success. I'm just lucky. You will definitely become an excellent head coach in the future."

After the game, Liu Rui also said to McMillan with a smile.

After all, leading the opponent by a large score on the field can improve the morale of one's own team.

However, Liu Rui didn't want to hit a head coach who was already at a loss.

What's more, he and McMillan had nothing to do with each other, so Liu Rui naturally didn't need to target him.

"Hey, thank you. Although I'm ready for a bad season, but facing such a big loss, it still makes people feel deeply helpless."

"You are really strong. These rookies seem to have been used to play under you. I really hope that you can lead them to win this year's championship trophy."

"If that's the case, I think it will be a very interesting thing."

Shaking hands with Liu Rui on the sidelines, although McMillan was a little frustrated, the Trail Blazers were ready to play badly this season.

This decision was also approved by the management, so even if he loses, McMillan can quickly adjust his mentality.

And the last sentence is definitely from McMillan's heart.

Because relative to the Spurs and the Heat and the Pistons, which are favorites to win the championship, McMillan hopes that the Bobcats can upset and win this year's championship.

Although this probability is very small, once the Bobcats can win the championship as a rookie team, it can be regarded as a kind of psychological comfort to other bad teams in the league.

Because all the bad teams in the league have regarded the Bobcats as an absolute role model.

As a newly established team, the Bobcats are a brand new team that is completely dominated by rookies and supplemented by veteran players.

Under such circumstances, they were able to reach the playoffs in an upset, which made other bad teams in the league seem to see more hope.

After all, when a team is determined to play poorly, they no longer care about losing more games.

But they are afraid that even if they lose the game, they still cannot see hope for the future...
