NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 65
After the league's penalty results were officially released, the roundtable meetings within the league also formally reached a consensus.

Originally, Alisson of the Heat was only willing to take out his team's second-round pick to compensate the Bobcats at most.

But after being reminded by others, I realized that I no longer have the second-round pick for next year, and my second-round pick for next year has been traded to the Lakers.

And in my own hands, I don't even have a pick for next year.

At the earliest, it will wait until the lottery after the end of this season to compensate the Bobcats for the drawn first-round pick.

It can only be that in next year's draft, he will choose a player for the Bobcats, and then the Bobcats will trade with themselves in cash.

In this regard, Bobcats owner Robert said he had no opinion, and the whole matter was decided upon.

And Alisson felt disgusted when he saw Robert's face.

After deciding to return to the team, no matter what method is used, we must have a good record this season and try to move forward in the ranking.

In this case, the higher the team ranks and the farther it can go this season, the lower the lottery will be drawn.

Although the pick is lost to you, I don't want you to get it so easily, I have to disgust you to relieve my hatred.

Thinking of this, Alison also looked at Robert with a smirk on his face, feeling that he had finally vented his anger.

…………

And although the game between the Bobcats and the Heat attracted the attention of all American fans.

But in the NBA's opener, other game results have also come out.

The Rockets are at home.

81:93 lost to the defending champion Pistons.

Rockets starting point guard Sura continued to miss due to injury.

In the starting backcourt, Old Ward was still pushed to the point guard position.

On the defensive end, he was blown out by Billups in various ways.

Billups belongs to the kind of player who doesn't have too many explosive points, but what really makes him famous in the league is his stability and big heart ability at critical moments.

It is his super high playing IQ, he knows what kind of people he faces and what kind of things he should do.

If you are shorter than me, I will pull you out, if you are thinner than me, I will hit you on the back, if you are far away from me, I will shoot you, if you are close, I will rush you, double-team me, and I can even split the ball!
It is such a player who is not particularly outstanding and shining, and also has no obvious weaknesses.

He also helped the Pistons beat the Lakers with f4 Kings 1:4 last season.

And successfully won the finals mvp of last season.

Although in later generations, this Fmvp has been known as the worst finals mvp in history.

But at present, I am afraid that only a few people are quite aware that Billups' contribution on the court is sometimes not fully reflected by the statistics.

With his steady style of play and super high basketball IQ, he can always organize the team's offense in an orderly manner.

And on the defensive end, for the No. [-] player, it is definitely a stronger gear.

If you have to find a well-known player for comparison, then Mike Conley of the Grizzlies in later generations can be said to be very close to Billups.

His role on the court is like "Horford" known as the ball blind discriminator.

Many things cannot be reflected by the data, such as changing defenses after pick-and-rolls, etc., but these effects do exist.

This is also after Billups was traded to the Nuggets, in 09 he helped Anthony reach the Western Conference Finals for the first time.

Before that, even the golden double guns composed of Iverson and Anthony still failed to achieve this achievement.

It also stopped in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years.

The Nuggets, who seem so powerful, have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. In fact, a large part of the reason is that Iverson and the Nuggets' system are not compatible.

Iverson hits, Anthony hits, Iverson hits Anthony, hits...

But this in turn proves how clever Billups is, he is like a panacea on the court, no matter where he goes, he can perfectly integrate into this team.

From the Pistons to the Nuggets to the Knicks, just talking about the running-in with the team and personal performance can definitely be called a model on the court.

而本场比赛面对着比卢普斯的防守，火箭队的老沃德全场9投1中，其中三分球4投1中仅得到3分。

而反观并不以得分见长的比卢普斯，全场16投10中，三分球5中2，罚球4中4。

Scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals to help the Pistons win the new season off to a good start.

CIC King Hamilton made 13 of 6 shots and performed quite well, scoring 14 points and 4 rebounds.

Little Prince Prince faced McGrady and chose to put more energy on the defensive end.

But the audience still got 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

"Rashid Wallace", known as the Roaring God, contributed 18 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.

And Ben, who is only a little over two meters tall, is facing Yao Ming, who is over two meters tall.

Although he also scored six points and grabbed 11 rebounds, it was still difficult to limit Yao Ming's performance.

And Wallace, who always likes to defend hand-to-hand under the basket, was hoisted to a high position by Yao Ming many times in this game.

It is also very uncomfortable to have to defend against his mid-range jumper.

And Daben, who was forced to defend, failed to hand over a perfect statistic for the rebounds in this game.

In the whole game, even facing Prince's defense, McGrady was still explosive enough to score 36 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

But still failed to win this victory for the team at home.

Because of the Rockets' poor lineup rotation, and they don't have any reliable players on the bench.

Therefore, even Yao Ming scored 26 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

The Yao-Mai combination scored 62 points, 21 rebounds and 8 assists in the first opener of the season.

It accounted for three-quarters of the team's total points, but they still lost in the end, swallowing the loss with hatred.

In the first three quarters, the scores of the two teams were still stalemate, and the maximum point difference did not widen to more than five points.

However, due to the long-term presence of the main force, the players began to become tired in the fourth quarter, and their touch gradually declined.

The Pistons hit a 12:0 spurt and took the game away.

And at the press conference after the game, when the reporter went to interview Van Gundy.

"I would like to ask Coach Van Gundy, what do you think is the main reason for the team's loss in this game?"

Van Gundy: "The main reason for our loss in this game is entirely because of Yao Ming. I don't know why he pulled out so many times to shoot that damn mid-range shot."

"I don't think I have focused on this requirement, and this is not his first scoring method. If he can hit the basket more in this game, then we have already won this game."

Gritting his teeth, Van Gundy still believed that the main reason for Yao Ming's failure to hit the basket in this game was the main reason for his loss.

Reporter: "However, for Yao Ming's several mid-range shots today, his shooting percentage is very high. According to statistics, in this game, he only missed one of his seven 19-foot shots. That is to say, he has a shooting percentage of 7 out of 6 shots."

"And this kind of shooting rate, even if you hit the basket, you may not be able to hit it, and even if this is the case, Yao Ming will try his best to avoid being stuck in a hand-to-hand fight with Da Ben."

"By the fourth quarter, Yao Ming's physical strength was still in a state of collapse, and he was obviously unable to keep up on the defensive end, but you still chose to keep Yao Ming on the court."

"So you think, is this really the main reason for the loss in this game?"

Van Gundy: "..."

An angry Van Gundy kicked away the chair in front of him, trying to end the interview quickly.

"What kind of questions are they asking?!"

　Thanks to all the brothers who rewarded the old cat, and thanked all the brothers who accompanied the old cat along the way.

　　My head is really confused at this time, I will release it regularly, the life of the old cat and dog is at stake, I have to go to rest quickly...
