NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 73 The first home game of the season!
The reporter who interviewed Wade also showed a little surprised expression on his face.

Obviously, he didn't expect that this rookie, who was only in the second grade, would have such a high emotional intelligence.

Still unwilling to give up, he asked: "Then due to the arrival of O'Neal this season, the Heat are now generally favored by the outside world, because you already have the strength to hit the championship."

"Then after O'Neal comes back, how do you deal with key balls, or is the team's first choice when chasing points? In your opinion, who is more suitable between you and O'Neal."

Wade puffed his cheeks, frowned slightly, and rolled his eyes twice.

"I think basketball is a five-person sport. It's not just me and O'Neal on the court. All the players are working hard for the result of the game."

"So, I think the key ball is of course transferred to the person with the best chance on the court to handle it, that's it."

Originally, the reporter wanted to take advantage of the heat that the Heat have not yet passed, and make some remarks in this interview.

In order to get some big news, I didn't interview the coach Van Gundy for the first time, but chose Wade, a rookie who was only in the second grade.

But I never expected that since this guy answered everything seamlessly, I am afraid that even if he changed himself, he might not be able to answer so smoothly.

This made the rest of the remaining reporters retreat, and they all turned to interview Van Gundy for a while.

The reporters who had originally surrounded Wade all shifted their positions in an instant, and Wade's side was empty in a blink of an eye.

This kid is flamboyant! !It's watertight...

And in another focus battle on the same day.

The 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics 86:80.

Although Iverson is still the league's top scorer.

But this "little answer", who has been fighting in the muscle jungle for 8 years, is covered with old injuries.

Now it is entirely relying on tenacious will and desire to win to lead the 76ers forward.

And this season, Iverson is still like a lonely killer, carrying the team forward alone, and no one in the team can give him much help.

But now that sensational deal in the Eastern Conference has not yet happened, who would have thought that the best helpers around Iverson, since there are only two rookies.

They are Korver, who is only in the second grade, and Iguodala, who was selected with the ninth overall pick this season.

Today's Iguodala is still a little immature, and can only give Iverson a little help on the defensive end.

Korver can only act as a spot-up shooter.

In most cases, you can only pull away and watch Iverson fight alone.

He fell on the court again and again, using his body to win some free throws.

But even so, Iverson played 39 minutes in this game, made 31 of 13 shots, 4 of 1 three-pointers, and 16 of 13 free throws.

Throughout the game, Iverson faced Payton and Tony Allen's defense like a plaster, although the shooting percentage was not very high.

But still scored a game-high 40 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists.

At home, he led the team to defeat the Celtics and got off to a good start to the season.

It also eclipsed Pierce's 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

.........

11 month 2 day.

Bobcats are packed at home, as a new team into the league.

With such a high attendance rate in the first home game, the happy Robert was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth in the office.

Although, not many people in this game are optimistic that the Bobcats can defend the victory at home.

But this does not seem to affect the enthusiasm of the home fans.

With the entrance of Bobcats players, the home fans responded with very warm applause and cheers.

For the Wizards, it's super loud noises to try to disrupt their mental defenses.

Even though Bickerstaff had been prepared in his heart, he was still full of shock in the face of the enthusiasm of the home fans.

As the players on the field gradually began to warm up, both teams announced their starting rosters.

Bobcats:
Okafor, Jamal Sampson, Kapono, Kareem, Knight
Wizards:
Etan Thomas, Kwame Brown, Jamison, General Arenas, Anthony Peeler.

But Bickerstaff finally chose, and mentioned the field control master Knight to the starting lineup.

And because of Knight's starting game, there must be a ball handler in the first position on the bench, although Stephen Smith can also play this role.

But in order to keep the little man mobile, Bickerstaff put House on the bench.

And in order to be able to open up space with Kapono at the same time, create singles opportunities for Okafor.

Bickerstaff did not choose to use Hart to play in the starting lineup, but used the left-handed throwing knife Karim.

It can also be regarded as a targeted substitution.

But in order to limit the Wizards' inside twin towers, Sampson had to be mentioned in the starting lineup.

But he and Okafor formed an inside combination on the spot.

In this game, I'm afraid not only have to face huge playing time.

The two will go up and down repeatedly, trying to stagger this time to ensure that the second-hand lineup still has a good height.

The Wizards coach Eddie Jordan also chose to put Larry Hughes on the bench as the sixth man.

Let the veteran Piller match Arenas as the starting backcourt.

Anyway, no matter who is partnering with Arenas in the backcourt, they won't get the ball...

It might as well put Hughes on the bench instead, and enrich the second team.

"Guys, this is our first game back at home in the new season. Although our lineup is not complete, you have also seen how high the home fans have for us."

"So, in fact, in today's game, even though we will play very difficult, we must work hard to win this game."

"Everyone remember my pre-match arrangement just now, and Knight, you must control the rhythm on the court, remember not."

It was the first time as a head coach to play against other teams. Although Bickerstaff was not young, he faced so many spectators watching.

At this moment, I still felt a little nervous, and a few drops of sweat dripped from my forehead unconsciously.

Only then did Bickerstaff realize that this Liu Rui was simply not human! !
Under such circumstances, how could he still sit leisurely on the sidelines and eat snacks? !

Is this still a human thing? ! !
"Remember the coach, don't worry, we will try our best to win this game."

Under Liu Rui's system, Knight has never had too many performance opportunities, although most people in the team admire and respect Liu Rui very much.

And he did perform well enough, but in such a freshman team, a completely new team.

The brains of a team like himself can't be reused, which makes Knight always have some complaints in his heart.

But Liu Rui's status and respect in the hearts of players is getting higher and higher, and he has nowhere to vent.

In this game, Bickerstaff got himself the starting position.

And he will also be the first ball handler on the field, which makes Knight feel very excited! !

　Thank you, Brother Wangshu, for your reward! !
　　Thanks to the four brothers of Chaosai for their rewards! !
　　Thanks for the sweet and sour pork tenderloin brother who is a little sweet! !
