NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 74 The Inside Line of 198 (2500 words)
As the referee's whistle sounded, the game officially began, and players from both sides prepared to jump the ball in the middle circle.

There is no doubt that the ball was taken by Okafor, who is more physically fit.

After Knight held the ball across the half, Kapono and Karim stood at the bottom corner on the right and at a 45-degree angle respectively.

Knight handed the ball to Okafor, who was in a position under the basket on the right, and he and Sampson walked to the left side of the court to open up space for him.

As soon as it came up, Bickerstaff arranged a triangle offense first, and asked Okafor to test the water first.

Okafor pushed his back a few times. Although Thomas is not tall, he is still very powerful.

After trying a few times, I found that I didn't have any advantage in strength.

Using his footwork and dexterity, Okafor opted for a post-up turnaround jumper.

sigh~
2:0
Excellent touch and flexible footsteps have always been the labels of this No. [-] player.

That's why after entering the league, he has been called an inside kaleidoscope.

Peeler dribbled the ball over half court and handed the ball to Arenas, who was staring at the arc.

I stand on the three-point line in the bottom corner and wait for the opportunity.

Facing Kareem's poor defense, Arenas signaled everyone to pull away, ready to play the ball by himself.

Kwame Brown and Thomas are both ready to grab rebounds at the basket.

It seems that for this style of play, everyone in the Wizards is obviously used to it. Even Jamison, another All-Star player, had to stand at a 45-degree angle on the left three-pointer, waiting for the ball to be returned.

Although this ball basically cannot come back.

Facing Kareem, Arenas continued to dribble the ball under his crotch, but Kareem didn't dare to retreat too far.

After all, Arenas's three-point firepower is well known to everyone. If you only talk about personal attack ability, it is not inferior to Kobe, Tracy McGrady and others.

Arenas dribbled the ball and accelerated from the right side. Kareem was shaken and hurriedly retreated.

The general then chose a crotch dribble with an emergency stop, stepped back and made a decisive three-pointer.

It was too late for Karim to react at this time, and he watched the basketball draw an arc.

only in my heart

"Can't get in, can't get in, can't get in..."

sigh~
The three-pointer hits the net!
2:3
Looking at Kareem who was blown up without any suspense in a one-on-one match on the field, Bickerstaff also put his hands on his forehead off the field, and couldn't bear to look directly at him.

I also thought about it, if Kareem is used as the starter, facing Arenas in one-on-one, he will definitely be blown away.

But he couldn't do anything about it. Although Robinson is strong, the speed of the young man is not slow. He is definitely the most suitable person in the team to defend Arenas.

But now I need him to be the fourth in the second team.

Among the few remaining people, whether it is House, Smith, or Hart, there is no suspense, and they are all the ones who are guaranteed to be blown up in one-on-one.

Instead, it would be better to let Kareem play, he will not be completely thrown away like Smith, and with the help of his height, he can cause some interference,
And on the offensive end, his deterrence is still far greater than Hart.

Seeing the goal he scored with a step back, Arenas had a frenzied expression on his face. Looking at Karim in front of him, he wished his nostrils could be turned upside down.

Facing Arenas' provocation, Karim remained unmoved.

Before the game, Liu Rui specially called and warned the players repeatedly.

At this time, the team has just caused such a big trouble, no matter what, it can't give the league eye drops at this juncture.

Otherwise, no matter who instigated the incident, the two teams will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Attacking again, Okafor did not ask for a position at the basket this time, but mentioned the high position and made a pick-and-roll for Knight.

After the pick-off, Knight accelerated down, and with the help of Okafor's cover, he shook off Peeler behind him.

And Thomas had to get stuck in Knight's offensive line in advance, otherwise, this would be an opportunity for an empty basket.

And Knight found the right opportunity, passed the ball behind his head, and returned the ball to Okafor near the free throw line.

Facing Peeler, who was on his own defense, Okafor was much taller than him, and made a jump shot near the free throw line
Even Peeler jumped up and tried to interfere, but apparently to no avail.

sigh~
4:3
In the opening game, both offenses were ended by Okafor.

As for the real one-on-one offensive points on the court, only Okafor has the highest success rate.

From the current point of view, Okafor's touch in this game is indeed relatively hot.

This made the fans at home, who were not holding a certain victory, cheer for a while.

It seems that the result of this game is really uncertain.

You come and go on both sides, with 6 minutes left in the first quarter.

two teams win
13:16
For half a quarter of the game, this is a very high score, which shows how poor the defense of both sides is.

A timeout was called and Bickerstaff replaced Sampson.

Moved Bernard Robinson to the fourth position and let him play.

The Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan, watching Bickerstaff's substitution, laughed and gloated.

I have observed before the game and know that the entire Bobcats team currently only has two insiders available.

Before the opening game, I saw that Piccolo mentioned all the two insiders to the starting lineup, and I knew what he was thinking.

This is to contend with the twin towers on the field, in order to balance the height.

And besides these two on the field, there are three big and tall guys sitting underneath. I really don't believe that Bickerstaff can let them both play a full 48 minutes.

And seeing this moment, Piccolo finally replaced Sampson.

He picked up the newcomer on the opposite side who he didn't even know his name.

Actually let him play the inside line, standing there, it seems that he is not as tall as Kapono next to him.

This made Eddie Jordan very happy.

It just so happened that this scene was photographed by a photographer and played on the big screen in the center of the court.

And the home fans saw the Wizards head coach smiling so happily, and while feeling a little angry, they were also helpless.

His own team really doesn't have any inside players available.

"Mom, mom, it would be great if coach Liu Rui was here at this time. He seems to surprise us every time."

"And I seem to have seen Uncle Liu Rui, let that big brother play inside."

In the auditorium, a little girl in her teens said to her mother who brought her to watch the game.

The little girl was wearing the Bobcats' No. [-] jersey, apparently a Wallace fan.

And what the child said made the mother next to him think, yes.

At the very beginning, fans heard that the team actually signed a head coach in his early 30s.

And has not had any experience coaching the NBA.

This is because many fans have protested, feeling that the team is making fun of their own future.

But Liu Rui only used a few preseason games, and the changes he brought to the new team won the hearts of many fans.

And because of the incident at the American Airlines Arena, Liu Rui's name is well known to everyone, and it is deeply imprinted in the minds of Charlotte fans.

Now, in this city, for people who like basketball, there may be fans who don't know who the owner of the Bobcats is, but there are no fans who don't know who the coach of the Bobcats is.

And in the preseason before, Liu Rui seemed to have used him to play inside, maybe he can really bring different surprises to people.

And more viewers, after a moment of sighing, also thought that Liu Rui seemed to have used Robinson to play inside in regular time before, setting up a small lineup.

And in that game, Robinson seemed to be doing pretty well.

Not only does he use his bullet speed to protect the backcourt rebounds well, but on the offensive end, he can also pull the opponent's inside line beyond the three-point line.

Let the Bobcats' offense play well.

Then maybe this substitution does not necessarily mean that the Bobcats are dead end.

This might really be a surprise to everyone here. After a short period of silence, more and more people thought of this.

In the arena of the Bobcats, after this substitution, another tsunami of applause broke out.

No matter what the result of this game is, the guard who is only 198 tall, in this case, still tops the team's vacant inside line and carries the team's inside banner.

This has won the applause of all the audience! !
