shooting guard era

Chapter 172 202. Eddie Curry
"We must be the ones who can win the series." Luol Deng, who had been bored for a noon, suddenly said a word.

Sure enough, this kind of boring gourd is a very competitive person!Although Luol Deng is not as good as Ben Gordon in terms of strength, but Luol Deng gives Ye Han a very good feeling. Compared with focusing on the game, Luol Deng can beat Ben Gordon by a long way.It's not that Ben Gordon isn't competitive. He cares about winning, too, but mostly.And Luol Deng's competitiveness is phenomenal, the kind of few people.

Ye Han clearly felt Luol Deng's desire for victory, and it was very obvious in his words.

There were no disputes, no quarrels of any kind, and both duos understood and appreciated each other's dedication to victory.

"Then let's wait and see when the time comes, let today's game be the appetizer for our playoffs!"

After lunch, Ben Gordon and Luol Deng sent Ye Han and Okafor back to the hotel.

Watching Ben Gordon's car leave quickly, Ye Han felt that this world is really wonderful.

"Emeka, I didn't expect that the first team that was destined to become our enemy would be this team. Who would have thought that they would play so well." Ye Han said with emotion.

The top three in the Eastern Conference are basically determined. The Heat and the Pistons are the leaders of their respective divisions, and their records far exceed other teams in the Eastern Conference. It is basically confirmed that the two teams are ranked in the top two in the Eastern Conference. The second-best record in the division where I live is the Nets, a team that doesn't rank in the top eight in the East, so the Celtics basically sit third in the East.

Except for these three teams, the rankings of the other teams in the East are based on their records.With the Bulls' stable record and the Bobcats' steady upward momentum, as well as the weak strength of other teams in the East, it is basically certain that the two teams will be ranked fourth and fifth, and they will meet in the first round.

"Also, no one thought we could reach fourth in the East, right?" Okafor was also very emotional, thinking that he was disappointed when he was selected by the Bobcats, thinking that he would spend several years on a bad team.

……

The Bobcats play their last game of February at the United Center in Chicago.

This is a battle between two of the league's most promising young teams.

Before the season, no one thought that these two teams would become the mainstay of the Eastern Conference, and the two teams with most of the players composed of young people would actually perform so well.

Just like what Ye Han said at noon, others also believed that this was a preview of a series in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

As usual, the important game of the Bobcats is the extra broadcast time of major national-level sports stations. This game in the United States will be broadcast live by TNT and the newly launched network-network-live-broadcast NBA-TV.

In the past two years, the United States has rapidly entered the new network era. Due to the popularization of brand-new optical fiber communication technology, the network speed has begun to increase rapidly, making live broadcasting on the network a reality.

The NBA has become a pioneer in live webcasting of the four major leagues in the United States and even large-scale professional sports games around the world. The league officials were the first to conduct experiments. They founded NBA-TV and invited some retired stars to explain.

Generally speaking, live webcasting is still a new thing, and the slightly sloppy picture compared to live TV shows that this is still a new gadget in the process of being perfected.

For the national live broadcast, the Bobcats have gradually calmed down, but someone on the Bulls is very excited. He is the legendary little shark Eddie Curry.

When Curry played against O'Neal in 02, he was given the nickname baby Shaq by O'Neal, which means Little O'Neal. It is different from Jermaine O'Neal's small O'Neal representative surname. Nicknamed for his outburst performances on national telecasts of Lakers games.

Curry is not only similar in figure to O'Neal, but also in certain personalities, such as Ai Xiu, the bigger the scene, the more excited he is.

After Jordan’s absence, the attention of the Bulls dropped sharply. In addition, the Bulls’ management was exposed to force Jordan to retire in 98, which caused the Bulls to lose most of the fans in Jordan’s era. Therefore, since Jordan retired, the Bulls rarely broadcast nationally. The number of live broadcasts in the United States can be counted on one hand.

So after hearing that this game was broadcast live across the United States, Curry was so excited.

Seeing Curry's rare warm-up before the game, the teammates were all shocked. Today's game has greatly increased the chances of winning!
Bobcat here.

Like the opponents, all Bobcats took this game very seriously.Bickerstaff began to study the Bulls when he was playing against the Sonics. After all, it doesn’t matter if the Mavericks win the Sonics or not. Anyway, the playoffs will definitely not happen. He hasn’t expected the team to score. finals.And even if the team reaches the Finals, these two teams will definitely not be able to make it to the West.

But the Bulls are different. According to Bickerstaff's prediction, the fact that the Bulls are opponents in the playoffs can't run away.

To deal with the Bulls, they must first contain their bench, which is the Bobcats' weakest link, so he will reactivate Milicic and strengthen the bench lineup.

In addition to strength, mentality is also very important in the game. If you keep losing to your opponent in the regular season, you will definitely have some psychological obstacles in the playoffs.

The strength of the Bulls is very strong, there is no doubt about it, but now the Bobcats are no worse than them, there is no doubt about this than Kerstaff.

However, in addition to conventional strength, the Bulls also have a nuclear weapon, which is Curry.

Curry is a headache for both the coach and the opponent. You can defend against him. He may not be in the game that day. He went up for a walk and went to rest. Don’t target him. He is a real man in 3 minutes. It would be depressing to play the performance of the little sharks in a certain period of time.

In the end, Bickerstaff decided to use a regular style of play, not to target a certain player because he might break out, nor to let him go because a certain player on the other side might not be in good shape.

At seven o'clock in the evening, at the United Center in Chicago, the Bobcats' away game against the Bulls officially started.

The Bobcats started the same way, and the Bulls offered a two-tower lineup. Curry and Chandler, the 01 high-ranking big men, were skilled in one offense and one defense; the front line was Luol Deng and Andre Si - Nosinho, defender Hinrich.

Chandler and Okafor jump the ball.

Chandler sent the ball back with a huge bounce advantage, and the Bulls went first.

Curry wanted a position inside, and the audience was overjoyed, Curry is going to explode!It's rare to see Curry start so positively, and the fans immediately straightened their backs and stared at the court intently.
