NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Lu Wei's offensive performance is very good, he can make sudden shots and shoot, but his defense is a bit underwhelming.

Nate Robinson's performance was a bit unexpected. Even if Kongbu selected him, not many people were optimistic about his development. He is really too short.

In addition, in his draft report, experts commented that his style is similar to Iverson.

As a result, after six preseason games, Nate Robinson did not make a single breakthrough. He averaged about 6 shots per game. He either relied on his teammates' pick-and-rolls to shoot, or he ran wildly without the ball, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, and then catching the ball. Just vote.

He played very smartly, using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and perfectly avoided his height disadvantage.

The performance of averaging 9 points and 10 assists per game has been far better than the predictions of various experts.

Kongbu is very satisfied with this year's newcomers. Although the average quality is a bit worse, each has its own characteristics, which also allows Kongbu to put forward a diverse lineup when facing diverse opponents.

As the saying goes, one thing is better than the other. Take Little Potato Robinson as an example. When he met a white point guard with garbage physical fitness, he was also a god of war.

In 08, Xiaodudou played against the Trail Blazers. At that time, the Trail Blazers' main point guard was white Steve Blake. As a result, Xiaodudou scored 45 points in the game.

A short man less than 1.7 meters tall scored 45 points in the NBA. This is a myth in itself.

To know how many first-class stars in the NBA, their highest score in their entire career may not be 45 points.

The key is that this is not Xiaotuo's only 40+ game. He has three 40+ games in his career, which is quite remarkable.

In addition, Xiaodudou himself works hard enough. He knows very well that if his physical fitness does not work hard, he will not be able to stand in the NBA, so he will seize any opportunity to improve himself, even in the summer league. This is why he The reason why his jersey will be retired by Summer League.

For this kind of player, what reason does Kongbu have not to help? Even if he doesn't help, he will never laugh at him like Larry Brown did, calling him a little brat.

The preseason is over and the opening game of the new season begins.

Naturally, the Bobcats have to play the opening game. As expected, their opponent in the opening game is the Knicks, and it is still the Knicks' home court.

Kombu is already used to it. He doesn't even need to look at this season's schedule to know that his first game of the new season will be an away game with the Knicks.

The Knicks got Howard and Mobley, and Thomas was so proud that he just wanted to try the Knicks to see how powerful this lineup is.

If you can crush the Bobcats, everything will be happy, which proves that your lineup layout ability is good.

If they are defeated by the Bobcats, there will still be a few months before the trade market closes, and the Knicks will still have a lot of time to adjust their lineup.

At 10:19 in the evening on October 07, players from both sides began to enter the stadium.

Compared with last season, the starting lineups of both teams have undergone considerable adjustments.

The Knicks' starting five last season now only consists of Da Zhi and Marion.

The Bobcats' starting lineup is center Ben, power forward Bosh, small forward Granger, shooting guard Iguodala and point guard Chris Paul.

The starting lineup is the same as the Knicks, with only two people left. Ben was not considered the team's starter last season.

Now that O'Pang is gone, he has legitimately become the starting center, which is also the position where he is most confident.

Before coming on the stage, Kongbu began to assign tasks to the starting five.

"Paul, tonight is your career debut, and the Knicks don't even have a serious point guard in their lineup. You are in the right place at the right time, so you must seize this excellent opportunity."

"Make a name for yourself tonight!"

Kongbu called Paul to his side and said.

Paul's face became excited. He knew that Combs was right. The Knicks are strong in every aspect, but they don't have a serious point guard. Their current starting point guard is Charlie Ward, a veteran who entered the league in 94. He has spent his entire career He has been playing for the Knicks, but has always been a substitute.

He has been playing as a substitute for Payton in the past few years. Now that Payton has left the team, he has finally become a mother-in-law after many years of marriage and has taken the starting position.

Since he has been able to play as a substitute for so many years, Charlie Ward must still have something, but it must not be much, otherwise he would not be able to stay with the Knicks all the time, and he must have been poached by other teams long ago.

"Iguodala, tonight you face Mobley. No matter which way I look at it, you will crush Mobley in all aspects."

"I won't tell you how to deal with Mobley. After all, Mobley is not a young man. You played against him last season and you know how to restrict him."

"Danny, don't be so restrained on the court, play as wildly as possible."

"You are no worse than anyone else. I can even put my words here. Your offensive firepower is at the historical level in the NBA. Among all the small forwards currently in service, there are no more than three who are better than you in terms of offensive firepower."

"Even if you are facing Marion tonight, I definitely don't think you are the inferior side."

"Go ahead and do it, I believe in you!"

Combo looked at the two front and back lines, Iguodala and Granger, who looked honest and friendly.

Iguodala looks honest, but honest people don't do honest things. He is shrewd and cunning than anyone else.

And Granger is really honest, so honest that he looks a bit naive and stupid.

After hearing Kongbu's encouragement, Granger nodded solemnly, full of confidence.

Kongbu looked at the Bobcats' inside twin towers, Ben and Bosh.

"Bosh, you have played against Dazhi countless times. In the past two years, you have faced off at least twenty times."

"I don't need to tell you what to do."

"Ben, you have to be careful tonight. I know that guy Shaq has always looked down on Howard, and you may have been influenced by him."

"This kid is not as simple as you think. You must protect our rebounds tonight."

Kongbu gave orders to Ben and Bosh.

Needless to say, Bosh couldn't beat Dazhi. After fighting so many times, Bosh had never had the upper hand in front of Dazhi.

But this is not important. As long as Bosh's disadvantage is not too great, it will not have a big impact on the situation of the battle.

What Kongbu is really worried about is Ben.

Howard was humiliated by O'Fatty many times. He fought twice with O'Fatty last season and was beaten to death by O'Fatty both times.

Not only O'Pang, Howard was also beaten after meeting Yao Ming.

Big Ben didn't have a chance to play against the Suns when he was in the Pistons last season. Then he came to the Bobcats. The Bobcats' fight with the Suns was over, so he still hasn't had a direct conversation with Howard.

Kongbu was worried that Big Ben would underestimate Howard and suffer a big loss on the court.

Howard was beaten by O'Fatty and Yao Ming. He really couldn't defeat these two people, but Howard had an advantage from start to finish against Big Ben.Since Howard entered the league in his rookie season, under normal circumstances, his rookie season has been a real advantage in terms of scoring and rebounding.

Big Ben's defense didn't work very well against Howard, and he couldn't grab Howard's rebounds.

"Boss, don't worry. I'm old enough. I've never experienced any weird things, so I won't look down on anyone."

"But now that you say it, I'm actually interested in this guy."

Daben said with a smile.

It was worthy of Kongbu to remind himself to be careful. This was the first time Ben had encountered him after playing under Kongbu for so many years.

"Dudududu!"

The referee's whistle sounded and the starting players from both sides began to take the field.

After seeing the Bobcats' starting lineup, Thomas Sr. had a smile on his face. He felt that the Knicks had a big advantage in this game.

The Knicks' combat effectiveness has declined because they lack two guns in the backcourt, which Thomas Sr. also admitted.

But the Bobcats' decline in strength is even more serious in Thomas's view. Without O'Fatty and Hill, will the Bobcats still be the dynasty Bobcats?
O'Brien is a top-two super center in the league, and Hill was recognized as the league's number one small forward before he was injured.

Any team missing these two players would definitely be a fatal blow, and even enough to cause the team to fall from a strong level to a weak level.

Seeing that Kongbu sent out a bunch of new players tonight, Old Thomas thought that Kongbu must have run out of skills and was forced to have no choice, so he sent out such a starting lineup.

How did he know that this starting lineup was carefully selected by Kongbu, and its combat strength was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Howard won the jump ball and the Knicks started to attack.

Charlie Ward controlled the ball to the frontcourt, did not dare to dribble more, and directly looked for an opportunity to pass it to Da Zhi.

After Dazhi received the pass near the top of the arc, he started to hit Bosh from behind.

After two hits, Dazhi did not take a shot. Instead, he jumped up and passed the ball directly to Howard under the basket.

The next second, Howard had Ben with his back under the basket, turned around and dunked directly.

Seeing Howard dunk on his head at the beginning, Ben's expression became solemn.

He discovered that the guy in front of him was indeed not simple. At least this speed was a bit unheard of. Ben had been playing in the league for so many years and had faced various insiders. This was the first time he had seen a center with such speed. So fast.

Before Ben even had time to exert force to suppress, Howard had already dunked.

In fact, it's not that Howard is really that perverted, but that when Ben entered the league, the four major centers were already aging. For example, Admiral Robinson, who is known for his physical fitness, has lost his peak elegance.

In addition, Howard's terrifying bullet speed is actually only useful against short insiders like Big Ben. If he faces O'Pan or Yao Ming, he doesn't even have to take off, he can just reach out and block Howard, and the bullet speed is still high. What use can it play?

After completing the dunk in the opening game, Thomas senior beat his chest with joy and roared on the sidelines. He seemed even more excited than Howard.

After experiencing various real-life beatings in his rookie season, Howard's character has become much more honest, and he does not dare to talk trash to Big Ben.

Big Ben also has a dull temper. When someone dunked him like this, he didn't say anything and moved toward the frontcourt.

In the Bobcats' offensive round, Chris Paul steadily advanced with the ball. He has a maturity that belies his age.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Paul paused for half a second. Iguodala came sideways and set up a pick-and-roll. Paul took a step forward, raised his hand and made a mid-range shot, which hit the net.

This goal was scored without any skills, just the most basic shot after the pick-and-roll.

Old Thomas has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. His Charlie Ward is destined to be the breakthrough for the Bobcats tonight.

In the Knicks' offensive round, Da Zhi singled out Bosh, but failed to score, and there was an offensive rebound.

Howard used his amazing rebound speed to grab the offensive rebound before Ben.

After receiving the rebound, Ben quickly stepped forward to defend, his muscles bulged, and he used all his strength to deny Howard any room to jump.

Less than two rounds after the opening, Ben felt that he had suffered a big loss. He let Howard dunk one on his head, and then grabbed an offensive rebound for Howard.

If Howard attacks him again, his old face will be completely lost.

Howard didn't know if it was because he was so badly abused in his rookie season that his self-confidence was not as strong as it normally was.

Facing Ben's defensive defense, he did not dare to turn around and play with his back. Seeing that Ben had no room to catch the ball, he made a direct pass and wanted to pass the ball to Mobley on the outside.

As a result, the pass gave Iguodala a chance to seize the opportunity. He used his strong body to squeeze Mobley away, and then knocked the ball down with his long arms.

Chris Paul quickly picked up the ball with great agility, and he and Granger rushed towards the frontcourt.

Marion, an animal, reacted very quickly. He felt that Paul and Granger might have to connect in the air in the frontcourt, so he simply followed Granger.

As a result, when Paul reached the frontcourt, he didn't pass the ball at all. He made another mid-range shot and it went into the net empty.

Marion followed Granger for a long time, but his work was in vain.

Kongbu clapped his hands happily and laughed. Paul's golf quotient is truly amazing. He is truly worthy of the evaluation of being a court engine.

It was the Knicks' offensive round again, and Ben was already wary. He stuck Howard tightly and didn't give Howard a chance to catch the ball at all.

In the final offensive round of the Knicks, Da Zhi and Marion teamed up, and Marion hit the basket.

Then the Bobcats still focused on the outside. This time Paul and Granger exchanged pick-and-rolls, but it was not Paul who took the shot, but Granger who ran after the pick-and-roll, received Paul's pass, and hit a three-pointer.

Old Thomas's face gradually became serious, and he had realized that something was wrong.

There is something wrong with the little point guard on the Bobcats court.

Both the center and point guard positions require long-term training, especially traditional point guards. If you want to develop a sense of the overall situation and passing awareness, it definitely does not happen overnight.

The rookie point guard on the court seems to be an old point guard who has played for more than ten years, and his passing awareness is a bit too amazing.

The most terrible thing is that he also has a shooting ability that seems to be extremely accurate.

After playing for a few more rounds, old Thomas's heart trembled again. Oh no, something is wrong with this rookie point guard. He actually has a very strong defensive ability!

how can that be!
