First in scoring

Chapter 528 527. Kicked out of the nightclub again
The next day, on the evening of the 13th, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks at home, giving the Mavericks their second loss of the season, and won 2 consecutive games, occupying the first place in the most consecutive wins at the start of the new season!

After hearing the battle report from the little bitch, Zhang San responded: "I don't care about this at all. It's just a winning streak at the beginning. Why would I take it seriously? I have won 70 games before."

On the 14th, the second rest day after the Bobcats' four consecutive home games, he came to Chicago with the team. After dinner, he did not go to play mahjong with Okafor, Yao Ming, Hill, Felton and others, but stayed in the room, watching the Spurs' second back-to-back game in front of the TV with the little bitch who came with the team to the away game to get some camera time.

Seeing P.J. score 26 points and 15 assists, leading the Hornets to a 119-112 victory that ended the Spurs' nine-game winning streak, Zhang San couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't suppress it, he couldn't suppress it at all.

"The Spurs aren't that good. They started with single-digit wins, just like us."

The little bitch who was trying hard to hold back her laughter couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

After two days of rest, the Bobcats came to the United Center to challenge the Bulls away.

At the beginning, the Bulls gave the Bobcats a fierce blow, 9 to 4 in half a quarter!

Sometimes being bold and skilled is not a good thing. Tonight, Carlisle suffered the consequences because of his overconfidence.

Carlisle tried to overpower the Bulls on offense, but failed.

Luol Deng transformed into a speed-type power forward, and together with Yao Ming, they turned the close range into a no-fly zone. O'Neal replaced Millsap after playing for more than 3 minutes, and tried his best to hit Yao Ming... and then got two big punches from Yao Ming.

On the back line, Hinrich's defense is becoming more and more sophisticated, Sefolosha has entered his peak period, and the double defense back line is extremely strong.

1年底薪引进的30岁老将小前锋罗纳德-穆雷，防守也不拖后腿，场均21分钟出场时间能拿到7.6分2.8板0.8助攻1.2抢断。

The one-big-four-small lineup that Skiles tried in the Eastern Conference Finals last season was continued this season, and played very well!
In the second half, Carlisle persisted for half a quarter, but only scored 11 to 10, narrowing the gap by only 1 point.

姚明首节打了9分钟，拿到4分2板2助攻3盖帽，节末被换下休息。

The little giant looked at the two substitutes, Tianzun and the big white bear, and had never fought such a rich battle!
As a pure 3D center, Rasheed Wallace has good rim protection and offensive containment capabilities.

Brad Miller didn't have much to aspire for after winning the championship. If he stayed with the Bobcats, he was going to just teach Millsap how to play. He wouldn't fight as hard on the court as he did last season, making contributions in the odd minutes he got and playing as a big role in the playoffs.

If he is traded to the Suns along with Mike Miller, Kerr will apply for a buyout without saying anything. As long as his salary is not reduced, he can retire on the spot, allowing the Suns to reduce the luxury tax pressure in "installments" and leave the court in style with a championship ring.

But he was dumped to the Bulls... His fighting spirit was revived, he wanted to help the Bulls snipe the Bobcats and prevent the Bobcats from winning consecutive championships!
Even a clay man can get angry, not to mention that he is a big white bear from the Rust Belt. He is just introverted and tolerant, not without temper.

Yao Ming's assists seem to have been enlightened this season, which was taught by Brad Miller. So far this season, Yao Ming's average points per game are below 6 for the first time in 20 seasons, only 18.2 points, and his rebounds are still just over 8. However, his assists have increased from the stable 3.2 or so since entering the NBA to !
The big white bear who averages 15 assists in 2.2 minutes per game, the little giant who averages 29 assists in 3.2 minutes per game, and the Tianzun who can also create space... The biggest beneficiary is Luol Deng, who has become a scorer averaging 20+ points per game. So far this season, he has averaged 20.6 points per game and has become the Bulls' top scorer. Whether he can maintain his "status" like Granger did last season will have to go through the test in the middle of the season.

Luol Deng served as the starting power forward, Tyus Thomas returned to the bench, and with the addition of Tim Thomas, the depth of the power forward position was suddenly filled to the extreme. Tyus Thomas was almost not good enough as a starter and often dragged the team down, but as a substitute, he rushed around, was able to catch the ball, and defend with his body and instinct, and suddenly became a high-quality role player.

But Yao Ming still has some regrets. It would be better if O'Neal was his substitute. In the playoffs, he played 30 minutes per game, and O'Neal played 18 minutes...

After the first quarter, the score was 15 to 19, the Bobcats were 4 points behind, and had the lowest score in a single quarter since the start of the season!

Entering the intermission, Carlisle was forced to adjust in the direction of tough defense.

There is a big difference between active and passive. First of all, the preparations are not so sufficient, and they have been suppressed for a quarter, so their morale is bound to be affected. Even if they are very confident, they will inevitably play impatiently due to the unfavorable situation, which will lead to some unnecessary mistakes.

The most important thing is to defend stubbornly, which is the Bulls' strong point!

After a fierce defensive battle, the Bobcats failed to make a comeback.

86 to 79, the Bulls defeated the Bobcats at home, giving the Bobcats two consecutive losses... and helped the 9-2 Cavaliers to top the Eastern Conference!
姚明今晚打了33分钟，10投6中，加上4中3的罚球，拿到15分9板5助攻6盖帽。

Yao Ming has lost weight this year to the level of a third grader. He is stronger than when he first entered the NBA in his first and second grades, but not as strong as he looked after 05 when he weighed over 145 kilograms. His playing style has also changed a lot, and his data structure has also changed.

When Yao Ming was approaching 30 years old, he began to transform. Zhang Yang did not find it strange, but he chose to stand still and coordinate... In order to prevent the center rotation of the little giant + the big shark, the Bobcats suffered a big loss!
...People should not gloat over other people’s misfortunes and be blindly happy when they see others lose the game.

Zhang Yang felt the importance of character. On the 17th, they returned to their home court and faced the challenge of the Magic team, losing miserably with a score of 113 to 125.

After losing to the Pacers and the Bulls, the Bobcats were able to find many points to discuss when reviewing the games, which will help promote their progress.

But this defeat made the Bobcats lose their temper. They had played very well on offense. Zhang Yang scored 31 points, Felton scored 19 points, Okafor scored 15 points, Millsap scored 13 points, and O'Neal, who came off the bench, scored 14 points. The top five scorers scored 92 points.

Carter and Nelson made a total of 9 three-pointers in a single game, and the team made 21 three-pointers... The Bobcats were directly swept away by a wave of three-pointers from the opponent and were killed by them.

Zhang Yang hasn't experienced three consecutive losses for a long time. The last time was two and a half years ago. After the 3-06 season, they suffered three consecutive losses in early March. In the following two and a half years, they lost two consecutive losses at most.

After losing three games in a row to Eastern Conference playoff teams, public opinion was very unfriendly to the Bobcats after the game.

Although those derogatory voices were unpleasant to hear, Zhang Yang felt that they did make sense.

There are fewer veterans and more young players, who are more motivated, and even the coach's mentality seems to have become younger... but it also means a bit less stability.

However, in the defending season, there are always many unexpected situations. The situation this time is definitely much better than that in the 07-08 season, and Zhang Yang still maintains his composure.

On the 19th, the Bobcats defeated the visiting Wizards 116-72 at home, ending their three-game losing streak and improving their record to 9 wins and 3 losses.

After venting my anger at the team that played badly, I felt much better all of a sudden...

接着山猫队在21号以95比86击败凯尔特人队、23号客场以106比99击败骑士队、25号客场以102比107憾负掘金队、27号主场以104比88复仇步行者队……战绩来到12胜4负。

Time flies and it is the end of the month. After playing against the Pacers, the Bobcats got two days of rest. But on the first rest day, on the afternoon of the 1th, the Bobcats came to New York on Boss Joe's private plane.

That's true. If it weren't for his alma mater, North Carolina, Jordan would not have chosen Charlotte when he urged black wealth leaders to establish a new team. He couldn't stay there and would go to Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago during the offseason.

With only two rare rest days in a year, Jordan couldn't wait to take his players to the Big Apple.

The team members were naturally happy with this arrangement.

Not long after Zhang Yang arrived at the hotel with the team, Harden and his teammates came to him.

Yes, the second-year Harden also has little brothers - one of them is this year's No. 5 overall pick, Stephen Curry!

The other is also a rookie, point guard Toney Douglas, who was selected by the Lakers with the 26th pick in the first round. The Lakers have no shortage of point guards, with Kidd and Fisher as the main rotation players, and Shannon Brown can also serve as a good forward guard. This guy was selected for the Knicks.

Zhang Yang had met Curry before. He sat on the sidelines and watched while Curry played on the court. They had no communication.

This was their first official meeting, and it was more...ordinary than Zhang Yang had imagined.

Curry looked at Zhang Yang, who was three months younger than him but already a big name in the NBA, and seemed rather reserved. He did not have the arrogance that he had when he raised his chin towards Zhang Yang after he made five three-pointers in the first half and led the team to a major reversal and advanced.

Zhang Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He didn't try to befriend Curry, just like making new friends. If they can get along, even if they don't spend much time together, the relationship will naturally improve. Just like him and Paul, if they really don't like each other, there is no need to force it. If they can't be friends, being enemies is also fine.

But he still prefers the arrogant and unruly elementary school student who becomes excited on the court.

The Knicks, like the Bobcats, have today and tomorrow off. Harden, Zhang Yang, and Felton, who heard that Harden was coming and ran to join in the fun, discussed it and decided not to find a place to have dinner. They are all adults. Although Harden is only 20 years old, he has grown a beard and no one stops him from going into a nightclub to drink.

In the end, they were still kicked out of the nightclub... Because a certain elementary school student was too young, Harden's driver's license was checked!
