"Run, run, we need to play more aggressively. You don't want to be slaughtered by your opponents at home, and you don't like to see that guy's arrogance. Come on, play hard."
Larry Brown said a lot, all words to encourage morale, but he didn't say how to fight specifically.
Richardson returned to the court with a hundred thousand whys.
When the Bobcats attacked, Rasheed caught the ball under the basket, used his experience to play with Thornton, got away from his opponent, rushed to the basket, and scored a layup.
9 to 4.
While the Clippers were attacking, the Bobcats were still man-to-man defensively, but they were running more aggressively.
Zhang Zhiyuan played Richardson in isolation, faked a sudden shot and made a three-pointer.
This shot was due to Zhang Zhiyuan's poor touch, not Richardson's good defense.
But Larry Brown obviously didn't think so. He thought his adjustments had taken effect and was quite satisfied.
When the Bobcats attacked, Rasheed wanted to repeat his old tricks, and Maggette helped defend.
Rasheed passed the ball to Sean, who looked at his teammates first.
He is the team's last choice. If his teammates have a chance, he must pass the ball first, then attack himself.
Sean took a look around and then chose to throw it himself.
The ball didn't go in.
Not a single opportunity close to an open position was scored, which is actually normal.
Sean is a fake@
They also won by 4 points.
Barkley smiled and said: "The Bobcats didn't narrow the score when Zhang Zhiyuan was away. How will they fight later?"
"How else can we fight? Surrender in advance and replace the main force early to prevent Zhang Zhiyuan from brushing up the data."
Smith suggested.
This is pretty good advice, but Bobcat fans don't want to hear it.
Buckley laughed.
After a short break, the second quarter of the game started.
Zhang Zhiyuan, who had rested for a few minutes, came back on the bench to lead the bench. In addition to him, there were Dragic, Powell Hayes, and DeAndre Jordan.
The Bobcats attack. The backup point guard Augustin is this year's No. 9 rookie. He is very short, but very fast, can dribble very skillfully, and is also very accurate in three-pointers.
After playing more than a dozen games, Augustin has averaged 12 points per game.
That's pretty good for a rookie.
Now Dragic is no match for him, and Augustin breaks through.
Augustin got to the basket and scored.
During the transition between offense and defense, Dragic wanted to compete, but instead of passing the ball to Zhang Zhiyuan, he chose to play Augustin alone.
There is actually nothing wrong with this choice. After all, Augustin is short and thin, so he seems to have poor defense.
Dragic used his body to squeeze Augustin away and also rushed towards the basket.
However, when he went to the basket for a layup, he was blocked.
"This rookie is a bit sticky, why not pass it to Zhang Zhiyuan?"
Dragic just hit one without permission, and Zhang Lili began to question the opponent's unreasonable hit.
In contrast, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't care too much.
It is also important to have one or two players with independent offensive capabilities in the team, who can come in handy at critical moments.
Wallace picked up the rebound and the Bobcats counterattacked.
After halftime, Augustin shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Dragic did not defend outside enough and did not form an effective defense.
The ball goes in.
Augustine roared angrily at Zhang Zhiyuan and hammered his chest, looking quite excited.
Zhang Zhiyuan was a little confused, and it was not his own defense. What does it mean to yell at him?
"Leave this boy to me."
Zhang Zhiyuan said to his teammates.
I’ve never heard of Augustin, so he’s probably not a great person. He’s probably the kind of player who reached his peak when he debuted.
In short, Zhang Zhiyuan did not take him seriously.
Augustin scored 5 points in a row, and the Hornets fans at the scene were slightly excited.
Being able to select such a player with the ninth overall pick is not a loss.
If Augustine can still improve, it will be a bloody gain.
The Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan and Dragic changed positions, and Augustin was forced in front of Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan slapped him on the back, arched his buttocks, and Augustine fell to the ground.
With his small frame, he simply couldn't bear it.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan took a shot from the spot and scored.
"Yes, now Augustine knows who is the boss."
Buckley commented.
"What did he think about provoking the mvp?"
Smith shook his head and complained.
When the Bobcats attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan took the initiative to switch defenses with Dragic, and then went to Augustin to press.
Augustin was suddenly in a hurry, trying hard to control the basketball without making any mistakes.
However, because he had to concentrate on preventing Zhang Zhiyuan from stealing the ball, he was unable to distractedly observe his teammates and did not know how to pass the ball.
In the end, Augustus chose to force the shot and the ball missed.
The offense and defense switched. This time Morrison followed Zhang Zhiyuan closely, but did not give Zhang Zhiyuan a chance to bully his little friend.
This can be regarded as saving Augustine's life. If Zhang Zhiyuan continues to bully him, Larry Brown will probably be unable to bear it and replace him.
After a few minutes of play in the second quarter, the Clippers had a slight advantage.
Then Larry Brown released his ultimate move, killing the main force.
Felton, Okafor and others returned to the court one after another, and only Richardson was still off the court.
His performance in the first quarter was so bad that Jordan, who was watching from the sidelines, wanted to trade him away immediately.
Of course, Richardson also wished Jordan would do this.
The game continued, and it was difficult for the Bobcats to be the main force.
Zhang Zhiyuan relied on one move to break through and score the ball, causing the Bobcats to lose sight of one thing.
There is no way, their team lacks a player who can compete with Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan succeeds every time he breaks through and succeeds every time. Who can bear this?
In order to prevent Zhang Zhiyuan from breaking through, the Bobcats chose to double-team.
As a result, every time Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed, he could deliver a wonderful pass, and even Jordan got two cakes.
With the Clippers' main force returning, the Bobcats are even more unable to withstand the situation.
With one minute left in the second quarter, the score was 69-41, and the Clippers were already leading by 28 points.
Jordan immediately got up and left early. He was too lazy to look at it again, and the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became.
"Hahaha, Jordan can't stand it anymore."
Barkley laughed and said that being able to see Jordan deflate is definitely a great joy in life for him.
"This Bobcats team still has a long way to go."
Smith sighed.
After the first half, the Bobcats players returned to the locker room, where Jordan was already waiting for them.
What followed was a scolding filled with swear words, and the Bobcat players did not dare to say a word.
Compared with Jordan, their position is too small.
If you refute Jordan, you will only be bullied. Even if the conflict is exposed, fans are unlikely to take their side.
After everyone vented their feelings, Jordan left with satisfaction.
He didn't want to watch the second half of the game anymore, and he also understood that his bad training could not improve the strength of these people. Those who deserved to lose would not be able to escape after all.
At the end of the halftime break, the two sides returned to the court.
The Bobcats players looked a little listless, and they did not get their morale boosted by Jordan's reprimands.
The game continued, the Clippers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan was patting the basketball on the outside, and found that Richardson in front of him was standing still.
This was so disrespectful that Zhang Zhiyuan once suspected that it was a trap.
However, facing such a good breakthrough opportunity, he had no reason not to act.
Ever since, Zhang Zhiyuan started up and passed Richardson smoothly.
The smoothness made Zhang Zhiyuan suspect that the other party was letting things go, but he couldn't understand what qualifications Richardson had to let things go? What qualifications did the Bobcats have to let things go?
Zhang Zhiyuan scored two more points and the Bobcats attacked.
Zhang Zhiyuan noticed that Richardson's movement was very inactive, more like he was perfunctory and did not ask for the ball.
Only then did Zhang Zhiyuan realize that Richardson might have encountered something unhappy, or maybe his mentality had collapsed.
This is Richardson's business, and Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't need to take care of it.
Taking advantage of the Bobcats' distraction, the Clippers continued to attack, and then went on a 15-2 climax as if they were overwhelming.
The Bobcats quickly collapsed, every player was dejected, and Larry Brown was almost mad to death.
A few years ago, he would have stopped the game to train these people one by one.
Only eight minutes into the third quarter, Larry Brown replaced all the main players and surrendered early.
He didn't care what the home fans thought. If the game continued, the Clippers might make big news about their team. This was something Larry Brown couldn't accept.
The Bobcats gave up defending their home court, and Dunleavy had no choice but to call a timeout and specifically asked Zhang Zhiyuan if he wanted to continue playing.
If Zhang Zhiyuan wants to continue playing, it doesn't matter to Dunleavy.
"Forget it, lest the fans say anything about me
It’s too much to deceive others.”
Zhang Zhiyuan said helplessly.
He wouldn't be interested in facing such an opponent.
He only played 28 minutes in this game and only scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, which greatly lowered his average data.
But it's not a big problem. His data is already explosive enough, so it doesn't matter if it drops a little.
The main players of both sides were replaced, and the substitutes and marginal players happily came on the field to engage in rookie pecking.
The substitutes of both teams were about the same strength, but they played back and forth, making the game look much more intense and not one-sided.
However, the fans at the scene had long lost interest in watching any more, and many viewers chose to leave early.
The remaining fans booed the home team players and applauded the Clippers players for their wonderful performance.
They express their dissatisfaction in this way.
"It's so miserable. The Bobcats are so miserable."
Buckley said gloatingly.
"They need to make some changes. Richardson and the team don't seem to have chemistry."
Smith said.
Amidst the chat between the two, the game ended.
This is thanks to Larry Brown's early surrender, otherwise, some records might have been broken.
The day after the game between the Bobcats and the Clippers, the Bobcats reached a deal with the Suns.
The Bobcats sent Jason Richardson and Dudley to the Suns in exchange for Laga Bell, Diaw and Singletary.
There was no winner in this trade, as the team's leading scoring star was taken away, and the Bobcats' offensive capabilities became even worse.
Of course, Larry Brown may be happy for a while, after all, he appreciates Laga Bell's defense.
For the Suns, this deal is even more incomprehensible.
There are rumors that Lagaber was unable to adapt to the new coach's tactics, so the team traded him.
But the problem is that the Suns are inherently strong in offense and weak in defense.
Stoudemire, Nash, and even the old O'Neal can still attack, and their scoring ability is not bad.
Now, what's the point of getting rid of the defensive champion and getting a scorer who needs the right to take action?
After the transaction was completed, Zhang Zhiyuan's fans all attributed the transaction to Zhang Zhiyuan, saying that it was Zhang Zhiyuan who broke Jordan's mentality, so Jordan made the deal in a hurry.
This statement is well-founded and not particularly outrageous.
Although the fans of other teams were unhappy with Zhang Zhiyuan's fans, they could not provide any evidence and could only watch as Zhang Zhiyuan's fans continued to be upset.
