Coach Lee

Chapter 732 This No. [-] Selection Is Too Poor

The NBA team training camp has nearly two weeks of running-in time, and after the joint training, there will be a preseason game.

This time is completely enough for a team like the Nuggets that has not changed much in the lineup.However, these two weeks are a little short for the newly born Charlotte Bobcats.

Bobcats small owner Jordan is very leisurely this summer.Of course, he can help the Bobcats make a lot of money even if he is idle.

Jordan is very leisurely, but the Bobcats are very busy up and down.

From scratch, the Bobcats prepared for years.

This summer, they are also busier in terms of team building.

After the draft and a summer of additions, with more than a dozen players, the Bobcats finally took shape.

In the draft, the Bobcats selected the No. [-] pick Yi Jianlian.

This is the second place selected by the little boss, Michael Jordan, who once hand-picked Yao Liang's golden touch master, and who has a discerning eye for heroes.

In the low draft, the Bobcats also selected JR-Smith and Delonti-West two guards.

In the free agent market, the Bobcats used Jordan's name to recruit many young talents.

Andre - Miller, Joan - Barry, Mark - Pope, Michael - Doriak four Nuggets players were "undercover" Jordan packaged to the Bobcats.

Former Spurs core player Michael Finley, former All-Star shooter and veteran Steve Smith, former Kings player Gerald Wallace, former Nets player Kenyon Martin, floor runner Nene Hillary Oh, Earl Boykins with a height of 165, Slovenian center Primoz Brezek, and shooter Jason Kapono cut by the Cavaliers.

In this way, the Bobcats' 15-man roster is also out.

Point Guard: Andre Miller, Earl Boykins, Delonte West,
Shooting Guard: Michael Finley, Joan Barry, JR Smith,
Small forwards: Gerald Wallace, Steve Smith, Jason Kapono,
Power Forward: Kenyon Martin, Yi Jianlian, Mark Pope,

Centers: Primoz Brezek, Nene Hilario, Michael Doriak.

With Finley, Kenyon Martin, Steve Smith, three All-Star players, as well as Yi Jianlian, Gerald Wallace, Miller and other outstanding players, head coach Bernie Bixda Husband can be regarded as a coach with many years of coaching experience, and the lineup of the Bobcats is quite optimistic by experts.

However, the two weeks of training ended in a hurry, and the Bobcats were quickly pulled into battle.In the first game, the Bobcats lost.

69-96
With 27 points, the Bobcats were defeated by the Chicago Bulls, who have been struggling for many years.

Bulls:
The No. 01 pick in 24, Kwame Brown, scored a game-high 12 points and [-] rebounds.

Sophomore Hinrich scored 15 points, rookie Ben Gordon scored 15 points, and rookie Luol Deng scored 11 points and 8 rebounds.

Bobcats:
Finley, 16 points, 4 rebounds and 0 assists,

Kenyon Martin, 13 points and 9 rebounds,

Andre Miller, 10 points and 3 assists,

No one else was in double figures.

易建连，出场5分钟，3中0，没有罚球，0分2篮板0助攻0抢断0盖帽2失误2犯规
The Bobcats team played so badly that they had no tactics at all, almost all individual singles.The team's shooting percentage is only a poor 33%, which is terrible.

After the game, Bobcats head coach Bernie Bickerstaff was the first to criticize.

"This is a rubbish coach! It's a pity that the Bobcats have a good hand."

This is a very severe refutation, and it is a severe refutation from the superior to the subordinate.

There are not many fans of the Charlotte Bobcats, but their demands are really high.

After all, this is a team formed by God, and the players are all chosen by God. If the players do not perform well, it is naturally the fault of the coach.

They didn't take into account the fact that the Bulls became stronger at all, and they looked at the problem entirely based on their personal opinions.

There are also some fans who really support the Bobcats to give advice to the Bobcats.

"We should give Yi more playing time."

"Change the coach, Bickerstaff's coaching really sucks."

"Let Michael coach the team. I believe that the omnipotent God will definitely lead the Bobcats to glory."

.

In the second game, the Bobcats lost again.

80-94
The Bobcats lost to the Magic by 14 points.

The sickly Grant Hill, the rough-skilled No. [-] pick Howard, and the best sixth man ever, Stackhouse.

It was these three people who found confidence in the Bobcats.

Hill "returned to the top" and scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.

Stackhouse, 25 points,
Howard, 20 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks,

Bobcats:
Finley 20 points, Martin 14 points, Wallace 11 points, Miller 10 points,
易建连上场10分钟，5中2，得4分2篮板2失误4犯规，

A reporter interviewed Bickerstaff, "Why not give Yi more playing time?"

Bickerstaff replied calmly, "Yes, he played twice as many minutes today. However, his performance was not satisfactory. He is not as tall as Yao, and he does not have Wang's organizational support ability. He doesn't have Dwight's explosive body, and his defense can't keep up with the rhythm. All in all, he is still young and needs to learn more on the bench."

Bickerstaff's news interview soon hit the papers.

However, everyone thinks that this is Bickerstaff's misfortune.

More voices of crusade against Bickerstaff came out, and many people hoped that this incompetent coach would get out of class.

"Change the coach! Bickerstaff's coaching win rate in his entire career is only 40%. Such a coach is not worthy of being the coach of our Bobcats."

Of course, there are also some people who look down on Yi Jianlian.

"Yi's performance is still a bit worse than that of Dwight Howard, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon and others. The Bobcats' second pick is too poor."

.

In the third game, the Bobcats played the Wizards at home.

120-81
The Bobcats were blown away by the MOST combination of the Wizards.

O'Neal scored 40 points, 23 rebounds and 6 blocks. Who said that O'Neal went downhill, and O'Neal completely proved himself in these preseason games.

The scoring leader McGrady also scored 40 points very brutally.

The two scored 80 points together.

In addition to the team's Adrian - Griffin's 20 points.

Their OMG combination blasted 100 points and killed the Bobcats.Beat the entire Bobcats team with just three players.

Bobcats:
Finley 20 points, Kenyon Martin 16 points, Wallace 12 points,
易建连出场20分钟，10中3，6分2篮板4失误，比赛中更是被奥尼尔盖了3次之多。

After the game, Bickerstaff said to the media, "Look, are you satisfied?"

After that, the public opinion became even worse, and Yi Jianlian was brought to the forefront.

The more the pass, the more outrageous it became, and it turned out that Yi Jianlian was the reason for the Bobcats' loss.

Yi Jian took only a few shots in three consecutive games, and somehow became the chief culprit for the Bobcats' three preseason losses.

"Yi didn't live up to his talent!"

"Compared to Li, Yao, and Wang, Yi's performance in entering the league is still far worse."

"Michael's selection vision finally went wrong."
