Chapter 510 Create a record

Although he did not win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, Roy has obviously further strengthened his confidence in the competition with his peers.After the All-Star Weekend, his personal data continued to improve, basically stabilizing at the level of 23+4+7. Most of the time, his name was written on the top of the official rookie list, not to mention the best rookie of the East Week. .

The main general is so vigorous, the others are naturally not far behind.These players that Chang Wei is optimistic about have basically performed well, especially Milicic, the big man who was once known as a parallel importer has already ranked among the league's second-rate insiders, and his average data per game has increased to 17.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.4 blocks.In fact, there are too many outstanding centers in the league now, and in another ten years, he can get an annual salary of more than 2000 million with such data.

However, the top-ranked teams in the East this year are very stable, and fortunately there have been no large-scale injuries, and occasional minor injuries have not affected the main players.Naturally, the entire Bobcats team will not be so dirty that they pray for their competitors to be injured. Not only that, but their actions on the court are also very clean, which is why there are no veterans in the team.

Still, the Bobcats moved up one place from eighth in the Eastern Conference, pushing the Nets to eighth.The Nets can still continue to rank among the top eight in the East, and Chang Wei has to say admiration, but their upper limit ends here.With Carter in the previous life, the Nets gradually began to decline at this time, not to mention that Carter is still partnering with the Raptors and Tracy McGrady!

After climbing to seventh in the Eastern Conference, Jackson really hopes to lead the team to another one, so that even in the playoffs, it will not directly become cannon fodder.It's a pity that the Bobcats are still as many as 5 games away from the sixth Pacers. This is not a gap that can be settled in one or two games.After Miller retired, the Pacers played well in the East relying on the combination of O'Neal and Harrington. Although they can't be regarded as a powerful team, they can always cause trouble for opponents in the playoffs.

This can't be helped, who can let others play well?The only thing the Bobcats can do is to follow the opponent's footsteps closely, win the games that should be won, and fight hard for the games that should not be won, waiting for the Pacers to make mistakes at any time.In fact, the Bobcats can play like this is indeed beyond the expectations of many people. Is it possible that this new team will enter the playoffs in the first year of its establishment?
Not counting the teams joined through the merger of the NBA and the ABA in ancient times, there is basically no team in the history of the league that made the playoffs in the first year of its establishment.Indeed, it is very difficult for a new team to reach the playoffs in the first year, because all aspects of the team need time to get on the right track, and the Bobcats are undoubtedly the luckiest one, because they Chang Wei was invited. Although Chang Wei did not agree to be the head coach of the team, he also made great contributions as the chief assistant.

The Bobcats players were very excited to be promoted to seventh in the East, but their excitement was quickly wiped out by continuous training.Jackson and Chang Wei have reached an agreement. It is obviously a very high requirement to enter the playoffs and play well in the first year. At least now the team's performance has reached expectations, so player training is relatively more important.

In addition to the starting five players, Chang Wei has also devoted a lot of effort to the bench players. In his opinion, an excellent rotation lineup is the key to any team's success.Although I have a lot of experience in the recovery of players' injuries, I still try not to get injured if I can avoid injuries. A wide range of rotations is undoubtedly the easiest and most effective way to avoid injuries to the main players.

Among the Bobcats' bench gangsters, Chang Wei is most optimistic about Ellis and Li, the two cores inside and outside.Chang Wei didn't intend to make the substitutes have the same offensive and defensive balance as the starting lineup. After persuading Jackson, he only had one requirement for the bench lineup. That's about it.

It is normal to be optimistic about Ellis and Li, because Chang Wei knows what heights they will reach.In fact, apart from them, most of the Bobcats bench players are functional players, and they are relatively simple. For example, Kapono is positioned as a pure three-point shooter. Yes, he has no defense, only three-pointers. Divide the ball; Allen is regarded as a pioneer in perimeter defense. After all, this guy's offense is completely negligible compared to defense; as for Max Hill, it is good to be a meat shield.

It seems that the upper limit of Ellis and Li is relatively high, and they are relatively comprehensive. Chang Wei naturally spent a lot of effort to help them grow.Fortunately, since the summer league, Ellis has gradually changed his style, from a pure assaulter to an all-round guard who can shoot, organize and defend. Of course, Chang Wei also made a plan for him to gain weight. However, Ellis still seems too thin, and his disadvantages in physical confrontation should be made up as soon as possible.

Although in Chang Wei's view, these little guys still have a lot of room for growth, but for the Bobcats, their current strength is basically enough.Regardless of the fact that the championship teams in the past few years have all come from the East, in fact, since Jordan left the Bulls, it has become a general trend in the league that the west is strong and the east is weak. The team entered the playoffs instead of picking the top eight in the Eastern and Western Conferences like it is now, which is not very fair to the Western Conference teams no matter how you look at it.

But this has nothing to do with the Bobcats. They even want to thank the league for only selecting the top eight in the Eastern and Western Conferences to enter the playoffs, otherwise they would probably be eaten to the bone.After several months of competition, all 82 regular season games have finally been played. The Bobcats have neither been able to go further, nor have they been chased by the chasers behind their buttocks. The record of 41 wins and 41 losses is enough for them to rank seventh in the Eastern Conference. , Such a record in the regular season made the team owner couldn't help but give out a generous bonus to the whole team.

Why do many teams desperately want to make the playoffs?In addition to the league giving bonuses to the playoff teams every year, the team can sell more tickets and peripherals, the players can get more training, and the head coach can make the team's cultural background, technical and tactical system more perfect, more cohesive.Even if it's only eighth in the division, even if it's about to be eliminated in the first round, most NBA teams are trying hard to get a playoff spot every year, unless they really want to be bad.

The Bobcats didn't intend to be bad, so they worked hard and successfully entered the playoffs in the first season of the team. Even if they were swept by their opponents in the first round, it was worth it. Their names have been engraved in the NBA. In history, this is glory.
