NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 11 Spatial Inside Lines

"Yes! Coach, I will definitely live up to your expectations!!" When Bernard Robinson learned that he would be the team's starter, he couldn't close his mouth in shock.

He even suspected that he had heard it wrong, and dared not answer for a long time. It was not until he heard Liu Rui's advice that he was convinced that he had really become the team's starting shooting guard! !

I'm just a second-round pick, and I don't have any strengths. There are so many talented players in the team. Before this, I thought I could only play in garbage time. I didn't expect the coach to trust me so much since he left the two seniors Smith and Rush.

And even if it was because of Smith and Rush's poor defense, Hart was still sitting underneath, so it shouldn't be his turn.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! !Although I am very nervous, I must not embarrass the coach! !Even if I can't make the shot, I can't let the opponent score easily on my head! !
After making the arrangement, Liu Rui sat leisurely on the bench, took out a bag of fruit from somewhere, and was ready to eat it? !Bananas, oranges, grapes...

On the contrary, Bickerstaff stood beside the edge line and walked back and forth. This is the first game since the team was founded! !
Just as Piccolo wanted to check with Liu Rui if he really did not miss anything, he looked back and saw that Liu Rui had picked up a piece of orange and put it in his mouth? ? ?
"Come on, Piccolo, this orange is not sour at all, would you like a piece?"

Bickerstaff's eyes widened: "Please, this is our first game since the establishment of the team. The players are all very excited and nervous. Since you are eating oranges here?? Are you not worried at all?"

"Ah, what are you worried about? I'm worried that there is nowhere to throw the orange peels."

"..."

"Hey, Director Zhang, take a look. Is the one sitting on the Bobcats bench Chinese? Why do I look so Chinese?" Sun Zhengping rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dazzled, and kept reminding Zhang Weiping to take a look.

"Don't tell me, this seems to be really Chinese. This is unreasonable. The Bobcats' 16-man roster has no Chinese names, and I haven't heard of any domestic players being selected by the NBA. What's going on?" Let alone Zhang Weiping, even the Chinese in front of the TV looked confused.

"Hey! Xiao Hei, turn on the TV and watch it. There is a Chinese sitting on the Bobcat's bench. Watch it!!"

"What? Real or fake? Don't lie to me, I'll just see, shit, where is my remote control?"

Similar scenes are happening in various cities in China. Everyone is staring at the TV in front of them like a curious baby. What the hell is he? ?

"No, this does not seem to be a player. He is holding a tactical board in his hand!! And Bickerstaff seems to have been standing next to him just now. Could it be that he is the mysterious head coach of the Bobcats!?" Sun Zhengping cheered, since there is a Chinese head coach in the league! !This is big news in China! !

Because of Yao Ming, domestic attention to the NBA has risen a lot. After this game, no matter whether the Bobcats win or lose, it is certain that he will be popular! !
The starting lineups of the two sides are released:

Bobcats: House, Robinson, Kapono, Wallace, Brezek.

Raptors: Alston, Carter, Jalen Rose, Donnell Marshall, Bosh
"Hey, since Bosh is the starter instead of Wuzi or Arauyo." Liu Rui rubbed his chin, then smiled and threw two grapes into his mouth.

It seems that Mitchell attaches great importance to this game and wants to have a good start in his coaching career. He would rather use Bosh as the starting center than use a more suitable rookie player.

Both Bosh and Marshall are space-oriented insiders. The threat of the two on the offensive end at the same time is very great, but the defensive end is really at a disadvantage, especially the protection of backcourt rebounds will be even worse.

Liu Rui, who watched it, wanted to replace Okafor and make a big splash.

In his previous life, Bosh was enough space. Most of the points were scored through mid-range jumpers, and occasionally he would show off three-pointers and dunks.

But Marshall doesn't like confrontation even more. With a height of 206cm and only 6 career rebounds, the offensive end is willing to stand at two 45-degree angles and shoot three-pointers.

The previous life participated in 65 games this season, averaging 11.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

Hit 151 three-pointers in a single season. You have to know that an inside player in this era has made 151 three-pointers in a single season, averaging two points per game. How much do you prefer three-pointers? ?

Another player, Jalen Rose, is quite well-known. During his playing at the University of Michigan, Rose, together with Chris Webber, Juwan Howard and others, was known as the "Michigan Five Tigers" in the league.

It can be said that scoring is not much more difficult than eating. In his 30s, he could still average 18.5 points per game in this season in his previous life, but a problematic player retired sadly in 06.

The two sides jumped the ball, and Brezek jumped the ball back to the half court.

House dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Wallace.

Wallace stood still at the top of the arc, raised the ball with both hands above his head to observe the running position, and the other four people all pulled apart. Kapono and House stood at the two bottom corners respectively, and Blazek and Robinson stood at 45-degree angles on both sides.

As soon as they came up and set up this formation, the Raptors were a little confused for a moment!
what the hell is this?The center is standing outside the three-point line, and there is no one in the inner circle. What kind of routine is this? ?Unheard of ah!
Suddenly, Brezek and Robinson moved to the corners on both sides at the same time and made a pick-and-roll almost at the same time.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Blazek's size perfectly blocked a space for Kapono. Even though Rose tried his best to bypass Blazek to interfere, Kapono made a decisive shot with one step of space, and the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Swish!
Hollow into the net! 3:0
"YES!" Bickerstaff, standing on the sidelines, shook his arm vigorously.

And Mitchell, who was standing on the sidelines of the Raptors, was about to turn black. Are you not playing according to the routine? ?

You sent out such a starting lineup, which disrupted all my pre-game deployments. Not to mention, five people stood outside the 5-point line, and a role player came out to take the first shot. It was still a 3-pointer. The key is that it still scored. Are you angry? ? !
At this time, the camera lens was shown to Liu Rui on the sidelines. At this moment, Liu Rui was finally not eating that damned orange. Wait... Where did he get a cup? ?milk tea? !

Can anyone tell me where he made the milk tea from? ? !
Bickerstaff sat next to Liu Rui and hurriedly hid aside in embarrassment, hey, I don't know him, really, believe me! !
