Chapter 234 Little Flying Squirrel Swipes Up (1010) Begging for a Monthly Ticket, Recommended Ticket!

April 3

The Bobcats will usher in the bottom one in the league at home, the challenge of the Hornets.

In this game, the Bobcats are not only likely to end their losing streak, but also the debut of the team's new aid, Damon Stoudemire.

For the flying squirrel Stoudemire to join the Bobcats, although many playoff teams in the league feel a pity, they also let out a long breath in their hearts.

After all, compared to joining the Bobcats, it is better than joining some already strong teams.

Because that may directly disrupt the current structure of the league, and even if the Bobcats have Stoudemire, at the very least, it is not enough to have a direct impact on the ownership of the championship.

This season, the Bobcats and the Hornets have played several times, but in the previous fight, there is no suspense that the Bobcats won the final game.

Because the lineup gap between the two teams is really too big.

The entire Hornets team currently has only one star, and that is the bearded Davis.

But in the recent game, Davis also had a truce due to a back injury.

This also makes the Hornets now dedicated to honing young players, making it even less worth mentioning.

The entire Hornets have only won two games since February.

And in these two games, there was another victory against the Eagles, which ranked second to last in the league.

The other team that lost was the Rockets. Under the leadership of the bearded Baron Davis, the Hornets defeated the Rockets in that game.

It was also the only two wins in the past month.

In this game, Liu Rui chose to let the team's veteran Smith and Jefferson on the bench take turns.

So far this season, with the joining of Damon Stoudemire, the players in the backcourt have also begun to become sufficient.

As the oldest person on the team, Smith's greatest role is of course his valuable experience and rhythm in the playoffs.

Although it is not known whether the Bobcats will make it to the playoffs this season, Liu Rui still chose to let him rest for the sake of conservatism.

And Jefferson has always had potential injuries. Facing the underdog Hornets in this game, Liu Rui didn't take it seriously at all.

Therefore, there is no need to let Jefferson play on the field. The best way to protect him is to let him rest directly.

After the start of the game, the two sides announced their starting lineups:
Bobcats:
Mo Williams, Martin, Ariza, Wallace, Wang Zhizhi.

Hornets:
Wesley, JR Smith, Garcia, David West, Birdman Anderson.

After the two sides announced their starting lineups, Liu Rui saw that the Hornets' lineup was really shabby.

Although whether it is JR Smith or David West, their future achievements are quite good.

But so far it's just a rookie.

Except for the point guard Wesley, the starting five players of the entire Hornets team are all rookies, which makes it difficult for Liu Rui not to underestimate the enemy.

Also because of Jefferson's rest in this game, Liu Rui did not use Okafor to continue as the starter.

Instead, Wang Zhizhi was directly mentioned in the starting lineup, because if there is no restraint from Jefferson on the bench, Wang Zhizhi will not have many shots.

Instead of putting him on the bench, it is better to mention him in the starting lineup. After all, in the starting lineup, whether it is Kevin Martin, Wallace, or Mo Williams, they all have the ability to tear the defense.

It can allow Wang Zhizhi to get more opportunities to shoot.

And on the bench, Okafor, who has absolute ability, and Stoudemire, the flying mouse, can make the Bobcats maintain a super high threat even if the main lineup is not there.

After the opening, there really wasn't much suspense. Facing a group of rookies from the Hornets, at the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats said:
35:21
Leading the Hornets by 14 points.

In this game, the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi, who was mentioned as the starter, scored 4 points and 2 rebound in 6 of 1 from beyond the three-point line in the first quarter.

Faced with the chance of an open three-pointer, Wang Zhizhi's shooting has become more and more decisive compared to when he first joined the team.

And the stability of shooting is gradually increasing.

This is also very gratifying to Liu Rui.

Originally, Liu Rui was thinking before, if the Bobcats really made it to the playoffs, about this point, whether to activate it or not.

Because many times faced with open shots, Wang Zhizhi's performance is still not stable enough.

On the defensive end, he will still be the target of others, because compared to other people, his current body is really a little thin.

It is very easy to be targeted by the opponent on the defensive end.

However, as Dazhi's three-pointers on the offensive end became more and more stable.

Facing open opportunities, he was able to throw the ball without shaking his hands, which also allowed Liu Rui to re-plan for this team.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Bobcats rookie Damon Stoudemire finally ushered in his Bobcats career debut.

At present, the most capable player of the entire Hornets is either injured or has been mentioned in the starting lineup.

This also led the Hornets to use Harrington, a very poor defensive guard, on the backup point guard.

Although the little flying mouse Stoudemire is currently playing as a substitute for the Bobcats to grab points.

But after all, before this, he has always been the starting point guard of the Trail Blazers, and so far this season, he has also averaged 15 points per game.

Facing a point guard of this level, Little Flying Squirrel certainly didn't pay attention.

In the second quarter, Liu Rui also fulfilled his promise and gave him enough playing time.

And let the team try to cooperate with him to complete more offenses.

This is also the main reason why Liu Rui chose to put Okafor on the bench, because compared to Wang Zhizhi, Okafor has a strong coping ability on the bench.

His passing can help Stoudemire complete more scoring opportunities.

Throughout the second quarter, Liu Rui let Stoudemire play for 10 minutes, and with the cooperation of his teammates, this completely beat the flying mouse.

斯塔德迈尔在第二节单节9投5中，三分线外4中1，罚球3中2，就砍下13分2篮板1助攻的数据。

The whole person brushing on the field is simply not too pleasant.

This made Stoudemire tremble with excitement. After all, this kind of play was of course unthinkable in the Trail Blazers before.

The entire Trail Blazers is currently building a team around Randolph.

Randolph, as another well-known data brush in the league, at least before he joined the Grizzlies, he was indeed a real data brush.

Every game, Randolph's shots are not enough, how could Stoudemire play like this on the court.

So after the whole second quarter, with the cooperation of his teammates, the little flying mouse played very happily.

Not only did it allow him to find his personal offensive rhythm faster on the court, but it also made him believe more and more in Liu Rui's previous promise to him...
