NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 399 400. Rough Growth (seeking monthly ticket)

The Bobcats players performed exceptionally well in this game, especially the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi who was put on the starting lineup by Liu Rui.

Wang Zhizhi played up to 33 minutes in the whole game, and 33 minutes also set a new high for Wang Zhizhi's career.

在出场的33分钟时间里，大致个人14投8中，三分球9中4，罚球2中1，砍下了21分5篮板2助攻的高能数据。

Although he is still at a complete disadvantage against Randolph on the defensive end, there is still a long way to go at this point, but on the offensive end, he has generally become more stable.

It's hardly 01:30 better than when he first joined the Bobcats.

Now receiving a pass from a teammate from beyond the three-point line, the confidence in shooting has been greatly improved.

For a role player, the confidence in shooting is particularly important when he is at a disadvantage in all aspects.

Otherwise, once the opportunity comes out, it will become timid, which will only drag down the team's offensive rhythm.

Except for Wang Zhizhi, the other rookies in this game are also perfect.

Louis Williams, who played as a starter for the first time this season, completed a personal performance in this game.

全场18投11中，三分球7中2，罚球8中7，砍下了31分2篮板4助攻的爆炸数据。

31 points in a single game also successfully created Lu Wei's personal career high.

After all, Louis Williams usually played the least amount of time among all the rookies, so it was rare that Liu Rui gave him a chance to play as a starter.

This also allowed him to play very energetic throughout the game, coupled with the poor defense of the Trail Blazers, allowing Lu Wei to successfully complete a personal offensive show.

In terms of inside, Zaza Pachulia, who has not had much playing time this season, also played satisfactory data.

全场比赛帕楚里亚出场了24分钟，各人7投4中，罚球3中2，拿下了10分11篮板外加2次封盖的两双数据。

And Pachulia also has great development potential in passing, which was demonstrated when the Warriors were the starting center.

If it wasn't for being too dirty on the court, Pachulia could serve as a rotation player on any team.

However, there are too many newcomers with potential in the Bobcats, so Liu Rui can leave Pachulia with limited growth opportunities.

What's more, Pachulia's contract this season is already the last year, so Liu Rui doesn't have much patience to train him. At most, he is allowed to play more during garbage time to collect some statistics.

Whether it's a trade in the middle of the season, or it comes in handy at a critical moment, it's better than being a real water cooler keeper.

In any case, Pachulia's personal strength can still make him an NBA-level player, but the rookies of the Bobcats are too dazzling, so in this case, Pachulia's light is even more covered by people.

Compared with the Bobcats' multi-point blooming, the Blazers' performance in this game has been struggling.

Even Zach Randolph, the team's top scorer, only scored 23 points and 9 rebounds.

Although this data alone is considered relatively good, but when the data of Wang Zhizhi and Wang Zhizhi are put together, then Randolph, as the head star of a team, this data is indeed a bit unreasonable.

And because the Bobcats also beat their opponents by 37 points in this game, after the game, this incident also attracted a large number of media to visit.

Not to mention that it is only a few years in the era of blacksmithing, even in the small ball era of later generations, winning a team by 37 points in a single game is definitely a proper league headline.

So in this era, being able to win a single game by nearly 40 points, the impact of this kind of thing is simply not too big.

So when Liu Rui came to the news interview room after the game, the whole room was already full of people.

Looking around, there are all kinds of beautiful men and women. Everyone is either carrying a big machine on their shoulders, or holding a small camera to record and take pictures.

This made Liu Rui feel a little dazed for a moment.

"Coach Liu Rui, the Bobcats beat the Trail Blazers by as much as 37 points in this game and successfully set a record for the difference in a single game this season. What is your evaluation of the players' performance in this game?"

Liu Rui had just walked into the meeting room, before his buttocks sat on the chair, the reporters below had already started asking questions.

"First of all, I am very satisfied with the performance of the players in this game. Whether they are rookies or veteran players, they all have their own unique contributions on the court."

"Every player understands what he needs to do within the limited playing time, which is very important for a player."

"As for creating the record for the largest point difference in a single game this season, this is obviously an affirmation of the Bobcats' offensive end. Although this is the first time, it will definitely not be the last time."

"Because behind all these honors are the sweat of the players squandering on the training ground. Except for our coaching staff, no one knows how much effort they have put in for all of this."

In the face of media interviews, Liu Rui also added fuel and vinegar to the players' usual training.

Because if this is the talent of the players, at most it will be envied by other fans, which is far from the effect he wants for Liu Rui.

And if these words are changed to the result of the players squandering countless water changes behind their backs, it will not only make the fans feel great and hard, but also make the league pay attention to the Bobcats again.

After all, no one will not like a team that is talented and willing to work hard.

This is like why those contestants always sell miserably on variety shows, because when success comes too easily, not only will it not make others show support for you, but it may also cause people to resist.

"Why do I work so hard and fail, but you obviously don't work hard but succeed in a mess? It's not fair."

And if it is an ordinary person who has experienced many setbacks, he finally got such a chance of success.

This will not only successfully arouse people's compassion, but also remind people of something that they have also worked hard for, and eventually resonate.

"Then Coach Liu Rui, you also arranged for the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi to start this game, and his performance was also amazing. What is your opinion of this Chinese compatriot?!"

Wang Zhizhi's outstanding performance in this game has not only attracted the attention of Chinese fans.

It also got some attention from the local media in the United States. After all, besides Yao Ming, this is one of the few yellow players in the league.

"Wang Zhizhi's personal improvement is very obvious, because I also sent him to the Development League for a short period of time before. I am very pleased that he has also grown a lot during this period."

"Now he has greatly improved on both ends of the offense and defense, especially on the offensive end, he can help the team do more things."

"So this game will definitely not be a flash in the pan for Wang Zhizhi, and he will continue to play more exciting games in the future."

"Because Wang Zhizhi's soft touch is not available to most insiders in the current league. As we all know, the Bobcats are a team that likes to shoot three-pointers, so Wang Zhizhi's help to the team is also obvious."

In the face of media interviews, Liu Rui also praised Wang Zhizhi without hesitation.

Try to push Wang Zhizhi into the public view as much as possible, so that even if Wang Zhizhi leaves Liu Rui one day, he can still get a stable contract from other teams.

Wang Zhizhi's character is destined to experience many ups and downs in the NBA, and it is even difficult to become the core of a team in the true sense.

But as Liu Rui said in an interview, Wang Zhizhi has a soft touch that most insiders in the league do not have, and he is definitely a good player when threatening outside the three-point line.

Coupled with the appearance of Liu Rui, it also made the current league pay more attention to outside three-point shooting in advance.

So as long as Wang Zhizhi can achieve the ultimate in these seemingly simple things, it will not be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the NBA in the future...
