shooting guard era

Chapter 12 12. The first game in team history

Bobcats home room.

"Michael, what did you ask us to do here? To watch your rookie team play?" Sir Charles Barkley said in an exaggerated tone.

Of course, Barkley knew the reason why Jordan called them this time, but he wanted to make fun of Jordan. A second-round pick made him so happy.

Barkley and Jordan are mortal enemies on the court, but they have a very good relationship in private. After retiring, they often have fun together. He has always known that Jordan wants to buy a team. Although Jordan is just a small owner of the Bobcats now, Barkley believes that Jordan With its ability to absorb money, it will be a matter of time to buy the Bobcats. Now the big boss of the Bobcats just wants to rely on the Bobcats, an NBA team, to advertise his company.

"We have a very interesting kid on our team." Jordan laughed.

"Interesting kid? You mean that Chinese leaf?" Drexler obviously wanted to be more honest.

"Clyde, you are so boring, just as boring as when I first went to Houston." Buckley rolled his eyes.

"Look at it, he will surprise everyone!" Jordan cut the cigar and put it in his mouth with a very proud expression.

oh?Barkley and Drexler were a little surprised. It's really rare for Jordan to have such an evaluation of a rookie!
……

Bobcats starting: Blevin - Knight, Ye Han, Gerald - Wallace, Emeka - Okafor, Primoz - Brezek.

Eagles starting: Kenny - Anderson, Josh - Childress, Boris - Diaw, Josh - Smith, Jason - Creel.

The Eagles are starting, even worse than the Bobcats!
Nobody knows how they did it!It's actually worse than the lineup of a new army!Except for Dior, everyone has never heard of it. Josh Smith still made headlines once because of his status as the first-round pick this year, the headline of the first-round pick list.

Blazek and Creel jump ball in midfield!

Brezek passes the ball to Blevin Knight.

Blevin Knight quickly advanced up the court and threw it directly to the basket.

What style of play?
The fans at the scene were surprised. Could it be that Eddie House put on Blevin Knight's vest?Come up and fight?

Just when the ball was about to touch the ball, a yellow-skinned young man with white and blue vertical stripes on the 24th appeared next to the basket and blasted the ball into the basket!

Opening lob dunk!
Knight saw Ye Han, who was playing extremely fast, understood, and sent the ball directly, a cooperation full of imagination and execution!
There was silence for three seconds, and then a huge cheer erupted.

Bobcats fans only saw Ye Han's performance in Miami on TV, and thought it was so unreal, but now that he really saw it, the entire Time Warner Center was boiling!

Even in the heyday of the Hornets in Charlotte, they have never seen such a performance from their own team. It can only be described as amazing!
Ye Han calmly clapped his hands with Blevin Knight. This kind of dunking was commonplace for him, but he changed to a world-class stage, and he was not nervous at all, which surprised even himself.

This is what Jordan called the instinct of the strong!
The game continues!

Such dunks boost morale, but the game has to be played one ball at a time. The Eagles look determined to play badly, but basketball is round, and anything can happen.

The decision-making of the management and the players don't care, the players are going to win the game, the first game in team history, no one wants to lose!
The Hawks were attacking, and Ye Han was defending Josh Childress, a shooting guard?Too high!Definitely more than the [-] meters mentioned in the information!He looks taller than [-]'[-] power forward Josh Smith!Just not that strong.

Childress registered at the same position as Ye Han, shooting guard.

Show Six...

As the No. [-] pick, he was naturally a key player for the Eagles. Kenny Anderson dribbled the ball to Childress after halftime, and Ye Han defended alone.

Ye Han defended very hard, using Childress as Wade to defend.

Ye Han just wanted to prove one thing, he is the strongest shooting guard in this draft!

Childress has an afro head like corn silk, dark skin, and a tall and thin figure.

Childress singles, this height, but also has the speed and agility of a guard, it is not unreasonable for Childress to be selected with the sixth overall pick.

Childress dribbled well, but he was too tall, his center of gravity was too high, and the frequency of dribbling was too slow, the ball was shot off by Ye Han!
Ye Han cast "Death Coil", stealing it head-on!

Ye Han dribbled to the frontcourt by himself, chasing a three-pointer!
Missed, but Gerald Wallace, who followed up, picked up an offensive rebound and made a layup.

5 to 0.
Like the mercenaries like the Bobcats, most of the Eagles players can't stay in the NBA.But they all want a chance to stay in the NBA, so they cherish every game and go all out in every game.

Hawks continue to attack, according to the coach's arrangement, Kenny - Anderson once again gave the ball to Childress.

The Eagles moved aggressively, Blevin Knight was notoriously poor defensively, Kenny Anderson ran out of space and asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle, but Childress missed the pass!

Childress has no passing ability at all!Only attack!

But Childress is not the type of ball-handling singles. He can dribble, but when he is misplaced, due to his height, during the NCAA period, the coach actually used him as a power forward who can shoot. Although the style of play is a shooting guard, in the NBA, he does not have the ability of a shooting guard in today's era!
Aiming at the ball Childress was dribbling, Gerald Wallace, who sneaked over to double-team, was very quick and knocked off the ball in Childress's hand. Ye Han was already ready, and picked up the ball again Steal!

Pass the ball to Blevin Knight.

Ye Han followed up.

Blevin Knight threw the ball into the air, and Ye Han, who followed up, smashed the ball into the basket with all his might.

The baskets are creaking!

7 to 0.
The Eagles attacked again, and this time Childress found Gerald Wallace who was double-teaming him. He passed the ball and passed the ball to Diaw, who was in an air cut. Diaw was still very conscious as an international player, and ran up basket.

Miss!Brezek's [-]m tall man still has a certain deterrent power in the paint!

Okafor grabbed a defensive rebound, the Hawks retreated faster, the Bobcats didn't start their fast break, and fell into a positional battle.

The positional warfare will be handed over to Blevin Knight to organize.

Blevin Knight gestured, Ye Han stepped forward, blocked Kenny Anderson, and then cut into the inside lane with Blevin Knight.

Pick and roll hit the rim?

After the Eagles were dunked twice by Ye Han, everyone thought that Ye Han was going to play an alley-oop. This kind of combination is relatively common in the NBA. The most famous one is the cooperation between Kobe and O'Neal. After clipping the ball to O'Neill dunks.

So everyone inside the Eagles rushed towards Ye Han.

Okafor is empty!
Blevin Knight made an easy ground pass, and Okafor dunked the ball with both hands.

9 is better than 0!

The eagle called a timeout!
Coach Mike Woodson has a headache. Starting his coaching career with a bad team is a very bad resume for his coaching career. Maybe he will be regarded as a professional bad coach in the future.

In front of the Eagles, the Bobcats are not like a new army at all, but the Eagles are like a new army, allowing the Bobcats to play a dominant offensive and defensive performance.

This is what a bad team should do, but Josh Childress, the No. -Smith.

Logically speaking, Josh Smith should be the focus.

Although at the beginning they only paid attention to Josh Smith's unfathomable physical fitness, which was even more explosive than last year's super genius who was comparable to a half-orc, but who knew that Josh Smith's dribbling and inside skills were very good. good!
Compared with Childress, he has shown a parallel import temperament since the summer league. Except for his agility advantage in shooting and misaligning some inside players, he is not worthy of the status of the No. [-] pick in other aspects.This is the NBA, how can there be so many open shots for him?He can hit the opponent's paint with agility, but his defense is a cash machine.

Mike Woodson's management suggested that the team focus on training Josh Smith. He could see the gap between the two in team training and summer league.

But that was the No. [-] show!The Eagles management is still looking forward to the so-called potential. It is rare for such a tall man to have such flexibility, and then naturally ignores Josh Smith's better talent.

The management's arrangement, the head coach can't go against it, he can only find a way to make this potential rookie play better.
