NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Just like Van Gundy said.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic's offense became sharper.

As soon as he came up, Howard dunked and took the lead.

Turkoglu and Lewis each scored a three-pointer.

A small climax of 8:0.

The point difference widened almost instantly.

Everyone felt that Zhou Yao should appear at this time.

Or at least put Jr. and Durant on the court.

At the very least, calling a timeout is always necessary.

The strange thing is that Zhou Yao did nothing.

It's as if the leading side is the Bobcat.

But then, the Bobcats' players seemed to prove with practical actions that there was no problem with the coach's trust in them.

at this time.

The Bobcats' players on the field are point guard Jose Barea, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward P.J. Tucker, power forward Kenyon Martin, and Luis Scola was moved to the center position. .

Almost, every position is shorter than the opponent.

Moreover, with such a configuration, the offensive firepower can be said to be quite average.

However, they relied on their stalking tactics to drag the Magic's offensive firepower down to the same level as them.

Then we use our rich experience to bring the score closer.

It's not that they have more experience in the game, but they have more experience in this inefficient style of play.

Van Gundy also quickly noticed the changes on the field.

He also wanted to make adjustments, but in the end he was still half a beat too slow.

The Magic players became impatient and their movements became louder.

When Van Gundy finally made adjustments.

Howard has already committed 3 fouls, and Turkoglu has also committed 3 fouls.

Arroyo and Lewis each had 2 times.

Among the five starting players, only Bogans has yet to commit a foul.

However, he is also the one with the least playing time and the least points among the five.

Before Van Gundy made the substitution, Zhou Yao started to make the substitution.

Novak replaces Tucker.

Redick replaced Allen.

Zhou Yao himself replaced Barea.

Jr. and Durant remain off the court.

But everyone can also see that the Bobcats are going to step up their offense.

……

By halftime, the deficit had been erased.

Howard said he was having a hard time playing.

On the one hand, Howard experienced O'Neal's happiness.

Zhou Yao personally came to confront him, a big center.

It's nothing.

The Bobcats had serious internal problems before.

When encountering a team with a strong inside line, Zhou Yao would often personally fight against the opponent's center or power forward.

This is not the first time Howard has confronted Zhou Yao.

He is not the only center in the league who is restricted by point guard Zhou Yao in interior confrontations.

What really makes Howard feel the most uncomfortable is that he also lost to Zhou Yao when he was fighting for strength.

Of course, this isn't the first time.

However, as a center, his strength is not as good as that of a point guard, which still makes Howard feel shameless.

This summer, Howard also specially strengthened his strength training.

Now it seems that it is of little use.

This made Howard feel particularly uncomfortable.

……

Just when people thought the Bobcats would successfully win the game again.

The Bobcats' misfortune has not yet passed.

Mutombo is injured, and so is Rondo.

This is the first quarter.

Everything went smoothly in the second quarter.

But here comes the third quarter.

The first injured was Luis Scola.

This can be considered an old unlucky guy.

Back when I was still a Wizard.

Finals against the Trail Blazers.

This guy just stepped on his own feet when he landed.

Directly reimbursed for the season.

It also made his subsequent journey very difficult.

This time, this guy actually reappeared yesterday.

He jumped up again to fight for the rebound, and when he landed, he stepped on his own feet.

Then he fell to the ground in pain.

Just like in the finals that year.

Scola will be 28 years old soon.

As early as 2002, when he was just 22 years old, he entered the NBA.

As a second-round pick, his annual salary is $35.

Carlos Boozer, who joined the league in the same year as him, now earns more than 1000 million in salary with the Jazz.

And he.

I have played in Europe, the CBA, and Australia.

Now it's hard to return to the NBA.

This year’s salary is only 111 million.

There are only four people on the team with lower wages than him.

P.J. Tucker and Rajon Rondo's 76, Steve Novak and Jose Barea's 69.

But these four guys were all rookies last year.

Rondo and Barea were even undrafted.

The salaries of the team's two rookies this year are much higher than mine.

Not easy.

Scola finally gained the trust of head coach Zhou Yao, and his playing time and tactical arrangements have improved.

Everything is moving for the better.

As a result, he was injured again.

Moreover, he was still stupid enough to hurt himself.

In Scola's view, perhaps, his basketball ideal is almost coming to an end.

The national team did not call him up for the 06 World Championships.

The Olympics are just a few months away.

The national team may not need itself even more.

……

"Three people were injured in one game."

"And Oden was put on the injured list for no reason."

"The next game for the Bobcats is not going to be easy."

Sure enough, ESPN's commentators never say anything good about the Bobcats.

However, even they took the Bobcats' misfortune too simply.

The third quarter is not over yet.

Steve Novak injured his groin.

We won't be able to count on him for some time to come.

And to the fourth quarter.

jr and lewis collided.

He hit his head when he fell to the ground and was not allowed to rest.

The team doctor's opinion was to send him to the hospital immediately.

There is a possibility of a mild concussion.

Jr said it didn't matter to him.

However, Zhou Yao still arranged to go to the hospital.

It's a good thing now. After a game, one person was injured in every position.

The good news is that the game was won.

There was also news from the hospital.

Jr's condition is not bad, he will be fine after a few days of rest.

The next opponents are not strong.

It wasn't until January 1th against the Cavaliers that they encountered a serious problem.

But by that time Jr. was able to return to the court.

Don't count on the others in the short term.

Especially the loss of Mutombo.

As a result, the team's inside line looks thin again.

It was originally planned to let Oden continue to adapt for a period of time before returning.

Now it seems that we can only make plans again.

However, Oden still cannot fully adapt to his new style of play.

If the game gets intense, nine times out of ten he will fall back on his old style of play.

This is not good for his growth.

It is also not good for maintaining his physical health.

To be honest, Zhou Yao does not want to take him off the injured list so soon.

Zhou Yao is still thinking about it.

However, the next development still forced Zhou Yao to make up his mind.

Many times, things do not develop exactly as planned...
