NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

The regular season has begun.

The Bobcats don't need to play the opener.

10 month 30 day.

The Bobcats ushered in the first game.

Challenge the Cavaliers away from home.

Prior to this, the Cavaliers had just educated the Celtics in Boston.

Let them know what it means to be called a giant team.

James played less than 30 minutes.

17 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 block.

Everyone knows that with James' strength, it is easy to get another rebound in the remaining time.

But James obviously doesn't have much interest in this.

Jr. scored 35 points and O'Neal scored 21 points.

99: 71.

The Cavaliers won this game easily.

The regular season has just begun.

Even O'Neal, who is 36 years old, is at his most physically fit at this time.

With the big win in the last game, I am actually full of confidence.

Moreover, in the past Olympics, James became the second person who could prevent Zhou Yao from shooting a three-pointer.

This gave the Cavaliers a lot of confidence.

"In the East, our only opponent right now is the Bobcats."

"The Heat and the Celtics are no match for us now."

"And since we have O'Neal, it's hard for the Magic to cause trouble for us."

"This game is a competition between our two teams to see which one can reach the finals."

"I know it's just a regular season game."

“And it’s an early-season regular-season game.”

"The Bobcats' lineup should still be adjusting."

"We can't count anything like preseason games."

"After all, we all know that the Bobcats with Zhou Yao and the Bobcats without Zhou Yao are two completely different teams."

"Furthermore, although Lue and Cole are both good, after all, they are both people who have never really been a head coach."

“It’s still much worse in terms of experience.”

"Although they are much older than Zhou Yao."

Head coach Mike Brown gave his players a pep talk.

He is not yet 39 years old and can be considered a young head coach in the league.

Of course, he is still much older than Zhou Yao.

……

Game start.

The Bobcats' lineup is a bit strange.

None of these five people have started in the preseason.

Point guard Zhou Yao, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Nicolas Batum, power forward Leon Anderson, and center DeAndre Jordan.

Zhou Yao did not play in the preseason.

Nick Young is considered too unique in his style of play, and Batum and Anderson are both rookies this year.

One is the No. 28 pick, and the other is better and is only the No. 27 pick.

DeAndre Jordan is also a rookie this year. Although he is the No. 5 pick, his skills are considered too rough.

In short, in the preseason, these players did not gain the trust of Lue and Cole.

However, even if Zhou Yao wants to establish the authority of the head coach, there is no need to do the opposite!

Many fans are sweating for the Bobcats.

We can only take a look before talking.

……

The Cavaliers took the lead in attacking.

Maurice Williams carefully dribbled the ball across half court.

He was a teammate with Zhou Yao. To be precise, he was a substitute for Zhou Yao.

He was the Bobcats' first-generation backup point guard.

He also knows Zhou Yao's strength best.

You have to be careful when dribbling the ball yourself.

Always beware of Zhou Yao's steals.

As of last season, Zhou Yao's total number of steals has reached an astonishing 2417.

There are only three great gods ahead of Zhou Yao.

Gary Payton at 2440, Michael Jordan at 2514.

With Zhou Yao's efficiency, he can surpass these two this season.

Then there is John Stockton of 3265.

Zhou Yao scored a crazy 516 steals last season.

In fact, Zhou Yao had 406 steals in his rookie season.

Even in the two seasons with the fewest steals, he still leads the league in steals.

It's based on his least efficient season.

In three seasons, surpassing Stockton will not be a problem.

William Mo is not a particularly good point guard.

But this was also the first ball of the game, and he didn't want to be intercepted so easily.

Soon, an opportunity presented itself.

There was a hole in Nick Young's defense against Jr.

To be precise, Jr. successfully got rid of Nick Young's defense by running without the ball and covering James.

Jr.'s three-point shooting percentage is over 40%, and his two-point shooting percentage is even higher.

Being able to be knocked out of the open space by him is definitely an opportunity.

However, when it was time to pass the ball, Mo William hesitated.

Could this be a trap?

William Mo was a little undecided.

But in the end, he still chose to pass the ball.

Under Zhou Yao's guard, he had no chance to make a move.

Moreover, 24 seconds is almost here.

However, his hesitation gave Nick Young a chance.

Nick Young is not a very good defensive player.

His height, wingspan, and athletic ability determine that he can become an excellent defender.

But it's obvious that his willingness to defend has never been high.

He can't always keep up with his opponents.

He also has a bad habit of attacking rashly.

This makes his defensive quality not high.

Jr's running without the ball has been practiced very well.

And James took the initiative to cover for him.

It's normal for Nick Young to be unable to catch up.

However, William Mo’s hesitation gave him a chance.

That's the way it is.

Opportunities are always fleeting.

William Mo’s hesitation delayed time.

As a result, the opportunity that originally belonged to Jr. became an opportunity for Nick Young.

"Snapped--"

Jr.'s almost certain goal was slapped down by Nick Young.

Last season with the Wizards, he played a full season and played 75 games.

Nick Young only blocked 7 shots in total.

I didn’t expect that this was the Bobcats’ first game.

In less than 30 seconds, Nick Young blocked a shot.

Nick Young is not a defensive warrior.

But it still feels good.

He was a little excited.

Nick Young is very confident in his talent in basketball.

However, even he himself could hardly say he was satisfied with his performance with the Wizards last season.

The team boss is out for the season.

As a rookie, he had plenty of opportunities.

There have also been highlights.

But the season is over.

He is just an ordinary rookie who averages less than 8 points per game and does not even have a guaranteed starting position.

And he also lost the trust of the head coach.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been traded to the Bobcats so easily.

In other words, that multi-party transaction, no matter how you look at it, is just a balancing act.

He's excited to come to the Bobcats.

It is said that newcomers who can be chosen by Bobcats have a bright future.

He was also happy to start the first game.

He performed well right from the start, which made him even happier.

Nick Young is not a guy who likes to defend very much.

But every coach will tell him that his physical talent can definitely grow into a defensive warrior.

By the way, the head coach of the Bobcats, who is less than a year older than him, said the same thing.

Maybe, I do have talent in this area.

Even Nick Young himself is wondering whether he should really work hard in this direction...
