Chapter 255: The Contest of Listening Attentively
O'Neal was pinned down and exhausted, and at his current age, his stamina had begun to decline, and for a few rounds he could barely follow up to defend against pick-and-rolls, and once the time went on, he was out of breath and stood still.
The defensive end also affected the offensive end, and O'Neal no longer had that much physical strength to pull out the world.
Without the inside pillar, the players' side will be chaotic and lose points one after another. O'Neal applied to go off the court before the third quarter was played, Howard ushered in the opportunity to play, and Sabonis, his old god was on the sidelines, and he didn't want to play if he didn't play.
After Howard came up, he knew how big the gap was between himself and the real NBA star, and his best job of grabbing rebounds was like child's play in front of Ewing, how O'Neal singled Ewing just now, how Ewing singled Howard now, casually squeezed, poor Howard was squeezed around, and watched Ewing Gorilla dunk with his arm hung.
The game started in a very tense situation, but in the end it ended hastily, and the team of famous players had won more than 15 points in the final quarter, and the players came up with either rookies or substitutes, and the game lost its suspense.
In the end, the competition turned into a teaching competition, and everyone was happy. In fact, Hu Qingniu believes that the player team still has to play if they really want to play their strength, except for O'Neal who played most of the game seriously, the other players did not play much, Wade must have released the water, giggling on the field, after all, the opposite is the master, and the others are seniors. Dazhi is also a bit incognito, with his range, he can cause some trouble for Karl Malone, but Dazhi did some tiring work all over the field and didn't make much of a move.
In short, when the celebrity team wins, both fans and journalists are happy, and the older generation is always more popular. The story of the old man is also touching to read.
"The strength of the Dream Team has not diminished back then, led by Joe and Mo, and the old man is also crazy when he staged! 》
A hot news after the TNT game caused a heated discussion among fans around the world, who lamented that the years are not old, and the people are still the same.
At the beginning of the new season, the Bobcats stole the limelight from all the teams, and before they knew it, the Bobcats no longer felt that this was a new team that had only been in the league for a year.
In the eyes of fans, this team seems to be a constant topic of conversation, the team reached the top four in the East in its first season, and later entered the Eastern Conference Finals, after the defeat in the Eastern Conference Finals, head coach Hu Qingniu actually led the Argentine team to successfully revenge Larry Brown in the Olympics. During the free market, he picked up the big shark O'Neal and selected three first-round picks, including the first-round pick Howard.
Now, at the beginning of the new season, the news of the reorganization of the Dream First team has attracted everyone's attention again.
Compared to the rest of the league, the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks, who have historically been media darlings, both seem to be bleak in front of the Bobcats. The current Bobcats faintly make people feel that there is a hint of information about the giants. If nothing else, let's talk about this management and coaching staff lineup that is unique among all teams in the league, and it is absolutely star-studded.
Hu Qingniu is now wondering if he should apply to the league to hold a staff game during the NBA All-Star Weekend, where the management and coaching staff of each team will also participate in the game. This kind of game is not for the Bobcats to win.
In the preseason, Hu Qingniu mainly practiced troops, and he never took his preseason record seriously, looking at his starting lineup.
The first game was a little more normal, it was Wade, Bale, Josh, Dazhi, Howard. In this game, O'Neal played 25 minutes off the bench and scored 19 points and 8 rebounds, but the team still lost to the Suns 102-122.
Hu Qingniu's instructions are not to defend, play casually, the purpose of the preseason is to dredge the muscles and bones of the players, don't rust after an offseason, and Hu Qingniu's method is to play casually when everyone is on the field.
He doesn't worry about the regular season record, he cares about the integration of these rookies in the team, Howard, Josh, Ariza, Tony Allen are all rookies with good potential, and their rapid growth can multiply the Bobcats' strength.
As for O'Neal, an old fritter, he shouted tired and wanted to rest after playing the first preseason game, and Hu Qingniu went to him. The second and third games were all away, so O'Neal stayed in Charlotte and didn't have to travel with the team.
O'Neal didn't come, and in the second game against the 76ers, Hu Qingniu's lineup was more casual.
Alston, Tony Allen, Ariza, Josh, and Howard started together, and all four rookies played.
Good guys, these four people almost didn't smash the 76ers' home court frame down. Bell, bell, the 76ers home fans were shocked by the sound of the iron and almost lost their ears on the court.
Looking at the technical statistics after the game, my god, Howard shot 3 of 15, Josh shot 1 of 6, Tony Allen shot 0 of 9, and Ariza shot 0 of 11.
Hu Qingniu looked at this data sheet, he couldn't help scratching his head, he was hypnotized by the iron march in the game, and he only found out that these four guys were so good at iron now that the game was over.
The score was 55-93, my God, the Bobcats didn't score more than 60, and it was a game to listen to. Howard curled up in the corner of the locker room with Josh, Ariza, and Allen embarrassedly, and Hu Qingniu looked at their pitiful appearance and had to say something.
"Patrick, these guys will practice 500 shots after every normal training session in the future."
It's good to die, the four rookies selected by Hu Qingniu are all rough brothers, and shooting is the weakness of their weaknesses. But Brother Rough and Brother Rough are good, since the technology is so rough, Hu Qingniu can still choose them for a certain reason.
These four guys are all beasts, just ask Ewing, now Howard is dragging a truck tire around in the morning and can come back in an hour. The other three didn't do much either.
Josh Smith's running and jumping ability is top-notch, and Hu Qingniu has seen him dunk with his head half a head over the frame. Ariza is not only in good health, his learning ability is the best of the four, at first his shooting hand is very strange, less than a week under the double whip of Payton and Malone, he has been able to shoot in a standard position, although the shooting percentage is not complimentary, but in addition to the shooting posture, dribbling and getting rid of his technical movements are gradually standard.
Only Howard, whose arm movements are always wide open and close, cannot be learned when encountering a more delicate technique. For example, the hook hand can directly hook the ball behind the rebound, and Ewing is so angry that he stands aside with a baseball bat every day to intimidate him.
But amazingly, Howard learns his footwork quickly, turning and moving well under the basket. The reason for this is that Hu Qingniu thinks that Howard's upper body muscles may be too stiff.
