In the third game of the season, Qiao Hai went from being desperate in the second game to suddenly becoming very eager to win.

Therefore, before the game, he made a very detailed arrangement to deal with the Bucks, who are strong on the inside and strong on the outside, and Qiao Hai also did a very detailed study of the current coach of the Bucks, Terry Porter.

Terry Porter is not a successful coach, coaching the Bucks was the beginning of his coaching career, and his coaching style is balanced offensively and defensively.

Last season, he also led the team to the playoffs, and this season, with all the signings in the team, the Bucks are clearly looking to go one step further in the new season.

……

Qiao Hai wanted a victory, but this game was played until the fourth quarter of the game, and with 1 minute 02 seconds left in the end, the score of the two teams was still a 98-98 tie.

At the critical moment, the two teams played iron one after another, and on the home team's Bucks, Chris Bosh withstood the pressure, made a foul, and hit both free throws.

In the end, the Bucks relied on these two free throws to win the game.

In this game, the Bobcats' offense was obviously still there, but they couldn't stop the Bucks' offense, and they allowed Desmond Mason to score a game-high 31 points, Chris Bosh to have 26 points and 8 rebounds, and even Keith Van Horn had 23 points.

Although they couldn't win, the Bobcats didn't accept any criticism, because the Bobcats didn't play badly in this game, and they played away from home, which was the first away game in the history of the Bobcats.

Maybe the defense was a little bit worse, but their offense was still flashy.

Michael Reed had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Steve Blake had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists, Tian Zige had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, Gerald Wallace had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals, and Josh Smith had 8 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Andre Iguodala had 11 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, and Anfernee Hardaway had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists......

It is still a scene where many players have played, and the Bobcats only lost by two points in the end, and the opponent Bucks is not weak on paper, and is considered by most of the media to have the strength of the playoffs.

Losing this game, the Bobcats will obviously not be criticized, because their performance has exceeded expectations.

But Zach Lowe said on his Facebook page: "The loss to the Bucks is even more proof that my second prediction was correct, and for now, the Bobcats are still on the verge of the playoffs and they are not strong enough to make the playoffs." ”

A large number of ESPN reporters agreed with Zach Lowe's analysis.

Qiao Hai has recently developed a habit of brushing Facebook when he has nothing to do, and he naturally brushed up on Zach Lovey's news.

Qiao Hai also felt helpless about his own employees, but he also had to admit that the strength of this Bobcats team was indeed on the verge of the playoffs, but if one more Qiao Hai was added, Qiao Hai felt that it should not be difficult for the Bobcats to enter the playoffs.

This season, what Qiao Hai wants to show is how much impact he has on the game as a head coach.

At this point, Qiao Hai thought of Brad Stevens, at this time Brad Stevens was still one of Qiao Hai's assistants, but in later life, Qiao Hai knew that this young marshal took a Celtics who was originally going to be bad, easily returned to the playoffs, and directly completed the reconstruction.

Qiao Hai believes that Brad Stevens has such ability, and he will not be bad.

Therefore, Qiao Hai actually disagreed with Zach Lowe's analysis, and of course, he did not respond to Zach Lowe, because he knew that the Bobcats, who had two wins and one loss in the first three games, would soon respond to Zach Lowe with their actual performance.

……

On Nov. 12, the Bobcats traveled to Boston to take on the Celtics.

This season, the Celtics have maintained the core of Paul Pierce, plus Ricky Davis, Tony Allen and Al Jefferson, two point guards selected in the draft, Marcus Banks and Delonte West, and centers with strong shooting ability like Rivra Frentz.

The strength of this Celtic team should not be underestimated.

In this game, the Bobcats played a tough game, because the new coach of the Celtics, Doug Rivers, brought in Tom Thibodu as an assistant coach, and they focused on defense.

In the face of the Bobcats, the Celtics compressed the local space very hard, and the Bobcats' offense finally encountered Waterloo, and they were directly pained by the Celtics' shrinking defense.

The small range of passing and cutting coordination can not be played, and the large range of passing and cutting coordination is very unskilled, and the ball is always broken.

As a result, in the first half, the Bobcats only scored 41 points, and in the second half, they only scored 33 points, and were beaten by the Celtics by a 50 point.

In the end, the Bobcats lost to the Celtics 74-91, and after two consecutive wins, there was another wave of two consecutive defeats.

……

After this game, the criticism of the Bobcats finally came.

"With a heavy defeat on the road, two wins in a row and two defeats in a row, this Bobcat is finally going to show its original form? In fact, they are just skinny kittens with nothing to show for themselves! ”

This is ESPN's report, when the first two consecutive wins, the most fierce blow should be ESPN, they directly blew the Bobcats, who won two consecutive games at that time, into the biggest batch of dark horses of the season.

Even when the Bobcats lost to the Bucks, they said: "It's not terrible to lose to the Bucks, the Bobcats only lost by 2 points, which shows that their strength is enough to compare with a playoff powerhouse like the Bucks." ”

But after two consecutive defeats, ESPN suddenly relegated the Bobcats to the bottom of the West.

Henry Abbott said on his Facebook page: "With the Celtics losing to the Celtics and the offense they were proud of in the first three games, it looks like the teams in the league have found a way to deal with the Bobcats' new tactics, and the Bobcats may really be showing their true form." ”

Everyone began to look down on the Bobcats, and everyone began to think that the Bobcats' two consecutive wins, and the excellent offense played in three consecutive games, were simply caused by the unfamiliarity of the teams in the league with the Bobcats' new set of tactics.

And now, everyone is gradually familiar with the Lynx's tactics and found a way to restrain it, and this Lynx no longer seems to be so powerful.

But that's what Qiao Hai wants to see.

As the head coach of the Bobcats, he naturally did not feel that this defeat was the end of the world, on the contrary, he found a lot of problems for the team from this defeat.

And once they find the problem, they can take the opportunity to solve it.

"The loss to Celtic exposed our biggest problem is that the cross-cutting coordination in a small area is limited by the large space, and once the opponent shrinks the defense, it is difficult for us to play the perfect combination."

"And the large-scale cross-cutting coordination is still very unskilled, in order to solve our possible offensive problems, we need to further train our large-scale cross-cutting coordination, so that it can cope with all defenses."
