Chapter 680: The Horror of the Six Guests (5/6)

After the All-Star, Qiao Hai and LeBron James blew each other and made headlines in major media.

Kevin Ding of Hoop Sports said with a smile: "Qiao Hai and LeBron James seem to be looking at each other, so is it possible for the two to work together?" ”

A reporter asked Qiao Hai this question, and Qiao Hai's answer was: "Everything is possible." ”

This is a fantastical answer, the collaboration between Joe Hay and LeBron James? The Chosen Coach and the Chosen Son are simply a perfect match.

But the key question is, how do they get the job done?

ESPN's Mark Stein believes that the cooperation between Qiao Hai and James is just lip service, and it is still too difficult to actually implement.

"Qiao Hai is already a small boss of the Bobcats, and in the future, without interference, it is very likely that he will continue to coach in Charlotte until retirement."

"And for LeBron James, he is the emperor of Cleveland, and as a native of his hometown, it is his dream and responsibility to play for his hometown team, so LeBron James will never leave the Cavaliers."

"The cooperation between the two is naturally just an empty talk."

……

Before the All-Star weekend, the Bobcats ended the regular season with a four-game winning streak and were in excellent form.

And after the All-Star, they directly ushered in a wave of horror schedules of six consecutive visitors in the West.

In the first game, the Bobcats faced the Nuggets, and after the All-Star returned, the Bobcats were in average condition, and in this game, their main lineup did not get an advantage at the end of the first quarter, but fell behind the Nuggets by 5 points.

In the second quarter, the five-small lineup came out, and the field was advantageous, but the score difference not only did not narrow, but opened up.

At halftime, the Bobcats trailed by 10 points.

In the second half, in the face of a already rammed Dacomilisic, the Bobcats' chase was again fruitless.

At the end of the game, the score was 94-108, and the Bobcats eventually lost to the Nuggets, and after the All-Star weekend, there was a loss first.

Then, on Feb. 23, the Bobcats continued their road trip to Portland to face the Trail Blazers.

This season's Trail Blazers are deep in the Western Lottery area, and it looks like they are going to compete for the top pick, and in the face of such a bad team, the Bobcats naturally swept away the slump of the previous game.

At 101:70, the Bobcats won a wild victory, Zach Randolph was directly prevented by Josh Smith, and the Bobcats' offense was also opened, and the seven scored doubles, and finally won this hearty victory, getting the first win in six consecutive away games.

Then, on February 24, the Bobcats played back-to-back games against the Phoenix Suns.

Both teams played their own offense, and after a 48-minute battle, the two teams were tied 121-121 before the end of the game, and the game went into overtime.

In overtime, the Suns were more physically energetic, and in the end, 15:10, the Suns defeated the Bobcats in overtime and won the game!

The Bobcats lost another game, and this wave of six consecutive visitors is already 1-2.

On Feb. 26, they faced the Clippers in Los Angeles.

The Clippers are not weak at all this season, and through the operation of Elgin Baylor, they have made an extremely strong starting lineup, with Sam Kassel and Katino Mobley at guard, small forward Cory Magetti, and Elton Brand and Chris Carman on the inside.

It can be said that this is a pure offensive lineup, and if everyone is given enough possession, each of the starting five Tigers will be able to score 20 points.

Relying on this set of starters, the Clippers currently have a record of 31 wins and 23 losses, ranking seventh in the West, and belong to the playoff level.

The Bobcats also played a tough game, leading by only three points at halftime.

In the second half, the two teams fought a decisive battle, and the Clippers once overtook the score, but at the last moment, Qiao Hai played the ultimate five, played a wave of 11:2, and finally won the game.

After this game, February was over, and the Bobcats ended up with a 9-3 record in February, with an overall record of 45 wins and 13 losses, and continued to rank first in the East.

The Pistons, who are ranked second in the East, have a current record of 44 wins and 15 losses, and the difference between the two teams is only 1.5 wins.

……

In their first game in March, the Bobcats stayed on the road in the West against the Utah Jazz.

This game is another matchup between Paul and Deron Williams, and as a result, Joe Hay found out that Delon Williams is different from the beginning of the season.

"This little fat man is confident."

This was said by Elvin Gentry, and then, Qiao Hai nodded: "That's right, Jerry (Sloan) has made some changes for him, and the little fat man can play in the system he is used to, and his performance will naturally improve." ”

Tang Yi picked up the topic: "The data shows that in the past month, Deron Williams' various statistics have risen sharply, averaging 13 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and he is already a qualified starting point guard." ”

"But in order to level up Delon, the Jazz's record this season is very average......"

On the court, the confident Deron Williams suppressed Chris Paul without any suspense, but in the end, it was the Bobcats who won the game.

At 104:89, the Bobcats won.

But in terms of statistics, DeLong scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal on 6-of-10 shooting in this game, and Chris Paul scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists on 4-of-9 shooting, and his performance was not bad, but compared with usual, Paul's performance was already abnormal.

After winning against the Jazz, the Bobcats had only one last game left in their six-game away streak, but in this last road game, the Bobcats moved back to the East.

They traveled to Miami, away to the Heat, and then won another game with a score of 90-76, and in the end, in this terrifying schedule of six consecutive away games, the Bobcats won a 4-2 loss, and the performance was quite in line with expectations.

……

From February 16, Qiao Hai went to Houston for All-Star Weekend, and until March 3, Qiao Hai has not returned to Charlotte, he has been going back and forth between various away games.

Calculating the time, it has been more than half a month.

As soon as he returned to Charlotte, Qiao Hai had piled up a lot of papers in front of his desk, including countless scouting reports from the scouting team, as well as some documents that needed Qiao Hai's signature.

Qiao Hai started his busyness, he first signed a few papers, then picked up the scouting reports that had been piled up in front of him, and hurriedly scanned them.

Finally, he called Kevin Pritchard: "Did March Madness begin?" ”

"It's already underway, with both Wake Forest University and the University of North Carolina making it to the final round of 64."

Qiao Hai nodded and glanced at the scouting report in front of him, the protagonist on it was Greg Oden, the Great Oden had already conquered the NCAA, and he was considered the new Bill Russell.

"Who will Wake Forest play first?"

"They're the No. 1 seed, so in the first game, they're playing against the University of Texas."

Qiao Hai nodded again: "Arrange it for me, I'm going to watch this game." ”
