The game ended at the end of the game, with a score of 115:110, and the Bobcats narrowly beat the Suns by 5 points, and finally won the game.

In this game, the Bobcats played extremely hard, falling behind at the beginning, chasing points in the second half of the first quarter and the second quarter, and finally tied the score.

In the third quarter, the Suns were on the main lineup again, and further compressed the space to limit the Bobcats' offense, and after a wave, the Suns took a lead of about 5 points.

Then, the Bobcats fell into a bitter battle, they chased the points wave after wave, but the Sun was always able to fight back wave after wave.

The two teams looked very exciting in attack, but in fact the game was extremely chaotic.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Bobcats finally overtook the score through a wave of 11:2, but at this time, the Bobcats only led the Suns by 4 points at 104:100.

At the last moment, Qiao Hai made a five-small lineup, accelerated the speed, and increased the defensive intensity, and after playing a wave of 11:10, the Bobcats narrowly won by 5 points.

……

'It's too hard to win and we have to put in more energy and put in the defensive end without Michael.

Qiao Hai can see clearly, without Michael Reed, the Bobcats' offense has dropped by at least half a gear, and this game can win the Suns, not by offense, but by defense.

If it weren't for the Bobcats' defensive outburst at critical moments, the Suns' offensive explosiveness would have been able to help them play a wave of outbursts at critical moments, and then take the lead and eventually win the Bobcats.

But the Bobcats prevented the Suns' offensive outburst at a crucial moment and won the game.

……

After playing the Suns, the Bobcats also played all the games in 2005, and in the end, in December, the Bobcats had an 11-3 record, ranking first in the East in December, second only to the Rockets in the league.

And the overall record in November and December is also a 26-4, second only to the 28-3 Rockets, ranking second in the league and first in the East.

It can be said that after playing two months of regular season, the Bobcats have already met expectations.

……

The new year arrived, the first game of January, on the 2nd, they traveled to the away game to challenge the Hornets.

This season's Hornets, led by Byron Davis, who returned from injury, are currently outside the Western Conference playoffs, but they are only two or three wins away from eighth place in the West, which means that the Hornets have every chance of making the playoffs.

They're also working hard for the playoffs.

In this game, the Bobcats played very directly, making various passes at the beginning, hitting the penalty area, playing a wave of 8:2, and taking a 6-point lead.

Then, they began to strengthen their defense, and through the constant switching and assistance of wing players, they almost stopped the Hornets' positional offense.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Hornets with a big score of 106-83, winning five in a row.

……

Then, on January 4, the Bobcats played Celtic away.

This season, the Bobcats have played two games against the Celtics, and the Bobcats won both games, but in the first game, the Bobcats were almost overturned by the Celtics.

The three strong points of the Celtics, Paul Pierce constantly plays singles with his back, Ricky Davis also comes off the bench to score various singles, and Al Jefferson, he is also a variety of low-post singles, turning to layups or shooting shots, all kinds of scoring.

Under the outbreak of the three, the Bobcat was almost overturned.

Therefore, in this game, Qiao Hai attached great importance to it, and he arranged for Iguodala to mark Paul Pierce all over the court, and at the beginning, Pierce was subject to Iguodala's defense and played iron continuously.

The Bobcats then went on an 11-4 run to take a seven-point lead.

Then, Qiao Hai immediately increased the defensive intensity as he did in the previous game, and the Celtics were once defenseless for three minutes.

By the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats had already taken a 14-point lead.

But from the second quarter onwards, Paul Pierce's back-to-back singles began to exert his power, and he gradually found his touch on the offensive end and scored consecutive points.

The Celtics bit the score, but the Bobcats still maintained a lead of around 14 points.

After halftime, the Bobcats continued to lead the Celtics by 14 points, 65-51.

In the third quarter, the Celtics continued to chase points, and Ricky Davis also began to break through and score, watching the Celtics continue to chase points until they were only 9 points away.

Qiao Hai made a decisive substitution, replaced with five small, and after a wave, after three quarters, the Bobcats led by 12 points.

In the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, the Bobcats first grinded the regular lineup for half a quarter, and when they led by 10 points, they changed to a five-small lineup to end the game.

In the end, the score was 116-109, and the Bobcats finally won the game with a 7-point lead, and the winning streak continued.

……

On January 7, they continued to play away from home, facing the Magic, and the Bobcats defeated their opponent with a score of 108-92 to win their seventh consecutive game.

But after this game, the Bobcats added two more injuries.

Chris Paul has a finger contusion and needs to be out for a week, and Kendrick Perkins has sprained his ankle and needs to be out for two weeks.

For the Bobcats, it started with Michael Reed's injury, but after this game Paul and Perkins were injured, their injury wave was already here.

Qiao Hai's team rarely has a wave of injuries, but this time, Qiao Hai also has to admit that he has a certain amount of responsibility.

Because of Michael Reed's injury, in the recent period of games, Qiao Hai has relied more on Chris Paul at critical moments, so that in the past few games, Chris Paul has been overused.

Perkins' injury, on the one hand, has his own reasons, and on the other hand, it is also due to the lack of reserves in the center position of the Bobcats.

Chuck Hayes looks like a good backup center, but he's still too short, which is a problem, and a lot of times, Hayes doesn't come in handy.

Coupled with the fact that Rivra Frentz, who can't keep up with the fast break rhythm of the Bobcats, the Bobcats have only one pure center in the lineup.

……

On January 10th, the Bobcats finally ushered in their first matchup with the Rockets this season.

It can be seen from his starting lineup, Mo Williams has already sat on the throne of the starting point guard, the wing is still Iguodala Lagagandany Granger, the power forward Josh Smith, and the center has to let Reevra Frenz start.

With such a lineup, against the rocket, there is naturally no combat effectiveness.

The Bobcats held on for three quarters and trailed by 17 points at the end of the third quarter, with no hope of a comeback.

So, in the end, the Bobcats lost to the Rockets 96-111 and ended the winning streak.

……

After playing the Rockets, the Bobcats faced the Raptors again, and Michael Reed, Paul and Perkins still did not come back, so in this game, the Bobcats' offense completely failed, and finally lost another game 86:98, two consecutive defeats.

Fortunately, in the next game against the Bucks, Paul came back, and under Paul's leadership, the Bobcats narrowly defeated their opponents by 106:103, 3 points, ending their losing streak.
