After returning from Charlotte Christian School, Qiao Hai handed over the list of Shooting Star Contests.

Active player James Jones, Qiao Hai finally decided to let James Jones go up and show his face.

Retired celebrity Dell Curry, the elder Curry is a former Charlotte Hornets legend, career average three-point shooting rate of 40.3 per game, 1.1 three-pointers per game, peak season as a substitute, average 16.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game, is the best sixth man that season.

NBA star Nicole Powell, one of the outstanding rookie players in the NBA this season.

……

After deciding everything about All-Star Weekend, Qiao Hai led the team to the away game.

On Feb. 4, the Bobcats challenged the Trail Blazers away.

In this game, Qiao Hai still focuses on the first and second serve, their opponent is the worst team in the West, and the star is Zach Randolph, although his data is beautiful, but it has been beaten into a data brush.

In the face of such a bad team, the Bobcats took a seven-point lead in the first game, and the late serve extended the lead to 22 points at halftime.

In the second half, the Trail Blazers chose to surrender after holding out for seven or eight minutes.

The Bobcats won 107-89 on the road, comfortably winning the game.

……

On Feb. 5, the Bobcats fought back-to-back against the Supersonics.

Constrained by physical fitness, Bobcat's start was directly blown up by the supersonic starter, and the late start only recovered some disadvantages.

With just over three minutes to go to the end, the SuperSonics led by two points.

At the critical moment, Michael Reed and Ray Allen flew each other, Michael Reed missed the last shot, and Ray Allen hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner.

The SuperSonics defeated the Bobcats 113-111 to end the Bobcats' winning streak.

……

On Feb. 8, the Bobcats returned home against the Spurs.

In the face of the increasingly spicy Spurs, the Bobcats achieved a certain advantage in both the first and second serves, but the advantage could not be translated into a lead in the score.

Manuginobili broke out and helped the Spurs defeat the Bobcats 114-105, giving the Bobcats a two-game losing streak.

……

Then, on February 9, the Bobcats lost to the Pacers, losing three in a row, and the ranking was overtaken by the Raptors and dropped to fourth in the East.

But starting on February 11, the Bobcats won consecutive victories over the Heat, Knicks and Trail Blazers, and won another wave of three consecutive wins, and the ranking overtook the Raptors again, ranking third in the East.

……

In the final game before the All-Star weekend, the Bobcats faced the Nuggets on the road.

This season, the Nuggets' record has improved dramatically from last season, thanks to their draft success.

Last season's Tanhua Lang Daco Milicic has become a power forward who averages 20 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game this season after a season of experience with plenty of ball possession, plus Ruer Deng, who averaged 11 points, 5 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game in his rookie season, Nene Hillario Marcus Camby on the inside, and Iron Man point guard Andre Miller.

The Nuggets have a 24-28 record so far this season, and if it weren't for the West, the Nuggets would obviously have a chance to make the playoffs.

But in the West, they can only rank 10th in the West, which is very far from the playoffs.

But Milicic's progress and Ruhrdun's outstanding performance have given the Nuggets hope, so this season, they have maintained patience and promised not to mess up and try to win every game in order to allow young players to grow up in an environment where they strive to win.

It can be said that in recent seasons, the management of the Nuggets has been successful, and Kichi Van Dewig has won numerous accolades, but at the same time, there is also grapevine that Van Dewig may be going to the league headquarters.

……

In this game, the Bobcats continued to use the starters against the Nuggets' starters.

The Nuggets' starters are not weak at all, point guard Andre Miller, scoring guard is 2000 No. 6 rookie Demar Johnson, small forward Ruhr Deng, big forward Daco Milicic, center Marcus Camby.

However, the Nuggets' starting team against the Bobcats' starters failed to take advantage at all, and in the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats took a 14-point lead with a score of 33:19.

But in the second quarter, the Bobcats' late starters faced the Nuggets' bench rotation lineup, and they also failed to take advantage.

The Nuggets' bench rotation includes Qiao Hai's former disciples Earl Boygins, Nene Hilario, Francesco Elson and other players, and the depth of the lineup is not bad at all.

After halftime, the Bobcats' lead was narrowed to seven points by the Nuggets.

Then, at the beginning of the third quarter, Qiao Hai took the lead again, and with the efforts of the starters, the score difference was expanded by 2 points to 9 points.

In the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, Dacomilisic scored consecutive points from long distance, almost bringing the Nuggets to complete the comeback.

Fortunately, Anfernee Hardaway was ordered to hit two three-pointers in the bottom corner at a critical moment to help the Bobcats get through the difficulties.

In the end, the Bobcats narrowly defeated the Nuggets by 94-88, 6 points, bringing the winning streak to four.

……

After this game, the NBA regular season entered the All-Star Weekend.

Before the All-Star Weekend, the Bobcats' record became 32-18, and the winning rate was still around 64%, continuing to rank third in the East.

Therefore, the Bobcat's record has been stabilized at this time.

With 32 games left in the season, the Bobcats even have a chance to pick up 50 wins.

Therefore, looking forward to this season, Qiao Hai feels that he can even change his original goal, from entering the playoffs to entering the second round of the playoffs.

"32-18, if we can guarantee a certain win rate in the second half and maintain our ranking in third place, our opponent in the first round of the playoffs may be the 76ers or the Celtics, against these two teams, we only need to pay attention to the outside defense, and the possibility of getting through the first round is still very high."

……

Because the All-Star Weekend was held in Denver, the Bobcats did not arrange a special plane back to Charlotte, and all the staff stayed directly in the Denver Plateau to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend.

And after All-Star Weekend, it's trade deadline.

Qiao Hai didn't have any trading plans, so his original plan was to take advantage of the All-Star weekend to take advantage of Han Xue to take Denver around.

But just because he doesn't have a trade plan doesn't mean other teams don't.

Kevin Pritchard, who was in Charlotte, called to inform Joe that the Bobcats had received a trade offer from the 76ers and that they wanted the Bobcats to join a multi-party deal they were negotiating and offer some chips that the multi-party wanted.

Qiao Hai suddenly realized that this deal might be an opportunity for Bobcats, so he did not hesitate to book a ticket back to Charlotte, ready to operate the deal himself.
