In the second half, Qiao Hai fielded a small lineup of point guard Steve Blake, scoring guard Michael Reed, small forward Anfernee Hardaway, power forward Andre Iguodala, and center Josh Smith.

In the opening game, the Bobcats began to attack the Wizards' defense with a small lineup, and they continued to focus on the small area around Michael Reed on the wing, which seems to be the most threatening style of play of the Bobcats at present.

Michael Reid scored with consecutive mid-to-long shots, and Josh Smith also found a good opportunity in the continuous cooperation, and successively received the ball into the penalty area and scored a violent dunk.

The Bobcats opened the quarter with a wave of 13:5, and the difference was directly stretched to 14 points.

With such an outstanding performance, the Bobcats quickly won the cheers of all the Charlotte fans in the stadium, as well as the exclamations from all the commentators and media reporters at the scene.

After the small lineup played for half a quarter, Qiao Hai changed to a center lineup with Datang as the core, and played another wave, and the score was always controlled by the Bobcats.

……

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Wizards with a score of 116-103 and won the first regular season game in team history!

"It's unbelievable that the Bobcats won the game by 13 points against the Wizards with Gilbert Arenas, Antoine Jamison and Larry Hughes!"

Michael Reed scored a game-high 25 points, along with three rebounds and six assists, Tang Zhendong had 16 points, 10 rebounds and one block, Gerald Wallace had 11 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block, Andre Iguodala had 10 points and two rebounds, and Steve Blake had 10 points and six assists.

"Anfernee Hardaway had 15 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, Josh Smith had 15 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and Carlos Arrow had 11 points and 5 assists."

"Eight Bobcats scored double-doubles and won a victory for all the people!"

No one expected the Bobcats to win, because in everyone's mind, it was a bad team that couldn't even make up five starts.

No one expected that in the first game of the season, the Bobcats directly played the victory that eight starters-level players could only play together.

They used their personal performance to slap a group of people in the face.

In particular, the Bobcats are not a weak opponent in this game, and in the eyes of media reporters, experts and commentators, the introduction of Antoine Jamison, and the Wizards of Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes returning to health, should be a strong team at the Eastern Conference playoff level.

The result is the team in this prediction, losing by 13 points in the opening game of the regular season to the bottom of the East in most media predictions!

This is undoubtedly a huge upset in the opening game!

……

After the game, the Charlotte Coliseum cheered continuously, and Qiao Hai's team ushered in a good start, and everyone began to look forward to the future of this team.

Qiao Hai found Eddie Jordan, who was already black and charcoal-colored, and shook hands, and the two didn't communicate much.

However, the commentators and reporters on the sidelines believe that after this battle, Eddie Jordan should be able to recognize the gap between him and Qiao Hai.

"Sitting on three star-level players, against the Bobcats with only one star player, Eddie Jordan finally lost the game, and he said before the game that even if Qiao Hai can suppress him on the field command, the difference in strength between the two teams will be enough to end the suspense of this game."

"But the end result was that the Wizards lost to the Bobcats by 13 points, and throughout the game, the Wizards didn't get too many good chances, and they were suppressed by the Bobcats' fast and aggressive offense."

……

Qiao Hai went directly to the locker room, and in this game, he had a few points to summarize.

'In this game, we did a good job of increasing the pace, but we didn't do enough passing, Andre [Iguodala] and Gerrard [Wallace] didn't pass the ball enough and we needed to do a better pass so that we could attack better."

"We also have some problems with air cuts, not fast enough, not decisive enough, not fast enough, and at the same time, the runs between teammates often collide with each other, and we need more practice in terms of air cut runs."

"The Wizards are not a defensive team, so don't look at us with 116 points in this game, but if we have a strong defensive team like the Spurs and Pistons, it's hard for us to play that kind of offense."

In this game, the Bobcats were able to play their own offense, or the Wizards gave them too much space, and the Bobcats' air cutting and passing coordination did not encounter any strong defensive obstruction at all.

If you run against defensive powerhouses like the Spurs and Pistons, Larry Brown or Popovich can make adjustments with a timeout in the middle and press the space in the Bobcats' offense, the Bobcats' offense will naturally not be so smooth.

So, the Bobcats' offense clearly needs to be improved, and this victory doesn't say much.

Qiao Hai knew this very well, so as soon as the game was over, he immediately poured cold water on his players.

……

In the post-match press conference, Eddie Jordan was in a bad mood, but he was a coach who was very good at admitting mistakes and admitting defeats.

After the game, Eddie Jordan also admitted his defeat very decisively: "That's right, we lost this game, the Bobcats' performance was something we didn't expect, their offense played very smoothly, we gave them too many chances, it was our mistake, after this game, we need to do a good summary." ”

Eddie Jordan's "honest" performance made the reporters on the scene very dissatisfied, because they couldn't get too good material for the post-game news report.

On the other side, Qiao Hai was also interviewed.

For the team's performance in this game, Qiao Hai gave a five-star praise: "There is no doubt that we performed very well in this game, everyone did their part, and the eight players scored double-doubles is a clear proof." ”

Regarding Michael Reed, who had 25 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in this game: "Michael has been very good, he is one of our most dangerous scoring points in this game, and there is no doubt that he will be selected for the All-Star Game this season and become an All-Star caliber player." ”

For Tang Zhendong, who scored 16 points, 10 rebounds and 1 block in this game: "Tang is a good center, he is the kind of traditional center, if he is allowed to stand in position, he will perform very well, and this game proves all this." ”

Regarding the performance of the two rookies on the team, Josh Smith, who scored 15 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks in this game, and Andre Iguodala who had 10 points and 2 rebounds: "Josh has shown his vitality very well, he has been fighting against the opposing center in this game, but it is clear that he is not falling behind at all. ”

"Andre did a good job of passing, he did a great job defending Gilbert Arenas, and obviously we had a successful draft with two talented rookie players."
