In the first ball of the opening game, the Bobcats played relatively simply, and most of the fans and reporters only saw a simple blocking and dismantling cooperation, and the Wizards did not protect the frame well, and directly gave Datang the opportunity to throw in front of the basket.

But Qiao Hai also knows that in fact, this is also the wizards underestimating Datang.

Qiao Hai is very clear that at this time, Datang's total rating has reached 73 points, and the potential value is as high as 78 points, if the development goes well, it will definitely be no problem to become a qualified starter.

However, because Datang has invested some attributes in mid-range shooting and passing strategy, Datang's speed and defense are actually a little worse.

In terms of style, Datang is the core center of play, but in the NBA, his ability cannot support this style of play.

So, this is also the reason why Datang is sitting on the bench at Spurs.

Now, Qiao Hai has no one available, so he can only use Datang to play the starter first.

But in the first kick of the opening game, Datang, who felt soft, seemed to bring a surprise to Qiao Hai.

After the Bobcats scored on the first offense, the Wizards' offense, they scored two points very quickly.

Antoine Jamison and Arenas blocked the high post, and after the disassembly, Jamison received the ball, went forward, and made a foul.

Two free throws were made, 2:2, and the two teams were tied.

The Bobcats' offense is still Steve Blake holding the ball, and the outside line once again found Tang Zhendong to block and dismantle, and after blocking and dismantling, Steve Blake immediately found Tang Zhendong who dismantled the next order.

He directly passed a hit to the earth, Datang received the ball, stepped into the penalty area, leaned on Brandon Haywood, and then raised his hand to throw the ball up, Heywood cut the ball and cut directly to Datang's thick arm.

With a beep, the referee blew the whistle and signaled for a foul on Haywood's defense.

Then, Datang went to the free throw line and hit both free throws, which is an advantage of non-American centers, with a soft shooting touch and no free throws.

After two goals, Datang scored 4 points in a row at the beginning.

Qiao Hai held his chin and thought for a while, and he suddenly found that Datang's style of play is the core style of play, and when he encounters a strong center like Big Shark and Yao Ming, maybe he can only act as a blue-collar player, and if he encounters a not very strong center, it seems that Bobcat can have one more style of play.

They can play a center-centered tactic around Datang.

Taking this game as an example, Brandon Hywood is already a better defensive center in this era of scarcity of centers, but Datang can still take advantage of it.

This shows that it is still feasible to design several sets of tactical play styles with Datang as the core for a short time.

……

The game continued, the Wizards' response was still fast, Gilbert Arenas broke through, the Bobcats changed defenses, but there was soon a leak on the bottom line, Jarvis Hayes rushed to the basket, received the ball and dunked lightly, and also scored 2 points.

The two teams continued to draw.

Then, the Bobcats' offense was still the same style of play, Steve Blake and Datang's high blocking, but this time, after the two were separated, the Wizards were directly on guard.

Brandon Haywood opted for a drop-back defense and continued to kill Tang Zhendong.

On the other side, Steve Blake was also targeted by Arenas behind him, and it looked like the Bobcats' simple high-post pick-and-roll offense was strangled by the Wizards.

However, Steve Blake slapped the basketball, and then went straight to the ball, and the flick was a pass to Anfernee Hardaway in the wing cut.

Hardaway received the ball and took two more steps inside, and the Wizards had to choose a pinch shot.

After the pinch, Anfernee Hardaway chose to continue to pass the ball in, and Tang Zhendong, who had already reached the penalty area, received the ball again, and Jarvis Hayes on the Wizards' wing had to make up for it.

As soon as the two sides were defended, Steve Blake, who had just rounded the corner, took control.

He received the ball and raised his hand to throw, but Larry Hughes on the left side of the arc immediately pounced.

In the end, the Bobcats made another pass to Michael Reid on the left side of the arc, and Larry Hughes had to pounce again, but it was clear that his defense had been completely stretched.

Michael Reid didn't take the ball directly, took two steps inside, and after completely passing Larry Hughes, he hit a pull-up jump shot and hit a two-pointer.

After the goal, there were only sporadic cheers from the sidelines.

But on the sidelines, Qiao Hai's celebration was more passionate than the first two goals, the reason is that this Bobcat completely played the effect he wanted!

"Four passes in a row on one offense, the Bobcats completely tore through the Wizards' defense, and it only took them 15 seconds to make every pass, and they played very quickly with each pass, and the passing coordination was excellent."

On the commentary seat, McBrin also exclaimed.

Then, the Wizards shot the iron, and the Bobcats played a similar wave of offense, and after three passes, the three-point line was completely empty, but Tony Kukoc's last pass was wrong, and Larry Hughes broke the ball successfully!

The Wizards hit a wave of counter-attacks, and Gilbert Arenas countered with a catch-and-go layup to score two points.

The two teams were tied again.

……

The game reached 6 minutes and 43 seconds in the first quarter, and the Bobcats led by one point at 10:9.

Obviously, at the beginning of the first quarter, the two teams played a back and forth, and neither side had an absolute advantage, which was what Qiao Hai wanted to see, but Eddie Jordan didn't want to see.

Before the game, some of his remarks were still vivid, but now, the Wizards' strength advantage did not form a crush, but was forced to a almost tie by the Bobcats, and even the Bobcats led by 1 point.

When the official timeout was met, Eddie Jordan immediately made an adjustment, replacing the more impactful Juan Dixon, and Arenas formed a double control, Larry Hughes went to the third position, and Michael Ruffin came on the court to replace Antoine Jamison.

Then, he made specific adjustments.

"Give the ball to Juan, Juan rushes up, Gilbert, you take the ball and shoot, but you have to be a little more decisive, we have to keep shooting to score."

Eddie Jordan believes that the opening Wizards' offense didn't open because no one was attacking the Bobcats' defense, so he went on Juan Dixon.

Then on the defensive end, he also made adjustments: "If the opponent breaks through, we only change the defense and do not flank the attack, and at other times, we only mark people, do not change the defense ......"

Eddie Jordan decided to cut down on defensive changes and pinch shots to reduce the threat posed by the Bobcats' constant passing as much as possible.

After the timeout, the Bobcats also made substitutions, Qiao Hai made three substitutions in a row, replacing Andre Iguodala, Gerard Wallace and Josh Smith, and directly replacing Anfernee Hardaway, Tony Kukochi and Tang Zhendong.

After a wave of substitutions, on the field, the Bobcats' lineup became a small lineup, Qiao Hai's purpose is self-evident, he is going to speed up, crazy speed.
