Facing the Bobcats in this game, Brown began to regret why he had recruited so many veterans. But in fact, this is also a last resort, any team is made up of stars, youngsters and veterans, and in a way, signing a veteran for the same price is more cost-effective than signing a rookie, after all, the veterans have proven themselves and can bring more experience to the team, which is the fundamental reason why Brown likes to use veterans.

But now he only wants more youngsters on his roster, as the veterans obviously can't keep up with the pace of the Bobcats, and Brown has to let the youngsters rush into the game. However, he soon found that his young men could not withstand the long hours of running against each other, and the drop in shooting percentage was a clear feature, and their physical strength was no longer enough to support the shot.

Brown was surprised, knowing that it was only the third quarter and the players' fitness was starting to call the alarm, so what would it be like in the second half? He didn't dare to pack the ticket, but he didn't have much confidence, so he could only take one step at a time.

Thankfully, Brown still has James available, and he's the only guy on the team who can match the Bobcats in terms of fitness. The only difference is that James was born with this, while the Bobcats players were trained by Chang Wei. Chang Wei is confident in the players he has trained, and when Jackson said whether he should reduce the pace of attack and defense, Chang Wei thinks there is no problem, this is the Bobcats' style of play, and the players' physical fitness can support such a game.

Chang Wei's statement reassured Jackson a lot, he just thought that with the intensity of a game like the playoffs, it would be difficult for the players to maintain a fast-paced offense and defense for a long time, but since Chang Wei thought it was okay, then he would choose to believe it. In fact, the Bobcats now dominate the court, and the Cavaliers' players are starting to run out of breath except for James.

With 1:25 left in the third quarter, Pavlovic nearly fell to the ground after a driving layup. Then his expression began to distort, his hands clenched his right calf, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead. Chang Wei's eyes froze, he didn't need to go over at all to know that this was an obvious cramp symptom, and it seemed that the knight players couldn't hold it anymore.

Pavlovich's collapse caused chaos on the Cavaliers' bench, Brown's mouth opened wide in surprise, he has been coaching NBA teams for a long time, and he has hardly seen players cramping on the court, considering that the basketball game is only 48 minutes, and it is not easy for players to cramp in the middle of the game, let alone a young lad like Pavlovich.

The rest before the start of the fourth quarter was not enough for the Cavaliers' players to recover, and most of them had some muscle tremors that looked a little unsustainable. But Brown couldn't have conceded a win at this point, and the Cavaliers are now down 69-79, just 10 points away, and he thinks there is still a chance to complete the comeback in the fourth quarter.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the still fierce Bobcats players played a small 8-0 climax, and what made Brown even more embarrassed was that it was not the Bobcats' starting five Tigers who were on the court at this time, but their role players. The Bobcats bench led by Ellis also caused a lot of problems for the Cavaliers in this game, and it was thanks to their excellent performance that the Bobcats were able to maintain their good fast offense and defense for almost the entire game, without being caught by the Cavaliers.

By the halfway point of the quarter, the Bobcats had widened the gap to 15 points, and watching the players running the court, Brown sighed and withdrew all the starters, which meant that he conceded defeat in this game. However, Jackson still appeared cautious, and after the Cavaliers all started the game, he still let the Bobcats' five starters play for nearly a minute, and only when the game was decided did he substitute them to leave the opponent with the last dignity.

To everyone's surprise, when Roy was substituted, the crowd stood up and cheered them on, which was a huge improvement. The Bobcats' record and style of play in the past two seasons have attracted the attention of many fans, but Charlotte is still the majority of NCAA fans, and the Bobcats management was pleasantly surprised by the fact that all the tickets for this game were sold out, but at this time, because of a substitution by Jackson, the fans spontaneously stood up and cheered for them.

So basketball is the same as other competitive sports, the winner is the king, the loser is the loser, as long as you can win the game, you can be loved by the fans, but if you lose, you can do nothing but be a tragic hero.

Although Jackson replaced the main player, there were no more twists and turns in this game, and the Bobcats easily defeated the Cavaliers 101-92 on their home court, changing the score to 2-1 and holding their first home court.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the key to this game is physical fitness, and the Bobcat's physical fitness is good, so if he wins the game, the Cavaliers' physical fitness is not good, so he can only accept the outcome of losing. After the game, the commentators praised the Bobcats for their fitness, and in their opinion, as long as the players of any team can have such fitness, why not do a big deal?

In his press conference, Brown also highlighted the opponent's physical strengths, telling reporters: "The Bobcats are the most physical team I've ever seen, not even one of them, it's terrifying. When I saw the Bobcats' performance, I realized that the physical training I emphasized was child's play, which also provided a reference for our off-season training. ”

"Obviously, we lost this game because of a lack of fitness, in fact, in my opinion, only LeBron can keep up with them, and how to limit the speed of the Bobcats in the next game is our top priority."

Jackson, on the other hand, attributes all of his physical advantage to his head assistant coach: "I have to say that the team can play at such a fast pace, and it is because he emphasizes the importance of fitness in training that he has developed this very strong team. But it's also related to everyone's hard training, after all, the game still has to be played by the players. ”

Chang Wei could only shrug helplessly after listening to Jackson's words in the audience, now his reputation in the league no longer needs his old friends to help him advertise, but Jackson still told the truth. Chang Wei easily guessed his thoughts, as a head coach and good friend, he didn't want to rob Chang Wei of the credit.
