In the first game of the preseason, the Bobcats played the Nets at home, and Qiao Hai completely ignored the team's wins and losses, and directly began to practice tactics.

In the first quarter, the Bobcats' offense was quite impressive, and Byron Scott also saw some clues.

"It's kind of like a pass-and-cut attack."

Passing and cutting offense, Qiao Hai played for a while when he was in the Grizzlies, and Byron Scott naturally felt very familiar, but obviously, this new set of passing and cutting offense has changed a lot.

Byron Scott couldn't tell what the difference was, because the Bobcats weren't skilled enough to play and were very rusty with each other.

Naturally, Byron Scott didn't see much of it.

But one thing is already clear to him, Qiao Hai coached the Bobcats, and in the first season, he played offense again!

In the first quarter, the two teams played a 27-25 game, and the Bobcats also led by 2 points.

But after Qiao Hai was replaced on the bench in the second quarter, the Bobcats' offense was completely chaotic.

A couple of young wingers got the ball and either passed the ball indiscriminately, or they ignored their teammates and did it themselves.

There is also the likes of Gerard Wallace, who didn't shoot even if there was an opportunity, was stunned to pass the ball, and finally passed a 24-second violation.

In short, all kinds of chaos.

The Nets also played a 25-17 in the second quarter and led by 6 points at halftime.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Qiao Hai was the main force again, and then played a five-five game with the Nets.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams still played back and forth, but at the critical moment, the Nets with Jason Kidd played better.

In the end, in the end, the Nets won by 101-91, a difference of 10 points, and the Bobcats also lost their debut after becoming an army.

After the game, Qiao Hai also found Byron Scott and exchanged a few words.

In this game, although the Nets won, Byron Scott also had to sigh: "A teacher is a teacher, a different team, a group of marginal players from other teams in the team, transformed a set of tactics, and played vigorously, which is too strong." ”

……

After the game, Qiao Hai went back and summed it up.

The summary is also very simple, he used the Quickplay video website to find the video material of the game and directly replay the game.

Then wave after wave of offense is analyzed.

This time, Qiao Hai seemed very patient, there was no way, Qiao Hai also knew that his set of passing, cutting, running and bombarding attacks was too demanding for the wing players.

If you are in a hurry to build combat effectiveness, in the end, this set of tactics will completely collapse.

Therefore, Qiao Hai needs to be patient.

The analysis of this match focused mainly on Andre Iguodala and Josh Smith often forgetting to pass, Gerard Wallace being too hesitant to shoot, and almost all the wing players not playing decisively enough.

After criticizing these flankers, Qiao Hai also encouraged them, hoping that they can make some progress in the next game.

Then, in the second game between the Bobcats and the Nets, they made some progress, Andre Iguodala was able to keep the pass in mind, Josh Smith received fewer balls, and Gerard Wallace made a lot more decisive shots.

Overall, the Bobcats' progress after one game has been very gratifying.

But in this game, the Bobcats' outside shooter felt cold, and the Bobcats lost 78-89 as a result.

……

After another defeat, he still did the same as in the previous game, analyzed after the game, and then criticized some players for their wrong play, and finally, continued to encourage the players and strive to improve the attack to the best state.

Then, in the first game against the Rockets, Qiao Hai adjusted the starting lineup, Andre Iguodala played a start, Qiao Hai's idea was that he wanted Anfernee Hardaway to bring the bench, and in terms of starters, he wanted to use Andre Iguodala with better defense and stronger impact.

But in the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming directly beat Tang Zhendong.

Because Anfernee Hardaway was replaced by Andre Iguodala, the Bobcats' starting offense directly became extremely chaotic.

Then in the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats scored only 21 points, while the Rockets scored 33 points and took a 12-point lead in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, Joe came off the bench, Anfernee Hardaway came on, and the Bobcats' offense was a lot smoother, and they recovered a little disadvantage.

Then at halftime, 50:58, trailing the Rockets by eight points.

In the second half of the Bobcats, as long as Anfernee Hardaway was present, the Bobcats' offense played very smoothly, and Qiao Hai also knew the reason, because Anfernee Hardaway played, the Bobcats had two organizers above the level.

If Iguodala is on the floor, the Bobcats' offense will be extremely chaotic at best, and extremely sluggish at best.

Obviously, that's the gap between high school rookies Iguodala and Anfernee Hardaway.

In the end, in Houston, the Bobcats lost to the Rockets 97-112.

Then, after returning to the home court, Qiao Hai continued to let Andre Iguodala start, and the Bobcats lost to the Rockets again 87:109, and the preseason was directly a wave of four consecutive defeats, which couldn't be more miserable.

In the next two games against the Heat, the Bobcats finally won one game, and the win was the home game.

In this game, Michael Reed scored a game-high 39 points, 5 baskets, 2 assists, 2 steals, and made 7 three-pointers.

Tony Kukoc also made three three-pointers and had 20 points and five rebounds.

Anfernee Hardaway came off the bench to contribute 8 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists, and starting point guard Steve Blake also had 9 points and 6 assists.

All in all, in this match, the Bobcats played a perfect offensive battle, and then won the game to end the losing streak.

But after winning at home, they lost again to the Heat away and started losing again.

In the last two games against the Pistons, the Bobcats' offense was tested by the Pistons' defense, and they also lost even worse, scoring only 71 points in the first away game, and slightly better at home in the second game, scoring 88 points.

But after another two-game losing streak, the preseason was over.

The Bobcats finished the preseason with a 1-7 record.

With such a dismal record, no one is naturally optimistic about this Bobcats team before the start of the regular season.

……

ESPN's pre-season preview, they directly put the Bobcats in the bottom of the East!

Their arrangement is also quite reasonable, because in the new season, almost all teams in the East have reinforcements.

Last season's last-to-last Magic traded from the Grizzlies to Chauncee Billups, and with the addition of the No. 1 pick Lang Dwight Howard, the Magic can't guarantee that they will make the playoffs, but at least they should be able to guarantee that they won't be at the bottom.

The second-to-last Bulls kept last season's core roster, and with Ben Gordon and Josh Childries drafted in the draft, the Bulls couldn't be worse than last season.

The third-to-last Wizards traded Jerry Starkerhouse for Antoine Jamison, and with the return of Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes, the Wizards have a chance to compete for a playoff spot.

The fourth-to-last Hawks also traded Jason Terry for Anthony Walker from the Mavericks for a core, and the Hawks' record may also improve.

The young players of the Heat and the Cavaliers have grown, Iverson of the 76ers has regained his form, and several lotto teams from last season, no matter how you look at it, should not be worse than this Bobcats!
