The Bobcats won 113-98 on the road against the Nuggets.

Hayes had a triple-double with 24 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals, Durant also had 20 points, and the Bobcats' most eye-catching player was Anthony Morrow off the bench. Moreau scored 15 points in the second quarter and scored 23 points in the game, making 5-of-7 three-pointers.

Anthony, the Nuggets, had a sluggish performance, scoring just 22 points and six rebounds, while Arenas scored 36 points in the game. If you want to say that he is alone, right? However, he also has 9 assists and looks extremely versatile.

Sometimes it's hard to judge a person's strength by looking at the data. The point guards of both teams are a clear example. Billups had eight points and six assists in the game. It looked like he was blown up by Arenas, but in fact he did his job well in the team, controlling the pace of the team's offense, not making a single turnover, only taking five shots and scoring eight points.

Arenas did the job of a point guard as a point guard, and the rest of the players had to play to his rhythm.

If compared to individual ability, especially singles ability, Billups cannot be compared to Arenas. But with Billups, the Nuggets reached the Western Conference Finals, and with Arenas, no one can say what the Nuggets will be able to do this season.

For the sake of the team's internal stability, although George Karl was a little dissatisfied with Arenas's style of play in this game, he did not mention Arenas's untactics in the post-game press conference, only saying that the role players of the Bobcats played well and the Nuggets' defense went wrong.

Hayes also attended the press conference, he got a triple-double in a row for the new season, and when asked if he had improved on his passing, Hayes laughed: "It's all thanks to my teammates, my teammates are very strong, as long as I pass the ball out, they can take their chances, that's the main reason why my assists have increased, the Bobcats have a better offense than last season, I'm happy for that." ”

Since the start of the season, the Bobcats and Lakers have continued to maintain their winning streak and lead the league.

Last season's defending champions, the Timberwolves, have lost three games and are one of the fastest slumping teams with a record of 4-3. In addition to the poor form of Iverson, the leading scorer, Garnett has also become much more sluggish than last season, averaging only 9.3 rebounds per game.

Another reason for the Timberwolves' losing streak was the unfavorable schedule, with two days of back-to-back matches against the Mavericks and Spurs.

Yao Ming's Hawks started the season with a mediocre start to the season, losing two games, to the Hornets and 76ers. In addition to Arenas who is not injured, Elton Brand of the 76ers is also very healthy so far, but he has not played for a season, and his statistics have declined, averaging 17 points and 8 rebounds per game.

After Yao Ming participated in the Olympics, the new season began to show fatigue, and his statistics dropped to 19 points and 9 rebounds.

The Bobcats quickly got into the groove and were once again favourites to win the title. Last season, the Bobcats also had a dream start, but injuries caused the team's results to decline in the medium term. This season, the Bobcats not only brought in players to strengthen their strength, but also changed the team's medical team. D'Antoni has a good relationship with the Suns' medical team, and the Suns' medical team introduced a new doctor to the Bobcats, and as a result, so far, the Bobcats have not had any injuries except for a minor finger injury to Landry.

On November 15, the Bobcats returned to their home court to face the Jazz, because Anthony Morrow played too well in the last game, and in this game, D'Antoni put him in the rotation lineup.

It was supposed to be a tough game, but the Jazz's star point guard Deron Williams, center Oku, and "AK47" Kirilenko were all sidelined due to injury, and the Jazz's strength was greatly reduced, and they were easily defeated by the Bobcats 108-86.

Hayes played 22 minutes and finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Billups scored a game-high 21 points and registered eight assists since joining the Bobcats. swept away the decline of being beaten by Arenas in the last game. Brook Lopez also had a good play, scoring 16 points.

The Jazz's starting center in this game is rookie Costa Koufus, who averages only 4 points per game, and his offense and defense are average, so he can't provide much help to Boozer, although Boozer got 26 points and 14 rebounds, the Jazz still hate away from home.

After that, the Bobcats played back-to-back games at home against the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors have been the craziest in the transfer market this season. Their lineup has changed dramatically. In order to get good results, he signed back Biderins and also poached Calderon from the Bobcats. In the end, they traded with the Kings before the start of the season, trading a 10 million trade exception with dunk king Jason Richardson and Kings rookie center Jason Thompson.

Thompson is the King's eye-eyed interior player, but Artest's departure has left them unavailable at the small forward position and in dire need of reinforcements. Richardson, who is close to an All-Star, couldn't be more suitable.

In addition, the Warriors also gathered Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Corey Margetty, Turiaf, Yi Jianlian and others, looking at the lineup, the Warriors are already very strong and seem to be able to become a strong contender for the championship.

But in fact, this is not the case, and the Warriors have a 4-4 record since the start of the game. Over the course of his 30-year coaching career, Nielsen's unique style has polarized fans into two extremes — fans who like him call him a mad scientist, while fans who hate him accuse him of being flashy. Nielsen is gradually losing the trust of players and fans. It was also very difficult for the Warriors to win four games, and Nelson Sr. with a group of very capable players could not win. People began to question whether he was a handsome man or a trash.

Against a team that is fast and has a poor defense, the Bobcats won't let Gasol play. Veteran Miller also rotated to rest. Weaver and Morrow entered the rotation. Fighting the Warriors, the Bobcats decided to fight for speed.

With the home fans cheering on, the game was one-sided at the start. The Warriors played very fast, Ellis and Jackson attacked sharply, but except for Turiaf off the bench, the rest of the Warriors players didn't take defense seriously at all.

The attack power of the bobcat is strong, and the warrior is not afraid! Their tactical style is as fearless as the team's name. Nelson Sr. insisted that his players use small-ball tactics to play against the Bobcats. Nelson is not a mad scientist, but a crazy attacker, he doesn't know what it is, he only knows how to attack, he has to keep attacking, attacking wildly!

As a result, the Bobcats played a sharper game than ever before in the new season. Weaver, the fastest runner, scored a career-high 35 points. Gerard Wallace also had 24 points on the scoresheet. Hayes sacrificed stats for his teammates, scoring just 11 points in the game, but grabbed 26 rebounds and dished out 13 assists.

Monta Ellis also had 37 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and the stats look beautiful, but he is actually Weaver, who shoots more accurately from the outside. The annual salary is indeed nearly 10 times higher than Weaver. At the Bobcats, Weaver often didn't get a chance to play, but the Warriors' tactics did revolve around Ellis, and that's the gap.

To put it another way, if there is a team willing to attack with Weaver as the core. Weaver, with his super fast-break ability and his pull-up jump shot after being covered by his teammates, can also become a player with 20+ points.

The Bobcats beat the Warriors 141-114.

The media called the game a team basketball victory. Hayes, despite a sharp drop in scoring this season, is more of a leader than last season.

After the game, reporters interviewed Hayes and said: "Mr. Hayes, your playing time, points and rebounds have dropped significantly this season, but the experts have a higher opinion of you. You grabbed 26 rebounds in this game and got another triple-double, did you save your strength in your previous games? ”

"I didn't save my strength, I played very seriously in every game, and the lack of rebounds in the previous games was a coach's tactical arrangement, and when the opponent's outside players relied on cover to break into the interior, I had to pull out to make up for the defense. It's hard to grab rebounds at this point. But when Bagnani or Lopez are on the floor, as long as they go out and defend, like in this game, I've been fighting against Biderins or Turiaf on the inside, and I don't go out of the basket, so I naturally grab more rebounds. Hayes explained.

The reporter asked: "In this game, Biedrins and Turiaf only scored a total of 8 points under your defense, and your defensive ability seems to have improved again this season, right?" ”

When it comes to defense, Hayes doesn't dare to brag. His defence has always been weak, and now after two years of training, he has reached a bottleneck. As long as he is a big man who can shoot, whether inside or outside, he may be blown up. The reason why this game was well defended was the opponent's own problem.

"Don't overestimate me. I still have a lot of weaknesses defensively, and it's clear to all teams around the league that I'm tall, and I'm able to defend against Biedrins and Turiaf because they lack outside shooting. Hayes explained with a smile.

Also interviewed were newcomers Billups and Durant of the Bobcats.

The reporter asked the two of them the same question: "Please comment on Hayes." ”

Durant thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "Chuck is the greatest player I've ever seen, my idol. After coming to Bobcat, he taught me a lot of things, and to become a real superstar, you can't just achieve it with strong individual offensive ability. Chuck made me understand the true meaning of basketball. He's the best team-mate, he's selfless and he's very reliable. I think this season, he's definitely going to be the regular season player of the year. ”

Then Billups also said: "Chuck is the strongest, just look at our team's record, with Chuck here, everything will be very easy." We actually have two point guards on the team, one is me and the other is him. Under his command, role players can also play amazingly, which is unimaginable on other teams, and before, I thought the best passer in the league was Kidd. He sees a lot of opportunities that I can't see, and I'll never get to Kidd's vision. But after joining the Bobcats, I found that Hayes's vision was actually comparable to that of Kidd. I wonder how he did it. ”

His teammates gave Hayes all the compliments. Hayes felt a little embarrassed.

In addition to the excellent performance of their teammates, another reason for the Bobcats' good record is the good schedule. After this game, the Bobcats rested for two days before playing the Magic at home. The Magic are a strong team, but the Bobcats have plenty of time to rest and adjust.

And looking at the Bobcats schedule is very favorable, and the games against the strong teams are all spread out. Such a schedule is almost like a deliberate arrangement!
