Chapter 15: Battle of the Bobcats

In the locker room, since the current game is a preseason game, the main purpose is to run in the lineup and train new people, so it doesn't matter what the results are. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTherefore, although the game was lost, the expressions on the faces of the players were relatively relaxed.

Just now, head coach Van Gundy also arranged that tomorrow the players will have a day off, no training will be arranged, and they will fly to Charlotte early the day after tomorrow to face the Bobcats. At this meeting, the team members all washed their bodies, changed their clothes, and discussed where to play tomorrow.

"Zhang Chu, how do you arrange it tomorrow, why don't I take you out for a ride, you just came here and saw the scenery of Houston?" Yao Ming said to Zhang Chu while changing his clothes.

"Well, thank you, Brother Yao, forget it tomorrow, let's wait for later, I can't speak English well now, I can't understand it, and it's not interesting to go out to play." Zhang Chu quickly got dressed and said, "Brother Yao, tomorrow is off, is the club's training room open?" ”

"Huh? Do you still want to train? Yao Ming glanced at Zhang Chu with a little surprise, "Of course, the training room, basketball court, etc., are open to the players of their own club all day!" ”

"Yes, Brother Yao, don't you also say it, pies won't fall from the sky, I'm a rookie who can't work hard, wow, hehe." Zhang Chu smiled and touched his head.

"Okay, let's go, I'll say hello to the staff in the training room later." Yao Ming put on the backpack he carried with him and beckoned Zhang Chu, "Put the jersey and towel here, there will be a special staff to collect and clean them soon." ”

Yao Ming took Zhang Chu to greet other teammates, and walked out, Zhang Chu would only say "GoodBye......", while waving to his teammates, while wiping his sweat awkwardly, this English is to hurry up and learn, some teammates said to themselves for a long time, they didn't understand a word, they could only laugh dryly, and turned the sentence "GoodBye......" over and over again.

Zhang Chu lived in a house provided by the club, which was actually not far from the stadium, but Yao Ming still drove him home. When passing by the club's training room, he deliberately took Zhang Chu to say hello to the staff inside, he was worried that Zhang Chu had just come, the club staff didn't know him, and Zhang Chu didn't know English, and he couldn't explain it clearly when he came tomorrow.

Alas, it seems that it is imperative to learn this English, I have studied English for so many years when I was in school, and it is so-so to see a few simple words, but speaking, Zhang Chu is really not good, no way, education in most places in China is like this, heavy written test, light application, and it is not good to communicate with people in spoken language.

returned to the residence, called his parents, called the fat man and the monkey, and then, fell asleep early, and went to training tomorrow, the training facilities of the rocket team were not comparable to Huayang University before, Zhang Chu didn't want to waste such good conditions.

On October 12, 2016, the third day of the Rockets' battle with the Jazz, the Rockets flew to Charlotte early in the morning to face the Bobcats.

The Bobcats are located in the central city of Charlotte, North Carolina, and the name of the arena is Time Warner Online Arena. The Cats are a new team in the NBA, just joined the league in 2004, and one of the main owners of the team is none other than Michael Jordan, the god of basketball. The overall strength of the Bobcats is currently the bottom in the NBA, and it can be said that it is the first from the bottom, and the record is relatively poor.

It may be due to the strength of the Bobcats, or it may be the reason why Yao Ming and Maddie's bodies are still recovering, anyway, this time, Yao Ming and Maddie did not fly with the team.

Because it was a preseason game and it was not a focus battle, there were very few viewers at the scene, CCTV5 did not arrange live broadcasts, and portal networks such as Tencent and Sina did not arrange live video broadcasts and text live broadcasts. This time, the majority of netizens and fans in China can only rely on the reports after watching it, and the live broadcast is not watchable.

There are even fewer reporters at the scene, and the reporters on the Chinese side only came to Ma Fei of "Basketball World", who was scolded by the editor-in-chief Wang Shan last time, and this time he didn't dare to be careless, in case Zhang Chu performed well in this game, and he couldn't get first-hand information, the editor-in-chief was estimated to be crazy.

He looked left and right, well, there were no Chinese reporters with him, Ma Fei set up his imagination and was ready to do a big job, this time, but it was an exclusive report, no one fought with him, and today he must redeem his impression in the editor-in-chief's mind.

Zhang Chu, you have a big outbreak today, cut ten or eight points angrily, and let me follow it.

Zhang Chu thought that he would be able to meet Jordan when he came, but as a result, the big boss of the Bobcats did not come to the scene. In short, in a word, it was a game that no one was paying attention to, it was a dull game and it wasn't exciting.

However, today's game was not dull for Zhang Chu at all, because he got a lot of playing time today.

The Bobcats fielded their starting lineup today like this:

Centre-forward: Brezek

Power forward: Okafor

Small forward: Wallace

Shooting guard: Anderson

Defender: Felton

What to say about this lineup, on paper, Okafor is the biggest name, and he is a star, after all, he is the star of the 2004 list, and he has competed for the champion with the Warcraft Howard. Secondly, Wallace in the small forward position can also be regarded as a tough defensive player, and in other positions, it can only be said that he is very vegetable.

And the Rockets' starters today are as follows:

Center: Uncle Mu

Power forward: Howard

Small forward: Battier

Shooting guard: Wells

Defender: Alstom

As I said just now, the Bobcats' lineup today is very bad, and if you look at the starting lineup of the Rockets, it is not as good as the Bobcats. Zhang Chu somewhat understands that the Rockets have not produced results for so many years, although Yao Ming and Maddy are strong enough, but the players and bench players in other positions are too poor.

As expected, when the first quarter of the game was played for seven or eight minutes, the Rockets were actually behind, and they were pressed and beaten by the Bobcats on the field. You know, the opponent's strength is the bottom of the league, and the Rockets are the team that aims to win the championship.

Soon, the two sides began to come on the bench.

The Rockets were replaced by Hayes at the center position, Zhang Chu at power forward, Novak at small forward, Hyde at shooting guard, and Sula by Sula at playmaking guard.

The Bobcats were replaced by power forward Sean May, small forward Morrison and others. This Morrison is this year's Flower Show.

The current lineup of the Rockets can be described as extremely poor in offensive ability and has no offensive points. Hayes will only defend, not attack. Zhang Chu can attack, but his teammates don't know him, and basically no one passes the ball to him. Novak will only shoot in the open space, and if it weren't for stars like Yao Ming and Maddy to create open opportunities for him, he would be useless. Hyde is a blind fighter, Sula is old, the pass is okay, and the initiative to attack is still forgotten.

And the Bobcats' current lineup on the court is also extremely poor in offensive ability, of course, except for Tanhua Show Morrison.

Clearly, Bobcats head coach Beckelstaff isn't going to fail to grasp that. Under the special arrangement of the head coach, all the players of the Bobcats team revolve around small forward Morrison to play and create opportunities for him.

Of course, Morrison obviously did not live up to the trust of the head coach and his teammates, shooting one ball on the left and one ball on the right.

At the time of the draft, it was already said that Morilin was known as the second Anthony, with extremely strong scoring ability and a variety of offensive methods, so it was normal for Novak to not be able to guard him.

At the end of the first quarter, this wave of bench to bench, the Bobcats scored six points in a row, while the Rockets did not score a single point.
