The Charlotte Bobcats are home to Time Warner Center.

Ye Han ushered in the first official game of his career, facing the Washington Wizards at home.

Before the game, Bickerstaff had a request for this match.

Win the game!

It's really not easy for a new team to win the first game, even if it's in pre-season.

But who calls the opponent the Wizards, the Wizards are the ones that small owner Michael Jordan hates the most, he spent the last two years of his career on this team, and was finally swept away.

It doesn't matter if it's to make the little boss happy or to get the first season off to a good start, this game has to be won.

Fortunately, when I joined the NBA, I got so many players with game experience from other teams, although the strength is not good, but it is much better than the magic who had to make up enough numbers for the new team many years ago and won the top pick for two consecutive years.

But the Wizards are not easy to fight at all.

Last season's Wizards finished last season with just 25 wins, but this year's acquisition of top power forward Antoine Jamison, plus Gilbert Arenas, the most improved player poached from the Warriors' high salary a year ago, and Larry Hughes, who can not only score 20 points per game but also play the best defensive player on the perimeter, form the Guards' trio, which is far stronger than the current Bobcats.

In addition to the Three Musketeers, the Wizards' other players should not be ignored, Jordan selected the parallel champion Kwame Brown when the Wizards was the executive chairman of the Navy, and he debuted last season, averaging 11 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, which is not satisfactory in terms of statistics, but his defense is definitely the top in the league, and the individual defense efficiency can even be compared with Garnett, Duncan, and Ben Wallace.

In addition to these four fan-familiar stars, the Wizards bench also has Brandon Haywood, Juan Dixon, Anthony Peeler and other role players who average double-doubles per game, and are a new force to be reckoned with.

If the Bobcats want to win this game, it's going to be hard! The only good news is that this game is pre-season and the opponent may not be so attentive.

Before the game, Bickerstaff announced the starting line-up: Brevine Knight, Jason Capono, Gerard Wallace, Emeka Okafor, Primoz Blazek.

Ye Han was put on the bench.

When he heard the news, Ye Han was very calm and unwilling? Of course he was, but he was mentally prepared to fall to the second round in the draft, and he knew that the start of his career would be difficult.

Looking at Ye Han who was expressionless on the bench, Bickerstaff nodded with satisfaction, neither angry nor disappointed, much better than he imagined.

Bickerstaff put Ye Han on the bench for two reasons, the most important thing is that the Bobcats bench is too weak and does not have a strong point, and letting Ye Han play during the rotation can allow him to face weaker opponents and adapt to the rhythm of the NBA faster.

Although the Bobcats were not favored this season, the enthusiasm of the fans made everyone in the Bobcats very excited.

If there's a lottery team that has just joined the NBA and has fans all wearing their team jerseys to watch the game together, it's the Bobcat!

And it's pre-season!

North Carolina fans gathered at Time Warner Center after a two-year absence from the NBA for the arrival of a new NBA team and the Bobcats' first game.

It's a game that will go down in Bobcats history and loyal local fans won't want to miss it.

As the first game in the team's history, although it was a preseason, the Bobcats also did some small activities, gave some speeches, and after some bits and pieces of activities, the game finally began.

The Wizards started very strongly, with Gilbert Arenas as the starting point guard and Larry Hughes partnering him on the guard line.

Up front are Samaki Walker and Antoine Jamison, and in the center is Kwame Brown.

The game starts with a jump ball in the middle circle.

Kwame Brown deserves to be Jordan's top pick in high school, and what he sells is talent.

What kind of talent can be seen in high school? It's nothing more than physical fitness.

Kwame Brown's height, reach, running and jumping ability, and explosiveness are the most important reasons why he was selected as the top pick.

Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from Brezek, who was half a head taller than him.

Arenas strikes first.

Facing Blevine Knight, Arenas accelerated to the three-point line.

Blevin Knight knew he couldn't prevent it, so he didn't catch up.

Arenas pull-up jump shot! Shoot before Gerard Wallace, who has come over to make up, is in place!

Hit!

The Wizards scored first.

It's too easy to let the opponent score!

This defensively.

Ye Han shook his head from the sidelines, and Brandon Knight made it clear that he knew that he couldn't prevent it and gave up the defense directly.

Offense and defense switch, Bobcat offense.

Brandon Knight controlled the ball, relied on his speed to break through Larry Hughes's one-on-one defense, and entered the box, attracting Jamison to make up the defense and passing the ball to Okafor in the gap.

Kwame Brown made up for the past and misplaced ......

That's right!

Okafor can't squeeze Kwame Brown, the speed and explosiveness don't work, and he forcibly shoots!

"Smack"

Kwame Brown threw Okafor into the air with a palm, and Larry Hughes picked up the ball and played a long pass to Arenas.

Arenas catches the ball and makes an emergency stop outside the three-point line!

Chase the three points!

Hit!

It's so fast! The Wizards' counterattack was too fast!

5-0, the Bobcat was completely pressed and beaten.

The Bobcats' twin-tower play is good, with Okafor moving well on the defensive end and a strong defensive end on the inside. On the offensive end, no matter who faces the opponent's small power forward, the two interior lines are misplaced, but no matter who faces the opponent's center, they are not in the right position! The twin towers look crowded when they are crowded on the inner line.

The Bobcats went on the offensive.

Gerard Wallace missed a three-point shot, and the Wizards had another chance to fight back.

Antoine Jamison, as the league's top power forward, showed off his offensive skills, turning his back flexibly to play Okafor, but unfortunately the small throw did not go in.

But!

Today is Okafor's Disaster Day! It was also the day he was baptized in the NBA.

Jamison missed, and Okafor breathed a sigh of relief, turned to grab the defensive rebound, and jumped high.

Suddenly, a huge force came from behind him, knocking him directly out of the bottom line.

"Boom"

Kwame Brown's violent dunk!

Grab a defensive rebound and no one goes to the top! was directly jumped up by Kwame Brown and violently made up for the dunk!

The Time Warner Center was silent, and fans thought that the team would be difficult at first, but they didn't expect it to be so bad, that even the most famous parallel champion in history could play like O'Neal.

Even Kwame Brown, who is clumsy on offensive rebounding, was able to play such a performance on the inside, and the morale of the Wizards was greatly boosted, but the Bobcats were blinded by the Wizards' counterattack, and then played a mess.

Seven minutes passed, and the Bobcats didn't score a single sports battle, and were hit by the Wizards with a wave of 25-4 super scoring shockwaves!

Finally, Gerard Wallace hit a rebound and drew a foul, and the Bobcats went into an official timeout with a score of 6-25.

Bickerstaff had a bad face on his face, and he didn't call a timeout or make any substitutions during this time, and he wanted to see what kind of starters he might be relying on this season could play, and now he finally knows.

Okafor walked back to the bench dejectedly, Ye Han did not comfort him, but said: "This virtue was hit by another high school student?" ”

The most unpleasant thing at the beginning of Okafor's career was that he did not become the top pick, and was robbed of the first pick by Howard.

"I'm just a little uncomfortable, I'll let you see my strength later!" Okafor said angrily.

Ye Han shrugged: "Let them see our strongest defense!" ”

Okafor grinned, he figured it out, what does it matter if you can't shoot? Just let the opponent not be able to throw!

Bickerstaff wanted to comfort Okafor, which was the hope of the Bobcats, but he couldn't lose confidence.

But seeing that Ye Han's two or three sentences made Okafor full of fighting spirit again, or with anger, Bickerstaff was very surprised.

Ye Han is not good at communicating with his teammates and does not participate in the activities of his teammates, and Bickerstaff once thought that he did not have the talent that a leader should have, but now it seems that Ye Han has a different leadership style from ordinary leaders.

"Ace, Steve come on, replace Primoz and Jason, Gerrard you go to the fourth position to open up space." Bickerstaff began to set up a rotation, with Ye Han and Steve Smith replacing Capono and Blazek.

"We're going to play defensively, Emeka, you defend the interior and get the rebounds. The number four position opposite Gerrard is handed over to you, Ace is the main attacker, and Breven and Steve are responsible for distributing the ball! ”
