410. See you in the playoffs, see you in the finals

Five minutes into the second quarter, the Bobcats extended the score to a whopping 17-point lead. Scott asked for a timeout, spitting stars and began to criticize the players, and Jordan changed again, this time it was Anderson who came on the court, Wang Zhizhi was replaced, and the outside two were Dujon and Gerrard.

After the pause, Mourning, Anderson, and West, three former Hornets players, appeared on the court at the same time, and PJ Brown almost cried when he saw this scene: Nima, why are the main players all off the court, and I am still on the court? Isn't this overt bullying?

Fortunately, Huaben didn't play, otherwise Brown would have cried directly.

Davis was also replaced, and Armstrong came on as a veteran. He entered the NBA in '94 and played for the Magic until last season. Armstrong is the kind of playmaker Scott likes to play, putting the team first every time he attacks, and if he weren't so old at 36, Scott would definitely let him play. Even at his advanced age, Armstrong is not to be underestimated, and his peak came in the 2000-01 season, averaging seven assists per game. With an average of 1.68 assists and 1.68 steals per game this season, he is a good veteran substitute.

Without the oppression of Davis's tank, Dujon was finally liberated. In fact, if he could, Scott didn't want to replace Davis and use Armstrong, Dujon was too young and impulsive, how could Armstrong, with his old arms and legs, catch up with him? But Davis played a quarter and a half in a row, and it was time to take a break, after all, it was just a game that didn't matter whether it was won or lost.

Dujon is not physically strong, but he is a very smart man, and Jordan knows the purpose of replacing Mourning with West and Anderson, so he did not break through Armstrong. Instead, he made a quick pass to West.

West became a small forward. However, he was originally a swing man, both large and small forwards can play, and because of his accurate mid-range shooting and delicate dribbling skills. He's also a quality small forward.

In the face of Rodgers' defence, West first stepped to the right to break through with the ball and then changed to attack from the left, and his pace was nothing to be remarkable. However, Rogers' speed is even worse, he is old after all, so although he judged the direction of West's breakthrough, he still let him pass.

In order to avoid being caught by the supplementary defense, West did not continue to move forward coquettishly after the breakthrough, but chose to pass.

With the ball flying towards the hoop and a pair of lanky arms in the air and colorful tattoos on the arms, Anderson and West showed a remarkable understanding. As soon as the ball flew up, he flew up and grabbed the ball and slammed it on top of Brown's head.

"Cool? Bastard! What does Lao Tzu's J8 taste like? Anderson yelled at Brown, the two of them were mortal enemies. When I was on a team before. Brown always bullied him as the main force.

Brown gave Anderson a vicious look and sneered, "Go eat!" ”

Armstrong's old way of holding down the rhythm. Slowly arrived at the frontcourt, in the face of Du Hong's action of pulling out the ball, his face remained unchanged, and he still maintained the original rhythm. Looking at his teammate's position, he stretched out his index finger and made a circle, then pointed at Rodgers.

Seeing this gesture, Anderson and West were confused, what the does this mean? It seems that since they left the team, the Hornets have changed the codebook, and they don't know anything about these tactics, and as for Mourning, it is even more confusing.

The Bobcats were dazed, the Hornets were busy, Brown came out and stretched out his leg to jam West, Rodgers took the opportunity to rush inside, and Armstrong put away the ball to pass. Seeing this scene, Bobcats players and fans thought that the Hornets were going to hit Rodgers' point.

But they all guessed wrong, and the ball was passed to Brown, who used his tonnage to press West to gain the advantage, took the ball and pushed his back two steps to turn and jump. …,

"Roar!" With a wild scream, the thin and strange figure of the birdman rose into the air, slapped the ball that had just flown up and pulled it out of the court, he was too quick when he jumped up, he didn't have a chance to adjust his body, and after blocking, he pounced forward.

Brown felt a dim view before Anderson slammed his head and face on him, nearly knocking him down.

This angered Brown, and in the first quarter, he was ridden and blocked by Huaben, and he was already holding back his belly. In the first half of the second quarter, West also blocked him, and now the arch-enemy Anderson came on the court and not only made an aerial relay on his head, but also blocked him and hit him? Angry Brown shoved Anderson hard, and the birdman didn't stand still, so it was as if he was directly pushed to the ground by Brown.

Originally, Mourning, Anderson and West had a grudge against the Hornets, especially in the Bobcats, they received the education of active defense that if people don't offend me, I will offend, and if people offend, I will beat his mother, so as soon as Anderson was pushed down, the hot-headed West rushed forward first, and directly punched Brown and shouted: "Raised by a bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Unwilling to be lonely, Gerald also roared and rushed forward.

Seeing this scene, the coaches were startled and hurried over to pull the rack. A bunch of big men stood up on the Bobcats bench, and Iguodala howled, "Boss, them?!" ”

Warben grabbed Iguodala and Oku, and Jordan opened his arms and yelled, "sit down, sit down!" "It's the playoffs in three days, and if it's going to be a scuffle, the Bobcats' playoffs are ruined! Huaben also understands this truth, and he knows that his teammates have not suffered at all, so he suppressed his temper and helped Jordan stabilize the atmosphere on the bench.

Although Mourning has always been grumpy, he is already an old ball oil, he knows when to fight and when to keep his eyebrows down and pretend to be a little daughter-in-law, he rushes over and pulls Anderson who gets up and waives his fists and Gerald who rushes up, while Dujon and Rogers hold West and drag him away.

Brown is not a bad breed either, he turned back to take revenge after taking a punch from West, and the belligerent Smith also jumped up and down to find a court, Armstrong and White quickly caught the two one by one, and cooperated with the referee to drag the two to the Hornets bench, so that the game was interrupted.

Anderson was overwhelmed by Brown's provocation, and he struggled and shouted, "Captain, let go of me, let go of me, let go of me!" I'm going to fucking beat that bitch, I'm going to let him know where this is! ”

Huaben pushed Anderson down on the bench and roared, "Calm down, damn it, Birdman, you figure it out for me, it's not UFC or WWE!" I'm going to get the revenge for you, but not with my fists, you know?! ”

Hearing Huaben say this, Anderson gasped and quieted down, and he pulled on his jersey with an angry expression.

West and the others had already calmed down and sat next to Anderson. The referee came over to negotiate, Jordan smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, the matter has been settled, you also saw the guys, it was those guys who provoked us first, my lad had to fight back, this is self-defense"

The referee interrupted Jordan and warned, "It's the last regular season game, so I don't want to say more, but if you guys want to play in the playoffs, then be honest, otherwise I don't mind watching a cage fight!" Michael, you'd better change the lineup, I don't want to see these two boys on the court. ”

Jordan patted Wang Zhizhi and Oku on the shoulders and motioned for the two to play, and then gave Padding and Wabben a look and asked the two to comfort Birdman and West. Fighting is not advisable, but it is even more fatal to lose morale when the playoffs are approaching!

The referee blew a technical foul on Brown and West, who took the initiative, and then signaled for the game to continue. …,

Brendan Rodgers and Wang Zhizhi made free throws, followed by the Hornets.

Armstrong passed the ball to Smith outside the three-point line, the latter missed the shot from a distance, Wang Zhizhi jumped up and grabbed the rebound, Magloyer wanted to grab the ball in his arms, after Huaben and Mourning's training Wang Zhizhi was not that honest child, and with Anderson's resentment, he directly gave the other party an elbow.

The referee immediately rushed up and gave Wang Zhizhi a technical foul, and the latter complained innocently: "Sir, I didn't do anything, he wanted to steal my ball, I just touched him"

The referee shut up at him and said expressionlessly: "No matter who it is, as long as there is a move, it is a technical foul, don't doubt my determination!" ”

Mo Ning grabbed Wang Zhizhi and said in a low voice: "Forget it, so be it." Your elbow swing is good, but there is still a bit of a problem with power and angle, I'll correct it for you after this game, you know, small movements are also a science! ”

Wang Zhizhi hurriedly pretended to be a studious student, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for the captain's guidance, I will try to put them down directly next time." ”

With the intervention of the referee, both sides were very restrained in the following games, in fact, the Hornets had a very small move, because except for Smith on the court, everyone else was a veteran, like Rodgers and Armstrong were about to retire, so naturally there would be no problems at this moment.

In the second half, Anderson and West came on again, and the two moved much smaller, thanks to Waben's painstaking education, and for the championship, both buried their grievances in their hearts, learning from the boss to transform them into 'angry power' to dominate the game.

After the game, the Bobcats beat the Hornets by 16 points, bidding farewell to the 2004-05 regular season with a perfect victory, and thus the Bobcats' rookie season came to an end: according to the NBA, the playoffs are not a regular game, and the players do not even have salaries.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the 20,000 fans in the stadium gave a standing ovation, and the words "Thank you for your support all the way" were played on the big screen, and the fans in the front row pulled out a long banner that read: "Thank you Bobcats for a wonderful battle for a season, Bobcats are infested, please pay attention!" ”

Countless fans applauded and shouted, "See you in the playoffs, see you in the finals!" ”

Wajben led all the Bobcats players on the court to bow and thank the fans, without whom they would have been overshadowed this season and achieved a miraculous third-place finish in the West, thanks to half the credit for their support.

"Playoffs, here we come!"
