309. Hard spurs
Warburn's tough defense made Reed fall short, and his help and complement defense minimized Ford's lethality, and in Charlotte, the little sports car became a classic car. Reed played 20 minutes in the second half, but only scored 5 points, and the total score finally reached the 20-point mark, which is really different from the previous performance.
In this way, the loss of the Bucks is not a surprise. At 84:98, the Bobcats won by 12 points, Huaben cut 30+ again, and the rebounds still maintained an efficient 16, and the blocks were also a frightening 5. If it weren't for Ford's smarter back and no longer running into the box to shoot, Waaben would have been expected to set his own block record today.
With a win over the Bucks, the Bobcats have a five-game record that further solidifies their position in the rankings, and the Pacers are tied with the Bobcats. O'Neal Jr. spent almost all of the summer in the hospital, with a well-controlled back injury, and although Miller retired, there was a healthy O'Neal Jr. and the peak Artest, plus just caused by Stephen. Jackson, the Pacers are still going strong, sharing the top spot in the East with the Bobcats with the same record.
On Nov. 12, the Bobcats took on the Spurs away in a game that was seen as a contest between the East and West No. 1.
There are now three teams in the league that are undefeated: the Bobcats, the Pacers, and the Spurs.
Since the start of the season, the Spurs have quickly demonstrated their formidable dominance and terrifying consistency. After the summer Olympics, Ginobili has officially become a demon knife, he plays more confidently and with more ease, and in the sixth man position, there is no better person in the league than him.
Parker is no longer the dispensable little man, he has effectively combined speed and brain, giving San Antonio fans a big surprise, since the start of the game, his performance has been eye-catching, breaking through the ball, fast break, the team organization has been combed by him in an orderly way, always able to pass the ball to Duncan in time.
Duncan is still the same Duncan, his performance has not had ups and downs, and the Spurs' stable surname is based on his stable surname to a certain extent. Seeing Duncan's 25+12 drop one by one, it is difficult for fans to imagine what situation can make him lose his level, Hua Ben knows that Duncan's state will be maintained until the season of retirement, and in terms of career stability, even Malone can't compare to him!
This game is broadcast live in the United States, Duncan and Waben are the best big men in the East and West, and the contest between the two has always attracted attention: Duncan is calm and mature, Waben is rebellious and passionate, the two are stark contrasts on the court, this kind of Mars collision with the earth, who can resist its charm?
In addition, the Spurs also have Bowen, Horry, Brent. Barry is a good role player, and just looking at their lineup, no one doubts their quality.
In this game, the outside world is more optimistic about the Spurs, the Bobcats are a single-core team, as long as Huaben is restricted, then this team will collapse. Everyone knows this, but no one has been able to restrain him, and fans are eagerly awaiting this game in the hope that Duncan will keep him in check.
In the visiting locker room at the AT&T Center, Wahben introduced Mourning to everyone, and from this game he had been wearing a suit to sit in the stands as a spectator, and from this game, he officially became a member of the Bobcats. His physical report is out, and the Bobcats' team doctor thinks his body has no problem playing at the NBA level, but not for too long, twenty minutes at most.
Waben placed his left arm on Morning's shoulder and introduced them one by one: "Listen, folks, Alonzo will be our man from today onwards. Hey, Tony, take that damn headset off your head, do you think you're going to be a ruffian Eminem by shambling and muttering? Andrey, didn't I say you? We're going to have a game in five or ten minutes, and you're going to give me a fucking novel."
"It's not a novel, it's Playboy!" Oku leaned over and looked at it and laughed.
Hua Ben hurriedly rushed up, grabbed the magazine, and scolded: "Damn, do you read this kind of book when you have all the hair?" It's confiscated, I'll see for myself the, I mean, I'm going to introduce Alonzo to you! ”
Iguodala scratched her crotch and said disgruntledly, "Boss, who doesn't know Alonzo?" I've known him since I first played! ”
Aaron and Martin nodded approvingly, and Oku stepped forward to high-five Mourning, and said happily: "Oh God, it's great that you have Alonzo on our team, I finally don't have to be against him, it's a good thing to celebrate!" ”
Gerard laughed, "Yes, it's a good thing, otherwise it's hard to imagine, if the boss and Alonzo get into a fight, then who can pull it away?" ”
As soon as Hua Ben heard this, he pointed his finger at Gerald's chest and said, "Hey, brother, talk responsibly, am I very grumpy?" Have I directed stadium violence? No, I never hit people except for the people who should be beaten! ”
Mourning laughed, and he felt comfortable with the Bobcats' locker room atmosphere, where these people were chatting and farting and making low-level jokes together, and they had a good time with each other, which he didn't feel on the Nets. At the Nets, Kidd would never lead the players to play around, except when it comes to women, where women and money are eternal topics.
"This is Pattin, my brother." Warben pulled over Patin and introduced to Mourning, "He'll be the one to pass you the ball to, Pattin, and remember to take good care of Alonzo." ”
Patin and Mourning hugged each other, and the latter complimented, "You're doing a great job, Padding, Kidd says you're a rare guard, and I think I'll be able to play in the hoop because you're here." ”
Warben pulled Oku over and continued: "This is Oku, and it's my brother, and he's working with you on the inside. ”
Oku preemptively said: "I have admired the name for a long time, Alonzo, and it is a blessing to be your teammate instead of an opponent!" He entered the NBA in 2002, and by that time Mourning had already retired from the game due to kidney disease, and strictly speaking, the two had never competed.
Hua Ben introduced everyone in almost the same words, and finally clapped his hands, pointed at Mourning, and said: "This is Alonzo, brothers, treat him with the same respect as I am, he is the captain of the dressing room!" ”
There was a brief silence in the dressing room on the news, and the captain was not a great honour, but it was important. Most teams in the NBA have multiple locker room leaders, these people don't have to be the tactical core, they just need to have high morale, calm temperament, and rich experience, such as Battier has been one of the captains when he was with the Rockets, who is the other? Hayes!
Mo Ning didn't expect Hua Ben to say this, he was a little embarrassed, more surprised, so he said: "Thank you for your love, Ben, but I think this matter has to be looked at later, if I give my brothers a little help later, it will not be too late to become the captain at that time." ”
Wabben smiled, "It doesn't have to be that way, Alonzo, I have a lot of trust in you. And, it's not just what I mean, it's Michael's. ”
Jordan and Wabben did discuss the matter, asking him if he would like to share the position of locker room leader with Moring, and Waben readily agreed. He remembered that Mourning later went to the Heat, and he was a very good captain, and even O'Neal was very convinced of him. Dressing room leaders don't need you to put a lot of energy on the pitch, but they need you to be true to your word, fair and fair, and everyone believes what you say.
Seeing that Hua Ben insisted, Mo Ning did not have any more hypocritical politeness, he nodded heavily: "I will do my best to make our team better!" ”
"Good!" Iguodala screamed and clapped, "Hurry up, everyone applaud and welcome." ”
Gerald teased him, "You're welcome to find another person who can pay for your nightclub, right?" ”
Iguodala's smile froze, and then he exclaimed, "Boss, where did you put my playboy?" It's a collector's edition, and you can't buy it on the market! ”
Hua Ben proudly closed the closet, waved his fist, and said, "Brothers, go, defeat the San Antonios and congratulate Alonzo on his accession!" ”
"Defeat the San Antonio!" The Bobcats players roared together and ran out of the locker room after Huaben.
The lineup of the Spurs for this game is: center Nesterovich, power forward Duncan, small forward Bowen Bow, playmaker Parker, and scoring guard Ginobili.
At this time, the Argentine Demon Knife is not the best sixth man of the Spurs, and there is another candidate for this position, which is Malik. Ross.
In this lineup, the worst should be Nesterovic in the center position, in fact, he is not weak, but he is not suitable for the NBA system, in Europe, Nesterovic is famous, Slovenia won the European Championship in 1998, and he is the boss of the team. Otherwise, the Timberwolves, who already have Garnett, would not have selected him with the 17th pick in the first round when they entered the NBA draft. After coming to the NBA, Nesterovic's scoring ability has been weakened, and his defensive ability has always been a shortcoming of European players, and his style of play is suspected of being soft. However, the focus of the Spurs' low post is Duncan, and the role of the center is weakened.
The Bobcats sent out the old lineup: center Oku, European inside to European inside, with him to contain Nesterovich, Jordan is very relieved. The power forward is Wajben, who will face Duncan directly and directly; The small forward is Gerrard. Wallace, steel and iron against Uncle Bao, defended with a defensive battle; Playmaking guard Pattin, scoring guard Andreas Iguodala.
Wajmoto and Ginobili had met at the Olympics and had a very speculative conversation, and after the players from both sides entered, he came over to talk. Parker and Duncan also came over, and all three were introverted players with good relationships.
Duncan watched as Wabbon and Ginobili chatted hotly, while Parker watched from the sidelines.
Huaben touched Ginobili's head, and the latter kicked him with a smile and scolded, "Don't you know that this action is insulting? ”
Huaben doesn't matter, when will you not touch it now? He knew that Ginobili's head would be bare in two seasons, and the demon knife would become a bald knife. After playing with Ginobili for a while, he was about to exchange feelings with Duncan and Parker, but when he turned his head, he happened to see Parker looking at the Bobcats bench with affection.
Eva sat on the bench with a smile and watched the game, Huaben's McDonald's commercial was not over yet, she accompanied him throughout the whole process, ready to take him to shoot the commercial at any time.
