348. View of Charlotte at four o'clock in the morning

For Bobcats fans, Wahben was unfortunate enough to predict the final outcome in the third quarter.

After all, the Raptors are just the Raptors, it is not the Spurs, not the Jazz, and not the Pistons. When Huaben led the Bobcats to launch an onslaught in the third quarter, the team panicked, and in addition to Carter, the remaining two cores, Bosh and Okafor, one is a sophomore and the other is a rookie, who is too inexperienced.

Although Carter is an All-Star level forward, his tenacity and fighting spirit have always been criticized, believing that he does not meet his value at critical moments, and can only play the wind, but he cannot lead his teammates to move forward from adversity as a leader. Today's game added to the profile of his critics and media, and Carter, who was brilliant in the first half, also turned off in the second half, showing nothing of what a team boss should be.

At the end of the first half, the Bobcats led by just one point. By the end of the third quarter, that one point had become 10 points, and the game was over, and the Bobcats had left the Air Canada Center gymnasium with a 109-85 win and 24 points!

After slaughtering the Cavaliers, Warburn was still unbeatable in this game, scoring 57 points, 20 rebounds and six blocks on 20-of-31 shooting, and it was because of his continued outbursts that the Bobcats were able to continue their victory.

People who watched the game had to admit that Huaben had an important surname for the Bobcats, and the team showed signs of collapse in the first quarter, but Huaben immediately shot to stabilize the team's rhythm and stabilize the situation.

People who watched the game were even more surprised, how could Hua Ben suddenly show superb backward jump shooting skills in this game?!

The backward jumper is not an inside step, Huaben himself is very flexible and explosive, and he used to be on the offensive end because he couldn't find an empty position because his brain was not bright. Just like a person who plays chess, he only sees which move should be taken in front of him, but he can't calculate how to take the next five or even ten moves, so naturally he can't play an empty position. The inside footsteps can be explained by an epiphany, because Huaben hired Olajuwon as a teacher, which may be that he suddenly opened his mouth.

But what about the step-back jumper?

If you have this stuff in a hurry, then Kobe, Maddie, Hill, and now Carter will definitely drown you with spittle: We have been practicing this thing since we were teenagers, and we have practiced it until today, and you suddenly have an epiphany and have completely inherited Jordan's ability, so if it works, why should we practice a bird? Wouldn't it be better to go to Zen together with a futon?

Fortunately, when Huaben and Jordan arrived at the press conference, the helper said a lot of good things to him: "Actually, I wasn't surprised today, because Ben asked me every day for advice on the technique of back-up jumpers, and he worked very hard in training, yes, very hard!" Every day he would come to the training gym at 4:30 in the morning and then practice until 10:30 in the evening before going home, all of which was a reward for his hard work.

Ben's step-back jumper was good a few days ago, but he never showed it. Yes, he, like me, is a perfectionist who prefers to keep it in his heart until he has polished a technique to perfection. ”

Hua Ben looked at Jordan with admiration, he is worthy of being a person who has dealt with reporters for 20 years, this face, this heart, this mouth, there are still so many places to learn!

Thanks to Jordan back then, he also suddenly showed the stunt of the step-back jumper in the game: although he made it after a summer of hard training, he was suddenly exposed in front of fans and opponents. With examples and explanations, everything falls into place.

In particular, it is not the first time that Huaben has brought such a surprise to the fans and such a horror to the opponent.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Hua Ben suddenly turned a terrible free throw basket into a magic shot; In the finals, he had an epiphany about dream dance steps; In the Olympic finals, his breakthrough also came suddenly, so fans can only think that he is the kind of perfectionist that Jordan said.

A reporter asked him the secret of his success and said, "Do you have anything to teach the fans?" What do you think about your success? ”

Hua Ben said flatly: "When you have seen the scenery of Charlotte at half past four in the morning and the night scene at eleven o'clock in the evening, then you can do better than me." ”

This sentence made the reporters awe-inspired, and since then, Huaben's name as the "No. 1 Hard-working Player" has been publicized. When coaches or fans inspire anyone, they will use this quote from Huaben: "When you have seen the scenery of Charlotte at half past four in the morning and the night scene at eleven o'clock in the evening, then you can do better than him." ”

Jordan lowered his head and drew a cross on his chest for the undetectable, while muttering in his heart: "God, forgive me for my words, I am an honest person and never lie, but if I don't say that today, then I will have to eat a basketball." God, you don't want me to see you so early, do you? ”

Looking at the grand scene of the press conference through the LCD screen in the locker room, Iguodala asked in surprise: "Really?" The boss came to the stadium at half past four? Leaving at eleven o'clock in the evening? Who the fuck is it that hits me behind my ass every time I hit the field? And, Tony, was the boss still there when you left the arena at night? ”

Iguodala trains every day with his watch pinched, and Jordan says that if training starts at nine, then he will never arrive at half past eight, usually at eight fifty-five. Hua Ben was even more ruthless, that guy didn't set foot in the stadium before 8:59. However, Aaron is very diligent, and he will not leave the gym until about nine o'clock every night.

"Or maybe the Boss was talking about practicing in his private gym?" Pure Martin guessed.

Padding, who lived with Huaben, said disdainfully: "Pull it down, the boss will play hooligan when he comes home, the training hall is my and Memet's special show!" ”

Fans don't know this, they just know that Huaben is the most hard-working star in the league.

Americans have always liked those who are hardworking, because they themselves are lazy, so Huaben's image in the minds of journalists has suddenly become taller, so that his views on some issues are of course valued.

A reporter respectfully asked, "Mr. Wallace, I'm a reporter for Michigan Sports, and I want to ask, what do you think of the current voting situation for the starting forwards in the Eastern Conference All-Star Game?" ”

Hua Ben slapped the table, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Do you need to say this?" The eyes of the fans are bright, who has the number of votes now? Whoever is number one will say who is the most popular with the fans! What is the All-Star Game for? It was an entertaining event, not a show for anyone! Do you know what I mean? Don't understand? It's okay, I continued. ”

"Ahem," Wabben continued with a cough, "it's the fan-favorite who gets on the All-Star stage, not the most powerful, and if you're as handsome as I am — huh, what the fuck are you guys looking at?" Just kidding! If you have as many fans as Wang, then you should have more votes than him, if not as good as him, it means that more fans want to see him on the pitch, and we have to respect the opinions of the fans. ”

Now some Asian journalists have arrived, and with the rise of Wang Zhizhi, the Chinese media is focusing not only on Yao Ming, but also on Wang Zhizhi, the former CBA overlord. Hearing Hua Ben's words, these reporters gave him a thumbs up: Daben pure masters, iron-blooded real men; A good brother to the people, a good son to a father; You can stand on your fists and walk on your arms; The chest is broken with boulders, and the chrysanthemum is opened; Hard twice a year, hard once for half a year

In fact, if Wang Zhizhi was not his subordinate, then Jordan would definitely jump out to question this matter, and asked the league to change the All-Star voting rules.

The problem is that now Wang Zhizhi happens to be a disciple of Jordan, and it is his turn to create benefits for the team except for Hua Ben. Whether it is for the sake of face or votes, as the head coach, he Jordan has the responsibility to stand up to him, so Jordan followed Huaben's words and said:

"What do you question him? Is it his ability? Wang played 31 minutes today, scoring 16 points, eight rebounds, two blocks, and one time blocking an All-Star level opponent! What does this mean? Jordan later thought that it was a bit unreasonable to play 30 minutes and score 16 points to participate in the All-Star Games, so he changed the angle, "Someone played 40 minutes, how many points did he get?" I look, well, it's 21 points, 7 rebounds, not a single block! He doesn't have as many rebounds as Wang, and although he scores more than Wang, Wang only made 12 shots, but what about this person? 19 times! ”

Carter watched Jordan talking triumphantly there, and his teeth itched, you said that the All-Star in '03 gave you the starting honor for a while? Yes, Lao Tzu scored 21 points on 19 shots, but who the is defending Lao Tzu? You're wrapping me around all the time! Yes, Lao Tzu only has 7 rebounds, but the Lao Tzu is a swing man, and you ate my 10 assists?

In any case, someone stood up to speak to Wang Zhizhi, and both of them were very big names, so the votes in the hands of domestic fans were even happier. Moreover, because of Huaben's excellent performance and his righteousness, many wavering fans in China helped Wang Zhizhi to swipe his tickets at the same time, so Huaben's votes skyrocketed.

After Hua Ben's return, he cut two consecutive 50+20 games, creating a comeback record. However, the Bobcats did have a problem, and Jordan understood that if it weren't for the fact that Hua Ben suddenly got the favor of his god and gave him a step-back jumper, he would have lost today.

The Bobcats uniform team discussed it and decided to strengthen the team. The biggest hole in the current team is the point guard, and when Padding is off the court, the scuffle starts on the court. Moreover, Patin is not very suitable for the current Bobcats, what the Bobcats need is not a guard like him who is extremely creative, terrifying in attack, and has a genius in mind, but needs a guard who is balanced in attack and defense, simple-minded but physically strong, and Patin is in the Bobcats, which is really a bit of a waste.

But after browsing the market, there are either no point guards suitable for reinforcement, or the price is too high for the mountain cats to play. Later, the team consulted Hua Ben, who thought about it and put forward the idea of the team strengthening the inside line.

Mo Ning's playing time is limited, Oku and Wang Zhizhi teamed up to defend like a sieve, Hua Ben can't spend too much energy on defense, because his attack power is getting stronger and stronger, and the Bobcats don't want to buy an iron gate for 20 million.
