338. The Boss Comeback Entering December, the Bobcats have a record of 9 games and 6 losses, 6 losses and 3 wins in the last 8 games, and an overall record of 17 wins and 6 losses, with the second record in the East, ahead of the Pistons who are 18 wins and 6 losses.

Despite Wabe's departure, the Pistons still retain 80 percent of their fighting power from last season, and the reason why they did not achieve the expected goal is related to the fighting spirit of the players. Because of the team's negative attitude in the Sid race incident, the black players are resentful of this team, and Huaben left, they all think that it is the team's reason, as long as the club stood up to Huaben even if it was just a little leak to help Huaben, he would not leave Charlotte in anger.

Of course, it's too late to say that, and all the team can do is make up for it and give the players a big monetary reward, as long as they can play the same level as last season and contribute enough beautiful games. The team board that only has money in its eyes hasn't figured it out yet, and now the Pistons' problem has nothing to do with money.

On December 22, 2004, the Bobcats celebrated their 10th game of December and 24th of the season. At the same time, on this day, this season's All-Star voting ceremony opened, including Waben, and because of the outstanding performance of Patin and Wang Zhizhi in recent times, the two also occupied a place on the list of guards and forwards respectively.

It's still early for the All-Star to be a star, and now fans across the United States are paying attention to Game 24 of the Bobcats, and their opponent is the newcomer King Little Emperor LeBron. James' Cavaliers.

In addition to the big shark of the Heat, there is also the little emperor who is now in full swing, if it wasn't for the Pistons who killed the Cavaliers in the final stage of the regular season last season, the little emperor would have been able to taste the playoffs in his rookie season. It is because of Warben that it was the Celtics and not the Cavaliers who finally entered the playoffs, and for this reason, the two teams also formed a hatred.

In the Olympics, Huaben played quite well with LeBron and Anthony, which can be regarded as a release of the previous suspicions, but this just means that off the court, things on the court have nothing to do with friendship, and the hatred between Huaben and the Cavaliers continues.

Originally, when he learned that Warben was suspended for 10 games, LeBron was still happy, because they were going to Charlotte to play against the Bobcats in Game 9. He was happy for less than a day, and a thunderbolt came from the sky, and Huaben's ban was changed, from 10 games to 8 games, and he came back on the day he played against the Cavaliers.

Hearing the news, LeBron really wanted to grab Stern's neck and shake him violently and ask him, "Are you still my godfather?" What are you going to do? Why did you only ban him for eight games?! ”

LeBron walked into Time Warner Center with a heavy heart, he didn't care about the fans' boos, he just thought, it seems that he can't work hard today.

The 20,000 seats at the Time Warner Center were full today, and in the previous game, there were even only 60% of the seats, and some people didn't come to watch the game even if they bought a season ticket, for the simple reason that who wants to watch their own team abuse people?

In fact, after the players played, the Bobcats players began to enter.

Brandon. Hunter, Steve. Smith, Blazech, White, the dragons entered first, and then Martin, Allen, Wang Zhizhi, these more important substitutes, and finally the starter, Patin was the penultimate appearance, he played very well in the four games after his comeback, plus he was handsome, and quickly accumulated a lot of popularity for him, so there were many people wearing his jersey, especially women.

After Pattin's appearance, the Time Warner Center suddenly fell silent, the lights of the stadium were turned off, and the huge stadium was pitch black. In the past, this was the favorite moment of lone men and women, but this time, everyone turned their eyes to the players' tunnel and quietly listened to DJ's passionate commentary:

"Let us welcome with the warmest applause, the most sincere cheers, our six-foot-eight super center, the unrivaled powerful big man in the league, the only conqueror in this land of America, the number one tough guy in the eyes of the whole world, the messenger sent by God on the basketball court, our beloved boss - ben. wwallaceeeee!!ee

When DJ said Huaben's name, a powerful golden light suddenly appeared, shining straight towards the players' tunnel, and this light was like a sharp sword, tearing through the dark night with joy. In the golden glow, an extremely strong figure slowly walked out, as if he had come to hold the golden sword.

Hua Ben's figure appeared, and the cheers of the fans began to sound, and the sound was earth-shattering, like a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean that rushed into the stadium, and the big one could almost shatter the roof of the stadium.

On both sides of the players' tunnel, four big men stood up with a roar, and the four of them wore their upper bodies, and each of them wrote a letter in oil paint on their chests, which combined together: H, E, R, O (heroes). There are also Chinese fans holding signs with the two big characters 'boss' written in Chinese characters.

Hua Ben walked out slowly, first saluted the four people with oil paint on their chests, then waved to the fans holding signs, and finally spread his hands as far as he could, and high-fived the fans who stretched out their hands on both sides of the passage.

The Bobcats have a new tradition of selecting lucky young fans to wait outside the players' tunnel before each home game to get a chance to high-five the players. Huaben finally high-fived the children, and a blonde boy shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Ben, cool!" ”

Waben smiled, patted him on the head, and said, "But don't fight on the court like I did." ”

The lights were turned on again, Hua Ben beat his chest and cheered for his teammates, and the game officially kicked off.

LeBron's eyes were on fire by Huaben's comeback treatment, Nima, what little emperor? This is the treatment of the emperor, how can Lao Tzu be called the emperor? Not even a general! But that's too arrogant, isn't it? Okay, I'll be sure to surprise you later!

When Wabbon approached Pattin, he gave him a hug, patted him on the back and said, "Thank you, brother, you did a good job ahead!" In many teams, you can be the boss! ”

Padding gave Wabbon a punch and laughed, "Are you testing me?" For now I'm satisfied, it's more appropriate for you to be the boss, isn't it, brethren?! ”

Iguodala took the lead in cheering, Jordan smiled and applauded, he was also a little worried that Padin would be as unwilling to be the second child as Kobe Bryant after he played, and a harmonious locker room was the biggest guarantee for a team's continuous victory. Padding's attitude made Jordan's heart settle down a lot, and when he saw Padding, he thought of a person, Scott. Pippen!

Patin does have the right to go it alone, and the Bobcats have a 2-2 record since his return, averaging 17.5 points, 16 assists and three steals per game, and the Player of the Week of the Week award for the third week in the Eastern Conference was given to him.

Internally stable, all that's left to do is to be consistent with the outside world, and unfortunately, the Cavaliers are the first team to receive such treatment.

Huaben and Padding used to chat with LeBron for a while, the little emperor is really immature, although he has a smile on his face, but the way he gritted his teeth when he speaks still lets people know his plan: Let's see, I want revenge.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers has changed a lot from last season, mainly because Boozer's departure has too much impact on the interior, and now, point guard: McGinnis, point guard: Snow, small forward: James, power forward: Gooden, center: Ilgeskas Wajben returns, Bobcats everything is back on track, center: Huaben, power forward: Oku, small forward: Gerrard, point guard: Iguodala, playmaking guard: Pattin.

For the opponent of the Cavaliers, Hua Ben really didn't pay much attention to it, and a lot of things happened to the Cavaliers this summer, which caused their strength to drop sharply. First of all, the death of Osowowski, the team's beloved veteran assistant coach, and the departure of Boozer, the main power forward for three seasons, to the Utah Jazz, the current Cavaliers can no longer turn the game into James' individual show like last season, as long as they can win, James will have to do the dirty work.

Of course, those who underestimate the Cavaliers tend to suffer a lot, although the impact of losing Boozer to the Cavaliers is huge, and the power forward has been the Cavaliers' main source of rebounds and second-leading scorer in the first two seasons. However, to compensate, the Cavaliers' president Paxson quickly poached Gooden and Varegao from the Magic, who could make up for Boozer's position to some extent.

Moreover, the Cavaliers also strengthened their backcourt in the summer. The backcourt of James, McGinnis and Snow is now impeccable in terms of passing and attacking power, and is much more secure than Myers used to control the ball.

The reason why Huaben doesn't take the Cavaliers seriously is because the Cavaliers' outside stalwart last season, Capono, is now with the Bobcats.

From the start of the season, the Cavaliers' lack of outside firepower has been highlighted. In fact, this Achilles' heel was already in the team a few years ago, but with Capono gone, the problem is clearer - is there anything clearer than the 6-18 record so far in the opening game? Current Cavaliers head coach Paul. Silas is almost out of class.

After the warm-up, the game started as the manager blew the whistle. After the players of the two teams stood still, the referee first instructed: "Listen, it's good for me, now we have said above, the stricter the whistle, the better, so if you don't want to get off the field early, give me a leisurely look!" Whoever dares to play yin, I will send him home directly! ”

The referee deliberately turned his eyes on Hua Ben's body a few times, which made Hua Ben very angry: When have I ever played Yin? I'm all above board, okay?!

Ilgoskas and Oku jumped the ball, the former was instructed by the little emperor before the game, and today he held his strength and played well and took the lead in grabbing the ball.

Snow held the ball and commanded his teammates to settle down, Ilgoskas and Gooden were stuck in the penalty area on the left and right, and Huaben handed over the little emperor to Gerrard, and he stood in the center while resisting Gooden, ready to make up for defense and respond at any time: Jordan said that the current Cavaliers are not lethal on the outside, just guard the penalty area.

The ball fell in the hands of several people, and Huaben kept moving without a shot.

LeBron ran to the three-point line, McNeese passed the ball, and Gerrard stayed about a step away from LeBron, staring at him and waiting for him to break through.

LeBron looked at Gerrard, then at Warben, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. Then, from beyond the three-point line, he jumped up and shook his hand to shoot!
