Fighting viciously in San Antonio and Dallas in a row, Hua Ben is really tired, now the team can't do without him, and unstable, he not only has to show an invincible posture on the court, but also to be a mentor to rookies off the court, maintain the friendship between players, the Bobcats can be called an international column, the players are happy on the surface, but different living customs, different cultures, or will lead to some small conflicts, which need to be solved by Hua Ben.

With the help of strong performances in these games, Huaben was voted the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks, and behind the endless accolades is endless exhaustion.

Thinking that he was going to shoot an advertisement without even taking a vacation, Hua Ben was very upset, and went home and sat in the car, looking at the lawn in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Eva came over and asked when she saw that he hadn't gotten out of the car for a long time, and Alba looked at him with concern.

Hua Ben smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little tired." ”

Running over San Antonio and Dallas, although it was not back-to-back, he kept fighting and his body was a little overwhelmed.

Alba said, "Otherwise, you might as well take a break?" Forget about the advertisement, I'll go and discuss with McDonald's and postpone it, anyway, it's more than a month before Christmas, so it's not in a hurry. ”

Eva smiled bitterly: "It's not just McDonald's, but also the big star Hathaway, if Ben doesn't go this time, then her agent will be caught, and the media will definitely smear and attack Ben, it's not a joke." ”

Alba waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll negotiate, it should be fine." Besides, what about smear attacks? Would Ben have been afraid? Will we be afraid? I'm not afraid of journalists at all. ”

Hua Ben really wanted to give himself a vacation, and when he heard what Alba said, he directly agreed. Yes, why are you afraid of media smearing? He has earned a lot of money that he can't spend all his life, and even if he retires now, he can live comfortably, so why bother to be so in the eyes of people in the unexpected world? That's not interesting.

"A word to wake up the dreamer." Huaben looked at Alba with tears in his eyes, "You are really my life coach, Jessica, thank you for your guidance"

Alba made a stop gesture and smiled coquettishly, "Forget it, Ben, I'm your agent, and that's what I deserve." I mean, don't think about it, okay, I'm going to do my job, you have a good rest. ”

How do you rest? Hua Ben began to arrange this hard-won free time.

Now Huaben prays with Olajuwon every day, and his attitude towards Islam changes from disgust to acceptance to a little affection. He didn't know much about the doctrine now, but what he liked was the feeling of peace of mind and body when he prayed, and the whole person seemed to be standing in a paradise to enjoy the light, and there was nothing but grass and red flowers and a breeze.

Patin called Iguodala and the others to go fishing, and it was strange that Iguodala, who had a rough surname, liked fishing as a quiet form of entertainment. Hua Ben didn't have any arrangements, and he also went fishing with a fishing rod and bucket.

When he arrived at the lake, Hua Ben sat under a parasol and squinted his eyes while holding a fishing rod, which was a good place to sleep.

After a day of adjustment, Hua Ben participated in the training of the Bobcats again, and Hua Ben was much more energetic. Now even a hard-nosed guy like Wabeen is tired, let alone those rookies. Jordan and the Bobcats' uniform team have been worried about rookies encountering the rookie wall, Iguodala and others only play more than 30 games a year in the NCAA, and the interval between games is long, and there is a high-intensity confrontation almost two days after coming to the NBA, and their physical strength is unbearable.

Fortunately, Huaben has been carrying the team forward, carrying most of the responsibility on his shoulders, although the rookies are a little tired, but the victory has always stimulated them to continue to secrete adrenaline, and they can still maintain a strong state.

On November 21, 2004, the Bobcats hosted the Magic team they had played in the preseason game, and Howard Jr. was once again a guest on Time Warner Center.

The Magic's record has improved dramatically this season, with a 6-5 win rate of over 50% in 11 games, which is a remarkable improvement from last season's seven-game losing streak.

Howard has had a relatively comfortable time during this time, thanks to the Magic team for not running into a strong team, and now is an era when the center is withering, he played quite well, and he took the Rookie of the Week award in the second week. As for Okafor, unlike in his previous life, when he arrived at the Bobcats, he was treated as a core training, in the Raptors, the inside line was from Bosh and there was Carter on the outside, he was only a three-man master, there were not many opportunities to shoot, and at most of the time he was still doing dirty work, so the data was not outstanding.

Howard averaged 18 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks per game in his last three games in the last week, and his dominance has delighted Orlando fans. Therefore, in an interview with reporters before the game, Howard first humbly praised the Eastern Conference Weekly Mr. Hubben for two consecutive weeks, and then issued a battle letter:

"I know I wasn't good enough in pre-season, I'm a really strong guy. But it was my first official race and I haven't adapted to the game yet. It's different now, I've been here for a long time, I'm no longer a rookie, I think I have more means and ideas in the face of Ben, I'm not saying I'm better than him, in fact, there is no better person in the league than him, but I can play a game that surprises everyone, today wouldn't have been as easy as a month ago, maybe, he's probably going to have to taste the taste of defeat today. ”

The Bobcats are now fat and want a bite to take a bite of, and they have won 10 in a row, and any team that ends their victory will become the darling of the fans.

Erin. Andrews relayed Howard's challenge, and Waben clapped his hands and posed Wong Fei Hung's classic pose, and the answer was simple: "Let the horses go!" ”

Now the Time Warner Center has become the liveliest place in Charlotte, and the Hornets used to dislike the bad atmosphere of basketball in this city, but the Bobcats proved that it's not that fans don't like to watch, it's that you play unpopular with fans. Since the three consecutive wins, the Bobcats tickets have been sold very hot, and almost every home court of Charlotte local Chinese fans has not missed it, and they have specially cheered for Wang Zhizhi, which has further enhanced Wang Zhizhi's status in the Bobcats.

Wafben entered the stadium to a landslide cheer, his orange and white No. 1 jersey fluttering around as if it were a flag.

Facing the outstretched arms of the fans, Hua Ben opened his hands and high-fived them, while nodding to the fans on both sides. Fans around the tunnel, draped in his No. 1 shirt, remembers that at the start of the season, most of the fans who came to see the game wore the jerseys of NC State, Duke Blues and even Wake Forest, and now, in less than a month, he has changed the attitude of fans towards the Bobcats, which is a remarkable achievement.

The game was a battle between the best center in the East, Wajben, and rising star center Howard, and the rookie of the previous two weeks, with Iguodala and Howard facing each other, even though they weren't in alignment. It can also be said that this game was the Bobcats encircling Howard.

The Bobcats' starting lineup is basically fixed: center Huaben, power forward Oku, small forward Gerrard, playmaking guard Pattin, and shooting guard Iguodala.

The Magic's starting lineup is exactly the same as in the preseason: center Howard, power forward Kevin. Cato, small forward Turkoglou, playmaking guard Francis, shooting guard Mobley. However, now the management of the Magic team has made it clear that they want to promote Howard to the top, and the team has only one core, which is Howard.

Today, Hua Ben personally came to jump the ball, and there are not many opportunities to bully rookie monsters, and when he matures in the future, this guy will be difficult to deal with.

Hua himself is the shortest of the center, and Howard is not much taller. Howard's official height is 6 feet 11 inches, or 2.11 meters, but Hua Ben is 2.06 meters tall. But there's nothing wrong with this, Howard is only 18 years old, and his development hasn't stopped, and now he has just entered the league, and he is indeed quite short, so every time he faces Yao Ming, he suffers so much - Yao Ming's 2.26 meters is useless.

Standing in the midfield, Howard looked at Waben and said unconvinced: "Ben, you said you have six feet ten?" This must be fake, I'll be honest, I'm only six feet eleven, but you certainly didn't use six feet ten, you lied. ”

Yo, this kid is growing up very fast, and he's only played a few games and will spew trash talk? Hua Ben said calmly: "You have six feet eleven, then I must be six feet ten." ”

The referee blew the whistle and tossed the ball up.

Howard was in a hurry to perform, and was about to jump as soon as he bent over, but he watched as someone jumped up just as he bent over

Huaben's bullet speed ranks first in the NBA!

Patin laughed twice when he got the ball, and Iguodala turned to look at him, and he explained, "That rookie has a good feeling today, he's going to fight Ben and Alonzo to get you!" ”

Francis was listening intently to Pattin's words when the ball suddenly flew out, and Wajben jumped the ball and quickly rushed forward, Howard followed him, and according to the big Van Gundy's request, Cato should have wrapped him up. However, the first ball Huaben advanced too fast, and Cato was still one step apart, and this step was life and death.

The ball flew quickly to the top of Huaben's head, he received the ball and fell to the ground, turned around and stuck to Howard to enter the basket, raised and waved it out with one arm, ignoring Howard next to him at all, it was directly a violent dunk, arrogant to the extreme, and contemptuous of Howard to the extreme!

Where did Howard expect someone to play so unconventionally? Everyone is not in place, why are you dunking so quickly?

This is a plus and a minus for Howard, who is the last traditional center in the NBA, although he is not traditional enough in height and technique, let alone a traditional big ass. Therefore, every time he fights Yao Ming, he is used to being in the back instead of going around like Oku and Boozer, and he is always easy to be blown up.

Francis skillfully dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he motioned to Mobley and Turkogrula, calmly passed the ball to Howard, and then watched his teammates' performance on the inside: This is a silent confrontation with Boss Fro, didn't you say that there is only one core Howard? Okay, then let the core do it yourself, and when the team keeps failing, you know who should be the core.

Boss Fergus's ability is top-notch in the NBA, but because of his arrogant surname, he is always not liked by the team's management.

Howard didn't know there was such a thing, he was just happy, and now Francis seems to be a lot more sensible, and he will give me the ball when he turns around, hey, that's a good thing.
