Early the next morning, Eva and the others were surprised to see Hua Ben reciting the Qur'an with Olajuwon, the two of them facing the east, their expressions serious, and the warm and soft morning sun bathing their bodies, which seemed to have a kind of sacredness.

If there is no purring coming out, it will be perfect.

Olajuwon really wanted to slap Waben to the ground, didn't he start asking him to pray morning prayers at four o'clock in the morning? As for sitting, can you fall asleep?

Cheryl and Bell laughed and took pictures of Huaben with their cameras, bursts of cheerful laughter floating in the air.

Hua Ben opened his eyes dimly, and saw that everyone in the villa was watching him laughing not far away, and Oku and Padding were also laughing happily, which made him angry: "What are you laughing at? You think I want to sleep? Nima only slept at one o'clock last night and got up at four o'clock in the morning. Let me tell you, if I don't sleep well, my physical strength will not recover well, and if my physical strength is not recovered, my strength will not be able to play well, and if my strength is not played well, then the team will lose! ”

Crow's mouth, if he knew the situation in the next few games, Huaben would definitely not say such.

Because, starting from the second game, the Bobcats ushered in a gorgeous preseason seven-game losing streak, that is, except for the first game to win against the Magic, they lost all the subsequent games

Jordan finally regained his tyrant nature, and scolded people when he caught them in the training game, except for Hua Ben, no one else escaped this catastrophe. You know, it's been a long time since Joe has experienced the thrill of a seven-game losing streak, especially since many of their opponents are fish belly teams like the Bucks and Grizzlies.

From the first game, attendance at the Time Warner Center has been declining, from 20,000 full seats to half and half empty at the end, and Charlotte fans have expressed their displeasure in a subtle way. However, the media will not be so subtle.

From Sports Weekly to the Charlotte Express, almost every media outlet has been critical of the Bobcats.

The Los Angeles Times finally seized the opportunity for revenge, and Angel City fans were always haunted by the Pistons' sense of stealing them, and the newspaper commented on the story with the headline "Bobcats set record for worst preseason record, and the road to losing has just begun", in which columnist Dmitry Medvedev expressed his unique opinion:

"The Bobcats took a big gamble in the summer when they signed center Ben, who performed well last season, with a maximum salary. Wallace, in addition to that, picked a bunch of rookies and some leftover players, which really makes people laugh out of their big teeth. I don't know what temptation was made by the uniform team of the Bobcats to make such a stupid move. Wallace's dual MVP status? However, didn't the Bobcats see their teammates next to Mr. MVP at the time? He can win the championship, not because of how strong he is, but because his opponents are infighting and his teammates are too strong! And it happened to be a contract year, so it broke out. But the outburst can't be sustained, so, he's been beaten back to the prototype, look at his stats, and look at our Kobe, and you'll see the gap."

When I saw this newspaper, Gerald. Wallace is crazy, who do you say is the leftover? Who are leftovers? You're the offcuts, and your whole family is the offcuts!

Slam Dunk magazine also expressed concern about the future of the Bobcats in its season predictions, with the Spurs in first place in the league's 30-team power rankings, the defending champion Pistons in second place, the Heat who got the sharks in third, the Rockets in which the Chinese are most concerned in eighth, and the Bobcats in penultimate position. Moreover, the reason why it is not the first from the bottom is that the editors gave Hua Ben face, and felt that it would be too face-saving to rank a team with a double MVP in the bottom one.

Indeed, from the point of view of data, Huaben's results are really not very good now, and those who averaged close to 30+15 per game last season only scored 17 points and 8 rebounds in eight preseason games, which is half of the data. However, no one paid attention to the fact that Huaben only played 21 minutes, which is almost half the playing time last season.

The preseason doesn't give points to redeem, so what are you doing desperately? Huaben played a lot of tension in the preseason, more opportunities on the offensive end were given to the rookies, and many contributions on the defensive end could not be reflected in the data, so it was normal to be misunderstood.

It's just that as the game goes on, Huaben's performance has never been eye-catching, and the misunderstanding has become a unique opinion. By the end of the preseason, even ESPN and TNT believed that the Bobcats would have nothing to do this season, and the Minnesota Sports Newspaper even set the Bobcats' four-year, 88 million contract for Huaben as the first poison contract in history.

Before a single game was played in the regular season, Huaben became a typical representative of degenerate players, especially after a reporter discovered that former Hollywood actress Bale, Alba, and two other more beautiful girls were living with Huaben. As soon as this news came out, Hua Ben immediately suffered verbal criticism, and the male reporter couldn't bear the envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart, why, we can only fight each other with the left and right hands of the single, but this villain can play group P every night?

With this pathetic indignation, the reporters crusaded more vigorously.

"Can you still stand it, boss?" Iguodala hugged a stack of newspapers and asked with concern, "Why don't you read it, these things, alas, I feel terrified when I read them." How could this man be like this? These damn paparazzi are so hurtful. ”

Hua Ben was flipping through several newspapers in his hand, and under his ass was a pile of newspapers at least half a meter thick, and one of the newspapers Charlotte was selling was counted as a copy, and he found someone to buy them.

Listening to Iguodala's words, he stretched out his hand while looking down at the contents of the newspaper and said, "It's okay, give it to me, I can withstand it." ”

Iguodala gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss, pure man, iron-blooded man, I mean, if you can't stand it, you will let the four sisters-in-law temporarily come to me to avoid the limelight, boss, what kind of eyes are you?" Don't get me wrong, I'm purely for you, in fact, I have a sweetheart, really, a beautiful Mexican girl, boss, I want to marry her, really. ”

Hua Ben glanced at him, scooped up the newspaper, and said viciously: "You kid don't plan for me in this regard, what is a little public opinion turmoil?" Hmph, you've never seen anything more powerful. Go and go, don't, I can stand your boss. ”

He opened the "California Entertainment Star", and the boss had a headline: "One dragon and four phoenixes are rare in history, and the man with the most surname Fu is actually him".

Seeing this title, Hua Ben smiled, damn, Lao Tzu is shameless anyway, you are doing Lao Tzu a favor by splashing dirty water like this. It's okay now, the yellow mud falls into the crotch of his pants, it's not but it's, and now the four girls of Eva are pressing their own big badges on their faces.

Seeing Hua Ben laughing, Aaron, who was practicing strength, asked Iguodala worriedly: "Big brother, boss, what's the situation?" Will he be driven crazy? ”

Iguodala rubbed the thick stubble on her chin and said hesitantly, "Probably not, right?" Our boss, that's also a character, this kind of trivial thing will be driven crazy? ”

"Why don't you go over and ask?" Martin leaned in and asked.

Iguodala was about to get up, Martin reached out and grabbed him, glanced at Wang Zhizhi next to him, and then whispered: "Let the king of China go, he has a good relationship with the captain, maybe he can ask something." ”

"Makes sense." Iguodala nodded, ran to Wang Zhizhi's side and said slowly, "Wang, the boss has been in a bad mood recently, you go and ask, don't go crazy, then we will be children without a father and no mother, what will we do when other teams bully us, isn't it?" ”

"Okay." Wang Zhizhi said happily that now he is very comfortable with the Bobcats, and in the past, whether in the Mavericks or the Heat, the players isolated him. Here, all the players are equal to each other, except for Huaben, who is either a rookie or a role player from another team, and there is nothing arrogant. Moreover, he has received unprecedented attention with the Bobcats, averaging nearly twenty minutes per game in the preseason, and Jordan has also mentioned to him that when his confrontation ability improves, the playing time can be increased.

Wang Zhizhi just approached and didn't speak, Hua Ben shook his hand and said, "Needless to say, I know what you want to ask, go training with peace of mind." Damn, the opening battle the day after tomorrow, tell the brothers, you must take it for me! ”

"Yes!" Wang Zhizhi stood up straight and replied loudly, as if he had become a soldier again.

The outside world was not optimistic about the opening game of the Bobcats, and their opponents were none other than Warburn's former club, the defending champion Pistons. Although the core of the Pistons left Charlotte last season, experts are still optimistic about the team.

Huaben's position is not irreplaceable, and the maturing Milicic may not be as good as him, but not much worse (expert opinion). With him to complement Waben, plus Rashid, Prince, Hamilton and Billups, the team remains favourites to win the title.

In the midst of the bustling skepticism from the outside world, on October 28, the regular season of the 2004-05 season kicked off, and the time came for the league's 30 teams to test the results after a summer.

This year's opener was followed by the theme of 'revenge', O'Neal led the Heat to fight back against his old club Lakers, the Rockets led by Maddy and Yao Ming played against the old club Magic, and Huaben's Bobcats went to the away to challenge the Pistons.

For the alliance's shameless arrangement, Hua Ben gritted his teeth with hatred. Unlike O'Neal, the Sharks were traded away and waited to get revenge on Kobe Bryant one summer, and he was a hero in Los Angeles. What about Huaben? Although Wajben's reasons for leaving are also legitimate, even involving racial issues, and he is completely desperate for the team to leave, this is not a reason for him to look directly at Detroit fans.

Strictly speaking, Huaben's career began with the Pistons, and he once expected to end with the Pistons, but now it seems that everything is a joke.

Wajben knows he's going to be back in Detroit sooner or later, and he's going to play three games this season. But he didn't want to face this team as soon as the game started, and the palace in Auburn Hills, which had been his royal palace, had now become an enemy camp for him to capture, how ironic!

On October 26, 2004, all the players of the Bobcats, plus the coaching staff and service staff, embarked on a special plane to Detroit, and this new army joined the NBA battlefield. Its first stop is just around the corner.

What happens when you get to Detroit? Hua Ben didn't know, but he could guess with his ass, and it would definitely not be welcome. After learning that he had left Charlotte, it is unknown how many fans burned his jersey. In the media that attacked him a few days ago, reporters from Detroit have been at the forefront of the attack.
