Chapter 562 The Regretful Randolph(1/2)
In the All-Star Game in New Orleans, the Eastern Conference All-Stars happily cleaned up Howard, the recently inflated Warcraft, and returned to the hell-like East with a satisfied smile.
The love and fight between the seven super teams and the quasi-super team Chicago Bulls on the sprint schedule is definitely the most tragic sprint schedule in NBA history.
Such a tragic schedule will of course attract the attention of the entire NBA.
Although the Charlotte Bobcats are no longer one of the biggest favorites in the championship, they are undoubtedly one of the participants in this good show.
Although Chen Xiao used a series of wins to preserve the dignity of himself and the defending champion after Randolph and Xiao Pao left, it is still hard to say what kind of results the Bobcats can achieve in the tragic sprint schedule.
On February 18, Chen Xiao returned to Charlotte. After the round with the team, Chen Xiao and his teammates took a special plane to San Antonio.
On February 19, the Bobcats and the Spurs will stage their first focus battle after the All-Stars.
As a result, in this game that is all the NBA concerned, the Bobcats who played away were crazy in the game. It was supposed to be a very exciting battle and was broken by the Bobcats.
Killing Huo is a trick that Nelson had done before the All-Stars. This "kind grandfather" who had developed the shark-cutting tactics, cut Howard into 38 free throws in a single game in the game between the Spurs and the Raptors before the All-Stars, scoring a career high of 45 points.
To be honest, Old Nelson failed in this game because the Raptors lost in the end, and Howard's free throw feels quite good in this game.
He made 21 free throws in 38. Those who know Howard know that this hit rate is really not easy, it is almost close to 60%. After all, with so many shots, the hit rate can reach nearly 60%, which is quite good for him.
This season, because of Howard's strong rise, coupled with his super talent, the space that Arenas and Ron Howard have opened for him, and the various legendary opportunities that Dior has created for him, let's put it that way, most teams have very weak defenses one-on-one-on-one.
Otherwise, it would not have been said that Howard ruled the entire league, and Yao Ming ruled Howard.
Although Howard is one-on-one Yao Mingcai's feet, how many Yao Mings are there in the entire league?
Do you really think it is so easy to eat, sleep and fight monsters?
Let's just say that, if Yao Yao was not 2.26 meters tall, he would not be able to withstand Howard's super athletic talent.
Howard played very strongly this season with the one-on-one opportunities created by Arenas, Ron Howard and Dior.
In addition, the Spurs' offensive system has gradually taken shape, and the Spurs' offensive power is really strong.
This makes many teams not know how to defend the Spurs now.
Old Nelson provided an idea for defensive Spurs' offense, that is, to kill Howard.
Although killing Howard can provide Howard with a free throw opportunity.
But Howard's free throw shooting percentage is average.
This makes the Spurs' single-round score not that high when Howard scored free throws. 1 of 2 in a round is only about 1 point, which is acceptable.
Moreover, killing Howard can also interrupt the Spurs' offensive rhythm, so this is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.
But, the Raptors were not very lucky before, and when they met Howard was accurate.
But no matter what, the Raptors' defense against the Spurs is indeed quite effective.
Old Nelson also opened a new century door for the entire league.
However, in this game, Howard did not feel that good.
And it's not just not that good feel. It's obvious that Howard hasn't come out of the All-Star Game two days ago and is so "taught" by the Eastern Conference All-Stars. Although Howard is smiling on his face, he must be MMP in his heart.
Howard, who has understood the spirit of the Wolf King, certainly wants the world to see his return.
But the more this happens, the more wrong his mentality will be in the free throw.
The more wrong you are in the end, the more anxious you are. In the end, the trick is not only affecting your own offense, affecting your teammates' offense, but also affecting your own defense.
You know, although Bynum is definitely not as good as Howard, Bynum is not the center forward who has been beaten by Howard. If Howard's mentality is unbalanced, Bynum can still be entangled.
In short, in this highly anticipated game, the two teams played very ugly.
In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Spurs, the second in the West 95-89 away game, which also blocked the Spurs' trend of rushing to the top in the West, which also helped Ke Dabo.
Speaking of which, this matter is really interesting.
Nash is competing for MVP with Kobe now. Logically, the worse the record between Kobe and the Lakers, the more beneficial it is to Nash. Therefore, Nash and the Raptors should support the Spurs, the second in the Western Conference.
However, for the sake of the finals, Old Nelson studied the invincible offensive situation of the Spurs during the game, and finally interrupted the invincible offensive status of the Spurs, which indirectly helped Kobe and the Lakers.
However, this is actually understandable. After the Spurs formed the offensive systems of Howard, Dior, Ron Howard and Arenas, the Spurs' offense was really strong.
Dwight Howard was really invincible at the basket one-on-one without encountering the Raptors, and he was simply a lightweight O'Neal.
Howard is the core, you can hit a one-star shot and then combine it with Dior as the core to pass and cut.
Then, the "shots" like Ron Howard and Arenas outside are superstars with super singles.
According to many experts, the entire Spurs' offense is simply O'Neal + Kobe + Jordan.
This is really not a joke.
It is indeed quite powerful, so that Kobe and the Lakers are also Alexander.
But now, things seem to have changed a little, and the Spurs' invincible process seems to have been interrupted by Old Nelson.
What does it mean?
Jiang is still so hot, and Popovich, the apprentice, was finally arranged by his teacher.
I have to say that after the head coach of the Raptors changed from D'Antoni to Old Nelson this season, the entire Raptors have indeed undergone a qualitative change.
Old Nelson's tactical ability is worthy of his transcendent position in the NBA.
With such strong tactical ability and the strong strength of the Raptors, it is not unreasonable that the Raptors are so optimistic this season.
If Artest hadn't gone to the Lakers, the Raptors would have been the biggest favorite to win the championship.
After playing against the Spurs, the Bobcats will continue to visit the West to face the Grizzlies on February 22.
Although the game between the Bobcats and the Grizzlies is not a highlight, for Chen Xiao, this game is quite important.
Because on Thursday, February 21, this day is the league's trading deadline.
It is also the deadline for Chen Xiao’s system task to be ‘one must be missing’.
And after the time passed on February 21, the system seemed to have completed this task.
Mission: No one can be missing
Task requirements: After the trading deadline of this season, the average satisfaction of all players in the Bobcats with the Bobcats cannot be less than 80 (pleasant). The higher the average satisfaction of these 14 players at the moment after the trading deadline, the higher the reward.
Mission status: All players' satisfaction with the Bobcats is more than 80, with an average satisfaction of 91, among which Danny Granger, Chris Paul, and Zach Randolph's satisfaction with the Bobcats is 100, and the satisfaction of other players is as follows..., Mission completion degree: A+ level.
Task reward: Reward a host A+-level attribute ability card (you can increase a selected normal attribute to 95).
Chen Xiao just took a look at the reward for this task. What surprised Chen Xiao this task was the satisfaction of each player with the Bobcats.
It is not difficult for Chen Xiao to understand that Granger and Xiaopao’s satisfaction are full.
Granger was trained by Chen Xiao and Boss Qiao, and he is considered half a disciple. Granger was not favored during the draft, so it can be said that he was trained by Chen Xiao and Jordan.
Granger himself is also a very grateful person, so his loyalty to Chen Xiao, Jordan, and Bobcats is definitely the full value.
Granger's satisfaction with the bobcat is 100, but the highest satisfaction is only 100.
As for Xiao Pao, when Xiao Pao left, Chen Xiao could be said to have various support for Xiao Pao, and directly filled Xiao Pao's feelings for Chen Xiao and for the bobcat.
What really surprised Chen Xiao was that Zach Randolph's feelings for the bobcats were so deep.
Logically speaking, after leaving the Bobcats, he was unable to enter the All-Star smoothly, so he should be dissatisfied.
In fact, Randolph was indeed very dissatisfied at this time, but this dissatisfaction was not for the bobcats, but for himself.
After he left the bobcat, the better the bobcat performed and the better Chen Xiao performed, the more he blamed himself.
Especially after leaving the Bobcat, Randolph's failure to achieve his goal even more.
He believes that if he could pursue All-Stars one year later, and if he left Bobcats one year later, maybe Chen Xiao and Bobcats still have a chance this year.
But because of himself, the Bobcats' chance to win the championship collapsed, and his All-Star journey was not achieved. It can be said that he did something very stupid with his selfishness.
After all, Chen Xiao and the Bobcat really had nothing to do with him when it came to him.
Even when he was a Bobcat, when he was selfish in brushing data, Chen Xiao and the Bobcat were all kind to him.
Therefore, there is a kind of emotion called distance creates beauty.
When he left the bobcat, Randolph definitely had less than 100 feelings for the bobcat, but now, his feelings for Chen Xiao were gradually reaching 100.
In addition to Chen Xiao, another player who surprised Chen Xiao was Bynum.
This kid has only 80 feelings for the Bobcats.
Among the 85 or above in Yishui, Bynum's 80 seems particularly dazzling.
After all, Chen Xiao felt that he was so kind and righteous.
Jordan didn't want to choose this young player with a problem in the draft because the scout reported that his IQ was problematic. What Jordan disliked the most was these inside players with a problem with IQ.
But Chen Xiao took a fancy to Bynum's talent and must choose him. He felt that he had a system that could save Bynum's IQ and cultivate his potential.
But in the end, Chen Xiao felt that he must have failed, and some players’ problems cannot be saved by the system.
Finally, it is proved that his systematic vision is still far from the real "Eye of God" like Jordan.
As a man who is not as good as the system, Jordan has a really strong vision in the draft.
Judging from Bynum's satisfaction with the bobcats, Bynum basically has no sense of belonging to the bobcats.
