NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 115 Wang Zhizhi's Chance
Of course, Liu Rui didn't know about Wallace's embarrassing things in training, but he also smiled when he heard Wallace's question.

I am afraid that apart from myself, even Skiles, the head coach of the Bulls, only knows that Duhon's defensive ability is relatively good.

But it will never be clear how outstanding Du Hong's defensive ability in the first position will be in the future in this era.

After all, with the twilight of Payton, even if he joined the Celtics this season, he has reached the end of his career and is not far from retirement.

In the No. [-] position, there are only a few people left who can really be called excellent defensively. Among them, Kidd's defensive is the best.

In terms of personal ability alone, Du Hong certainly cannot be compared with Kidd and others, and there is even no comparison at all.

But if you only talk about the defensive ability at the position of point guard, then Du Hong can definitely wrestle with these historical players.

The main reason why he has not been outstanding throughout his career is that he struggled too much in offense.

Unlike other point guards, Duhon can create more opportunities for his teammates by breaking through the ball.

Du Hong's talent is mediocre, and there is nothing extraordinary about him, let alone his speed.

Therefore, like Nash, the son of the wind, he can't tear open the opponent's defense line well during the running and bombing of the position, thus forming an assist opportunity.

Although Duhon can transfer the ball to open teammates very well, on the offensive end, Duhon can only rely on some slightly disturbed shots to score.

The means of attack are simply too simple.

Even so, the reason why he has been able to stay in the league for so long is entirely because of his defense and his stability.

"Haha, don't underestimate him, don't worry, you will know his ability later."

"And you'll be very thankful that I traded him to the Bobcats."

"Because of his arrival, he can share a lot of your defensive pressure. Otherwise, if you were allowed to cooperate with House and Kapono for a season, wouldn't you collapse, haha."

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, for this period, Liu Rui also feels that he has been favored by heaven.

Everything is done smoothly, and the whole person is in a very good mood.

"Well, I have some expectations now, haha."

"How is your body, coach, how do you feel now?"

After sharing his joy of reducing the number of suspended games to Liu Rui, Wallace of course also asked about the coach's condition.

"I don't have any serious problems. I believe it won't be long before I can be discharged from the hospital. When you go back, tell them that you must strive for good training during this period of time."

"After you lift the suspension, I should also be discharged from the hospital to coach."

"So if you don't have anything to do, hurry up and train quickly. You should know what the team's current record is like."

"I think everyone should not want to wait until the end of the season to achieve a shameful record."

"So hurry up and practice quickly, and call me again if you have any questions."

After explaining his situation to Wallace, Liu Rui repeatedly told Wallace to hurry up and train.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Rui put the phone aside, picked up the snacks on the bed, and started to eat, but as he ate, he always felt that some flavor was missing.

Usually at this time, there should be him and Chen Xiaoxiao in the ward, watching TV, bickering and eating snacks together.

At that time, I didn't feel anything, but now that Chen Xiaoxiao left, Liu Rui was the only one left in this huge ward.

Even though Liu Rui was still eating the snacks he often ate, he always felt empty and still had some discomfort.

.........

And on the night of November 11th.

The NBA official website was once again dominated by the Chinese, but the difference is that this time it was not Liu Rui who dominated the screen.

Although Liu Rui's enthusiasm has not passed, but this time it is neither Liu Rui nor Yao Ming, but another Chinese player Wang Zhizhi.

The Heat really didn't get off to a good start this season. In the first home game of the season, because of the irrationality of the players, the team faced a massive suspension and lost a draft pick.

This made the Heat, who had just traded for O'Neal, not get used to it, and O'Neal directly took a rest off the court.

And with O'Neill, Haslem, and Malik Allen suspended one after another.

It also brought the Heat's inside rotation to a tense stage.

In the NBA preseason, in order to protect the main players from injury, the teams in the league rarely let the main players play for too long.

Therefore, Chinese player Wang Zhizhi also got a period of playing time.

But during this period of playing time, Wang Zhizhi's performance was not outstanding.

Considering that this season due to the Heat's trade to O'Neal, the depth of the lineup is very insufficient.

There is basically no one available inside. In the regular season, I am afraid that Wang Zhizhi will also have some playing time.

Although it won't be too much, at least there is a chance to prove yourself.

With the absence of a wide range of inside players in the team, Wang Zhizhi also got a lot of opportunities in recent games, but his general performance was far from meeting expectations.

Head coach Van Gundy also has no choice, because the team currently has no inside players available.

And Van Gundy is a typical traditional coach, Van Gundy is a coach who likes to use the inside most.

Whether it is O'Neal, or Howard, Monroe and Drummond of later generations.

He performed well under his hands.

O'Neal was under him, even though he was getting older, he still teamed up with Wade to win the NBA championship.

During the coaching of the Magic, he built a star around Howard and led the team to the finals.

After Monroe left Van Gundy, his state declined rapidly, and within a few years he basically had no ball to play.

Drummond went from a blue-collar bench player to an All-Star center by Van Gundy.

As for the current insiders of the Heat, only Doriak, Laettner, and Wang Zhizhi are left.

Among them, Wang Zhizhi's height of seven feet one is the most outstanding.

In these few games, the three of them basically evenly split the playing time of each game. Whoever plays well should play a little longer.

And Wang Zhizhi's performance has been mediocre.

Now the Heat have four wins and three losses in the seven games since the start of the game.

In these seven games, Wang Zhizhi averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds per game.

It can only be regarded as remarkable.

But in the Heat's home game against the Knicks tonight.

Wang Zhizhi started the game, facing the Knicks' [-]-meter-tall center Sandov, he played very smartly.

Outside three-pointers, fantasy footsteps, and mid-range jumpers after pick-and-rolls.

As if overnight, the general offensive arsenal opened wide.

He played 32 minutes in the game, roughly 12 of 8 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 1 free throws, and contributed 19 points with a super high shooting percentage.

In addition, he also scored 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and played very efficiently throughout the game.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Zhizhi played the entire inside of the Knicks by himself, making shots from inside and outside, making Chinese fans seem to see the omnipotence of the Bayi team back then.

After this battle, Wang Zhizhi's records in the NBA were also refreshed.

Points, rebounds, assists, including playing time, are all career highs.

And the explosion of Big Zhi seems to have once again ignited the expectations of Chinese fans for him...
