legendary basketball guard

Chapter 66 A New Beginning After the Transaction.

The All-Star Game has just ended, and before the trade deadline, the Bobcats finally took action.In exchange for Ronald Murray and Asilau, who were in conflict with Lin Xiao, and a protected first-round pick, the Bulls' power forward Tyrus Thomas, a power forward in a contract year, was subsequently And sent guard Graham from the Spurs in exchange for veteran Theo Ratliff and the Spurs' 2010 second-round pick.

No wonder Mr. Jordan told Lin Xiao that they would make some moves.After trading away these two guards, it can be said that Lin Xiao basically sits firmly in the sixth man position of the team. I may have a chance to start in the future. It is considered that the team intends to train Lin Xiao. By the way, Tyrus Thomas is under contract. In [-], the former No. [-] pick, he is very talented, and he will be more active in playing in the contract year, in order to get a better contract.At the same time, the former shot-blocking champion and veteran Theo Ratliff, who was recruited from the Spurs, came to train the team's newcomers and increase the ability to protect the inside.

It can be considered a coincidence, the first game after the All-Star game turned out to be an away game against the Nets.

After a day of adaptive training in the stadium, the team flew to New Jersey to challenge the Nets. This season, the New Jersey Nets are a veritable underdog. Basically, they have not won a few games. The team is in chaos. With a record of 4 wins and 20 losses, he faced the Charlotte Bobcats who came to challenge.

Tyson Chandler returned to the locker room for inspection due to thigh cramps within one minute of playing, and the injury troubles that the Bobcats were worried about seemed to have really come. Tyson Chandler has missed several games this season. If it goes on, it will be difficult to help the team a lot.

Muhammad topped the center position.Stephen Jackson, who came back from injury, did not feel good in the first quarter. He made 5 of 2 shots, [-] of [-] free throws, scored three points and one steal; Chairman Kenyon Dooling.Lin Xiao was not polite at all, he asked for the ball to play back and singles, and he turned around and made a jump shot.

The Nets in the counterattack are still very stable. When the team's defense was not stable, Augustine defended the high position from the outside. Tyrus Thomas went to defend Yi Jianlian. He didn't pay attention to the middle and went in with a change of direction. Courtney Li easily scored two points.Afterwards, Lin Xiao didn't have a suitable opportunity to make a call. After picking up a rebound, he ran back and forth twice, but no data came into the account.

The game continued in the second quarter. Stephen Jackson had no touch. In the first half of the game, he made 12 of 2 shots. The touch was not good. With Gerald Wallace scoring eight points in a single quarter, the Bobcats had no score. It was too far away, halftime, and the head coach was still planning to let Stephen Jackson play. Lin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't bring it up.

After the main lineup came on stage, Larry Brown said to Lin Xiao: "Although the team trains you as the core of the future, you must know that you are still just a rookie."

Lin Xiao kept thinking about Larry Brown's words, knowing that when he appeared again in the fourth quarter, the Bobcats were already 13 points behind, 13 points behind the bottom team in the league.However, when Lin Xiao came on stage, he was still the top two.

What should rookies do, is to show their potential?Lin Xiao has no need for that at all, and there is no need to have conflicts with the players for the right to scramble for the ball. What he has to do is to help the team win.

In the face of Courtney Lee, a Chinese with a quarter of his blood, he played back singles and completely locked up.

Lin Xiao's position has been greatly improved under the guidance of Lagabel and Gerald Wallace, but it is far from enough. Talent needs playing time to fulfill.Lin Xiao played very aggressively at the beginning, turning from the strong side to the weak side. After passing the ball twice, Lin Xiao was ready to singles Courtney Lee. This point of Lin Xiao can also be considered as the youngest point, which means that he has a great grasp of the point .But seeing Diop going down, Lin Xiao decided to pass the ball.Diop missed a layup, Lin Xiao was suddenly annoyed and felt that his hit rate was higher just now, this thought flashed through Lin Xiao's mind, Lin Xiao didn't continue to think about it, such a thought It's not right.Moreover, Larry Brown himself is a coach who focuses on team basketball. If there are too many singles, it will also arouse Larry Brown's disgust.

Lin Xiao quickly moved back to the defense. The fast-break New Jersey Nets are still very fast. Yi Jianlian is very mobile on the court. Unfortunately, he lacks a point guard like Nash. Lin Xiao knows Yi Jianlian's characteristics, but now It is still impossible for Yi Jianlian's body to stand firm in the NBA.Lin Xiao is also not qualified to manage others. His current position in the team is also very awkward. He doesn't have much playing time, and he has to help Stephen Jackson carry bags when he has nothing to do. Although Stephen Jackson's temper is much better, Lin Xiao is He didn't deal with him, and even felt uncomfortable with each other. Jordan originally wanted Stephen Jackson, who had changed a lot, to give advice to Lin Xiao, but he didn't expect that both of them had the same temper. Suave.It can also be regarded as the characteristic of Chinese people, easy-going.

"Move! move" Lin Xiao also made a guest appearance as a point guard. Mohammed quickly interspersed from the bottom corner. A single pick-and-roll by Tyrus Thomas went directly to the inside. Lin Xiao took advantage of the situation and threw the ball upwards. Fly into the air and pour the ball in.

For teammates in the contract year, Lin Xiao would naturally choose to feed him the ball, and then Augustin was replaced by Derek Brown. The reason is simple, Augustin's defense is a little bit bad. , and Lin Xiao's frequent guest appearances at the No. 500 position also made Raymond Felton a little nervous. He signed a one-year contract with the Bobcats for $[-] million. If he plays well this year, he can get a big contract.On the contrary, everyone understands that Augustine is not, he signed a long-term contract with the team.

Lin Xiao once again lobbed the ball to Tyrus Thomas who asked for the ball, and this 2.06 short man actually succeeded in singles against Yi Jianlian. Generally speaking, as an insider, Yi Jianlian's confrontation ability is really poor.Lin Xiao's strength can be compared with the general striker, so LeBron James can be compared with the inside line.

After Lin Xiao played for 5 minutes, he was replaced.Stephen Jackson reappeared, Lin Xiao scored 2 points and 4 assists, and the audience scored 4 points and 5 assists. The results were very efficient. He failed to score a half-stop in the opening game, and was fouled when he returned to defense, which put the team in trouble again. Gerald Wallace stood up again, facing the weak inside line of the Nets, consecutively With the help of the pick-and-roll to enter the inside, causing damage, and scored four points in a row, Stephen Jackson also changed his offensive method, no longer fighting with anger, and broke through to the inside.

In the end, the whole game narrowly beat the New Jersey Nets 101:99, which also avoided the embarrassment of the team losing.The team will soon fly back to Charlotte, where they will play against the Cavaliers at home the day after tomorrow.In the first three games, basically every game ended with the Bobcats losing, and the game that was closest to victory was also defeated by a big hat from James.

The preparations before the game were very good. The team trained half-court offense, 32 zone defense, double attack, and various coordination of 4v3 against the Cavaliers in one day.

"Tell me, do you still want to lose? On our territory!" Larry Brown yelled, appearing from time to time, his voice slightly hoarse.

"We're going to kick their asses hard." Tyrus Thomas played well last game, and the Bulls have given the Cavaliers two losses.

They still have a record of winning against the Cavaliers this season.Although the third fiasco was not unrelated to the absence of the team's head star Derrick Rose, and Tyrus Thomas averaged 9.4+6.7 rebounds per game in the series. Said to be very efficient.He also has a great fighting spirit when dealing with the same type of JJ Hickson.
