Larry Brown's revamp of the Bobcats has been quite effective, as the team's perennial lottery team climbed to fifth in the league in defensive efficiency last season, and saw the first time in the playoffs before the final eight games of the regular season with a 1-7 record, but the lack of offensive ability still made them fall short.

However, hard work always pays off, and Larry Brown's character may always have such and such accusations, but his ability is not said, and his connections are not said, this season's Bobcats have improved by leaps and bounds, and now they are firmly in the sixth place in the East.

In fact, last year, the Bobcats had a chance to make the playoffs, but the old coach Brown made a total of 24 players last year, which caused some confusion within the team.

But Nelson Sr. praised Brown's actions, and on the plane he said: "Larry has a set, he did the right thing, and if he played in the same way last season, he could have made the playoffs." However, then the Bobcats would have no future, and he kept selecting personnel, and now he finally found someone who was suitable for that team, sharpening knives and cutting wood, which is the means of connoisseurs! ”

As the owner of the Bobcats, Michael Jordan doesn't know if he is well versed in the Chinese art of war, and he plays golf every day in the name of the president and doesn't care about the team's facts, and the team's personnel affairs are lost to Brown Sr.

As a result, the Bobcats players are all Brown's style, but the style of play is rigid and harsh, and the offensive efficiency is poor.

Old Brown hates running and shooting, likes half-court offense and defense, he and old Nelson have not dealt with each other, and generally evaluates NBA head coaches, he and old Nelson are evaluated on opposite sides, the two are simply two extremes:

Nelson Sr. is known for being good at using rookies, Moreau can make it to the All-Star rookie game in his hands as a lost rookie, and Brown hates the use of rookies the most and is known as a new star executioner, typified by the 3 golden generation star Milicic;

In terms of tactics, the old Nelson has all kinds of innovations, what is running and hitting the small ball to cut the shark, and the old Brown firmly requires the players to carry out step-by-step half-court offense and defense;

In terms of personality, old Nelson laughed and scolded like an old naughty boy, never to hide anything, the player table was good, he smiled and could grin to the back of his neck, and the player table was not good, and he scolded directly. Brown, on the other hand, is always a dead face no matter what the circumstances;

It's not the same in terms of developing players, Nelson Sr. is trying to play the character characteristics of the players, such as Ellis in the past and now West, and then build a team around the players. What about Brown? He set up his tactics first, and then select or shape the players, which he had with Iverson because of this in the first place, and Gerald Wallace, who can fly and jump to win the dunk title, is now being molded by him as a dull defensive machine.

Iverson has played under two coaches, and two career successes have been under these two old guys - Eastern Conference Championship and MVP, Championship and FMVP, so he is more familiar with the two.

Chamberlain asked him, "What kind of person is Larry Brown?" ”

Iverson thought for a while and said, "He is a good person, very responsible, and absolutely reliable, which Old Tang is not comparable to him." Still, I like to play under Don, you know he's a good guy, but you can't stand him. ”

Old Nelson was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, and after listening to Iverson's evaluation, he immediately smiled, stood up and said: "Allen, even if you kid has vision, let me tell you, old Brown is actually a bitch with an archway, he said that he likes rigorous games, but the Bobcat error rate is still in the top five in the league, what about us?" It's only sixth in the league! ”

The problem with the Warriors is the turnover rate, ESPN once made statistics, almost all the championships in NBA history have the top three turnover rates in the league, and it is a spectacle that a team with a high turnover rate like the Warriors can win the championship.

Every time he talked about it, Billups was embarrassed, but the old Nelson was triumphant.

The plane landed slowly at Charlotte International Airport, and the Warriors players did not practice together, but went directly to the hotel to lie on the bed and fall asleep.

The elder Nelson also bought them a half-hour break to be interviewed in the locker room before heading straight in, so that the time that would have been spent on tactics and analysing opponents could be used for a bit of sleep.

The three-back schedule is known as the NBA's No. 1 perversion, and players are injured or sick almost every time after this schedule.

Standing on the bus, Nelson Sr. called the players around and said: "Don't worry, our opponent is actually a rabble, they don't have a good point guard, and they don't have a scorer who can create their own chances, Boris Dior was originally a good axis, but this lazy guy signed a big contract and his aggressiveness dropped sharply, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be." ”

"Overall, the Bobcats have a few bright spots, and the only thing that can put on the table is a fairly resilient team defense. Duke swingman Gerald Henderson has some scoring ability, but it's too unrealistic to expect a rookie to make a difference; The addition of Ronald Murray could improve the team's bench firepower and creativity, but it will be difficult for the Bobcats to achieve the playoff goals with their current roster. ”

That being said, Nelson Sr. asked the players to take the opponent seriously, as the Bobcats happen to have two excellent defensive interior players, Okafor and Tyson Chandler, and the combination of these two is almost the best in the league in defense, and Chamberlain will also suffer when he encounters two.

"Although I don't take old Brown seriously, but this guy does have a way of building a team, he built the Pistons into an iron army, and now he also has a good match for the Bobcats, so you have to be careful with their defense, don't fight with them to defend, go up and bombard me indiscriminately, play to your strengths, don't let them find their rhythm!"

Nelson Sr. finally added.

Chamberlain is still afraid of Dior, the French is not the kind of person who can change the fate of the team by himself, but he does have the qualifications to be a tactical axis, if the old Brown can further play the tactical role of Dior, and the French themselves can be strict with themselves and treat the competitive state, then the Bobcats can become a strong team.

Now the core of the Bobcats is Gerard Wallace, who has improved dramatically this season, averaging 18 per game. 5 points, 10 rebounds, and 1. 5 blocks and 2 steals, the nickname of the all-round warrior is not blown out.

Charlotte fans are notoriously cold in the league, otherwise the Hornets would not have fled from the city, in fact, Charlotte's basketball atmosphere is very good, after all, it is a North Carolina team, but fans prefer the NCAA, which is known as a purely competitive event, rather than the NBA, which is more performative.

Every time NC State or other NCAA games are held here, the city is empty, and the NBA games are crowded, especially since the Bobcats haven't even made the playoffs.

Because of the Warriors, the tickets sold well, which led to the Warriors players receiving louder cheers when they came out than the Bobcats players, who were extremely bitter: Who is the home court?

Considering that the fans were originally running to the Warriors to buy tickets, this result was not unexpected.

The Bobcats' starting lineup is: center Tyson Chandler, power forward Boris Dior, small forward Gerald Wallace, scoring guard Henderson, playmaking guard Felton.

The starting lineup of the Warriors is: Chamberlain + Ibaka + Jackson + Curry + Billups.

Chandler entered the NBA with Yao Ming in a year, and even the latter was able to enter the NBA, thanks to him: Yao Ming has always had no confidence to play in the NBA, but in the 2001 training camp, he beat Chandler, who was famous in the American basketball world, and then he realized that he was already so strong......

Chandler has been plagued by injuries over the past two seasons, but in fact he is a defensive stalwart who has teamed up with Paul to take the Hornets to unprecedented heights.

is also a jumping man, Chandler finally gave Chamberlain some trouble when jumping the ball, although it was still the latter who slapped the ball, but Chandler's fingers picked the lower end of the ball, the ball flew up and changed its trajectory, and finally fell into the hands of Felton.

When Filton was in college, he was a well-deserved son of heaven, and at that time there was a saying in the NCAA called 'everyone loves Filton', and Jordan the Great obviously loved him too, bringing him to Charlotte, and then for a few seasons, once again proving that the Jordan draft was a pit.

Billups' height gives Filton an advantage, and the latter is shrewd and wants to use his pace to get rid of his opponents, but this is self-defeating.

As a famous old demon, Billups is too experienced in dealing with this kind of opponent who wants to eat himself with speed, and he reached out to pull the opponent with small movements by the way, and Filton was helpless and could only reduce his speed.

Seeing this, Billups laughed and said, "Rookie, you want to break through me? God, this kid must not have figured it out, don't you know who I am? You want to speed me out? Aaron Iverson doesn't even dare now! ”

The offensive line was blocked, and Filton hated it in his heart, but fortunately he was calm at this time, and did not make a risky strong attack, but stopped and waited for his teammates to settle down.

The body can stop, but the mouth can't, Filton responded: "Old guy, you should go to a nursing home to play bowling instead of playing violent basketball in the NBA at your age, this is not an old man's nursing home, I don't dare to speed up, because I'm afraid that my little sports car will hit you." ”

Dior went down quickly and played in the middle, Wallace followed from the other side, Chandler and Henderson were not slow and quickly settled into the position. From this point, you can see that old Brown is very powerful, and a group of rough men have been trained by him to be as obedient as Chihuahuas, which is very remarkable.

The ball shifted several times, Dio played Ibaka with his back, this guy was originally slim, he had a good vision, and he was a well-known passer among the big guys. But now after signing a big contract, he began to eat nonsense, and suddenly he became a big fat man, and he had no flexibility, only large tonnage remained.

The Warriors' defense was aggressive, pressing the Bobcats as Nelson Sr. directed, and Dio passed the ball to Henderson, who missed a three-point shot.

Chamberlain picked up the rebound, Billups slowly advanced, Ibaka covered a little on the height, Billups broke through, but after taking two steps and then retreating from the three-point line, he opened the distance from the opponent, he saw Chamberlain reflexively shake off Chandler's defense, and he had an idea.

After a quick slap of the ball and then put it away, Billups threw it to the hoop, raised his long arms in the air, grabbed the ball and smashed it into the hoop.

"The ball is just right, Chaunse, you've done a great job!" Chamberlain praised Billups when he landed.

Curry pretended to be envious and said, "I said man, were you a magician possessed just now?" So good passing, or are you giving lessons to the little guy across from you? ”

Felton knew that the opponent was stimulating him with trash talk, and he was angry, but the old Brown was already angry off the field, and he didn't have time to talk back, so he counterattacked with the ball.
