Chapter 291 A Teammate Who Doesn’t Want to Play Singles Isn’t a Good Teammate

Before you know it, the first month of 2008 is over. For all teams in the league, they can breathe a sigh of relief. January is a devil's schedule for all teams, and the Lynx's game in January Extremely close, they played a full [-] games in January, and they played a game almost every other day. Such a dense schedule caused some troubles for the Bobcats, although all teams in the league True, but for the three rookie starters on the team, this rhythm really makes them feel desperate.

Even when Gao Tian first arrived, Gao Tian was not used to this kind of game rhythm, let alone the three of them, so the Bobcats' overall performance in the January game did not meet their expectations. It's much better but still less than 76%. The only surprise is that after losing nine games, they still surpassed the [-]ers and ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference!

Although the Bobcats lead is very weak, and the gap with the Eagle Pacers behind is within three or four games, but there is no doubt that their performance is still beyond everyone's expectations. Such an extremely young team, except for Gao Tian. Almost no teams with capable players can break into the playoffs in the East. Through various analysis, many people have come to a conclusion that seems very correct. The East is really in decline!

Although the outside world still has a lot of doubts about the Bobcats, the Bobcats who have made it to the playoffs have also changed the eyes of many people, especially for Gao Tian, ​​​​who has been in poor form in the early stage. When the collective was in a downturn, Gao Tian finally stood up. With an average of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists per game, he carried the banner of the team alone, so Gao Tian undoubtedly surpassed James, who averaged 32+8+7 per game, and won The Eastern Conference Player of the Month award for January.

After entering February, the league's schedule suddenly became much looser. After counting down, the Bobcats only needed to play eleven games. Compared with the number of crazy games last month, February was undoubtedly an extremely easy month, and the most important thing was What's more, in these [-] games, the Bobcats only need to face three powerful opponents, the Suns, Lakers, and Spurs.

The rest of the team is not much of a threat to the Bobcats. This allows the overwhelmed Bobcats players to finally breathe a sigh of relief. The January game is simply a torment for the Suns starters. I don't even know how they got through that month. This kind of pressure not only comes from their tired bodies, but also from various doubts from the outside world.

Although Gao Tian and Stotts didn't blame them for their performance, they couldn't stand the game they played. It was too eye-catching. Looking back, they didn't know what they did. It's really embarrassing to be in a daze.

The original Bobcats were about to go on the right track, but when they were about to start, they let go of their kick and caused the engine to stall, and the team had to prepare again. Although the final record was not bad, it really became A thorn in their hearts.

They are equivalent to sleepwalking on the court, and the two strong veterans cannot suddenly take on the excessive possession of the ball. The team can only play Li Gaotian, Ki Davis and Kapono. In this situation It's not surprising that Xia Gaotian blasted a 40+ triple-double in a single month, which is rare in history, because he will really be kicked out of the playoffs if he doesn't play the Bobcats.

Seeing Gao Tian fighting alone on the field, Yi Jianlian and others were very embarrassed, because it was their abnormality that caused Gao Tian to seriously use his strength to play the game, especially Zhan En, if They all understand that the rookie Yi Jianlian and the three of them will have this situation, but it is beyond everyone's expectation that Zhan En, who has already had a year of competition experience, will still have this extremely abnormal state of confusion. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be!

Gao Tian is even more speechless. Zhan En's performance is not as impressive as his rookie season. Although his statistics are much better than those of his rookie season, whether it is the win-loss value or efficiency value, Jann's contribution to the team is far lower than last season.

It is true that some teams suddenly have only him alone and he is no longer the one who controls the most ball in the team, but this also shows that Zhan En's adaptability is not good, and perhaps in the eyes of others, this is not It's a big problem, but in Gao Tian's view, Zhan En is an extremely failure now.

You must know that Zhan En, who has accepted most of the abilities and skills of the Smiling Assassin, is already on the same level as Paul, who has just stepped into the league's first-tier players, but no matter what aspect he is compared with Paul, Zhan En is blown out without dignity. .

It can only be said that he has this strength, but he is not yet mentally prepared to become a strong man!

If it was another time, Gao Tian might let Zhan En experience it for a period of time. There is a mental process, but at this time, the team is preparing to wind up and sprint to the playoffs, and losing the chain at this time will undoubtedly drag the team down. , Zhan En is an important part of the Bobcats. This is not only his ability to organize and connect, Sun Yue can also do it if he just organizes the team's offense, and because of the vision brought by his height, Sun Yue can do better than Zhan En better and faster.

But Zhan En's singles ability at the point guard position is an indispensable part of the Bobcats. His swift and agile breakthrough can instantly change the defensive formation and create opportunities for the Bobcats' offense. He also has Gao Tian for the defensive team's inside line The impact will make it easier for Bobcats players to get shots.

It is obviously impossible to expect Gao Tian to do this by himself. Gao Tian can always hit the inside line, but the consequence of this is that his physical strength will have extremely serious problems in the fourth quarter. At that time, he could not guarantee his hit rate at all. , so the bobcats with Jann and without Jann are very different.

In fact, it is not difficult for a single-minded player like Zhan En to solve such a problem. Gao Tian knows that this guy is just too lazy, especially when he is on the same team as Gao Tian, ​​he is used to being a supporting role Yes, sometimes it is a good thing for a point guard to be a supporting role for a team, but Jann is obviously not the kind of player who watches his teammates play when he dribbles and passes the ball.

He needs to attack!

After discussing with Stotts and listening to his opinion, Gao Tian felt that he needed to talk to Jann again.

This is not to say that he has any opinion on Zhan En's behavior, but that he has noticed that he has always ignored Zhan En's personal feelings, and brought so many people to this place that originally belonged to Zhan En, snatching Lost most of his possessions, turning him from a team's core point guard into a role player.

Although Zhan En has never said anything, Gao Tian and Stotts can feel some of Zhan En's resentment, which is why Zhan En has reached this point, and obviously has the strength to change anything, but he is just confused Over time, seeing Gao Tian fighting alone, he was used to Gao Tian taking everything in his hands.

A player who is too strong will also have a bad influence on the team. Everyone will subconsciously rely on him. This is why Gao Tian lowered his possession of the ball at the beginning so that they could play singles as much as possible. Now it seems that Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue will not give up their style of play just because Gao Tian is present, but Zhan En, who has been teammates with Gao Tian for a long time, is used to it or does not want to change this way. Day as a teammate's way.
