Chapter 401 Before the Storm
"Hey Hey hey!"
"Where are you looking at, kid?"
"The game has obviously started!"
Of course Oden knows about Durant.
Freshman at the University of Texas.
The individual ability is definitely strong enough, but the overall strength of the University of Texas is not good.
For the championship, it doesn't put much pressure on Oden.
Although everyone has not yet announced whether they will participate in this year's NBA draft.
But Auden knew.
This guy is almost the only one who has a chance to threaten his status as the top pick this year.
The NBA regular season is not over yet.
But some things can still be seen.
The Bobcats are hoarding so many draft picks.
Moreover, the teams that the Bobcats disliked really performed poorly.
You can almost say.
If he cannot be selected by the Bobcats this year, his future will be bleak.
It just so happens that there is no game today.
Both Oden and Durant were invited to watch the game at the Charlotte Coliseum.
Many people are talking.
There is a high probability that they will be the No. [-] and No. [-] pick this year.
But what made Auden very curious was.
For Durant, the game has already begun.
His eyes were always fixed on a certain area of the auditorium.
Could it be that he is no longer interested in the game?
……
Durant certainly lost interest in basketball and the game.
There's certainly a reason why he's staring into the audience.
The Bobcats are now a strong team in the league.
It's a bit poor in terms of background.
However, it has only been two years since the team was founded, and it has already won two consecutive championships.
We are working towards three consecutive championships.
Such team's games will certainly attract big stars to watch the games.
on the other hand.
Charlotte's film and television base has been built.
Although many people don’t know whose industry Tycoon Pictures belongs to.
But as we all know in the past, many of Tycoon Pictures' movies and TV series are filmed in Charlotte.
Many stars have moved to Los Angeles.
For Durant.
What other people do is not his concern.
However, some people have always been his concern.
E.g.
A certain blond beauty who is currently promoting a movie.
……
The game between the Bobcats and the Grizzlies actually didn't have much to watch.
After all, the Bobcats can only be regarded as an upstart team now.
The Grizzlies are looking strong this season.
It can be said that it is guaranteed to enter the playoffs.
However, not many people are really optimistic about them winning the championship.
Compared to the game on the court.
People seemed to be paying more attention to James who came to watch the game.
And the stars sitting off the court.
Of course, the arrival of Oden and Durant also attracted a lot of attention.
Zhou Yao doesn't have much playing time.
Definitely the game with the least playing time this season.
Even less than when playing the Jazz before.
The Grizzlies also need to take advantage of their inside advantage.
However, after Zhou Yao came on the field in the third quarter, the Bobcats rained three-pointers.
The grizzly bear is still difficult to resist.
In the end, the Grizzlies still failed to take away the victory from Charlotte.
Zhou Yao also gained his third victory since coaching.
……
3 month 12 day.
vs. Magic at home.
Zhou Yao almost got a triple-double once.
Moreover, Zhou Yao's playing time increased significantly in this game.
He also scored a team-high 44 points.
However, this game can be said to have fully exposed the Bobcats' inside problems.
Howard can be said to be able to get whatever he wants.
28 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists.
Strictly speaking.
These data cannot explain Howard's performance at all.
It's his play in the paint.
Created countless opportunities for teammates.
Rather.
The Bobcats' outside firepower was a bit misfired in this game.
Both teams played hard.
It was finally a tie in regular time.
And it's overtime.
The Bobcats' outside firepower continues to be sluggish.
At the last moment, even Zhou Yao failed to score.
The only consolation is.
Although Zhou Yao's final shot missed.
But it wasn't a three-pointer.
Zhou Yao stepped on the line again.
At the very least, it can be regarded as preserving Zhou Yao's 100% three-point shooting rate when facing people other than Kobe.
"What a pity!"
"If Zhou Yao's position at that time was a few centimeters away."
"That three-pointer can go in."
"The Bobcats overtook us!"
"54 wins and 10 losses."
"Even if the Bobcats win completely, at most they will have the same record as the 96 Bulls."
“It’s really hard to break the record of 72 wins!”
Some netizens expressed emotion.
Someone immediately jumped out to refute.
“It was the right time, the right place and the right people for the 96 Bulls.”
"Besides, at the same time, the Bulls' record was much better."
"This bobcat has obvious flaws."
"I still want to win 72 times. Isn't this just a dream?"
"And this is still the case in the regular season."
"When it comes to the playoffs, of course other teams will make a big fuss about this!"
"If you ask me, it's almost impossible for the Bobcats to defend their title this year!"
"But if they can really get Oden, this problem may not exist next season!"
……
3 month 14 day.
vs. the Kings at home.
Zhou Yao has 3 wins and 1 loss as a coach.
In this game, Zhou Yao's playing time became more.
The Bobcats' shooters are still in a sluggish state.
But at least Zhou Yao can still score a lot.
Still did not let the king take away this victory.
Zhou Yao averaged more than 30.7 points per game.
It has begun to threaten Kobe's first place in the scoring list.
And just when people thought Zhou Yao would make persistent efforts and continue to attack the throne of the scoring champion.
3 month 16 day.
The last of 4 consecutive home games.
It was also the last game of Coach Spoelstra's six-game suspension.
Bobcats vs. Clippers.
The Bobcats' outside shooters are starting to regain their touch.
Zhou Yao didn't have much playing time.
Even if he stays on the court, he is mainly responsible for sorting out the team's offense.
A score of 22 points is really not too much for Zhou Yao.
And everyone knows it.
Zhou Yao, who has a lot of ball rights, can easily score if he wants to.
This is equivalent to him voluntarily giving up the opportunity to win the scoring title.
……
3 month 17 day.
Back-to-back away games against the Bucks.
Coach Spoelstra's suspension is over.
Zhou Yao returned to the position of an ordinary player.
Today's Bucks are a typical weak team.
In most people's minds, the Bobcats should have won easily.
As a result, no one thought of it.
The Bucks actually took advantage of the Bobcats' weaknesses inside.
Just like that, the Bobcat was killed in two minutes.
All down.
The Bucks have a higher shooting percentage.
Also grabbed more rebounds.
And they played very patiently.
The Bobcats led almost the entire game.
The Bucks' players never gave up.
This battle also caused the Bobcats to lose their 11th game of the season.
There is absolutely no hope of chasing the miracle of the Bulls back then.
Three days later, the Bobcats will face the Cavaliers without James.
No one thought that the next few days would seem so long...
