Chapter 383. 384. The Rocket Collapses (Part [-])
But in any case, this is a good thing for the Bobcats, because the victory in this game also helped the Bobcats successfully end the season's five-game losing streak.
Temporarily quelled the anger of online fans. Although the opinions of fans are not very important, their words and deeds can indeed interfere with the mood of players through social media.
Although sometimes the trash talk is ugly, but at least everyone has the same goal.
That is to hope that the team can play a better record, but their methods are more extreme, and they cannot appreciate the efforts of the players.
...............
After defeating the Knicks at home, the Bobcats met the challenges of several Eastern underdogs at home.
In the end, they all won the game without any suspense, and won four consecutive victories after five consecutive losses.
And helped the Bobcats' record to 18 wins and 10 losses, rising to the third place in the Eastern Conference.
The easy victories in these few games not only did not improve Liu Rui's mood, but also made Liu Rui feel a little sad.
This made Liu Rui's assistant coach Mike Malone very puzzled. He secretly tugged at the corner of Liu Rui's clothes and asked Liu Rui:
"The team has been winning all the time, and now they have won four consecutive victories again. Why do you always look sad these two days?!"
It's okay if Mike Malone doesn't talk about it, but Liu Rui feels even more depressed when he talks about it.
Without answering his words, he left the training ground and walked home.
"Hey, I didn't feel anything at first. After winning these weak teams, I really feel that the Bobcats are now a typical bully..."
Liu Rui, who was walking on the road, muttered to himself.

April 12
Bobcats players are training in the arena, and Liu Rui received another news from the league.
In the game between the Rockets and the Lakers, center Yao Ming injured his knee again in a scramble for the ball and had to leave the field for inspection.
Judging from Yao Ming's painful expression at the time, this injury may have allowed the Asian giant to rest for a while.
So far this season, Yao Ming has been injured twice, which makes all Chinese fans feel a little worried.
It also hit the entire Rockets hard. The Rockets are far away from the top eight positions in the Western Conference. Yao Mai's frequent injuries have made this team useless this season.
Although news came from the Rockets' team doctor, McGrady may face a comeback in the near future.
However, referring to Yao Ming's situation, who can guarantee that McGrady, who has been resting due to injury before, will not be injured again even after his comeback? !
So this also made McGrady's fans feel very worried.
And it also made more and more fans start to scold the Rockets together on the Internet, thinking that this is an unlucky team.
Why do stars frequently face injuries as soon as they come to you? !
It must be your head coach's use of the field!
A series of remarks on the Internet also pushed the Rockets coach Van Gundy to the bright position.
As the saying goes, everyone pushes against the wall. Under this kind of public opinion, Van Gundy is the main reason why the star is injured. Without any confirmation, it seems to have been accepted by all fans and spread to each other...
Liu Rui frowned when he saw the news. Sure enough, Yao Ming was injured again.
As early as when Yao Ming came back, Liu Rui knew that Yao Ming might face another injury this season
Because the entire Rockets team has Yao and Mai as the absolute core of the offense, when one of the core offensive players hangs up the waiver card and the other star comes back, it doesn't take much to know that a lot of possessions will definitely pass through Yao Ming's hands.
Coupled with the physical load generated by playing for a long time, Yao Ming's fragile knees once again faced a blow.
After hearing the news, Liu Rui also heaved a long sigh, then picked up his mobile phone and called Yao Ming.
On the phone, Liu Rui repeatedly asked Yao Ming not to listen to the team doctor's request to come back in a hurry.
Even if the Rockets can't make the playoffs this season, don't play like a hero with injuries.
Because this kind of personal heroism will ruin Yao Ming's career.
No matter how the Houston fans praised it at the time, in Liu Rui's opinion, it was a very stupid behavior.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Rui also smiled wryly at the phone.
Although I have repeatedly told Yao Ming many times just now, I don't know if this shy big boy can listen to what I said.
But in any case, there is really only so much I can do at present.
We can only see if we can recruit Yao Ming in the future and let him help Yao Ming recuperate his body through load management.

April 12
Bobcats generals have flown to Miami, will be away to challenge the Miami Heat.
This is also the first time the Bobcats have played against the Heat this season. The Heat have strengthened during the offseason and are considered one of the biggest favorites to win this season.
But after the regular season, the state of the entire Heat team is a bit slow. Although it is currently ranked second in the Eastern Conference list, it is not too far away from the teams behind it.
For fans who had expectations for the Heat before the start of the season, it is inevitable that there will be a slight disappointment.
The Heat this season can be described as the winners of the league. During the offseason, they introduced a number of big fish, plus the original Wade and O'Neal.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire league is frightened.
As of now, there are a bunch of big and small stars in the Heat's lineup that Liu Rui can name.
O'Neal, Wade, White Chocolate, Fat Toutuo, Mourning, Payton, Posey, Haslem, etc...
And in addition to the above-mentioned people, the Heat currently have an old acquaintance of the Bobcats, that is Kapono, the league's three-point leader last season.
Kapono signed a two-year, $1100 million deal with the Heat as a free agent in the offseason.
This contract may not be big for the stars, but it is not small for Kapono, who has a clear sense of offense and defense.
Otherwise, according to the normal trajectory, he can sign a two-year $800 million contract at most.
However, because Liu Rui's men also further developed Kapono's three-point shooting ability, Kapono at the same time was even stronger than in his previous life.
Although he is still unsupportable on the defensive end, he can contribute a lot on the offensive end.
Last season in particular, Kapono led the league in 52.1-point shooting at [-] percent.
Although Kapono left the Bobcats, his shooting space has dropped significantly, and his scoring average is also facing a big shrinkage.
But under this data, the team in order to compete for the championship will still offer a large contract to sign the marksman.
After all, for a team that wants to compete for the championship, if the team does not have a marksman from beyond the three-point line, it will be a very bad thing.
However, in the eyes of others, Kapono's threat from beyond the three-point line may become very troublesome, but in Liu Rui's eyes, there is not much worry.
Although it is produced by Bobcat, it must be a high-quality product.
But Liu Rui, as the creator of the Bobcats, can destroy a player while building a player.
Regarding the offensive habits of these players on the field, no one in the entire league knows better than Liu Rui, the key distributor...
