Chapter 460 The Legend's Departure(1/2)

After the new season of 2006-2007 began, the entire NBA seemed to be flooded with the Bobcats.

If it is conceivable to be strong this season, the Nets, Magic, Raptors, and Heat, then the Bobcats' strength is really not expected by many people.

A team that has only been in three seasons in history, a team that played in the playoffs for the first time last season, became a contender for the league's championship in its third year. This is really unexpected and surprising.

The Bobcats beat the Pacers at home to achieve five straight wins.

Immediately afterwards, he defeated the Cavaliers, Mavericks and Supersonics at home, increasing his winning streak this season to 8 games.

After eight games, the Bobcats became the only team in the NBA to maintain a complete victory.

The Nets led by Pat Riley are now 7 wins and 1 loss.

The Magic team that Chen Xiao cares the most is the Magic team, Chen Xiao believes that the strongest team has a current record of 6 wins and 2 losses.

What surprised Chen Xiao the most and also the media experts the most was the Raptors. The Raptors have only 4 wins and 4 losses to this season.

After having O'Neal Jr., the Raptors' record has not risen but dropped.

However, if you think about it a little more, it is actually normal.

O'Neal, who did not go on the battlefield with injuries and injuries, is indeed very strong, but because of his strong strength, O'Neal Jr. did not simply join the team, but needed the Raptors to make some compromises and sacrifices for O'Neal Jr.

Nash has been playing in the Raptors for so many years with Milicic, Josh Smith, Lagabe, and others. They have a mature system, and everyone has their own division of labor and roles. A very all-round player like O'Neal, who comes to the team, will make other players in the team feel uncomfortable.

For example, Milicic.

In the past, Milicic was Nash's number one pick-and-roll hand, but after O'Neal Jr. came, the first pick-and-roll hand became O'Neal Jr. This led to Milicic missing a large number of pick-and-roll faces and frames out of the mobile phone.

Without so many opportunities for attacking face frames, Milicic did not learn to play back singles. Even if he learned to play back singles, the Raptors would not play. D'Antoni's running and shooting, just eat cakes in the inside line, and there is no need for slow-paced play back singles.

So, you guys, what should Milicic do?

It can be said that during the offensive period, Milicic suffered quite a lot on the offensive end this season.

Seeing Milicic suffer so much, O'Neal Jr. was also dissatisfied with it, so he also took the beating, apologizing that Milicic also played the pick-and-roll with Nashdo.

If you ask me, I ask you, you will make a lot of mistakes and problems.

This is just a problem with O'Neal and Milicic.

O'Neal Jr. and Josh Smith also had many problems.

Josh Smith played power forward in the Raptors last season. After O'Neal Jr. this season, Josh Smith was going to play small forward, which is a big problem.

In the position of power forward, Josh Smith has the speed and athletic ability, can run, jump and impact. Although the shooting is a little worse, it doesn't matter, after all, it's the inside.

But now you are on the outside and you can't shoot, so this problem is a big deal.

Originally, the Raptors were a running and bombing team. Everyone on the outside needed to have excellent shooting ability. If you can't shoot, others will let you go, and then the pressure on your teammates will increase.

In the end, not only did they drag down Nash and Lagabel, but O'Neal and Milicic were also implicated.

So, after O'Neal Jr. came to the team, the whole world thought that the Raptors were a shotgun replacement.

But in the end, the bird gun changed to a slingshot. The Raptors' offense not only did not have the same level, but the Raptors' offense collapsed.

Many experts even said that D'Antoni's running and bomb system was not lucky enough to get such a strong lineup, and it would be better to replace Milicic with a small forward player who can shoot three points, or replace Josh Smith with a small forward player who can shoot three points.

To be honest, although these experts are very tragic, if they really do what they say, the Raptors' record will recover soon.

Then the Raptors will return to their familiar rhythm.

but!

The Raptors are not fools!

Milicic and Josh Smith were replaced, what did they win the championship?

Although the Raptors had a poor start and had poor offense.

But this season's Raptors' defense is really good!

Milicic sits at the basket, O'Neal Jr. and Josh Smith swept the wings, and Lagabele defends the opponent's arrows. Nash only needs to shrink the defense and hold his position on the defensive end this season.

According to the famous saying of "winning the championship with defense" in this era, the Raptors have already had the basis to win the championship, because Nash's defense is no longer a problem.

So, although the Raptors are not good now, this team is like Barkley talking about the Bobcats, and this team is now a more advanced team.

In addition to the Raptors, the reason why the Magic and the Nets did not win completely is mainly because of the new tactical system and the new needs to be run-in.

After playing in the Five Fronts for two seasons, the Nets have less running-in and better record.

Without McGrady's Magic Team, there is a somewhat interesting problem now.

That's the question of who will play the shooting guard.

After McGrady exchanged for Big Ben, Hamilton and Prince, there was no problem with Big Ben's center and Prince's power forward, the key was the problem of shooting guard.

Obviously, for the Magic, Hamilton is a better choice. This is not because of strength, but because Hamilton's defense is indeed better and his physical strength is better, and he can take into account both offense and defense.

Moreover, Hamilton and Parker are also able to play their ball-holding characteristics better.

It can be said that Hamilton plays and Ginobili plays as a substitute, which is a better choice for the Magic.

Things fans know.

But as the head coach of the Magic, Doug had to let his beloved Ginobili play.

The reason why Doug made Ginobili fight was not because of tactical innovation. Doug just had a chicken soup coach, so what tactical innovation could he have?

Doug simply felt that Ginobi could use it easily and give him a sense of security.

This is indeed true. Ginobili was on the Magic and I don’t know how many times he saved Rivers at the critical moment.

It can be said that the whole magic, except Duncan, is Ginobili who makes Lao Li feel safe the most.

The Magic's championship in 2004 was played by Ginobili with the team when McGrady was injured.

At that time, when the Timberwolves were played in the finals, Duncan and Garnett trembled, and McGrady was injured again, it was really all up to Ginobili.

So, in the Magic this season, Ginobili's mission is really heavy.

Lao Li wanted to give Ginobili all the ball rights and shooting rights left by McGrady after he left.

Therefore, Ginobili's shots reached 18 times this season, averaging 38 minutes of playing time, all of which set career highs.

Lao Li really wants to regard Ginobili as a superstar, and even use it as a super giant!

Lao Li's persistence really touched Ginobili.

But what made Ginobili feel a little embarrassed was that his shooting percentage this season has set the second lowest in his career.

In fact, Ginobili can't be blamed for this.

Since you have enjoyed the treatment of a superstar or even a super giant in the team, Ginobili wants to repay Lao Li.

On the court, Ginobili can't just attack or defend, right?

On the court, he had to attack and defend, and had to play for 38 minutes, which really made it difficult for him.

Ginobili can use this in a series, but in an 82-game regular season, I often use it back to back just now. To be honest, Ginobili feels that his small body is really unbearable.

But there is no way, Lao Li wants to use this, Ginobili can only thank Lao Li with tears in his eyes.

Lao Li is a very stubborn person. Although he is capable, he has a bad temper.

Isn’t this the reason why Lao Li and Paulo have happened in history?

Of course, as a key figure in the 2004 championship, Ginobili still has a status in the NBA, so although Hamilton does not want to play as a substitute, he can only accept it.

In short, because of Lao Li, the Magic team was a little confused this season after McGrady was gone.

It can be said that this season, the most stable teams in the entire East are the Bobcats and the Heat.

The main creator of the Heat has not changed, and the original cast is the team.

The Nets are the same team upgraded on the spot. Although Roy and Aldridge performed well, both of them are plug-ins, plug-and-play, and do not affect the team's chemistry.

Moreover, it is mainly because Xiao Cannon is really stable this season.

This season, the league and the major teams in the East have had their own problems, but these problems are actually some trivial problems.

Just talk about Lao Li and Magic, Lao Li is just a little stubborn.

Why stubborn?

Of course, it was a remarkable thing for McGrady.

McGrady is his favorite, and McGrady can be said to have grown up with him.

He was sent away by the Magic Team like this.

How could Lao Li be so loyal if he doesn't come out and jump around for a few times?

There is no better choice, so he will let Big Ben fight Prince, and he will admit it, but why should his love aspirations give way to the one who took McGrady?

Isn't this going to hurt me again?

If you have the ability, you will change my head coach.

If I don’t change, I won’t let my emotions vent!

So, you can say that Lao Li is not a very good head coach, but he is still a good person.
