Standing pretty old

Chapter 487 Meow Meow Meow

Speaking of the Bobcats, people are more familiar with their owner - Michael Jordan, rather than their team members.

As the core of the Bobcats, Gerald Wallace is an above-level player on both ends of the offense and defense, but in this era of appearance, no matter how you evaluate him, he does not have the qualifications to become a superstar.

This year the Bobcats selected Durant's college alumni DJ* Augustin with the ninth pick in the first round.

Due to Richardson's departure, DJ* Augustin and Raymond* Felton formed the league's shortest starting backcourt combination. Larry Brown is using Augustin as Iverson, but what Felton, one of the North Carolina juniors, is not Eric Snow who is willing to wipe his ass behind Augustine.

The Bobcats have only one purpose for sitting on such a double-short backcourt: to develop the shot-blocking ability of Okafor and Gerald Wallace.

Anyway, the moment Ruan Erniu saw the Bobcats starting lineup, he felt that the suspense of this game was not much.

Not to mention, Mike Woodson also took the initiative to say hello to his old superior Larry Brown before the game, which can even be said to be an act of weakness in the NBA.

However, given that the strength of the Eagles is far above the Bobcats, it can also be said that this is Woodson's respect for Larry Brown, a famous coach of this generation.

On the contrary, Old Brown didn't appreciate it. He simply greeted Woodson and focused his attention on the pre-match preparations.

Woodson said in his heart: "Larry, you guys are useless, so don't bother. It's better to have a chat with me than to be pissed at by someone!"

Someone here is of course talking about Michael Jordan, a basketball player far away in Charlotte.

Jordan's success as a player and the story after that don't need to be repeated too much. Anyway, his masterpiece, the famous high school student No. [-] pick, the butter hand named and criticized by Phil Jackson-Kwame Brown can basically explain the problem.

One of Jordan's few visionary actions is to select Larry Brown to coach the Bobcats, but the impetuous atmosphere of the league and Jordan's love to intervene in team affairs have always made the Bobcats fail to improve.

Brown's life in the Bobcats was not easy. Whether it was his past coaching experience or Jordan's brilliance, he had put a lot of external pressure on the old man. It is not an easy task to lead Charlotte to rise.

Ruan Erniu was warming up before the game as usual. After a long shot, the basketball bounced far away.

Er Niu walked to the side of the field to pick up the ball, and when he looked up, he saw his little fan Eddie Freeman enter the field.

"Eddie? Are you okay?"

Freeman was wearing a certain peaked cap, but there was an obvious bloodstain on his dark face, which could be seen as a fresh injury.

Eddie froze for a moment, then thought of something, lowered his head, and pulled the visor vigorously.

When he raised his head, Eddie said with a smile on his face, "I just accidentally scratched, hey! Kraft, kick Charlotte's ass hard tonight too!"

As he spoke, he gave Er Niu a high five happily.

Ruan Erniu felt something was wrong. After thinking for a while, Erniu asked Larry Drew for a pen and note paper, wrote down his phone number, and handed it to little Eddie.

"Although I don't know what trouble you have encountered, I also believe that you are a man, but if you really encounter a problem that cannot be solved, Eddie, please call me, we are friends, right?"

It has been more than a season, and Erniu has become accustomed to the shouts of this little fan behind the bench at home. He likes this kid's energetic cheering!

At the beginning in the stands, although Er Niu rescued Eddie Freeman who was squeezed from the stands, in fact, on the other hand, it wasn't Freeman who fulfilled Er Niu's heroic behavior and advanced to the top position.

Fate is such a wonderful thing, different skin colors and different ethnicities, but on a specific stage, they complement each other.

At least in Er Niu's view, he and the little guy Eddie Freeman are indeed destined.

Eddie accepted Er Niu's number and thanked him softly.

Judging from the way Eddie has always dressed, his family background is quite ordinary, and it is almost conceivable that he came from the South Side of Atlanta, where Erniu had never set foot.

The United States is not a paradise. To be precise, this country should be a magical world where hell and heaven can be seamlessly connected.

Compared with the richer white communities with good law and order, maybe a block away, it is a hell on earth ruled by blacks and old Mo, guns, drugs, gangsters, countless bloodshed and crimes, this is the damn reality!

After playing this home game, Ruan Erniu will fly to Cleveland immediately to participate in back-to-back games against the Cavaliers. If he has time, he really wants to have a good chat with Eddie.

After the warm-up is over, the two sides will send their starters:
For the Eagles, Chris Anderson has firmly taken the starting position in the absence of a lunar eclipse injury.

Obviously, this is not because he is stronger than Pachulia, but because Ruan Erniu has never needed help from others when it comes to carrying people.

The Bobcats' starters are:
C Alexie Akinsa

PF Emeka Okafor

SF Gerald Wallace

SG Raymond Felton

PGDJ* Augustine
Gaul Ajinsa was the 08th pick in the 20 draft, but apart from his 7-foot shooting height (213cm), he has no advantages for Erniu.

Ruan Erniu won the jump ball neatly by virtue of his bullet speed advantage, and Bibby held the ball across the half.

Augustine's defense was almost negligible. The old man Bibby was talking about being a teenager, and even Anderson's pick-and-roll was useless. He directly took the ball into the penalty area and shot a mid-range jumper.

"boom!"

Bibby didn't feel good at the beginning, hit the iron!

Ruan Erniu struggled to grab rebounds and took off continuously in front of Akinsa. Taking advantage of Okafor and Wallace's help defense, Ruan Erniu finally got an offensive rebound near the baseline.

Er Niu didn't look at people, and directly passed the ball to Salmons, who was unguarded beyond the three-point line. Salmon's defender in this game was not Gerald Wallace, and Elvis Presley went to deal with Jon. Well, Felton, who is in charge of defending him, hasn't found his position yet, so this is a big open space!

Salmons adjusted, shot, hit!
The Eagles opened the scoring first, and the tone of the game was set from the first goal!

Bobcats are ferocious and cunning in nature, but the Bobcats are just a meow in front of the Eagles.

In fact, the best performer in the first quarter should be "Elvis" Gerald Wallace. He made 6 of 6 shots in a single quarter, scored 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and beat the defense's 囧囧 Sen Fangcheng made 6 of 2 shots and relied on free throws to score 6 points and 2 assists.

However, DJ Augustin, who made 7 of 1 shots in a single quarter, and Felton, who made 4 of 1 shots in the backcourt, made people desperate.

Although the Gaul Akinsa and the substitute Ryan Hollins are both tall and strong 7-footers, in front of Er Niu, these two guys with serious lack of offensive skills are no different from wooden piles.

Ruan Erniu almost completed the offense in the middle distance and inside the entire game, and completely slammed the Bobcats inside without any problems.

Iron-like facts have proved that having height and physical fitness is not enough on a top stage like the NBA.

As long as Ruan Erniu pushes people out of the penalty area on the defensive end and makes more use of his speed advantage on the offensive end, he can easily beat his opponent.

With 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists, Er Niu scored a double-double in the first quarter and played quite easily on both offense and defense.

Maybe it was because the air conditioner in the Philips Arena was turned up too high tonight, and Er Niu felt like he didn't even sweat much.

At 26:33, the Eagles easily ended the first quarter with a 7-point advantage.

Ruan Erniu said to Van Exel next to him, "Why don't you announce your comeback temporarily and go up and play for 2 minutes?"

What Er Niu said was a joke, but seeing Fan Fan's eagerness to try, he seems to be serious!
