NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

Wang Chen doesn't care about the Bobcats' preseason record.

For Stevens, who is not yet capable enough, and Wang Chen also feels that Stevens has his own pride in his heart, failure will help Stevens' growth more than winning.

In fact, halfway through the game, Wang Chen had the idea of giving Stevens some pointers.

But he thought better of it.

When encountering a problem, the first thing to do is to think about it yourself, and then ask if you really don't understand.

There is no benefit in telling him directly.

There are too many rookies and marginal players in the team at present, and for them, they have no confidence.

They all played timidly, so this record is too normal.

The Bobcats' preseason record is bad, and the bookmakers are also very realistic.

Among the championship odds offered by major bookmakers, the odds of the Bobcats winning the championship are......1:150.

Even on a talk show, a talk show host directly used this as a joke.

"You know I'm from Charlotte, and one day a ten-dollar bill that I had left on my table disappeared, and I couldn't find it anywhere."

"Until my dad came back, I asked him: Have you seen the ten dollars on my desk?"

"My dad said to me: Oh, I saw that the odds of our Charlotte Bobcats were 1 to 150, I used it to support our hometown team, and if we win we will have 1500"

"I asked: Dad, when was the last time you watched NBA?"

"Dad said: Jordan defeated Barkley to win the championship."

After saying this, the talk show host made a stunned expression.

It immediately caused the whole audience to laugh, and people kept whistling and cheering.

Bobcats President's Office

"sorry, I......"

Stevens felt ashamed.

He thought this was an opportunity. Maybe this was his chance to prove himself.

But in fact, he seemed to have oversimplified the NBA. This was not even a regular season game, but a preseason game.

Stevens couldn't imagine how Wang Chen could lead a Nuggets team that was not very strong to win the championship.

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

Wang Chen smiled and said,"Tell me about the problems you found in this preseason."

Wang Chen asked Stevens what he thought of the team at the moment.

"This lineup has a lot of flaws. I tried to let Nash lead the team to play faster, but whether it was Jefferson or Perkins, they always couldn't keep up with the team's rhythm."

"In positional warfare, Perkins, like Ben, seems a bit redundant on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he does not have Ben's speed to push people and make up for the defense. More often, Perkins is more suitable to sit in the interior without moving."

"The other thing is defense. Nash, Boykins, and Martin, these three have too many defensive problems."

Stevens also told Wang Chen a few points he summarized in the preseason.

Wang Chen nodded while listening.

The problems Stevens mentioned do exist.

Wang Chen considered these problems when he first selected players.

But after all, it is an expansion selection, so it is good to have a choice.

Some (bgcf) are not suitable for this lineup, but he has the strength and can play well. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

For such players, Wang Chen plans to give them enough shooting rights. With good data and good performance in the game, there will always be teams that are interested.

"These problems do exist, but it's just the beginning, so there's no rush."

Wang Chen smiled and didn't care too much.

The mid-season transactions are when this team is truly formed.

November 4, 2004.

The NBA season officially begins.

Charlotte.

Charlotte Arena.

This is a venue temporarily rented by the Bobcats. The Bobcats' own home arena, the Time Warner Online Arena, is still under emergency construction. The basketball market in Charlotte is not bad, otherwise the league would not have added the Bobcats to retain Charlotte fans.

For the Bobcats' first game, there are still many fans who bought tickets to see how the first game will perform, and the attendance rate is about 60% to 70%.

The Bobcats' opponent in the first game is the Wizards.

This season, the Wizards have been strengthened. Antawn Jamison, a forward averaging 20+ per game, has joined the Wizards, plus Arenas and Larry Hughes, as well as a number of good role players.

The strength of the Wizards this season , a real powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.

Jordan also watched the game in the first row today.

It's quite a coincidence that Jordan retired from the Wizards two years ago.

And there are many grievances between Jordan and the Wizards.

Jordan originally owned 5% of the Wizards' shares, and if he wanted to come back to play, he had to sell his shares.

At that time, the Wizards owner promised Jordan that he would come back to play to bring popularity to the Wizards, and when Jordan retired again, he would give him a larger proportion of shares.

Jordan thought that his comeback would heat up the basketball market and increase his own shares, so he agreed.

But we all know what happened later. After Jordan retired, the Wizards owner broke his original verbal promise.
