Lu Wei's offensive performance is very good, he can make sudden shots and shoot, but his defense is a bit lacking.

Nate Robinson's performance was a bit unexpected. Even if Kongbu selected him, not many people were optimistic about his development. He is really too short.

In addition, in his draft report, experts commented that his style is similar to Allen Iverson.

As a result, after playing six preseason games, Nate Robinson did not make a single breakthrough. He averaged about 6 shots per game, either using teammates' pick-and-rolls to shoot, or running wildly without the ball, waiting for teammates to pass, and then catching the ball.

Just vote.

He plays very smartly, using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and perfectly avoids the disadvantage of his height.

His performance of averaging 9 points and 10 assists per game has been far better than the predictions of various experts.

Kongbu is quite satisfied with this year's newcomers. Although the average quality is a bit worse, each has its own characteristics, which also allows Kongbu to put together a diverse lineup when facing diverse opponents.

As the saying goes, one thing is better than the other. Take Little Potato Robinson as an example. When he met a white point guard with rubbish physical fitness, he was like a god of war.

In 2008, Xiaodudou played against the Trail Blazers. At that time, the Trail Blazers' main point guard was white Steve Blake. As a result, Xiaodudou scored 45 points in the game.

A short man, less than 1.7 meters tall, scored 45 points in the NBA. This is a myth in itself.

To know how many first-class stars in the NBA, their highest score in their entire career may not be 45 points.

The key is that this is not Xiaodudou's only 40-point game. He has three 40-point games in his career, which is quite remarkable.

In addition, Xiaodudou himself works hard enough. He knows very well that if his physical fitness does not work hard, he will not be able to stand in the NBA, so he will seize any opportunity to improve himself, even in the summer league. This is why he

The reason why the jersey will be retired by Summer League.

For this kind of player, what reason does Kongbu have not to help him? Even if he didn't help, he would never laugh at him like Larry Brown did, calling him a little brat.

The preseason is over and the opening game of the new season begins.

Naturally, the Bobcats have to play the opening game. As expected, their opponent in the opening game is the Knicks, and it is still the Knicks' home court.

Combs is already used to it. He doesn't even need to look at this season's schedule to know that his first game of the new season will be an away game with the Knicks.

The Knicks got Howard and Mobley, and Thomas was so proud that he just wanted to try the Knicks to see how effective this lineup is.

If you can crush the Bobcats, then everything will be happy, and it proves that your lineup layout ability is good.

If they are defeated by the Bobcats, there will still be a few months until the trade market closes, and the Knicks will still have plenty of time to adjust their lineup.

At 7:30 pm on October 19, players from both sides began to enter the stadium.

Compared with last season, the lineups of both teams have undergone considerable adjustments.

The Knicks' five-man lineup last season now only consists of Da Zhi and Marion.

The Bobcats' lineup is center Ben, power forward Bosh, small forward Granger, shooting guard Iguodala and point guard Chris Paul.

The lineup is the same as the Knicks, with only two players left, and Ben was not part of the team last season.

Now that O'Pang is gone, he has legitimately become the center, which is also the position he is most confident in.

Before coming on stage, Kongbu began to assign tasks to the five people.

"Paul, tonight is your career debut, and the Knicks don't even have a serious point guard in their lineup. You are in the right place at the right time, so you must seize this excellent opportunity."

"Make a name for yourself tonight!"

Kongbu called Paul to his side and said.

Paul's face became excited. He knew that Combs was right. The Knicks were strong in every aspect, but they didn't have a serious point guard. Their current point guard was Charlie Ward, a veteran who entered the league in 1994. He has been a top point guard throughout his career.

Played for the Knicks, but was always a substitute.

In the past few years, he has been playing as a substitute for Payton. Now that Payton has left the team, he has finally taken the position after his long-term wife became a mother-in-law.

Since he has been able to serve as a substitute for so many years, Charlie Ward must still have something, but certainly not much. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stay with the Knicks, and he would have been poached by other teams long ago.

"Iguodala, tonight you face Mobley. No matter which way I look at it, you will crush Mobley in all aspects."

"I won't tell you how to deal with Mobley. After all, Mobley is not a young man. You played against him last season and you know how to restrict him."

"Danny, don't be so restrained on the court, play as wildly as possible."

"You are no worse than anyone else. I can even put it here. Your offensive firepower is at the historical level in the NBA. Among all the small forwards currently in service, there are no more than three who are better than you in terms of offensive firepower."

"Even if you are facing Marion tonight, I definitely don't think you are the inferior side."

"Go ahead and do it, I believe in you!"

Combo then looked at the two forwards and defenders, Iguodala and Granger, who looked honest and friendly.

Iguodala looks honest, but honest people don't do honest things. He is smarter and cunning than anyone else.

And Granger is really honest, so honest that he looks a bit naive and stupid.

After hearing Kongbu's encouragement, Granger nodded solemnly, full of confidence.

Kongbu looked at the Bobcats' inside twin towers, Ben and Bosh.

"Bosh, you have fought against Da Zhi countless times. In the past two years, you have faced off at least twenty times."

"You don't need to tell me what to do."

"Ben, you have to be careful tonight. I know that guy Shaq has always looked down on Howard, and you may have been influenced by him."

"This kid is not as simple as you think. You must protect our rebounds tonight."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kongbu gave instructions to Big Ben and Bosh.

Needless to say, Bosh really can't beat Dazhi. After so many fights, Bosh has never had the upper hand in front of Dazhi.

But this is not important. As long as Bosh's disadvantage is not too great, it will not have a big impact on the situation of the battle.

What Kongbu is really worried about is Daben.

Howard was humiliated by O'Fatty many times. Last season, he fought O'Fatty twice and was beaten to death by O'Fatty both times.

Not only O'Pang, Howard was also beaten after meeting Yao Ming.

Big Ben didn't have a chance to play against the Suns when he was in the Pistons last season. Then he came to the Bobcats. The Bobcats' fight with the Suns was over, so he still hasn't had a direct conversation with Howard.

Kongbu was worried that Ben would underestimate Howard and suffer a big loss on the court.

Howard was defeated by Paul O'Brien and Yao Ming. He really couldn't defeat these two people, but when Howard faced off against Ben, he had an advantage from beginning to end.

Ever since Howard entered the league in his rookie season, under normal circumstances, his rookie season has been a real advantage in terms of scoring and rebounding.

Big Ben's defense didn't work very well against Howard, and he couldn't grab Howard's rebounds.

"Boss, don't worry. I'm old enough. I've never experienced any weird things, so I won't look down on anyone."

"But now that you say it, I'm actually interested in this guy."

Daben said with a smile.

Is it worth it for Kongbu to remind himself to be careful? Ben has played under Kongbu for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered it.

"Dudududu!"

The referee's whistle sounded and both teams began to take the field.

After seeing the Bobcats' lineup, Thomas Sr. had a smile on his face. He felt that the Knicks had a big advantage in this game.

Because the Knicks lack two guns in the backcourt, their combat effectiveness has declined, which Thomas Sr. also admitted.

But the Bobcats' decline in strength is even more serious in Thomas's view. Without O'Fatty and Hill, will the Bobcats still be the dynasty Bobcats?

O'Brien is a top-two super center in the league, and Hill was recognized as the league's number one small forward before he was injured.

Any team missing these two players would definitely be a fatal blow, and even enough to cause the team to fall from a strong level to a weak level.

Seeing that Kongbu sent out a bunch of new players tonight, Old Thomas thought that Kongbu must have run out of skills and was forced to have no choice, so he sent out such a lineup.

How did he know that this lineup was carefully selected by Kongbu, and its combat power was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Howard won the jump ball and the Knicks started to attack.

Charlie Ward controlled the ball to the frontcourt, did not dare to dribble more, and directly looked for an opportunity to pass it to Da Zhi.

After Dazhi received the pass near the top of the arc, he started to hit Bosh with his back.

After two hits, Dazhi did not take a shot, but jumped up and passed the ball directly to Howard under the basket.

The next second, Howard had Ben with his back under the basket, turned around and dunked directly.

Seeing Howard dunk on his head at the beginning, Ben's expression became solemn.

He discovered that the guy in front of him was indeed not simple. At least this speed was somewhat unheard of. Ben had been playing in the league for so many years and had faced off against various insiders. This was the first time he had seen a center with such speed.

So fast.

Before Ben even had time to suppress the ball, Howard had already dunked.

In fact, it's not that Howard is really that perverted, but that when Ben entered the league, the four major centers were already aging. For example, Admiral Robinson, who is famous for his physical fitness, has lost his peak style.

In addition, Howard's terrifying bullet speed is actually only useful against short insiders like Ben. If he faces O'Pan or Yao Ming, he doesn't even have to take off, he can just reach out and block Howard, and the bullet speed is still high.

What use can it play?

After completing the dunk in the opening game, Thomas senior beat his chest with joy and roared on the sidelines. He seemed even more excited than Howard.
