So far this season, the Bobcats' substitute lineup has not lost, starting with point guard Earl Watson, to shooting guard Wesley Matthews, to small forward Lao Du, power forward Tagibson, and finally Kwame Brown.

Every time you switch to other teams, you have the strength at the quasi-main level.

If this strength can still be lost, the opponent's substitute strength will be unimaginable.

However, it was this game that the Bobcats' substitute lineup lost.

In the second quarter, Li Ke brought Earl Watson, Lao Du, Tagibson and Kua No. 1 pick.

A rotation lineup led by Old Shark on the other side is composed of Jared Jack, JR, Bathir and Guagua.

Well, it is actually normal for Bobcats to lose the game only on paper. If Lao Du and Tagibson praise the No. 1 picks as players at the quasi-main level, then Jack, JR, and Bathir can remove the accurate word.

The reason why the Nuggets are Galaxy Battleships is not only because their main lineup includes Billups, Guagua and Old Sharks, but more importantly, they also have this group of substitutes.

Faced with the butter-handed praise of the top scorer, the 37-year-old Shark can only use one hand to disrupt the Bobcats' penalty area.

Li Ke needs to keep an eye on Guagua and not give Guagua a little chance. This is the first thing Li Ke has to do in this game.

So, Jack and JR also began their rampage, crazy outside projection, various rushes, and the impact was very wavering, but the effect was very good.

The Nuggets' scores were rising all the way. When they turned around, they looked at the Bobcats. The offense was still the same as in the first quarter, stiff and stagnant. Each ball gave people a feeling of being very far away from the score.

After halftime, the Bobcats could only look at a 17-point fall and sighed.

"57 to 40, the Nuggets took the lead by up to 17 points in the first half. For the Bobcats, the situation should be worse than they thought."

"The Bobcats are indeed the top-notch team in the league. Their record can prove this, but this game can also prove that there is a gap between the strong teams."

During the intermission, Barkley once again made an early judgment.

Kenny Smith, who was standing beside him, glared: "So, Charles, do you think the Bobcats can't reverse this game?"

"Yes, Kenny, that's true, the first half of the game is enough to determine the end of the game."

Barkley said this, and finally added a provocative sentence: "Do you want to bet with me, Kenny?"

Just as Barkley watched with anticipation, Kenny Smith shook his head unexpectedly: "No, Charles, I, like you, don't think the Bobcats have a chance to turn the tables..."

After saying that, the two began to laugh.

In the locker room during the intermission, the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

"We were too behind in the half game. This is a scene that shouldn't have happened. In the second half, I want to see you have better offense and better defense..."

In a silent locker room, Li Ke looked up at Sam Vincent, who was waving his hands and showing anger.

So far this season, the Bobcats are rarely behind so much at halftime, so this is the first time Li Ke has seen Sam Vincent like this.

He suddenly felt that after the coaching rookie won the championship season, Sam Vincent had another season that was not considered successful in Li Ke but was very successful in his own opinion.

So, in the third season, Sam Vincent became a little drifty.

He seemed to really think that he was a champion coach.

During the entire halftime break, Li Ke only heard Sam Vincent's scolding, and Sam Vincent kept throwing the problem to the players, without any adjustments about how to play in the second half.

It seems that Sam Vincent really thinks that his tactical arrangement and response were correct from the beginning, and even if he fell behind in the middle of the game, he would not need any adjustments.

Li Ke shook his head secretly when he heard this. He knew that if he continued to insist on the triangular attack, the Bobcat would never be able to reverse it.

Only by changing can we save this focus battle that has already lost half.

...

After midfield, Time Warner Center became much colder.

No one wants to see their home team lose, and the Bobcats fans are pretty good, at least they won't leave early.

With the attention of thousands of fans, the second half of the game started.

In front of the technical table, Li Ke, who put his hands on his hips, suddenly stretched out his right hand and hugged Curry, who was confused and wanted to resist at the first time.

"What are you doing on the horse? Stephen, stop hiding, say something whisper."

Li Ke patted Curry's thin shoulder heavily and reminded him.

Curry then fell over in shock.

"I said, the game later will belong to you, and I will let Kenyon, DeAndre and Gerald cooperate with you."

"?"

Curry widened his eyes. He didn't expect this to be the case. In addition to being surprised, he was even more suspicious, suspected that Li Ke was making his joke.

After all, the head coach's arrangement is: give that damn ball to Sheldon!

"Don't stare at me, I'm not kidding me, I'll hold your ball later. We need a victory, do you understand?"

Curry swallowed: "I understand."

Regardless of whether Curry is ready or not, the game needs to be held in a different way.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Nuggets' ball rights.

After returning to the main Nuggets, the ball rights continued to be in the hands of Billups.

Perhaps with the guarantee of ball rights, Curry has become much more serious and tough on the defensive end.

He and the fireplace hard steel, although the steel cannot win, they still have momentum.

"Changxi, with a cover from Rashid Wallace, broke into the three-point line, and stopped in the middle distance, and this goal has been achieved!"

Swish—!

The basketball went through the net frame crisply, 59 to 40…

By the time the Bobcats really hold the basketball in their hands, the gap in scores is even greater.

In two competitions, 19 points behind, the Bobcats' reversal began.

"The Bobcats kicked off in the backcourt, and the ball was in the frontcourt. Stephen Curry was so behind in the half. Let's see what changes they will change in the second half."

Kenny Smith was making formulaic commentary. He no longer had expectations for this game, but his commentary work could not be terminated.

So, as he spoke, his thoughts began to wander.

As Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, Kenny Smith's next sentence became: "Uh...hey! Charles, why don't we talk about the draft and talk about Stephen Curry and Michael Jordan's choice. At present, do you think it's right or wrong?"

The topic has changed, and the focus has also changed.

"Then let's start with the data. So far this season, Stephen Curry has averaged 14.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 19 games he played for the Bobcats. The data looks pretty good, but the shooting percentage is just over 40%, which is a bit bad."

"Considering his physical fitness and potential, I don't think his future development will be worthy of the high draw of the fifth pick in the first round..."

“So, is it (this choice) a failure?”

"That's right."

However, just when Kenny Smith and Barkley were so fierce that they were not optimistic about Curry, there was a heavy ironclad sound on the court.

That's right, it's Curry.

He cooperated with Li Ke and caught the Nuggets off guard.

It was a pick-and-roll cooperation, but in fact it was a pick-and-roll cooperation.

The Nuggets' defense went to block Li Ke in one cellular way. Curry, who was empty, jumped out of the three-point line and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

Although he had made a blacksmith, Curry's choice was fine. Even Sam Vincent, who had clamored to give the ball to Li Ke, had no objection.

But this scene was a little bit like Barkley and Kenny Smith on the commentary seat - look, we are right...

With the basket, the old Shark stuck Jordan Jordan and held the rebound, and the discussion in the commentator continued.

"So, Charles, what do you think in the future, is Stephen Curry's best development?"

"Is the best development? Uh, I thought of Steve Cole..."

On the court, in the Nuggets' round, Billups's breakthrough was blocked by the Bobcats' joint defense. Then a pass was passed, Guagua received the ball, and finally got a chance.

For Guagua, the outcome of this game is no longer important. What is important is that he has to seize every opportunity and strive to turn the tables.

However, Li Ke had already made up his mind to kill Guagua.

This kind of opportunity to shoot whenever he catches the ball, he will naturally not let go.

Immediately, I pushed up. No matter how Guagua struggled, the ball would only have one ending.

Bang!

The basketball hit the edge of the basket hard, and was then taken down by Hua Lao Er who was waiting on the side.

"Very good, Melo still failed to seize the opportunity. In this game... he has missed 7 shots..."

The topic first changed from Curry, and when the Bobcats started to counterattack, they returned to Curry.

"So, you think Curry's best development would be Steve Cole, emmm. If a five-pick can only choose a point guard who can only shoot three points, it is indeed a failure."

"Uh, actually, I also thought of another player who has retired."

Just when Kenny Smith agreed with Barkley, Barkley suddenly said this.

"who?"
