Chapter 373 374. The Worst Champion (four more)

On this day, with the end of the game between the Bobcats and the Bulls, another epic battle finally came to an end.

Under Chris Paul's outstanding performance, the Hornets finally experienced four quarters of hard work and defeated the league's No. [-] Eagles with difficulty.

Although it is the last one, but the last one is also the first...

Facing the Hawks, the Hornets hit hard, and Chris Paul scored 26 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists.

And in the more than three minutes before the end, he personally scored 6 points and 2 assists, leading the team to kill the game in one fell swoop.

As the old partner of rookie Paul, David West performed equally well in this game.

全场比赛17投12中，罚球4中4，砍下了28分8篮板的不俗数据。

The pick-and-roll with Paul in the high position also became more and more tacit as the season progressed.

The mid-range between Paul and West is already very accurate, and combined with the pick-and-roll can form a variety of offensive options.

What's more, Chris Paul has always been a very smart player, he can catch a little bit of mistakes on the defensive end, thus eating away a greater advantage.

So for this year's best rookie award, Paul has always been at the top of the rookie list, leaving everyone behind him far behind.

As for Bogut, the No. [-] pick from Australia this year, if it wasn't for the No. [-] pick, he would have gained some extra points.

Then in the top five of the rookie list, I'm afraid you won't see such an ugly name.

Especially after being educated by the Bobcats, the Bucks' management also had great doubts about Bogut's defensive ability.

After all, Liu Rui is a well-known head coach in the current league. He has no grievances with Bogut in private. He can say in public that Bogut's defensive ability is poor, so it is definitely not groundless.

In addition, the Bobcats' crazy targeting of Bogut in that game seemed to have given some inspiration to other teams. When facing the Bucks, they always targeted Bogut intentionally or unintentionally, which made Bogut very crazy on the court.

Because this kind of phenomenon has gained some small-scale popularity in the league after the game with the Bobcats.

The explosion of mentality also made Bogut extremely impatient on the court. He received meaningless defensive fouls on the defensive end many times, and he was also able to dunk against an empty basket on the offensive end.

This made Bogut's already poor data even more bleak in the limited playing time. This series of situations also fell into the eyes of the Bucks management.

It made the already puzzled Bucks management feel heartbroken, and the general manager of the Bucks seemed to have aged by more than five years overnight.

"I finally got the number one lottery, so don't he be a parallel importer!!"

What really created this situation actually came from the Magic after the game with the Bobcats.

After being targeted by the Bobcats, Liu Rui said in an interview that Bogut's personal defense was poor, not as good as the data reflected, and he also got the support of many people in the league.

In that game, Liu Rui deliberately arranged for the team's insiders to take turns to ravage Bogut. It can be said that Bogut was miserable, and finally got a malicious foul.

While being sent off, he was also fined a huge amount by the league.

This is not over yet. In the next game between the Bucks and the Magic, Howard's old opponent Okafor had an absolute upper hand in the matchup with Bogut, which aroused Howard's desire to compare.

Because one of the two was the No. 04 pick in 04, and the other was the No. [-] pick in [-], they have been compared by people since they entered the league.

However, in the best rookie competition that year, Howard still lost to Okafor, which made the young and energetic Warcraft feel very uncomfortable.

So facing Bogut, who was once beaten by his old opponent, Howard burst out with a strong desire to attack.

This desire to attack is so strong that Howard has not been so active on the offensive end all season.

He asked for the ball strongly in the low post many times, signaled his teammates to pull away, and resolutely played Bogut in 1v1 singles without any help from his teammates.

Because when the Bobcats were playing the Bucks, Okafor also used non-stop pick-and-rolls and the cooperation of his teammates to severely target a wave of Bogut.

In order to prove that he is stronger than Okafor, Howard insisted on one-on-one strong play in the low post, and rejected the pick-and-roll signal given by his teammates.

Although this made the head coach of the Magic, Brian Hill, feel very confused, but the overall level of the Magic is far above the Bucks, and the Bucks were suppressed throughout the game.

So in the face of Howard's strong demand for the ball, the head coach didn't say anything.

Because for the current management of the Magic, Howard is far more important than his head coach.

The Magic have decided to train Howard as the core of their team, and the team's head coach will face the risk of getting out of class at any time.

So Brian Hill didn't care about these small things. After all, even he himself was very curious, because he had never seen Howard have such a strong desire to attack throughout the season.

Even he was very confused off the court, thinking that Howard and Bogut had some conflicts in private, let alone stop it on the court.

This also caused Howard to play Bogut in the low post for a whole game. As long as Bogut is off the court to rest, Howard will rest off the court. As long as Bogut plays Howard will play, which makes Bogut feel very angry.

"Fuck, it's endless, just grab me alone and target it endlessly??"

So when defending Howard again on the court, the defensive action will inevitably increase.

This also caused the two sides to almost cause conflicts on the court several times, because in Howard's understanding, the Bobcats did not suffer in the fight, so I should not suffer, otherwise I would be inferior.

This further confirmed Howard's determination to play low and strong, and the whole game was as exciting as taking stimulants.

Regardless of whether you can score or not, first bump Bogut a few more times on the body, and then make a shot after turning around.

After a few rounds of tough fights, Bogut was a little timid on the court. He felt that Howard had something wrong with him, and he was unwilling to fight hard with him again at the basket.

I asked the coach to leave the game several times, but was ignored by the coach.

This made Bogut very dissatisfied on the court, and in the end he even used a fake injury to request a forced exit.

In that game, Howard's data was 29 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks...
