Chapter 344 345. General phone call (three more)
With the victory over the league's No. [-] Mavericks, the morale of today's Bobcats has also soared.
For rookie players, this is a silent encouragement.
But the side effects of this game are equally obvious.
In the final stage of the game, all players have gone all out to win the game without any reservations.
Coupled with the continuous away games, it also had a great impact on the physical strength and state of the Bobcats players.
So in the next two games, the Bobcats lost to the other two powerful Suns and the Spurs in the West.
In these two games, the disadvantages of consecutive away games were finally revealed.
Coupled with the fact that the Bobcats players used too much force in the game against the Mavericks, the period of fatigue after the game also appeared at this time.
Not to mention the Bobcats in this state, even the Bobcats at their peak, may not be able to win a victory in the hands of the Suns and Spurs.
After all, after one season, the Bobcats are not the only team that has become stronger. All teams have also made reinforcements, and the players have become more sophisticated.
Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, this truth is better understood by strong teams than weak teams.
After all, what about weak teams, such as the Eagles? !It can be said that there is no way to retreat...
Although the loss of these two games also ended the Bobcats' five-game winning streak, and the record came back to seven wins and five losses, slipping to sixth place in the East.
But for the Bobcats, there is still good news.
After losing to the Spurs and the Suns in the away games, it means that the Bobcats' current western road trip is completely over.
In the next, Bobcats will return to the home court to meet the challenges of other teams.
Playing at home can make the players in better condition.
And the end of the Western Conference road trip will also bring the Bobcats a few days of rest.
This kind of rest time is very rare for Liu Rui.
...............
April 11
Taking advantage of the rare rest time, Liu Rui, who had already returned to Charlotte, was teasing the little girl Limia at home.
Continuous away games are not only a test for the players, but also a torment for the coaches.
Perhaps after the game, the players can go back to the hotel to relax and recover their physical strength.
But the coach still has to conduct a rigorous analysis of the opponent for the next game.
Although Liu Rui is relatively lazy in this regard, he usually leaves it to Montgomery and others for discussion, and he is only responsible for the final decision.
But even so, the five consecutive away games still made Liu Rui feel very tired.
It was a rare return to his base camp, and Liu Rui also played with the little girl in the living room with her when he returned home.
Then the cell phone placed on the coffee table rang. Liu Rui thought it was someone from the team calling him again, but later found out that it was actually a call from someone who had been assigned to the Development League.
"Hello, roughly, what's the matter?"
After answering Wang Zhizhi's call, Liu Rui also remembered that he hadn't contacted him for a long time.
Although I have been paying attention to the general performance in the development league, the communication between the two does not have much communication.
It was also because of the current continuous away games of the Bobcats that Liu Rui couldn't be distracted to think about other things at all.
"Hey coach, there's nothing wrong. Hey, there's just no game today. Seeing that the team played so well away from home, I'll call you to congratulate you."
"I was watching the replay and saw that the team beat the Mavericks. Even I was very excited. Hey, it's just a pity that I wasn't there at the time."
Hearing the general words, Liu Rui also shook his head with a smile.
The feeling guy is looking for a sense of existence in front of him. Since he was sent to the Development League, he has not contacted him, for fear that he will forget him, but he is embarrassed to say, this guy.
"Haha, I have been paying attention to your performance in the Development League. You have performed well recently, but there are still some problems."
"I sent you to the Development League because of the limited playing time you can get in the team, and your body has a big disadvantage in the confrontation in the NBA."
"So you can temporarily let go of the three-pointer on the side of the Development League. After all, my original intention is not to let you abuse food, but to let you get exercise."
"You can try to go inside more and actively seek physical confrontation with other centers, and you can also suffer a little more in training, so that you can strengthen your own physical fitness in the shortest time."
"Your shooting and footsteps are definitely not bad in the league's insiders, and it can even be said to exceed most insiders."
"Your real disadvantage lies in the lack of physical confrontation. When you are put on the court, if you can't make a goal on the offensive end, then you will be targeted on the defensive end."
"So you can try to take the initiative to find physical confrontation, and adapt to this rhythm more. Letting you find physical confrontation is not to make you hit the basket in the future, but to let you get more exercise."
Facing Wang Zhizhi, Liu Rui was more patient.
Delegating him to the Development League does not mean that he will not be able to play in the team. After all, Wang Zhizhi has a soft touch. In this era, Wang Zhizhi is indeed a good player in terms of three-point shooting among interior players.
It's just that his physical fitness is really poor. Whether it's the shooting after being disturbed on the offensive end or the low post on the defensive end, there are fatal flaws.
In addition, his playing time in the Bobcats was limited, so Liu Rui sent him to the Development League to exercise his physical fitness by fighting and supporting.
If it wasn't for Wang Zhizhi, Liu Rui wouldn't be bothered to take care of these things.
After all, in the league of the NBA, the most indispensable thing is people with innate conditions.
But everyone is Chinese, and for Wang Zhizhi, Liu Rui still feels that he can help if he can.
What's more, he is not hopeless, if it is Battelle, then Liu Rui is really too lazy to help.
"Well, good coach, I will train myself here as soon as possible, and strive to return to the Bobcats as soon as possible to make some contributions to the team."
Wang Zhizhi also cherishes the opportunity Liu Rui gave him.
Because Wang Zhizhi knew very well that if it wasn't for Liu Rui, he wouldn't be able to get this opportunity to stay in the NBA.
After being waived by the Heat as early as last year, I am afraid that he can only return to China to find a job.
As a player, Liu Rui's return is also very limited, that is, to fulfill the requirements of the coach's arrangement on the field.
And Wang Zhizhi also knew that Liu Rui definitely did not help him for money, because he had no money at all...
