Chapter 326 327. Daily Ridicule (four more)

After the two teams staged an offensive battle in the second quarter, each other slackened on the defensive end.

Of course, each other's defensive capabilities are indeed limited.

So for the current situation on the court, the real offense represents defense.

At halftime, the Bobcats were on the road with:

61:50

Still leading by 11 points, the Warriors ended the first half.

It is worth mentioning that in the second quarter, the Warriors rookie Monta Ellis scored 10 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal in a single quarter, and his performance was very impressive.

And Lu Wei, who has been fighting against him, is not to be outdone, and also contributed 9 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.

In the midfield lounge:

"In the second half, the Warriors may play a lot of pick-and-rolls against Baron Davis, because we were letting him shoot throughout the first half, and we were very good at defending his breakthrough."

"And if the Warriors want to open up the situation and chase points, they will definitely use Baron Davis as a breakthrough point, so Bick may arrange a lot of off-ball pick-and-rolls for him."

"So after going back in the second half, the lineup will not change, but you can switch defenses directly when you encounter a pick-and-roll."

"Because we don't have too many disadvantages even if we have a small defense after switching defenses. Murphy's post-up ability inside is basically negligible. He is a pure-bred outside turret."

"As for Diogu, if you can be beaten by such a rough guy, then I think you should consider changing careers."

"Hahaha."

Hearing Liu Rui's words, the players also burst into laughter.

Judging from the current situation, the expressions on the faces of every player are relatively relaxed. This kind of self-confidence is the most precious thing in a long season.

Liu Rui can be said to be very familiar with the Warriors' style of play, Bickerstaff, so at halftime, he also explained some things to the players,

Avoid inappropriate communication between two people on the field, resulting in loss of position after hesitation. This kind of low-level mistakes should be avoided as much as possible.

After all, habits are formed in the usual bits and pieces. No team can reach the sky in one step. The so-called success also has to go through a season of polishing and tempering before finally winning the championship as it wishes.

After returning from the second half, sure enough, the Warriors added off-ball pick-and-rolls on the offensive end.

Davis, who can pick up the speed, can directly use the pick-and-roll to reach the basket after receiving the ball.

So as to avoid the embarrassing situation of being shorted for two steps.

However, faced with this type of offense, the Bobcats were well prepared at halftime, as long as they encountered a pick-and-roll from the Warriors, they would directly choose to switch defenses.

After all, even Bobcats center Okafor moves fast.

The other two players on the front line, Wallace and Ariza, are even better on the defensive end.

Even the two best defensive players on this Bobcats team.

Under the vicious targeting of the Bobcats' defense, the Warriors' offensive end has not opened up the situation for a long time.

Although with the help of the pick and roll, he also hit a few good shots.

But this kind of ball came too late, and it was far from helping the Warriors out of the woods.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats have been on the road with:

90:75

The leading Warriors ended the first three quarters with 15 points.

Bickerstaff on the sidelines also had some frowns.

Familiar with Liu Rui, he knows very well that it is difficult for the Warriors to have a comeback in the fourth quarter. In addition, Baron Davis also has potential injuries. Bickerstaff has always been more cautious when using it.

So in the fourth quarter, Bickerstaff chose to give up the game early and sent a substitute lineup for training.

Seeing that Bickerstaff gave up the game so early, Liu Rui was also speechless.

This Piccolo has been with me for a year, and he has not learned anything else. I am ashamed of that energy, and I really got the true biography...

Seeing Bickerstaff's employment, Liu Rui also replaced the main lineup in advance, and sent a substitute to train as well.

After all, this is one of his own people, too many points won't do Liu Rui any good, and it will embarrass Bickerstaff.

Anyway, this is also the home court of the Warriors. As his former assistant coach, he still needs to save some face for him.

So at the end of the game, the Bobcats successfully played away with:

111:98

13 points to beat the Warriors.

After winning the first victory of the Western Conference road trip, it also brought the team's current winning streak to a three-game winning streak.

After the game, since the coaches of the two teams were also old acquaintances, and the two teams did not have too much malicious conflict, the players also hugged each other, and the overall atmosphere was good.

And Bickerstaff complained to Liu Rui on the sidelines.

"Rui, you are so rude. I feel that the Warriors are already playing very well on the offensive end, but they are still helpless against you. I have finally built up my self-confidence!!"

Bickerstaff complained to Liu Rui on the sidelines, with a bitter face on his face, and he was about to cry.

"Haha, that's not true. There is a saying in my hometown that you can only drive a Land Rover if you endure hardships. If you are young and don't work hard, you will drive Xiali when you grow up..."

"Huh?! So Rui, you mean that as long as I persist, the Warriors will get better and better, and even be able to reach the level of the Bobcats?!"

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Bickerstaff also stared at Liu Rui with bright eyes.

Although I don't know why, after following this kid for so long, Piccolo always felt that what this guy said was true.

"No, No, No, I mean that's all you can do, so let your son hurry up and work hard..."

"What?!!"

...............

After teasing Bickerstaff a few words in daily life, Liu Rui felt that he was in a better mood...

After the game, he also accepted interviews from the media. After all, this game is quite meaningful for the Bobcats.

If Bickerstaff can gain a firm foothold in the Warriors, then in the future, it will be equivalent to adding a reliable ally in this league.

So if there is a multi-party transaction involved, it is also good news for the Bobcats.

Reporter: "Coach Liu Rui, in this game, the Bobcats finally defeated the Warriors successfully, but the Warriors have also changed a lot this season, so what do you think of the Warriors?!"

Liu Rui: "First of all, Piccolo is a good coach. When he was my assistant coach, he helped me a lot."

"So I am not surprised that he can lead the Warriors to get better, and I also believe that the Warriors will get better and better under his leadership."

"Just the rebuilding of a team definitely needs a process, so I am very optimistic about this Warriors team."
