I’m Really Playing Basketball

This season's Bobcats are a team considered to be competing for the championship, while this season's Boston Celtics have started with 1 win and 6 losses. They are a team that is too fat to continue pursuing the No. 1 pick.

When these two teams are put together now, it is difficult for them to be opponents with a sense of fate or rivalry.

But what's interesting is that this season, Bobcats fans and Celtics fans are often at odds online.

For a time, the entire Celtics' old enemy was no longer the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Charlotte Bobcats.

The reason for this is of course Morrison and Roy.

One of these two people is the No. 1 pick and the other is the No. 2 pick. At the same time, both of them performed very well in the new season.

At the same time, both of them were favored by Jordan. The whole world knew that Jordan got angry because he couldn't get Adam Morrison and said that the one he had always wanted to choose was Roy.

It can be said that the two people were destined to be together from the beginning.

The NBA officials are also quite troublesome. These two people have firmly occupied the first and second positions in the official rookie rankings in the past half month.

The number one player on the official rookie list in the past two weeks has been Morrison, while the number two spot is Roy.

In Morrison's first seven games, Adam Morrison averaged 15 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Compared with Gay, who is always a ghost on the same team, Morrison The performance is very stable.

Moreover, the opponents of the Celtics in the first seven games are not weak. Morrison has played the starting and core role in the past seven games and has faced captain Jackson, Battier, James, Pierce, and Iguodala. Anthony and Josh Smith.

That’s right, the seven opponents ahead of Morrison are all strong-man opponents.

For an average rookie, facing seven opponents like this, it would be very difficult to average double figures per game.

After all, as the No. 1 pick, opponents will basically take care of him and say "Welcome to the NBA" to him.

And this is why Morrison, after scoring only 14 points in the first game, reversed his reputation and ranked first in the rookie rankings for two consecutive weeks.

Because Morrison, like Roy, is a very star-like and very mature player.

By the way, isn't the reason why Boss Joe is so obsessed with Morrison because of his unique temperament?

So much so that he knew Morrison had type diabetes but didn't care.

That's right, Morrison is the only NBA player with diabetes and the first diabetic No. 1 draft pick.

And this is why Celtics general manager Danny Ainge was unwilling to select him with the No. 1 pick.

Of course, because Morrison has performed so well this season, Danny Ainge has no chance to get angry.

In fact, for a patient with type 1 diabetes, the real test is not at the beginning of the season, but at the end of the season. When his physical strength and muscles are almost exhausted, he has to control his diet and cannot replenish energy. Is it possible to perform so well?

The consumption of the NCAA is still incomparable to that of the NBA.

In addition to this, there is not much difference in physical function between type 1 diabetes and normal people. In addition, the NBA has the most advanced sports science in the world. Therefore, this is what those Celtics stars and Jordan are willing to bet on Morrison. reason.

His immediate combat power is indeed strong.

In short, no matter what, Morrison's performance at the beginning of the season was very good. He was able to fight vigorously against strong opponents from all walks of life. Not to mention that he was evenly matched with strong opponents, but he was absolutely different from other rookies who had no ability to fight back. Same.

And this is why Morrison is able to suppress Roy, who is averaging 16 points per game so far this season.

Roy mainly plays as a substitute, and with super light bulbs like Chen Xiao around him, it can be said that Roy has not proven like Morrison that he can perform as usual against all kinds of NBA stars.

In short, Morrison and Roy are the two young men this season. Coupled with the entanglement between the two, it is difficult not to become rivals.

It is for this reason that Jordan deliberately changed the starting lineup for this game.

Chen Xiao played small forward, and Roy replaced Granger as the team's starter.

Boss Joe not only hopes that Roy can win for himself, but also hopes that Roy can win for himself and repair Adam Morris in this game.

The strength shown by Roy this season still makes Jordan very confident.

He is really optimistic about Morrison, but he feels that Roy is definitely not too far behind.

Of course he hopes that Roy can defeat Adam Morrison, but...

This is difficult.

In fact, it is indeed very difficult.

In this game with the Celtics, the Bobcats were too strong and there was no suspense about the outcome of the game. The Bobcats easily defeated the Celtics 118-104 in an away game.

But the duel between Roy and Morrison that attracted the most attention in this game seemed to be somewhat different from the outcome of the game.

Roy and Morrison did not face off directly in this game. It was Gay who defended Roy, and it was Chen Xiao who defended Morrison.

Morrison and Roy are both injured players, and the team hopes that they can focus on offense, while defense can be shared by others.

The integration of offense and defense is really too much to hope for for a player with diabetes and a player with both knee injuries.

In this game, Roy, who focused on offense, played 36 minutes under Gay's full defense. He made 7 of 15 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.

For a rookie, this is a very good statistic. After all, although Gay is also a rookie, he is really not an unknown person. Pippen is not covered. The third place in the rookie rankings this season is Gay.

However, everything needs to be compared. Facing a defensive player like Gay, Roy, who has a data of close to 20+5+5, is naturally not ashamed and is as stable as before.

But, the other party is still too strong.

Facing Chen Xiao's defense, Morrison was like a god in this game. He made 12 of 23 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 27 points in the game! (On this day in history, Morrison played against the Spurs. This is the data. On this day in history, Morrison led the Bobcats to defeat the Spurs in an away game. In this game, Morrison and the Bobcats forced Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Bowen played almost 40 minutes,)

In terms of defensive level, Chen Xiao is much better than Gay.

As for the help provided by the team, the Bobcats helped Roy far more than the Celtics helped Morrison.

In this case, Morrison actually set a career high in scoring in such an unfair duel.

You really can't accept this.

Even Roy himself was convinced.

"He's strong, strong."

"It's really strong."

Chen Xiao said with a smile after Roy finished feeling.

Chen Xiaoke did not let go in this game. As a defensive player, no matter how strong a defensive player you are, it is difficult for you to defend an accurate offensive player.

Otherwise, the NBA wouldn't have so many magical moments from role players.

In this game, Morrison didn't know whether it was because his shooting ability was too strong or because his hand was in good condition. In short, he was really accurate!

Therefore, although the Celtics lost this game, Morrison would definitely win the direct battle with Roy, and it might not be a small victory.

So after the game, at the press conference, all the questions asked by American reporters were Morrison's questions.

And Chen Xiao's evaluation of Morrison is also quite high.

"Adam was incredible tonight. He played a masterpiece of his career. He is an example for all of us to learn from. For Adam's performance, we usually say, great!"

Yes, Chen Xiao’s evaluation of Morrison tonight was great.

In another historical time and space, one and a half months into the NBA season, Morrison ranked first in the rookie rankings for one and a half months. Whether it was China, the United States, fans, experts, or players, all evaluations of Morrison were 'great' ! ’.

Although Morrison is a parallel import, he is different from ordinary parallel imports. Ordinary parallel imports really have no strength and are favored by some combination of circumstances.

Morrison is indeed capable, but his illness makes it impossible for him to exert his strength sometimes, or to continue to exert his strength.

Everyone knows that people with diabetes have poor physical fitness, and the NBA schedule and competition...

To be honest, such a player has surpassed his peers for almost two months. This is not greatness. What is greatness?

It is worth mentioning that Adam Morris was very flattered after hearing Chen Xiao's evaluation of him.

"Adam, we all noticed that after the game, Chen seemed to hug you and say something. What did he say to you at that time?"

"Chen told me, 'Adam, you're not going to be a perfect player, you need to pay attention to your body all the time, you can't do everything like a lot of players do, but, I know, you can take care of your body, So, go for it, and although you can't be a perfect player, you can be a great scorer.

The future will also belong to you. '

I am very happy that Chen sees me in this way. I know that I am different from ordinary NBA players. When my blood sugar is too high or too low, I will feel sluggish and my body no longer seems to belong to me. It will be very difficult for me in the game, but just like Chen expected, I believe I can adjust well to adapt to the long season of 82 games.

I don't know if I can fulfill Chen's expectations of me, but I know that even if I fall in the end, I will do so with all my strength. "

Even if I fall, it will be after I tried my best.

Morrison's words at the post-game press conference immediately became the focus of the entire NBA.

Adam Morris, this year's No. 1 pick, has received countless praises.

And that definitely does not include Celtics general manager Danny Ainge.

After the game between the Bobcats and the Celtics, Danny Ainge and the Celtics took care of Morrison even more comprehensively, from top to bottom, inside and out, in every aspect.

Historically, although Boss Joe valued Morrison very much, due to the overall standard of the Bobcats team, it was difficult for Boss Joe to protect Morrison in all aspects.

In fact, the Bobcats have no protection for Morrison, and they all rely on Morrison to make adjustments on his own.

Compared with the Bobcats, the Celtics' energy in this area is far superior.

Perhaps Morrison can avoid the cruciate ligament injury caused by excessive physical exertion at the Celtics?

In short, facing the league's number one Chen Xiao, Morrison produced such statistics and performance, who among the Celtics could not see his ability?

If such a treasure really fell down halfway, Anji felt that she would definitely regret it to death.

For a tough guy, the most unbearable thing is that his bargaining chip is suddenly gone.

What does it mean to fall down after trying your best?

I selected you with the No. 1 pick just to see you fall?

You stand up for me forever!

Even if you want to fall, you have to be traded away by Lao Tzu. If you don't fall, it's up to you.

After beating the Celtics away, the Bobcats returned home and beat the Celtics 112-103.

In this game, Adam Morrison, the No. 1 pick who has been quite hot recently, played another very exciting game.

In the game, he made 8 of 17, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 7 of 10 free throws, scoring 26 points (not fabricated, this day's historical data, historically, Morrison beat Pierce with this data).

On the opposite side, Roy was 7 of 13, scored 16 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. By the way, there were 5 fouls.

Why did Roy commit so many fouls in this game?

Because in this game Roy wants to face Morrison more.

Roy's interest in Morrison increased greatly after the match in the last game.

The end result is that Roy is indeed not suitable for defending Morrison.

Morrison has height, strength, good shooting, and comprehensive skills. Roy's defensive effect is not very good, and he has lost a lot of fouls.

It's really unfair to use the height of a shooting guard to play the height of a small forward.

Therefore, from the point of view of public opinion, the direct confrontation between Roy and Morrison this time was once again slightly suppressed.

In fact, for any rookie in the league, it is not shameful to be suppressed by Morrison, who is full of physical fitness.

After all, he has proven himself to be the No. 1 rookie player in both the NCAA and Summer League.

Therefore, Roy is actually very open about the current American public opinion that he is not as good as Morrison.

Morrison didn't jump out of a crack in the rock, he has always been the first among his peers.

What's so sad about losing to the one who has always been number one among his peers? Just keep working hard.

However, for the Bobcats, after consecutive defeats against the Celtics, the Bobcats started the season with ten consecutive victories and became the first NBA team to win 10 consecutive games this season.

For a while, the entire NBA once again set off a discussion about the specific strength of the Bobcats this season.

"Kenny, even if Shaq, Tim, Kobe, Wade, Ray Allen, Nash, Garnett, James, Ron Howard, Iverson and others stand in front of me, I will still say it!

The Charlotte Bobcats are the only team this season!

I'm not afraid of being slapped in the face! "

Then, snap! Snapped! Snapped!

The PS picture of Barkley covering his bruised and swollen right face with his right hand became a source of laughter for the entire Internet...
