NBA Tyrant

On Nov. 4, in a pre-game interview with Okafor, a reporter asked what he thought of Howard's stunning debut.

Okafor was ashamed to say that Howard was facing a fish belly team, and he could get that kind of data, just because the opponent was too weak, and he would get Howard's performance in his debut tonight, the best rookie in the 04 class definitely belongs to him, please wait and see.

This word spread to the Wizards, in the locker room of the Wizards, everyone was angry at Okafor's contempt, Jamison took the lead in saying that he would focus on Okafor in the game, and the others seconded it, and they were secretly thinking about how to teach Okafor a good lesson in the game, so that he knew that there was a price to pay for underestimating others.

As for the Bucks in Milwaukee, the players also hated Okafor when they said that they were a weak team, and Reed even thought that when they faced the Bobcats in the future, they would repair Okafor.

Okafor probably couldn't imagine that his words directly offended the people of the two teams.

In the evening, Howard sat on the couch and watched the upcoming game of the Wizards vs. Bobcats, and Howard wanted to see how Okafor could do what he said.

The Wizards players felt cold in the first quarter, only 7 of 25 shots, and the shooting rate could not even reach 30%, and the star Antoine Jamison was 1 of 5 to get 4 points and 2 rebounds, and Larry Hughes was 1 of 6, and only scored 4 points and 3 assists.

is still the strongest second-round pick Arenas, 2-of-4, 1-of-3 three-pointers, 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

On the Bobcats' side, they felt good, 10 of 21, the team's shooting rate was as high as 47.6%, and Okafor was 2 of 5, with 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and his performance was average.

The Bobcats played the best game, center Blazek, 4-of-4, with 10 points and 4 rebounds, and his hand was hot in the first quarter, leading the team to lead the Wizards in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards 22:23 Bobcats.

In the second quarter, the Wizards warmed up, 12 of 21, with a shooting rate of 57.1%, Jamison was 3 of 6 and scored 6 points, Arenas was 2 of 2, 1 of 1 from three-point range, and got 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and the two led the team to overtake the score at halftime.

The Bobcats felt a little less in the second quarter, Okafor was defended and didn't even have a chance to shoot, relying on free throws to score 4 points plus 2 rebounds, and Gerard Wallace made 2 of 5 for 4 points and 1 assist.

At halftime, the Wizards led by four points at 49:45 Bobcats.

In the third quarter, the storm suddenly changed, and the Bobcats began to fight back, shooting 11 of 20, 55% of the shots, of which Okafor and Gerard Wallace began to exert power, Okafor was 2 of 2 and got 7 points and 3 rebounds, and Gerard Wallace was 2 of 4, with 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

On the Wizards' side, 9-of-20, 45% shooting, Jamison was 4-of-6 with 9 points and 1 rebound, and Arenas was sluggish, with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 2-of-6.

At the end of the third quarter, the Wizards 74-75 the Bobcats, but fell behind by one point.

In the final quarter, Juan Dixon of the Wizards stepped up, making 4 of 5 in the single quarter, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and slashing 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, laying the foundation for the victory of the game.

The Bobcats had a mediocre performance, and although Eddie House tried hard to chase the points, they still lost in the end, and Okafor was the focus of attention, and there was no bright performance in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Wizards 103-96 Bobcats won two consecutive games of the season.

Okafor was 5-of-9 from the field and 9-of-10 from the free-throw line, with a double-double of 19 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

For a rookie, this statistic is actually very good, and it is in line with the identity of Okafor's list, but compared to the first game of champion Howard, it is completely inadequate.

Who is better or worse, who is more suitable to be the champion, as long as you are not blind, anyone can see it.

In the post-game press conference, when Okafor was asked by reporters if he still felt like he was the rookie of the year because he couldn't match Howard's debut performance.

Okafor stubbornly said that both of them only played one game, and it is far from saying anything, the evaluation of the best rookie is selected according to the performance of the entire rookie season, Howard's debut is amazing, it does not mean that he can still play his debut performance in the following games.

The competition for the best rookie has just begun, and he is still one of the strong contenders, so you can wait and see.

In the second game, the Timberwolves 92:94 Nuggets.

From the beginning to the end of extra time, the game was intractable for both sides.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the two sides fought to a tie of 88, and the Nuggets had one last chance to attack, which was executed by Anthony, but unfortunately, Anthony, who had been iron for a whole game, did not bring a miracle to kill the Timberwolves.

In overtime, Anthony still felt cold, 0 of 2, 0 points and 1 rebound, but fortunately, the new Kenyon Martin was powerful in overtime, 2 of 2, scored 4 points, and with 2 points obtained by Boigins, he finally defeated the Timberwolves who were only 1 of 3 in overtime 6:4.

Throughout the game, Anthony seemed to be eager to prove himself in the game, crazy singles and shots, played 46 minutes, 5-of-25, 1-of-5 three-pointers, and shot as low as 20%, becoming a veritable blacksmith, with 19 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists.

In the post-game press conference, when asked why there were so many forced shots, Anthony simply replied that his debut was no worse than James, and that he would beat James before rookie Howard banned James.

Anthony's statement immediately made everyone understand the reason, it turned out that Anthony was unhappy because the NBA official excluded him from Howard's debut comparison, and wanted to prove that he was no worse than anyone else.

After Howard knew the reason, he couldn't laugh or cry, just because of an inconsequential comparison, he kept shooting willfully, hitting the iron like crazy, and almost gave the victory to others, if it weren't for Kenyon Martin and Miller to play steadily and kill the game in overtime, I'm afraid Anthony would have become the sinner of this game.

In the last game, the Heat 92:86

Cavaliers Heat ushered in two consecutive wins of the season at home, and sent the Cavaliers two consecutive defeats.

Emperor James Jr. and Flash Wade, both of whom were also drafted in the class of 2003 and the face of the golden generation, were more or less influenced by the official report on Howard.

James played 43 minutes, 9-of-22, 2-of-3 three-pointers, 21 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

Wade played 41 minutes, 10-of-20, scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and repeatedly hit the Cavaliers' interior to make kills, allowing the Cavaliers center to foul 4, and Cavaliers guard McGinnis, who was opposite him, received 5 fouls and made 8 of 10 free throws.

The Cavaliers have been pressed throughout the game, never leading, and at the post-game press conference, James showed a rare unhappy expression on his face, and he only said a few words about the questions asked by reporters.

On the other hand, the Heat team is very festive because of two consecutive wins, Wade said that he will continue to lead the team to victory, saying that the debut does not mean anything, and the achievements in the NBA are not a theory, only by winning the game, the data is meaningful, and it is obviously a sour someone's amazing debut.

O'Neal affirmed Wade's status as the boss of the team, saying that he was here to assist Wade, and finally did not forget to satirize Kobe Bryant and the Lakers who lost yesterday.

When asked what he thinks of rookie No. 1 Howard, O'Neal said that he is still the No. 1 center, and Orlando's little boy should wait for his record in the Magic team to compare with him!

"Coach, I won't beat around the bush, and I'll tell you bluntly, we Da Yao hope to have more balls in the team, and become the absolute core of the team like Howard of the Magic team, so that Da Yao can play the performance that Da Yao should have, and let the fans know that Da Yao is also an excellent champion.

Zhang Mingji was the first to break the silence and began to fight for Da Yao's status in the team.

"Yao, I understand that if you want to show a better version of yourself, you also need more shots and tactical positions, and the team is now planning to build a squad with you as the core, otherwise the management will not trade Francis who has the ball possession.

Head coach Van Gundy frowned and explained to Da Yao and the two in a friendly manner.

"But you know, Maddie just came to the team, it takes time and run-in to integrate into our big family, for the time being, give Maddie time to adapt first, I think he will play his due strength, after all, he is the league's four quarterbacks, when he integrates into our team, I think you and his partner will never be worse than the former 'OK' combination! Let's be patient, okay?"

Van Gundy tried his best to appease Da Yao, but he was very dissatisfied with the general manager and the boss.

At the beginning, Maddie was traded here in order to create a remake of the OK combination, so that Maddie could assist Da Yao.

But now, he is thinking about using Maddie's coquettish style of play and fame to attract more fans and let the team get more benefits.

But the management doesn't want to make Da Yao unhappy, after all, Da Yao is the cash cow of the Rockets' Huaguo market, which leads to the fact that there is no conclusion on who is the boss of the team now.

"Head coach, I don't care if Maddie can integrate into the team, I just want to know if the team can build a tactical style of play with me

as the core?" Da Yao looked at head coach Van Gundy calmly, if the team does not regard himself as the absolute core, Da Yao has considered leaving the Rockets after the rookie contract expires.

"Of course, Yao, you know, I've always been a staunch supporter of you as the core, you should know, to be honest, it's not that I don't arrange more tactics for you, it's that the owner and the general manager want to bring more benefits to the team through Maddie......!

"I see!" Da Yao got some answers, and got up and left directly.

It is estimated that Howard could not have imagined that because of his NBA debut, he would affect so many people and games.
