After the game started, the domestic fans wailed and scolded Dunlap's entire family. The reason was simple. Han Zhe and Gordon, who had played well in the last game, were pressed onto the bench again.
For the domestic fans, who would come to watch a weak team like the Bobcats? They were all here for Han Zhe's name. Now that Han Zhe was not playing, what were they going to watch?
Han Zhe and Gordon didn't have much of a reaction. Their expressions were very relaxed because they already knew about this result. Dunlap had asked him to rotate with Gordon, and Han Zhe knew that it was because of his stamina.
Although he could recover his stamina by blocking shots, it was not easy to block shots. Few weaklings could play in the NBA. Secondly, he could not shout to his coach," I have the Golden Finger to recover my stamina and play the entire game."
As for Gordon, he was a bit of a psychopath now. When he was hot, he was definitely a first-tier star player. When he was a rookie, he was not even as good as an average role player. Moreover, Gordon's stamina was not very good, not much better than Han Zhe's.
After the kick-off, Han Zhe and Gordon started chatting." Ge Tie, why do you think our team is suppressed by every team we play? The Mavericks aren't that strong either!”
Gordon's face darkened."Don't call me Ge Tie," he said angrily."Back in the day, my three-point shooting percentage was among the best in the league. Moreover, my shooting percentage in yesterday's game was over 70%.”
Han Zhe pronounced the word " Ge Tie " in Chinese, but he had already explained to Gordon what it meant. It meant that Gordon liked to shoot and hit iron.
"There's a saying in our country that a wise man doesn't talk about his past. It means that you weren't so awesome in the past. It depends on how you look now. Look at your big belly. It's time to retire!”Han Zhe mocked mercilessly.
Gordon didn't reply. He brought up Han Zhe's previous question." The Mavericks 'lineup isn't good, but look at what our team is made of. Any team in the league is better than us. This season is probably going to be miserable again!”
Han Zhe also sighed in his heart. Indeed, their lineup was too poor. They had to call everyone their father. How unlucky.
At the end of the first quarter, Han Zhe raised his eyebrows and said," Gordon, we don't even know if we can play today.”
Gordon also held his forehead and said helplessly,"Yes, it's already broken!"”
The first quarter hadn't even finished yet, and they were already 12 points behind the Mavericks. What was the point of playing? If they continued playing, it would be garbage time. It didn't matter if they played or not.
Although the score was exaggerated, this was actually the true level of the Bobcats. Yesterday, they had a reason to fight, and they played exceptionally well. Although everyone was working harder today, they could not compare to yesterday's state. If the Bobcats played against the Pacers today, they would probably be beaten like dogs.
Dunlap and the coaching staff stood on the sidelines and looked at each other. It was not a problem with the new tactics, but that everyone was not as desperate today. There were not many steals, fewer rebounding, and the shooting percentage was not stable. This result was not surprising.
Another important reason was that they had been fighting desperately yesterday and had exhausted too much of their physical strength. Their hands and feet were already weak, and they could not take it anymore after playing back-to-back games today.
The audience watching the live broadcast started chatting.
"Are you kidding me? The Bobcats are too weak.”
"Hurry up and go to Superstar Media to save the tide!”
"I wish I wouldn't go up. I'm just looking for trouble. No matter how fierce Han Zhe is, he can't fight five at once. The Bobcats players are obviously not in their best condition today.”
"The result is the same in terms of condition. At most, the difference in points is a little smaller.”
"Han Zhe, change teams. Such a weak team is a big pit!”
"What do you know? This is the kind of weak team that's good. Do you think Han Zhe has many chances to play on a big name team?”
"The previous poster is right. A good team has top players in every position and will not change easily. It is difficult for a newcomer like Han Zhe to get playing time. In the early stages, it is better to be on such a bad team. There is room to play and you can go anywhere after you become famous.”
"I've learned my lesson. I'm much more pleasing to the eye now."
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 19-30, and the Bobcats were trailing by 11 points.
During the break, Dunlap only criticized the two players who made low-level mistakes and did not say much. It was normal for everyone to be physically exhausted after fighting so hard yesterday. Moreover, his situation was much better after winning the game yesterday. He was not under much pressure now. Losing a game did not matter, so he was naturally not in a hurry.
He thought he would only be able to play in the third or fourth quarter to satisfy his craving, but Dunlap replaced him and Gordon as soon as the second quarter started.
Dunlap's original words to Han Zhe were," It's not easy to win this game, but we can't just admit defeat. Mayo Clinic is very brave today. Your defense is the best on the team. Later, you can restrict him and see if it's possible to recover the score. Don't force yourself, and don't fight too hard to avoid injuries. We can't afford to be tortured by injuries now."”
Han Zhe understood what Dunlap meant. He wanted Han Zhe to restrain Mayo, the Mavericks 'best point guard today, to see if the game would turn around. After all, they had just finished the first quarter and there was still a lot of time to catch up.
Of course, Dunlap also told Han Zhe not to fight too hard to avoid injuries. Han Zhe's role could be seen now. If Han Zhe was injured again, Lynx could not bear such a loss.
After Han Zhe went on stage, he naturally ran to Mayo to match up. Big Beard Mayo glanced at Han Zhe and asked curiously," You're the rookie with two of the five best goals?"”
Han Zhe nodded. He knew that it was not because he was famous, but because the other party must have studied their team. The video of yesterday's game was undoubtedly the best reference.
Han Zhe stole the spotlight yesterday, so they definitely had to study him.
Han Zhe received the pass and dribbled while muttering, Are you here to teach a rookie like me a lesson?”
Mayo was stunned." I'm not that bored. I'm just curious why you look so strong in this second round. Coach also specially asked me to pay attention to you. Come and let me see your strength!”
"Alright." Han Zhe replied cutely. He suddenly lowered his center of gravity and changed his dribbling frequency. After a series of dazzling fast dribbles, the Eye of the Heavenly Emperor noticed that Mayo's center of gravity had shifted. In a flash, he broke through the side of Mayo, who was stunned, and went under the basket. He easily got on the basketball and scored.
"My strength is not bad, Big Beard?”Han Zhe winked at Mayo Clinic as he ran back.
Mayo was speechless. This ball was embarrassing!
"Don't be arrogant. If you have the ability, come and defend against my ball.”After Mayo said that, he quickly pushed the ball across the court to Han Zhe.
The ball just now was actually quite shocking to Mayo. The terrifying sense of the ball, the fake movement, and the extremely fast acceleration. Just by looking at this ball, he knew that it was difficult for him to defend against Han Zhe.
However, Mayo felt that even if he could not defend against Han Zhe, he did not think that he could defend against himself. At most, they could just attack each other one by one. Everyone's success rate was high. Moreover, his teammates were more reliable than Han Zhe. They should be able to win this match easily.
However, he had to take Han Zhe on first to show him that his reputation as a senior was not for nothing!
