Vini, Vidi, Vici: The Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Bulls at Chicago in their first NBA Game!
No, you didn't read it wrong! The Bobcats went to Chicago and played the best game of the first 2 days, going to the Overtime and defeating the Chicago Bulls with a huge game of Corey Maggette!
The game didn't started as usual for the Bulls, with the Bobcats always close on the scorecard, at the end of the 1st quarter we had 25-23 for the Bulls.
Between the 1st and 2nd half, coach Dennis Rodman shouted to his players that if they didn't had won last night, he's going to coach them as a woman in the next game, it didn't worked and the Bulls went to the lockers winning by 53-49.
In the halftime, Dennis Rodman (coach of Bobcats), Michael Jordan (owner), Luc Longley (assistant coach of the Bobcats), Ron Harper (offensive coach) and Scottie Pippen were cheered a lot. After that, Rodman cried in an emotional speech to his team, saying he loved every and each one of them and told them to remember what he, Dennis Rodman, was on the court, one of the best defensive players ever.
The Bobcats came back on fire! Maggette and Walker combined 22 points in the 3rd and the Bobcats scored 35 points in total! In the end of the 3rd quarter the score was: Bobcats 84 - 74 Bulls.
The Bobcats celebrated like they've won the title, Rodman started drinking and making fun of Mugsy Bogues side-by-side with Gheorghe Muresan, but the Bulls woke up and with a clutch shot of Derrick Rose in the last seconds of the game put it to the Overtime. 105-105
In the Overtime, everybody needs a clutch player, and guess who was the Bobcats one? Kemba Walker! He scored 6 points to the Bobcats, who put on 12 pts in the Overtime against 9 of the Bulls. In the end of game? Bobcats 117-114 Bulls, making it 1-0 for the team of Charlotte.
The Best of Bobcats:
B. Biyombo, 8 pts, 7 rebs, 3 blks, 1 stl
C. Maggette 31 pts, 12 rebs, 7 asts
G. Henderson 17 pts, 4 rebs, 6 asts
K. Walker 22 pts, 5 rebs, 4 asts
B. Mullens 15 pts, 6 rebs (5 off)
Coach Dennis Rodman shows that he know this game
Entering the game as a heavy underdog, Charlotte showed that he has something that no other team have: the best motivational coach on the league.
Going to the game with an old Bulls shirt, Rodman was often saying to Biyombo 'Rebound like me your m*therf*cker!'
His great court work has showed that he can be one of the faces in the Bobcats for the next seasons.
Will the Bobcats get his 2nd W when they travel to Philadelphia to face the 76ers?
