Bishop of the Devil

　　 This game, Daben is completely awakened......

　　 Unlike Kobe, Big Ben is almost 23 years old. This age is actually close to the 25-28 years of the golden peak period. It can be said that the physical quality of the current Big Ben is no difference from the peak period!

　　 Previously, there was a gap in the body.

　　 After the awakening, Daben's momentum is no different from Richard's pinnacle of Daben!

　　……

　　 As for Kobe, who was the best performer at the beginning of this game, Richard originally thought that Kobe would also wake up...

　　 But behind Kobe's performance, Richard did feel like thinking too much.

　　In this game, Kobe Bryant scored 6 points in the first two shots, but only scored 9 points in the next ten shots.

　　 But overall, the efficiency of Kobe Bryant in this game is quite good!

　　 Assists, Kobe Bryant got 9 assists in this game, almost double the number of assists!

　　……

　　 The game is not over yet, and the Cavaliers' home team fans have already begun to retire.

　　 They were so disappointed with the Cavaliers' performance this season.

　　Flatello looked ashen, and this game lost so badly...

　　 It was so miserable that the Cavaliers' only shameless cloth could not be covered. They only won two of the first six games. It can be said that the excuse of the player who was just out of the game was not in the state, or the opponent's average strength was too strong.

　　 But after losing to the Trail Blazers, the Eastern Conference bottom record of 2 wins and 5 losses, they find it difficult to use any excuse.

　　 Can't explain to the fans!

　　 The Blazers will return to the locker room with joy.

　　 Old Sabones cleared his throat, clapped his hands to the coaching staff and the players, and reminded himself that he had something to say.

　　 "Today in this game, I found that I am really old, haha!"

　　 "Here, I apply for the position of captain of the team on my body and pass it to Ben Wallace!"

　　 "He is more suitable for the position of captain than me!"

　　 "I believe that if we can play such a momentum in every game, even if the opponent is a bull, we are not afraid!"

　　Richard nodded. He actually had the idea of ​​letting Big Ben serve as the team captain.

　　 But the team captain is the old Sabonis. If the captain of the Sabonis is eliminated, it will undoubtedly have some bad effects in the dressing room if handed over to Big Ben.

　　 But now Sabonis is willing to give the captain position to Big Ben, and I will say two things about it.

　　Say that Sabonis has high consciousness and high sentiment. Players who have received socialist influence are different...

　　 "Ben, then I will give you the position of captain on behalf of the team!"

　　 "I believe you will not let me down!" Richard looked at Big Ben and said solemnly.

　　 "Coach, brothers, thank you for your trust!"

　　 "From now on, I-Wallace vowed to be the strongest barrier on the field and your strongest shield wall!"

　　 "From now on, you have me behind!"

　　'S big face is more solemn, he knows the importance of the team captain's position for a team, especially a young team!

　　……

　　 Speaking of it, in fact, if Sabonis is not the captain, the undoubtedly senior Robinson is the best candidate to replace the captain!

　　 However, Robinson is the kind of extremely Buddhist player...

　　 He was the team's scoring leader last season, and this season he was normally squeezed into the position of the third and fourth, but he did not have any opinions...

　　'S character is undoubtedly not very suitable for being the captain of a team.

　　 The captain represents the mental outlook of the team. It is hard to inspire the player's fighting spirit with indisputable temperament.

　　……

　　In the Cavaliers' locker room, the Blazers set their team captain for the next few years!

　　As well as setting the captain, he actually set the style of this team!

　　 Big Ben's style is the team's style!

　　 Do not attack the strongest team, but must be the strongest defending team!

　　 offensively won the regular season, defensively won the finals!

　　The history of the NBA has proved more than once that a team that has played an excellent off-season winning percentage purely offensively, even if it has reached the finals, can only be reduced to the championship!

　　 There is no doubt that the Portland Trail Blazers are on the right path.

　　……

　　After four consecutive games, Richard led the team back to the Blazers.

　　 Bruce Bowen's contract, Orsh has talked with Bowen, and gave a guarantee contract of USD 1.7 million for three years!

　　 It seems that this contract is pitiful, but considering that Bowen has no status in the draft and has no experience in an NBA game, plus a 25-year-old newcomer, this guarantee contract is actually considered to be rich.

　　 In fact, this is also the face Orch gave Richard. If Richard didn't insist on Bowen, I'm afraid he wouldn't raise his eyelids for players like Bowen...

　　 There are too many players like Bowen. Think about the number of professional basketball players in the world. If you don’t count those college leagues, let’s say the adult professional league. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people...

　　Among these tens of thousands, only four hundred have the chance to enter the NBA, and more than 90% of the remaining people want to drill into the NBA.

　　In Orsh's view, Bowen really has no highlights, even if he played in the MVP level in the French league, in fact, it is not a big deal...

　　 However, this is Richard Fancy, and Orch can only give a relatively generous contract within his own ability!

　　 "Coach, thank you!"

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity!"

　　Bowen first saw Richard, and thanked him with excitement.

　　He still pinches himself from time to time, because he feels he has been dreaming...

　　 was playing in Europe, wondering how he could return to the United States to play. Suddenly, the Trailblazer Assistant made a phone call and said he was willing to provide him with a guarantee contract...

　　 Bowen felt at the time that he had encountered a liar!

　　 But for the NBA's desire, he still tried to contact the pioneer management phone provided by Carlisle.

　　 Then, there is a series of negotiations and signing...

　　 In fact, the negotiations did not exist. Orch was giving a three-year 1.7 million US dollars guarantee contract at the time. Bowen didn’t even think about it, and he agreed without saying anything...

　　 That is a three-year guarantee contract. For players like him, it is definitely a temptation to refuse!

　　Don't say 1.7 million dollars in three years, it is 1 million in three years and 800,000 in three years. Bowen also signed without saying anything!

　　……

　　 Faced with Bowen's gratitude, Richard waved his hand directly.

　　 "No need to thank me, the purpose of giving you this contract is to enhance our team's backcourt defense!"

　　 "This is a win-win business!"

　　 "I don't have too many demands on you. It's enough to do a good job of defense and outside three-pointers!"

　　 "I believe you can do it!"

　　 Richard said to Bowen with a smile.

　　 opened up God's perspective, Richard, naturally knows which player he recruits the most suitable growth path.

　　 And Bowen is undoubtedly the best 3D route to take.

　　 If you change to other coaches, you may need to run in and slowly position the players, but Richard does not need to. He can directly position the players and let the players work hard in this direction!

　　 In fact, none of the players who can score in the NBA are weak.

　　 Even the most marginal player, placed in other professional leagues, may exist every day...

　　But some NBA players just can't play it, and it's not necessarily that they can't find the reason for their career positioning!

For example, Dirk Nowitzki, fortunately, met the mad scientist Nielsen. Otherwise, a brain-dead head coach would give him a traditional inside line. Seeing that his footwork under the basket is not good enough to keep him practicing under the basket. It’s an old driver who has to be scrapped.

　　 Bowen himself is now at the peak of his golden age. He spent several years in Europe, and his defensive strength is quite good.

　　 Some fans think that Bowen’s defense was tuned by Popovich. In fact, this view is wrong, and some impressions flow...

Bowen played the second-best season in career defensive efficiency in the season before going to the Spurs, that is, the 00-01 season. The defensive efficiency value reached 100. It was precisely because of this defensive performance that he attracted Popo. Vicki's attention, won the opportunity to join the Spurs next season.

The small forward player ~www.readwn.com~ played a defensive efficiency value of 100. It is no exaggeration to say that this is eligible to compete in DOPY, and Bowen was also selected for the most with his excellent defense this season. Good defensive second team.

　　If Bowen couldn't defend before, no doubt, Popovich would never ask Bowen.

　　The current Bowen, defensive strength Richard is very clear, not to say the league's top, but also a first-class level.

Under the normal historical trajectory, Bowen played a game for the Heat in 1996. This is nothing to see, but in 1997, he obtained the opportunity to join Green Kai and played a season with the best defensive data in his career. Averaged 1.4 steals in 21 minutes per game...

　　 Of course, steals do not mean good defense, but this season's defensive efficiency value of Bowen 104 is enough to prove that Bowen's defensive strength in the past two years is quite good.

Among all forwards who played more than 50 games in the same year, including power forwards, such as Garnett, Weber, etc., Bowen ranked eighth in steals, not counting power forwards. If only small forwards, Bowen's steals data is Can be ranked in the top five, this is still his playing time is far less than other people...

　　 Defensive efficiency value is even better. Robert Horry is definitely a good defensive role player, but his defensive efficiency value in the same year is only 107, which is not far behind Bowen.

　　 Therefore, Bowen did not defend this argument when he entered the league, fearing that he would not stand firm.

(The last few hundred words are mainly due to Bowen's appearance. Some people said that Bowen was not defended at this time. Explain a little bit. As for why there are defenses that still fail in the NBA draft, there may be too many reasons. Bowen The defense was not good when running for the election, or maybe the performance was not good during the training, which was enough to make him lose the election.)
