Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 391: Preseason start

It can be said that history has proved that this 2ooo year draft can be said to be the least powerful draft in the 80s of the 2o century.

Because of the re-ranking of the draft, Crawford and Reed, who are ranked first and second, are really not enough to watch...

Ke 6 is strong, but in the end, he hasn't even scored an All-Star, but only won the best sixth man three times.

As for the gold left-handed German, there is no good honor on hand. He was selected as an All-Star once and was only a substitute. He was selected for the best team three times in his career.

...

As for the No. 1 pick Martin, he is not as good as Reid. He has not even been selected for the best team in an All-Star bench.

...

In this draft, first, the star's output is low, and second, the star's quality is not high.

So Richard has no interest in this draft at all, just ensuring that McCree is enough...

Right now the Raptors want draft picks, Richard gives them whatever they want, anyway, it's no use keeping them.

The Magic's second-round pick was enough for Richard to pick Reed.

...

Of course, although Richard has already decided to trade with the Raptors, at least the "preservation" is still required...

In the afternoon, Richard received a call from Larry Bird.

Needless to know, it was pleading for Butch Carter.

It was not easy for Richard Carter to facilitate this deal. But if he was not careful, he might lose his coaching position. If the deal is concluded, he can get the friendship of Butcher Carter and so on.

In the 1980s, Larry Bird and Butch Carter were very good teammates.

Otherwise, these two teams will not engage in any py trade a few days ago...

"Okay, Larry, you are my old buddy, then you tell Butch Carter, I agree with their third plan..."

"Thank you, Lee, you are such a nice person. I will thank you for Butch Carter!"

...

That night, at eight o'clock in the evening, the Raptors held a press conference directly.

Announced that the deal with the Blazers was about to happen, and even the content of the deal was burst out...

The reason they did this must have been afraid of Richard's change.

They feel that this deal is really taking advantage of them. A rookie who didn't play a game, and a second-year rookie who averaged 9 points per game last season, exchanged for an All-Star seedling like Wu San Jackson. There are also two draft picks.

How to see it is also earned...

And Richard also feels that he has made a profit. A Wu Sheng exchanged the beast Artest plus McGrady. Even if the two picks are added, it is definitely not a loss.

...

Early the next morning, the Blazers announced the deal with the Raptors.

Such a deal did not cause much disturbance in the alliance.

After all, the Blazers already had Kobe and Rashid leaving the team. Such news is obviously more shocking than this transaction...

In fact, the current teams in the league are also somewhat unclear about the Blazers.

Now that the trailblazers have left after Rashid, Kobe and Bowen, how much of their strength is left? !

Now that he has gone another Wu Sheng Jackson in exchange for two newcomers, what is Richard thinking...

Although Wu Sheng Jackson and McGrady entered nBa in the same year, their weight in the league is not the same thing.

Tracy McGrady has only 9 points in the trash team Raptors, and there are really not many teams that can look at such a player.

This is not the case with Wu Sheng Jackson. He was a bench substitute for the winning Blazers last season, and Kobe's bench substitute!

And the data is much better than McGrady...

As Wu Sheng Jackson left, the Blazers' lineup became unreadable.

What kind of lineup will Richard use in the new season? !

It really makes people look forward to...

...

To say that the Blazers can maintain the strength of last season, no one will believe that even Richard and the Trail Blazers assistants do not believe very much.

Even if this season's lineup is supplemented, the players who can get it are certainly not as good as Rashid, Kobe and Bowen.

After all, most of them are new melon eggs, the only experienced Tracy McGrady, playing for two years, less than ten games...

...

Sitting in his office, looking at the roster of the new season lineup.

Richard was completely relieved!

In the next two years, the Blazers' lineup will be completely fixed, and there will not be too many changes...

The only one that has changed is McGrady.

He finishes the next season and the rookie contract is over. He may leave the team by then.

Of course, it may stay...

As for other people, they will have contracts with the Blazers in the next two years, so don’t worry about renewal.

And two years later, it was only the contract between Robinson and Old Curry that was to be renewed. The contracts of Nowitzki, Harrington, Lewis, and Mobley were all signed for four years, and they can continue for another year. ...

In the next three years, the Blazers' lineup will stabilize.

This is enough to let Richard breathe a sigh of relief, at least in the next few years no longer have to worry about the problem of player renewal.

...

In the Summer League, Richard didn't let the players on the team's roster this time, but just let Zhang Weiping recruit some players to play with.

This summer league can't train people, but has the risk of injury. The Blazers don't need to participate in such a game.

If you really want to train newcomers, then nothing is more suitable than the preseason and regular season...

Last season, Richard led his team to a victory record!

From the regular season to the finals, I have never lost a game, such a record is absolutely impossible for someone to pass.

So this season, Richard can give rookie players more playing time,

Both Daben and Xiaoao are veterans on the team, and their top salary contracts have already won their hands. There is no need to let them fight hard in the regular season. They will take a few games off every other day to give the newcomers some playing time. .

...

In early October, the nBa preseason officially started.

There were only twelve people in the original Blazers list, and they were dissatisfied with the rigid requirements of 13 people. However, Zhang Weiping didn't know where to get a summer league player, and he counted up.

This season, the Blazers have only 13 players in the game, at least Richard has no plans to continue to recruit.

People are absolutely enough, no matter how many, they are useless...

...

Rose Garden Arena.

The Trail Blazers' preseason game was at their home court, and what the Trail Blazers fans did not expect was that the game did not appear to be on the scene...

In the Blazers can be called a veteran, only Big Ben, Little O'Brien, Robinson and old Curry four.

As a result, none of these four people appeared on the scene today...

As for Zhang Weiping's rushing players, he has long since been delegated to the league. Anyway, a team can only activate a 12-man roster. There is really no place.

...

The game is about to start, Richard called the eight players present today to his side.

"Now I announce the list of appearances, Andrei Kirilenko, driver, Artest, Ginobili and Tracy!"

"Al, Rashad, Old Cat, three of you are substitutes!"

...

The five people who were put on the list nodded one after another.

Especially Artest, happily in his heart, there are still acquaintances to handle things, he just got into the position as soon as he came...

Tracy McGrady was even more delighted because he had a problem.

After Wu Sheng is gone, there is only one organizer in the entire Trail Blazers team. He has a great possibility to take the Blazers' point guard position in the next season!

Richard chatted with McGrady once when he joined the team and pointed out that the new season will make him the team point guard...

...

The lingering mad dog, this prop, Richard has long been bound to Ginobili.

Mobley can also be used, but because this thing can only change the binding player once a season, Richard thought about it, and finally gave Ginobili to use.

...

In this preseason game, the Blazers' opponent is the Chicago Bulls.

Right now the Bulls are actually the Blazers' brothers team, because both their coaches and the big players in the team have a huge relationship with the Blazers.

After the debut, the two sides hugged each other.

Especially Rashid, the Trail Blazers players are quite familiar, and now the new season is to open up the Trail Blazers, so that he can sigh.

"Coach, I feel our game is hanging..." Stevens said bitterly.

"Just hang it, preseason only, let the boys practice first..." Richard said with a smile.

...

"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game.

The two sides began to debut.

"Kill them! If the Trail Blazers lose three, and we still lose the game, you should know how my Lambier will deal with you!"

"Be careful with me!"

Before coming to the stage, Lambier "threatened" the Bulls' lineup again.

Actually speaking, the Bulls' lineup this season is quite awesome!

Even in Richard's view, this bull has the strength to rush out of the east, but only if they can produce a good chemical reaction and can run together, otherwise, the lineup is no good.

The center is naturally the new champion Elton Brand, and the two forwards are Rashid and Kukoc.

The two men are no big power forwards and small forwards, both count as dual power forwards.

The backcourt was Kidels and Randy Brown.

The point guard Kidders is certainly quite good, that is, the experience is not as good as Ron Hubble, otherwise, the Lakers really can't trade Kidles for Harper.

As for Randy Brown, it is the short board of the Bulls lineup, the strength is somewhat weak.

But this is also harmless, because the Bulls have always been organized not on the guard, but on the forward.

Pippen is gone and Kukoc comes to play the role of an organization striker.

...

At the start of the game, thin bamboo pole Kirilenko and Rashid stood on the midfield line, preparing to execute the jump ball.

"Boy, I heard that you are going to take my place?" Rashid looked at Kirilenko and asked with a smile.

Kirilenko nodded.

"I feel that Richard is looking away this time, and I really can't see that you have the strength to replace me. Boy, this game can be played well, don't embarrass Richard!"

Kirilenko didn't speak, and Rashid's tone was obviously mocking himself. It would be useless to say more than to prove himself with strength.

...

The referee blew his whistle, the basketball in his hand was thrown high, and Rashid jumped up to get the ball directly for the Bulls.

After Randy Brown took control of the ball to the frontcourt, he directly passed it to Kukoch, who then easily lifted the ball to Brand under the basket.

Kirilenko will naturally play the center position in this game, and will never let Nowitzki go to the center...

As a result, he faced the sturdy insider Brand and was easily opened by Brand, who directly dunked the opening game!

...

Richard sat down at the court, shaking his head and smiling.

Kirilenko is really too thin, really stubborn...

Kililenko can still play a big role in the face of a technical center like Schmitz and not so powerful, but in the face of Brand's sturdy flesh shield inside? !

He really can't carry it...

Kirilenko is a flexible defender himself, he is not very good at fighting one-on-one with the opponent's inside players.

At this point, Kirilenko's defensive style is somewhat similar to Marcus Camby.

...

Brand, who was directly opposed in the opening, had a dunk, and Kirilenko looked red.

Looking at Richard on the sidelines, Richard's face was expressionless now, which made Kirilenko worried.

He knew that Richard paid great attention to himself, otherwise, he would not go to Moscow specifically to recruit himself...

Can you really meet Richard's requirements? !

He also knows the situation of nBa. Knowing Portland's strength last season, he asked himself his strength and put it in this trailblazer. It is not outstanding at all...

He is now afraid of Richard giving up because of his performance!

...

The ball transfer ~www.readwn.com~ is the Blazers' offensive round.

Richard immediately got up, and what he wanted to see was the offensive performance...

As for the defensive end? ! Big Ben and O'Brien and Robinson were on the field, and all problems could be solved.

McGrady took control of the ball to the frontcourt and just arrived near the three-point line.

"Duang!" The three-pointer hit the basket's neck, leaping away from the field, and eventually the rebound was snatched by Rashid.

The Bulls took the opportunity to hit another counterattack, with Brand under the basket carrying Kirilenko's defense and successfully made a two-pointer.

...

In the next few offensive rounds, what made Richard a little unhappy was that McGrady took possession of the ball and went straight to the frontcourt.

The posture is not beautiful, but the hit rate is too ugly...

Four attempts, only one goal was hit, and it was not a three-pointer, just a long two-pointer.

"Buddu!" While taking the dead ball stage, Richard called for a timeout.

"Old cat, ready to debut!" Richard said, pointing at the old cat.

"Coach, am I playing point guard?" the old cat asked curiously...

"No, you play the point guard position you are good at, and let Manu play the point guard!" Richard said, shaking his head.

McGrady looked a little ugly, Richard was obviously preparing to put him on the bench...

...

The timeout is over and the game on the court continues.

Ginobili is still stable. The outside ball is used to exchange Nowitzki to make a pick-and-roll for himself, and then the ball is used to make a breakthrough. After encountering Rashid's defense halfway, the ball is quickly divided to the old cat waiting for the outside, Mob. in.

Mobley took off his sword and made a three-point shot, soaring!
