Bishop of the Devil

The situation on the east side is somewhat dumbfounded.

The 76ers, Green Kai and the Bulls all completed the sweeping feat and came close to the second round of the playoffs.

On May 5, 2001, the Western Conference semifinals finally opened.

In the end, the King was still very good. He defeated the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs and successfully advanced to the second round of the playoffs!

However, their next opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers of the Kings. If they want to continue to advance, there is basically no possibility.

Under the leadership of Adelman, this king really has a general change.

Throughout the NBA, Richard Adelman and Popovich are all highly respected by Richard.

In terms of starlight, the Kings are more bleak than other teams.

The biggest star in their team is just Chris Webber.

But in addition to Weber, they also have powerful players such as Peja, Bai Qiao, Divac, Turkoglu, Bobby Jackson, etc...

With such a lineup, it's no wonder that they can break into the first half of the Western Conference and eliminate the Western Jazz.

...

"Old man, congratulations, joining the Kings for a season, actually made such a terrible lineup!" Richard laughed and chatted with Adelman before the game.

Adelman smiled bitterly, horror? Are you Richard saying that other teams are scary...

Three kings are not as terrible as a trailblazer!

To know that the King's biggest player is only Weber, Weber seems to be really nothing in the Trail Blazers.

Xiao Ao is the league's true second center. Big Ben is also the top three power forward in the league. Except for Duncan, there is really no other power forward who is qualified to stabilize the big head.

Nowitzki is now the league's top firepower output...

Ginobili and Byron Davis in the backcourt are now qualified to rank among the top ten point guards in the league.

There are not many high-quality point guards in the league right now...

Even Lao Guan is actually quite inconspicuous now. When it comes to statistics, they are not as good as Ginobili and Byron Davis.

In terms of record, it can’t be compared...

"Lee, don't say such a thing. On the horror of the lineup, our king is a few and you are no match for your pioneers..." Adelman said with a wry smile.

"By the way, I heard you are going to the east after this season?"

Richard stunned, this news spread so fast? Even Adelman knew.

Richard must not be able to disclose this news right now. If anyone is aware of it, he may not let the players under his mind think.

Wait until you win the championship, and then release the news, then it will be the best time to disclose the news.

But since Adelman knew it, Richard did not hide it.

"Yes, old man, we may have fewer opportunities to meet in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Adelman was speechless and made himself seem to want to meet you.

Lose the ball as soon as you meet, the ghost is willing to meet you Richard every day.

...

"I wish you a new rise in the east. I believe that with your ability, you may lead the team to the finals in the first season!" Adelman said with a smile.

Richard smiled and waved his hand, what Adelman said was completely impossible.

I joined a fish-meat team, and even Richard had the urge to slap it...

It happened to be bad in the 01-02 season, and then got the lottery draw, using the lucky dice when drawing the lottery, getting the top pick to pick Yao Ming...

And even if it is not bad, in Richard's next choice, even if there are stars in the team, it is estimated that Richard will sell it in exchange for better quality chips.

In this way, not to mention the finals, it is good to make the playoffs.

...

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

Although the King's strength is good, the players in each position are weaker than the Blazers, or even more than one.

In this case, Richard did not care much about the situation on the field.

The king can't turn over the waves...

In this game Richard's inside combination is the two Austrian and Nowitzki, Nowitzki is still playing space power forward.

Mainly the king's inside, not particularly powerful, only one Chris Webb.

Xiao Ao can say hello by himself, it is better to let Big Ben take a good rest...

After playing the Kings, whether it is against the Spurs or the Lakers, Big Ben will have to spend a lot of time!

Now let Big Ben take a good rest and strive to play against the Spurs or the Lakers in a better state.

...

Although the Trail Blazers did not let Big Ben play, but the Blazers still firmly occupy the advantage on the field.

Tonight in this game, Richard's starting lineup is the Austrian, driver, Artest, Reed and Byron Davis.

O'Brien has no disadvantages against Weber, even because of the tough defense, he can also limit Webber's effectiveness.

As for the driver, the current level of offense is quite unsolvable.

Artest is the main output point of Peja, who is dedicated to guarding against the king.

Byron Davis played against Bai Qiao, it was really a crushing advantage...

Bai Qiao, such a bells and whistles player, responds with a heavy sword and a beard without a sword.

The bearded man himself is a player with the best stealing ability. He has won the honor of the stealing king twice in his career.

In addition, Bai Qiao likes bells and whistles. As a result, the beard brushed a lot of steals.

The strength of these two teams is obviously not a level.

According to this situation, the king can hardly avoid being swept away.

However, in the third quarter, the Blazers were abrupt, and the fans at the scene were all sweaty!

When Xiao Ou competed with Weber for a rebound at the basket, he stepped on Weber's instep and directly hit his ankle!

Pained on the ground, covering his ankle, his forehead full of cold sweat!

It looks like the injury is not light!

If the ankle is injured, there is a big possibility that it is a serious injury, and it may even be a serious injury that affects your career.

The entire Rose Garden Arena took a breath of air, and what happened to them most happened!

Fans are well aware that even those experts have said that the Trail Blazers can beat them now, only themselves!

The meaning is obvious, unless the Blazers themselves have problems, then other teams are obviously not opponents of this Blazers.

The health of the Blazers has always been pretty good.

At least in the five years that Richard has coached the Blazers, the Blazers players have never experienced major injuries.

Now that Aowei reached his ankle, everyone could not help worrying.

What's the situation with Xiaoao? Will it affect the next game of the Western Finals!

...

The level of the king is not a problem for the Blazers. Even if Xiaoao can't play, the Blazers still have a big book. After all, killing the king is not a problem.

Can we wait until the final decision? !

Whether the opponent is the Spurs or the Lakers, can a big instinct handle it? !

Obviously it is difficult to cope with it, can the Blazers defend their titles?

In the Rose Garden Arena, everyone held their breath and prayed for Xiaoao...

They hope that Xiao's ankle will be okay, only a minor injury, and he can fully recover after a game!

In that case, by the time of the Western Conference, Xiao Ao was again a good guy, guarding the Blazers' restricted area with the two.

...

Richard on the sidelines frowned.

He didn't expect that Xiao Ao was injured at this critical moment, and he was about to decide when he saw it. It was not the right time for Xiao Ao to be injured.

But he didn't worry much...

Mainly, Xiaoao still has a middle-level injury scroll on hand, which can make Xiaoao recover as always!

But this scroll is very precious. If it's used like this, if Xiao O encounters another injury in the future, it will be worse...

According to Richard's idea, this injury scroll is prepared for Xiaoao's future.

Even if Xiao Ao does not play under Richard's hand, this reel Richard can also be used for Xiao Ao...

This can extend Xiao Ou's career life!

And there is a chance to clean up Xiaoao's old disease!

But the current injury completely disrupted Richard's plan...

If Xiaoao is seriously injured, this reel must be used as soon as possible!

If you don’t need it, Richard doesn’t really have the confidence to pass the Western Judgment...

To be precise, there is no confidence to easily pass this decision.

Even if he could get past the Lakers or Spurs, Richard felt that no six games would not solve the problem.

Even a tiebreaker is not impossible.

Once the tie-break is made, the suspense will be great, and if the opponents collectively break out, the Blazers will be quite passive.

Therefore, once Xiao Ao's injury affects the start of the Western Conference, Richard will definitely use his exclusive injury reel without hesitation!

...

"I hope the injury is not serious, it would be good if it did not affect the Western Judgment!" Richard said in his heart.

...

Paul Allen, sitting on the bench of the Blazers, was dumbfounded.

He really hoped that the core players in the Trail Blazers would get some minor injuries, preferably the kind of minor injury that broke out just before the Western Conference, so that his Western Conference could not play...

It's better to have a minor injury to either Big Ben or Xiaoao. In this way, the Blazers may really be killed by the Lakers!

In this way, the dynasty is gone...

But Richard can stay...

Paul Allen felt it was more cost-effective to leave Richard.

At the moment, Xiao Ao was injured suddenly, and it was exactly as he had hoped. Paul Allen was not only uncomfortable, but rather a little happy.

Of course, the premise of his joy is that Xiao Ao's injury is not serious...

If Xiao Ou can't participate in the Western Conference and the Lakers play well to kill the Trail Blazers, Richard must stay with the Trail Blazers for at least another three years!

For three years, if Richard can build a dynasty, it must be beautiful for Paul Allen.

In this way, the Blazers counted as the ancient championship, with six championship trophies, directly tied the Bulls.

Ranked third in the league with the Bulls!

What a glory!

And if Richard cannot build a dynasty in the next three years, if he keeps his promise, he will have to stay with the Blazers...

Even if an average of only three championships can be won in three years, Richard is so young, it is no problem to have him in the coaching position for thirty or forty years, and can bring more than ten championships to the Blazers!

It's so beautiful...

...

However, Paul Allen felt that his thoughts were indeed too evil.

It's really evil enough to even hope that your player is injured, even if you only want to get a little injury...

...

The Trail Blazers medical team has been on the field, and the Trail Blazers substitute players have helped Xiao Ao back to the locker room to check the injury.

Richard replaced Kirilenko on the field.

"AK, play hard. I will use you as the core of this series!"

"You don't need to do too much, it's enough to defend Chris Webber..."

Richard patted Kirilenko's shoulder and said.

Right now Richard is still not ready for the big book...

Because it is completely unnecessary!

Even if there is no Auburn combination, the Trail Blazers are not comparable in strength to the Kings.

Now switching to Kirilenko, although it will make Weber easier to score, the King's outside lineup is still suppressed by the Blazers.

If this fails to win the king, Richard simply goes home and sells sweet potatoes.

...

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

The Blazers won 11 points at home and made Adelman sigh.

Tonight in this game, the Blazers did not put the big-payer this top-paid player, Xiao Ou's top salary is only played half.

In this case, their king was even beaten by the Blazers in double-digit points.

It's really desperate...

Adelman sighed. The lineup of the Trail Blazers made the old coach desperate.

There is really no solution, and Adelman does not know **** this lineup of unsolved pioneers.

Tonight in this game, the best player is undoubtedly the Blazers' No. 1 Byron Davis.

Facing Bai Qiao's situation, Bearded played a terrifying advantage.

This game scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 7 steals of luxury data, almost completely defeated the king's backcourt with his own!

If it wasn't for the rebounds, then the Beard could play a quasi-four-double horror stat tonight.

With such data, it is no wonder that Adelman is desperate...

Facing the number one position like Bai Qiao, the beard almost has no solution.

On the offensive tank crushing, Bai Qiao took a big beard is a little bit of no way.

The powerful stealing ability on the defensive end completely restrains Bai Qiao...

Nowitzki contributed a steady 27 points tonight, including 4 of 8 3-pointers and 50% of his 3-pointers.

He has become the top anti-aircraft shooter in the league.

The only player who can match Nowitzki is probably the Philadelphia 76ers' big cheat right now.

However, Dazhi has been slowly overtaken by Nowitzki...

Maybe next season, Nowitzki will become the league's strongest artillery shooter!

...

Although Artest said the data is unremarkable, but the role of the defensive end is completely inestimable, it is a big version of the outside version.

Under his defense, Peja, the king's anti-aircraft shooter, was a bit miserable tonight. He shot 19 times and only earned 17 points.

As for Reed, in fact speaking, it is a strong attack and a weak player, but they have a good professional attitude, and they are quite desperate on the defensive end.

Even if not in the Trail Blazers, joining the Bucks according to his normal trajectory, in fact his defensive enthusiasm is quite high.

Tonight, I got 13 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

A rookie with a low pick can play such a stat in the Western Conference semifinals in the rookie season. Who can demand more?

Even the Blazers fans who are used to the big scene are quite satisfied with Reed's performance at the moment.

...

Kirilenko played 26 minutes tonight, with 8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals. His performance was also remarkable.

Not particularly outstanding, but winning in all-around, defensive performance is also quite good.

...

All in all, even if the Trail Blazers are without the top-paid players in the big team and the small Olympics, their strength can not be underestimated.

At least killing a team like the Kings, there is no big problem.

...

Just after the game, Richard led the players back to the locker room, preparing to see Xiao O's injury.

If it is only a week of cultivation, it is not a big problem and will not affect the start of the Western Conference.

...

"What's the situation?" Richard asked worriedly.

"The injury is not too serious, but at least you have to recuperate for a month!" the team doctor said with a wry smile.

A month of injury is really not too serious...

Considering the time of injury, it is a bit serious.

After a month, the finals are almost over, and it will be meaningless for Xiao O to come back.

Richard nodded bitterly, it seems that this middle-level injury scroll is not necessary.

"You all go out. I will talk to Jermaine alone." Richard waved his hands and let everyone go out first.

After everyone left, Xiao Ao's eyes were flushed. He felt too sorry for Richard and sorry for the Trailblazers!

It is very likely that the chain will be lost at this critical moment!

If the Blazers are unable to defend their title this season, then Xiao Ou will not forgive himself in this life, which may become a permanent scar in his heart.

"Sorry, coach..."

"Or will I show up, I think I should still play some role on the field!" Xiao Ao said firmly to Richard.

Although an ankle injury is equivalent to a missing leg, Xiao O feels that even if he limps on the field, he can play some role in the inside.

"Jermaine, there is nothing sorry!"

"Besides, your injury is not as serious as the team doctor said. Trust me, you will be fully recovered tomorrow!"

Richard patted Xiaoao's shoulder and said with a smile.

When contacting Xiaoao, Xiaoao's exclusive injury scroll was directly used on Xiaoao...

Although it is a pity to use this injury scroll now.

But there is no other way, Xiao Ao must not be sidelined, he is one of the two gates inside the Trailblazers!

The effect of the injury reel is within 24 hours, so Xiao Ao has not yet noticed any physical changes, and the ankle still has pain.

"Well, coach, I believe you!"

Xiao Ao nodded. In fact, he had suffered an injury before, but he was cured by Richard taking a primary injury scroll...

At present, Richard says that Xiao Olympic will recover completely tomorrow. Although it sounds incredible, Xiao O believes in Richard.

"Well, rehabilitation will definitely be possible, but this news should not be made public, not even the team doctors!"

"Let's leave a surprise for Xijue's opponent..."

"As for the king, neither you nor Big Ben will play, and they won't win us, just rest assured!"

Richard said with a smile to Xiaoao.

Xiao Ao stunned, is this the rhythm of the Lakers or Spurs?

If you want to stop playing in the Western Conference semifinals, and the news of the injury is concealed, it is estimated that the Lakers or Spurs have fun!

Especially the Lakers~www.readwn.com~ They are estimated to have a firecracker to celebrate...

There is no Olympics in the Trail Blazers, is it just a big instinct to prevent the sharks? ! Certainly not!

Now there are rules restricting shark cuts, plus the Trail Blazers are missing a small Olympic.

The Lakers’ chances of advancing are simply too great...

Once advanced to the finals, the championship will be in the Lakers' pocket!

One can imagine how excited the Lakers will be when they know the news...

...

But when Xiao Ou appears in the Western Finals on time, I am afraid they will be splashed with cold water.

Said the injured can not play for a month? !

You pioneers, the devil, are you even falsifying this kind of thing? !

Thinking of this, Xiao Ao was inexplicably excited...
