Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 625: Eastern Conference Playoffs

However, Richard does not really want the top pick in his mind. He has already won two top picks, and he just got the top pick last season. If he gets the top pick again this season, then It's a bit too much to say.

   is mainly because it is the No. 1 pick, it does not matter to Richard at all.

   This year's top pick is Bagnani, the Italian Romans. If Richard really wants to choose, he would rather want Bogut than Bagnani...

   Purely looking at Bagnani's data, it's not bad. How to say that the peak period also has a score of 21 points, but in addition to the score data is good-looking, Richard can't find any big advantages in him.

   rebounding strength, weak people make the scalp numb, a seven-foot center, although it is an outside play, but averaged less than five rebounds per game, it is unreasonable.

  European center is good at organizing ability, Bagnani can also be considered to have, but quite tasteless, quite ordinary organizational ability, it is similar to no.

On the defensive end, he is unwilling to confront and has a poor sense of defense. The only thing that can be mentioned is that the blocking ability is also good. Of course, it is only just good. Compared with the big blockers such as Big Ben and Clark, he is off. I can't keep up with the pants.

Even if it is his best offense, it is actually the same. The offensive efficiency is not high, and the shooting rate is completely incomparable with the normal center. It is more similar to the shooting rate of the backcourt players. The total career shooting rate is 43.9%. 35% hit rate.

  In Richard's eyes, this Bagnani is really not as easy to use as Bogut, let alone compared with Aldridge in the list.

  The flower pick is Adam Morrison, which is also a rookie appointed by Jordan.

   Jordan's poor candidate vision is not only reflected in Kwame Brown, but also in Morrison.

   But Jordan chose Morrison with a flower pick. In fact, at that time, it was not an unacceptable choice.

In addition to having diabetes, Morrison was still very popular before entering the NBA.

   During the NCAA, he was called the strongest offensive player after Melon Anthony, plus old-fashioned dress, often wearing retro over-the-knee stockings, very popular with fans.

  In terms of popularity, Morrison was much more popular than Aldridge.

  The only thing is that he has diabetes, which limits his development.

  Richard will not choose Morrison, even if he has a way to not be affected by diabetes...

   After all, Richard has a better choice.

  ……

  On April 17, the playoffs officially started, and the Pirates played against the New Jersey Nets, the third in the east.

  Before the start of the game, the Nets coach Lawrence Frank was naturally under pressure. If the opponent is a normal sixth team in the East, Frank is not worried at all. He is confident that he can easily lead the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

   But now the key is that this sixth team in the East is not normal. It is important to know that before the All-Star Game, the Pirates' record was better than the Nets.

   It seems to the outside world that the reason for the pirates' record decline is that they sold Gottat and Ariza, the main bench players.

   But Frank is very clear that the departure of the two men has no particularly great impact on the overall strength of the Pirates, at least not so large that the Pirates rank so badly.

   If their Nets were defeated by the Pirates, Frank would not dare to think about the consequences. The only consequence must be that he was fired to calm down the anger of the fans.

  ……

In the home stadium of the Nets, Richard is mobilizing with the players before the game in the visiting team's locker room.

   has already decided to get the 16th overall pick, and then the Pirates will definitely not be able to continue to hide.

  How to pass the first round of the playoffs...

   As for whether you can continue to rush forward, it depends on luck, because the Pirates will encounter the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

  ……

  Although the relationship with Frank is good, Richard must not be able to put water in the playoffs.

   Players need to learn some playoff experience to prepare for the next year's rushing championship, so no matter what stage this year, Richard is not ready to give up.

  ……

   After the players from both sides entered the field, the starting man was on stage in the referee's whistle.

   The starting lineup of the Pirates is still the same old, starting lineup composed of five young people.

   The Nets' starting lineup looks much more luxurious than the Pirates.

   Starting center Nevide Costic, starting power forward Amir Johnson, the remaining three are the Nets' trident combination.

   Carter, Kidd and Richard Jefferson.

There are also super veterans like Clifford Robinson on the bench...

Seeing Robinson still fighting in the league, Richard was actually a little unbelievable.

  When he first entered the league, Robinson was even a veteran, but now almost eleven years later, this guy has not retired...

   Richard remembers clearly that Robinson was born in 66 years, and now it is 06 years, this guy is now forty years old.

  Veteran of living fossil level......

  ……

   Milicic and Kostić jumped the ball. Naturally, Milicic won the game.

   Chris Paul pushed the ball forward, looking at his baby face, full of solemnity, he knew how stressed he is now.

  It’s important to know that Kidd, a monumental figure in a traditional point guard group.

  This is only Paul's rookie season, and he will face the Super point guard like Kidd in the series. I can imagine how much pressure he has.

   However, with a steady personality and superb ability to pass and control, Paul still passed the ball to Milicic very well.

   Tonight's strategy set by Richard is that there is no strategy, according to the player's idea, follow the feeling on the court.

   This is also something that can't be helped. The Nets' lineup doesn't have too many shortcomings, and it's hard to find a special target.

   But Paul felt that the inside of the Nets might be weaker, so he passed the ball to Milicic for the first time to see if Milicic could open the situation on the inside.

  Milicic received the ball and shot directly, with good luck, and the ball turned into the rim after spinning a few times on the rim.

   The next is the offensive round of the Nets. Paul tries to make a physical confrontation with Kidd as much as possible, looking for stealing opportunities in chaos.

   But he underestimated Kidd's physical strength, Kidd is actually one of the strongest people in the point guard.

   The steal was not intercepted. Paul stole the chicken without eclipse and was squeezed away by Kidd and lost his position directly.

   Then Kidd quickly made a pick-and-roll for Jefferson. Jefferson caught the ball down and picked up the basket.

  ……

   Looked at the first attack and defense round, the two sides played back and forth, and there was not much to see at the moment.

  Richard sat on the side of the court, looking like he was holding a lot of money, but his heart was actually bottomless.

   played a game close to half a quarter, as the confrontation gradually improved, the two sides gradually played some anger.

  Especially in the duel between Kidd and Paul, the two have already started to get started with each other.

   Paul nicknamed the dirty gun, there are quite a few small movements on his hand, and old oil seeds like Kidd, this kind of thing will be affected by the ears, and it will certainly be a few hands.

   As a result, the more angry the two were, the more they started to scold each other blatantly.

   Richard did not hear what the two men were scolding anyway. Anyway, looking at the expressions of the two men, they must be very cruel.

  ……

   The Pirates played a good advantage on the inside. Milicic's offensive feel was hot. Half of the game was already scored with 7 points.

   But even so, the Pirates did not lead in the score, the opponent's trident combination, the offensive is also quite fierce, if Iguodala desperately blocked Carter, I am afraid that the Pirates are now in a backward situation.

  Richard thought for a while, and took Valecho down directly and replaced it with Mo Ning.

  Mo Ning could not play for too long~www.readwn.com~ But the efficiency in unit time is at least higher than that of Valecho at the moment.

   In the remaining half of the time, strive to make Moning and Milicic play an advantage, otherwise, Richard feels that the game is hanging.

  Although there are no decent bench players in the Nets bench, it is slightly better than the Pirates. Richard must be thinking of playing as much as possible in the starting time.

  Mr. Richard was delighted that after Mourning came on stage, the efficiency was quite good, especially on the defensive end. As soon as he played, he rewarded Amir Johnson with a big cap and turned his cap on the horse.

  Richard couldn't help but think of the situation when the Heat won the championship. Wade is definitely the number one hero, O'Neal is the second hero, and Moning can almost be called the third hero.

  Maybe the Pirates playoffs this year, Mourning can also play an excellent performance.

  Monin and Milicic teamed up to make the inside of the Nets explode.

   Milicic's exquisite passing ability directly turned the old Mourning under the basket into a dunk madman. Three dunks came from Kostić's head in half a game.

  Richard sighed with relief. If Mourning can maintain this state, it is not impossible for their pirates to kill the Nets.
