"Look, Richard's selection vision is really not simple!"

"We always thought that the No. 7 show he chose this year was just mediocre, and now it seems that the strength is still quite good!"

"We can find that the chances of producing talents in the seventh position are simply too much!"

"Kobe Bryant in '96, Dazhi in '97, plus this German in '98, all three of them were selected with the seventh pick, and their strength is very outstanding!"

Han Qiaosheng seemed to have discovered the law of the NBA draft, and said with excitement on his face.

"However, we can obviously see that the strength of the Trail Blazers is still stronger than that of the Philadelphia 76ers, which is inevitable, after all, Richard has been in business for so long, and it is normal for him to be stronger."

"Judging from the current situation, the Trail Blazers still have a good chance of winning the championship this season."

Even an amateur NBA "fan" like Han Qiaosheng can clearly feel that the Trail Blazers are stronger.

Saying that he is an amateur NBA fan, this really does not belittle Han Qiaosheng, think about the time he has been paying attention to the NBA, it has only been two or three years, and because of the closure of the news, his understanding of the NBA may not be as much as that of teenage junior high school students in the United States.

……

In the second half of the game, Nowitzki's hand became a little colder, but relying on the ball in his hand, by the halfway point of the fourth quarter, the German veteran driver still successfully got his 30th point.

"Congratulations to the host, Dirk Nowitzky's famous quest has been completed, and the host has received a little bit of the quest reward!"

After receiving the news that the mission was complete, Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

This precious spot is finally in hand, if there are a few more points in the future, then Richard is sure to use this spot to completely change the fate of a player!

As soon as the mission was completed, Richard immediately replaced Robinson on the court to improve the offensive and defensive intensity on the court.

Because Nowitzki's offensive efficiency dropped a lot in the second half, the difference between the two sides has been chased to the point of only 3 points left!

The Philadelphia 76ers have one of the league's top outside firepower, and if they don't make substitutions, it's not impossible to lose this game.

Although the relationship with the Philadelphia 76ers is quite close, one yard is one yard, and winning or losing games has nothing to do with friendship.

In Richard's view, the odds of the Philadelphia 76ers reaching the Finals this year are still quite high, and it is certainly not a good thing for the two teams to meet in the Finals and lose to the 76ers in the regular season.

……

Saying that the Philadelphia 76ers can reach the Finals is Richard's conclusion based on the current situation.

In the East, among the current top four teams, the Magic team is completely negligible, and their strength is the second round.

Across the East, the Philadelphia 76ers' real opponents are the Heat, Pacers and New York Knicks.

The 76ers Oakley plus Ratlief's interior combination, don't look at the disadvantage of the Auburn combination, but in fact, their combination is not the bottom of the league, but a relatively high interior combination.

The team that can really suppress this interior combination is probably the Trail Blazers, Spurs and Lakers, and no other team can do it.

Whether it's Oakley or Ratliff, these two are good at defense, and when they play against the Heat, don't say anything else, at least Mourning, the Heat's main offensive point on the inside, don't think about any too good play.

Rather wanted to break out, Oakley definitely didn't agree, these two people have a lot of grudges.

And the 76ers twin stars still have a good chance of winning against a Tim Hardaway.

On the Pacers' side, the regular season is as fierce as a dragon, the playoffs are as weak as worms, and the inside and outside combination of Reggie Miller and Schmitz can actually be seen as a poor version of the Yao Mai combination in later generations......

Miller's current form is declining a lot, and Schmitz's offensive end is okay, but under the defense of Oakley and Ratliffe, it is obviously difficult to play too good offensive state.

That's why Richard asked the 76ers to pay attention to the Knicks, because the 76ers have a good chance of winning against the Heat or the Pacers.

However, even if the 76ers do meet the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals, they still have a good chance of winning.

Purely looking at the Knicks' lineup, it's simply extravagant......

Gorilla Ewing, Marcus Camby, Madman Sprewell, mid-range king Alan Houston, mom Larry Johnson, Chris Dudley.

In terms of the luxury of the lineup, in the eyes of future fans, the Knicks are the best existence in the league today except for the Trail Blazers.

From the perspective of current fans, the Knicks are on an equal footing with the Trail Blazers.

But no matter how good the Knicks are, as long as the game starts, the book strength of the lineup will be discounted by seven percent, which is the Knicks' team characteristics.

No matter how good their squad is and how many big players they have in the team, they just can't play as good as they should be.

The main reason is that there are too many unreliable players among these players of the Knicks......

And the aging of the lineup is also a problem that cannot be ignored.

Ewing was basically reimbursed for the entire season last season, and this season, in Richard's memory, although Ewing participated in the playoffs, his performance was really not good, almost the level of the league's second-tier inside.

Anyway, an inside combination like Ewing, Camby and Dudley, in Richard's view, can play a role, and it may not necessarily be as good as Oakley and Ratliff.

As for the outside, the Philadelphia 76ers have more offensive firepower, but the Knicks are stronger defensively, and it will depend on the performance of the players on both sides.

Richard expects the two teams to play seven games before the Philadelphia 76ers get their ticket to the Finals.

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.

The Trail Blazers eventually won by eight points on their home court, which was a narrow victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, who were the favorites in the East.

Although there is only an eight-point difference, in fact, the difference between the real strength of the two teams is more than eight points, and if it were not for Richard's constant desire for Nowitzki to do the task, the difference would definitely be higher.

……

Winning again, Trail Blazers fans have no idea how to describe their feelings.

They have a hunch that this year's Trail Blazers will be stronger than last season's Trail Blazers.

Of course, it would be impossible to break the all-time winning record, after all, there are only 50 games in total this year, and it is completely impossible to break last season's all-time record of 65 wins.

However, there is every chance that the win rate will be broken!

Last season, the Trail Blazers' season win rate was 79%, and this season, as long as the Trail Blazers play 40 wins, they can break the team all-time single-season win percentage record!

Judging from the current situation of the Trail Blazers, 40 wins in a single season does not seem to be difficult at all!
