Chapter 606: A Generation of Jokic (Five Changes, First Change)
There was still a minute left before the end of the first half......
Bogut was off, but instead of being rested by Stottes, he ran out of fouls.
In just two quarters of the game, Valejo directly made four offensive fouls, one defensive foul, and the remaining one foul, which Bogut got when defending Iguodala on the break.
Jordan is going crazy with joy, and the potential shown by Bogut is not bad......
There are rebounds, defense, low-post singles, and good matchups under the basket, but who cares about his advantages at the moment, all staring at his embarrassing statistic of six fouls in the half.
6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 6 fouls, this is the stat that Bogut played in the half......
If you want to say that it is very bad, it will not be, but it must not be said to be good, and it is far from matching his identity as a champion.
Jordan felt that the day was not far from completely whitewashing himself.
……
Jordan was crazy, but Stotters was mad.
He couldn't figure out how Richard could come up with such a strange player, well, this strange thing was Vallejo.
Is this still a player? This is obviously an actor......
The actor completely ruined Bogut's preseason debut.
Stouts actually knows very well that if there is no Valejo tonight, with Bogut's ability, it will not be very difficult to give him plenty of playing time and win a 15+10 data.
But now everything is over, completely ruined by this actor.
Now Stottus just wants to scold his mother loudly, and he doesn't know if Bogut's mentality will be affected.
"Andrew, don't take it to heart, the other party's intrigue is only useful in the regular season, and when it comes to the really critical moment, it is still the strength to fight."
"You did a good job tonight and we're all satisfied."
Stouts patted Bogut on the shoulder and comforted.
Bogut was also angry with Vallejo, but now he is comforted by his coach, and he feels better.
In any case, it can also be seen from this game that the coach attaches great importance to himself, as long as he attaches importance to himself, then he will have a bright day sooner or later.
……
Richard switched to the team's bench in the second half, and several rookie players stayed on the pitch to continue playing.
Gortat was paired with Mourning.
Under normal circumstances, this Polish hammer was actually quite embarrassing at the beginning of his career......
He was drafted by the Phoenix Suns, and then directly sent to the Development League by the Suns.
After nearly two years of decentralization, I am afraid that even the Suns themselves have forgotten that there is such a player in the team.
Later in a trade, he was sold to the Magic as a trade add-on.
It wasn't until near the end of the 2008 season that I finally got my NBA debut.
Later, on the Magic, he became Howard's primary backup, and in the 10-11 season, the Suns bought him back from the Magic and gave him a stable starting position.
At his peak, Gortat was also a first-line center who averaged 15+10+1.5 blocks per game.
It can also be seen from this that in fact, the Suns' selection vision is not bad.
Not only Gortat, but also the former martial saint Jackson is also a treasure picked up by the Suns in the second round......
But the bad thing is that the Suns often don't use it much after the draft, and they end up cheapening other teams.
Right now, Richard is ready to develop Gortat and sell him for next year's draft pick before the doors close on this year's trade market.
Of course, just one Gortat wants to trade for a high pick, and it's unlikely that he will be traded for a high pick, and maybe Richard will have to add some chips at that time.
At Ariza's point, Richard actually has a plan to sell him for fattening, but he is not in a hurry at the moment, at least he has to wait until next year's draft is over.
……
There were five people on the court, Gortat, Mourning, Ariza, Granger and Paul, and the Bucks didn't bother to care about this game because Bogut couldn't play.
In the end, the Buccaneers kept their home court and won the first game of the preseason with a score of 102-87.
The most outstanding stats in this game is undoubtedly Chris Paul, who played 37 minutes and scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals.
Compared with the embarrassing data of champion Bogut, Paul's data can be called against the sky.
Milicic's on-court performance is actually not much worse than Paul's, but in terms of statistics, because he only played 25 minutes, he is not as good as Paul.
17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Seeing such a data, Richard immediately remembered an interior player in later generations - Jokic Yorgy.
It seems like it's a good option to let Milicic go in Jokic's direction.
In fact, Richard also knows very well that if it weren't delayed, Milicic could really be a generation of Jokic, and maybe after the rise of Jokic in the future, he will get the title of Milicic II.
If he can get Milicic to play the whole game tonight, Richard feels that Milicic might even show himself the next triple-double.
The difficulty of getting a triple-double on the inside is much bigger than that of the outside players.
If Milicic can hit triple-doubles from time to time in the Pirates team, it may not be long before Richard's mission of saving Milicic from the center can be completed.
Is an interior player who can often make triple-doubles the top in the league?
That must count......
Richard became excited, and he had finally found a path for Milicic's growth.
Richard has always been more worried about Milicic's growth.
Although he is good in all aspects, it doesn't seem very suitable for him to play a pure traditional inside line, with Milicic's temperament.
……
After the game, Jordan excitedly took Chris Paul and Milicic to the press conference.
Generally speaking, this kind of post-game press conference, the boss will definitely not attend.
But now Jordan can't care so much, the only thing he wants now is to prove to the world how sharp his vision is.
Take a look at Chris Paul's performance tonight, complete the champion Bogut!
What does this mean? explained that he chose the right person this time.
As for Richard, he must be too lazy to join in the excitement, since Jordan wants to be in the limelight, let him out, anyway, this hype is beneficial for the Pirates.
For a team to make money, the first thing to do is to make a lasting impression in the minds of the fans.
Otherwise, in the minds of the fans, your team has no sense of existence, where to make money.
What Jordan is doing now is undoubtedly making a deep impression on the fans, so Richard will definitely not meddle in things.
"As I said, Chris Paul is the best player in this draft."
"I think through tonight's game, you can already feel that."
"Our draft is so smart, and our selection is so good."
"Bogut is so immature, compared to Paul, he is completely like a kid who has just graduated from high school."
Jordan couldn't help but be overjoyed, this press conference lasted for half an hour, and the shadow caused by Kwame Brown was completely released at this press conference.
When the Pirate press conference was over, Bogut was interviewed by the reporters.
He only said one word......
"My performance tonight is really not very good, but I think I should be a lot better than Kwame Brown, right?"
This is Chi Guoguo's slap on Jordan's face and revealing Jordan's scars, when Jordan found out about it, he was angry that he hadn't eaten for a day.
Although with his own identity and alliance status, to raise the bar with a small Bogut is a bit cheap.
But Jordan is so much in charge now, he wants to slap Bogut in the face completely.
And the only way to do that is to make Kwame Brown stronger, stronger than Bogut.
