Paul Allen sat on the sidelines in a white turtleneck sweater with black-rimmed glasses, and his gaze swept over Lu Fei in the green No. 10 jersey on the court from time to time.

Lu Fei broke through, Stoudemire was in hot pursuit, and Collisson, who came on as a substitute, put up a high cover, the cover was fake, and his purpose was to pull Rasheed Wallace to the outside.

Lu Fei sped up, rushed past Rashid Wallace, and threw the basketball out without waiting for Wallace to catch up.

Collisson, who had already stuck Stoudemire with his body, went down and went straight to the basket when he caught the ball...... If he hadn't been a little far away from the basket, he would have dunked it at the same time.

The second quarter of the game was relatively dull, the offensive rhythm of the two sides was not as fast as the first quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on Randolph's hard chisel on the inside to chase the score, and at the critical moment Ray Allen and Lu Fei's two three-pointers stabilized the situation.

At halftime, at 56:42, the SuperSonics still led by 14 points, and the Trail Blazers' bench lineup failed to complete the task of catching up with the score.

But the supersonic players did not dare to let their guard down, after all, the Trailblazers are not easy to talk to.

If you don't pay attention in the second half, you may capsize in the gutter.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Randolph and Wallace played mercilessly in the two interior twin towers, which gave McMillan a bit of a headache, and now the team has no shortage of offensive means, and the defense is tough enough, but every time they encounter this kind of power-type inside, the supersonic will suffer more or less.

SuperSonics prefers to defend against those that are more "soft", iron-blooded jump shots, big and round...... Ahh

Anyway, the power center is always a lot harder to defend, and McMillan has talked to general manager Rick Sander a lot about getting an inside defensive gate anyway.

But the boss slammed the door......

His eyes looked at Trailblazer No. 30 Rashid Wallace, who was overturning the river on the supersonic interior line at this time, and couldn't help but envy.

Wouldn't it be nice if the supersonics had such a player......

Rasheed Wallace can be inside and outside, fast enough, and has good outside three-point firepower, averaging 1.9 three-pointers per game, he is also a low-post offensive expert, and no one can stop him from turning over a straight-arm jumper, and what is even more rare is that his defense is also excellent, averaging 1.3 blocks, 1.0 steals, and 6.7 rebounds per game this season does not reflect his role on the defensive end.

It's just that the temper is a little worse.

However, it seems that it is still a little bit short of relying on two inside lines to turn the game around, and the game entered the opening stage of the fourth quarter, and the supersonic speed directly bombarded the next wave of 18:2 F attack wave, which directly decided the end of the game.

In the end, SuperSonics won the race with a score of 113:98.

Lu Fei got 21 points and 8 assists, becoming the most shining cub in the game.

After the game, when I walked back to the locker room, a Trailblazers staff member came over, "Mr. Lu, hello, our boss wants to talk to you, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Boss?

McMillan on the side was nervous, isn't the boss of the Trailblazers Paul Allen, the founder of Microsoft, going to dig up the wall openly?

Lu Fei didn't expect Paul Allen to be so direct, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, please wait a minute, I'll change my clothes." ”

Ten minutes later, Lu Fei, dressed in a casual sweatshirt, appeared in Paul Allen's office.

The office is simple, a desk, a row of bookshelves, two chairs.

Paul Allen was sitting behind his desk and was reading the newspaper with his glasses on, when he noticed Lu Fei's footsteps walking in before he raised his head.

He smiled slightly: "I didn't expect the two of us to meet again." ”

The last time they saw each other was in the library of the University of Washington.

Lu Fei smiled, and saw that the picture in the newspaper in Allen's hand was the picture of him deducting Webber's goal a few days ago, and said with a smile: "It's me, I didn't expect you to be the owner of the Trail Blazers team, Mr. Allen." ”

"Sit down." Alan smiled, and then after Lu Fei sat down, he sat on the chair next to Lu Fei.

"What? Surprised? ”

"Sort of." Lu Fei nodded, he was surprised not by Paul Allen's identity, because he had recognized who he was before, and he was surprised that Paul Allen would see him so blatantly.

Paul Allen laughed and said, "It's just that I met you last time, and I wanted to find a chance to get to know you...... Well, congratulations on winning today's game......"

"Thank you." Lu Fei smiled: "But it's a pity that your team lost the game today." ”

"There are always losses and losses in competitions, just like doing business, there are profits and losses, this is an inevitable thing, do you think SuperSonics will always win?" Alan glanced at him.

Lu Fei shook his head: "No." ”

"So where can hypersound go? Playoffs? Western Conference Semifinals? Western Conference Finals? Or the Grand Final? Paul Allen asked with interest.

According to the current supersonic record, ranking third in the West, it is theoretically okay to boldly hope for the Western Conference semifinals, and dare to think about the Western Conference finals if you are a little bolder.

But Lu Fei just smiled, "Let's make the playoffs." ”

"Oh?" Allen raised his eyebrows: "Is it just the playoffs?" ”

"yes, just the playoffs." Lu Fei hesitated for a moment and said: "In fact, the strength of every team that can enter the playoffs in the west should not be underestimated, and most of the teams are very strong inside, except for the supersonic speed, which is an exception. ”

"You're a little deliberate in your choice." Allen smiled: "I think it's at least the Western Conference semifinals, but if you want to break out of the Western Conference semifinals, it is estimated that it will be a bit difficult for the SuperSonics, and if you want to go further, the team must choose to trade......"

"It's not something I can think about." Lu Fei said with a smile.

He always felt that Allen's concern seemed to be a little off, you are the owner of a Trail Blazers team, what are you doing with the supersonic trade?

The Trail Blazers are a puddle of mud that can't hold up the wall, shouldn't the owner think about how to put the team in order?

Even if it's mud......

I can't let urine be a scourge.

But Paul Allen also understands that if the team wants to go far this season, it is imperative to trade for quality interior players.

It's not that Oku, Evans, Wang Zhizhi, and Collison are bad, but compared with other strong teams in the league, they are still more than one notch behind.

Evans is almost useless, and while he can grab rebounds, his presence makes the interior overcrowded.

As a result, Wang Zhizhi was often moved to the No. 5 position to play as a substitute for Oku, but Collison wanted to say that the defense was positive, but the outside projection threat was not enough.

No matter how you calculate the supersonic inner line, it doesn't look good.

But how many good interior players in the league are leaving the team right now?

O'Neal is leaving at the end of this year, but he is going to the Heat, and with his big contract, it is estimated that SuperSonics boss Schultz will tremble when he sees it.

Garnett Duncan just looked greedy, and then talked about the team's record......

What is a dream, and this is what it means to dream.

"What do you think of Rashid Wallace?"

Paul Allen said indifferently, and Lu Fei rubbed his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Well, it must have been misheard!
