The top three in the West are the Jazz, the SuperSonics and the Lakers!

The fourth and fifth are the Suns and Spurs, and these two teams have a similar record!

And then there's the Portland Trail Blazers......

However, even if he is currently ranked sixth in the West, Richard does not feel any dissatisfaction, and the reason why he is not ranked high is because of a bad start!

If it weren't for the ban, the current Trail Blazers' record would definitely be better than the Spurs and the Suns!

Even surpassing the Lakers, who are third in the West, is not a problem at all......

The Lakers are currently 11-3, which is only two more wins than the Trail Blazers.

However, now that the season has just begun, it is not too late to catch up with the results from now on, and the gap of two wins may not take many games to recover.

With the Trail Blazers' overall strength significantly improved, Richard's ambitions must be much greater now......

Last season, Richard didn't really have a high demand for records, as long as he could make the playoffs, even if he was swept in the first round, he was not unacceptable.

finally reached the Western Conference semifinals, and even cheated the Jazz, which in Richard's opinion, last season was successful enough!

And this season, Richard's goal is set higher, after all, people should always break through when they go to a higher place.

Richard's goal is to finish in the top half of the Western Conference playoffs, and he has ruled out fourth place from his goal, and his real goal is to finish in the top three in the West!

If others knew that Richard's goal was to finish in the top three in the West, I am afraid that I would have to scold Richard for being a madman......

However, Richard felt that the goal he had set was not too much of a problem, and the Trailblazers had the strength to do it!

Now today's pioneers, the overall strength, in Richard's opinion, is really strong!

With the gradual maturity of Big Ben, Xiao Ao and Kobe, it can be said that the Trail Blazers are now a team with almost no shortcomings.

Without shortcomings, the opponent will have no way to target, and some undeserved losses can be avoided.

According to Richard's estimates, the current Trail Blazers, against the Lakers last season, even if they don't use any off-the-beaten-track moves and don't have any luck factors, the Trail Blazers will have a greater chance of winning than the Lakers......

Strong strength is naturally the confidence of Richard's determination to break into the top three in the West!

If they can really finish in the top three, it will be a lot of benefits for the Trail Blazers......

The biggest advantage is that they don't have to face the Lakers in the first and second rounds of the playoffs!

For O'Neal, Richard really has a headache, such a player is very difficult to do, and it is not impossible for him to lead the team to be eliminated by him if he is not careful.

And if the second round is played with the supersonics, Richard is more willing to accept some ......

Because of this year's playoffs, the SuperSonics met the Lakers in the second round, and then were hammered by the Lakers, and were eliminated by the Lakers with a score of 1:4.

It can be clearly seen that there is still a gap between the real strength of the two teams.

There is no unsolvable point like O'Neal in the supersonic lineup, and Richard is naturally more willing to face the supersonic ......

It's just that the season has only just begun, and the plans can't keep up with the changes......

……

After three consecutive away games, Richard led the team back to Portland for the next four home games.

This wave of four consecutive home games can be said to be full of danger, the four opponents are extremely strong, and none of them are weak!

The first game against the Phoenix Suns, against the Suns, it is good to say, Richard feels that against the Suns, they still have a pretty good chance of winning.

is mainly the back three eastern super powerhouses, which give Richard a bit of a headache......

Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls!

These three teams are the top three teams in the Eastern Conference record list last season, and the winning rate has all reached a terrifying 70%.

With such a wave of devils' home schedule, Richard didn't know whether to cry or laugh at all......

Now Richard feels that the Trail Blazers are very strong, but because he has not encountered any decent strong teams in the coaching process after his return from suspension, Richard is not very clear......

It's like a player who is blindly confident in his own strength, feeling that he can be scared of the sky, and if he doesn't wake him up with a big hand, he will never know what his strength is......

So Richard desperately needs a decent touchstone to check the quality of the current pioneers.

But now there are touchstones, and there are four in a row......

Except for the Suns, who are a little weaker, the three Eastern powerhouses are extremely difficult to deal with, and Richard is really afraid that he will have a four-game losing streak in this wave.

Just seven wins in a row, and then a four-game losing streak, that's obviously not a good thing......

……

In addition to this future wave of devils' home field, Richard is now worried about his own system tasks.

The primary god-making movement, these three tasks, Richard feels a little tricky right now......

It's too difficult, and I really expect the players to complete the task naturally, but it is estimated that it will really have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!

It is estimated that when Richard leads the team to win the championship, there may not be any players who can complete it.

So in this case, Richard has to make a move......

He can deploy the whole team of players to help one person brush up on the stats and help them complete the task if the team can win.

However, the next wave of four consecutive devils' home stadiums is obviously not good......

If you play normally, you don't know if you can do it, let alone help the players brush the data, and it's strange not to be beaten wisely.

……

Nov. 21, Rose Garden Arena.

Since the opponent was the fast-paced Phoenix Suns, Richard put on a starting lineup that fans had never seen before.

Center Big Ben, power forward Rashid, small forward Martial Jackson, point guard Bowen, point guard Kobe.

This starting lineup, although Richard has been practicing in training so far this season, is on the court for the first time.

After seeing this brand-new starting lineup, fans couldn't help but wonder a little, isn't this martial saint Jackson a player picked up by Richard......

Since the beginning of this season, Wu Sheng has not had many opportunities to play, averaging three to five minutes per game, and basically has no outstanding performance.

Now that such a player is suddenly promoted to the starting lineup, could it be that the original starter of the Trail Blazers was injured?

Fans looked over to the Trail Blazers bench, where both Ao and Robinson were well-behaved, sitting on the bench in warm-up suits......

Could it be that this martial saint is some secret weapon made by Richard?

Just like Richard picked up Bowen last season, is this Stephen Jackson also a leak?
