After the Devils played at home, the Trail Blazers still ranked fourth in the West with an 11-6 record......

In fact, this year's record ranking in the West is similar to last season, that is, the Rockets fell, and the record fell sharply, falling from the top three in the West to the eighth in the West, otherwise, the Lakers may still be fourth in the West, and the Trail Blazers are still fifth in the West......

Now the Lakers are full of joy, they have to thank the Rockets, if the Rockets have not fallen, then they estimate that they will have to face the Richard-led Trail Blazers in the first round of this year's playoffs......

Now O'Neal already has an inexplicable fear of the Trail Blazers, and hearing the name Richard is even more numb.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the brawl between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz, he also watched it, and he was a little scared to watch.

If you stand in Ma Long's position, can you just get too much......

Not to mention that this year's big book has been strong again......

Judging from the current situation, the Lakers are expected to not meet the Trail Blazers in the first round anyway, which is undoubtedly a good thing that makes O'Neal happy.

……

Inside Richard's office.

Big Ben, Little Ao and Kobe Bryant sat in front of Richard......

"We're going to have an easy time going on the next game, so you're probably going to get more opportunities on the pitch." Richard said to the three of them with a smile.

The three of them are a little puzzled, more opportunities to perform? Isn't there a lot of opportunities to perform now......

"Coach, what do you mean?" Big Ben asked suspiciously.

"I mean to make you play better data, to put it mildly, I just want you to brush up the data......"

"Last season, our Trail Blazers didn't have an All-Star, and this season I want to take advantage of the fact that the All-Star voting hasn't started yet, and let you brush up on the data and strive for an All-Star ......" Richard naturally couldn't tell the three of them about his god-making mission.

These words made the three of them even more puzzled, brushing data? How to brush this, basketball is just one......

"My plan is this, first determine a candidate, one of the three of you, and then gather the strength of the whole team, and let it play as beautiful as possible while ensuring that it can win!"

"It's better to be like this, Jermaine is the youngest, so let him start first......"

Xiao Ao's task is the easiest, so Richard first targeted Xiao Ao.

Big Ben and Kobe nodded, this kind of thing is a relatively normal thing in any professional league, and if the team wants to vigorously develop a new talent, it will adopt this approach.

Or if the team wants to trade a certain player, they will also let him brush up the data before the trade, and try to fatten up before selling.

"Coach, you...... You can't be trying to sell me, are you? Xiao Ao thought of this possibility, and couldn't help but ask with a bitter face.

Richard hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't think about it, how is it possible?" I'm counting on you three boys to help me win the championship! ”

Hearing Richard's assurance, Xiao Ao breathed a sigh of relief......

"Okay, let's make sure that Jamei is the candidate first, Da Ben is on the inside, try to help Xiao Ao in the card position, and then let Xiao Ao get more rebounds and scores, Kobe Bryant is the main control, the team is in a big lead, give priority to passing the ball to the inside, I believe you should know how to do it!"

"By the way, Big Ben, you are the captain of the team, you can inform the other players, and let Jermaine play super statistics as much as possible while ensuring that the team can win!"

Xiao Ao's face was pleasantly surprised, and Big Ben and Kobe nodded in agreement.

After the three of them left, Richard breathed a sigh of relief, the difficulty of these three primary god-making tasks is really big, and I don't know if Xiao Ao, the simplest task, can be successfully completed.

In three consecutive road games, the first game was against the Grizzlies.

Raheem is now amazing, and at the end of last season, he averaged about 19 points and 7 rebounds per game.

And this season, after playing nearly 20 games in the past, Rahim's stats have improved again.

At present, the average of 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game seems to have not improved much, but the offensive efficiency has improved a lot, and the comprehensive shooting rate has now reached almost 50%.

The outside three-point score reached a terrifying 41.2%, which made Richard greedy......

This is simply the best candidate for a space power forward, and if it weren't for the injury trouble, this guy probably has a chance to grow into a cross-generational player.

After meeting Raheem, Richard asked him to pay attention to his health and increase the number of outside shots.

Although Rashid has a high three-point shooting percentage, due to the team's tactics, he only has less than one three-point shot.

The Grizzlies had at least one Elvin Johnson as a blue-collar last season, and this season Elvin Johnson is gone, and Raheem is carrying the Grizzlies' interior line alone, and the pressure is high......

Last season's head coach, Winster, has been fired, and this season's new head coach Brian Hill is not as good as Winster, short-sighted, incompetent, and unable to fully realize Raheem's potential at all.

Raheem, a template player for a space-oriented power forward, was used by him as a coolie center......

In the long run, it is no wonder that Rahim is not abolished.

Richard is also secretly distressed, but there is no way, Raheem is the star of the Grizzlies, and they have produced such a star since the establishment of the team, and they are probably willing to trade if they are killed......

……

With the departure of Elvin Johnson, the Grizzlies' interior defense is basically an ornament.

I'm afraid that even if Big Ben doesn't help Xiao Ao, as long as Xiao Ao is given enough balls, with Xiao Ao's current level, it is not difficult to play a 20+10 data......

This kind of good opportunity to brush data, how could Richard miss it.

This game directly allowed Xiao Ao to appear for nearly 40 minutes, and finally under the card position of Big Ben and the passing of Kobe Bryant and Wu Sheng, Xiao Ao played quite dazzling data!

27 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, completely shocked the Grizzlies home fans.

The offensive efficiency is not high, 24 shots in exchange for 27 points, but no one cares about this, fans only see the current 19-year-old Xiao Ao completely burst the Grizzlies' restricted area......

Bryant Levis, who was opposite Xiao Ao, only got 7 points and 5 rebounds in the end of this game, and he was simply blown up into scum by Xiao Ao.

In the first battle after preparing to start the mission, Xiao Ao played such outstanding data, which invisibly reduced the difficulty of the follow-up mission.

In five games, he averaged 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which means that Xiao Ao scored a total of 100 points, 50 rebounds and 10 blocks in five games!

If the next four games can have this kind of performance, there is no doubt that Xiao Ao's task will be overfulfilled.
