Chapter 411: The bearded Davis joins strongly
In recent drafts, there have actually been a lot of outstanding point guards.
For example, Billups, Bibby, Bai Qiao, Jet Terry and others.
Richard definitely doesn't look down on such an ordinary point guard now, even if it's just looking for a backup point guard, Richard doesn't want to settle, he also wants to find a high-grade backup.
First, he contacted the Hawks about a trade for Terry, and Richard was ready to take out Mobley and let the Hawks add some chips, such as a first-round pick......
Terry's performance in this rookie season just ended was not particularly outstanding, averaging only about 8 points and 4 assists per game.
Richard's offer to the Hawks is not too bad......
In his opinion, Mobley is really worth more than Terry, and if the Hawks add a first-round pick, he can fully accept the deal.
But what made Richard speechless was that after Wilkens left the Hawks, the management and head coach of their team made it clear that they were going to mess up.
Saying that he was not willing to give Richard a first-round pick.
Even with Terry single for Mobley, they were a little reluctant, thinking about using other chips to exchange Mobley, keep Terry in the team, train hard for a year, and see if they can play.
Richard naturally didn't want to, the Eagles' valuable things, that is, a Terry and their future first-round pick, if they weren't willing to hand over those two things, Richard would not agree to the deal unless he had his brain in water.
Richard refused, but the Eagles continued to grind Richard, and they didn't have any AC in their hearts......
In the end, it really annoyed Richard, and simply refused to answer any call from the eagle.
When Wilkens was there before, Richard naturally wanted to give the Eagles a face.
Now that Wilkens is gone, Richard doesn't bother to take care of the Eagles......
In his opinion, the management of the Eagles and the new head coach are simply out of Dunhuang, and there are too many murals!
The Eagles' side of the talks collapsed, and Richard naturally had the next alternative.
And this alternative is actually Richard's primary goal, but when he first talked to the other party, the other party was very tight-mouthed and was only willing to change alone, unwilling to add a first-round pick.
Richard then went around with the Hawks to see if he could cheat a first-round pick.
Now that there is no play on the Hawks' side, Richard has restarted negotiations with the Hornets in desperation.
Richard's target is none other than West Lafayette's '99 rookie Byron Davis.
You are the identity of the list, but the treatment that the bearded man enjoys in the wasp is quite shabby.
In the rookie season that just ended, he only got 5+3 data, and among all the players in the top ten picks, there was no worse data than him.
And in the Purdue Six, Davis's data is quite embarrassing.
Brand averaged 23+10 per game, Odom averaged 17+5+6 per game, Szzczebiak averaged 14+4+3 per game, Hamilton averaged 15+4 per game, and even Artest, who has been used as an outside blue-collar player in the Trail Blazers, can average more than six points per game.
……
Richard didn't really understand what the Hornets meant, and he didn't want to use it at all, and the bearded Davis's entire rookie season was almost wasted.
According to Richard's guess, the Hornets have a mature head guard David Wesley on the team, and the second is that they want to keep a playoff spot last season, so they haven't used the bearded Davis much.
And now that the Trail Blazers are ready to trade Mobley, the Hornets don't seem to be losing money on this deal!
Mobley came to play the point guard, so the Hornets' backcourt combination is David Wesley, Mobley and Eddie Jones, and the frontcourt has Coleman plus Campbell, as if this lineup is a bit flashy......
However, they actually know the value of Davis in their hearts, and the reason why the data is poor is because they don't use it much, and if they are given enough time, they will definitely not be as embarrassed as the data now.
The bottom line they can accept is that Richard will trade Mobley for Davis and let them post another first-round pick, then they feel a bit of a loss.
……
"Silas, let's do this, let's send Mobley, we Trail Blazers don't want your first-round pick, give me Byron Davis and Ricky Davis, and the deal will be done!"
"If you don't nod your head in that case, then I can't help it......"
Richard gave the Hornets an ultimatum, and the Hornets came up with double Davis, otherwise, the deal would be nullified.
Hornets head coach Paul Silas immediately notified the Hornets management of Richard's final trade offer.
"Who? Ricky? Is Richard crazy? How could you think of asking for Ricky Davis? ”
"Paul, did you hear me wrong......
When Hornets management heard that Richard had put Ricky Davis in the trade offer, they were all dumbfounded.
If Richard hadn't talked about Ricky Davis, they would have even been prepared to cut the guy who didn't have much presence on the team.
Averaging 10 minutes per game and scoring four points, he is a real fringe player.
They couldn't figure out how Richard could have thought of such a player.
"Do you want to make up the list? Ricky's contract expires next season, maybe that's what Richard has his eye on, right? Paul Silas said uncertainly.
Take out the double Davis to trade for Mobley, anyway, Paul Silas feels quite profitable.
Byron Davis does have potential, but no one can say whether this potential can be realized......
What if he is given plenty of time to appear, he is still a data scumbag?!
As for Ricky Davis, he is a fringe player in the Hornets, who cares about him, the Hornets themselves got him with a second-round pick, and they don't care very much.
"Promise him, we can't seem to find a reason not to agree, Mobley can greatly enhance our backcourt offensive firepower!"
"That's right, this deal will definitely not be lost, Byron Davis's offensive ability is not strong, I think even if he grows up, the role is not as big as Mobley!"
"Contact Richard, we agreed to this deal, the sooner the deal is traded, the better, Richard's villain may do something to regret!"
Wasp management, you didn't say a word, and directly decided this matter.
Even because he was afraid that Richard would change his mind, he urged the pioneers to make an official announcement quickly......
Once the Trail Blazers officially announce it, then this matter will basically be stable, and no matter how thick-skinned Richard is, it is impossible to regret it after the team's official announcement.
……
In the afternoon of the next day, the Trail Blazers and Hornets jointly released the news.
The two sides made a trade, and the Trail Blazers sent Mobley and the same name he had previously acquired from the Cavaliers in exchange for Byron Davis, the Hornets' top pick, and Ricky Davis, a marginal player.
(Knight adding: Hong Kong Zhen, can the author write me a name...... )
After this deal broke out, it caused an uproar again.
The Trail Blazers have made a lot of moves this offseason, making two trades in quick succession.
Since Richard joined the Trail Blazers, it was the first year that there have been such frequent trades......
Sent away Harrington and Mobley in exchange for parallel Byron Davis and a lesser-known fish belly player.
Although the Trail Blazers received two first-round picks from the Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers picked another backcourt in the draft this year.
But no matter how you look at it, the overall strength of the Trailblazers seems to have declined slightly.
No one understood what Richard was thinking......
Shouldn't this season be the season that the Trail Blazers should improve the most?!
Looking at the posture of the league, maybe there will be rules to restrict shark cutting in the next season, in this case, Richard still dares to mess around?!
It's so daring......
What if the Trail Blazers lost their third championship because of these two trades? That would be a shame......
A second consecutive championship and a triple championship are not the same thing at all.
……
Many Trail Blazers fans are beating the drum in their hearts, and it would be a shame if they did lose the championship this year.
But they couldn't blame Richard for it.
Richard has proven his coaching ability and roster building ability countless times, so what is the special purpose of these two trades he made?!
When it comes to special purposes, Richard really doesn't have ......
His only purpose was to sell Harrington and Mobley when the value of their trade was high, so as to maximize the value of the two of them.
In these two transactions, the Trail Blazers got two first-round picks from the Cavaliers, and the bottom is guaranteed to be top-10 picks, which is equivalent to saying that the Trail Blazers won the future.
Not only did they win the future, but they also had nothing to lose in terms of combat power.
Harrington does have some role for the Trail Blazers, but its role is actually limited......
After all, there are too many people in the Trail Blazers who can replace Harrington's two-way forward position, such as Lewis, who is actually similar to Harrington's style of play, of course, rebounding and defense are not as good as Harrington, but his shooting skills are better than Harrington.
It just so happens that this next season, Richard can focus on developing Lewis.
As for Mobley, in fact, for the pioneers, it is already a dispensable existence.
If Mobley can play point guard, then Richard is definitely not willing to sell, the key is that this kid is not capable of playing point guard, in the Trail Blazers, if it weren't for Richard not wanting his data to shrink, in fact, he would not have been able to get any playing time......
And now to exchange Mobley for Byron Davis is definitely not a loss.
What's more, there is a big brother from LeBron joining, no matter how you look at it, it is earned.
……
After the two deals are made, Richard is not ready to continue the trade, and this roster is enough for now.
The next thing to do is to train this wave of new recruits first, let them train with Big Ben and them, and strive to improve a wave of strength before the season starts!
……
In the 2000-2001 season, Richard's squad was decided.
Big Ben, Little O, Robinson, Nowitzki, Ginobili, Artest, Kirilenko, Lewis, Curry Sr., Byron Davis, Ricky Davis, and Michael Reed, who was just drafted this year.
There are exactly twelve people, and then it is enough to find a random cannon fodder to make up thirteen people.
Of the twelve, Richard had already made the arrangements.
Ginobili and Byron Davis will be the team's No. 1 positions for the new season.
Richard is now planning to let Ginobili play as a substitute and let the new signing Byron Davis start!
The purpose of this must be to develop his beard, although he has been in the league for a season, but he has not accumulated much experience.
At the Hornets, he played most of his time in garbage time.
Now that it's in Richard's hands, it should be cultivated well.
In the second and third positions, Richard now has quite a lot of players at his disposal.
Artest, Robinson, Nowitzki, Ricky Davis, Reid, and others.
Anyway, except for Big Ben, Xiao Ao and Kirilenko, the rest of the players can play the second and third positions.
The general lineup has not changed much from the lineup that won the previous two championships, and Richard is actually quite confident in whether he can win the championship in the next new season.
Even if the Lakers really rely on the league rules and become able to wrestle with the Trail Blazers, then Richard is actually not without a move.
He also has three All-Star Light props in his hand.
The All-Star light of Iverson, Xiao Ao and Kobe Bryant, with good luck, is enough to make the strength of a player on the team soar.
And this season Richard is already qualified to coach the All-Star, it is estimated that he will gain a lot of All-Star light by then, if Richard is really in a hurry, Richard can directly use these All-Star lights to create a monster!
Anyway, Richard doesn't scare the Lakers much, and there is no need to be afraid of the Lakers.
Even if the alliance restricts shark cutting, the shark cutting tactic can still be used, at most a little less.
Anyway, this season's championship, Richard is decided!
The dynasty is just around the corner, and even if Richard spends a lot of money, he must first build the current dynasty!
……
At the end of August, there are still less than two months to go before the start of the new season.
Dazhi made a phone call to Richard in China, which surprised Richard a little.
"Coach, the Basketball Association said that I want to invite you to coach this year's Olympic Games......" When Dazhi said this, it was obviously a little confusing for the second monk.
Because there is still more than half a month before the start of the Olympic Games, as far as Dazhi knows, the Basketball Association has never mentioned this matter to Richard before.
Dazhi represented the Chinese men's basketball team in the 2000 Sydney Olympics this year, and just after the end of the season, he returned to China to participate in the training camp.
Although Dazhi does not belong to the Basketball Association, the Basketball Association invited Dazhi to play for the country early, and for this kind of opportunity, Dazhi naturally could not miss it, so he accepted it without saying a word.
And at the beginning, Dazhi also recommended Richard to the Basketball Association, wanting Richard to coach the Chinese men's basketball team.
But the Basketball Association's reply to Dazhi was to be considered.
What Dazhi didn't expect was that this consideration was directly taken into account when there was only half a month left for the start of the Olympic Games.
This naturally made Dazhi quite dissatisfied, and if he had said this earlier, he would have been embarrassed to talk to Richard.
He had a lot of contact with Richard, and he knew very well that if Richard had this kind of opportunity, he would definitely not miss it.
But it's too awkward at this point in time......
Seeing that the game is about to start, you go to ask someone to be the coach, what will people think?!
I'm sure I won't feel comfortable......
It's like inviting guests to dinner, those who are invited three days in advance are distinguished guests, those who are invited on the day are friends, and those who are invited at the beginning of the game are made up......
Now that the Olympics are about to start, I remembered to invite Richard, wouldn't I say that Richard was regarded as a number.
Although Dazhi was reluctant, he still called Richard to tell him.
……
Richard was dumbfounded, the Basketball Association invited himself to be the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team?!
This fucking is about to start, please coach yourself, how do you feel like you are asking yourself to take the blame.
The Chinese people attach great importance to the Olympic Games.
If the men's basketball team does not perform well, then it is estimated that the basketball association will be scolded to death, maybe they did not plan to invite Richard in the first place, after all, Richard is a foreigner anyway.
In this era, China is actually not so open, and foreign coaches have never been used as men's basketball coaches.
However, in the next two Olympic Games, foreign coaches were invited three times in a row.
In 2004, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team was Del Harris, yes, the former head coach of the Lakers......
He was an assistant coach for Richard for a while, and now coaches in the NCAA.
As for 2008, the Chinese men's basketball team invited European coach Younas.
In 2012, Deng Huade was invited again......
Now Richard can't figure out what the basketball association means, after all, this time point is really embarrassing.
If you lead the team yourself, what can you do in just half a month?
Can't do anything......
You may even take the blame for your bad grades!
It's better to wait for the 2004 Olympics, when Yao Ming has already begun to make a name for himself in the NBA, and with the more mature Dazhi, he may be able to play well.
"Dazhi, help me push this matter, wait for the next Olympics." Richard gave the Basketball Association an answer.
Forget it this time, if you are really sincere, then let's talk about it at the next Olympics.
Richard's reply, Dazhi had already imagined, after all, if it was him, he would definitely push it ......
Thinking of himself as a number, the ghost agreed to coach.
……
Missing this Olympics, in fact, Richard also felt a little pity.
But if you miss it, you will miss it, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, and Richard will not be bothered by this matter.
……
In September, the turmoil between Duncan and the Spurs has finally settled.
The Magic didn't get Duncan in the end, and Dougreaves missed Duncan completely because of some incomprehensible decisions.
In fact, missing Duncan is not the most fatal for the Magic!
The real Magic team was exhausted by Grant Hill......
In the years when Hill played in the Pistons, he had nothing to do with the glass man at all, but after the magic, he completely turned into the glass man.
With a super big contract, but can't play, it's no wonder that the Magic's record can be good.
……
Seeing Duncan sign a contract with the Spurs with a maximum salary, Richard sighed secretly.
It's a pity that he Richard has completely missed Duncan, and he doesn't want to have the opportunity to coach the all-time number one forward in his life.
This offseason, there have been a lot of trades, and even the two favourites have been in a lot of motion.
The Trail Blazers took Maddy, the main control in the backcourt, and then made two more trades, but the main lineup did not change, and it was only a change on the bench.
As for the Lakers, their movements are terrifying......
It's not that the Lakers want to make these moves, but they can't help it.
Glen Les, the third leader of their team, fell out directly with Zen masters Jackson and Jerry West......
As for the reason for the breakup, it is nothing more than the status of the team and the contract problem.
Originally, Glen Les was really going to retire with the Lakers, and after his contract was executed, he signed a new big contract with the Lakers and strived to retire with the Lakers.
But with the Lakers bringing in Kobe, this made Glen Les know that something was wrong......
O'Neal is super top salary, Kobe Bryant is also top salary, what will the Lakers take to give Glen Les a big contract next?!
Coupled with the fact that Kobe Bryant robbed a lot of shots, Glen Rice directly got into a deal with the Lakers management.
And it's inextricably linked, and at least ninety percent of them are likely to be fanned by O'Neal inside.
Glen Royce and O'Neill have a fairly good relationship and belong to the level of close friends.
O'Neal is actually a little dissatisfied with the team now, to be precise, with Kobe......
Why are you an outsider, looking like you're going to sit on Lao Tzu's head?
And he dared to publicly accuse himself during training!
It's no wonder that O'Neal can be satisfied with Kobe, and it just so happens that Glen Les has roughly the same idea, and at the instigation of O'Neal, the brainless stabbing Glen Les directly began to argue with the Lakers management.
It wasn't for nothing that the Hornets and Lakers traded Glen Rice in the first place.
All the players in the entire Hornets team directly united to force the Hornets management to sell Glen Les......
Think about the boss of a team, mixed to this point, Glen Rice is also sad enough.
……
In the face of Glen Les's clamour, think about the identities of Zen master Jackson and Jerry West, can they dump Glen Les? !
As a result, Glen Les was sold directly to the New York Knicks......
Last season, AC Green's point was completely blown out and almost did not play a role in the Western Conference finals, which also led to the Lakers strengthening the point of power forward this season.
They got Cobra Grant, although it is still not a good product, but in terms of combat power, it is not a grade better than AC Green.
In addition to that, they also got Isaiah Ryder.
It was Ryder who was directly resold to the Hornets after Richard took over from the Timberwolves......
Last season, Ryder averaged 19 points per game in the slump Hawks, but the shooting percentage was scummy, and it was all the data that was brushed up on the garbage team.
The Lakers are counting on Ryder to replace Glen Rice's role on the team, which must be overthinking......
Richard is quite familiar with Ryder's career, after he arrived with the Lakers, he was directly unknown to everyone, let alone the quasi-All-Star level, and then he couldn't even play a starting position in the Lakers, so he could only play as a substitute.
It seems that the strength of the Lakers seems to have increased a little, but Richard feels that the strength of the Lakers has become weaker.
Glen Rice is far stronger than Ryder, at least in the next season, when the Lakers play against the Trail Blazers, there is no advantage on the front line.
……
In mid-September, the Sydney Olympics officially began, and Richard watched the opening game of the Chinese men's basketball team with great interest, against France in the group stage.
The men's basketball team has heard of almost every player in the men's basketball team, Richard.
Dazhi, Yao Ming, Battle, Liu Yudong, Hu Weidong, Li Nan, Guo Shiqiang......
This is definitely the golden generation of the Chinese men's basketball team, the three Great Walls are all on the rise, and the older generation of players is also at the peak.
As a result, in the opening game against France, the Chinese men's basketball team relied on Dazhi's strong offense and scored 26 points in a single game, and easily won France in the first game.
Richard's eyes were hot, and he really regretted not coaching the Sydney Olympics this time.
No, he also knows very well that the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team is indeed good, but there is still a gap between winning the medal.
Unless......
Unless Dazhi and Yao Ming both enter their prime, and there are two more players in the backcourt at least the NBA's main starting level, then the men's basketball team will have 100% certainty of winning medals.
This year, the U.S. team is the Dream Four team, and Vince Carter has deducted the most classic dunk of his career, the death dunk, at this Olympics.
The lineup of the Dream Four team is not too strong, anyway, it is far inferior to Dream One.
Vince Carter, Kidd, Alan Houston, Tim Hardaway, Mourning, Garnett, Venbaker, Ray Allen, McDyce, Raheem, Glove Payton.
It can be seen that the top players in every position in the league did not participate in this Olympics, such as O'Neal in the center position, Duncan and Big Ben in the power forward position, and Kobe Bryant in the swingman in the forward position......
But even so, the Dream Four team still has the strength to beat other national teams.
In the face of a team of this strength, it is no wonder that Richard is not sure of winning a medal.
……
At the end of September, Dave Cowens came to say goodbye to Richard, and he accepted the Warriors' offer of head coaching.
Naturally, Richard had no reason to stay......
As soon as Cowens left, the number of assistant coaches under Richard seemed to be stretched thin, and only one Stevens and Zhang Weiping remained.
Stevens has been working under Richard for four years, and now he has matured a lot, and he is able to take charge of many things on his own.
However, after all, the age is still too young, and at the age of less than twenty-four, it is definitely not appropriate to put him in the position of chief assistant coach.
As a result, Zhang Weiping became the chief assistant coach of the Portland Trail Blazers.
In the past few years, Zhang Weiping has actually learned a lot of things, such as the doorways in the transactions of all parties in the league, such as how to get along with the top stars in the league.
Richard feels that it may not be long before Zhang Weiping may be poached by other teams like those previous assistant coaches.
……
The number of assistant coaches is too small, and Richard has no plans to recruit assistant coaches at the moment, mainly because now the old Curry has taken a back seat, basically playing the role of shooting coach in the team.
As for other matters, with the help of Zhang Weiping and Stevens, Richard can also handle it.
……
"BOSS, the Eagles have been frantically contacting me these days, and this time their target is Ginobili......" Stevens complained to Richard in distress.
Richard waved his hand, "Let them go where they are cool, or I will simply give them all the starting lineup of the Trail Blazers!" ”
"What a bunch of guys who don't have AC numbers in their hearts!"
Richard is also annoyed enough for the Hawks, a team that has always been worried about the Trail Blazers' players, but Richard has been too lazy to deal with them.
They had no choice but to find Richard's right-hand man, Stevens, to see if there was any hope of trading Ginobili.
The preseason is about to begin, and the Hawks management is well aware that if the Trail Blazers can't be handled in the offseason, it will be even more useless when the season begins......
Richard was naturally too lazy to deal with them.
On October 3, the NBA preseason officially began.
Richard's preseason this time is the same as last season, and he began to use newcomers.
Center Kirilenko, power forward Lewis, small forward Ricky Davis, point guard Michael Reed, point guard Byron Davis.
"Remember, the five of you will probably play the whole game, because it's a preseason, so I don't ask you to win or lose, what I want to see is your hard work on the court!"
"Rashad, you are also a veteran in the team, this is your third season with the Trail Blazers, work the court, the opportunity is your own, if you don't perform well, even if you are a veteran in the team, I can't give you too many opportunities!" Richard said to Lewis.
Lewis nodded solemnly, he had been looking forward to the start of the season for a long time.
With Harrington gone, he may be the first substitute for Nowitzki, albeit only as a substitute, but it is also a rare improvement for Lewis, who has not been present for the previous two seasons.
"AK, I'm going to make you take on more responsibility this season!"
"Hopefully you'll be as aggressive as your nickname!"
"You're a defensive player, you have to play aggressively on the court, don't be afraid of fouls, and don't be afraid of causing conflicts!"
"Clash is part of the game, not to mention that we are trailblazers!"
Richard said to Kirilenko again.
Like Nowitzki, Richard also gave Kirilenko a nickname.
"Byron, Michael, you two will probably start a third to half of the games in the next season, and I hope you both can play as a starter in pre-season!"
"Ricky, forget your goddamn second-round pick status, you'll be the next Mobley!"
Before appearing on the stage, Richard poured a wave of chicken soup with the newcomers one by one.
"Doot toot!" The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.
The Trail Blazers' opponent in this game is the Los Angeles Clippers......
The Clippers are now almost synonymous with a fish belly team, and they finally got a first-round pick, and they chose Olocore Kandi......
However, they chose Odom with a better vision, and now Odom has become the Clippers' signature star.
The strength of this Clippers, in Richard's words, is that the mud can't hold up the wall.
The strength is really scum, Odom's average score of 17 points per game actually sat in the position of the team's scoring champion.
As for the team's second-scorer, he averaged only 12 points per game.
Anyway, by any measure, the Clippers can't do it......
Even if Richard came up with a set of the Trail Blazers' most marginal lineup in this game, it still made the Clippers a little overwhelmed.
In the opening game, the bearded Davis passed directly to Lewis on the perimeter and assisted the latter to hit a three-pointer.
Kirilenko and Olovokandi can also have a clear advantage in the duel on the inside.
The current Trailblazers on the court, in fact, have quite good offensive firepower, and the slightly less interesting is the defensive end.
However, the Clippers' offensive ability is also very scummy, even if the Trail Blazers' lineup is not very good defensively, they can still play an advantage.
The only one who can hold up the façade on the Clippers' side at the moment is Odom, who scored 10 points in the first quarter under Lewis's defense, and his performance was quite outstanding.
"Byron, what am I telling you?"
"Sit and fight!"
"Look at your muscles, look at your tonnage, look at your big ass, you're a mini version of Charles Barkley!"
"Take advantage of your advantage, how much lighter is that skinny point guard on the other side than you?"
"Twenty kilograms!" Stevens said with a smile on the side.
"That's right, that skinny Jeff McGinnis is 20 kilograms thinner than you, make good use of your physical advantage and carry the opponent's defense to dig in!"
During the break, Richard may have been dissatisfied with Byron Davis' performance in the first quarter, and directly pointed out Byron Davis.
In the first quarter of the game, the beard's performance was actually completely acceptable, and the organization and defense were good, but Richard was not satisfied with the performance on the offensive end.
In his opinion, the bearded man has the physical fitness to crush the opposing player, but he can't make good use of it!
Opposite the bearded Jeff McGinnis, who is 193 cm tall, is actually quite a tall point guard in the league, but he is very thin, weighing only a measly 80 kilograms.
The weight of the bearded man is close to 100 kilograms, and the height of 191 is not at a disadvantage to McGinnis.
The weight of a beard is definitely not fat, but strong!
It's really strong, and in Richard's opinion, the muscles of the bearded Davis are really a miniature version of Barkley or Big Ben.
What's even more terrifying is that the explosiveness of the beard is also first-class.
This kind of physical fitness, in Richard's opinion, is like playing with McGinnis.
Speaking of the beard at his peak, it was actually this kind of hard-chiseled play, and it could even be regarded as creating a genre, tank flow point guard.
Relying on strong strength and crushing the tonnage of the opponent, the field is completely like a small tank.
In later generations, players with a similar style of play are more well-known than Deron Williams.
De Xiaopang has fully absorbed the essence of the bearded style of football, relying on his good tonnage and strength to play a world in the backcourt.
It is said that De Xiaopang eats and sleeps and beats Paul, and the reason why he can beat Paul in various ways is definitely not at the technical level......
It depends on his tonnage and strength.
Now Richard is actually not pointing Byron Davis, because even if he doesn't say it, it is estimated that in another season or two, Byron Davis will gradually develop such a style of play.
Richard was just waking Byron Davis up in advance.
With a height of 191 cm, a weight of 100 kg, strong strength, top explosiveness, and good speed, such a body has been the No. 1 position in the entire NBA history several times, and I really can't find a few.
That is, the beard was born in the wrong era, and if he was born in the point guard era fifteen years later, his achievements would probably be quite terrifying.
"Coach, I know what to do!" Byron Davis nodded.
"Good! Looking forward to your performance in the second quarter! ”
"Michael, run, you're Byron's backcourt partner, he could give you the ball at any time, and all you need to do is keep running to make sure you have a comfortable shot when you receive the ball!"
After pointing at the beard, Richard pointed at Reed again.
Reid nodded, "Okay, Coach!" ”
……
After a short intermission, both sides returned to the court.
As soon as the second quarter of the game began, the fans at the scene could clearly feel the difference between Byron Davis.
In the first quarter of the game, Davis didn't stick to the ball very much, and after the ball reached the front court, most of the offensive rounds were passes, and then he started to run and look for opportunities.
And now in the second quarter of the game, after he arrived in the front court, he did not pass the ball, but chose to carry McGinnis to the basket hard!
Like a bulldozer, with strong strength and crushing tonnage, McGinnis, who was directly pushed, retreated again and again!
Because of the back-to-back rule, it is naturally impossible for the beard to push McGinnis all the way to the basket, but even if it is just pushed near the free throw line, it is enough for the beard to make a comfortable shot.
If someone from the other side comes to help defend, the bearded man's good ability to transfer the ball can get the empty teammates as soon as possible!
After a few rounds in a row, relying on the tank-like crushing style of the bearded man, the Trailblazers played a big point difference.
The situation on the field directly made Gentry dumbfounded......
After being fired by the Pistons last season, Gentry was given the opportunity to join the Clippers this season and took over the coaching whip of the Clippers.
Originally, he was a little happy to see Richard put on such a lineup.
Richard is really righteous, isn't this a victory for nothing to the Clippers......
But after this quarter of the game, he couldn't be happy.
Richard's side really didn't use the main lineup, but even if the Trail Blazers marginal lineup on the court, the Clippers can't beat it......
Especially Byron Davis, relying on his own strength, almost sank the Clippers!
……
"Good job, Byron, this is the style you should go!" Richard happily patted the bearded man on the shoulder and praised it well.
In just five minutes of the second quarter of the game, the bearded man got 6 points and 3 assists, which can be called against the sky!
Of course, it's mainly the defensive scum on the Clippers' side......
The bearded man was praised by Richard, and his heart was sweeter than eating honey!
It's not that he didn't think about using this tank-like style of play, he used it when he was at the Hornets before.
But now it's time for the pioneers, and there's a lot of talent......
He felt that his sticky style of play might dislike the Blazers, so he began to play in the style of semi-vacancy.
Now that he was praised by Richard, he felt that he might be thinking too much......
……
Tonight is the home of the Trail Blazers, and the fans are all smiling when they see that this year's new bearded man has such a strong strength.
It's so much better than Mobley!
Mobley's offense is certainly a good level, but the key is that he doesn't have the ability to move the ball!
And now the bearded man has a tank-like style of play, the offensive efficiency is good, and the key is to do a good job in transferring the ball!
It's simply a hammer version of Ginobili!
No loss!
This deal with the Wasps, there is absolutely no loss!
Richard saw that the beard was so strong, and his heart was completely relaxed.
The Trail Blazers' bench position is no longer to be frozen.
With Ginobili and the bearded, the Trail Blazers' No. 1 position is still the top existence in this league!
