Chapter 134: The Pacers Substitute Who Jumped Out
After winning the Fish Belly Nets, the Trail Blazers' next opponent is the Toronto Raptors!
Although the game was still won, it was not easy to win......
With three minutes left in the final game, the Trail Blazers were only three points ahead!
In the end, it was Big Ben who stood up at the critical moment, blocked the flying squirrel's attack that burst to the basket, and after blocking, he also got the ball, and finally narrowly defeated the Raptors.
Last season's Raptors were undoubtedly the belly of the fish......
But this season, after they selected Marcus Camby in the draft, their strength has improved, of course, the improvement is not too much......
6 wins, 3 losses!
Because the Lakers haven't started their next game yet, their record is still 5-3, resulting in the Trail Blazers' Western standings becoming the fourth place in the West......
The Lakers are fifth!
The entire league was shocked, who would have thought that the Trailblazers, who were thought to be going to be bad at the beginning of the game, would play such a terrifying record!
6 wins and 3 losses, that's close to 70% of the winning rate!
Even if most of the Trailblazers' opponents are fish belly, such a record is quite amazing!
For a while, Richard once again set off a heated discussion in the league!
Everyone knows that the Trail Blazers can still play such a crazy record in the case of completely tearing down and rebuilding, relying on Richard's selection vision that is enough to make God jealous!
Take a look at the players Richard has brought in this season, every single one of them is a great value for money!
Even Bowen, who picked up the leaks from the Europa League after the start of the game, has appeared in two games recently, which is also amazing.
If Kobe's current defense is a mad dog defense, then Bowen is a big mad dog......
He's even crazier than Kobe!
Only if you have lost can you know how to cherish it, there is no doubt that Bowen, the undrafted pick, knows very well the preciousness of his current three-year guaranteed contract!
In the past three years, if he can play out and occupy a place in the Trailblazers, then his future is bright!
At least three years later, there will definitely be teams looking for him to sign......
But if he didn't play in the past three years, then the future would not be very good, maybe he stayed with the Trail Blazers for less than three years at all, and was laid off by the Trail Blazers......
So, he can only fight!
Due to the ambiguity of his position, he may need to compete against Rashid, Robinson or even Curry Sr. on the bench!
These three people, no matter which one of them is, are more valuable than him Bowen!
Only by working hard can he keep his future!
Lack of offensive ability with the ball? Bad free throws? It doesn't matter, you still have defense!
Every time he comes on the court, even if it's just two or three minutes of garbage time, Bowen is desperate to defend, and will never let the opponent get any comfortable opportunity to shoot!
Many people's impression of Bowen may only be that he had a broken foot that day, and ignore Bowen's own strong defensive strength!
The stump of the feet can't be washed at all, but if you want to say that Bowen will only have crippled feet, this is biased!
Being selected to the All-Defensive First Team for five years in a row and the All-Defensive Second Team for three consecutive years is not just for the Black Feet.
……
For Bowen's desperate defensive attitude after his debut, Richard is naturally very satisfied!
The $1.7 million is worth it!
Especially when Bowen and Kobe Bryant are on the scene at the same time, these two seem to be competing, and the defensive end is crazier than the other, which is completely that kind of neurotic stalking!
……
Now the whole league is talking about it, such a crazy new army may not have much breakthrough in the playoffs this season, but what about next season?!
Next Season?!
Newcomers can grow much faster than players in their prime......
Who can say how far this new army will grow at that time!
Will it be like Richard in the NCAA, dominating the entire league!
Will they reach the kind of alliance status that can fight the bulls on a par with them, or even overthrow them?!
No one can say badly!
Now we have to wait and see!
……
The current performance of the Trailblazers has made Richard enjoy countless praises!
But discordant voices will always pop up from time to time to find a sense of existence!
This discordant sound is coming from the Indiana Pacers......
What Richard didn't expect was that it wasn't Larry Brown or their team's big man Reggie Miller who couldn't wait to jump out on the Pacers' side!
Larry Brown is learning wisely now, and he doesn't open his mouth without the certainty of winning Richard.
What if you lose this upcoming showdown?!
Isn't it ugly to scold Richard......
But if he wins, then Larry Brown will be able to stand up, and the winner will have the right to speak!
As for Reggie Miller, he was too lazy to deal with these bullshit things, he was recruiting Richard for Larry Brown, and Richard was unwilling to give Larry Brown as an assistant coach, and then Richard and Larry Brown tore apart, and this matter had nothing to do with him Regie Miller, and he only got involved when he was full......
Besides, now he doesn't feel very comfortable watching Larry Brown.
The contradiction between him and Jordan is known to fans all over the world, and he naturally wants to make the playoffs, overthrow the Bulls, and then humiliate Jordan......
But now look at this season's record, let alone overturn Jordan, it's good to be in the playoffs!
There has been no change in the lineup at all, and there has been no injury to the main force, the record is rotten like this, the head coach is not to blame, who is to blame? !
In fact, in fact, this season is indeed Larry Brown's last season in charge of the Pacers!
After playing this season, he was fired directly by Larry Bird, and Big Bird himself took over as the team's head coach, more similar to Popovich's operation......
It's just that Popovich is going to be rotten, and Larry Bird is going to be strong!
After Big Bird took over Larry Brown's mess, he led the team to the second place in the East in the first season!
……
Larry Brown didn't jump out, Reggie Miller didn't bother to get involved, and this time jumped out of the bench for the Trail Blazers.
Jalen Rose!
This name will definitely not be unfamiliar to old fans, although the strength is not good, but in some major events in the history of basketball, there is a figure of this goods!
First of all, this is one of the Michigan Five Tigers, except for Chris Webb and Juwan Howard, he is the best of the five Tigers......
The Michigan Five Tigers are undoubtedly the most topical presence in basketball history.
Secondly, in the 2000 Finals Lakers vs. Pacers, Jalen Rose was responsible for defending Kobe, and in the second game of the series, the black foot caused Kobe Bryant G2 to leave the court with an injury, and the game only played a total of 9 minutes, scoring 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting......
It also caused Kobe Bryant to miss the finals G3.
This round of the finals has also become a black spot in Kobe's career, although the Lakers still won the championship in the end, but the finals scored 2 points in a single game, and the statement of lying down to win the championship and blacksmith came out......
In fact, if there was no Jalen Rose, Kobe's trip to the Finals would not have been so pitiful, in the first three rounds of the series before the Finals, Kobe's shooting percentage was placed in the position of quarterback, which can be called the top!
Again, it's still Kobe Bryant's business, and there must be more fans who know about it, when Kobe Bryant scored 81 points against the Raptors, the player he was against was Jalen Rose!
In the end, this was almost the most unbearable for Richard......
This product is in the old American TV show, and it is publicly said that Yao Ming is not worthy of being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Even the original words are not only unworthy, but also have no qualifications to connect to the Hall of Fame......
This is simply provoking the endurance of Chinese fans!
Whether Da Yao is good or not, and whether he is qualified to enter the Hall of Fame, this domestic fan can just talk about it himself......
But when an outsider says this, the Chinese people will definitely not accept it!
It's like you always say that your child is naughty and mischievous, but others point to your nose and say that your child's tutoring is not good, no matter how good-tempered the person is, it is estimated that he can't stand it!
