After talking to Paramount, Richard called Big Ben again, and he was the leader of the gang of sub-training players.

Richard said that next month, there may be a crew to find them to make a movie, let them cooperate, and when the movie is finished, all the people on the camera will share the five million dollars equally......

Richard's psychological expectation is actually five million dollars, and as for the extra five million, he is ready to share it with them.

Of course, it is impossible for this money to be transferred from Richard's account, it must be sent to the player by Paramount.

If the money is transferred from Richard's side, it will be lively, and Richard will probably have to be stared at by Stern.

……

In mid-August, the film officially started shooting, and Richard didn't go to join in the fun, but stayed in Portland.

Spend the day studying the lineup and tactical arrangements for the new season with Stevens Jr.

I have to say that the five newcomers harvested in this draft are not very good in defensive strength, and the best old cat Mobley is also quite at a loss when defending a tall backcourt like Kobe.

Among them, Nowitzki and Lewis, when they participated in the draft, ESPN gave the draft template for these two at the beginning, and they were all newcomers Wang Zhizhi of the Philadelphia 76ers......

And it is also the upper limit of the template Wang Zhizhi, which means that the limit of the strength improvement of these two people is Wang Zhizhi's level.

Although last season was Wang Zhizhi's rookie season, his performance was quite hot, averaging 18.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in the regular season, which is perfect......

That is, there is such a ruthless character as Duncan in the same class, otherwise, Dazhi is quite likely to win the best rookie honor.

Because after removing a Duncan, he can compete with Dazhi, that is, Keith Van Horne, who swapped clubs with Dazhi at the beginning, and Van Horn played for the Nets in his rookie season......

Van Horn averaged 19.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in his rookie season, which seems to be slightly better than Dazhi, but this guy's defense is quite bad, and it is a notch worse than Dazhi anyway, plus the team's record is far inferior to the 76ers, so Dazhi has a bigger chance of winning than Van Horn when competing for the best rookie.

Of course, now because of Duncan's existence, there is no point in thinking about this.

In addition to the hot statistics in the regular season, Dazhi's real shining point is in the playoffs, not to mention the killing of the Bulls, which is enough to blow for a lifetime, and he can average 22.3 points per game in the playoffs, which is enough to prove that Dazhi is the best rookie besides Duncan.

As experts say, Dazhi has opened up a new growth path for big players.

In this case, Nowitzki and Lewis have actually quite good draft prospects.

Nowitzki was drafted by Richard at the No. 7 spot, and as for Lewis, according to normal history, he should actually be the candidate for the Little Green House.

Officially, he felt that he had a chance to be drafted by the lotto show, so under normal circumstances, he should have been in the Little Green House, but due to participating in a Richard tryout, he was disqualified from entering the Little Green House......

Losing the qualification of the little green house seems to be quite pitiful, but in Richard's opinion, he should be regarded as indirectly helping Lewis.

……

Lewis is the first player in NBA history to be in a small green house, but only to be drafted in the second round, of course, he is not the only one, and Jordan Jr. has also faced such a dilemma.

This matter is still quite a bit of a stimulus to Lewis, and it's normal to think about it, everyone originally predicted that you could be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but in the end, only Lanxiang Technical School sent you an admission letter, and you said that you were uncomfortable......

Now that he has lost the qualification of the little green house, he was still selected in the second round, although he is definitely not very comfortable in his heart, but it is better than being ridiculed.

……

This wave of five newcomers is not very good in defensive strength, at least at the moment, it is impossible for them to take on the heavy responsibility.

Richard's team is based on defense, once there are players on the court who are not qualified defensively, even if the offensive firepower is slightly stronger, it will definitely make the Trail Blazers' on-court strength decline.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible for these five people to get into the starting position at the moment, and they can only temper and temper themselves on the bench first.

Nowitzki, the five, is undoubtedly Richard's most valued player, and when he was elected to Nowitzki, he invisibly had a sense of responsibility on his shoulders.

If you want to say the greatest foreign player in the entire history of the NBA, I am afraid that the veteran driver will get the most votes......

Now that Nowitzki is under his hands, Richard must use it well, otherwise it will be a heinous crime.

Maybe this season, Nowitzki won't get too many starts, after all, in a bad team like the Mavericks, the veteran driver has only started about 20 games......

But next season, with the departure of Rashid, Nowitzki will undoubtedly be promoted by Richard to the position of permanent starting small forward.

Some fans may wonder if Nowitzki, a historic power forward, is Richard trying to abolish him by putting him in the small forward position?

Not really......

Similar to Duncan, a center in the mantle of a power forward, Nowitzki can be said to be a small forward in the mantle of a power forward, or simply a quarterback.

Just look at his career average shot distance, and that's true.

The average shot distance means the distance a player is from the basket every time he takes an attack......

For example, the big shark O'Neal has an average career shot distance of 3.6 feet, and a foot is about 30.5 centimeters, so O'Neal's average shot distance is more than a meter......

Similar to O'Neal is Big Ben, whose shot averaging 3.9 feet......

Howard is also 3.6 feet, and the most exaggerated is Jordan Jr., which is only 1.7 feet......

For example, Duncan, who has the ability to shoot from the middle, has an average shot distance of 8.1 feet, and Olajuwon, who is similar to Duncan, is about 9 feet.

Then the style is more on the outside of the interior players, such as King Webb and Garnett, Webb is 10.7 feet, Garnett after all, iron-blooded big shots, so he has a value of 11.3!

In other words, Garnett's average shooting distance is about 3.4 meters from the basket!

Then there are two more epoch-making stars, James is 11.9, which is basically the same as Garnett.

And then there's Kobe, who should be considered a standard swingman at 14.1 feet, and Carter, a demigod, is basically at this number, he's 14.4......

Finally, look at Nowitzki, the average shot distance is 15.1 feet!

What this number stands for is self-evident......

Nowitzki is a quarterback in a big forward!
