Chapter 835 - All-Stars Without Suits
With the departure of Rondo in the new season, Brother Alphabet was naturally promoted to the starting lineup by Richard, and he also played the No. 1 position.
In fact, apart from Brother Alphabet, Richard doesn't have any good starting No. 1 candidates at the moment.
McCollum could play the No. 1 spot, but he wasn't a good fit to play in the starting position, and he was better suited to play as a backup for Antetokounmpo and Thompson.
As a result, Richard has Gobert, Green, Leonard, Thompson and Antetokounmpo at his disposal.
After a season of training, Brother Alphabet's shooting skills have improved slightly, but the improvement is not large, because Richard is limited to the means of scoring on the inside, so Brother Alphabet's current average points per game is not high.
But even so, fans and experts from all walks of life can see an amazing potential from this big man.
With such a terrifying height, he was arranged to the No. 1 position by Richard, and the key is that in addition to not scoring much, all other aspects are remarkable, and I can't find any major faults.
At present, Brother Alphabet has become the tallest point guard player in NBA history, think about Sun Yue's height before he can play a good offensive efficiency in the No. 1 position, Brother Alphabet's height is higher than Sun Yue, and his physical fitness is better than Sun Yue in all aspects, if he can practice baskets, what a terrifying player this must be!
The most terrifying thing is that this player's learning ability is quite terrifying, and the first half of last season was not outstanding, but in the second half of the season, he directly incarnated into a big man Rondo, and his rebounding and assist statistics were slowly rising.
What many fans don't notice is that the taller the taller, the better it is for passing, because of the tall height and good passing vision.
But why are most point guards small players? That's because the small man is fast and has a low center of gravity on the dribble, so he is not easy to lose the ball and make mistakes.
If there is a big man who has both speed and ball control, it is actually a good material for playing point guards, because he is born with a much better passing vision than a short point guard.
Apparently Brother Alphabet is such a player......
Under normal circumstances, that is, the old monster Kidd among the point guards, knows this very well, because his size was actually a tall point guard in that era, so without saying a word, he put Brother Alphabet in the No. 1 position, but he didn't expect to explode into a miracle effect, directly making Brother Alphabet among the league's first-line stars.
Now Richard lets Brother Alphabet play point guard, in fact, it is just picking up people's teeth, if there is no Kidd's way out, I am afraid that even if Richard gets Brother Alphabet in the draft, it is estimated that he will put him in the No. 4 position, or even put him in the No. 5 position.
Because under normal circumstances, who knows the true meaning of a point guard as deeply as Kidd? Who would have thought that this big man could play point guard.
Richard couldn't have imagined it anyway.
If this is the case, Brother Alphabet may be completely discarded by Richard......
……
The Clippers' starting five Tigers directly played a frightening super record at the beginning.
And the Spurs, who are also strong in the West, also got rid of the pretending death of the previous two seasons and began to rise.
In the first two months of the game, these two teams both played a winning rate of more than 80%, which is really amazing.
In the Christmas war at the end of December, Xiao Hua unexpectedly made a special one this time.
According to tradition, the Christmas war is a duel between the eastern and western heroes, but this time Xiao Hua let the regional heroes fight the Christmas war.
In the East, the Cavaliers played against the Pistons.
On the Western side, the Clippers vs. the Spurs.
The reason why there is no Hornets in this Christmas game is because the Hornets are really having a hard time right now.
Durant's injury to the Finals last season has almost cost him this season, at least not yet.
The Hornets currently sit fifth in the East, and it seems like the Hornets haven't had such a bad start in years.
In the years when Richard was there, it is needless to say much, and after Richard left, in fact, the Hornets were also the first in the Eastern Conference every year......
Now that they're only fifth in the East, you can imagine the pressure on Jordan.
But he couldn't help it, at that time, he could only choose to renew the contract season reimbursement of Durant, because several times in the entire league, players who can be stronger than Durant can not exceed the number of slaps.
With Durant, they still have the hope of winning the championship, and if they don't renew Durant's contract and sign another star casually, Jordan knows that the Hornets will be completely finished, and there will be no chance of a championship.
……
The Cavaliers' Big Three easily eliminated the Pistons in the Christmas game this time, announcing to the whole league that they are now the dominant team in the East.
And the Christmas game on the Western side was not unexpected, and the Clippers won against the Spurs.
It's just that Richard won quite unhappily, because Duncan did not play in this game, and the Spurs used Capela to replace Duncan's position.
It can be seen that Popovich's adjustment to Capela is still quite powerful, although Capela's performance in this game was suppressed by Gobert, but it did not reach the point of being exploded.
Although he won against the Spurs, Richard always felt uncomfortable and did not win well enough.
Duncan wasn't there, so winning didn't mean anything.
As long as Duncan is in the league for a day, Richard will never despise Duncan, even if his hair is already graying.
……
In mid-February, Richard finally got his wish to lead the team as an All-Star.
This time, Richard made a slight move to let Leonard win the All-Star MVP, but to Richard's disappointment, in the end, the system did not give any hints of the new suit, and Richard just received some famous point rewards.
Richard sighed, if there is no new suit, it will be gone, which is a good thing for himself.
Think about the previous supergiant suit, I entered the league in 96 and didn't get it until 14 years, which took 18 years!
And this time, if a new suit appears, with Richard's collecting habits, it will definitely have to be collected as much as possible, which is estimated to cost Richard countless years.
And Richard was already planning to retire at the age of 60, and he didn't want to wait until he was seventy or eighty years old and still agonizing about raising suits.
Richard was relieved that there was no new suit, and probably he didn't want a new suit himself.
It's just that I feel a little sorry for Li Jin, but if you really want to say that a bowl of water is even, in fact, Richard's contribution to Li Jin is not small.
The value of the height growth elixir alone is incomparably huge, and it is not too much to say that it is a prop that is enough to change one's life against the sky.
Not to mention anything else, if this height growth pill is used by Thomas Jr., then Thomas Jr. may really become the strongest star in the league.
Now Richard not only used the height growth medicine for Li Jin, but also prepared a big gift package for Li Jin.
Li Jin's harvest will not be less than that of Li Bit.
