Chapter 700: Iverson joins the Pistons

In the second half of the game, Richard felt that Yi Jianlian might feel that his behavior of occupying a lot of the ball would cause dissatisfaction among his teammates, so he began to focus on the organizational end.

Although Harris is a point guard, his passing and control ability is actually not on the table, let alone compared with Rondo and Paul, and even Curry's organizational ability is better than Harris.

Now that Yi Jianlian has started to hold the ball and play the inside as a playmaking point, Harriston feels a lot more relaxed, and he can focus all his energy on the offensive end.

Richard couldn't help but nod when he saw Yi Jianlian's performance, after binding the Milicic template, Yi Jianlian's ability has changed dramatically.

It's just that he is not domineering enough, if it is left on Richard, he probably will not be like Yi Jianlian, who began to focus on the organization side when he felt overwhelmed.

But even so, Yi Jianlian may start to rise in the future, as long as he can continue this brilliant performance.

Yi Jianlian in this game is similar to Milicic in the Buccaneers' first championship season.

belongs to the role of the core of the interior, this role is simply too important for the team that lacks top point guards, and fully meets the irreplaceability that Richard said, from now on, Yi Jianlian will become the most irreplaceable player in the entire Nets team.

Harris is not irreplaceable, there are actually many point guards like him in the league, with average passing and control ability, low offensive efficiency, and poor defense, nothing too outstanding.

And Carter, a demigod and a demigod, is actually not irreplaceable, and the current Carter is actually a downhill player in his career.

This season was the last season of Carter's career with an average of 20+ per game, and Carter's average points per game continued to decline, from 20 to 16, and from 16 to 13, and then it was simply a substitute for the team......

The old quarterback, who averages 20.8 points per game, is not particularly valuable in this league, and a young interior player of 13+8 may be able to change it.

And at the moment, if Yi Jianlian can play the level of Milicic, even if it is almost meaningful, his value will be quite amazing, maybe old Carter and Harris together are not as valuable as him.

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.

At the end of the game, the Pirates didn't win much tonight, only 13 points, but this was a game that the team did not use all their main forces to play, and the home fans at the scene were already extremely satisfied.

Yi Jianlian scored 31 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block tonight, which simply stunned all the players on the court.

It is not so easy for a player at the power forward position to get a triple-double, at least in this day and age.

Milicic is an outlier, he can easily get twenty or thirty triple-doubles in a season, and now the outlier may have one more basket.

There is no doubt that this is the most perfect game played by Yi Jianlian since he entered the league.

Even under normal circumstances, Yi Jianlian was reused in the Bucks, and he never played such luxurious statistics.

Under normal circumstances, Yi Jianlian's best stats in his rookie season are 29 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, which looks pretty good.

But compared to tonight's 30+ triple-doubles, there must be a big gap.

As soon as the game ended, Yi Jianlian rushed directly to Richard.

"Coach, I did it!" Yi Jianlian's excitement in his heart now can be imagined, he was just poured a wave of chicken soup by Richard before the game, and as a result, he played such an amazing performance in this game.

"Well done, kid, keep up the good work, the position of the future boss of the Nets belongs to you!" Richard patted Yi Jianlian's arm and said with a smile.

Carter is old, Harris does not have a high ceiling, and Yi Jianlian, who is bound to Milicic's template, will not take long to become the leader of the Nets.

How strong Milicic is, Richard knows best in his heart, that is, in the pirate team with a cloud of strong, Milicic's statistics are not particularly strong.

If Milicic is put in a garbage team, with him as the core, and let him brush up on the data, Richard feels that it should be very possible for Milicic to cut an average of 30+10+7 data per game in a single season.

Now that Yi Jianlian has bound Milicic's template, and he is in a team like the Nets, he can't think of bad data.

Next season, Carter will be traded away by the Nets, and the Nets may be Yi Jianlian's world at that time.

"Well, coach, I'll work hard to make the playoffs this season!" Yi Jianlian nodded solemnly.

He envied Yao Ming and Dazhi very much, and even Sun Yue, who had been playing as a substitute in the Pirate team, he was very envious.

But as long as he can continue this performance, he will not have to envy them in the future, and he will become the leader of a team like Yao Ming.

After the game, the head coach of the Nets looked confused, the team lost, he didn't care much about this, they Nets want to win the pirates? Let's wash and sleep......

What he was confused about was Yi Jianlian's performance tonight, which was really a little incomprehensible.

Fools can see that Yi Jianlian's performance tonight is almost a perfect replica of the Pirates' leading power forward, Milicic......

Although the contract price of Milicic is not high, his value is amazing, and there are at least 20 teams in the league, and they are willing to build a team with a player like Milicic!

And now Yi Jianlian, who has his own hand, has become a player of Milicic's level? For a while, he couldn't accept it......

However, in just one game, he didn't know if this was Yi Jianlian's extraordinary performance, so he could only observe it slowly in the next game.

……

In the next few games, although Yi Jianlian did not play tonight's 30+ triple-double, his state was also extremely brave, and he even won the honor of Player of the Week in the recent week.

Nets fans are going crazy, Yi Jianlian's outburst came at the right time, they already didn't have much hope for the Nets, and since Kidd left, the Nets have been completely reduced to fish belly.

But I never expected that Yi Jianlian, who was bought from the Timberwolves at a low price, would be so powerful, it was simply a strengthened version of Kidd on the inside offense.

The Timberwolves are now repentant, Yi Jianlian's performance in his rookie season is completely scum, they don't look down on Yi Jianlian at all, but no one expected that Yi Jianlian suddenly began to break out this season.

The magnitude of this burst is quite amazing, not the kind of burst that goes from 1 to 2, but a super burst from 1 to 10.

Originally, Yi Jianlian's value was only 1, but now as long as Yi Jianlian can continue this super play, his value can reach 10!

It's normal to think about it, the original Yi Jianlian, in terms of value, it is no exaggeration to say that 10 is not as good as one Milicic.

No team would have the brains to sign 10 of the previous Yi Jianlian......

……

Richard saw that Yi Jianlian was a mixed up, and he had a sense of accomplishment, at least the current Yi Jianlian really gained a firm foothold in the league.

But the next piece of news made Richard sigh heavily.

The Pistons made a deal with the Nuggets, and Iverson and Billups swapped owners.

The deal came a while later than normal, but it did happen.

After joining the Pistons, Iverson's career has almost come to an end.

The four players who entered the league with Richard were Big Ben, Iverson, Raheem and Miller.

Raheem retired directly after winning the championship with the Pirates last season, but he did not leave the basketball circle, but joined the Pirates' coaching staff as an assistant coach under Richard.

Normally, Raheem joined the Grizzlies' coaching staff after retiring......

Raheem's playing career is now completely over, and Miller is almost over, and if nothing else, Miller will be faced with no ball to play at the end of the season.

It may not even take the season to end for Miller's contract to be bought out.

Needless to say, Richard will definitely take it, and at least let Miller get a ring to make his career without regrets.

The first West Lafayette player to enter the league was Brent Barry, who had already won championships with the Buccaneers before retiring.

The same is true for Raheem in the back, and the same will certainly be true for Miller next......

Only Big Ben and Iverson were left.

Big Ben is in good shape right now, because of the iron plate combination attributes, he is still in good shape, and he is not wandering in the league as he normally would.

Under normal circumstances, after Big Ben was sold to the Bulls in 06, it actually looked a little downhill, and then after being sold by the Bulls to the Cavaliers in 08, the decline was already relatively obvious.

And now, although Big Ben is not in the best shape of his prime, he still averages 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, and he is the Lakers' interior defensive gate.

Such a big book will definitely be able to play for a few more years.

And Iverson was obviously not so lucky, this time he was sold to the Pistons, and his career really came to an end.

Richard sighed, these players who entered the league with him are either retired or on the verge of retirement at the moment, which is really uncomfortable.

Although Richard knew that this day would come sooner or later, when this day came, he still felt a little unacceptable in his heart.

……

The introduction of Iverson by the Pistons must also be thinking about improving the team's offensive firepower, you must know that Iverson still averaged 26+ points per game last season, and he is still the top attacker in the league.

But this recruitment was actually quite a failure, and Iverson was not compatible with the Pistons' system, which ultimately harmed the Pistons themselves and Iverson.
