The rookies of '98 selected by Richard have begun to develop gradually!

Nowitz shot 13-of-25 from the field, including 4-of-7 from three-point range and 1-of-2 from the free throw line, making his 31-point mark.

And Daben, who took over Xiao Ao's post tonight, grabbed 21 rebounds and 4 blocks quite terrifyingly, directly blasting the opponent's inside!

As for the first three games, Harrington, who performed outstandingly, was not as perverted as the previous games tonight, but he also scored 17 points and 9 rebounds!

Richard knew that this was probably Harrington's current true level......

I have to say that a dual-energy striker who can get an average of 17+9 data per game, and the key is a newcomer, the transaction value is simply outrageous!

If it weren't for the Trail Blazers who couldn't swallow the contract of Hawk Mutombo, Richard would even be able to trade Harrington for Mutombo!

Wilkens would never hesitate to agree!

……

It stands to reason that a big victory is enough to make Richard smile, but the news after the game made Richard a little painful.

The Suns announced the firing of Danny Ainge and the temporary role of head assistant coach as the team's head coach.

For a while, major media newspapers reported that Richard had killed Suns head coach Danny Ainge!

This is the Nth head coach that Richard has killed since entering the league......

Last season alone, four head coaches left their jobs after playing games against the Trail Blazers.

This season, without playing a few games, Danny Angie repeats the same mistake again!

Richard feels quite innocent, and Danny Ainge was fired by the Suns this season, and it really doesn't have much to do with him......

If there is anything to do with it, it is that the Suns are probably using Richard as a substitute for the dead, and they don't want fans to be dissatisfied with the management's decision-making.

Danny Anji has coached the Suns in the past few years, and the effect is actually quite good......

The Suns themselves are a super fish belly team, and they have been in the playoffs for the past two years, which has been qualitatively improved.

But their management, apparently, is not satisfied with this situation and wants to seek better results.

They don't want to think about it, is this possible?!

At the moment, there is only one Kidd in the Suns team who can get his hands on it, and the Suns don't know where the confidence comes from......

……

The reason why Richard is hurting now is not that he is behind the black pot for the Sun management, but that the reports from all sides have made Anji's face ugly, and it is inevitable that he will hate Richard.

Don't look at Angie with an angel face, the surname means angel, but this guy is a devil!

There is a saying in the Later Alliance that you should be very careful when trading with Danny Angie, because if you trade with others, you will suffer a loss at most, but if you trade with Angie, you may even lose your job......

The team management who lost his job because of the deal with Angie and suffered a big loss can make a list of A4 papers in the future.

It's no wonder that Richard can be happy to provoke such a devil......

However, the only consolation is that Richard is unlikely to be cheated by Angie in the transaction, after all, his identity as a cross-over person is not given for nothing.

……

The Trail Blazers will continue to play at home against the Eastern Conference Cavaliers.

This team is really interesting......

Because they signed a contract that shocked the whole league last offseason!

No, it's shocking the world......

Shocked the entire history of the NBA!

The management of the Cavaliers gave Big Z Ilguskas a maximum salary contract, which is exactly the same as Kobe, Iverson and others!

Some fans may wonder, is this worth such a shock?

Although Big Z is not super powerful, it makes perfect use to give a maximum salary, after all, there are many top-paid players in the history of the league, and their performance may not be as good as that of Big Z.

That being said, the top salary signed by Big Z is quite special!

Because of the season when Big Z signed with the highest salary, he only played five games, and then he was reimbursed for the season!

This reimbursement is remarkable, allowing Big Z to only play five games in two seasons!

It is equivalent to saying that Big Z has a two-year salary and has only played five games......

No one knows what the Cavaliers management thought at the time, Big Z is a rookie in '96, but before he signed the maximum salary contract, he actually only played for the Cavaliers for one season.

13.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game......

Such data can get the top salary, think about the Knights' second fool strength, may not have eased up from the Staupin era.

Of course, there must be a reason for this, such as the recognized center withering, there is no good center in the league, anyway, the strength of Big Z is still eligible to be selected as the top ten centers in the league, and the Cavaliers may have given Big Z a top salary for this consideration.

……

At the moment, Big Z is completely reimbursed, and there is one top-paid player in the Cavaliers, and that is Rain Man Kemp.

In the 97-98 season, Kemp signed and then came to the Cavaliers for 7 years and 107 million dollars.

The current 99-00 season is the last reliable season of Kemp's entire career......

To be precise, Kemp is not reliable this season, he has been getting lazier and lazier last season, never participating in team training, and even getting addicted to drugs!

After this season, under normal circumstances, Kemp was sold to the Trail Blazers by the Cavaliers, and Kemp was already fat and couldn't even touch the basket.

Now that Richard is at the helm of the Trail Blazers, will he want Kemp?!

If you kill him, you won't want to ......

There's a good chance the Cavaliers will have Camp in their hands, which is a seven-year, $107 million contract that has just been executed for three years, and there are still four years to go......

It can be said that the knights are completely cool, at least in the next four years, it will be difficult for them to do anything!

The team signed two salary caps, but one was reimbursed for two seasons, and the other was degenerated into a level that was inferior to the fringe players, so it's no wonder they can rise!

It was precisely because of the terrible situation like Camp that the league later changed the maximum salary policy, from the current maximum salary of six or seven years to a shorter four or five year cap.

Why did it change so much? The reason is obvious, and that is to prevent Camp from starting to degenerate after getting a long-term contract.

Seven years of contract!

After signing one, you basically have no worries about food and clothing......

Think about a rookie contract of three or four years, and then a contract of six or seven years, it will go down in ten years, and a player can play for a total of ten years.

After executing this six-seven-year contract, the player is basically at the end of his career, and it is difficult to get a big contract......

Many shameless players simply degenerate after getting the maximum salary contract, and they make a lot of money anyway, why do you sell so much effort?!

And if the life limit is shortened to four or five years, it can be very effective in preventing this kind of thing from happening.

Theoretically, if a player can get two max contracts in his career, at least there will not be a situation where Kemp has been a father for four years.

……

In tonight's game against the Cavaliers, judging from the alignment between Big Ben and Kemp, you can know how much Kemp's form has declined now!

A few years ago, when Camp was in the supersonics, it was really able to beat Big Ben, and even the Auburn combination that joined forces!

But now?

In tonight's game, Big Ben severely sanctioned the rain man Kemp, so that he only scored 9 points in the whole game, which can be said to be miserable!

Only 9 points were scored in 16 shots, and only one of the Cavaliers is a well-known player, as for the other players, the standard is not very good, even a skinny camel like Kemp is stronger than them......

In the end, the Trail Blazers defeated the Cavaliers by 29 points at home!

Since the start of this season, the Trail Blazers have rarely played such hearty victories, and now they have played a big victory with a difference of nearly 30 points, and the fans are also quite excited!

After this game, the Trail Blazers had a record of 7 wins and 2 losses, tied with the Lakers for the first place in the West!

As for the Spurs, they are currently 6-3 and tied with the Jazz for third place in the West......

Richard didn't pursue the regular season record at all, but the record they played was also quite impressive!

Nowitzki didn't feel very good in this game, and his shooting percentage was not up to standard, but he scored a lot, scoring 24 points.

Because the hit rate in the last game exceeded the standard a lot, the current driver's god-making task cannot be said to have failed, and we have to look at the performance of the next three games!

As for Ginobili, today is also the official start of his god-making mission.

Ginobili's task itself is not difficult, playing no more than 30 minutes off the bench, averaging more than 15 points per game, and having a double-double of rebounds and assists in one game.

Ginobili played 25 minutes tonight and scored 19 points.

……

However, the next game against Spurs was lost.

There is really no way, Xiao Ao is rested in turn, and the Spurs Twin Towers can't solve it at all.

Big Ben will definitely devote all his energy to dealing with Duncan, and the Admiral is something that no one can handle......

It is simply unrealistic to expect the current Kirilenko to be able to defend against the admiral.

As a result, Duncan did not break out in this game, and David Robinson Sr. broke out directly, cutting down 33 points and 12 rebounds, and wreaked havoc on the Trail Blazers' restricted area.

Richard is also quite helpless in this regard, if Xiao Ao is on the field, there will definitely not be such a sad situation.

From this, it can also be seen how wise he was to leave Xiao Ao in the first place......

If Xiao Ao is let go, where can Richard find an interior player who can defend the Spurs Twin Towers, and if they meet in the playoffs, if the Trail Blazers don't feel good on the outside, it is not impossible to lose to the Spurs!

In this game, the Trail Blazers had a good outside hand, but in the face of the Spurs twin towers teaming up to score 57 points and 24 rebounds, a good feel could not solve the problem.

Nowitzki scored 27 points, while Ginobili came off the bench to score 21 points, and both continued the mission!

Losing to Spurs, the fans can accept it......

After all, the Spurs are not muddy, and their strength is still quite strong, and now the Trail Blazers have taken turns to rest Xiao Ao, one of the core of the interior line, and it is normal to lose.

……

With a record of 7 wins and 3 losses, and a winning rate of up to 7 percent, Richard must be acceptable!

In Richard's view, as long as the winning rate this season does not fall below 60 percent, there is no need to worry at all.

……

The final opponent of the home tour is the Golden State Warriors.

The morning after the game between the Trail Blazers and Spurs, the Warriors released their latest official announcement.

They fired their own head coach Adelman!

This news still made Richard quite nervous, he had a good relationship with Adelman, and he must have felt bad to see the old Adelman fired......

Speaking of which, in fact, the Warriors' management can be regarded as benevolent, and the Warriors' record has been very unsatisfactory in recent years.

They built the team according to Adelman's team-building ideas, but they never hit anything, so it's no wonder they can continue to put up with it.

Adelman can't be blamed for this, the Warriors faced a massive injury wave last season, Brad Miller was out for nearly half of the schedule, and before the season started, Jamison was out due to injury, resulting in their current record of only 3-7.

……

But before Richard could finish feeling sorry for Adelman, about three hours later, the Kings released the latest news, they fired their head coach Eddie Jordan, and then brought in Adelman to join and become the team's new head coach!

……

Originally, Richard was still hesitant to call the elder Adelman to see if he would like to come to the Trail Blazers as an assistant coach......

However, this matter is a little inappropriate, Adelman is a veteran coach, and Richard is suspected of insulting Adelman if he makes this call.

Now there is no need to worry about Adelman, people will naturally find their next home.

……

The Warriors were quite unlucky, Jamison was good, but he had injury problems in the first two years of his career, and he only played half a season, and after surviving the first two seasons, the situation improved.

The current Warriors are in a difficult time.

After the night's game, the Trail Blazers won another big victory!

Victory is not the main thing, the main thing is that Nowitzki's god-making mission is completed!

"Congratulations to the host, the target player, Dirk Nowitzki's primary god-making mission, has been completed!"

"Mission completion of 125%, reward the target player with 2 points of extreme speed attribute!"

"Due to the overcompletion of the task, the host will be rewarded with a Flower Shifting Wood Pill!"

Richard was dumbfounded, good guy, this grafting pill is really poisonous, and the appearance rate is simply high, which is a bit scary!

You need a pretty good character to use this Flower Transfer, otherwise, there will be a situation like the original one, and it took dozens of attributes to successfully transfer!

However, at that time, Richard's lucky rating in the attributes of coach was only 50 points, and now he is looking to break 60......

Maybe if you use this graft pellet in the future, the chance of successful transfer will be higher.

……

"Let's take it first, maybe I can use it in the future!"

"Big Ben definitely can't use it now, it's too risky to use this thing, and his 96-point rebounding attribute is enough!" Richard pondered in his heart.

In Richard's opinion, this grafting pill is quite cost-effective for some blue-collar centers.

Players in other positions, even if they don't need to be all-round, have a high demand for attributes, unlike blue-collar centers, who have a lot of attributes that can be transferred.

For example, outside blue-collar workers, even if they are blue-collar, need to shoot the basketball, and it is impossible to have no baskets at all......

Famous outside blue-collar workers, such as Bowen, Robertson, Beverley, Ragabel and others, all have three-point baskets.

……

After the home trip, it was followed by another wave of three consecutive away games.

And in this wave of away games, there is also an old opponent of the Trailblazers, or an old enemy.

Utah!

The day before the start of the game, Richard directly mentioned Xiao Ao from the injury list.

Playing any team, Richard can lose, but the Jazz.

As long as he is in this league for one day, as long as Utah does not leave the team, the Jazz will not want to win from his Richard!

Of course, taking out Xiao Ao is also thinking that he can make Ginobili more comfortable to complete the task.

Richard's move made fans from all sides laugh and cry.

In this game against the Jazz, there was no conflict, but it still disgraced the Jazz.

Because in this game, Trail Blazers substitute Ginobili played 29 minutes and scored 0 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists!

He has more rebounds than Karl Malone and more assists than Stockton......

After the game, Richard naturally couldn't help but taunt the Utah doubles, saying that they were not as good as the bench players in the Trail Blazers!

This almost blew up and down the jazz.

But they are completely against the Trailblazers and have nothing to do!

It is impossible to fight, it will never be possible, the consequences are too serious......

Besides, even if there are no consequences, then you can't fight, because you really can't beat it!

Although the Trailblazers have gone with the big villains Rashid and Bowen, now there is a small villain Artest......

Artest just returned from suspension a few days ago, and in the game against the Jazz, he was directly put into the starting position by Richard to defend Stockton.

……

The Trailblazers who attacked with all their might, the Jazz was naturally difficult to resist, and finally lost to the Trail Blazers by 18 points!

……

In the blink of an eye, the October and November schedules are over!

The first most valuable honor of the new season is also hotly released......

Kobe Bryant, the core backcourt of the Lakers team, who is currently at the top of the league's record list, won the first Player of the Month of the new season!

With a super record of 18 wins and 6 losses, plus a crazy data of 29.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, winning the Player of the Month is simply well deserved.

The Lakers are really a bit of a scary force right now, and if it weren't for the Trail Blazers' all-out winning record last season, they might have been hailed as the only team in league history that can wrestle with the Bulls.

It's mainly the inner and outer core of their team, which is really a bit too strong!

In addition to Kobe's terrifying statistics, O'Neal has averaged 30.2 points, 13.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game this season, which has also shocked the league!

This season's O'Neill is really staring......

Except for the rebounds and blocks, which are slightly less than the career highs, the other statistics are career highs!

O'Neill is under a lot of pressure right now!

On the one hand, there is external pressure, although he is known as the most dominant inside line in the history of the league, but at the moment he has a championship or no championship, and an MVP without an MVP, many fans have ridiculed him for being empty.

On the other hand, there is the pressure given by the internal Kobe!

The young Kobe Bryant gave O'Neal a sense of crisis, and he had a hunch that if he didn't work hard, the Lakers would not be his O'Neal boss in the future......

Even now, Kobe's popularity in Los Angeles has surpassed O'Neal's!

Under internal and external pressure, it's no wonder that O'Neill doesn't work hard!

And Kobe Bryant is naturally quite desperate, and he is also very stressed......

It's just that this pressure comes from himself!

He desperately wanted to prove himself, to prove that Richard had made a huge mistake in letting him go!

He's going to lead the Lakers to a championship this season and make Richard realize what a huge mistake he made!

The inner and outer cores are starting to work hard, it's no wonder that such a team is not terrible!

The 18-6 record has helped the Lakers sit at the top of the league's record list, while the Lakers' biggest rivals this season, the Trail Blazers, seem to be weak, and now after the end of the month and a half schedule, they are not playing the same strong momentum as last season.

With a 16-9 record, they are currently in third place in the West, just one win more than the Jazz, who are fourth in the West.

……

As for the honor of Rookie of the Month, it was won by Bulls champion Brand!

Last season, the Bulls had the league's bottom-to-bottom record, and this season they improved their record to eighth place in the East.

In the one-and-a-half-month schedule of Brand, Brand averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds per game, which was very highlight!

The interior combination he and Rashid form is almost the best interior combination in the East at the moment.

The only thing that gives the Bulls a headache is that their outside players are too poor......

Otherwise, at the level of the Bulls, they could be aiming for a top-four spot in the East!

Ranbir also approached Richard the other day to see if he could trade a player from the Trail Blazers, such as Mobley, Mobley and Mobley......

Richard thought about it, but finally didn't agree, the Bulls really didn't have any chips to attract Richard.

Moreover, Mobley is still quite useful, and he is a very important firepower point in the Trail Blazers' backcourt bench lineup, and Richard will definitely not be able to sell Mobley for favors.

……

At least until the end of the season, Richard is not prepared to make any changes to the team's roster.

Even if there is a trade, it will definitely be at the end of the season.

……

The day of the Christmas war is getting closer and closer.

Whether it's the Trail Blazers or the Lakers, they're all holding back their energy at the moment, and they all want to defeat each other in the Christmas war!

In fact, this year's Christmas War is a departure from the past.

The previous Christmas battles were all matchups between the top teams in the East and West, which can be seen as a preview of the finals......

This year, however, the situation is different, with two teams in the same district playing a Christmas match, after all, everyone knows that the East is basically unlikely to win the championship at the moment.
