Clark's 30+15+5 data directly detonated the basketball circle early the next morning.

There were still many fans who suspected that Richard's original comments about Clark were big words.

Is it deliberately disgusting Bucks as well as George Carr......

But now it seems that it is not.

Zeon Clarke is really what Richard calls a super insider, as long as he plays under Richard, he can immediately play super performance.

With 30+15+5 data, there are really only three or two centers in the league today who have a chance to play.

Although the opponent is a weak chicken, even if it is a weak chicken, it is not easy to play such data.

Clark himself was already crazy, and such data was something he could never have dreamed of before.

……

At the moment, great hope is rising in the hearts of Pistons fans.

Nash is extremely tough, good both offensive and defensive, and after half a season, he has already shown a level comparable to Kidd.

Although the defense is still not as good as Kidd, the offensive end is much better than Kidd.

In this case, Nash really has the potential to shake the name of the No. 1 point guard in the Kidd league.

Of course, in the selection of the league's No. 1 point guard, fans generally cut Iverson......

At least more than half of the fans see Iverson as a player at the quarterback position.

At present, there are four quarterbacks in the fan base......

Kobe, Iverson, Maddie and Carter.

These four are the strongest quarterbacks in the league today, and of course, Ray Allen, for example, is not bad.

……

Nash played at almost the level of the league's No. 1 point guard, while Clark played at the league's top interior level as soon as he returned.

Looking at the posture of the Pistons, it is definitely the rhythm of the rise.

Many fans feel that maybe this season the Pistons will soar into the sky and reach the finals!

……

But in the next few games, just when fans thought that the Pistons would take advantage of the victory to chase after Clarke, and take advantage of the hot momentum of Clark's comeback to hit the top four positions in the East......

Richard unexpectedly rested Nash.

Nash rested this round, and the entire Piston was completely messed up......

As a result, in the next ten games, the Pistons only got a tragic 2-8 loss!

……

Richard's move is almost an announcement that the Pistons are going to swing this season.

Of course, he can only show in action that the team is going to mess up, and he definitely can't openly say that he wants to mess up.

The league does not allow team management or players to publicly say that the team is going to be bad, and if they are caught, it will definitely be a heavy penalty.

Mark Cuban did this kind of thing, publicly announcing at a press conference that the Mavericks were going to be rotten, and as a result, he was fined hundreds of thousands of dollars by the league.

Richard naturally couldn't hit this muzzle, anyway, it's not a glorious thing to mess up, just mess it up secretly, and everyone knows that there is no need to do it.

……

The results of this year's All-Star voting are already hot.

Only 0 Nash on the Pistons got a chance to make the All-Star team, and of course, as a substitute.

The main reason is that the East currently has backcourt players such as Iverson, Kidd, Maddy, and Jordan, and even if Nash's data is outstanding this year, he can only get a bench spot.

At present, Nash has played more than 40 games, averaging 21.2 points, 9.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game, which is still quite gorgeous.

With such a data, it is quite normal to be selected as an All-Star.

It's just that Nash became the only seedling of the Pistons to be selected as an All-Star this year, which made Richard a little disappointed.

Back then, when he was with the Trail Blazers, even in his first season as coach of the Trail Blazers, Richard had two All-Star players under his hands.

One is Xiao Ao, and the other is Kobe.

Among them, Xiao Ao is also an All-Star starter......

But now the Pistons have only one Nash entering the All-Star, which really makes Richard a little painful.

This can be regarded as breaking Richard's personal record......

In addition to Nash, in fact, speaking of Clark's data, he is also eligible to be an All-Star.

In the dozen or so games after his comeback, in addition to scoring 30+15+5 data in the first game, in the remaining games, Clark also got an average of about 15+10+3.5 data per game!

It seems that it must have shrunk a lot from the first game, but even such a statistic is actually a proper All-Star level in the East.

The main reason is that the competition for centers in the east is not fierce, and the first center and second center in the league are in the west, and O'Neal is two.

On the eastern side, there is obviously no such strong competition, the former league's third center Mourning, who was diagnosed with a serious kidney disease last season, although this season is said to be a comeback.

However, the combat power is far from what it used to be.

So far this season, the average data of 15+8+2.5 per game is really not as good as Clark's data.

As for Clark's other competitor, Uncle Mu, this season's average of 11+10+2.4 per game is also inferior to Clark.

It can also be seen from this that Clark's strength, in a short period of time, he has a faint momentum of the first center in the East.

The No. 1 center in the East is really not lifting Clark.

Because whether it is from the data or from the performance on the field, Clark really does not lose to Mo Ning and Uncle Mu.

After all, one of these two is severely ill with kidney disease, and the other is old......

As for other competitive center players in the East, such as Camby, who averaged 11+11+1.2 steals + 1.7 blocks per game, such as Dameng, who joined the Raptors this season, only averaged 7+6 data per game.

Anyway, the inner line on the eastern side has not been very strong.

This was the case from the time Richard entered the league, and it hasn't changed until now.

For example, the four centers, O'Neal, Big Dream and Admiral are all in the west, and there is only one gorilla Ewing in the east.

……

When the four centers are all old and only O'Neill remains, it is obvious that the center is withering.

Although the west side is stronger than the center in the east, it is actually the big and small O'Neal who are supporting the scene......

After removing the league's first center and second center, Divac, who averages 11+8 per game in the West, can be the boss.

……

Although Clark already has the momentum of the No. 1 center in the East, he has played too little in the All-Star games this year.

Therefore, he also failed to be selected as an All-Star this year......

It is quite embarrassing to have the title of the No. 1 center in the East, but he was not selected as an All-Star.

And Richard knows his position as the No. 1 center in the East, and it is estimated that he can sit for less than half a year......

Because Yao Ming is coming, when Yao Ming comes, not to mention the first center in the league, at least he has to grab the position of the first center in the east first.

……

However, this year, the Pistons only had one Nash selected as an All-Star, which is a good thing in Richard's view.

Because Richard can't coach the Eastern All-Star this year, if a lot of people make it to the All-Star, then Richard will lose a lot of All-Star light.

After all, only when a player plays an All-Star Game for the first time and has to lead the All-Star team with Richard can he get the All-Star Light.

It just so happened that there was only one Nash this time, so that Richard didn't lose too much of the All-Star light.

When the Pistons start to work hard next season, there will definitely be many players selected as All-Stars, and others dare not say that Yao Ming and Clark, Richard will definitely be an All-Star.

……

After the All-Star Game, the regular season schedule is already two-thirds over, and the next step is about to enter the final stage of the regular season.

At present, the Pistons are ranked 11th in the East, which is almost completely cut off from the hope of entering the playoffs.

After Nash's rotation ended, Richard gave Clarke a rest again, and a fool could see that Richard didn't want to win anyway.

If the pace continues, the Pistons will definitely be a lottery team this year.

Those Pistons fans, in fact, are quite anxious at the moment, not that they can't make the playoffs.

They can also see that Richard has the meaning of being bad at the moment, and they also know that Richard has quite strong ability in the draft.

If the hem is rotten now, I may be able to get a strong player next year.

What fans are really worried about is that the Pistons' current record is still not bad enough, and it is estimated that such a record can get the top 10 picks.

If you want to get the top three picks, you'll have to be lucky.

What fans hope for most now is that Richard can be more shameless, be able to completely mess up, and strive to make a top-three record in the league......

……

This season, Richard is actually in the process of swinging, more of the four veterans who reused the Pistons.

Well, the purpose is naturally to fatten, and I'm ready to sell it when the time comes, and see if I can get any chips like draft picks.

In the '03 draft, the Pistons had a decent draft pick, and one from the Grizzlies could be a pick.

There's also a first-round top-10 protected pick from the SuperSonics......

As for his own draft picks, Richard sold them to the Trail Blazers in the three-way trade for Nash.

Richard expects those two picks to pay off quite handsomely.

As for the '02 draft picks, the Pistons only have their own draft picks at hand, one first-round and one second-rounder.

Yao Ming was selected in the first round, and Boozer was selected in the second round......

It's enough, and of course, if these Pistons veterans can sell for a good price, Richard may also pick a few more rookies in the '02 draft.

For example, Prince, Matt Barnes or Scola are not very high-picked, and if there are rich draft picks, they will definitely not lose money.

……

If you want to continue to build the Trail Blazers' extravagant roster in the Pistons, it will certainly not be possible.

Because the number of stars produced each year in the future is much lower than in the late 90s.

It's quite difficult to put together a lineup of more than 10 All-Star players......

However, some players, although they have not been selected as All-Stars in their careers, can play a role that is not necessarily lower than that of All-Star players.

The best example is Ragabel, at least in Richard's opinion, after Ragabel grows up, even if he is given an all-star player, Richard may not be willing to change.

Some All-Star players look like they have glamorous statistics, but in fact, they are useless, silver-like pewter heads.

For example, the Ma political commissar, the data is really gorgeous, but if you want to say that the Ma political commissar will be exchanged for Ragabel, Richard may not really change it.

First of all, Commissar Ma's contract is too big, and Richard feels quite uneconomical.

Secondly, the offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency of the Ma political commissar are not as high as Ragabel, and it is estimated that it is difficult to play the role of Ragabel on the field.

……

Of course, the Suns can't be stupid enough to trade Marbury for Ragapel.

……

Yao Ming has already negotiated with the person in charge of the Shanghai team, and now the CBA league is about to enter the playoffs, and by the time the regular season is over on the NBA side, the playoffs on the CBA side will almost be over.

If everything goes well, Yao Ming will be able to come directly to the United States to meet Richard.

The draft registration deadline was the end of April, and Yao Ming did not dare to delay, and directly submitted his draft application form to the NBA official.

In fact, if Yao Ming participates in the draft a year later, there is no need to sign up for the draft, and he doesn't even need to submit a draft application to the league to get the draft qualification directly.

The main thing is that there are two ways to go in the NBA draft, the first is to automatically participate in the draft, and the second is to voluntarily declare.

If you are at least 19 years old, there are four situations that can be eligible for automatic candidacy, one is to complete four years of college.

Playing four years in the NCAA, even if you don't sign up for the draft, is automatically eligible for the draft, and teams can use the draft pick to select the player.

Duncan, for example, satisfies this rule......

The second is that the United States has graduated from high school for four years, which is actually similar to the first condition, even if you don't go to college, as long as you have graduated from high school for four years, you can still qualify for the draft.

The third is to sign with other professional leagues and play football.

Of course, this rule only applies to domestic players, and there are separate rules for foreign players.

Bowen, for example, is eligible to enter the NBA because of this condition.

Every player who enters the NBA must go through the draft, which is a mandatory process.

Some players appear to be in the league without going through the draft, but that's because they've already automatically qualified for the draft, but they just weren't drafted......

Essentially, they are undrafted.

As for the fourth condition, it is valid for foreign players like Yao Ming, and foreign players who have reached the age of 22 are automatically eligible for the draft.

At present, Yao Ming is not yet 22 years old, but it is almost 22 years old, and he will be 22 years old in half a year......

When he is 22 years old, he will automatically qualify for the draft without having to declare.

Speaking of which, Birdman Anderson is actually quite miserable......

When he was participating in the draft, he either felt that he met the qualifications for the draft, or he didn't know that the draft had to be voluntarily declared to the league, so he only publicly announced that he was going to participate in the draft and did not submit a written application to the league......

As a result, he didn't get the draft that year.

As a result, after playing in the CBA for a period of time, he met the third condition of the automatic draft and qualified for the draft.

……

Yao Ming does not meet the conditions for the automatic draft at present, so he naturally has to take the initiative to declare.

After the declaration is successful, it means that Yao Ming has truly become an NBA reserve!
