Chapter 364: Want Maddie?! (Monthly pass 2300 plus more)
Rebounding king, block king, best defensive player, best defensive team!
The first two Big Ben are already in their hands, and the last two are in Richard's opinion, Big Ben is at least ninety percent sure that he can get his hands, because there is really no one who can compete with Big Ben!
The only one who can threaten Big Ben in DPOY is Mourning, the Heat's big boss.
However, Mourning's defensive efficiency value is not as bright as Big Ben's, and his block statistics are second only to Big Ben......
The key is that Big Ben is inspirational enough, and the second-round show plus his short height will definitely be more inclined to vote for the more inspirational Big Ben when voting.
After all, who doesn't love inspirational typicals......
Secondly, the Trailblazers' all-win record is another pretty powerful plus!
Winning all seasons is not too much to give any kind of honor!
On the whole, Big Ben definitely has a much better chance of winning DPOY than Mourning......
As for the defensive first team, Mourning and Big Ben have little competition, because Mourning plays center, while Big Ben is a big forward.
Competing with Big Ben are the Spurs' Duncan and the Timberwolves' Garnett, both of whom are also very good defensively.
But at the moment, they still have a gap compared to Big Ben, and they can only compete for the best defensive second team at most.
……
Kobe Bryant, although he only finished second on the scoring list and second on the steals list, he actually has a good chance of getting a heavyweight honor this season.
Regular Season MVP!
With an average of about 27 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game, coupled with a record of winning all seasons in a single season, if such a result does not win the regular season MVP, then it is estimated that Richard will take the lead in making trouble......
It's not yet time for the honor to be released, and what is in front of them is to pass the supersonic level first!
It's actually not very appropriate to say that the pass, after all, the gap between the supersonic and the Trailblazer is there.
Even if the SuperSonics can win one game at the hands of the Trail Blazers, then their playoff game this time will be a great success!
On May 7th, at the Rose Garden Arena, the first game of the playoffs of this suspended season began!
As one might expect, the Seattle SuperSonics were dwarfed by the Trail Blazers, who couldn't even make it to the fourth quarter of the game, let alone win it.
In the end, after the Trail Blazers switched to a pure bench lineup in the fourth quarter, they still won by 18 points.
Glove Payton is still spicy, this game cut 22 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, under his defense, Kobe did not get too many shots, and in the end Kobe only scored 21 points!
At present, Kobe Bryant only scored 21 points in the playoffs, which is definitely out of order......
From this, you can also see the defensive power of Glove Payton, which is worthy of being a man who can affect Jordan!
But only the glove Peyton was powerful, but it couldn't save the situation of supersonic being hung at all.
Wenbeck, who was exchanged for Rain Man Kemp, is already almost in a half-ruined state......
In previous seasons, Wenbeck could still play an offensive level of about 20 points per game, which is considered a first-line power forward in the league, but this season Wenbeck only averaged 13 points per game.
And in the first game of this playoffs, Wenbeck was defended by the Auburn combination and only scored a pitiful seven points!
The second leader of the team only scored seven points, and the supersonic lost not wronged at all!
The first battle was easily won, and the Trailblazers showed great strength.
Richard watched the game with a headache.
It's not a headache because of the results, it's a headache because of the upcoming offseason!
It's the playoffs now, and the offseason is still far away......
By the time the offseason comes, many of the players in the team will go their separate ways, and Richard will only have two players left, and his headache now is who to keep......
Bowen aside, he's certainly not a max-paid player.
Of the remaining four, the four Oben Lako are the absolute top salary level, and the salary cap for next season is about $34 million!
Richard can sign a maximum salary of two and a half if he is fully calculated......
Emotionally and intellectually, Richard is inclined to sign the O'Oben trio, but the key is that there is not enough salary space.
Among the three O'Benben, if Richard is really selected, he may give up Kobe Bryant and choose to sign Auburn.
It's not that Kobe Bryant is not strong, on the contrary, Kobe is the strongest player on this Trail Blazers team......
But the difference between Auburn and Kobe Bryant is that the two of them are irreplaceable.
This means that there is no replacement for them in the league......
In today's era, without the support of interior players, it is simply too deadly, how to play Spurs when the time comes? How to beat the Lakers?
The Trail Blazers can't find a replacement for Auburn, and other teams do, but they definitely won't sell it, and each of them is a big leader in the team.
Like Garnett, like Duncan, like O'Neal......
A little inferior, such as the Philadelphia 76ers' interior combination, can be used, but the key is that it is useless, and it is the regular season support scene when it comes to the Western finals, or it will be beaten by the Spurs or the Lakers.
The main reason is that the interior line is withering in today's era, and the whole league can find two or three interior lines with defensive intensity like Big Ben.
And Xiao Ao, an inside line with good offense and defense, can only find two or three......
Once the two are gone, where does Richard go to find a replacement player.
As for Kobe, there is actually a replaceable, even if you find a weak replacement, as long as you are not beaten by others, you can maintain the strong competitiveness of the Trailblazers.
At present, Jackson, the martial saint in the Trail Blazers, can actually be regarded as a replacement player for Kobe.
Even Richard could bring in some players who have not yet played through trades, such as Maddy of the Raptors......
The current Maddie's trade value is quite low, and if Richard takes a Harrington in exchange, he may even exchange it alone.
And Maddie has good offensive ability, good organizational ability, as for defense......
Maddy's defense is underestimated, in fact, even if his defensive strength is not as good as Kobe, the gap is not big, in the last season of the Raptors, that is, next season, he can average 1.1 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, which is already quite terrifying.
Very few outside players can get 1.9 blocks.
This season is Maddy's second year in the league, averaging only 9.3 points per game, and Richard doesn't have to spend much if he wants to get Maddy.
The main reason is that Maddy's position has a slight overlap with Carter, both of whom are players who need the ball in their hands, and if Richard were to trade Harrington or Lewis, the Raptors would definitely agree to it......
Harrington and Lewis are both strong power forwards with strong offensive ability, and both can play off the ball, which is a perfect complement to Vince Carter, and the Raptors will not agree unless they have their brains in water.
