The 2009-10 season ended after the Celtics defeated the Trail Blazers 4-1 to re-win the O'Brien Cup. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At the North Shore Garden Arena, every Trail Blazers player was in tears, knowing that it was a blessing for an injury-plagued team to get this far, but there was always an indescribable feeling when they fell closest to a championship. Behind them, there was a spray of champagne, a fluttering paper flower, and all they left for Boston was their backs.

It's also fortunate that this is the opponent's home stadium, otherwise it would be even worse to witness the opponent being crowned champion on his own turf, right?

However, unlike the players, the management was overjoyed with the team's performance this season, which completely exceeded their previous expectations. McMillan understands the mood of the team's hierarchy, so he can comfort everyone in his frustration because there is still hope for the team next season. The reason is simple, such a young team already has the strength to challenge for a championship, and the attraction of other veterans and superstars is unparalleled. While winning a championship is a daunting task, it's not hard to build on the runner-up finish, especially with the Trail Blazers' salary space not small.

Among the team's four core players, Roy and Aldridge have renewed their contracts in advance last summer, and the team has offered them 5 years of 82 million and 5 years of 65 million respectively, and Ye Feng and Oden are still in their rookie contracts. Roy, Aldridge plus Camby, who came to shoot in the middle of the season, the Trail Blazers are the only three people with an annual salary of tens of millions next season, and the other players are only a few million dollars, and they can be directly signed as free agents or traded. In fact, as long as there are no injuries, the Trail Blazers' four core players can remain very competitive, and if they really want to bring in a superstar, they may need to shoot one of them.

Although the Celtics, the opponent of the Finals, set a precedent for the league to win the championship, no team has learned from them in the past few seasons, and directly brought superstars who are still in their prime to be placed in the same team. Some people may want to say that the Lakers' F4 back then, but one thing must be admitted, whether it is Malone or Payton, they both came to the Lakers at the end of their careers to hug the thighs of the "OK combination" in the hope of mixing a championship ring. It can be seen from the personal data that in the 2004-04 season, Payton averaged 14.6 points, 5.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game, and Malone scored 13.2 points and 8.7 rebounds. As for the veteran's thigh, this has been around for a long time and is not worth mentioning at all.

If there are really supergiants interested in the Trail Blazers, the management will not bring them in, after all, joining a Young Guard is not a group, and it will not cause an uproar in the basketball circle. If someone wants to make a fuss about the Trail Blazers' record and height, then there is no way, who makes the team basically full of young people? The logic of young people playing well to reach the finals and attracting superstars to join them to take it a step further!

But as the head coach, McMillan still has brains, and now the team's chemistry is good, there is no need to bring in supergiants, maybe it will affect the atmosphere of the team. In addition to the necessary draft, he wanted to add some depth to a few positions, and the injuries to Roy and Oden became a thorn in his heart. Camby has two years left on his contract, and he can continue to play for the team, whether as a substitute for Oden or as a starter for the team, Camby is very suitable, as long as there is a passable fourth center, Purzbilla is good, but what if he gets injured again?

Roy's bench is a big problem, and McMillan has had to put Batum at the No. 2 spot in the playoffs, as the team has basically no player other than him who can play as a shooting guard, let alone replace Roy. McMillan hopes that Batum can return to the No. 3 position and become Ye Feng's replacement, as he has been doing before, and then arrange a defensive player behind Roy, and the strength must be passable, in case Roy is injured, he can immediately start the game, which will test the level of management.

After the finals, McMillan immediately made a report and handed it to management, which was his analysis of the team's roster, detailing which players could be traded, which players must stay, and what types of players the team needed. As the head coach who brought the team to the finals, the management still took his opinion very seriously, and after getting the report, general manager Pritchard immediately held a meeting to evaluate it and ordered his subordinates to start recruiting players as soon as possible, in his opinion, this is the key to whether the Trail Blazers can go further.

But all this has nothing to do with Ye Feng, he is just a player, just follow the coach's command to play well. After attending the team's farewell party this season, Ye Feng flew straight back to Los Angeles, where he now needs a break. Although he is still young, he has played more than 100 games this season, and no matter how good his health is, he is a little unbearable. It was completely necessary for him to take a small vacation, and summer training didn't start from the moment the season ended, but well, he still had to pay attention to his diet as always, so he could only salivate at the sauce elbow made by his mother.

Ye Feng vaguely knows the team's plan, although there is no specific content, but as long as the team has this heart, he is full of expectations for next season. Anyway, the Trail Blazers' luck this season is really bad, and the continuous injuries have made Ye Feng feel a little helpless about Portland's nickname, and "Tear City" doesn't sound like a good name. But it doesn't matter, as long as everyone stays healthy and doesn't suffer from serious injuries that often miss dozens of games, the Trail Blazers will still be very competitive and may be able to improve their regular season record next season.

Of course, other Trail Blazers players think the same way, which is a good thing, after all, they are still young, and being young means that they have a lot of time to challenge for the championship, if it is a twilight team like the Celtics, maybe a championship failure will make the whole team fall apart, right?
