Chapter 234: Pauline's Thoughts on the Wizards' Future
For the first time, Pauline wavered about Kwame's future dominance, and heard some rumors in the League. After the league further restricts big players with finishing ability in the three-second zone, and there will be new strong rules for outside offensive players, Pauline is also confused about the future construction of the team!
"If you want this team to succeed, Arenas and Jerry are the ones you have to give up, and the future model must be like the Lakers dynasty, where there are no three players on a team who need a lot of ball-handling offense, and the Lakers of 00 years ago have proven that it is impossible to achieve real success!"
"Kwame's desire to win is visible to everyone, ruthless enough to himself, ruthless enough to his teammates, this kid can pose a big enough threat to his closest friends for the team's victory, and he is very unhappy with the championship he won when he was injured."
"He works as hard every summer, and he's definitely not a player who just plays a few rounds of the playoffs and gets satisfied! Every defeat will be a shame for his struggle, and he also shows his all, if the team can't set their sights on the championship every year, I can guarantee that this kid will be the first to stand up and express his strong dissatisfaction! ”
"But we already have Carter! The year after tomorrow is the salary signing period for this guy of yours, will you just want a middle-class contract for the sake of the championship? That's a joke, plus Highwood's contract of about five million, Kwame, you know, what will be the salary of your main team in the future? ”
"If this continues, our Wizards will be the next Mavericks, but how much will we make this season? Not to mention the rest, only after Gong Feng left. The Chinese community in Washington has not come to the sidelines on a large scale to watch, and those Chinese fans who supported Washington in the past actually cheered for Gongfeng when he returned to his home stadium? I really didn't take into account this sense of collective honor. ”
"I'm not a stingy guy, but I can only promise to try my best to find a new guy for our team. But there is one thing, the team must not be a burden to me, at least to maintain a balance between income and expenses, the Wizards cannot have a garbage contract of tens of millions like the Knicks, and Washington does not have the spending power of New York! ”
"In this season's playoffs, I think that's pretty much it! Just hope this team hasn't lost hope for the future! Otherwise, I'm going to be really disappointed, and of course the Lakers this season will be the object of my observation, and I want to see how far the Lakers with two superstars can go in the future? ”
Pauline, who had said these words silently, turned off the television. Ignore the fact that the Wizards still have five minutes to play.
Although Arenas wants to become a shooter in this series, in essence, Arenas's offense needs to have the ball in hand, which is no different from Bow Peak, except that Bow Peak can organize his own team to win, while Arenas uses his own offense to win.
Carter and Arenas are the same on this point! That's a big selection problem for the Wizards!
But Pauline found the same. The defensive ability of these two individuals is not very strong as that of Kwamei. The two of them can only try their best to defend against the Knicks, but they never think about how to strengthen their own defense.
Although the future of the league will be based on offense, defense is a fundamental part of ensuring victory, and a team can still have a solution to one man's defensive holes, but when the two core attackers have some defensive bad habits, it is not something that Kwame can solve. You know, there's no team that can win a championship without a strong defense from the outside.
According to this line of thinking, if the Wizards want to win the championship, they must give up two of the three offensive points, and bet that one of them can average more than 20 points per game, and this scoring ability can be obtained in the regular season and playoffs as well.
Then you need an outside defender who can match the strong scorer. The ability of the forward line to assist in defense must be there, and the ability to score three points must also be there, and the inside line with Kwamei is ...... Heywood was up to the task, but no one could refuse a better one.
Doesn't that sound easy to get? But look at the whole league, even a team like the Lakers doesn't have more and better options, and some people from some teams are definitely suitable, but those who have three points and defense are the treasures of their respective teams, who can easily trade with you?
It's just to trade some players, but can this be compared to the current Knicks? Without a strong bench team, how can you play against the Knicks players led by Jay?
Unless...... It's just that Pauline thought of the price he had to pay for it, shook his head and directly rejected the idea, and the possibility of real operation was too low.
So the Wizards can only make up their minds from the rookies, this year was a good year, but unfortunately due to Kwame's overdraft-like efforts, the Wizards have always been a fringe team in the playoffs, and the draft ranking must be low, although it attracts Carter to defect, but normally, this is an overdraft of the team's future trade, and Kwame's contract is a time bomb.
There is a reason for this season's failure, and if it is still the case in the next season against the Knicks, the Wizards will have to face a difficult choice question in the future! A question no more than who is left between Kwame and Bow Peak.
"But Gong Feng's luck has always been good!" Thinking of this, Pauline could only shake his head helplessly, not thinking about these boring things.
……
The Knicks players who came to Washington the next day as a big guest came to the stadium in the afternoon to train and adapt to the venue!
Gong Feng looked at the familiar field, and couldn't help but sigh, and after receiving a pass from the assistant, he immediately threw one! The basketball is shot straight into the ...... in a beautiful arc Gong Feng is still so familiar with everything here!
Three years of rookie career, three years of playoff here, starting to get his first glory from this playing field, also leaving from this field, and then doing everything to get a victory, the third year to come here, but to shatter the future of the Wizards!
This is a more tortuous process than imagined in the novel!
Looking at Gong Feng's expression that seemed to be much more silent than before, Mill smiled but didn't care, before the game, Gong Feng, sentimentality was already a habit of him, but as long as the whistle sounded for the game, Gong Feng would become more eager to win the game than anyone else, let alone in Washington's home stadium, directly facing the wizards who abandoned him?
Sure enough, after the opening, Gong Feng showed a very strong desire to score, which is not comparable to the first two playoffs, and Gong Feng in Madison wants to open up his teammates at the beginning stage, so that he can play better, that is, the daily core point guard mode, but in the first quarter of this game, Gong Feng is the offensive core of the Knicks team!
An offensive core that no one really thought of, Gong Feng's average score in the first two games was only 15 points, you must know that in order to ensure a big victory in the game, Gong Feng's playing time is the longest 37 minutes among all the main forces!
Second, Ray Allen's average playing time is only 34 minutes!
Of course, this has a lot to do with Gong Feng's offensive play, a defender who is not the main scoring point, but just needs a lot of running, and it seems to consume more brain power to organize the guard, and the physical strength consumed is definitely not a lot.
But as soon as today's game opened, everyone could see the tightening of the Wizards' team, and the Wizards could only bet at the beginning of the game, betting that the Knicks' outside line was not accurate, especially when the two players on the inside could not be opened!
Before Mir called a 20-second timeout, Gong Feng was on the outside.
Arenas' defense of the bow peak is generally at the best defensive distance, not particularly close and not particularly far, this is a way to be extremely confident in his own defense, and it is also a way to rely solely on his own defense, that is, the Wizards believe that Arenas alone can form an effective limit on the bow peak.
Under normal circumstances, in the face of Arenas' defense, Bow Summit chooses to break through directly, and then in the process of the Wizards' defense, most of them choose to pass the ball and complete a set of tactical drills.
Or Gong Feng and his teammates block and dismantle, jump up and shoot after taking a step forward, of course, Gong Feng has few options for this item, only when the Wizards defend his passing route, he will jump directly and choose a dry shot.
Or after completing the pick-and-roll, read your own side's movement in the short process of breaking through the tall man, or use a throw with a time difference, hit the board, or even a non-dominant hand shot after a feint, or complete other tactical assignments, Gong Feng generally chooses this way.
