Since the injuries of Roy and Aldri, especially Roy, Trail Blazers head coach Nate Mike Milan has no hard requirements for the team's record.

Even if there was a request, it would not have been possible with the Trail Blazers' lineup at the time.

Nate McMillan is ready for a dip in the team's record.

Even when Roy later returned to the Cavaliers game, he thought it would take a long time for Roy to regain his game.

But he didn't expect the chemistry between Roy and Wang Dachun to be so good, and in just one game, the cooperation between the two was very skillful. This gave McMillan hope for improvement.

He just wants to improve the team's record again.

In the next few games, Nate McMillan focused basically all of the team's shots on Roy and Wang Dachun.

And the time to keep the two on the court is getting longer and longer. It's starting to be a little inconsiderate of the physical state of the two.

However, it was too conservative in the use of other starters and rotation players for the Trail Blazers.

Among the starters, no matter whether Juwan Howard can run or not, whether he can carry it or not, play the first half first, no matter whether Maltai is stable or unstable, he basically has to accompany the whole court, which can be said to be the main force.

Rotate players for less. Except for Bayles. Anthony Toriv, Joel Wai. Didn't use the other substitutes much.

After a few games like this, the first person who couldn't stand it was Wang Dachun. He finally increased his strength a little. As a result, I am now in a more tired state than before.

If the team's record is good, Wang Dachun feels that his insistence on persistence will be over.

Played 4 games. The result was 1 win and 3 losses.

It was the result of his and Roy's best efforts.

Coupled with Wang Dachun, through data display, you can see who in the team has a good data value and whose data value is poor.

If the data value is good, you can't play the ball, and the data value is poor, and you can't play the state.

Coupled with the team's deteriorating record, he and Roy are getting more and more tired to play. I just want to make some changes.

This may also be Wang Dachun's growth during this period of time, after he was the temporary team boss for a period of time. Perceptions and ideas are different from what they used to be.

He talked to Roy about his thoughts on increasing player rotation and making some adjustments to the starting lineup.

His idea was agreed with by Roy, who was also tired during this time. I think Wang Dachun's idea can be tried at all.

So the two gave their advice to head coach Nate Mike Milan.

But Nate McMillan has his own coaching philosophy. The opinions of the two were not listened to.

The two couldn't convince the manager to change his mind. I can only endure it for the time being.

Can return to the home court, after the game with the Rockets. completely aroused the anger of the two of them.

The two tried their best to score 60 points together. The teammates combined for 21 points. There's also Andre Miller's 13 points.

After the game, Wang Dachun didn't have time to express his feelings. He didn't expect Roy to explode first.

And it was a stabbing outburst, bluntly accusing his teammates of being like dead people on the field, and they couldn't shoot goals when they had the chance.

Under Wang Dachun's persuasion, Roy calmed down.

The two finally decided to quietly go to the general manager, hoping that their general manager would make some changes to the head coach.

……

"Change, what do you think should be changed? After all, Nate is the head coach, he has his coaching methods, and I, as the general manager, can't interfere too much, his use of the players! ”

Kevin Plitchard was a little embarrassed, although what his two leading stars said also made sense. But it's not that easy to do.

If it is not done properly, it may cause conflicts within the team. This is what he does not want to see.

"Mr. General Manager, it's not that you have to make a change, but we want you to find a way to convince Coach Nate to try the change we're talking about.

Just try it first, and it might only take a game or two to see if what we're saying works. ”

Roy hopes to convince Kevin Pritchard to listen to them and help them.

"Okay, I can try it, what kind of adjustments do you want to make?"

Kevin Pletchard finally agreed, after all, the team's record has indeed been getting worse and worse during this period.

"Wang, tell me your opinion, I heard you say it last time, and I still think it makes sense." Roy said to Wang Dachun.

"Okay, Mr. General Manager, let me ask you a question first, I see that Batum has been training with the team, when will he officially return."

Batum didn't officially return to training until the middle of the month after picking up an injury last season. But there is no definite time for a comeback.

"Batum's injury is no longer a problem and he should be ready to play." Kevin Pritchard explained.

Wang Dachun listened to the words of the general manager and was slightly relieved.

He's already seen Batum's stats, and they're a lot better than Malte.

"My opinion is that Andre Miller continues to play as the team's starting point guard and Blake plays as Miller's backup.

Rudy Fernande was put in the rotation and replaced Bayless as Roy's replacement.

The starting small forward removed Maltei and replaced him with Batum, making Maltei Batum's backup.

In the position of the team's power forward, before Ade returned, Almi Johnson, who had just been traded, was made the starting power forward, and Juwan Howard and Anthony Toriv were used as rotational substitutes.

I don't have to change on my side, and I'm only Joel on the bench anyway.

The offensive power of such a starting lineup is definitely quite strong, and it should be even stronger than now.

On the bench side, Blake can lead the team to become the team's sixth man, plus Fernand's projection and Joel and Torif's defense on the inside, at least the bench can stabilize the score when the starting lineup is rested. ”

Kevin Pritchard listened to Wang Dachun's advice. couldn't help swallowing his saliva, he needed a little time to digest it, although he didn't know what Wang Dachun was based on to make such a lineup, but he also felt that what Wang Dachun said seemed to make sense.

……

After coming out of the general manager's office.

"Wang, isn't it good, what you said this time is much more detailed than what you told me last time, I can't see that you really have the demeanor of a master tactician." Roy said teasingly.

"What's the style? I'm just worried that we'll lose too badly in the next game against the Mavericks, so I'll just go into more detail! Wang Dachun said helplessly.

"Yes, No. 30 is going to play the Mavericks at home, do you need me to give you all the shots in this game?" Roy asked.
