Chapter 123

West American stadium!

The stadium, which can hold 18000 people, is the home stadium of the suns.

Both players are warming up. Richard is chatting with Jerry hiding, the sun's chief assistant, on the sidelines

Hidin, an alumnus of Richard Purdue University, had a chat at the NCAA's victory dinner.

"Li, this team you built looks really good..."

"It's OK. After all, it's a group of young people. I'm afraid God knows how far they can grow in the future!" Richard replied with a smile in the face of hidin's elevation.

"No, if someone said that, I must feel reasonable, but you? Man, you are the God of NCAA... "

"These young people you choose, I can guarantee, will definitely become the mainstay of the alliance in the future!"

Richard grinned and felt quite comfortable when he was flattered.

……

But when the game started, Richard couldn't be happy because their trailblazers were losing all the time

Definitely not because of the away game, but because the Suns team restraint.

The three teams that trailblazers played against before won because of their poor quality and slow rhythm!

But now the sun's lineup is not weak, plus they are the future players for the attack core, all kinds of fast break, which makes the Blazers very uncomfortable!

Look who the Suns have in the backcourt

Kevin Johnson, an All-Star point guard, is stronger than the original pioneer's star in charge of flying. After retiring, he was nominated as hall of fame candidate at the same time as Big Ben and McGrady, which is enough to show the strength of this player!

This guy is at the peak right now!

Michael Finley, that's right, the poor Jordan who was hammered by a boiler man at NCAA

Rex Chapman, who stole apple, is a point guard with an average of about 15 points. His strength is quite good!

The reason why it's said to steal apple is that after the goods are retired, they run to Apple stores to steal things and are caught

Wesley boson, the second grade point guard with an average of 13 points!

Under the leadership of Kevin Johnson, the top all star player, these attacking players are fast enough to fly. Even if the sun is not a running and rushing tactic now, they are too big for the pioneers

Kobe Bryant vs. Kevin Johnson, the effect is not ideal!

It can be said that now Kobe's defense, for those old, sick and pregnant

Seems not pregnant, anyway, for such a player, Kobe's defensive threat is very big!

But for the peak all star point guard, the 18-year-old Kobe Bryant is at a disadvantage.

By the end of the first half, Kobe Bryant had his fourth foul

In the fourth quarter, with half of the game time left, Richard replaced the team's main force, replaced the pure substitute team and gave up the game.

Lost!

This is the first official game that Richard lost after crossing, not counting the preseason!

This feeling is very uncomfortable. Anyone who is used to winning will not like the feeling of failure.

It only exists in novels. Under normal circumstances, it is masochism for those who are full of support to seek failure

"If you don't lose all the time, are you still human?" Richard took out the words he used to comfort Dazhi and comforted himself

……

The team lost and the problem was exposed!

That is to say, players are all big men. Facing the smart team, the defensive side suffers a lot.

Richard is not ready to find reasons for his defeat in this game. He is totally incompetent.

The hotel where the team stayed.

The coaching team is analyzing the reasons for the loss of the game.

"Our current lineup, the malpractice is still very big, such lineup can only let us enter the playoffs!"

"But after entering the playoffs, it depends on the other team's face. If they actively choose fast break, our result will be the same as today's, and will be blasted!"

Today was really beaten, lost 17 points!

Four Vajra assistants nodded their heads. Richard said that this problem was not discovered on the first day. It was discovered from the day when the lineup was built

Of course, they can send small players like Trent or Childress on the bench, but the defensive effect is bad, even worse than that of big ones!

As for veteran Curie, he didn't rely on defense at his peak, let alone his age.

……

But if the problem is found, what can we do?

A well defended backcourt is not a kind of roadside wild vegetable. You can take it if you want.

Besides, just defending well is not enough.A certain amount of offensive firepower is needed, otherwise, the offensive firepower of the Blazers will be greatly affected.

Originally, their main output point was three anti-aircraft guns. If they took down one, they would have subtracted one third of their firepower points!

The price is too high!

"Carlisle, when it comes to recruiting bottom paid players, let's go first. You and Stevens help me find someone!"

Richard thought for a moment, then said to Carlisle and Stevens.

"I don't know exactly where the player is. I just read about him in a local newspaper before!"

"He should have played in Europe in the last few years..."

"It's Bruce Bowen. You can find him as soon as you can!"

The malpractice of the team's lineup must be made up!

But through the transaction, it is not realistic

Richard is reluctant to exchange valuable chips. If he wants to exchange worthless chips for a strong defensive player, he has to have a certain level of offensive backcourt player by the way. That's a dream!

So Richard couldn't help but focus on Bruce Bowen!

To be exact, Bowen is not a backcourt, but a standard forward, but he is generally the core backcourt player of the opposite side on the field, so he will be generally classified as a backcourt player.

He clearly remembers that Bowen was in the league in the 96-97 season. He only signed a ten day contract with the heat and had no ball to play after only one game.

So Bowen is not in the League yet.

Richard was going to let the heat find Bowen. Anyway, the heat only gave Bowen a ten day short contract. When the contract was over, he signed Bowen with a guarantee contract

This is undoubtedly the most time-saving and labor-saving approach.

But not now. Richard can't wait.

We must get Bowen as soon as possible, otherwise, their next schedule will be very difficult

The Suns easily beat the Blazers. It's hard to ensure that other teams have the same knowledge. The Blazers send out unconventional starting lineups to play fast break with the Blazers

And if Bowen gets it, it's two more things.

Bowen has developed very good defensive skills in Europe. Now he is 25 years old. He is a mature player. He can use it directly!

The key is not only good defense, but also a good three-point goal!

This is the best puzzle of the trailblazer team

And it's still a very cheap puzzle
