Chapter 130

Bowen's joining is undoubtedly very satisfactory to Richard!

Especially in the backcourt defense, Richard is not satisfied. Bowen and Kobe are not the same. He is similar to Big Ben. At present, he is in the golden age. There is no problem in physical fitness. What he lacks is NBA experience.

Given a little more playing time, Bowen's defensive ability will gradually move towards the peak.

But even Bowen's joining, the lineup tends to be more perfect, also unable to change the fact that the Blazers are a new army.

The players are too young. If these players are all third graders, Richard is really confident that he will break his wrist with the bulls in the playoffs this season

But now a group of new melons and eggs, want to defeat the bull, no doubt too difficult.

However, the Blazers' lineup is extremely stable. After this season, at least in the next two years, there will be no large-scale replacement of the team's lineup.

So, if Richard really wants to do something in the pioneer, the next two years are the best time!

Missed this wave, Richard wants to form such a set of lineup again, but it is very difficult.

……

Next, the Blazers will have a wave of four home games.

This time, the schedule is rather intensive. There are four games to play in a week, including even two back-to-back games.

There are strong and weak opponents, the first two games are the eastern fish belly nets and raptors, the third game is the western team Houston Rockets!

As for the fourth game, Richard is really looking forward to it.

Indiana Walker!

If we talk about the strength of the Pacers in the last season, Richard will take this new set of soldiers to play Pacers, and the chances of losing are almost 80%!

But this season, things are different.

The Pacers' situation is quite similar to that of the Cavaliers. After they lost to the sixth hawk in the first round of the playoffs last season as the third in the East, the team morale has changed a lot this season although the lineup has not changed.

The team has no motivation. Last season's regular season record was so good that it didn't even break through the first round. What's the work of this season?!

It's better to break a jar

Then, with the team's lineup unchanged and no core injuries, the walkers fell directly from third place in the east to tenth place in the East

Do you believe that?!

This also shows how "powerful" Larry Brown's coaching ability is from the side!

In this competition, Richard dare not say that he has the assurance of winning, but he also has the assurance of winning 60%!

……

The contradiction between Richard and Larry Brown is not only understood by Indiana fans, but also understood by the whole United States!

Before Richard entered the NBA, he even said he would not win a championship in Larry Brown's coaching career.

Now this old one small two head coaches, will soon fight!

What an exciting moment, it's a week before the game starts, but the whole basketball circle has been promoting this event

This game, no matter who wins, has a huge topic!

Richard lost?!

That's wonderful. At that time, Richard and other West Lafayette people vowed to enter the NBA and teach Larry Brown a lesson, but they lost the first duel to Larry Brown, how to teach?! It's more like getting into the NBA and being taught

And if Larry Brown loses

That's even more wonderful!

Don't forget that Larry Brown didn't even have the qualifications to be an assistant in the NBA!

What if Larry Brown loses this fight?

I'm afraid that Larry Brown is a pure mouth gun. He said Richard is not as good as an assistant, but you can't even do Richard who is not as good as an assistant. What's more, Richard leads a complete new army!

All the fans are looking forward to the start of the game!

Although the game will not look good, after all, the Pacers are now 3-4, the Blazers are only 4-3, the two teams in the league, are very mediocre!

But I can't stand gossip

After the game, Larry Brown and Richard gossip, enough to let them chat for a week.

……

The day before the game against the nets, Richard called on the players for team training and played a team training game.

Now there are more and more available players in the team, especially with Bowen joining, Richard feels that only one starting lineup is definitely not enough

Some teams are good at fast-paced games, such as the suns.

Against such a team, Bowen is undoubtedly a good choice to replace Rasheed or Robinson.But if Bowen starts, the problem is

Bowen's attack is really not strong, the peak season of his career is only seven or eight points per game.

What's more, his free throw is a nightmare. As a 3D player, his free throw hit rate is more than 50%

Even because Bowen's free throw is rotten, there has been a cut Bao tactics.

That's probably why Popovich once defined Bowen as an empty 3-D player

Richard would not change Bowen's style cleverly.

With the style of most teams in the league now, it's impossible to get three-point shots in the vacancy. In this way, Bowen can't make up for Rasheed or Robinson's offensive firepower output in the next game.

In this case, it is necessary to come up with a set of No. 2 starting lineup!

Big Ben and Rashid play center and power forward respectively, Robinson returns to the position of small forward, Bowen and Kobe are playing in the backcourt.

Of course, O'Neal and Big Ben can keep the inside line. Rashid can play as a small forward and Robinson can be substituted

But this arrangement, the team's offensive firepower will certainly decline, the defensive end is not necessarily better than double Wallace to play the interior.

Only as an alternative.

Besides, Robinson is a good man indeed. Even if Richard asked him to stay on the bench, he would have no opinion

But it's not nice to deal with a player with an average of 20 points, who has played in the League for so many years in the golden period, and let others give way to new players.

Saberness abdicated because he was too heavy.

……

In the team's training match, Bowen showed quite good defense consciousness and defense skills. Although he is not top-level now, compared with Kobe Bryant, it is much better. After all, he is seven years old, which is not good.

Richard's No. 2 starting lineup was unanimously supported by the coaching team.

The backcourt problem of the team has been exposed for a long time. Now with Bowen, the No. 2 starting lineup is undoubtedly the best solution.
