Chapter 176

The recruitment of boiler workers has come to an end.

Black end of March, boiler workers in the NCAA finals in the opponent, to get the NCAA three consecutive titles!

This is the third consecutive NCAA championship. Boiler workers are the hottest team in NCAA League.

In this case, it will not take much to recruit new talents

Because before Richard's new recruitment, he gave a lot of performance opportunities to the substitute. After old Philip took over, he also implemented Richard's strategy.

For example, No. 1 position, the starting player is Billups, but Bibi also got a third of the starting opportunities.

These target players, of course, have no reason to refuse the boiler workers

Bearded Davis was the first one to take care of, and bronny promised a one-third start.

Secondly, Odom and brand agreed without saying anything

What Richard didn't expect was that Artest and Larry Hughes, after a second thought, also made the decision to join the boiler workers!

That is to say, the list of seven people given by Richard, with the exception of McGrady and Battier, all the others were recruited successfully!

Five super newcomers are fully added, which makes the strength of boiler workers more and more terrible

In his first season as a boiler man, Richard had a four-star team and a nine star team in his second.

The first season Richard left, the boiler workers are seven star lineup, now directly into the ten star lineup!

It's terrible!

……

Richard was quite satisfied with the result.

The stronger the boiler workers are, the more stable the rear base camp of Richard will be.

……

The trailblazer coaching team spent two days discussing how to target the Lakers.

As a result, there was not much harvest. The only harvest was the crooked ways put forward by Zhang Weiping

And this heresy may not come into use. Maybe it's not impossible for the pioneers to steal chickens and eat rice.

Today's plan can only be one step at a time.

……

Angel City Los Angeles!

The trailblazer team, plus the coaching team and logistics, have been staying in the hotel two days in advance.

In the next few days, they will stay in Los Angeles until they finish the first two games of the playoffs.

At present, the first round of the playoffs adopts the five game system. If the Blazers lose all the two home courts of the Lakers, the situation will be more miserable

The players are very conscious, although Los Angeles is bustling, but they are not in the mood to go outside to find excitement.

……

On April 23, the Lakers played at Staples' home against Portland Trailblazers.

"Guys, relax, there's no need to be so nervous!"

"I believe that God must be on our side!"

Richard clapped his hands and inspired the players.

"We have No. 4 starting line-up in this game. Ben, try O'Neal's free throw feel after the start!"

"Rashid, Robinson, and Kobe, all three of you are good at outside defense!"

With 15 minutes to go before the start of the game, Richard gave a careful admonition.

He played the Lakers four times in the regular season, and each time Richard came up with a different starting lineup.

Among them, the No. 4 starting line-up is the best one. Old saberness is on the center, Big Ben is on the power forward, and the remaining three are Rasheed, Robinson and Kobe Bryant.

Old saberness has good tonnage and strength. In the process of playing O'Neill, the effect is better than the current Big Ben.

But the disadvantage is that old SA can't hold on for a long time. If he has been fighting with O'Neill, he will be able to maintain a 25 minute full state even if he is in the sky

Over this period of time, Lao SA can't do it.

The body can't bear it. After all, there are all kinds of old diseases on the body at that age.

……

Players from both sides began to enter.

Richard is still relaxed. He knows that it's useless to be nervous. Next, it depends on the players' performance.

"Doodle doodle!"

The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the originally noisy staples arena was suddenly quiet.

It's the Lakers' first playoff since bringing in Shaq.

Lakers fans naturally have great expectations. The situation of the Lakers is similar to that of the Blazers. After they met with the Blazers in the 90-91 season, they haven't touched the floor of the Western Conference in the next few years and have been wandering in the first round

At present, the arrival of O'Neal makes Lakers fans dream that the most dominant super interior in history will lead their home team to kill the Bulls?

……Lao SA and Shaq jump, Shaq for the Lakers to get the first offensive round of the ball.

Fan madman holds the ball and pushes it against Kobe's defense. When the ball reaches the front court, it is directly transferred to Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones made a mid-range shot with the help of his teammates' pick and roll, but he hit the iron.

Under the basket O'Neal pushed out saberness to take the offensive rebounds, and then turned over directly.

"Rebounds!"

"Rebounds!"

Richard stood at the edge of the field and reminded Big Ben loudly.

It's a nightmare for the Blazers if O'Neal always gets the offensive rebounds in the opponent's offensive round

So Richard would rather let Big Ben let go of his rival Campbell than let O'Neal easily grab the offensive rebounds!

Big Ben nodded at Richard.

……

The pioneer's attack round is operated by Rashid. His stable mid shot is the most reliable weapon in the pioneer's position attack.

"Shua!" The anti-aircraft gun Rashid turned and shot in the middle.

Rasheed's hit, let Richard relieved, his most afraid situation is to start by the Lakers hit a wave of climax, in that case, for the Blazers this new army, is absolutely deadly!

In terms of resilience, the new army is not as good as those old strong teams. It is at an absolute disadvantage at the beginning, which has a great impact on the morale of the new army.

……

The blazers on the field are all focused on their spirit, especially the three outside lines such as Rashid. The defensive end is quite in place. The Lakers themselves can't play fast break, unless they are willing to abandon O'Neal's big shooting device and fly from the backcourt to the front field to shoot directly

Or O'Neill joined in the fast break, ran back and forth, and then panted for 20 minutes because of the huge tonnage

The Lakers can't get up fast or fast. In this case, the three anti-aircraft guns on the outside line of the Blazers are very comfortable to defend.

The backcourt of the Lakers is the main output point of their team except O'Neal, but because of the excellent defense of the three anti-aircraft guns, their attack efficiency after the opening is not excellent, or even a little bad

Eddie Jones hit only one of the four shots in the opening, and got two points

Fan is not crazy today. He missed three shots in the opening game and was robbed by Kobe Bryant when he passed the ball to O'Neal.
