Next, in the two games in which Richard was banned, the Blazers got one win and one loss.
Judging from the lineup of the Blazers in these two games, the absence of Big Ben and Kobe Bryant really has an impact, but the impact is not fatal.
Under Richard's arrangement, rambil's two matches adopted the arrangement of wusheng Jackson playing point guard and Bowen scoring guard.
As for Big Ben's power forward position, it's Rasheed's temporary top position, while Robinson's top position is small forward position.
Such a line-up, defense is still extremely strong, although it can not compare with Big Ben in the time, but also enough to cope with most of the league's teams
……
When Richard came back, he played Minnesota Timberwolves for the first time.
In this game, the trailblazers won the game very crisply. The young wolf king didn't get any advantage in front of Rashid, and even was slightly in the downwind.
At the end of the game, Rasheed scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steals and 2 blocks, while Garnett scored only 18 points. The performance of young wolf king was not brilliant.
Now the exploiters are only one victory away from the supersonic. It's not hard to catch up.
Jazz must be finished. In the next month's schedule, they may not even win 50%!
……
In the blink of an eye, it's late January!
The NBA schedule is more than half. After Kobe Bryant and Big Ben return, the Blazers are even more powerful. After winning the Atlanta eagles on the night of January 27, they completely sat at the top of the Western record!
Richard himself can't believe that he was able to lead the team to the best record in the West in his second year in NBA!
In 52 games, the Blazers have won 39 of them, surpassing the supersonic with 75% of the winning rate, and successfully sit on the throne of the West!
In a short one month's competition, the trailblazers show their terrifying fighting power, or their hard work on the court.
The storm has come. Their team, which has gone through hardships, is now aiming at the playoffs and the championship!
As for jazz, the original good game, because Utah Shuangsha was completely absent in this month's time, leading them to only play 5-9 record in the whole competition schedule of January
Originally, the first place in the West was also ranked by the latecomers.
A roller coaster is a good way to describe the decline in jazz rankings
Originally this season, the competition in the west is quite fierce. Although there is less rockets, there are more suns and spurs.
By the end of January, the Jazz had fallen to sixth place in the west, behind the Spurs!
What makes Sloan even more desperate is that although Malone will be back in the near future, Stockton's return is far away, at least in March. In this case, in the next two months, they will still suffer a lot
It is an extravagant and impossible thing to rush back to the first place in the West.
Even to rush back to the first half of the Western playoffs, it's hard for jazz!
……
Richard led the team to the top, yes, it did!
Now their pioneers are not only the top of the western performance list, but also the top of the League performance list!
The Chicago Bulls are two games away from the Blazers because Pippen has been injured
With the great strength of the pioneers, it's hard to catch up with the Bulls unless they sprint at all costs!
For a team like the bulls, the regular season record doesn't make much sense!
72 wins they have won, what can prove their strength more than this!
……
After the Jazz incident, fans all over the world have found that the trailblazers can't be described as the new army.
Although the average age of the players in their team is still the youngest in the league, although most of their main starters are sophomores and juniors, their mature performance on the field can be compared with a strong old team!
If before the start of this season, some people say that the Blazers can be placed at the top of the League results list, I'm afraid no one will believe it!
Even Richard would not believe
But now they have really done it. After so many tribulations, this devil like team seems to be completely unaffected. Its record is not only not declining, but also rising!
Others don't know why, but Richard is very clear in his heart.
Now these players in the team are really familiar with Richard. They have seen so many big scenes. Almost everyone has been cultivated with a big heartCultivate the character of perseverance!
……
At the end of January, the NBA all star voting result is hot!
To everyone's surprise, Jermaine O'Neill, the 19-year-old inner player of the trailblazer, even beat out Kevin Garnett, the young big boss of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and was elected the starting power forward of this all star game!
Starting center is O'Neal, starting power forward is O'Neal!
Such a result directly shocked the whole league. If O'Neal is a Laker player, it's acceptable. After all, in a big team like the Laker, he was born with a lot of fans' attention. It's not difficult to get an all-star starter with the data and performance of O'Neal
After all, Kobe Bryant only played a starting game in the whole season, and was elected as an all-star starting game when the average field data was totally inferior to that of xiao'ao.
And now the key problem is that Ozzie is not a player of a big team like the Lakers, he is just a pioneer player!
Trailblazer player, but also not as a star, in the case of no advantage in data, it has become an all star starter?!
If you think about the achievements of the pioneers and the actions that have always been popular, it's not hard to explain that Xiao Ao was chosen as the starter.
In terms of personal data, even though xiao'ao can't compare with Garnett, the third player in the forward position, there is basically no gap.
The exploiter's record of key xiao'ao hangs the Timberwolves
Let alone Xiao Ao is younger than wolf king!
For a variety of reasons, xiao'ao has been selected as the starting striker of the western all star this season!
Although Kobe Bryant was suspended, but this did not affect his popularity, the League Fans of Stockton, not too much
Kobe Bryant is angry for them, and they will not be stingy with their votes!
As a result, Kobe Bryant was also selected as an all star, although he was only a substitute
Last season, the trailblazers failed in the All-Star competition, and no player was qualified to participate in the All-Star competition. This season, the situation is very good, at least two people have been selected!
As for Big Ben and Rasheed, they were tragically defeated
Big Ben is because of the style of the game and the fierce competition. Duncan is just a substitute all star.
But Rashid, in fact, must have some strength. After all, in the positive dialogue with Garnett, he can get a good advantage
As for why not too many fans voted for him, only God knows.
Maybe it's because of his looks, maybe it's his style, maybe even his temper
……
Big Ben and Rashid's defeat, no doubt let Richard very sorry, but young xiao'ao and Kobe Bryant were elected to the all star, which is to make up for Richard's regret.
Richard naturally wants his players. The more all stars he has, the better
Because this year's all star, Richard will be the coach of the western team!
At present, the pioneer ranks first in the Western Conference, and Richard naturally becomes the all star coach in the Western Conference!
