Chapter 272

It's no exaggeration to say that if Larry Bird wants to be safe now, in fact, he will make money by selling his draft right again

He also made a special call to thank Richard.

Pat his chest to make sure that no matter what happens to Richard in the future, Larry Bird will be on Richard's side for the first time

Although the draft right has been handed over, but bird is also in the heart of the spectrum, if you lose your eye, or bad luck, maybe all four draft right to play water drift!

At the beginning of the draft conference, I still have to ask Richard for help

Even if Richard just helps him to exclude one or two target players, it's a big profit.

……

Richard naturally won't help Larry Bird to select people, which is to help him eliminate one or two options. This trivial thing is enough to let Richard gain the most firm friendship of Larry Bird.

Now Richard has realized the importance of allies after the last incident.

With his temperament, he will definitely make enemies in this alliance. Since he has made enemies, Richard is unlikely to seek peace, so he can only defeat them and subdue the tortured ones

This is Richard's plan, which can make him fully stand in the league.

……

At the end of February, Richard led the team to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs.

In the previous schedule, the Blazers have played with the Spurs three times. The winning and losing situation is a bit bad, only 1-2 record!

However, one of the defeats was that at the beginning of the season, Richard and the main players of the team were banned, so the real record of the two teams was to draw, win and lose.

The next match is the last one of the two sides this season, and Richard naturally attaches great importance to it.

Looking at the collapse of the Bulls Dynasty, and in the next decade, most of the championship will be won by the Spurs and the Lakers. If Richard wants to take a share, he must surpass the Spurs.

……

There is no doubt that the Spurs should be one of the poorest teams in the league. It's not that their lineup is not good, but that the market is too small and the owners are poor

The Spurs boss is now worth only $200 million, not as much as some players.

But this poor team is not easy to compete with the Lakers in the next decade.

From this, we can see Popovich's ability. If we change to another coach, it is difficult to play Popovich's achievements.

Although Richard has led the team against the Spurs many times, there is no communication between him and Popovich.

Richard himself is not the kind of person who likes to attract people, and Popovich may be because of Larry Brown's business, and he is not very good to Richard.

……

"We're still in the last lineup, Ben, you remember. Take care of Tim Duncan. This is the most important task I've given you!"

"If you can limit Duncan's attack, we will be the final winner of the game!"

Richard said solemnly to Big Ben.

In Richard's opinion, Big Ben is the wisest choice to guard against Duncan

The two men had played in the finals and fought seven times, creating the lowest ratings in the NBA finals. Don't call them the most constipated finals since the 24 second rule

Duncan in this round of constipation war, the Big Ben defense is quite uncomfortable, the average field hit rate is only embarrassing 41%, the average field score is only 20 points, it can be said that the Big Ben defense Duncan's effect is quite successful!

You know, when Duncan entered the finals for the first time in his career, he was able to score 27 horror points per game, and his shooting rate was close to 54%

Big Ben defends O'Neal. He has no overwhelming advantage in strength, too big in tonnage and too big in height, so it's hard to limit O'Neal.

But Duncan is different. Big Ben's strength has a good advantage over Duncan. Although the tonnage is not as good as Duncan's, the strength can be easily made up. In addition, the height disadvantage is not as big as facing O'Neill, so big Ben can naturally play his full defensive strength without any discount.

"Don't worry, coach, I won't let him ravage our forbidden area this time!" Big Ben nodded and said to Richard.

The last time the Blazers lost against the Spurs, it was because of Duncan's outburst that he scored 32 points and 14 rebounds

If it wasn't for Duncan, the Spurs wouldn't have won that game.

"Jermaine, you're against David. Remember, be smart on the defensive side. Don't let yourself get into foul trouble!" Richard again reminds Xiao Ao

Admiral David Robinson, arguably one of the best foul makers in NBA history, has an average of 8.3 free throws in his career.O'Neill, on the other hand, made 9.3 free throws. It seems that admiral has fewer free throws than O'Neill

But some of O'Neill's free throws are cut, and the Admiral's 75% or so free throw percentage is that no one will attack him.

In the three matches with the Spurs, Xiao Ao suffered from this aspect. In the end, he got more than five fouls in three games, and even one six fouls left.

At present, Richard naturally needs to remind us. Don't wait until the half-time game is over. The six prisoners left the field

……

Because the sports car and magic knife haven't joined the Spurs, so the Blazers just need to take care of the Spurs' internal twin towers. As long as they can prevent the Spurs' twin towers, the game will win basically.

Only David Robinson and Duncan scored 20 points in the Spurs team. The other players scored the highest, Avery Johnson, with 10 points per game

The general is also legendary. Like Bowen, his No. 6 Jersey was retired by the Spurs, which is a great honor for a character player

From this point of view, in fact, the Spurs are quite human. Other teams are not likely to retire their jerseys for players like Bowen or general, even if they have played in this team for many years.

At the end of his career, general is also involved in the coaching industry, adding bricks and tiles to the Spurs' coaches.

In 2005-06, he led the Mavericks to a good regular season record and won the best coach of the season, but he was unable to lead the Mavericks to make a breakthrough in the playoffs.

Later, he was fired by Kuban, the evil capitalist

Rick Carlisle took over his team and led the Mavericks to the title.
