Harrington is releasing water to Milicic on the court, because Harrington is not a good defensive player, so few people can see the clue.
Richard would not publicize this kind of thing. If it was exposed, such a disgraceful thing would certainly make milicici lose face.
……
By the end of the first quarter, the pirates were five points behind.
No way. The offensive firepower of this set of lineup is a bit poor. The strong point lies in the defense
If the players on the field are all in the peak period, then the offensive firepower certainly does not have to say, but now after all is the old old, the small, not one in the peak period.
Although the main player in the game is the inside player, Milicic's shy nature doesn't mean to take too many shots. He made seven shots in the first quarter, not too many, not too few. Most of the inside players in the league are difficult to get more than seven shots in a single quarter.
In the seven shots, Milicic scored 8 points, 3 out of 7, and 2 out of 2 free throws.
The European League's internal players, compared with the old black internal players in the United States, in addition to their team awareness and organizational ability, have obvious advantages in terms of free throws. Most of the European internal free throws are above 70%.
And the American side of the local interior line, can achieve 70% of the free throw hit rate, the three inside refers to whether we can find one.
The attack efficiency is not high, but Richard thinks it's acceptable. Anyway, it's not a matter of two days to improve Milicic.
As long as he can play with confidence, he can definitely improve his strength in a short period of time.
……
At the end of the first half, the other side replaced the main team. After all, it's just a pre-season game. There's no need to fight.
Richard's side also replaced the first team and other players, and replaced the pure cannon fodder players
In the end, the pirate team lost the game, which was expected by Richard.
Harrington and Jamison are not vegetarians. They are all star players in the golden peak period. With arenas as as a strong offensive backcourt, they have a 17 point difference advantage in half-time.
……
In the next few preseasons, the new pirate army failed in one game and ended in failure.
Such a start was a bad situation Richard had never experienced before, but he was not very impatient, but he was a little happy.
After a few pre-season games, Milicic has a feeling of gradually integrating into the team. In the face of the jokes of his teammates, he can sometimes respond to a few words. Although the response is awkward, it is always better than before.
And on the field has become more active up, some offensive rounds, he is able to start the initiative to ask for the ball.
Richard thought about it. He used a Bryant all star light that he didn't want to use.
At first glance, it's a waste to use Bryant's All-Star light. But Richard is going to cultivate Milicic into a future all-around power forward player
For example, Bryant's All-Star light covers almost all of his attributes. It's not a loss to use it on Milicic.
Finally, the random result, let Milicic obtain Kobe Bryant's 90% snatch attribute and the ability of the middle shot, lasting for two years.
Such a result, Richard is still acceptable, after all, this is the result of the upper middle.
In the blink of an eye, the pre-season schedule is over, and the pirate team ushered in their first regular game at home.
It has to be said that Stern is quite a face to the pirate team. This first battle directly arranged the home court of the pirate team.
The pirates didn't make their first away game. In the previous six preseasons, stern also gave four home games.
This is certainly not to give Richard face, but to support the new army normally.
……
"Li, we can't lose any more. At least we can win the opening game. It's the first game in the history of our team." Jordan appeared in Richard's office with a bitter face.
Richard's mouth twitched. He seemed to want to lose
The strength is really inferior to the person, loses the ball to be able to have any method.
However, in the opening game, Richard is a little confident to win, because the opponent is the famous chicken team eagle.
The vegetable chicken team has been in a bad position in recent seasons, but it didn't get a high ranking. The overall strength is far inferior to Richard's when he just crossed.
The team that the League arranged for the pirate team must also hope to make the pirate team win the first battle and win a good start.
"Michael, don't worry. The opponent is the eagle. We still win a lot."
"Of course, it's not impossible to lose. You have to look down on some achievements. We're aiming to be poor this season." Said Richard with a smile.Jordan nodded, he knew the truth, but he still wanted to win the first battle
……
October 17, Charlotte City stadium.
Although the pirate team lost in the previous six preseasons, it was the first game in the team's history tonight. There were still many fans who came to watch the game, and the attendance rate was about 85%.
If we continue to lose tonight, I'm afraid that the attendance rate of future games will decline significantly
This is the reality of the fans. If Charlotte doesn't have the NFL leopards, the fans may come to see the ball. But now that there is a more popular NFL, why don't the fans spend money to see the pirates lose
That's why Jordan made Richard have to win the first battle.
……
Players from both sides have started to enter the stadium.
Richard carefully looked at the team of the eagles. He didn't pay much attention to the eagles in the past two years. Since Wilkens left the eagles, he hasn't paid much attention to the team.
The starting lineup of the eagles, stout tawalker, Grandpa Lu, Josh Smith, Childress and Dirk.
The lineup looks well known
At least these people are familiar with Richard, among them Josh Smith is the later eagle king.
But now he can't win the title of eagle king, because he's just a rookie. This year, he just entered the league. The first round of 17th place was selected by eagle.
In fact, Richard was very interested in Josh at the beginning. He wanted to use the first round of the piston to send warm to trade up and try to win Josh Smith.
However, because there is no chips in hand, no one is willing to make a deal with the pirate team, so the idea is over.
In terms of style, there are many similarities between Josh hawk and Gerrard Elvis Presley, both of them play in the position of double ability, both of them are strong in physical quality, strong in defense and mediocre in attack.
Despite his reputation as hawk king, Josh Smith has never scored more than 20 points per game in his career.
This evening, Milicic's opponent may be Josh Smith, who plays in a double front position.
……
In the sound of the referee's whistle, the match soon began.
To Richard's surprise, it wasn't Josh Smith who was in charge of defending Milicic on the hawk's side, but the stout tawalker.
This is a good thing for the pie in the sky. Walker is a big leak. I hope that mirisic can get the light of fat Toutuo tonight and have a good eruption.
Sure enough, just at the beginning, Milicic hit two goals directly, which made him feel hot.
Walker may be really toxic. When a player encounters his defense, his attack ability can be improved by at least 30%, which is quite metaphysical.
Since Milicic has a good feel, there is no reason not to pass the ball when he is in charge of Peyton.
By the end of the first half, the pirates had won 11 points.
Richard looked curiously at Mike Woodson, the manager of the eagles.
Normally, as long as Woodson is not a fool, he should actually use Josh Smith for Milicic.
To know that only half of the game, Milicic has got 17 points to score, the game is over, Milicic may even cut a 30 + points.
And if you use Josh Smith to defend Milicic from the beginning to the end, with Milicic 's current strength, it is difficult to get 20+ points.
Is Woodson a fool? Richard thought, wondering
If Woodson knew Richard thought that, he would be furious.
To be exact, he is actually the coach of the Richard faction.
He entered the league in 80 years, but as a player, he retired in 91 and played in the League for 11 years.
Although I haven't been selected as an all star, the data is quite good. I'm also a quasi all star player. My career is still perfect.
By 1996, he and Richard had joined the coaching industry the same year.
But he certainly didn't have such a good life as Richard. At first, he joined bucks as an assistant
As a result, the assistant has been working for many years, wandering a lot of teams, until later joining Rick Carlisle's coaching team, which is to settle down.
This off-season, with Rick Carlisle's connection and Wilkens's relationship, he finally became the head coach of the eagles after his daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law for many years.
Woodson's experience, in fact, is not so hard, most of the team's head coach, is generally such a process.
Starting from the assistant of the team, if you are lucky, you may be able to become a full-time coach in two or three years. If you are lucky, you can become a full-time coach in seven or eight years like Woodson. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to become a full-time coach in your whole life
……For Carlisle, Woodson is very grateful, he is very clear about the relationship between Carlisle and Richard.
And also clear, tonight's game for the pirates meaning, so do not say anything to help the pirates.
He knows the benefits of joining Richard's faction, which will make him work longer in the position of head coach, so even if he and Richard don't have too much interaction, he is also full of Richard's coaches.
Richard certainly did not expect that the Spurs coach did not take shape, but his Richard coach has already begun to take shape.
It's also normal to think about it. This is Richard's ninth year in the NBA. In the eight or nine years, Richard has many managers under his hand.
Among them, there is Rick Carlisle, a very strong coach.
These coaches will train their assistants
It means that Richard's faction has begun to blossom gradually. It may not take long for Richard to become a grandmaster. Half of the league's managers are his sons and grandchildren.
Of course, it's a bit hard to say that Tuzi and tusun are not rude, but they are not rude. These coaches are all labeled with Richard's faction, which is certainly beneficial to their future development.
NBA is a Business League. It's not important to have contacts. Two assistants with the same ability must be the one with a wide network who is more likely to be the head coach.
Even if the ability is poor, you can still sit in this position. You need to know that a wide network means that when the team is going to make a deal, there will be more optional targets.
The same is true for players.
Why is the price of silafaye players higher than other players in the free agent market? That's roughly why.
West Lafayette players need not say much. If the team really wants to have a rush, West Lafayette players will have more chances than other players to help the team recruit to the awesome players.
With this alone, it's worth their extra price.
……
What Richard didn't know was that he, the founder of the West Lafayette faction, was already a great family.
Some things, even if he doesn't speak, will be quietly helped, and Woodson is the best example.
"Doodle doodle!" The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game. In this game, the pirate team finally won a hard won victory. When they lost six games in a row before the season, the opening game of the regular season won.
"Man, thank you." At the end of the game, Richard stepped onto the court and shook hands with Woodson, expressing his gratitude.
Richard is not a fool either. They sell it to themselves on purpose. Can't you see that?
"Coach Li, if you have a trade idea in the future, please give priority to our eagles, we will definitely give you the most sincere price." Although Woodson is nearly ten years older than Richard, the gap between the two sides is there, so his posture is relatively low.
Richard smiled and nodded. Although he had no contact with Woodson, he was no stranger to Woodson. He knew that he was Carlisle's assistant before.
"OK, but I advise you to sell Walker as soon as possible. He is not a good player." Richard has saved Walker's face.
Woodson smiled bitterly and nodded. Of course, he wanted to sell walker, but it was not so easy. Walker's super high contract and low cost performance make few teams willing to be the big loser.
