Chapter 636

On the eastern side, the piston is still an amazing force, but the current piston has gradually embarked on the old road of previous pioneers.

The pioneers were brilliant for almost six years, and then the dynasty collapsed because of the problem of salary space.

In fact, if Richard wants to help the pioneers, he can help them continue their brilliance.

But to help the pioneers, the Pistons could not rise before that.

After all, there are so many new people every year. If Richard killed them all, it would be a scene that Richard didn't want to see.

After the pistons gave Yao Ming and Clark their top salaries, they could not even sign another top salary. Maybe in the next season or two, their strength will gradually decline.

……

In mid December, Rondo played the last of 15 games against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Tonight is the Lakers' home court. Richard and the pirates will arrive in Los Angeles one day ahead of schedule.

With two months of playing schedule, in fact, the strength of each team, generally can see clearly.

Lakers this season with Big Ben joined, their weak inside has been greatly strengthened.

Under normal circumstances, Kobe Bryant can take these Lakers players to the playoffs. Now he has an all-star big book in his playing year, and his record has soared to the top three position in the West.

At the moment, the Lakers are only one game away from the second-largest suns in the West.

It's worth mentioning that Bryant changed his jersey number this season.

When Kobe Bryant was a pioneer, he used the number 33 Jersey, which his father wore in high school.

Later, when he arrived at the Lakers, he chose No. 8 because Jabbar's No. 33 Jersey was retired.

This number is also meaningful for Kobe Bryant. This is the number of his jersey in Italy when he was a kid.

And this season, maybe because he didn't make it to the playoffs last season, which stimulated Kobe Bryant, so he directly changed the original No. 8 to No. 24.

This 24 is Kobe's high school jersey number, but in the interpretation of fans, this number has other meanings.

For example, 24 hours a day, this number means Kobe Bryant is thinking about training all the time

For example, Jordan is No. 23, which Kobe chose, implying that he will surpass Jordan in the future.

Generally speaking, players change their shirt numbers in two situations.

The first is the transfer, for example, James wears No. 23 in the Cavaliers and No. 6 in the heat.

The second one is also related to the transfer. A big player is traded in the team. People have to use their original number. If the number is occupied by the gunnery player, the gunnery player must let it out.

It's rare for players like Kobe to change numbers in the same team. Of course, Kobe is not the only one who can count several players.

The League also has rules on this. If players want to change numbers in the same team, they must play for more than four years in this team. Kobe must meet the conditions

……

Richard was actually curious about what Bryant's 24 meant, but he didn't ask him

The significance of the number of the Jersey, this thing is not too much value in fact, everyone has their own views, and even some fans make a mess of interpretation.

For example, Jordan's No. 23, in the interpretation of the fans, is very simple, that is, two three consecutive titles

For example, James 23, in the interpretation of the fans, is a little more complicated. 2 represents being kicked twice and 3 represents three decisions.

As for the No. 6 Jersey at the heat, it's interpreted as No. 6

As soon as I heard it, it was definitely James' black powder.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the pirates will begin to enter.

Richard is still quite relaxed. At present, the pirate team ranks first in the East steadily, leading the pistons in the east by four games.

With two months to go before the All-Star game, the pistons have little hope of catching up.

Four victories seem to be few, but judging from the current winning probability of the pirate team, unless the piston can play more than 85% in the next two months, otherwise, it will not threaten the first place in the east of the pirate team at all.

Jackson, who has been coaching the Lakers this season, is standing across the court looking at Richard.

Seeing Richard's indifferent appearance, there was an indescribable feeling of suffocation in Zen master's heart.

The reason is simple, because the Lakers are almost becoming the base camp of West Lafayette.

The top three players in the team are all West Lafayette players.

Kobe, Big Ben and Odom.

In fact, Zen didn't tend to introduce Big Ben at the beginning. He was ready to hook up with Yao MingBut Kobe is obviously closer to Big Ben, so he has been putting pressure on the management to win big Ben.

For this reason, Kobe and Jackson fought for a long time.

But it's a fight. With Yao extending his contract to Detroit, and Yao doesn't come to the Lakers, Jackson can't help it.

Fortunately, after Big Ben joined the team, the chemical reaction was quite good, and the team's record soared. At present, it is preliminary to have the strength to compete for the championship.

Richard also saw the expression of Zen master looking at himself strangely and nodded and smiled at him.

"Rajan, tonight is the last game of the bookmaking. Do you know how many points you're missing from Paul?" Richard looked at Rondo with a smile.

Rondo nodded gloomily, "coach, 104 points to go..."

Rondo has basically failed in this bet.

But even if he was doomed to fail, Rondo still scared Paul into a cold sweat.

In the 14 games played in front of Rondo, Paul was stunned that the boy, who is the same height as himself, could score 7.6 rebounds per game.

Although the field average assists data and field average steals data are not as good as their own, the gap is not large

If it wasn't for Rondo's attack, it would have been a bit bad for Paul to feel that tonight he would have had a hard time.

But now he is at ease, 104 points gap, Rondo's chance to catch up even one percent.

Rondo was obviously aware of this, and now he looks a little ugly.

To know that 20 points, 20 rebounds, 20 assists, add up to only 100 points, as for steals and blocks, a game together to get four starts, it has been a pretty good play.

Even if Rondo gets five defense data tonight, he is still close to the 80 point gap of Paul, which requires Rondo to play a super data of 20 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists

It's impossible to think about it.
