Bishop of the Devil

After this series, Richard can clearly feel that the newcomers under his command have made some visible growth.

After all, these newcomers have seen big scenes now.

Five games, a life-or-death situation, with the winner decided at the last second, is definitely an extremely valuable playoff experience for newcomers.

Rasheed is undoubtedly the most outstanding player for the Trail Blazers in this series, with a total shooting rate of 57%, which is incredible for a player who mainly focuses on mid-range shooting. !

Of course, Richard didn't feel that Rashid's outstanding shooting percentage had any credit to himself...

Rashid himself is so good on the offensive end, and has little to do with Richard.

He averaged 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 0.6 steals per game. Coupled with his amazing shooting percentage, it can be said that Rashid is almost impeccable in terms of statistics...

If I really have to find one fault, it's the number of technical fouls on Rasheed right now.

Although Rashid has tried his best to restrain himself, after five games, Rashid still received six technical fouls. This is probably the record for technical fouls in a single round series in the history of the NBA...

In the next game against the Jazz, even if Rasheed only gets a technical foul, he will still face a suspension!

Once Rasheed is suspended, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the Blazers' overall strength.

For any team, losing a player with a high shooting percentage and averaging 20 points per game is undoubtedly a huge loss...

Richard has no idea about this. He has told Rashid more than once that he should control his temper, but this thing is not so easy to control. If it was really easy to control, Rashid would not eat so much. technical offender.

This is why Richard has no confidence at all in defeating the Jazz...

In the next seven games, Rashid will be suspended for one game as long as he gets a technical foul, and if he gets three technical fouls, he will be suspended for two games!

Three technical fouls in seven games, and this is an extremely competitive game like the playoffs. Rashid may really get it...

With Rasheed suspended for two games, will Richard take the lead and go to the Steel Jazz?

The Jazz itself is quite strong. Richard remembers clearly that when the Lakers met the Jazz in the Western Conference semifinals this season, they were directly beaten by the Jazz and eliminated by the Jazz with a big score of 4:1...

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Richard to make any bold statements at the press conference, as that would be asking for embarrassment.

…

Ben, a player who directly faced O'Neal, averaged 5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 1 steal per game. His data has shrunk compared to the regular season, but there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, O'Neal is facing him...

Kobe's performance is as stable as ever, averaging 13 shots per game. In this round of games, he averaged 14 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Looking at the data purely, he is even better than his opponent Fan Fan... …

The last rookie, O'Brien, only played the last ten seconds of this series, but his performance cannot be said to be bad. After all, O'Brien saved the Blazers.

…

In the afternoon of the next day, Richard summoned the players and assistant coaches and appeared at the team's training ground.

About to face the Jazz, Richard naturally wanted to practice some tactics, especially defensive tactics...

The Jazz's offensive tactics are quite simple, which is to play pick-and-roll, but it is quite difficult to perfectly deal with this tactic. Richard is currently practicing defensive tactics.

…

With the end of the first round of the playoffs, many honors in the regular season have begun to be released.

The first to come out are the honors such as the best coach of the season and the best sixth man, but they have little to do with the Trail Blazers.

The best head coach was won by Heat coach Pat Riley, which made Big Ben quite dissatisfied. In their opinion, this honor should be in Richard's pocket...

Speaking of which, this is just wishful thinking of Big Ben and the others. Richard really can't compete with Pat Riley in this aspect.

The Heat, led by Pat Riley, achieved a record of 61 wins this season, while the Heat only had 42 wins last season. This is a huge improvement!

As for Richard, compared with the record of the Blazers he led last season, the number of wins was actually a few fewer games...

Even if there is a reason for the Blazers' reconstruction, this will undoubtedly disqualify Richard from competing for the best head coach.

Richard didn't care either. In Richard's opinion, this thing was completely dispensable...

Having the honor of being the best head coach is certainly good, but the real honor of a head coach is the championship. When fans and media list the most powerful head coaches in NBA history, they list them either by the number of wins or the number of championships. Let's list it. Very few people will list it based on the number of best head coach honors.

As for the honor of the best sixth man, it was won by the Knicks' sixth man John Starks.

…

Richard still feels it is quite a pity that the Blazers did not win this honor of Best Sixth Man.

In fact, both the Trail Blazers' veteran Shaman and Curry are qualified to compete for this award. However, Curry just received this honor two years ago, so he suffered a bit in this regard...

As for Lao Sa, because the judges are all from Lao America and Canadian media, he is not very popular in Lao America, so he also did not get many votes.

…

"Lee, I feel it would be better to defend the Jazz's Marlon Stockton pick-and-roll and let Ben and Kobe do it!" Carlisle said to Richard.

Richard nodded.

The players at the training ground are divided into two groups for training. Both groups are using the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics in the same manner. Ben and Kobe are quite effective in preventing the pick-and-roll.

The original guard was Malone, and Kobe was guarding Stockton. In this way, there would be no disadvantage in terms of strength or speed on the defensive end.

If we can really kill the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics, then maybe we really have a chance to beat the Jazz...

Of course, this is only an extremely ideal situation. No one can say how effective the defense will be on the court.

"Well, that's what I planned. Let the two of them mainly guard against the opponent's pick-and-roll. As for the other players, they should be man-to-man as much as possible to prevent Malone or Stockton from passing the ball..."

Richard finally finalized this defensive plan, and then started practicing in this direction.

"Huh? Teacher Zhang, where did your cupping come from..." Richard didn't pay attention at first. When Carlisle mentioned Kobe, Richard noticed the cupping mark on Kobe's back...
