Bishop of the Devil

Zhang Weiping on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he finally entered the finals.

If he fails to enter the finals this year, even if Paul Allen values ​​​​him, he will definitely not be able to keep him.

Richard led his team to win three consecutive championships. Without much change in the lineup, Zhang Weiping failed to reach the finals for two consecutive years. How could the fans endure it?

In addition, the Trail Blazers lineup will become weaker next season, and it will definitely be more difficult to reach the finals in the future.

…

Richard also watched this game, and the result was not beyond his expectation. It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

And now the camel of the Trail Blazers has not lost much weight and is still in a strong period. Although the Spurs have improved their lineup a lot in the past two years, they got Parker and signed Ginobili, but compared to the Trail Blazers There is still a slight gap in the lineup.

Therefore, in Richard's view, it is actually very difficult for the Spurs to survive until the tiebreaker and only narrowly defeat the Trail Blazers in the end.

If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have Popovich's ability to play so anxiously with a weak lineup.

…

All the finals teams from the Eastern and Western Conferences have been announced.

The East is the Pistons, and the West is the Trail Blazers.

What shocked all fans was that these two teams were all created by Richard.

The Trail Blazers are Richard's eldest son...

No, to be precise, the Boilermaker at Purdue University is Richard's eldest son, and the Trail Blazers are Richard's second son.

Piston is Richard's youngest son.

Now the two children raised by Richard are about to start a duel, which directly attracts the attention of countless fans.

There are really too many things to watch in this series...

No matter who wins or loses in the end, it will definitely trigger countless discussions.

Before the start of the finals, it is definitely impossible for the Pistons generals to say that they are not nervous.

Although the Trail Blazers did not reach the finals last season, their main lineup is still there, and their accumulated majesty is still there.

In any case, the Trail Blazers are one of the most powerful teams in the entire NBA history...

About to face such a team, the Pistons generals must be a little nervous.

You must know that most of the Pistons are newcomers. Even Nash, the most senior, has no experience in the finals. Before coming to the Pistons, his best playoff performance was only in the second round of the playoffs.

And at that time, he was still hanging out with Kidd in the Suns. He had nothing to do with the team reaching the second round of the playoffs.

…

"Guys, look at how useless you are!"

"Why are you nervous? The Trail Blazers are not an invincible team!"

Richard clapped his hands and said to the Pistons generals during the team meeting.

The generals sighed in their hearts. Although Richard said so, the Trail Blazers with a complete lineup seemed to be really unbeatable.

"There's no need to be nervous. The Trail Blazers are a team I built with my own hands. I'm very familiar with them!"

"Believe me, the final winner of this series must be us!"

"You will win the championship trophy within half a month!"

Richard shouted with high spirits that under the current situation, he, the head coach, must encourage the generals. Otherwise, the morale of the players will be low before the game even starts, so how can they win this round of the finals.

"Dayao, I know you are still thinking about the game you lost to Auburn."

"There is no need to think about it. You were not the same person back then as you are now. Your current strength has surpassed that of O'Neal. In this league, I am afraid that O'Neal can slightly overwhelm you!"

"You have to know that the MVP of this regular season is you, not the Blazers, not O'Neill, or Ben!" Richard shouted loudly.

The second round of the playoffs is in progress, and all the awards for this regular season have already been announced.

The Pistons won numerous awards and eventually became the biggest winner of the season.

It's normal to say that, after all, the Pistons were still in bad shape last season. This season's record has improved significantly, and they will naturally win more awards.

The first is COY, the honor of best coach, which was easily won by Richard.

This also makes Richard one of the coaches with the most COY honors in NBA history...

When Richard wins this award again in the future, he will be able to remove one or two words and monopolize this honor.

Of course, Richard doesn't really care about this COY, he cares more about the championship.

…

In addition to Richard's COY, Yao Ming also won the honor of regular season MVP, which is definitely well-deserved.

Although he was not unanimously elected, Yao Ming received many more votes than other competitors.

The All-Star MVP and the regular season MVP have already been won. If Yao Ming can win the FMVP in the next round of the finals, he will complete the MVP Grand Slam in his rookie season.

Scorpion daddy, a unique piece of history!

…

In addition to the regular season MVP, the honor of Rookie of the Year will definitely go to Yao Ming.

After all, the MVP has been won, how could the best rookie go to someone else?

All-Rookie Team, All-Defensive Second Team, All-Pro Second Team.

It can be said that Yao Ming has gained a lot this season and has won quite a few honors.

If O'Neal hadn't been there, I'm afraid Yao Ming might have been selected for the double team this year.

Being able to win so many valuable honors in his rookie season, Yao Ming is making history and changing his career from the normal trajectory.

In addition to Yao Ming, Clark also gained a lot.

This season Clark won the All-Star starter, the All-Defensive First Team, the block leader, the Best Defensive Player, and the All-NBA Third Team.

Although not as good as Yao Ming, compared to Clark's normally poor career, it is definitely a qualitative improvement.

What makes Richard a little strange is that Clark's mission is completed, but he hasn't received the reward yet...

…

Gerald Wallace was also selected to the All-Defensive Second Team this season.

According to Richard's recollection, in fact, there was definitely no place for Gerrard in this year's best defensive second team. This time, there was a player in the second defensive team who impressed Richard, so he was interested in this. The defensive second team roster is quite familiar.

Eric Snow, this guy was originally on the defensive second team...

This player is a combo guard. James fans should be familiar with him, or James Black must be familiar with him as well.

In 2004-05, he joined the Cavaliers...

At that time, the Cavaliers' lineup included James, Big Z and Larry Hughes. Many fans felt that these three were the bosses in the Cavaliers, and other players must be at the CBA level.

In fact, it is not the case. If you want to say that the standard of the NBA's second defensive team is CBA level, then there is really no one else...

Even if Eric Snow's defense is not as good as Bowen's, it's not much different.

It's a pity that after a few years of playing with the Cavaliers, it was useless. From the original 10+ points per game, it dropped directly to an average of 4 points per game. In the last season of the Cavaliers, they even averaged only 1 point per game...

Originally averaging 10+ points per game and possessing second-team level defensive capabilities, this guy is just like Tony Allen.

…

So to be honest, some fans said that James' teammates in the early stages of his career were CBA, which obviously underestimated James' teammates.

They all have glorious experiences. Larry Hughes defended the first team and was also the leader, and Snow defended the second team. These are all heavy honors. Why is it in the CBA...

…

But now Eric Snow obviously has no chance to enter the second defensive team. He was squeezed out by Gerrard.

…

"Think about the honors our Pistons have won this season. How much more has the Trail Blazers achieved than us?"

"Having more honors means we are better than the Trail Blazers!"

"If you are stronger than them, why should you be nervous!"

Richard was loudly encouraging the players. Although he didn't know the effect, he still encouraged them.
