Legendary Basketball Tycoon

In fact, Bruce’s plan to exchange blood for the Sonics has been completed here. It has to be said that Bruce’s blood exchange for the Sonics is still very successful. Just imagine if these three deals are really successful, then the Sonics will surely be successful in the short term. A qualitative overflight, coupled with the coaching of Larry Brown, can show that the Supersonics of the year will create a youth storm in the league.

why? !

Just look at Bruce’s goal of choosing a deal for the Sonics. They are all rookies from 95-96. Although such players are lacking in experience, they are completely old enough to cultivate a tacit understanding of 2-3 seasons. Properly it is another team competing for the championship.

This is completely a 76ers + Pistons lineup system. It can be said that both teams are coached by Larry Brown. For this configuration, Bruce believes that Larry Brown should still be very satisfied.

Imagine the late Sonics lineup. If every player is at their peak, you will know how terrifying it is.

The point guard is Iverson, the shooting guard is Ray Allen, the small forward is Detlev Schramf, the power forward is Rashid Wallace, and the center is Ben Wallace.

In addition to the small forward position that gave Bruce a bit of a headache, everything else is fine. Bruce believes that in the year 99 when small forwards were flooded, the Sonics should be able to get a strong defensive small forward candidate. using.

It can be seen that the Pistons of this system are mostly composed. At the point guard position, Bruce is not sure to give up Iverson and choose Chauncey Billups, and the small forward position does not have the defensive Tayshaun Prince. Titans, but it’s okay that supersonics will never become a piston. After all, how can the current supersonics be such a civilian, Iverson is equivalent to a superstar level.

The Pistons didn't know what kind of Blues was, but he knew what kind of coach Larry Brown was.

When he knew Larry Brown as the head coach, Bruce still used him to scrap the Serbian Milicic and became the villain head coach in the novel.

Out of curiosity, Bruce had a special understanding of what kind of ruthless character this head coach is. I don’t know that it really shocked Bruce at a glance. The academic head coach of Larry Brown is not a novel at all. It’s such a villain. On the contrary, he is a very wise coach. Here we still have to say something good for Larry Brown. Don’t look at other people’s scrapping of Milicic, but you can imagine whether some players are suitable for this. The very star Milicic is not suitable for the tactical system set by Larry Brown.

It's no wonder that Milicic can play without the double Wallace's defensive hardness. In general, Milicic's style is indeed a bit soft, not suitable for playing in a team that is good at defense.

And Larry Brown is the kind of head coach who is very good at defensively. It would be impossible for the Pistons to win the championship without the tough defensive "civilian" Pistons he arranged.

Having said that, in order for everyone to better understand the coach-Larry Brown, it is necessary to talk about it.

Everyone said that Larry Brown was a gentleman, and his arrogant soul could be seen from his refusal to use zone defense. In Larry Brown's eyes, the use of zone defense is to show weakness to the opponent. He just likes to defeat his enemy head-on. This kind of repressive power makes all teams fear the three-pointer when facing the team he coaches.

However, he also has a utilitarian side-he insists on the concept of "playing basketball in the right way". His biggest specialty is to make a dull team shine, and his biggest hobby is to make a weak team a strong team. Will choose the next place and continue to challenge myself.

This is also the reason why Bruce doesn’t like this coach. The main reason is that he doesn’t have a sense of belonging to the team. As long as he feels inappropriate, he can leave immediately, and he won’t bring any memorials. If a coach like this is invited over, Bruce has to come at any time. Be prepared to find a spare tire.

...

After analyzing the list for the Supersonics, mark everything that should be marked, and just wait for the rest to be faxed to Paul Allen.

However, there are some things that Bruce is prepared to tell Paul Allen. After all, Bruce still has considerable interest in this Supersonic team. Without him, it is just blocking the Spurs and the Lakers.

If the Spurs get Tim Duncan in the 97th draft, then the Bruce really has to think about the layout of the West. The Spurs can immediately form the Stone Buddha + Navy Colonel inside super team after getting Tim Duncan. A strong combination can immediately promote the Spurs to the ranks of super teams, which is also what the Bruce saw without reason.

On the other hand, because the Lakers didn’t get the Kobe they wanted, it meant that General Manager Jerry West would definitely have to move his hands and feet in the construction of the team. Relying on the allure of a metropolis like Los Angeles, there must be many big names. Players want to get in, which is also a big problem.

Of course, if there are difficulties, there will be light. As long as the supersonic system works, Bruce believes that it can resist the offenses of the Spurs and the Lakers. The reason is simple. Both teams can't run inside. That kind of thing, the Lakers needn't say letting O'Fang go back and forth, it would be better to kill him, and the Spurs Tim Duncan and David Robinson are not good at back and forth.

Then compare the configuration of the SuperSonics at a glance. Iverson and Ray Allen must have no problem with the scoring ability of the outside combination. If it is running, Iverson is good at breakthrough + counterattack, and Ray Allen is good at running. Open space + three-pointer, this must give the Lakers and Spurs enough to drink a pot.

What's more, there are two super violent double Wallace combinations inside the Supersonics. Offense does not expect to be able to defend and run back and forth is a piece of cake for them.

It can be said that the system that Bruce created for the Sonics was implemented solely to restrain the Lakers and Spurs.

God knows that Bruce did not set up this system for the supersonic. In the past few years, Bruce wanted to make the supersonic like the Mavericks of the year, but unfortunately, it finally backfired, which made the supersonic slowly become the Pistons-like system model in.

But having said that, Bruce also feels that if he loses his position, if he reaps the mulberry, maybe the path of supersonic driving the piston may become better or not necessarily. Because of Iverson, there are all uncertain factors.

While the fax was spread across the ocean, Bruce was also thinking about what he would say to Paul Allen.

"Hello, my father, I have helped you complete the analysis report of the Sonics and the transaction, and faxed it to your home, I believe you have received it!" Bruce held a Supersonic team in his hand. Talking to Paul Allen while looking at the manuscript.

"I saw it, but I still have some doubts about this list?! You still need to explain it to me!"

Regarding the list that Bruce had just faxed over, although he is still quite superstitious that Bruce’s draft and trade objects have never made a big mistake, Paul Allen took a look at it, and he was stunned by this look. , Because he saw that the players who chose to trade on this list were no longer the players, but needed a lot of picks to trade, which really didn't make him much.
