Bishop of the Devil

Richard couldn't help but become interested when he thought of the three-party transaction.

Now Richard doesn't want to cheat Adelman, so he doesn't want to agree to this deal, but in fact he is still somewhat interested in Dampier.

If Dampier trains him well, his defensive strength will definitely be outstanding.

Especially his single defense ability, this is Dampier's strongest point. Top insiders like O'Neal and Duncan have all suffered under his hands.

His strength is quite strong, and his official bench press data is second only to Ben and O'Neal. It is not very effective for him to defend a player with a very high release point like Yao Ming. It is not very effective to defend a spring-shaped inside line like Stoudemire. …

But defending O'Neal or Duncan has a good effect.

At least the defensive effect is much better than that of Xiao Ao...

This is also where Richard likes Dampier. After all, the Blazers' main opponents this year are the Spurs and Lakers, and Dampier can come in handy.

Not only that, in the next few years, the Spurs and Lakers will definitely remain the Trail Blazers' biggest opponents.

Therefore, it is quite cost-effective to introduce Dampier at a relatively low price at the moment...

To put it bluntly, Xiao Ao currently has an injury scroll, so there is no need to worry about injuries, but what about Ben?

If Ben is injured, the Blazers will not be able to play in the playoffs...

And if Dampier is there, the Blazers can at least still fight.

The introduction of Dampier can be regarded as a layer of insurance for the team. No matter from any aspect, it is quite necessary.

…

"Old man, if you can trust me, I have an idea here. You can try it!"

"You can find a team for a three-way trade. I feel that the coaches of many teams now have the same idea as you, thinking that Braggs' defense can reach the league's average level..."

"You can take this opportunity to pick one. Your team's problem is in the backcourt. Jamison in the frontcourt is almost enough..."

Richard proposed his idea to Adelman.

"Good idea, Lee, it's a good idea, so I completely owe you a favor this time!" Adelman said gratefully.

If Richard wanted to trick him, he would agree to the deal without saying a word. When the deal was completed, Adelman would probably have no place to cry...

Braggs may be able to play some role on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, it is simply a black hole. It may not be long before Adelman abandons Braggs.

After all, if he stays on the court, the points he creates are far less than the points lost because of him, which is not worthwhile in any way.

…

"Old man, this is a win-win deal, but the third party may lose..."

"It's up to you, old man, to decide which team is losing. For teams like the 76ers and Nets, try not to get involved with them. They are all old acquaintances!"

Richard said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Li, I know how to do it..."

"By the way, I got inside information in the afternoon. Larry Brown just submitted an interview application to the Lakers. Maybe he has the idea of ​​​​making a comeback."

Adelman's interpersonal relationships in the NBA are far stronger than Richard's, so it is not difficult for him to obtain this kind of inside information.

Richard nodded and didn't take it too seriously. Let's not talk about whether the Lakers are interested in Larry Brown. Even if Larry Brown does become the head coach of the Lakers this year, after this season, He must have packed up his bed and left the house...

Because the Lakers' ultimate goal is Jackson Jackson!

Unless Larry Brown can lead the Lakers to a championship this season, his coaching career with the Lakers will not last long.

But can he lead the Lakers to win the championship? Obviously it's impossible...

…

After hanging up the phone with Adelman, Richard finished the press conference and led the team directly back to the hotel.

Kobe's current task is 33 points, 5 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 1.5 blocks. His assist data has already reached the standard...

If Kobe can get the above data in the next game against the Grizzlies, he will complete the task ahead of schedule, and Richard will also have the opportunity to receive additional task rewards.

…

The Vancouver Grizzlies are naturally not a strong opponent.

At present, there are only two core players in the team, Rahim and White Devil Bibby.

The Grizzlies management and head coach Brian Hill are actually learning to imitate the Philadelphia 76ers...

But they ignored that the 76ers had been playing poorly for countless years and had accumulated a lot of foundation, which was enough for the 76ers to have a pretty good lineup of role players in addition to Iverson's combination.

Such as Ratliff, such as Oakley, these are the things the Grizzlies want but can't get.

Therefore, the effect of this imitation was quite bad. The Grizzlies lost miserably in the first two games. They lost by 25 points in the first game and by 29 points in the second game.

Their purpose was to learn from the 76ers, but they ended up learning from the Nuggets...

This is why when the season ended, the Nuggets ranked third from last in the Western Conference, while the Grizzlies ranked first from last in the Western Conference.

Whether it is the Nuggets or the Grizzlies, the root of their problem is the lack of strong blue-collar players in the team.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Richard wants these two teams to enter the playoffs, he doesn't have to go to too much trouble and lend them the Blazers' big money and Bowen, then they can guarantee a second place. wheel level.

…

Thinking about a lineup like the Grizzlies, the defense must be extremely bad. Whether it is Raheem or Bibby, both of them are players who are good at offense, not defense.

It is conceivable that Kobe will definitely kill everyone in this game.

When the game time entered the second half of the fourth quarter, with Kobe hitting a three-pointer, the 33-point score was officially achieved.

33 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks are the statistics Kobe produced in this game.

"Congratulations to the host, for completing the Kobe Bryant primary god-making task, and rewarding the target player Kobe Bryant with two extreme steal attribute points!"

"Because the task was completed ahead of schedule and the task completion rate is 128%, the target player will be specially rewarded with one point of extreme steal attribute!"

Richard rolled his eyes, is Kobe's mission so deceptive? !

The task was overfulfilled, but no reward was given. It only gave Kobe a little more steal attribute, but I didn't get any benefits from being a host...

Originally, Kobe's steal potential was 89 points, but this time it was directly increased by three points, reaching 92 points!

The strength has definitely improved, but on the court, there won't be any significant changes. At most, the defensive deterrence is a little stronger.

…

"It has been detected that the missions of Kobe Bryant and Ben Wallace may overlap. If the two can complete the mission of creating gods within three games within three games, the system will give them a special reward!"

Just when Richard was secretly scolding Kobe for cheating on the mission, a new system prompt appeared, which made Richard a little overjoyed.

Fortunately, okay, the system still has some conscience...

Something seems wrong, give two people a special reward? ! Doesn’t that mean you still have no share of your own?

Although Richard can't use the pills that overachieved the task last time, but at least he still has the initiative to decide who should use the pills...

It's better now, even the last bit of initiative is gone.
