Bishop of the Devil

It's like saying that the Blazers themselves can put together a best lineup and a best defensive lineup!

Their team has Kobe, the most powerful player in the regular season this season!

He has the strongest defense in the regular season this season!

We have Richard, the most capable coach in the regular season this season!

There are also a bunch of players who were selected to the All-NBA Team, All-Defensive Team, All-Rookie Team, and Best Sixth Man!

Such a lineup makes every team in the league feel like they want to die.

How to beat such a team? !

How is it possible to beat others? !

No one can make a difference, no one can beat them, unless the league puts together an all-star lineup, and then it takes a year and a half to run in, and then there may be a chance to compete with the Trail Blazers!

But is this possible? ! Obviously impossible!

For a time, if you ask fans which team is the strongest in the entire NBA history, countless fans will give the same answer, the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1998-1999 season!

The Bulls dynasty is indeed strong, but they have never harvested honors like the Trail Blazers!

Every team must be extremely panicked, but they also know that the Blazers can't maintain their strength for long!

At least next season's Trail Blazers' strength will drop even further!

With so many powerful players, they would have to spend a lot of money to renew their contracts. If there was no salary cap, Paul Allen might choose to renew his contract, but now that there is a salary cap, even if Paul Allen wants to renew his contract...

Richard naturally knows this truth. Under normal circumstances, when Kobe was with the Lakers, after the rookie contract ended, the Lakers offered him a six-year contract worth more than $70 million.

Now Richard's salary to Big Ben and Xiao Ao will definitely be as close as possible to this contract amount.

They all have the ability to get this salary. Will Richard have the heart to let them reduce their salary significantly? !

Definitely impossible!

If Richard, a time-travelling person, can only rely on the salary cuts of his players to maintain the team's competitiveness, then I have to say that he, a time-traveling person, has simply failed!

…

The life-and-death game between the Knicks and the Heat ended with the Knicks taking 27 free throws in a single game.

The Knicks naturally won this life and death game, because their opponent, the Heat, only had 9 free throws in this game.

Miami fans were furious, but New York fans were at ease...

Regardless of New York's poor regular season record in the past two years, they have always been among the top four in the Eastern Conference, but they have managed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals two consecutive years.

…

On May 31, the Western Conference Finals schedule finally started.

The attention this game received was terrifying, and it directly set a historical record for the ratings of the Western Conference Finals!

Many fans even viewed this game as the finals.

…

"Guys, why do you feel a little nervous?" Richard asked curiously before the game, looking at the players in the locker room.

It is completely unreasonable for the Blazers to feel that the players are so nervous now that they have the ability to defeat everything.

"Coach, we are indeed a little nervous!" Ben said with a frown.

"Huh? What's going on..." Richard asked in confusion.

"Because we all want to create a real miracle, a miracle of undefeated season!"

"Whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, we won't lose a game!"

Kobe grinned and said...

Richard nodded. It was normal to have this idea. Not to mention the players, even he must have thought about creating such a miracle.

"Next season, we don't know how many players will leave the team. We hope to create a miracle that other teams can look up to before going their separate ways!"

"This way, even if we go our separate ways in the future, we will still have a common memory!"

Generals, you said to Richard without saying a word...

Richard smiled bitterly: "Guys, I understand your mood very well!"

"But don't think so much now, our only goal now is to kill the Spurs and win the championship!"

"Don't let the small lose the big. If you want to talk about a miracle, our undefeated record in the regular season is already a miracle!"

The generals nodded, Richard was right, their biggest goal now is to win the championship!

It would be funny if the Spurs killed him because he thought too much and let the Spurs win the championship...

…

The starting players of both sides have already begun to appear.

Richard looked at the Spurs' starting lineup and saw that there wasn't much change compared to when the game started, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Spurs have no lineup changes, which means they are still no match for the Trail Blazers.

Maybe they will get a win in the hands of the Trail Blazers, but they will definitely not be able to win the Trail Blazers in this series!

Even Richard felt that it would be difficult for the Spurs to win a game...

The Spurs' starting lineup includes the Twin Towers plus Elliott, Junior General and Bulls veteran Cole.

The perimeter is still too weak. Although Cole's three-pointers are accurate, his defense is not very good.

Because of defensive matters, Cole was often scolded by Gang Leader Qiao.

However, Cole also had a bad temper and scolded Gang Leader Qiao on the training ground...

There are many opponents who have scolded Gang Leader Qiao, but Cole is the only one who dares to scold Gang Leader Qiao's teammates.

Even a madman like Rodman never had a direct conflict with Jordan...

The game went on in an orderly manner, and Duncan has grown a lot compared to last season.

The Trail Blazers and Spurs played against each other in the playoffs last season. Duncan was still a bit immature at that time, after all, it was his rookie season.

This season, Duncan is even more difficult to deal with.

But Duncan is growing up, and so are Ben and Ao...

Especially Ou, who was at an absolute disadvantage against David Robinson last season, and sometimes had to let Sao come to the rescue.

But now he doesn't need anyone to come to the rescue at all, he can deal with the admiral on his own.

David Robinson is one year older, and his strength has definitely declined again.

Last season, David Robinson still averaged more than 20 points per game, but this season he only has 15.8 points left. If it is said that the improvement of the Spurs' outside lineup has taken away David Robinson's shots, causing him to score Decline, that’s acceptable...

But compared to last season, the Spurs' outside lineup has not changed much, and they have not introduced any All-Star players. The huge decline in David Robinson's scoring is purely caused by the decline in personal strength.

Now Xiao Ao is no longer Wu Xia Amon, and he can even have a slight advantage against the admiral.

These boss-level centers are really old...
