Bishop of the Devil

By the time the game was over, David Li felt relaxed all over because his data tonight was really impressive.

This game was his career debut. As a result, Richard allowed him to play 38 minutes on the court. In the end, he scored 23 points and 9 rebounds, almost recording a double-double.

However, in terms of defensive statistics, David Lee was relatively miserable tonight, with all his blocks and steals data at zero.

It's not that Richard didn't expect this kind of thing. David Lee himself is relatively embarrassing in terms of defensive data.

He averaged only 0.4 blocks per game throughout his career, which is definitely quite embarrassing for an inside player.

Looking at the defensive efficiency value, David Lee's value is actually quite good, reaching 106.

Although this number is not much better, it is at least reasonable and can be regarded as average.

The key is that his defensive efficiency value is relatively high. He joined the Warriors, Greencaps and Spurs in the middle and late stages of his career.

The defensive systems of these three teams are all top in the league. After David Lee joins, the defensive efficiency will naturally increase.

Taken together, David Lee's defense is relatively weak, and he is a fairly typical player with strong offense and weak defense.

But at least he still has a strong offensive position, and coupled with his status as an insider, as long as he can develop normally, his future future will definitely be good.

…

This offseason has seen countless trades and transfers, so many that it's outrageous.

The most frightening thing is undoubtedly the composition of the Lakers F4.

Gloves Payton and Malone have joined the Lakers, and the West is about to become unrest again.

Malone is completely desperate for the Jazz to win the championship. With Ricky Davis as a dragster, the Jazz have no hope of winning the championship in the next few years at least.

As for Payton, he is also tired. What he wants most right now is definitely to get a championship ring.

Richard originally had the idea of ​​contacting Payton. After all, Payton still had strength, and the number of point guards on the Pistons was also a bit tight.

Of course, the main purpose is to weaken the Lakers...

Watching your competitors grow is undoubtedly the stupidest behavior.

Although Richard doesn't pay much attention to Lakers F4, it is not impossible if something changes and affects the Pistons' consecutive championships.

If Payton is removed, the Lakers' F4 will be unable to gather together, and their threat will be reduced a lot.

But what made Richard a little bit annoyed was that Payton directly rejected Richard's invitation and turned around and joined the Lakers directly.

This is a bit interesting. Richard never expected that Payton, who was determined to win the championship, would choose the Lakers instead of the Pistons...

Any fool can see that the Pistons are more competitive than the Lakers!

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be a reason why Payton didn't come to the Pistons...

If he comes to the Pistons, he can only play as a substitute. After all, the Pistons have a player like Nash who is qualified to compete for the league's number one point guard. How can Payton squeeze out Nash and become the starter.

And if he goes to the Lakers, Fisher will definitely have to make way for Payton. It is not impossible for Payton to play the second position, and Kobe can play the third position.

Even if the Pistons win the championship in the end, Payton will only win the championship as a substitute. If he wins the championship with the Lakers, Payton will win the championship as a starter.

The two have completely different meanings.

Although Payton wants a championship, at least right now he doesn't want to hug the Pistons. That would be beneath his status.

Richard sighed and could only accept this reality sadly. Payton was still reserved and unwilling to join the Pistons. Richard could not find someone to kidnap him to Detroit.

…

As for Malone joining the Lakers, it seems like a bluff, but in fact, it is just that. Malone's dominance at the power forward position has become much weaker, and he often encounters injury problems.

After all, age is there. You must know that Ma Long is 40 years old now...

…

The arrival of the Lakers' F4 lineup set off a wave of discussion during the offseason.

Their lineup is really too luxurious...

Many Lakers fans are relieved. If such a lineup goes to the finals, the championship is already within their grasp.

With such a strong lineup, what can the Pistons do to beat the Lakers...

Lakers fans were happy from ear to ear, but fans of other teams in the Western Conference yelled that it was unfair, thinking that the Lakers' operation was so disgusting that they simply wouldn't give other Western Conference teams a way to survive.

Some scolded them for being in a group, some scolded them for being shameless, whatever.

Richard felt that this matter was a bit baffling. Speaking of which, the luxurious F4 of the Lakers is almost the same as the three former Rockets.

All seniors get together and give it a final try to win a championship.

Later, Green Kai also imitated the operations of the Rockets and Lakers and hired two old men to form the Big Three of Green Kai.

Then came the Heat...

But if the Heat team up with these old guys, the situation will definitely be different.

It is actually true to say that the Heat are the originator of the peak team-building trend. After all, whether it was the Rockets, the Lakers, F4 or the Green Kai Big Three, they were all old men...

…

The Lakers' F4 lineup has been reached, but Richard doesn't pay much attention to it.

It's unlikely that old guy Larry Brown will lead the grassroots Pistons to victory, and the new Pistons he carefully built will lose to this F4 lineup.

It's even possible that this Lakers team can't even make it out of the Western Conference...

…

David Lee's performance in the first game of the regular season was remarkable. In the next two games, the Pistons were still away from home.

Richard once again started David West for two games.

Speaking of David Lee and David West, their styles are almost the same. Their offensive abilities are quite good, but their defensive end is a bit lacking.

They are also similar in height and in the same position. They entered the league in the same class and both won championships with the Warriors.

Even the names are the same. It would be a pity that these two people don't have a relationship.

…

After three games, the Pistons have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, which is definitely not outstanding, but because Yao and Ke were rested, such a record is acceptable.

After three opening away games, the Pistons ushered in four consecutive home games.

The opponents are the Grizzlies, Magic, Warriors and Nuggets.

On October 19th, the Pistons sat at the Palace of Auburn Hills to meet the challenge of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Last season, Hubie Brown, a well-known veteran coach in the league, took over the Memphis Grizzlies. Under his efforts, the Grizzlies' lineup has improved a lot, and now it is strong enough to enter the Western Conference playoffs.

It can also be seen from this that the abilities of these veteran coaches are really not just bragging.

Thinking about the Grizzlies' life in recent years, it's really sad. In the draft that just ended, their second pick was taken away by the Pistons...

But in such a bad situation, Hubie Brown actually led the Grizzlies to rise. This ability really has to be admired.

At the referee's whistle, the Grizzlies' starting players began to appear, center Pau Gasol, power forward Mike Miller, and the two forwards and defenders were Bunch Wells and James Posey. The point guard is Bai Qiao Williams.

This starting lineup can be said to be quite good. There are no weak points. The five starting players are all above average.

As for the bench, their players are also quite good, including Shane Battier, 2000 second overall pick Swift, Earl Watson and others.

But even though Hubie Brown is taking care of the Grizzlies well now, they are still not enough in front of the Pistons, the team of kings.

From the beginning, Yao and Ke succeeded inside one after another, leading to a 6:0 climax.

Although Gasol entered the league a year earlier than Yao Ming, his strength has not improved much in the past two years, and he has never averaged 20+10 per game.

But even so, Gasol is currently one of the top centers in the league, and he will definitely be able to get the maximum salary like Big Z in the future.
