"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the Pistons slaughtered the Cavaliers' 33-point difference at home.

This point difference did not exceed the expectations of the Pistons fans at home. Although the Cavaliers showed signs of rising, compared to the powerful Pistons, they were not even qualified to lift shoes. Such a point difference was not surprising. things.

Tonight, the Cavaliers' center Big Z actually produced a good number. The reason is naturally that the Cavaliers have no one available, and almost all the offensive focus is on Big Z.

Big Z took 27 shots in this game and scored 26 points and 7 rebounds. This offensive efficiency cannot be said to be outstanding. For a center, such an offensive efficiency is already relatively bad.

Big Z can't help it. Originally, if Harrington was on the court, it could help him contain the Pistons' inside line, but now that Harrington is gone, the Pistons just want to strangle Big Z. He can play a very good offensive efficiency. That's weird.

Harrington can be said to be the worst player tonight. With a maximum salary, he only contributed 3 points and 1 rebound, which is quite bleak.

But the main reason is that he didn't play much. Even if he did, he didn't get many offensive opportunities on the field.

James, who played the same time as him, scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Considering the short playing time, this data is actually quite impressive.

But the problem is the poor offensive efficiency. Six points were scored, but it took twelve shots.

Richard's defensive arrangement against James tonight can be said to be a model for other teams in the league. This is how James should be defended.

Many rookie players encounter the rookie wall. In fact, this is generally the reason. Once the technical characteristics are figured out, the opponent can restrain this player in a targeted manner.

For example, the later rookie 50+ Mr. Jennings was generally in this situation.

I believe that after this game, the Cavaliers will have quite a headache. James will inevitably face the pursuit and interception of various teams at this point.

…

Surprisingly, after tonight's game, the press conferences of both sides were just a formality.

For the Cavaliers, Silas and Big Z attended the press conference, but Harrington and James did not show up.

Originally, the reporters wanted to ask what happened between the two people, but when they asked Silas, he changed the subject and remained silent.

When the Pistons held their press conference, Richard didn't show up at all, leaving Miles to attend the press conference with Yao Ming and Gerrard.

Gerrard's defensive effect tonight is obvious to all. Gerrard played a very important role in defending James.

At the moment, James is actually quite afraid of strong outside players like Gerrard. Only when his physical fitness gradually reaches its peak and he develops his shooting ability can he truly be regarded as an all-round player.

…

Richard did not attend the press conference, so he was naturally busy with his own affairs.

Inside a small bar in Detroit.

Richard often comes to this small bar for a drink or two after a busy day's work.

At this moment, Harrington was sitting next to Richard, looking a little unhappy.

"Coach, it shouldn't be the case, right?" Harrington frowned and asked Richard.

Richard analyzed the current situation with him just now. Within half a month, there is at least a 90% probability that Harrington will be traded.

Harrington is a little unbelievable...

"Whether it happens or not, just be prepared."

"I think the Cavaliers management is unlikely to offend you to death. This will not be good for them."

"Maybe when the time comes to trade, I will give priority to asking you where you want to go." Richard said with a faint smile.

"How is that possible? James's strength is indeed good, but he is just a newcomer. It will definitely take a long time for him to grow up."

"I originally thought the Cavaliers chose James to assist me." Harrington said with a livid face.

Richard waved his hand directly, and sure enough, Harrington really had the same idea as Ricky Davis.

In fact, it is quite normal to have this idea, including Ricky Davis.

Ricky Davis was the boss of the Cavaliers at the time, averaging 20+ points per game, and the team won the No. 1 pick. Wasn't that just to assist the boss...

Now Harrington also has the same idea. It is scary that other players may also have the same idea.

"Man, it's okay to say this to me alone, but don't say it in public."

"It's a good thing to be traded away. Do you think if you continue to stay with the Cavaliers, your statistics can still maintain the level of last season?" Richard said with a smile.

Harrington averaged 22 points per game last season, and although this season has just begun, he only averaged 17 points per game. By the end of the season, his points per game will inevitably be much lower.

Harrington nodded. Since Richard said so, I'm afraid he really has to make preparations early.

Where should I go after leaving the Knights?

Thinking of this, Harrington was upset for a while. He didn't expect that he would get into this situation...

"Coach, do you have any recommended teams?" Harrington had no choice but to ask Richard for advice.

Richard took a sip of beer and said, "Pacers, Isaiah Thomas was fired. Now Larry Bird is in charge. He is one of our own. If we go to the Pacers, he should use you as the core of the outside line."

"Of course, it depends on what kind of chips the Pacers provide. If the chips are too few, the Cavaliers will definitely not be willing to change."

"If not, the Wizards can. They have a lot of salary space now, and even the Knicks are good. Anyway, staying in the East is a good choice."

Richard gave his own advice. The reason why he recommended Harrington to the Pacers was actually because Harrington normally plays for the Pacers.

The Pacers' perimeter core is basically the same.

Under normal circumstances, it starts with Reggie Miller, then Jaylen Rose briefly takes over, and then Harrington is the core outside.

Then in 2005, the Pacers selected Granger in the middle of the first round and became the new outside core. After Granger was deposed, Paul George took over.

After Paul George joined the Thunder, Oladipo took over...

Generally speaking, the Pacers' perimeter core is in this order.

Excluding Oladipo and taking a closer look at Reggie Miller, Jaylen Rose, Harrington, Granger and Pickle, you can find that their technical characteristics are very similar.

It would also be good for Harrington if he returns to the Pacers now.

Of course, Richard's main idea is to compensate Larry Bird and the Pacers.

The Pacers' team's selection vision is actually good enough to rank among the top five in the league. They often select strong players with low draft picks.

For example, among the outside cores with similar playing styles, none of them were among the top ten picks in the first round, and Reggie Miller, the highest pick, was only the 11th pick in the first round.

In the next few years, Richard may intercept the Pacers' Granger and Pickle...

If these two players are acquired by Richard, the Pacers will naturally suffer a huge loss, so now Richard is also thinking of compensating the Pacers.

After listening to Richard's words, Harrington nodded. When he was really going to be traded, he would definitely have a good talk with the team management.

…

Since Richard has lost the qualification to lead the team's All-Stars this year, he is naturally not particularly concerned about the regular season record.

The Eastern side doesn't need the Pistons to exert much effort at all to easily get the first place in the Eastern Conference.

While ensuring the main players' average data per game, Richard began to train new players as much as possible.

When it comes to Milicic, Richard is still letting it go and hasn't given him too many opportunities to perform.

The main reason is also that there are too many insiders in the Pistons, and Milicic knows this well.

How could Richard give him too many opportunities to perform before he had a suppressive and good performance.

Right now, Richard is waiting for news about the deal from the Cavaliers. If nothing goes wrong, the Cavaliers should put Harrington on the shelf within half a month.

In mid-November, the league broke news of a rather shocking transaction.

The subject of the transaction is not Harrington, but the Rockets and Suns.

The Rockets sent away the team's core inside player Stoudemire in exchange for Okur and Barbosa from the Suns.

From Richard's point of view, this transaction is about both sides getting what they need, and it's hard to say who loses and who gains.

Stoudemire has reached the point where everyone and God are angry within the Rockets. Due to the issue of ball distribution, he has been at loggerheads with the team's head coach Tang Shuai and the team's backcourt core Francis, and often misses team training without reason.

Everyone knows that this kid is very strong and has outstanding potential, but the key is that he cannot control it.

In this case, it is better to sell it in exchange for suitable chips.

The value of an Oku is quite high, and the data is no worse than Stoudemire. That is to say, the potential is not as high as Stoudemire. Otherwise, just replacing Stoudemire would not be a problem.

In the end, the Suns added Barbosa, a powerful rookie forward and defensive lineman, which finally got the Rockets to agree to the deal.

As soon as the deal was completed, the Suns immediately contacted Richard again to prepare for further lineup adjustments.

This time they took a fancy to Nash...

Prepare to trade Marbury and a future first-round draft pick for Pistons' master Nash.

When Richard received the Suns' trade application, he was also confused.

The Suns are going back to the old path of history...

Richard was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, their head coach Frank Johnson should not have the courage to make a major lineup change.

But when he saw the name of the Suns head coach, Richard knew what happened to the Suns.

Frank Johnson was fired, and fast break master D'Antoni took over.

No wonder the Suns are preparing for a roster overhaul.

Okur is slow and not suitable for fast breaks, but he is suitable for half-court offense. As for Marbury, his fast break efficiency is quite low...

Richard was secretly stunned and had to admire D'Antoni's courage. This move was really quite risky.

Once the blood exchange fails, he, the new head coach, will definitely be pulled out to sacrifice.
