I am Really an Insider

"Huh? The fourth point guard?" When Wayne heard Patterson asking for his opinion, he scratched his head.

Indeed, counting Pao'er, the Trail Blazers already have three point guards this season.

There's another one, and that's the fourth point guard.

"It's up to you to make the decision." What could Wayne say? The position of the fourth point guard is not worth studying.

Wayne knew what Patterson was thinking. He just saw Pao'er injured, so he became nervous again.

I'm afraid something will happen again in the playoffs and I'll be left unavailable again.

The more people sign, the more protection you get.

It's understandable that Patterson would think so. Although the Trail Blazers won a championship and played in two Western Conference finals in the previous two seasons, it seemed to be going very smoothly.

But in fact, injuries occurred in both seasons.

Although he won the championship in the first year, Pao'er took an early vacation.

Otherwise, Rondo wouldn't be able to criticize him for lying down and winning.

I won’t talk about last season, it was all tears.

The Trail Blazers team seems to be cursed.

After Bill Walton was drafted in 1974, Walton began to encounter injuries constantly.

Although Walton helped the Trail Blazers win a championship, it almost consumed everything for Walton. In the end, Walton's career was plagued by injuries and he had no choice but to retire.

Michael Thompson, the No. 1 pick in 1978, was indeed Klay Thompson's father. His regular season attendance was okay, but he always lacked a leg at critical moments in the playoffs. He was simply the predecessor of Pao'er.

Sam Bowie, the guy who was one pick higher than the old hooligan, basically didn't play well in the Trail Blazers. He was injured and disappeared from everyone.

Later, Miles retired due to injury, and even coach McMillan resigned due to physical discomfort.

Damn it. Working for the Trail Blazers is still a high-risk industry!

With so many precedents, can Patterson not be afraid?

You're just scared to death, right?

Therefore, although Pao'er was only slightly injured now, Patterson was still very nervous.

But to be honest, Wayne wasn't worried about that.

Pao'er can't be so unlucky, can he?

You've already been injured in the regular season, you can't get injured again in the playoffs, right?

Besides, if you find a cheap veteran at this time, what use will he have?

I don’t know how many games I can play when I come here.

Therefore, Wayne would not give Patterson any advice on this matter.

You can look for it yourself.

Pao'er's injury made it not only Patterson but also Carlisle who was nervous.

After training the next day, Carlisle invited Wayne to his home for dinner.

Just in time, Carlisle and Wayne started discussing 72 wins.

"Wei, I want to know, how sure are you of winning 70 games?"

When Carlisle asked this, Wayne was completely confused.

Sure enough, coming to Carlisle's house today is not just as simple as eating.

"Confirmed? This should be no problem, as long as the lineup is complete."

"Well, it's like this. At the end of the season, as you know, the brothers are very tired.

If there is no strict control at this time, it may lead to big mistakes. This season, our goal is to win the championship, there is no doubt about it.

So, for the sake of the championship and the playoffs, I may occasionally rest the main players at the beginning of the regular season, you know what I mean?

Therefore, this may affect the regular season record.

So, I have to confirm your idea first.

If possible, maybe we can combine our opinions and come up with a method that can maximize the record while taking turns. "

Carlisle stopped pretending and showed his cards.

Although Lao Ka is an honest man, he is actually also a master of taking turns. Even the league can't fault it when it comes to giving reasons for resting.

Wayne remembered that when he was watching the Mavericks in his previous life, it was true that some players were resting at every turn, either because they felt uncomfortable or something was wrong.

But the Mavericks' players entered the playoffs, and every one of them was active again.

He may be one of the league's favorite coaches to rest players.

When it comes to acting, NBA Jim Kelly is not unworthy of his fame.

Thibodeau: Wouldn’t it be nice to have 48 minutes of rest or something?

Carlisle definitely wants to win 70 games, but compared to 70 wins, Carlisle still thinks the championship is the most important.

The reason why the Bulls' 72 wins and the Lakers' 70 wins are great is because they both won championships in the end.

Think about it, if the 70-win Lakers last season lost to the Trail Blazers and lost the championship, would their record still be praised by so many people?

Wayne: Don’t think about it. You may not believe it. I have seen such a team.

Therefore, if he had to choose one of the two, Carlisle would rather give up 70 wins.

but.

As Wei Ge's old coach, Carlisle knows Wayne's character.

What Wayne has always believed in is: Children make choices, and I, Godway, want them all!

The choice of one or the other doesn't work here in Wayne.

Therefore, if we rashly give up 70 wins, it would be a pity on the one hand, and Wayne would definitely not be happy on the other.

Therefore, Carlisle gave Wayne a break today.

Go for 70 wins, I know you want it.

But taking turns, I might still have to do it.

It's impossible not to do it, Gasol and Pao'er are both old and sick.

Failure to win this season would be a failure, so Carlisle did not dare to take any risks.

"Oh, I think we can have rotational rest!" Wayne nodded. It was indeed crucial to protect his sister-in-law and Pao'er.

"But I don't have to. I want to play 82 games this season. Rick, you know me. There is only one way for me to miss the game, and that is... to be suspended."

"Well, you don't have to rest. But for some unimportant games that are sure to win, I will reduce your playing time."

"no problem."

"Bang!" Carlisle and Wayne held hands together.

A PY transaction between men was born.

Between rest and 70 wins, Wayne and Carlisle have to have their cake and eat it too, they can have both!

After beating the Bulls, although Paoer was injured, the Trail Blazers faced Eastern Conference teams in the next six games.

Therefore, it really has no impact on the team's record.

That's right, the strong teams in the Western Conference can really do whatever they want in front of the Eastern Conference teams.

Against the 76ers, although Brother Yi scored 29 points on 4 of 6 three-pointers, Blake and Dragic only had 3 assists combined.

But this still did not affect the Blazers' 100-79 victory over the Phillies.

Without Pao'er, Wei Ge's assist numbers suddenly increased.

Today, he not only scored 27 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, but also recorded 8 assists.

Pao'er was speechless. Why does it feel like Brother Wei feels more comfortable playing without me?

It can't be!

Afterwards, they played back-to-back games against the Nets. Although there was a gap in strength, they still attracted a large number of fans to watch.

After all, this is a Chinese derby game.

Wayne wanted to win the game early and get off the field to rest early, giving the UAE a chance to perform.

But Devin Harris doesn't give the UAE room to play.

Finally, the score was about to open, and Harris scored a goal.

Finally pulling away, he scored another goal.

With his support, the Nets fought to the end with the Trail Blazers.

The final score was 105 to 99, and the Trail Blazers only beat the Nets by 6 points.

Because the game never entered garbage time, Wayne played for a long time.

So, unfortunately, the UAE only scored 5 points today.

It's not that Wei Ge didn't give you a chance. If you want to blame it, blame your teammate Harris.

It was him who forced me to move!

Speaking of which, this season the United Arab Emirates also won the main position in the Nets and played very well.

Although the injury situation is not without, it is still slightly better than in the original history. It is no longer the case of injuries right after the performance.

Unfortunately, after meeting Wayne today, Ah Lian could only admit that he was unlucky.

When playing against Yao Ming, the Arab League never faced Chairman Yao directly and was able to steal the lead.

But when you fight Wayne, there's really no escape.

After winning the Nets, I thought it would be a big win against the Bobcats on the 17th without any suspense.

Who knew that Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace was so energetic today? He made 10 of 19 shots and 10 of 13 free throws. He scored 31 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

In addition, Fei Dun also scored 22 points, shooting 64.3% from the field.

As for the Trail Blazers, everyone except Wayne missed three-pointers.

Wayne made 4 of 8 shots from beyond the arc today, but Blake made 0 of 2 shots, Dragic made 0 of 1 shots, and Parker made 1 of 5 shots.

In the end, the Trail Blazers' team's three-point shooting percentage was 5 of 17.

That's right, the team scored a total of 5 goals, and Wayne accounted for 4 of them.

Although Okafor was tortured by Wei Ge throughout the whole process, he still embraced the victory with 6 points and 5 rebounds!

97 to 102, the Bobcats defeated the Trail Blazers and won a victory that even Charlotte fans may not have expected.

After the game, the honest Gerald Wallace said bluntly: "We are lucky, you know, the Trail Blazers are not so inaccurate in every game. This is an exciting victory. , I hope this can lead us towards the playoffs!”

Well, playoffs.

After winning this game, the Bobcats' record is 16 wins and 24 losses.

After 40 games played, the winning rate is not more than half.

But don't be surprised. With such a record in the Eastern Conference, we are really not far away from the playoffs!

It's just so magical.

The Trail Blazers' five-game winning streak was interrupted by the loss to the Bobcats, which seemed to fulfill Jordan's statement that winning in the second half of the season will be more difficult than before.

Suddenly, a bunch of people stood up to praise the old gangster: "Master Qiao really knows things well!"

Of course, it is inevitable to step on and hold up, and the person who is stepped on is naturally Sir Ba.

"That guy knows nothing but fighting."

"That's right, how can anyone in this world know how to win better than Jordan?"

Buckley:

Damn, who would have thought that Gerald Wallace could play so well?

Besides, it’s none of Jordan’s business if Wallace plays well!

Can you blow this?

Sir Ba was very angry, while Master Qiao felt that this Bobcats team seemed to bring him good luck.

Um.

If there is a chance in the future, maybe I can buy it and play it!

Halfway through the January schedule, the results of the second round of All-Star starting voting have been announced.

Wayne's second-round vote count has exceeded 2 million.

From this point of view, breaking the record of 3 million is a sure thing.

In addition, the latest MVP ranking list has also been released again.

The great Kobe Bryant discovered that he was still third!

"What the hell!" Kobe was stunned. James was still in second place and hadn't come down yet!

By chance or not, the Lakers' opponent in the next game happens to be the Cleveland Cavaliers!

Can the stingy Mamba let go of this opportunity?

Wayne lost last time, but how could the Knights win?

Kobe is working hard to prepare for a big fight, 23VS24, attracting global attention.

As a result, Kobe was stunned as soon as he started the first quarter.

What is it?

Of course it’s blacksmithing, dang dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang!

True. Four Yangs turn into three irons.

Despite this, the Lakers still led by 2 points after the first quarter.

Chairman Yao has made a great contribution!

Facing Varejao, Chairman Yao made 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter and scored 8 points and 5 rebounds.

And because Chairman Yao is guarding the basket, Mousse's shooting percentage is also very average.

After seeing this situation, Nachai decided to switch to point guard today!

So in the second quarter, people found that Naochi's shots were no longer so wasteful. On the contrary, he passed the ball a lot and defended particularly hard.

The Cavaliers' second scoring point is Mo Bu, who averages 17 points per game.

It is said that this year's regular season was a blast, with a total shooting percentage of 45%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and a pull-up jump shot that is as stable as an old dog.

It really helps Mousse share the scoring pressure.

But in the second quarter, Kobe and Mo Bu started to pass the ball behind the elbow, and Mo Bu failed to pass the ball.

The Cavaliers' offense has returned to the mode of Mouss playing alone and four others watching.

Coupled with Chairman Yao's heroic performance, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers 105-88 in the end!

Kobe's statistics today are very strange. He "only" scored 20 points in the game, but he sent out 12 assists.

Chairman Yao made 11 of 13 shots from the field and scored 26 points and 13 rebounds.

These legs, he is thick and strong!

On the other hand, Mous made 6 turnovers today and his shooting percentage was only 36%. Mo was blocked by Kobe and his shooting percentage was only 37.5%.

The team's two leading scorers are both shooting less than 40% from the field, so winning this game is a big deal.

After the game, Kobe was very proud and hugged Mousse, as if to say: "Although you surpassed me in the MVP rankings, you are still my younger brother."

What?

Did I win by hugging my thigh?

I'm 20+12 and still called a thigh hug?

I just want to change my playing style today!

It turns out that I am really not alone!

Kobe, who took a team-high 22 shots, said this.

After losing this game, Mousse expressed a little unwillingness.

Kobe, you are cheating!

With Yao Ming on the inside, who can beat him?

It is indeed a bit embarrassing to lose to someone ranked lower than you at this time when the MVP rankings have just come out.

Mousse is unlucky but lucky.

Because he will get a chance for redemption right away.

A few days later, on January 21st, the Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Portland Trail Blazers at home.

This time it’s directly MVP second and VSMVP first!

If Mousse can win this game, it will be avenged.

Today's loss to the Lakers will be instantly forgotten.

To say that the Trail Blazers are definitely no better than the Lakers.

But the point is, the game against the Trail Blazers was played at the Quicken Loans Center Arena!

Many people may not believe it, but the Cavaliers have not lost at home so far this season!

So, this gave Mousse a lot of confidence.

Now that the Trail Blazers don't have Paul, this is a good opportunity to get some wool from them!

Even the Bobcats can beat the Trail Blazers, why can't I, the Cavaliers?

Even people and ghosts want to win over the Trail Blazers.

Wayne actually also drew a red circle on the 21st on the schedule.

He knew that in the original history, this Cavaliers had won 66 games. We are only 6 games away from 72 wins!

This 66-win Cavaliers are really not weak.

First of all, this Cavaliers ranks among the top three in the league in defensive efficiency and also plays a top-five offense in the league.

Role players such as Mo Mo and Delonte West played very well.

Moreover, Mousse itself has grown into its ultimate form in the 1.0 period.

At this time, Mousse was more than just a breakthrough monster and a super scorer.

After experiencing the baptism of being thrown off the field by Wei Ge 4-0 in the finals, Mous has begun to gradually understand how to lead a team. He is no longer a stupid young man who starts attacking with the ball. He has begun to gradually Learned how to lead teammates.

Such an opponent cannot be dealt with in a few moments.

After losing to the Bobcats, Wayne didn't want to suffer any more losses from the Eastern Conference teams.

In this MVP battle, Wei Ge will not accept defeat!

When meeting a serious Wei Ge, Mousse may not be as lucky as he thought...

At the same time, Patterson finally found a backup No. 1 position suitable for the team.

And, told Wayne about the result.

Wayne looked at the two candidates on the list. One was White Chocolate Williams, the one who passed the ball to nine people.

Bai Qiao won the championship with the Heat that year, and he can be considered a championship point guard, which really meets the needs of the team.

After retiring last year, White Chocolate couldn't bear to make a comeback this year, and it just so happened that Lang Youqing was interested.

But what's very damning is that because Bai Qiao retired after signing a contract with the Clippers last season, the Clippers have exclusive negotiating rights for him.

In other words, if he wants to come back, he can only talk to the Clippers first.

Only if the Clippers don't want him can he accept offers from other teams.

But the current situation is that the Clippers are not prepared to give up this right, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

Wayne then glanced at the second candidate and suddenly froze.

The name is obviously written in English, but it seems to have three Chinese characters for "Ma Political Commissar" written crookedly.

Wayne:? ? ?

Is that really the horse you're talking about?
