Chapter 626: The draw is over

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, and the Pirates won the game at 97:93 at the Nets.
Mo Ning played 25 minutes in this game, which was clearly beyond his limit. The whole person was breathless after the game, sweating forehead.
Richard was a little bit distressed about the veteran, but there was no way to do it. Now, Mo Ning can only push up the pirates' inner defense, and Valecho is a little worse than Mon Ning in this regard.
Milicic scored another triple-double tonight and scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, helping the Pirates get a very important victory.
Although Paul said that the data is not too good tonight, only 19 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists are included in the account, but the role is difficult to ignore.
He played an important role in the matchup with Kidd. Tonight Kidd was obviously choked by Paul and completely absent.
The g2 started, and it was still the home of the Nets. In this game, the Pirates weren't so lucky. Jefferson distributed three powers from the outside and directly defeated the Pirates in three quarters. In the end, the Pirates lost 17 points.
This is undoubtedly a big defeat.
But this is the home of the Nets. If you lose, Richard is not unacceptable.
g3 In this game, Iguodala came to power, and all of his long shots and near-abrupt shots had a good shooting percentage, which ultimately allowed the Pirates to keep their home court.
In the g4 game, the opponent's Carter broke out again, leading the team to win.
The battle situation became confusing, and now the two sides had a 2:2 draw.
The g5 net wins and the g6 pirate wins. The confusing situation continues.
The rest of the league's first round of playoff matchups are over, and now the only Nets vs. Buccaneers matchup is a tiebreaker.
This is also the first time Richard has led the team to a tie-break in the first round since entering the league...
The main reason is that the Nets' strength is not bad. There is a trident in the lineup.
...
The last three minutes are left in the g7 game.
The situation is not good for the Pirates. They are five points behind, and in just three minutes, it is quite difficult to recover these five points.
Frank was already taking the initiative to let the Nets players start to slow down, trying to delay the last three minutes.
One minute and one second passed, and the five-minute difference has been maintained steadily.
With less than a minute left in the game, the Nets have the ball.
Carter led the ball and encountered Iguodala's interception. He directly scored to the outside Jefferson. The latter made a three-point shot and did not score.
Mourning under the basket grabbed this crucial rebound!
In the moment of grabbing, Mourning passed the ball to Milicic, not far from them. They had to fight for the minute-by-second attack and strive to create more offensive rounds before the end of the game.
Milicic made a long pass to Paul, and Paul quickly controlled the ball. After reaching the frontcourt, Iguodala received Paul's pass. He faced the defensive half-human and deity Carter, and the big heart of Iguodala. No fear, carrying Carter's defense, like a warrior who looked like death, rushed towards the basket.
"Toot!" Iguodala succeeded in picking the basket, and the referee's whistle was also remembered in time.
Carter blows a defensive foul!
Carter was in a hurry. This key offensive round, the referee even whistled?
I was thinking of finding a referee for theory, but Sanzhi told him that this point in time must not be impulsive...
Iguodala took the free throw line, hit a free throw, and scored 2+1. There was a final two points left between the two sides.
...
With the last thirty seconds remaining in the game, Richard immediately called for a timeout.
"Defense their offensive round, Andrei, if nothing unexpected, their offense round will allow Carter to fencing, you must guard, be careful not to foul." Richard directed at Igorda La said.
Iguodala's stats in this series are not particularly good. Except for one outbreak, the rest of the stats can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.
But Iguodala's role on the defensive end is quite large. Without his efficient defense of Carter, the Pirates could not have reached the tie-break.
Now that the key round is over, Richard needs Iguodala to stand up and continue to defend Carter closely.
"Relax, coach, I will make you satisfied." Iguodala said with a smile.
Except for being a little greedy for money, Yige has nothing wrong with him.
Even if it's greedy for money, it's actually not a problem. The gentleman loves money and has a way. No one can pick out the problem if one brother doesn't steal or snatch.
...
After the timeout, the personnel from both sides returned to the stadium.
Richard's estimate is not wrong, Frank really let Carter to handle this last offensive round.
It's not difficult to guess, it can be guessed by changing to another head coach.
The Nets will definitely need a trident to handle this critical offensive round.
Kidd is not good at attacking and must be excluded...
Jefferson's poor ball holding ability is far inferior to Carter.
Let Carter carry out this last attack, even if he is strictly guarded, he can finally score in a timely manner while holding the ball.
...
With eight seconds left in the Nets' offensive round, Carter started to move.
Carter's goal for this goal is very clear, that is to impact the basket, even if they do not score, as long as they can make a defensive foul, their Nets are considered winning.
One brother did not dare to reach out to steal. If a defensive foul is played at this moment, it is the team's sinner.
Carter has already rushed into the free throw line and jumped directly to prepare to shoot.
Iguodala didn't expect that Carter would give up the breakthrough and instead shot in the middle. It was too late to block.
With such a short distance, Carter's hit rate can be imagined.
The fans at the scene are already ready to cheer with their mouths open. If the goal is scored, the Nets lead by four points, and it is basically difficult to lose.
But without waiting for them to cheer, Paul and Milicic shot sideways, and the two leaped at the same time, struggling to block.
As a result, Milicic's finger touched the ball, missed the trajectory, hit the rebound, and was snatched by Mo Ning under the basket.
It was another valuable rebound, and Mo Ning's final performance tonight was perfect. Two life-saving rebounds gave the Pirates hope.
Richard watched Mo Ning grab the rebound and immediately used the last timeout in his hand.
There are still two points left, and if other coaches are left, they may choose the safest two-point tactics and try to drag the game into overtime.
But Richard is not, he has a radical gene in his bones, ready to arrange the next three-point tactics.
Of course, in addition to Richard's radical personality, he is also very clear that dragging overtime to the Pirates is completely a chronic suicide.
The main players of the Pirates, except Moning, the other four played tonight for about 44 minutes. With such a long playing time, they continue to play overtime. The disadvantage is too great.
It's not as good as this final shot. If the three points can be scored, the team will win. If the three points are not scored, pack up and go fishing.
...
After the timeout, both men and women began to return to the field.
Paul, Granger, and Iguodala run wildly. They are the points of attack for the next attack, whoever has the opportunity to attack.
In the end, Granger found a chance. Jefferson, his opponent, was arguably the worst trident in defense.
Watching Granger's three-pointer fly towards the basket, Richard silently prayed that he would hit.
"Duang..." The sound of ironing made Richard's prayers useless.
The Nets fans cheered at the scene.
But at this critical moment, Mourning came forward again and grabbed the rebound in Kostić's mind.
Another valuable rebound, Richard is now very fortunate to have chosen Mo Ning in the expansion draft.
Without Moning’s three rebounds, the Pirates are completely cool.
There is still a chance, and there are three seconds left in the game.
Mo Ning passed the ball to Milicic for the first time. Milicic looked at the time. At this moment, it was definitely not enough time to pull out a three-pointer.
The ball was first passed to Iguodala without the ball.
Iguodala's three points are not particularly good, at least not as good as Paul and Granger.
But now he can only cling to his scalp.
When Iguodala made a three-pointer shot, Richard felt relieved...
Perhaps this is the hope given to Richard by looking at a brother in desperation.
Because the shot time is too short, the first three-pointer shot position of the brother is already a little distorted, and there is no beauty, but Richard is very confident in his heart, this ball can definitely be scored.
Sure enough, the ball stumbled on the rim and finally got into the rim.
...
Richard breathed a sigh of relief. Iguodala's performance at this critical moment will not disappoint.
After this three-pointer hit, there was less than one second left in the game, leaving little time for the Nets.
Unless a player in their lineup is able to possess Fisher, they must lose.
Frank's face was blue, and he had no chance to suspend now. This is the most deadly place.
Costic served in the backcourt, but Carter took a long throw after receiving the ball, but he didn't even hit the rebound...
"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.
The Pirates advanced and succeeded in the following victory.
Iguodala's quasi lore at the last moment directly ruined the Nets' hope of promotion.
The players came off, Richard one by one hug his players, especially Iguodala, this member of the blessing will be greatly praised by Richard.
In terms of performance, Iguodala is not the best in this series.
But at this critical moment, he saved the Pirates.
Richard Dexi couldn't help himself, this was also a rare experience.
Know that before again, Richard never played such a difficult first round of the playoffs.
After surpassing the first round, Richard relaxed a lot, and then regardless of the outcome against the Heat, the Pirates' results this year are acceptable.
...
Richard led the players back to the court and would shake hands with the Nets.
Old Robinson looked at Richard and smiled bitterly.
"Coach, you always make people so unexpected."
"Old man, will you continue to fight next year?" Richard patted Robinson on the shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Play one more year. It's one more year. Anyway, I have a championship ring in my hands..." Robinson is now enjoying the game completely, and there is not much pursuit of the team's record.
Richard couldn't help but respect this iron man player. Robinson will be 41 years old next year...
In addition to following Richard's championship, his career has never been too high-gloss, so even if his 41-year-old veteran is still fighting on the nba stage, there are not too many fans concerned.
This is a lone living fossil veteran...
"Li, congratulations, you have done another earth-shattering event." Frank's lonely face squeezed a smile.
"Lawrence, if you have any difficulties, remember to contact me." Richard also did not know how to comfort Frank.
He only knows that Frank's coaching career in the Nets is over. Maybe the Nets management will release an official announcement tomorrow to dismiss Frank...
Frank's coaching ability is good, but the lineup collocation ability is average. Of course, the Nets' lineup collocation may not have anything to do with him. It is made by team executives.
When Frank was fired by the Nets, if he couldn't find a job, Richard could provide him with an assistant position to help him transition.
Staying in the mountains, no worries and firewood, as long as you can stay in the nba circle, sooner or later you will find the opportunity to come back.
"Thank you, Lee." Frank nodded bitterly. He understood Richard's meaning and his present situation.
...
The lottery is held in mid-May, and now is the beginning of May, and there is still about half a month.
When the second round of the playoffs is over, it is probably the time when the draw meeting begins.
In the next round of the playoffs, the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Pirates were obviously not so lucky.
O'Neill met Richard, it was really envious of the enemies met, this round of the series directly burst out the peak power, averaging 29 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, directly destroyed the Pirates Inside.
Little Valecchio suffered from shark ravages. After a game, he was bruised.
And Old Mourning, this level of confrontation, he can play 15 minutes a game is good...
In the end, the Pirates lost to the Heat with a big score of 4:1, ending their own playoff journey.
The only game won was that the Pirates won from the outside, and it was very difficult to win.
...
Richard is quite satisfied with this year's playoff journey. After all, he also reached the Eastern Conference semifinals. With the Pirates lineup, he can't demand more.
...
During the Eastern Semifinals, major awards in the regular season were released.
Richard was named the head coach of the year, increasing from 11 wins last season to 42 wins this season. The increase in win rate is terrifying. There is no competitor in the entire league.
I got another coy, and now Richard has four coy honors in hand, becoming the head coach with the most coy in the entire NBA history.
Although this thing is not a great honor, but at least Richard now has the honor of being the pinnacle of the coaching staff.
Everyone knows that this is just Richard’s first step in catching up with famous coaches, and he will definitely be able to break more and more records.
The head coach who has won the most championships in league history right now is Cardinal Auerbach. He has 9 championship rings on hand, all of which were won by Green Kay.
Followed by Zen Jackson Phil Jackson, he has seven championship rings on hand, including six bulls and one Lakers.
Then there is Richard...
Richard holds five championship rings, including three Blazers and two Pistons, ranking third in the coaching group.
Considering the age of Richard now, everyone knows clearly that the third is definitely not the limit of Richard. In the future, Richard has a great possibility to surpass the Cardinal.
...
As for the fourth place is the operator Patrielli, he currently has four championship rings on hand, but if the Heat win this year, he can have an extra ring on hand, will tie Richard.
But even if it is tied, Richard may not take too long to get rid of Pat Riley.
Pat Riley's current age is basically about to bid farewell to the coaching stage, but Richard has infinite possibilities.
...
In addition to Richard getting coy, Chris Paul was also named Rookie of the Year.
This honor is well deserved for Paul. Throughout the season, Paul averaged 19.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 1.7 steals. A quasi 20+10 stat. Looking at the entire NBA history, few point guards can play in the rookie season. Such data comes.
In addition to these two honors, Iguodala was selected for the best defensive second team, which is also a kind of strength for the second-year Iguodala.
...
On May 15, the nba lottery meeting began.
Although Richard did not go to the scene, he was also concerned about the live broadcast of the draw.
The lottery was carried out in an orderly manner according to the process. Richard was not in a hurry, because with the Knicks' record, the guarantee was also the fifth pick, enough for Richard to use.
Of course, it is better to be higher.
Soon except for the top three picks, the results of the other picks were released, and the Knicks were not among them.
This also means that Richard is about to get a top three pick.
"I announced that it was the Portland Trail Blazers who won the third overall pick in the first round." Stern announced on the court the ownership of the rookie pick~EbookFREE.me~ Under normal circumstances, the Blazers actually got It was the fourth overall pick, and their luck was terrible. The league's worst record was the fourth overall pick.
However, luck is much better now, with the penultimate record in the league, we have won a lottery.
...
Seeing the Trail Blazers draw a lottery pick, Richard is a little speechless, won't he really pick the top pick this time?
"I announced that the team that won the second overall pick in the first round was the New York Knicks." Stern announced the attribution of the No. 2 pick.
Richard smiled, it wasn't just the No. 1 pick. He always got the No. 1 pick, and his character was defeated...
This year's top pick is not much different from the No. 1 pick.
The Raptors holding the No. 1 pick is completely a brave pig. They can't get in and out. They are expected to take out chips to exchange for the No. 1 pick. Don't even think about it.
The key Bagnani is not as attractive as Bogut...
Bogut's team packed him into Duncan, and Bagnani's team was obviously weaker in this respect.
...
"I announced that the Toronto Raptors won the first overall pick in the first round."
At the end of the draw, Richard was formally relieved.
A second-round first pick, a first-round 16th pick, a second-round 16th pick, and a second-round 21st pick from the Bulls.
Enough is enough, absolutely enough, the Bulls' 21st overall pick, even at all, is not used.
Because besides Millsap in the second round, there wasn't any player who made Richard feel.
Of course, it is not without a good second-round pick, such as Daniel Gibson with the 42nd pick, the strength is still good, but Richard must be insignificant, and he can use his list for some benefits.
