Chapter 123: Bruce Bowen

　　 Meixi Arena!
　　 This arena that can accommodate 18,000 people is the home stadium of the Suns.
　　 Both players are warming up, Richard chatted with the Suns' chief assistant Jerry Hidding on the sidelines...
　　Hidden is an alumnus of Richard De Purdue University. The two had a chat at the NCAA winning dinner before.
　　 "Lee, the team you built looks really good..."
　　 "It's okay, after all, it's a group of young people. I'm afraid only God can know where it will grow in the future!" Richard faced Hidding's lift and replied with a smile.
　　 "No, if someone says this, I definitely feel right, but you? Man, you are the God of NCAA..."
　　 "These young people you choose, I can guarantee that they will definitely become the mainstay of the alliance in the future!"
　　Richard grinned, and it was still quite comfortable being slapped with such a fart.
　　……
　　 But when the game started, Richard couldn't get up, because their Blazers lost all the time...
　　 is definitely not because of the away reasons, but because of the restraint of the Suns lineup.
　　 The three teams that the Blazers played against before were able to win because of their poor strength and slow-paced play!
　　 But Sun's lineup is not weak, plus they are the backcourt players as the core of the offensive, all kinds of fast breaks, which makes the Blazers uncomfortable!
　　Look at who is back in the Suns...
　　Kevin Johnson, an All-Star point guard, is stronger than the original Trail Blazers star speed. After retiring, he was nominated for the Hall of Fame candidate with Big Ben and McGrady at the same time, which is enough to illustrate the powerful strength of this player!
　　 The key to this guy is now at his peak!
　　 Michael Finley, yes, it was the poor man Jordan who was hammered by a boiler worker in the NCAA...
　　 Apple's Rex Chapman, a point guard with an average of about 15 points per game, is quite good!
The reason why 　　 said to steal Apple is that after the product was retired, he went to the Apple store to steal things and was caught...
　　Wesley Boson, a sophomore point guard with 13 points per game!
　　 This group of attacking players, led by Kevin Johnson, an All-Star pinnacle player, is fast enough to fly, even if the Sun is not a running tactic now, it also makes the Blazers a big group can't withstand...
　　Kobe Bryant against Kevin Johnson, the effect is not ideal!
　　It can be said that now Kobe's defense is for those old and weak, disabled and pregnant...
　　 does not seem to be pregnant, anyway, for such players, Kobe's defense is very threatening!
　　 But for the All-Star point guard at his peak, Kobe Bryant, 18, was at a disadvantage.
　　 At the end of the first half of the game, Kobe has already received his fourth foul...
　　 In the fourth quarter, with half of the game remaining, Richard replaced the team's main force, replaced with a pure bench, and gave up the game.
　　 lost!
　　 This is the first official game lost after Richard's crossing, not counting the preseason!
　　 This kind of feeling is very uncomfortable. Anyone who is used to victory will not like the feeling of failure.
　　Lonely seeking defeat, that only exists in the novel. Under normal circumstances, whoever satisfies the demand for support fails, it is estimated to be masochistic...
　　 "If you haven't lost the ball, is that still a person?!" Richard took out the words that comforted Da Zhi and comforted himself...
　　……
　　 The team lost and the problem was exposed!
　　 That's because the players are big guys, and the defensive end suffers in the face of dexterous teams with backcourt-based teams.
　　The defeat of this game, Richard is not ready to find a reason for himself, it is completely inferior to others.
　　The hotel where the team stays.
　　 The coaching staff is analyzing the reasons for the defeat in this game.
　　 "Our current lineup still has a lot of disadvantages, such a lineup can only allow us to enter the playoffs!"
　　 "But after entering the playoffs, it depends on the face of the opposing team. If they actively choose the fast break, our ending will be the same as today, be beaten!"
　　 It was indeed beaten today, losing 17 points!
　　The four teaching assistants of King Kong nodded. The problem that Richard said was not discovered on the first day. It was discovered from the day the lineup was built...
　　 Of course they can send two small players, Trent or Child Reeds on the bench, but the defensive effect is very bad, even worse than the defensive effect of the big man!
　　 As for veteran and old Curry, he did not rely on defense to eat at the peak, let alone his current age.
　　……
　　 But when the problem is discovered, what can be done?
　　 The defensive backcourt is not the kind of roadside wild vegetables that you can take if you want to.
　　 Moreover, just defending is not enough.
　　 also needs a certain amount of offensive firepower, otherwise, the offensive firepower on the Blazers field will be greatly affected.
　　Originally, their main output points were three anti-aircraft guns. If you take one, it is equal to minus one-third of the firepower!
　　 This price is too great!
　　 "Carlisle, the first thing about recruiting players with the lowest salary, let go first, you and Stevens help me find someone!"
　　After a moment of thought, Richard said to Carlisle and Stevens.
　　 "I don't know exactly where this player is, I just saw him in a local newspaper before!"
　　 "He should have played in Europe a few years ago..."
　　 "The name is Bruce Bowen, you can find him as soon as possible!"
　　 The disadvantages of the team lineup~EbookFREE.me~ must be compensated!
　　 It is not realistic to pass the transaction...
　　High-value chips, Richard is now reluctant to change out, worthless chips, want to exchange for a defensive strength, incidentally also must have a certain offensive level of the backcourt player, that is undoubtedly a fool's dream!
　　 So Richard had no choice but to focus on Bruce Bowen!
　　 To be precise, Bowen is not a backcourt, but a standard striker, but he is usually the opposing core backcourt player on the court, so he is generally classified as a backcourt.
　　 He clearly remembered that Bowen was the league entered in the 96-97 season, but he signed a 10-day short contract with the Heat and played only one game without any ball.
　　 Therefore, Bowen has not yet appeared in the league.
　　 Richard originally intended to let the Heat find Bowen. Anyway, the Heat only gave Bowen a ten-day short contract. When the contract was over, he signed Bowen with the guarantee contract...
　　 This is undoubtedly the most time-saving and labor-saving approach.
　　 But it's not working now, Richard can't wait.
　　 must get Bowen as soon as possible, otherwise, their next schedule is estimated to be uncomfortable...
　　The Suns easily lifted the Trail Blazers. It is difficult to ensure that other teams have the same skills. Open the Trail Blazers to send an unconventional starting lineup, specializing in fast breaks with the Blazers...
　　 If Bowen gets it, the situation is different.
　　 Bowen has honed his extremely good defensive skills in Europe. Now he is 25 years old. He is a mature player and can be used directly when he takes it!
　　 The key is not only good defense, but also a good three-pointer!
　　 This is simply the best puzzle for the Blazers lineup...
　　 And still that kind of cheap puzzle...
