Chapter 406: Zen Master's Honey Confidence

And now what makes Stern speechless is that the mutual spraying between the two parties is actually based on Richard's absolute advantage.
Originally, Stern was still thinking about it. With a qualification like Zen Jackson, Richard went to spray Jackson. That was purely a matter of death...
But now it seems that Richard is not dead and is still alive and well.
Not only does he live well, his opponent Zen Master Jackson is going to be mad at the moment.
Kobe directly missed two days of team training...
If you change to someone else, the Zen Master can let this player immediately roll over the night roll out!
Kobe? ! He couldn't do it!
Although he didn't get along with Kobe for a long time, he knew quite well about Kobe's temperament...
Jordan does not participate in the training, what will the Zen Master say? Certainly not……
Not to mention Jordan, even if Rodman or Pippen did not participate in the training, he would not say anything.
In the eyes of Zen Jackson, Kobe's temper is even more paranoid than Jordan.
No doubt, even if he shows a little dissatisfaction with Kobe, Kobe may tear his face completely with him!
Who is Kobe? !
The youngest regular season MVP in NBA history, the second youngest final MVP, will he take into account the feeling of Zen Jackson? It's impossible!
Kobe is now "crazy" and boundless...
The Zen master knew too much the importance of Kobe to this Lakers!
If there is Kobe, as long as the Blazers’ hacking tactics are not effective, the Lakers really have the strength and the Blazers!
Without considering the shark-cutting tactics, the two sides played normally, and the Zen Master felt that the Lakers had a 60% chance of winning the Blazers!
Once the Lakers play a little more than normal, the Blazers have absolutely no chance of winning!
No one knows where the self-confidence of Zen honey comes from!
...
What made Stern even more dumbfounded was that in the Philadelphia 76ers game against the Rockets after a week, the two sides had a strong fight.
Or to be more precise, the Philadelphia Gemini played a solid pippen...
What stunned countless fans was that after the conflict, no one on the Rockets was able to help Pippen, allowing Pippen to be locked up, and then Iverson got a big punch and his face was swollen.
The Philadelphia 76ers now rank second in the East, second only to the Pacers in the East.
The Philadelphia Gemini is now a pivotal player in the league.
Kobe is currently the league's first point guard, but Iverson said it is not too much to be the first defender in the East.
As for the big Zhi, people with clear eyes can see that the league takes care of him quite a lot...
So even if Pippen was beaten, the Philadelphia Gemini was not severely punished, but both were suspended for two games.
Pippen called a chill...
One is the attitude of the Heart-cold League. He, a six-crown gangster, the League did not help him at all!
He was beaten up by the two devilish boys, and the league only punished the two suspensions!
The second is the attitude of Xinhan Rockets teammates...
Olajuwon was not present, Barkley and Francis were present, but the two of them were just watching the excitement.
But Xin Han couldn't help it. He signed a rather generous contract with the Rockets, and he couldn't make money without making money...
...
In the blink of an eye, time entered the end of March.
What everyone did not expect was that this year's NCAA National Championships, which has won five consecutive championships at Purdue University, is the last eight in the final stop!
This caused countless fans to collapse. They originally thought that Purdue University could break the record, but now it seems to be no drama!
When Richard received this news, he also sighed.
There is really no way. Purdue University has had bad luck in the last two years...
In two years, ten players have entered the NBA, but the two-time Golden Arch All-Star Game, the lineup is very shabby...
At least it seemed quite shabby in Richard's opinion, and ultimately it only supplemented Purdue with three slightly more reliable players.
Prince Prince, Mike Miller and Jason Richardson.
Even if these three people are reliable, their strength is far inferior to their seniors. The three men joined forces to stop the quarterfinals. In fact, Richard has already predicted.
And Richard feels that Purdue University wants to win the championship next season, in fact, it is still difficult, because this year's Golden Arch All-Star list has been released, of which Richard only found two powerful players.
One is Elvis Gerald Wallace...
The other is Zach Randolph...
Among them, Randolph is a high school student in Indiana. He has a considerable probability of choosing Purdue University. As for Elvis, he is not sure.
If Elvis joins, Purdue's strength will increase a bit when Mike Miller enters the NBA next year, and he has a chance to hit the championship!
But if Elvis doesn’t join, Purdue University’s strength is limited. If you are lucky, you may win the championship. If you are unlucky, you may stop in the quarterfinals like this year!
Richard was quite helpless...
He has a feeling, how does the number of NBA stars seem to be Wang Erxiao's New Year, one year is not as good as one year...
In fact, Richard's feeling is right. In the years to come, there will be a lot of stars in this year.
But in fact, if calculated carefully, the number of stars in 2003 is actually not as good as 96, 98 and 99 years.
That is high quality.
...
With the decrease in the production of stars in the future, it is actually not easy for Richard to actually save the Trailblazers.
...
The March schedule was completely over, and the Blazers are still ranked second in the Western Conference, not surpassing the Lakers.
The main reason is that Richard has been looking for opportunities to train newcomers. Many games would rather lose the game, and will also allow newcomers to play for a while.
The wins and losses of the regular season games are no longer Richard's main considerations.
What he considered was how to improve the overall strength of the team before the playoffs.
In February and March, Richard also thought about starting a new round of god-making missions, but the result was no trigger success.
Mainly the remaining newcomers, the strength is still slightly weak, it is quite difficult to want three players to score 20 points at the same time.
Under such circumstances, Richard did not force.
...
By the end of the regular season in April, the playoffs fans were looking forward to finally arrived.
After playing a whole season, the Blazers' lineup this season has given fans countless surprises, but there are also some disappointments...
For example, Richard McGrady, who traded from the Raptors, is definitely better than the Raptors last season.
But the problem is that countless fans originally thought that Richard introduced McGrady.
As a result, McGrady averaged 14.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. Although the data is quite good, it is definitely unrealistic to say that this data can take Kobe's class.
On the contrary, Ginobili made the fans quite elaborate. The South American rookie Richard got in the second round has played far better than the draft pick this season!
This is definitely a huge surprise, because it is not too much to say that Ginobili is a white version of Kobe, based on pure performance on the field...
As for Artest, although this season's statistics are not really good, only 6 points and 3 rebounds per game are accounted for, but the key to this guy is tough defense, averaging 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.
Almost completely replaced Bowen's role in the team last season. As long as the opponent has a sharp-pointed player in the backcourt, Richard will definitely put Artest on the court.
Even because Artest is rugged enough and strong enough, it is better than Bowen when defending some stunned guards.
As for Nowitzki and Harrington, the Blazers are probably the biggest surprise this season.
Nowitzki has averaged 20 points per game this season and has grown into the No. 2 scorer in the Trail Blazers.
The No. 1 scorer is naturally Xiao Ou. He has 23 points and 11 rebounds per game this season!
As for Harrington, this season has averaged 16.7 points and 8.2 rebounds, which is quite gorgeous!
The entire Trail Blazers have a double score of seven people!
O'Neal, Nowitzki, Robinson, Harrington, McGrady, Ginobili and Mobley.
Many fans looked at the technical statistics after the Blazers season ended and were puzzled...
Good fellow, how did the Blazers average so many players in double figures per game? ! Seven people!
Two of them are averaging 20+ points per game...
It seems that the average scoring of these seven people is more than the Blazers' scoring average this season!
This is really strange...
In fact, the fans can think about the reason carefully.
The main reason is that Richard has used a lot of tactics this season, and many players are often put on the list of rotation.
For example, Xiao Ou played only 59 games this season...
In the game he didn't show up, naturally other players can score more points, and Xiao's average score will not be affected.
Even Nowitzki, who has gradually stabilized this season, was turned off by Richard for a dozen games.
...
In addition to these seven players scoring double figures, the remaining big Ben and Artest both put all their energy on the defensive end, neither of them scored in double figures.
Artest averaged six points per game, but Big Ben was even worse. He averaged only 4.6 points per game...
Everyone knows that Big Ben's free throws are pretty good now. No one has hacked sharks. In addition, Big Ben rarely shoots and has no ability to create fouls, so the average score per game is naturally poor.
But no one cares about how many points they scored in the big game...
The remaining three did not score in double figures, namely Kirilenko, Lewis and Old Curry.
Old Curry is now almost completely in the state of retirement, usually appearing on the team's training ground, pointing the new people's three points, rarely playing games, this season only played a total of 20 games, the average The playing time is less than ten minutes.
For this situation, Old Curry is acceptable...
He is also very clear that the current Trail Blazers are full of talent, such a veteran who has no potential at all, it is really not necessary to compete for the debut time of new people.
As for Kirilenko, he is not an offensive player himself. Although Richard has been vigorously trained this season, he still averages only 8 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steals and 1 block per game.
The performance is actually pretty good, but it certainly can't be regarded as the top data...
As for Lewis, the air generally has little sense of existence.
Now that Richard has made up his mind to start training Lewis next season, then this season will let this kid endure some loneliness first.
...
The regular season ended altogether, and the playoff list was hot.
Fortunately, in the West, except that the Blazers did not get the top position on the record list, which is more unexpected, the other teams' record can be guessed before the start of this season.
With the addition of Kobe, the Lakers are very strong right now. This season, they played a 69-13 super record, almost 70 wins!
Among them, there is a wave of 19 consecutive wins. If it is not the Spurs and the shark hacking pit, the Lakers have a chance to win a 20-game winning streak this season!
Although the 20-game winning streak is far from the Blazers' all-winning record last season, it is also a remarkable result.
With the joining of Kobe, O'Neill's preliminary data is still quite powerful, but with the Christmas War game finished, each team has regained the shark hacking tactics.
Looking at the league's posture, it is estimated that it is necessary to start restricting shark cuts. In this case, the head coaches of each team also want to catch up with the trend and take O'Neal to start the operation.
This directly caused O'Neill's data to drop a lot...
By the end of the season, O'Neal averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds per game, which is a bit less than when the season started.
But even so, O'Neill's data is the most amazing existence in the entire league.
In fact, compared with Kobe's average data of 30+5+5, O'Neill's 27+13 data is not worse than Kobe.
Richard felt that Kobe Bryant's desire for the MVP regular season this year must be overwhelming. If nothing unexpected, MVP of the regular season this year may be taken by O'Neill.
The main reason is that Kobe has already obtained the MVP last season. Unless he has a huge breakthrough this season, otherwise, the reporters who voted are more inclined to vote MVP for other players.
O'Neill is fully qualified to compete with Kobe Bryant for MVP!
The history of MVP in the regular season MVP is not common, and there are only a handful of players who have received MVP in the entire NBA history.
Russell, Chamberlain, Bird Bird, Jabal, Moses Malone, Magician, Joe Gang, LeBron James, Curry, Nash and Deng...
This is the case of all MVP companies in Richard's memory that have appeared in the NBA's decades of history.
Among them, Russell, Chamberlain and Big Bird are more powerful. All three of them are regular season MVP triplets!
Throughout the history of the NBA, these three have achieved three consecutive MVP regular seasons.
Others are at most two consecutive villages...
The key point is that there is no two-person shared MVP in the regular season. It is not as entertaining as the All-Star MVP. You can get the MVP together.
Otherwise, it is actually possible for Kobe to share the MVP with O'Neill this year.
...
As for the second Blazers in the Western Conference, this year there is definitely no way to get involved in the regular season MVP. First, the record is not as good as the Lakers. Second, the team’s best stats for the Olympics, 23+11 per game, far inferior to Kobe and O’Neal... …
So in any case, this regular season MVP is unlikely to fall into the hands of the Blazers.
Since there was no drama at all, Richard simply didn't care about it.
In fact, not only the MVP of the regular season, but also the honors that the Blazers won last season.
Not to mention, this year's best coach Richard must not be able to get it.
The main reason is that the Trail Blazers must have slipped compared to the previous season, with a record of 59 wins and 23 losses.
Of course, Zen Jackson must not have won this award.
Not only Zen masters, well-known coaches on the western side, such as Popovich and Sloan, certainly won't get them.
Most likely to be picked up by the Eastern coach...
What Richard did not expect was that the Jazz might have been stimulated by Richard. After the All-Star game, he madly fought and finally rushed to the third position in the west.
They have won 55 games this season.
As for the Spurs, they have 53 wins, ranking fourth in the West...
The Spurs have turned off many games for David Robinson this season, resulting in their regular season record not being outstanding.
But even so, no one dares to underestimate the Spurs!
As for the second half of the Western Conference playoff teams, there are the Suns, Timberwolves, Supersonics and Kings.
After Danny Angie was fired, the Suns record soared again, and new coach Scott Skiles still had two brushes.
Coincidentally, this Skiles can actually be regarded as Richard's fellow...
Before he took office in the first game against the Trail Blazers, he and Richard had a good relationship with him. He is an Indiana and is naturally familiar with Purdue University.
What's more embarrassing is that he actually came from Michigan State University, a rival team of Purdue University.
But the two didn't mention it when they were chatting...
As for the Timberwolves, they have entered the playoffs this season. No one is surprised. The Timberwolves have gradually gained momentum. With several wave of trading operations, their lineup has become quite reasonable.
Maybe let these players grow for another year or two, and their young team will also rise like the Blazers!
Well, it is unlikely to rise like a trailblazer...
The Supersonics have always been a strong team in the West. Although they are now degenerate, but the thin and dead camels are bigger than the horses, and they have the super-giant star in the team. They have no surprises in the playoffs.
Under the leadership of Adelman, the King finally tasted the playoffs...
...
Overall, the record on the west side is not unexpected, and is generally in the prediction of the fans.
On the contrary, the record rankings on the east side are a bit ghost...
The Pacers won the first place in the Eastern Conference with 56 wins, the Philadelphia 76ers won the second place in the Eastern Conference with 53 wins, Green Kai won the third place in the Eastern Conference with 52 wins, and the Heat ranked fourth in the East with 51 wins!
Lu Kai's team was suddenly killed from the fish-bellied group, which caused countless people to drop their chin!
The point is that they are not the kind of killing step by step, but a sudden record burst.
The original Lvkai has always been in the top three in the west, but the record suddenly jumped to the top three in the east. Such a record improvement is absolutely terrifying!
Undoubtedly, Pitino is still very likely to be the best coach this year!
...
At the beginning of the deal between Lukai and the Eagles, many people still felt that Lukai was losing money!
But now they can't say such a thing. The effect of this transaction is so good that it exploded, and Lu Kai flew directly!
The four teams in the second half of the East are the Bulls, Hornets, Raptors and Bucks!
The Bulls are another team with a record soaring!
They were the penultimate record in the league last season. As a result, after introducing Rashid and Brand this season, they directly returned to the Eastern Conference playoffs.
As for the Raptors, it is even more shocking!
This team, which hasn't been in the league for long, has made the playoffs for the first time...
Relying on the excellent performance of Carter and Wu Sheng Jackson, this team is still quite competitive.
The only shortcoming is the inside, they lack decent inside players, which restricts the possibility of their record!
...
The Grizzlies were so angry, they said they would be together, but the Raptors secretly entered the playoffs.
This season, the Grizzlies can only be said to be unlucky. Rahim injured a third of the schedule, making them extremely difficult to play.
If Rahim wasn’t injured, then the Grizzlies might have a chance to make the Western Conference playoffs this season.
...
The Blazers will start their first round of playoffs on the evening of April 17.
The opponent is the seventh supersonic in the west.
After playing the supersonics, without any surprise, the Blazers will play against the old Chou Jazz in the second round.
Then meet the Spurs or Lakers in the Western Finals!
As long as they can win the Western Conference, the championship will be stable...
...
At seven o'clock on the evening of May 17, the home dressing room of the Rose Garden.
In front of Richard stood a nervous Teddy...
An hour before the game started, McGrady was suddenly called by Richard.
McGrady is very nervous now~EbookFREE.me~ I don’t know what Richard wants to say to himself...
"Young man, how about staying with the Blazers this season?" Richard asked with a smile.
Maddie stunned, what a ghost question.
"Good..." McGrady replied with a smile.
He stayed in the Blazers is really good, the Blazers locker room atmosphere is good, and he also got more opportunities to play than in the Raptors, certainly not unhappy.
But this is definitely not the only thing he wants. He wants to be the core player in the backcourt.
Although he is still a starter now, but at the core, he feels that Ginobili from the bench is more like the backcourt core of the Blazers.
...
McGrady doesn't know what it feels like now, and he still likes the Blazers, but when it comes to selling life for the Blazers, that's not enough.
