Chapter 553: Playoffs

Just after the game, Richard received several messages.
"Congratulations to the host, the coached player Ron Artest participated in the All-Star game for the first time, and the host is the leading coach, rewarding the host Ron Artest all-star light."
Sure enough, in the end, Richard really got only one Artest All-Star light.
"Congratulations to the host, for obtaining the supergiant elbow pads in the supergiant suit."
Of the nine super-giant suits, Richard got four of them!
Immediately after McGrady got the All-Star MVP, he also rewarded Richard with a prop "The Lucky Dice for the Poor"
Richard Duck was no stranger to the prop of lucky dice. He used it to get the No. 1 pick for Yao Ming in the 2002 draft.
It can be said that this lucky dice is a very powerful prop.
And now a poor man's version of the lucky dice came out, Richard immediately observed the properties of this prop.
"Lucky dice (poor man's version), after use, there is a 1% chance to increase the host's lucky attribute to full value, a 49% chance to increase the host's lucky attribute to 90, and a 50% chance to increase the host's lucky attribute to 80!"
Looking at the attributes is an extremely good thing, but compared with the real lucky dice, it must be far behind.
At least if this thing is used in the draft, it won't have such a good effect...
Speaking of this, the number one pick is very valuable, after all, this is the pick that can pick the best player in the draft.
Generally speaking, no one will sell their top pick...
The number one pick after the No. 1 pick is a lot lower in value.
For example, the No. 2 pick with the second highest number of picks is often traded. If nothing else, at least the next draft, the No. 2 pick will be traded.
Now for the poor man's version of lucky dice, in Richard's opinion, it is estimated that the odds of helping him get the top pick are not very large. Perhaps only the one-hundredth chance will be the chance to win the top pick. .
...
In any case, although this year's All-Star harvest is not much, in Richard's opinion, it is all picked up in vain, and it is good to have a harvest.
After the All-Star, there will be about a week before the trading market door will be completely closed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, there are also a lot of teams starting to trade, striving to maximize the team's strength before the playoffs start.
The Pistons are naturally the focus of the various teams seeking to trade.
But Richard was completely uninterested in the trade, and many teams even targeted Milicic, who hadn't played much.
Of course, the given chips are not big, after all, trading Milicic is a very risky act.
These transactions were naturally rejected by Richard.
He finally saved such a Pistons lineup in order to welcome the upcoming expansion draft.
Among them, Milicic is his default candidate, and it is naturally impossible to trade out...
...
In the blink of an eye, the time has entered March, and the teams have worked hard to prepare for a good seat in the playoffs.
But the Pistons are still in a hurry, mainly because they have too many Nets leading the second in the East. No matter how the Nets catch up, there is certainly no chance to overtake the Pistons.
Moreover, the Nets don’t actually need to catch up with the Pistons. The rankings of the Eastern Conference No. 1 and the Eastern Conference No. 2 are not much different in the playoffs.
...
Seeing that the team is on the right track, we only need to wait quietly for the playoffs to come, so Richard put his mind on the NCAA.
Black March is about to end, which means that the NCAA season is completely over. Purdue University is completely cool this season. Even the qualification of the championship has not been scored. It is quite bleak.
But when old Philip received Richard's call, his heart rose with hope.
Richard informed the old Philip that he would draw up a list recently. It was precisely when they did not have to go to the national championship that they would start to be strong and recruit the players on the list.
Old Philip was naturally overjoyed. He originally planned to retire after the end of the season and handed over the position of Purdue head coach to Brownie Jr.
But with this phone call from Richard, he changed his mind and decided to continue coaching for another year. He would have to taste the championship again.
After some sorting, Richard finally came up with this Purdue list.
The top ranking is Chris Paul!
Some fans may wonder, why does Paul have such a good relationship with James? It seems that there is not much connection between these two people. Even when they entered the league, they were separated by several years...
In fact, Paul knew James when he was in high school, except that James participated in the draft after high school, and Paul chose to enter the NCAA to continue to hone himself.
From the name of Paul in this list, it can also be seen that Richard's current selection strategy has changed.
Richard has removed some of the players who have joined the NCAA before. Now in order to select more quality players with more confidence, Richard has put many freshman NCAA players on the list...
As for whether it can be deceived, it depends on old Philip's ability.
In addition to Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo is also on this list.
Rondo is not much trouble, he has not graduated from high school right now, Purdue can directly recruit.
Rudy Gay, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, Aldridge, Sean Livingston, Glen Davis and others...
There are up to twelve players on this list, some of whom have low success rates, such as Chris Paul, Richard also specifically marked out.
As a result, once this list was given to old Philip, the other party directly gave up the plan to recruit Paul...
There is no reason for him. Paul is currently playing at Wake Forest University. Old Philip knows the nature of the head coach of this team. If he wants to dig a foot from his hand, it will definitely pay a considerable price.
Although there was no waiting period for one year before the transfer, Old Phillip felt that taking Paul was really a bit of a loss.
...
After giving this list to old Philip, Richard was also relieved. At least five players in this list were recruited with considerable probability.
If all five of them are recruited, the Boilers will start again and become the NCAA dynasty team again.
In the follow-up, Richard is also able to supplement Shirafaye with fresh blood as much as possible.
...
In the blink of an eye, the regular season schedule is completely over.
The Pistons' record this season is not particularly outstanding, only 61 wins and 21 losses, but even so, it is a record that is enough for other teams in the East to look up to.
As for the West, this year's record is quite strange...
The Timberwolves in the West have only 58 wins, the Spurs in second place and the Lakers in third place have only 56 wins.
As for the fourth trailblazer, it is only 55 wins.
The Piston was silent, and actually got the top position in the league record list...
Even Richard is unbelievable. The situation in the west is really confusing.
It has always been a situation where the west is strong and the east is weak. Even if Richard has been in the east for almost three years, the first two years have been the top of the record of the western team...
Of course, this year, in fact, it can't be said that the East is really stronger than the West. Apart from the Pistons, the Nets ranked second in the East, in fact, only 54 wins...
...
The eight playoff teams in the West are the Timberwolves, Spurs, Lakers, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Kings, Grizzlies and Nuggets.
The eight playoff teams in the East are the Pistons, Nets, 76ers, Heat, Hornets, Knicks and Green Kai.
Lu Kai this season is more miserable...
They were able to reach the first half of the Eastern Conference before, but as Pierce missed a month's schedule, their record fell sharply, and they finally only took the eighth position in the Eastern Conference, almost missed the playoffs.
As a result, Lu Kai will encounter the Pistons in the first round, they are almost doomed to the first round of the game.
...
On April 17th, the Auburn Hills Palace Stadium of the Pistons, the first round of the seven-game playoffs officially opened~EbookFREE.me~Everyone thought that the Pistons would easily kill Green Kai, even Richard. Thought.
But after the first game was over, the Pistons turned out to be an unbeatable victory. In the end, there was no such situation as slinging Green Kai, but they only won three points.
This made the outside world dumbfounded, and no one expected that Green Kai, who was almost pushed out of the playoffs, showed such a strength that he could even make an almost tie with the Eastern Overlord Pistons.
It is natural that there is no reason for this situation...
Paul Pierce is like a tonight. It stands to reason that with a historical level of external defense such as Gerald Wallace to defend him, Pierce is unlikely to explode.
But Pierce broke out tonight, and the outbreak was quite brutal, with a crazy score of 46 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists.
Richard is dumbfounded on the sidelines. This is still the case of deadlift defense. If the defensive player is weak, will Pierce slash 60 points tonight? !
In an instant, Richard thought of something.
Obviously, Pierce's current strength seems to be further than before.
There may be the reason for this injury!
Under normal circumstances, Pierce's strength rose a lot after being stabbed.
It seems that the second pulse of Ren Du has been broken. From the original 20 points per game, it has soared to a score of 25+...
Now, because Pierce plays at Purdue University, his personal strength needs to be improved, and he can play a data of about 25 points per game.
Plus the impact of this trauma...
This guy is likely to shock the league next season!
