Healing Basketball

Chapter 215 215. This might be a rich man (Part 3 asks for a monthly pass)

On the second day of the game against the Jazz, on the 20th, a rest day, the Trail Blazers had a meeting to study and practice in the afternoon...

During the meeting, they made it clear that they were careless and drifted away. Seeing that the Jazz's record was less than [-]%, they pinched each other as a soft persimmon.

But the Jazz with Kirilenko, built around Kirilenko with Matt Halperin, Ostertag, Deshaun Stevenson, Raja Bell, Jaron Collins...they The Trail Blazers want to compete defensively with the Jazz. It may be no problem when the offense in the iron-blooded confrontation stabilizes in the future. Now they are fighting the Jazz and looking for draws.

So, after another day of practice, Maurice Cheeks approached the team's general manager.

"John, I have a signing target."

"Huh? Who?" John Nash was a little happy. The coach didn't pay much attention to him after Tianzun was traded away.

Although no one can control anyone, the general manager and the coach of the Trail Blazers are independent, but the coach is the one who needs the cooperation of most of the team's employees. Morris Cheeks is not hypocritical. Most of the team Everyone has a good relationship with him. It's embarrassing that he, the general manager, doesn't have a good relationship with the coach.

Signing this kind of thing, the coach is looking for him, that is the rhythm to break the ice!

It is definitely necessary to sign in, and he can open the checkbook as he pleases. It is definitely no problem to refer to the head coach's ideas.

Maurice Cheeks said, "Andrei Kirilenko."

"The Jazz one?"

"Yes, yes, give him a maximum salary!"

"The maximum salary is not a problem. He has just turned 23 years old, and he can average 16 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks per game... But we don't have room this summer, and we may be able to even it out next year, and his The rookie contract has to wait until next year."

Maurice Cheeks' eyes lit up: "That's right, I'll make an offer next year."

"Morris, wait a minute, the Jazz have the parent team's priority to renew the contract and the bird's right. The size and length of the contract they can give is more favorable than us..."

"what happened?"

"What's the matter...Morris, although I really want to help you get him here, but I think there is a high probability that I can't do it!" John Nash was about to cry.

"I didn't force you to dig him back, just try to make an offer, understand? If you can't get him back, forget it."

"what?"

Watching the still-unruly coach leave in a cool way, John Nash was stunned for a while.

Suddenly, he associated Maurice Cheeks' look with the handsomest guy on their team.

The operation that Morris Cheeks said was too much like that rookie would do!
John Nash was horrified to find out—"Oshiet, our coach has been infected by that kid!"

After Morris Cheeks walked away, a middle-aged man came out of the utility room of the general manager's office.

Just as he doesn't understand that a person spends tens of millions of dollars every year to run a team to play, John Nash doesn't understand why the man in front of him is hiding.

This may be the rich man.

John Nash said: "BOSS..."

"I heard it. According to what he said, I also don't like the Jazz."

"..."

In just a few minutes, John Nash felt like the most mature man on the team.

On March 3, the Trail Blazers ushered in a challenge from the New Orleans Hornets at home.

Tonight, the prisoner grows up and runs away!
21投11中，其中三分球1中1，加上6中4的罚球，单场狂飙27分9板4助攻3抢断1盖帽……

'Template' This talent makes Warden take off!He even began to imagine how cool it would be in April if the "Glory Ending" mode was turned on...

but……

The Trail Blazers did a good defense tonight, step by step, and the effect gradually improved. In addition to Liu Xiu, Randolph also scored 14 points and 16 rebounds. The strongest substitute in the league, Rahim, scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. 2 blocks, Flying Squirrel 8 points and 4 assists, Outlaws 9 points, Ruben Pat 6 points and 3 steals...

首节比分25比22分，第二节比分22比20，第三节比分26比24，三节打完，开拓者队以73比66领先黄蜂队7分。

Baron Davis, Magloire, and PJ Brown performed extremely well, and the Trail Blazers still relied on defense to firmly suppress.

But in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers, who were still not good at this style of play, could not continue to control the rhythm and collapsed...

18 to 28 in a single quarter...

At 9:27 p.m., the little flying mouse missed a three-pointer at the buzzer. The Trail Blazers lost to the Hornets 91 to 94. The Hornets suffered a two-game losing streak. burden.

Baron Davis had the last laugh with 21 points and 15 assists tonight.

In a box, John Nash was about to cry.

What's the matter!

When he finished three quarters, he was still boasting that their team adjusted quickly, looked like a king, developed in three years and competed for the championship for five years... Good guy, he was slapped in the face in the last quarter.

It's hard for people to come to the team to watch the game. Can this group of people be more supportive?

The bad coach promised to help you vent your anger on the Jazz, can you show me some face?

Another middle-aged man in the box held his chest, panted for a while, and finally recovered.

This life is really ups and downs...

"John."

"Boss, I'm here!"

"Let's see, who are they, that center, Magloire, his rookie contract is about to expire, right? He seems to be an All-Star center? Offer him a maximum salary!"

"Ah?" John Nash was stunned, and his professionalism started, and he responded: "Boss, he is not worth the maximum salary. The market price ranges from mid-range to an average salary of tens of millions. The Eastern All-Star center is a substitute. .”

"Then you first ask how much the Hornets will give him, and tell us that we will give him 100 million more per year!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man felt a little more at ease in his heart, but looking at the piles of his office, not to mention, and now his exclusive box is full of '50 wins gifts', he finally took a few days off, has been in He was almost depressed after buying and buying.

"John, I can't fit here, can you put something in your office? There's something in my warehouse in the parking lot.

I don’t have time to watch back-to-backs with you tomorrow, I have a job, you can send them these things after you have won 50 wins, you can find them by yourself...but you can’t win the game without me..."

John Nash looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was inhumane but could listen to persuasion, messed up...

Wait, that thing in the little storage in the parking lot is a gift too?

……

On March 3, the second day after playing the Hornets at home, the Trail Blazers came to Seattle to challenge the Sonics in an away game, with back-to-back games alternating between home and away.

The Trail Blazers and the Sonics have played against each other 4 times, 1 preseason game and 3 regular season games. The two teams are very familiar with each other.

Tonight, the Sonics rarely have all the main players in order!

The Sonics have suffered a lot this year, and Nick Collison, a rookie, suffered major injuries. However, the others continued to have minor injuries that would affect their performance at the moment, so they had to miss the game.

Against this opponent, the second back-to-back game, and in the tactical adjustment period, has already lost two games in a row.

To be honest, someone as victorious as Liu Xiu felt that he had to confess tonight.

Therefore, the mentality was very flat, and he led his teammates to play against the Sonics with a new style of hand-to-hand combat + personal ability + teamwork.

The mentality is calm. The losses in the past two games are not all bad things. They have learned a lot of experience, and their hardware configuration is really good, the lineup is deep enough, and there are Randolph and Liu Xiu who can score under high confrontation The four stars, Flying Squirrel and Raheem, are still two starters and two substitutes. They have made great progress!

Coupled with the fact that the Sonics and the Trail Blazers have played against each other a lot, they 'understand' the Trail Blazers' style of play very well. The sudden change of the Trail Blazers caught the Sonics off guard.

靠着兰多夫的18分14板、刘秀的12分9板5助攻、小飞鼠的19分4助攻、拉希姆的11分4板2抢断、麦克戴斯的9分4盖帽……开拓者队4人得分上双，以96比80大胜超音速队，终结两连败，50胜终于到手了！

It was night, a middle-aged man who was working overtime in New York and did not want to be named received an email from the general manager of a well-known NBA team, asking him if he could send a gift tomorrow. His hands trembled for a long time, and he replied Yes ...

……

……

50胜19负，开拓者队5个赛季里第4次50胜！
This ranks second in the NBA godless era since the lockout!Tied with the Kings!
Better than these two teams are the Lakers and Spurs. The Spurs have won 50 games this season, and the Lakers have won 47 wins and 21 losses. They are not far from 50 wins. 5 wins a season.

Teams have played between 58 and 60 games so far this season.

After this wave of 1 win and 2 losses, the Trail Blazers are still behind the Kings, and it seems that there is no change from before.

但国王队战绩52胜18负，刚刚一波三连败直接掉到西部第三了，52胜17负的马刺队靠着一波连胜上位了！森林狼队51胜17负紧随其后。

Top ten in the West, Spurs, Timberwolves, Kings, Trail Blazers, Lakers, Grizzlies, Mavericks, Nuggets, Jazz, Rockets.

The top ten in the Eastern Conference, Pacers, Nets, Pistons, Hornets, Heat, Bucks, Celtics, Knicks, Raptors, Cavaliers.

The Trail Blazers became the fifth team to win 5 games this season after the Pacers, Kings, Spurs, and Timberwolves. Winning was controversial during the period, and it naturally aroused another wave of public opinion after getting it.

However, with 13 games left, the Trail Blazers have already won 50 wins, and it is possible to win 55. As for 60 wins... the Trail Blazers will have two games against the Lakers, two Spurs, and two Timberwolves. These 6 games are enough for them to drink a pot. Even Barkley sympathized with the Blazers' schedule in the roundtable discussion at the end of the season-it is almost the same as the Clippers' schedule, which is the last in the West. !

For the Clippers, there are still 12 games to play, and 10 opponents are currently in the playoffs, 6 of which are in the top four in the East and West. The two opponents who are not currently in the playoffs also have One is the ninth Rockets in the Western Conference...

The Texas road trip has always been one of the most hated schedules for each team, so what is it like for the top three in Texas to take turns to challenge?
The Trail Blazers will play the Mavericks on the 24th, the Rockets on the 26th, and the Spurs on the 28th in the first three games of the Trail Blazers' next four consecutive games!
After these three opponents, the Trail Blazers' last opponent in March-the Timberwolves!
This schedule, even when the media with black Trail Blazers as the source of traffic predicted that the Trail Blazers would all kneel and lose the theoretical possibility of hitting 60 wins, their words and sentences were mixed with a trace of sympathy...

A good part of the black fans on the Internet felt that it was not easy for the Prisoners after seeing the Trail Blazers' 13-game schedule.

Then, a piece of news came from Portland, causing those media and black fans who sympathized with the Trail Blazers to scold the street.

Even the fans who call themselves their prisoners have a lot of abuse.

According to sources, in order to celebrate the team's 50th win again, Paul Allen, the owner of the Trail Blazers, passed the league's review and distributed 50th win gifts to all team members, with a total value of more than $50.

Among them, there is a family excavator worth 11 US dollars, which was lucky enough to be drawn by a rookie with the [-]th pick in the first round who did not want to be named...
