The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 170 170 Let's vote with a cold-blooded heart!
"Yes, the absence of Nolan Smith must be made up."

"Tsk tsk, I just didn't expect them to be able to trade for Billups!"

"If the deal of the Trail Blazers is completed, the strength will not decrease but increase!"

Billups, but the grassroots FMVP that the Pistons won the championship that year!
He has played in the Eastern and Western Finals for many years and has no technical shortcomings. He has significantly improved his record. It is only because of his average appearance, his team is not very popular, his style of play is not very interesting, and his fans rarely receive attention, so he does not have so many honors.

In terms of strength alone, Billups is definitely the top three point guards in the league!
Although it is now at the end of his career, it is still no problem to transition as a backup point guard.

His passing skills and ability to read the game have become more and more enchanting with the accumulation of time.

The fans watched the game and imagined that the Blazers would become stronger after Billups and Courtney Lee joined. They couldn't help but look forward to the playoffs in the near future!
Where can we go this year?

Second round?

Western Conference Finals?

Final?

Or the championship?
……

102: 127!
Without any suspense, the Trail Blazers defeated the Jazz again.

周斯轻取25分7板12助2断3帽，三节轻轻松松打卡下班。

Courtney Lee is not particularly upset even though she made [-] three-pointers!
He has been paying attention to Coach Stotts, and he found that as long as he achieves good results on the defensive end, the coach will not say anything if he fails to make a three-pointer, let alone push him directly to the bench!
That's a good start!
……

On the second day, watching coach Stotts bring another new face, everyone in the Trail Blazers expressed their warm welcome!
Especially Lillard!
This cold-blooded and big heart has always been an example for him to learn from!
Chauncey Billups!
Zhou Si also extended a warm welcome to Billups!
As one of the youngest teams in the NBA, having such an experienced driver will definitely help them a lot in the next playoffs.

"Crack, crack, crack~"

After a while, Coach Stotts clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, said a few words of welcome to Billups, and arranged today's training content.

Although coach Stotts gave the former king a lot of respect, he did not indulge him too much.

He doesn't want the phenomenon of doves occupying the magpie's nest and overwhelming the guests!
As long as Zhou Si is in this team for one day, he is the only owner of this team.

In addition to the regular physical recovery, the main training content of the Blazers today also added some tactical positioning, aiming to help Billups familiarize himself with some basic tactical positioning of the Blazers.

For Billups, a point guard with a very high basketball IQ, he has completely mastered the simple tactic of the Trail Blazers after running it a few times.

Billups has a high basketball IQ and a high EQ, and he gets along with other teammates in just one training session.

Billups, who just returned to the Pistons last summer, was quite resistant to joining the Trail Blazers.

But the players on and off the Trail Blazers made him regain a sense of his youth!
Since I can still play, why not continue to shine and strive to win another championship?

……

The next night, the Trail Blazers once again ushered in the challenge of the Timberwolves.

A few days ago, the Timberwolves wanted to use Love to trade Thompson. The news spread, but...

The Warriors turned it down!
In the eyes of many people, the Warriors are really crazy, but that is the new wolf king Love!
And Thompson?
Just an unknown 3D shooting guard!
Except for Zhou Si, no one knows what a correct choice the Warriors made!
That's Tang God!
3 points in 60 quarters!
13 three-pointers!
All kinds of life-defying existences!
Closer to home, the current record of the Timberwolves is 27 wins and 28 losses, ranking tenth in the East, and the position is extremely embarrassing!
They have little hope of hitting the playoffs, and they can't compete with those teams that have already given up all games.

Zhou Si comforted Zeller well before the game, let's improve his ability.

But Zeller doesn't think so!
Zhou Si can lead the team to the second place in the Western Conference. It is not a big problem for him to lead the team to the playoffs, right?
Zhou Si rolled his eyes helplessly. James only led the Cavaliers to ninth place in the Eastern Conference back then. Now the Timberwolves are now [-]th in the Western Conference. It’s great, right?
In this game, new aid Billups did not disappoint the Trail Blazers fans. After playing for 10 minutes, he handed over 8 points, 4 assists and 1 steal.

The statistics are not particularly against the sky, but the effect is very obvious, and the offense of the substitute is well organized by him.

When his teammates feel bad, he can also help the pick-and-roll or cover to help his teammates find an open space, regain the feel or break through to cause damage.

The former king is not bragging!
Coach Zhou Si and Stotts were very satisfied watching off the court!
After a day off, the Blazers head to the Denver Plateau!
Facing the old owner with the same record as the Timberwolves, the new aids continued their stable performance.

Billups' playing time increased to 15 minutes, and he handed over 10 points, 5 assists and 1 steal!
Courtney Lee's defensive power remained undiminished, and even stole the Nuggets' starting shooting guard Foye twice!
The offensive end may be affected by touch, but the defensive end will not.

The Blazers' bench players were happy.

They used to be at a loss when Zhou Si was not on the court, but after Billups came, everything changed.

He is like a conductor who can always control the situation on the field and tell them what to do!
Coach Stotts did not slap Billups for the team's record and continued to increase his playing time.

12-15 minutes is just right for Billups now, and his body will not be able to bear more.

Coach Stotts trusts the conclusion of the team doctor!
The game against the Nets at home even directly allowed Billups to rest!
Although the Nets are currently ranked seventh in the East, Coach Stotts really doesn't look down on those old arms and legs.

Starters: Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Garnett, Brook Lopez!
Substitutes: Kirilenko, Buletcher, Evans!
The paper lineup of the team formed by this local tyrant is really bluffing, but the results have not come out.

To sum it up with an old saying:
They have not recovered from the pain of losing the UAE!
132: 82!
The Trail Blazers ran and bombed the old guys directly.

Coach Stotts regards the Nets as the object of his tactical practice.

The intensity of the next game is getting stronger and stronger. With the running-in of the new aid, the Blazers' performance has become more and more stable.

Under the leadership of Billups, the Trail Blazers' substitutes became more and more confident, and they didn't even suffer from the main players of many bad teams.

In addition, under the guidance of coach Stotts, the starters are becoming more and more familiar with the tactical system, and they are becoming more and more tacit, and they can play an advantage against most of the teams.

Then the substitute came to reap another wave. Many times, the main players clocked out after the third quarter.

Although the Trail Blazers still won and lost after Billups joined, the self-confidence of all the Trail Blazers players has come out!
Even the overlord Heat, who felt powerless before, can just do it!
Although they still lost the game in the end, they believe that as long as they feel better, winning the Heat is not a dream!
