"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.

The whole Rose Garden Arena is completely boiling!

It was their first home game of the season for the Portland Trail Blazers, and Richard led the Portland crowd to home fans in a game they will remember for a lifetime.

Especially the big one......

played 39 minutes, slashed 11 points, 25 rebounds, 10 assists, 7 blocks and 2 steals, and the cheers of the fans almost topped the ceiling of the arena.

That's pretty much a quasi-quadruple pair!

Even Richard didn't expect that Big Ben would be so strong, three pairs were not finished, and he almost made a four-pair!

It is self-evident how rare and high the gold content of the four pairs is.

In the entire history of the NBA, there are only four people who have official records, and two of them are still active.

Olajuwon with David Robinson.

If Big Ben can really make a four-double, then this thing will be exciting......

Because even Olajuwon and David Robinson, their quadruple doubles were played in their prime, not in the third grade like Big Ben is now.

Who would have thought that the player that Richard got in the second round in '96 would be able to play such exaggerated statistics now.

That's a quasi-quadruple-double, an existence that countless players dream of.

In this battle, Big Ben is a complete god, before Big Ben had the nickname of the God of War, but that was because of the fight, but now Big Ben is a god with his strength on the field.

……

Gentry was secretly frightened, this kind of monster-like blue-collar interior line is really terrifying, if the Pistons can get this level of interior line, they can definitely make a difference in the East!

Because the Pistons have Grant Hill on the front line, the overall strength is certainly not bad in the league, and it can even be said to be a top-notch existence.

The difference is that the interior is too rubbish, which also leads to the fact that although they can make the Eastern Conference playoffs, it is difficult for them to go long in the playoffs.

If they can get the big book, the Pistons' problems will be solved directly, and with a little reinforcement of the backcourt, their Pistons will become the team with the best chance of hitting the Finals in the East!

The temptation was so great that Gentry felt dizzy.

……

"Ben Wallace, undoubtedly one of the greatest interior players in this league, deserves the word great!"

"If I had the chance, I would have wanted Ben Wallace to join my team, no manager would turn down such a player!"

"He is the guarantee of the team's winning, the stable figure on the field, and the most suitable locker room leader for a team!"

"What? You ask me if my contract expires this season, will our Pistons chase Wallace? ”

"I can tell you very clearly, our first target is Ben Wallace!"

At the press conference after the game, Gentry did not hesitate to praise at all, severely praised Daben, and even said that he would chase Daben as soon as the contract ended......

Thinking about the course of tonight's game, the reporters can actually quite understand Gentry.

If they were Gentry, I am afraid it would be more exaggerated than Gentry's boasting, and it is entirely possible to lean on the level of Jordan.

The advantage of Big Ben's counterpoint piston inside line is too great......

It's so big that it makes the Pistons desperate, and the two sides are like two worlds.

You must know that while Big Ben grabbed 25 rebounds, the Pistons' starting center only scored 5 rebounds, which is a bit surprising.

Imagine just the reversal of the rebounding data of these two people? Even if the Pistons lose, they won't be completely beaten by the Trail Blazers like they are now.

Not to mention that the defense of the two is not at the same level......

……

Richard heard Gentry's words at the press conference and did not look surprised.

The whole league knows that the Trail Blazers will have five super-quality players next year, facing the problem of contract extensions, and who doesn't want to share a piece of this kind of big cake.

The key is that these five players are all trained by Richard, and they can be used directly, and each of them can top half of the team.

Even Kobe, Xiao Ao and Rashid, because they are all-round enough, are regarded by many teams as the best cornerstone of the future team.

It's not just Gentry who is playing this idea, as long as the teams in the league have the chips in hand, they are playing this idea.

If the team wants to rise, how can it do without a reliable cornerstone?

The cornerstone is the foundation of the team's rebuild, such as the Timberwolves rebuilding with Garnett and the Philadelphia 76ers with Iverson.

If you choose the right cornerstone and continue to add bricks and tiles, then you can create a high-rise building.

But the cornerstone is so easy to find, and it took six years for the Philadelphia 76ers to finally run into Iverson......

Well, now that Richard has the goods in his hands, and Richard can't swallow these goods himself, he must divide some of them, and those teams that want to rebuild, the opportunity will come......

If you're lucky, if you get Kobe's favor, then casually build a lineup that is enough for them to get out of the quagmire, and after accumulating a little, they may have a chance to become a divisional powerhouse.

The Suns are the best example, before getting Kidd, they were at the bottom of the West, but after having Kidd, although they can't soar, they are now safe to make the playoffs.

And Kobe Bryant, at least in terms of his current performance, is not worse than Kidd, and even because his offensive firepower is much stronger than Kidd, he is regarded by various teams as a more suitable cornerstone than Kidd.

The young Xiao Ao, in the eyes of various teams, is not weaker than Kobe Bryant at all, Xiao Ao, who was only 19 years old last season, can contribute an average of 20 points and 10 boards per game, coupled with the identity of an All-Star starter, it is simply popular, to be strong and powerful, such a young player is absolutely priceless!

Rashid's value is definitely a little worse than Kobe Bryant's and Xiaoao's, but this kind of jack-of-all-trades player is still favored by many teams, mainly because Rashid can be integrated into any tactical system.

……

Richard was not at all surprised by Gentry's words, and in his opinion, Gentry was just saying things that other teams did not say.

This feeling is still quite subtle, the players he has cultivated, seeing that someone is leaving, it is strange that Richard can feel comfortable.

If Richard were to find these players one by one, make them take a pay cut, and then stay with the Trail Blazers, things may not have turned around.

But Richard didn't want to do it, and there was no need to do it.

Even he won't open this mouth at all, such as Bowen, if the Spurs really give a contract offer with an annual salary of not less than $4 million, Richard estimates that as soon as the season ends, he will immediately urge Bowen to report to the Spurs.

and get the big contract......
