"Doot toot!" The referees blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Pistons slaughtered the Cavaliers by a 33-point margin at home.

This point difference is not out of the expectations of the home Pistons fans, although the Cavaliers have signs of rising, but compared to the strong Pistons, it is not even qualified to lift shoes, and it is not surprising to play this kind of point difference.

Tonight, the Cavaliers' center Big Z played a good statistic, the reason is naturally that the Cavaliers are unavailable, and almost all the offensive focus is on Big Z.

Big Z took 27 shots in this game and scored 26 points and 7 rebounds, this offensive efficiency must not be said to be outstanding, for a center, playing such an offensive efficiency is already relatively bad.

Big Z can't help it, originally Harrington was there, he could still help him contain the Pistons' interior line, but now without Harrington, the Pistons' side is completely pinching Big Z, and it's strange that he can play with good offensive efficiency.

Harrington can be said to be the worst player tonight, with the highest salary, but he only contributed 3 points and 1 rebound, which is quite bleak.

But the main reason is that he didn't play much, and even when he did, he didn't get any offensive opportunities on the field.

James, who played the same time as him, scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, which is actually quite good considering the short playing time.

But the problem is that the offensive efficiency is poor, and the six-point score is scored, but it consumes a full twelve shots.

Richard's defensive arrangement of James tonight can be said to be a model for other teams in the league, and defending James should be like this.

Many rookie players encounter the rookie wall, in fact, this is generally the reason, the technical characteristics have been figured out, and the opponent can restrain the player in a targeted manner.

For example, the later rookie 50+ Mr. Jennings is generally like this.

I believe that after this game, the Cavaliers will have quite a headache, and James will inevitably face the encirclement and interception of various teams.

……

Surprisingly, after tonight's game, the press conferences of both sides were all going through the motions.

On the Cavaliers' side, the elder Silas took Big Z to the press conference, and Harrington and James did not show up.

Originally, the reporters wanted to ask what happened between the two people, but when they asked Silas, he changed the subject and kept silent.

When it came to the Pistons' press conference, Richard didn't show up at all, so Miles took Yao Ming and Gerrard to the press conference.

Gerrard's defensive effect tonight is simply obvious to all, and Gerrard has played a very important role in defending James.

At the moment, James is actually quite afraid of a strong outside player like Gerrard, and it is not until he gradually reaches the peak of his physical fitness and develops his projection ability that he is truly an all-round player.

……

Richard did not attend the press conference, so he naturally had his own business to do.

Inside a small bar in Detroit.

Richard was a frequent visitor to this little bar, and after a busy day's work, he would come over for a drink or two.

At this moment, Harrington sat beside Richard, looking a little unhappy.

"Coach, shouldn't it be?" Harrington frowned and asked Richard.

Just now, Richard analyzed the current situation with him, and within half a month, Harrington has at least a ninety percent probability that he will be traded.

Harrington was a little incredulous......

"Whether it happens or not, let's get ready."

"I don't think the knight management is likely to offend you to death, it's not good for them."

"Maybe when the time comes, the transaction will be prioritized to ask where you want to go." Richard said with a light smile.

"How is that possible? His James strength is indeed good, but he is just a newcomer, and when he grows up, it will inevitably take a long time. ”

"I originally thought that the Cavaliers chose James to assist me." Harrington said with a grim face.

Richard waved his hand directly, and sure enough, Harrington really had the same idea as Ricky Davis.

In fact, it is quite normal to have this idea, including Ricky Davis.

Ricky Davis was the boss of the Cavaliers at the time, averaging 20+ points per game, and the team won the championship, isn't that just to assist the boss......

Harrington thinks the same way now, and Terror might have the same idea for other players.

"Man, it's okay to talk to me about it alone, but don't say it publicly."

"It's a good thing to be traded, do you think if you stay with the Cavaliers, you can still maintain the stats of last season?" Richard said with a smile.

Harrington averaged 22 points per game last season, and although this season has just started, he only averaged 17 points per game, and by the end of the season, the average points per game will inevitably be much less.

Harrington nodded, since Richard said so, then I am afraid that he really had to prepare early.

Where should I go without the knight?

Thinking of this, Harrington was upset for a while, he didn't expect that he would be in the current situation......

"Coach, do you have any recommended teams?" Harrington had no choice but to ask Richard for an idea.

Richard took a sip of his beer, "Pacers, Isaiah Thomas was fired, and now that Larry Bird is in charge, he is our own man, and if you go to the Pacers, he should use you as the outside core." ”

"Of course, it depends on what kind of chips the Pacers give, and if the chips are too small, the Cavaliers will definitely not be happy to change."

"If not, the Wizards can too, they have a lot of salary space right now, and even the Knicks are good, so staying in the East is a good option anyway."

Richard gave his own advice, and the reason why he recommended Harrington to the Pacers was actually because Harrington was normally a Pacer.

The outside core of the Pacers is basically in the same vein.

Under normal circumstances, from Reggie Miller at the beginning, to Jalen Rose who was briefly on the bench, and then Harrington as the outside core.

Then, in '05, the Pacers drafted Granger in the middle of the first round to become the new outside core, and when Granger was scrapped, Paul George took over.

After Paul George joined the Thunder, Oladipo took over......

The outside core of the Pacers is in such order.

Take a closer look at Reggie Miller, Jalen Rose, Harrington, Granger, and Pickle Pepper, and you'll see a lot of similarities in their technical characteristics.

Now, if Harrington were to return to the Pacers, it would be good for Harrington.

Of course, Richard's main idea is to make up for Larry Bird and the Pacers.

The Pacers' selection vision for this team is actually enough to rank in the top five in the league, and they often use a low draft pick to select strong players.

For example, none of the outside cores with similar styles were in the top 10 picks in the first round, and Reggie Miller, who was the highest-ranked pick, was only the 11th pick in the first round.

In the coming years, Richard could cut off the Pacers' Granger and Pickle Peppers......

If these two players are obtained by Richard, the Pacers will naturally lose a lot, so at the moment, Richard is also looking to compensate the Pacers.

After listening to Richard's words, Harrington nodded, and when he was really going to be traded, he would definitely have to talk to the team management.

……

Since Richard has lost the qualification to lead the team as an All-Star this year, he is naturally not particularly concerned about the regular season record.

The eastern side doesn't need much effort from the Pistons to easily get the first place in the east.

Under the condition of ensuring the average data of the main players per game, Richard began to develop new talents as much as possible.

At Milicic's point, Richard is still free-range and has not given too many opportunities to perform.

The main reason is also that there are too many interior lines within the Pistons, which Milicic knows well.

How could Richard give him too many opportunities to perform without a good performance of suppression.

Right now, Richard is waiting for the Cavaliers' trade news, and if nothing else, the Cavaliers should put Harrington on the shelves within half a month.

In mid-November, the league broke the news of a rather surprising trade.

It's not Harrington that's traded for the Rockets and Suns.

The Rockets sent the team's interior core Stoudemire in exchange for the Suns' Oku and Barbossa.

In Richard's view, this deal can be regarded as both sides taking what they need, and it is impossible to say who loses and who earns.

Xiao Si is in the Rockets, and it has reached the point of common anger, because of the distribution of the ball, and the team's head coach Tang Shuai and the team's backcourt core Francis, they are inextricably involved, and they often miss the team's training for no reason.

Everyone knows that this kid is very strong and has outstanding potential, but the key is that he can't control it.

In this case, it is better to sell it and get the right chips.

An Oku is quite valuable, and it is not worse than Xiao Si in terms of data, that is, it is not as high as Xiao Si in terms of potential, otherwise, it is not a problem to change Xiao Si alone.

In the end, the Suns added a strong rookie forward Barbosa, which made the Rockets nod and agree to the deal.

The deal had just been completed, and the Suns immediately contacted Richard again to prepare for further roster adjustments.

They had their eyes on Nash this time......

Prepare to trade Marbury plus a future first-round pick for the Pistons' lead point guard, Nash.

When Richard received the Suns' trade request, he was also confused.

The Suns are going to re-follow the old path of history......

Richard wondered a little that their head coach Frank Johnson should not have the courage to make a big change in the lineup.

But when he saw the name of the Suns head coach, Richard knew what was going on with the Suns.

Frank Johnson was fired, and fast attack guru D'Antoni stepped in.

It's no wonder that the Suns are ready for a roster overhaul.

Oku is slow and not suitable for fast breaking, but suitable for playing half-court offense, and as for Marbury, the fast break efficiency is quite low......

Richard was secretly speechless, and had to admire D'Antony's courage, this move was really quite risky.

If the change of blood is not successful, he, the new head coach, will definitely be pulled out to sacrifice to the sky.
