The recruitment of new boiler workers has come to an end.

Black March is over, and the boilermakers have beaten their opponents in the NCAA finals again and won the NCAA three consecutive championships!

This is the third consecutive NCAA championship, and the Boilermakers are definitely the hottest team in the NCAA league today.

In this case, it doesn't take much effort to recruit new students......

Because when Richard recruited new players before, he gave a lot of opportunities for the substitute to perform, and after the old Philip took over, he also implemented Richard's strategy.

For example, in the No. 1 position, the starter is Billups, but Bibby also gets a third of the starts.

Naturally, these target players have no reason to refuse the boilerman......

The bearded Davis was the first to get it, and Bronny Jr. promised a guaranteed one-third of his starts.

Secondly, Odom and Brand also agreed without saying a word......

What Richard didn't expect was that Artest and Larry Hughes, after thinking about it again, also made the decision to join the boilermaker!

It is equivalent to saying that the list of seven people given by Richard, except for Maddie and Battier, all the others were successfully recruited!

Five super newcomers have been added, making the strength of the boilermaker even more terrifying......

Richard's first season as a coach of the Boiler Workers was a four-star roster, and his second season was a nine-star roster.

In the first season of Richard's departure, the Boilermakers were a seven-star lineup, and now they have directly become a ten-star lineup!

It's just horrible!

……

Naturally, Richard was quite satisfied with this result.

The tougher the boilermakers, the more solid Richard's rear base became.

……

The Trail Blazers coaching staff spent two days discussing how to target the Lakers.

As a result, there was no big gain, and the only gain was the crooked and evil way proposed by Zhang Weiping......

And this crooked way may not come in handy, and it is not impossible for the pioneers to steal chickens and rice.

The current plan can only be to take one step at a time.

……

Los Angeles, the City of Angels!

The entire Trail Blazers, plus the coaching staff and logistics, have checked into the hotel two days early.

They will stay in Los Angeles for the next few days until the first two games of the first round of the playoffs.

At present, the first round of the playoffs adopts a five-game system, and if the Trail Blazers lose all of the next two home games of the Lakers, the situation will be more miserable......

The players are very self-conscious, and although Los Angeles is bustling, they don't have the heart to go outside to find excitement.

……

On April 23, the Lakers sat at the home of Staples to face the Portland Trail Blazers.

"Guys, take it easy, there's no need to be so nervous!"

"I believe God must be on our side!"

Richard clapped his hands, cheering up the players.

"Our No. 4 starting lineup in this game, Ben, look for a chance to try O'Neal's free throw touch after the start!"

"Rashid, Robinson, and Kobe, the three of you do a good job of perimeter defense!"

Fifteen minutes to go before the start of the game, Richard gave another careful advice.

Played against the Lakers four times in the regular season, and each time Richard came up with a different starting lineup.

Among them, the No. 4 starting lineup is the most effective set, the old Sabonis is the center, the big Ben is the big forward, and the remaining three are Rashid, Robinson and Kobe.

Old Sabonis has good tonnage and strength, and in the process of countering O'Neill, the effect is better than the current Big Ben.

But the disadvantage is that Lao Sa can't last too long, and if he keeps fighting with O'Neal in hand-to-hand combat, he can maintain his heyday for 25 minutes......

Beyond this time period, Lao Sa will not be able to do it.

The body can't bear it, after all, at such an old age, there are still all kinds of old diseases on the body.

……

Players from both sides began to enter.

Richard was still relaxed, he knew that it was useless for him to be nervous, and then it would be up to his group of players to play.

"Doot toot!"

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the originally noisy Staples Arena suddenly fell silent.

This is the Lakers' first playoff game since bringing in O'Neal.

Lakers fans are naturally looking forward to it, the situation of the Lakers is actually similar to that of the Trail Blazers, after they met with the Trail Blazers in the 90-91 season, they have not touched the floor of the Western Conference in the past few years, and have been hovering in the first round......

Now that O'Neal's arrival has made Lakers fans wonder if the most dominant super interior in history will lead their home team to kill the Bulls?

……

Lao Sa jumped the ball with the Sharks, and the Sharks got the ball for the Lakers in the first offensive round.

Fan Maniac held the ball and advanced against Kobe's defense, and after the ball reached the frontcourt, it was transferred directly to Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones took advantage of his teammates' pick-and-roll and made a shot, but it was an iron.

O'Neal under the basket squeezed Sabonis away to get the offensive rebound, and then rolled over and dunked directly.

"Rebound!"

"Rebound!"

Richard stood on the sidelines and reminded Big Ben loudly.

The opponent's offensive round, if O'Neal has been allowed to grab offensive rebounds, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the Trail Blazers......

So Richard would rather let Big Ben let go of his opposite Campbell than let O'Neal easily grab the offensive rebound!

Big Ben nodded at Richard.

……

The Trail Blazers' offensive round, led by Rashid, has been the most reliable weapon in the Trail Blazers' positional offense.

"Huh!" Rashid rolls over and hits.

Rashid's hit made Richard breathe a sigh of relief, and the situation he was most afraid of was that the Lakers beat a wave of climaxes at the beginning, in that case, it would definitely be quite fatal for the new army of the Trail Blazers!

The new army is not as resilient as those old strong teams, and the start is at an absolute disadvantage, which has a great impact on the morale of the new army.

……

The Trail Blazers players on the court are very focused, especially Rashid and other three outside lines, the defensive end is quite in place, and the Lakers themselves can't play fast offense, unless they are willing to give up O'Neal, a big killer under the basket, and shoot directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt......

Or O'Neal also joins the fast attack, desperately running back and forth, and then playing for twenty minutes out of breath because of the huge tonnage......

The Lakers can't be fast, and they can't be fast, and in this case, the three anti-aircraft guns on the outside of the Trail Blazers are very comfortable to defend.

The Lakers' backcourt is the main output point of their team except for O'Neal, but because of the excellent defense of the three guns, their offensive efficiency after the opening is not excellent, and it can even be said that it is a little bad......

Eddie Jones hit just one of his opening four shots and finished with two points......

And Fan Maniac didn't go crazy today, missing three shots in the opening game, and when he passed the ball to O'Neal, he was stealed by Kobe Bryant once.
