Zhang Weiping, who was on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he finally entered the finals.

If he can't enter the finals this year, even if Paul Allen values him again, he will definitely not be able to keep him.

Richard led the team to three consecutive championships, and without much change in the lineup, Zhang Weiping did not enter the finals for two consecutive years, how could the fans endure it.

Coupled with the fact that the Trail Blazers roster will become weak next season, it will definitely be even more difficult to reach the Finals in the future.

……

Richard also watched the race, but the result was not what he expected, saying that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

And now the camel of the Trail Blazers has not lost much weight, and is still in a strong period, although the Spurs have improved a lot in the past two years, got Parker, and signed Ginobili, but compared with the Trail Blazers' lineup, there is still a slight gap.

Therefore, in Richard's view, it is not easy for the Spurs to survive the tiebreaker and only let the Trail Blazers win narrowly in the end.

If you were to be yourself, I am afraid that you don't have the ability of Popovich, and you can still play so anxiously when the lineup is inferior.

……

The finals teams in the East and West have all been released.

The Pistons in the east and the Trailblazers in the west.

What shocked all the fans was that these two teams were all created by Richard.

The Trailblazer is Richard's eldest son......

No, to be precise, the boiler worker at Purdue University is Richard's eldest son, and the pioneer is Richard's second son.

The Pistons were Richard's youngest son.

Now Richard's two children who have been trained by his own hands are about to start a showdown, which directly arouses the attention of countless fans.

There are so many things to watch in this series......

No matter who wins or loses in the end, it will definitely spark countless discussions.

Before the start of the Finals, the Pistons were going to say that it was impossible not to be nervous.

Although the Trail Blazers did not enter the Finals last season, their main lineup is still there, and the accumulated majesty is still there.

Regardless, the Trail Blazers are one of the strongest teams in the entire history of the NBA......

With a team like this coming up, the Pistons will definitely be a little nervous.

You must know that most of the Pistons are newcomers, even the oldest Nash, has no Finals experience at all, and his best playoff results before coming to the Pistons were only in the second round of the playoffs.

And at that time, he was still mixed with Kidd with the Suns, and the team's participation in the second round of the playoffs had little to do with him.

……

"Guys, look at your worthless looks!"

"Nervous about what? The Trail Blazers are no team they can't beat! ”

Richard clapped his hands and said to the Pistons during the team meeting.

The generals sighed in their hearts, although Richard said so, but the trailblazers with a neat lineup seem to be really unmatched.

"There's no need to be nervous, the Trail Blazers are a team I built and I'm too familiar with them!"

"Trust me, the final winner of this series must be us!"

"You will lift the championship trophy in half a month!"

Richard shouted loudly in high spirits, in this situation, he, the head coach, must cheer up the generals, otherwise, before the game starts, the morale of the players will be low, so how can he win this round of the finals.

"Da Yao, I know you're still thinking about the previous loss to Obeng."

"There's no need to think about it, you were not the same thing as now, your current strength has surpassed Xiao Ao, and this alliance is probably O'Neill can slightly press you!"

"You know, the MVP of this regular season is you, not the Trail Blazers, not Xiao Ao, not Big Ben!" Richard shouted.

In the second round of the playoffs, all the awards for this regular season have already been released.

The Pistons, for their part, won numerous awards and eventually became the biggest winner of the season.

It's normal to say, after all, the Pistons were still bad last season, and this season's performance has improved hugely, so they can naturally win more awards.

The first is COY, the honor of best coach, which was easily won by Richard.

It also makes Richard one of the most COY decorated coaches in NBA history......

When Richard wins this award again in the future, he will be able to remove the word one or two and monopolize this honor.

Of course, Richard doesn't care much about this COY, he cares more about the championship.

……

In addition to Richard's COY, Yao Ming also won the honor of regular season MVP, which is definitely well deserved.

Although he was not unanimously elected, Yao Ming received a lot more votes than the other contenders.

The All-Star MVP and regular season MVP have all been obtained, and in the next round of the finals, if Yao Ming can get the FMVP, he will complete the feat of MVP Grand Slam in his rookie season.

Scorpion poop, the history is unique!

……

In addition to this regular season MVP, the honor of best rookie must also be won by Yao Ming.

After all, the MVP has been obtained, how can it be possible to let the best rookie fall to others.

All-Rookie Team, All-Defensive Second Team, All-Defensive Second Team.

This season's Yao Ming can be said to have gained a lot and won quite a lot of honors.

If it weren't for O'Neal, I'm afraid Yao Ming might be selected for the double team this year.

With so many high-profile accolades in his rookie season, Yao Ming is making history and changing his career on a normal trajectory.

In addition to Yao Ming, Clark is also full of harvest.

This season, Clark won the All-Star starter, All-Defensive Team for one team, block king, All-Defensive Player, and All-Team team.

Although it is not as good as Yao Ming, it must be a qualitative improvement compared to Clark's normally bad career.

What makes Richard a little strange is that Clarke's mission has been completed without receiving his reward......

……

Gerard Wallace was also named to the All-Defensive Second Team this season.

According to Richard's recollection, in fact, there must have been no place for Gerrard in this year's best defensive second team, and there was a player in the defensive second team this time who made Richard more impressive, so he was quite familiar with the defensive second team list this time.

Eric Snow was originally the second defensive team for this shipment......

The player is a two-way guard, and James fans should be familiar with him, or James is certainly no stranger to him.

In '04-05, he joined the Cavaliers......

At that time, there were James, Big Z and Larry Hughes in the Cavaliers lineup, and many fans felt that these three were the big guys in the Cavaliers, and the other players must be CBA-level.

Actually, if you want to say that the level of the NBA's defensive second team is CBA-level, then there is really no one......

This Eric Snow's defense, even if it is not as good as Bowen, is not much worse.

It's a pity that after a few years of playing with the Cavaliers, it was scrapped, from the original average of 10+ points per game, directly dropped to an average of 4 points per game, and even in the last season of the Cavaliers, the average was only 1 point per game......

Originally averaged 10+ points per game, with defensive strength at the level of the second team, this is a fucking Tony Allen.

……

So let's be honest, some fans say that James's teammates in the early stage of his career are CBA, which is obviously a bit of an underestimation of James's teammates.

Everyone has a brilliant experience, Larry Hughes defended for a while and was a big leader, Snow defended for the second team, this is a heavy honor, how can it be CBA......

……

But now Eric Snow clearly has no chance to get into the second defensive team, and he has been squeezed out by Gerrard.

……

"Think about the accolades our Pistons have won this season, how much have the Trail Blazers won us?"

"If there are more honors, it means that we are better than the pioneers!"

"If you are stronger than them, what is there to be nervous about!"

Richard was loudly encouraging the players, and although I don't know how effective it was, it was still to be encouraged.
