NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 213 On-site inspection
The game progressed as everyone expected before the game, with the Kings suppressing the Trail Blazers throughout the game.

Although Clark seemed unable to deal with Wallace, on the offensive end, the Kings still used the fast break formation to create a lot of opportunities for Clark, allowing him to score 18 points and 12 points in the "offensive battle" with Wallace. plate.

On the defensive end, Wallace originally wanted to bully Clark because of his lack of physical strength, but seeing Stojakovic, Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu coming on the bench to help defend, he gave up the idea of ​​attacking Clark inside and switched to And fire from outside.

The last thing Clark is afraid of is your outside shooting.

With his height and long arms, he restricted Rashid very well. He made 27 of 10 shots, including 5 of 1 three-pointers, and his shooting rate was barely over 1/3.

Clark's excellent perimeter defense ability also left a deep "wrong" impression on the Trail Blazers coaching staff and management.

Bunch-Welsh, who is facing off against Lu Yuanzhi, is blessed.

Bunch-Welsh likes to attack the basket and then use his excellent finishing ability at the basket to score.

But when he met Lu Yuanzhi, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Last season, he averaged 17 points per game and was the Trail Blazers' main scorer. However, against the strong and fast-moving Lu Yuanzhi, Bunch-Welsh could not find a suitable way to break through.

When attacking defenders, he usually uses his physical advantage to push his opponents into the paint.

But today, he couldn't resist Lu Yuanzhi at all!
As a last resort, Bunch-Welsh chose to shoot from the outside.

However, the mid-to-long-distance shooting rate, which was only over 30%, encountered Lu Yuanzhi, a model monster with tall arms and long arms, and his shooting was constantly interfered with. In addition to the hit rate dropping to less than 30%, he also suffered 3 solid shots. Big hat.

Throughout the game, Bunch-Welsh played extremely uncomfortable, and finally scored 9 points, 15 of 4 shots, 4 of 1 three-pointers, and no free throws.

Lu Yuanzhi went smoothly against Bonzi-Welsh. He first fired frequently from outside the three-point line, mobilized Bonzi-Welsh, and then used shooting fakes to break through and get to the basket.

Neither Dale Davis nor Rasheed Wallace could effectively block Lu Yuanzhi's layup and dunk.

Lu Yuanzhi played only 31 minutes and scored 21 points and 5 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds.

Well, because Clark was blocked, Lu Yuanzhi got very few backcourt rebounds.

Even in this game, Lu Yuanzhi found another way to feed Clark points.

Lu Yuanzhi broke into the basket, attracted Wallace or Davis to cover up, and passed the ball to the unguarded Clark, who followed up with a dunk.

With just this move, Lu Yuanzhi gave Clark two dunks in this game.

After Stojakovic gained enlightenment last season, he also increased the frequency of breakthroughs.

From outside the three-point line, last season's All-Star Game three-point champion is a greater threat than Lu Yuanzhi. As long as he makes a shooting move, the 198-centimeter-tall Anderson would not dare to let him shoot.

Stojakovic simply raised his hand and pretended to shoot, and he was able to spot Anderson, and then easily broke into the paint.

The Yugoslavs were not as good as Lu Yuanzhi in terms of finishing at the basket, but after seeing Lu Yuanzhi's ball-distribution strategy, Stojakovic also followed suit and fed Clark the ball.

The two outside players continued to break through and score the ball, directly turning the Blazers' interior upside down.

What's even scarier is that the Kings' firepower never seems to stop.

After Lu Yuanzhi and Stojakovic come off the field, Turkoglu and Jim Jackson who come on the bench will quickly make up for the firepower.

Three points of rain.

Break through the ball.

With just these two moves, the Blazers were unable to resist.

Finally, in the fourth quarter, the two teams entered garbage time early, and Randolph, who had only played 4 minutes before, got more opportunities to play.

Seeing Clark still on the court, several Kings players and head coach Adelman commented on Randolph directly off the court.

"He's very powerful. I don't think anyone on our team can resist him." This was rather vague, only talking about the team, not O'Neal.

"My hand shape is good for mid-to-long-range shooting, and my shooting mechanism is not faulty either."

"He has a clear mind and can shoot the ball very quickly when faced with double teams."

"My temper is a bit grumpy and I still lack experience. The foul just now was unnecessary."

"Can you grab this rebound? His body is too strong. He forced Pollard away!"

Adelman listened to his disciple's discussion and picked up Randolph's scouting report and last season's data.

It is indeed a piece of rough jade.

However, he soon set his sights on Randolph's graduate school, Michigan State University.

"Chris, are you from the University of Michigan?"

Weber nodded, Michigan's Five Tigers!

"You guys and Michigan State University seem to be sworn enemies!"

Of course, Weber knew the purpose of Adelman's question and smiled, "This little guy is too young. He is not from the same era as us. He has no grudges. It doesn't matter."

Adelman nodded.

Of course he knew that there was nearly a 10-year age difference between the two, so they would not bring their grudges from college to the NBA.

However, as an NBA head coach, Adelman is considered to have rich experience. If I don’t ask this question at this time, if Randolph is recruited in the future and the two have a conflict, what will he do?
NBA head coaches are not NCAA head coaches, that's for sure.

In the NBA, the first lesson all head coaches must learn is to have a good relationship with their star players.

Since Weber has no objection now, then Rotten Tofu has entered the target range of key inspections.

As for those bad habits of rotten tofu, come on, which player in the NBA is clean?
As a young player, in an environment like the prison team, it is not easy for you to just drink alcohol and not report to the police station.

Adelman believes that in the Kings locker room, Randolph will not make any waves at all, and may be influenced by a bunch of good kids, obediently focusing on training and games, and becoming the first NBA president in his life. Champion fight!
In the end, the Kings defeated the declining Trail Blazers at home with a bloodless score of 72:100.

Lu Yuanzhi also beat Bunch Wales on both offense and defense, and once again got 2 free attributes.

54 points!
Dribbling attributes are also rising steadily.

The Kings coaching staff and core players are relatively satisfied with Randolph, but one game cannot explain anything. The trade deadline is still far away, so we can continue to observe Randolph.

Randolph is just one of the target options, and there are other players worth trading.

Now it seems that the plan to help Clark score has been going smoothly.

In these two games, Clark scored 40 points and 26 rebounds, which is definitely a superstar performance.

As long as this momentum is maintained, Clark's trade value will continue to soar before the trade deadline. At that time, the Kings will have important chips in hand to select players they are satisfied with to strengthen the team.

But next, the Kings' schedule is not good. They must first go to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies, and then start three consecutive trips to the Eastern Conference.

The team is currently full of injuries. Weber, Christie, and Bibby are all absent due to injuries. Although Turkoglu and Jim Jackson have strong firepower, such a back-to-back schedule still puts a lot of pressure on the Kings.

However, no one is panicking. Everyone knows that the long regular season has just begun, and winning or losing does not matter at the moment. Now everyone's focus is to help Clark get the data, while observing the opponent's inside players to find more suitable candidates. .

Two days later, the entire Kings team rushed to Memphis for their first away game of the season.
