Card Bishop of Basketball

Chapter 79 Who is the starter?

After solving the problem of drawing cards, Meng Yifan began to look at the team's lineup. Who will play the starting lineup is a problem.

The first is the point guard, who will start?Veteran Mark Jackson?Or high pick Chauncey Billups.

The position of point guard is quite important. It can be said that it is to control the overall situation. Generally, the normal running of the ball and tactical execution of the team are all initiated by the point guard.

If the Warriors are bad next season, okay, no problem, I'll just give you Chauncey Billups enough power to play, let you completely control the ball, squander a season, don't want a record, you As long as he can grow up, he can choose a reliable rookie in 98 and take off directly.

But, the problem is that the Warriors don't plan to do badly next season, and Billups in his rookie season is not very good at adapting to the game. In addition to the bullshit off the court, the original time and space were directly sold by the Green Army management. Lost.

Pick a rookie who's been inconsistent?Or choose a veteran with many years of experience in the vertical and horizontal alliance?For a team aiming to hit the playoffs, this does not seem to be a difficult choice.

No one explicitly stipulates that the selected high-ranking rookies must be cultivated in the starting lineup. Don’t you see Darko Milicic, the second pick of the 03 generation, was also guarded by the old man Larry Brown on the bench water dispenser.

Of course, the consequence of doing this is that Darko Milicic, a new inside star who was favored by countless scouts, finally became the so-called "second place in parallel imports". He returned to his hometown in Serbia and became an ordinary farmer. Boxing against a picture of old Larry Brown...

As for the point guard, Meng Yifan plans to let the old Mark Jackson play about 20 minutes as a false starter. Billups leads the bench, and Anthony Johnson leads the team for some marginal time.

Speaking of point guards, Meng Yifan thought of Bimbo Coles again. Two days ago, Meng Yifan took this guy to his brother team Philadelphia with high hopes, and wanted to exchange it with Bowen. One, but Philadelphia has made it clear that this is impossible, and Bowen has an important role in team building.

To be honest, Meng Yifan almost didn't scold directly when he heard Philadelphia's high-sounding answer. The average playing time was no more than 10 minutes per game, and Bowen, who basically didn't play in the playoffs, what kind of important role?

Well... any brother team is fake. When he said he wanted a certain kid in the team, he immediately rejected himself like a wolf guard.Meng Yifan was very wronged, because he had only made billions of achievements in identifying players by relying on the traveler's open eyes and the system...

But fortunately, there is no limit to the road. Although Philadelphia is unwilling to trade, there are always teams who feel that they have taken advantage of it.

The Seattle SuperSonics are willing to use last season's marginal man of the team, the 1-meter shooting guard Eric Snow, to trade the Warriors' backup point guard of last season, who is at the golden age of Bimbo. Coles.

Originally, the Seattle Supersonics initiated this offer with the attitude of trying to pick up the loopholes, but found that the Warriors were very determined to eliminate Coles. If you dare to bid, I will dare to sell. The two parties happily reached a deal .

From the Supersonic's point of view, he has earned a good point guard who is in the golden age, and the team's combing on the bench is all counted on this guy. As everyone knows, Meng Yifan is also very happy here.

Snow, well, when he was most famous, he was next to Iverson, doing some dirty defensive work, but now Iverson is 1 meters, and he doesn’t need a perimeter specialist to defend himself. Wipe his own ass, Snow His true destiny, he will not be used early.

Whether Snow's time and space can successfully enter the second team of the best defense like the original time and space needs to be a big question mark. After all, not every team has overflowing offensive firepower, and a guy who can only defend from the outside is needed...

Of course, no matter what you say, Snow is much more reliable than Bimbo Coles. You may make a small profit, but I, Meng, will never lose money. life motto.

The team's starting shooting guard, don't even think about it, just choose Alan Houston, no matter in terms of hard power, honor at hand, or salary, this guy is the best choice for starting.

When it came to starting at the small forward position, Meng Yifan began to have difficulties again. The team's several small forwards have their own characteristics. The golden left-handed Mullin and the veteran sharpshooter always made mistakes. Apart from a slight decline in athletic ability, they basically had no mistakes. Big problem.

The teenager Gary Trent, who was traded from the Blazers, has good physical fitness and strong impact. With a little training, he can fool many fools into taking the bait. It is not a big problem to change to a mid-range pick in the first round.

Wu Sheng Jackson, energetic, comprehensive play, good passing awareness, can grab rebounds, has air cuts and shots on the offensive end, can also play with the ball, and the defensive end is very good in single defense and assist defense.

As for the kid who was picked up, Chris Crawford, anyway, the contract is still long, so he will hang up the training acceleration template first, and when he needs to trick someone in the future, he can show it off and then make a move.

After thinking for a long time, Meng Yifan decided to put Wu Sheng directly on the starting lineup. After all, Mu Lin has old arms and legs, and he was reimbursed for a period of time last season. On the top, the veteran has been reimbursed under the name of the name, and Wu Sheng will not be able to stand up for a while.

It's not that Meng Yifan has never considered starting Gary Trent directly, but this guy is just a tool for trading, and he definitely can't start directly at the beginning of the season. After all, there is still a period of training camp before the beginning of the season. It was used to run in the tactics and traded directly after a few games. The system that the team managed to operate with great difficulty is gone.

The team's starting power forward is undoubtedly Rasheed Wallace, but before that, it would be great if Wallace could be renewed at a low price...

The team's starting center, Mr. Shan Tao, is a kind-hearted, bald man who likes physics and reason. He is not weak in his own strength. With the Olynik star card, in the training camp, he actually feels like a replica of the wolf king Love.

Well, Love in the Timberwolves period has not lost weight. Whether it is low-post singles, rebounding, or mid-range shots, he has a good appearance. He has double-double machines all the year round and easily scored 20+20 data. Love back then In the Timberwolves, it is still very nourishing.

Then the team's starting lineup is determined like this:
Point Guard: Mark Jackson (pseudo)
Shooting Guard: Allan Houston
SF: Stephen Jackson

Power forward: Rasheed Wallace

Center forward: Shan Tao

With this set of lineup, plus a strong and powerful man on the bench, Meng Yifan is confident of making it to the Western Conference playoffs, and even said that he will have a fight with those big players, the legendary combination in NBA history.
