NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 43 The team needs to change

Because Liu Rui knew very well that even though he was reborn, his tactical attainments were more due to the use of the advanced style of play of later generations in advance, but this style of play would be figured out sooner or later.

Especially in the playoffs, when the two teams have to face each other for up to 7 consecutive games, it is difficult for me to hide.

And at that time, what the team really relies on is the players, which is why there is a saying that the regular season depends on the team and the playoffs depends on the superstar.

Similarly, this is why in the previous life, under the leadership of head coach Budenholzer, the Eagles led the Eagles to achieve the best record of 14 wins and 15 losses in team history in the 60-22 season, leading the league in record! !

But still in the playoffs, the Cavaliers led by James were eliminated 4:0 without bloodshed.

When everyone thought it would be a bloody battle, the result was surprising.

You must know that the Eagles at that time even achieved an amazing 17 wins in a single month in the regular season, becoming the team with the most wins in a single month in NBA history.

And Budenholzer successfully helped the Eagles complete the five starters and were jointly elected as the best player in the Eastern Conference in January, and 1 people were selected as the All-Stars.

And in 15, the NBA officially announced that Budenholzer was elected as the NBA's best coach of the year

At that time, the five starting players of the Eagles were: Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, DeMar Carroll, Paul Millsap and Al Horford.

It can be said that none of these five people can be called an absolute superstar, and it is so similar to Liu Rui's current Bobcats team.

At that time, the Eagles were placed in the era when the stars were in power. The Eagles, which seemed so "civilian", were able to achieve a proud record at that time. It is a bit incredible to think about it.

Compared with their excellent record, what is even more frightening is that among the Eastern Conference's No. 16.7 Eagles, the highest scoring average is Millsap's [-] points.

And there was only one game in the entire season where a player scored 30+ points, and it was also Millsap's 30 points.

Without too much individual heroism, they can be said to have brought the spirit of team basketball to the extreme.

But it is still hard to find a win in the playoffs! !

This is also what Liu Rui is most worried about at the moment, not to mention that the current Bobcats team cannot compare with the Eagles in the previous life. After all, the Eagles team still has a German sports car Schroeder on the bench.

Although Liu Rui still doesn't know whether he can bring this Bobcats team into the playoffs, if he wants to go further, he must enhance the depth of his lineup if he can't get stars. Among them, the rationality of the defensive end is the key.

Just like last year's defending champion Pistons! !
In later generations, this Pistons team was called the civilian champion team, and the Finals FMVP Billups was called the worst FMVP in history.

But aside from the defensive system of the Pistons, and in Liu Rui's opinion, the depth of the Pistons' lineup is absolutely deep. Although the players in each position are not considered top in the league, they are by no means ordinary.

The team not only has Mr. Big Heart "Billups", the CIC king "Hamilton", the little prince "Prince", the angry god "Rashid Wallace", and the big ben "Ben Wallace".

Sitting on the bench is also an excellent bench lineup such as Campbell, Davenham and Lindes-Hunter.

Compared with the Eagles in the previous life, the overall strength of the team is even better. After all, Carroll in the Eagles is really a weak link.

So even if he lives a new life, Liu Rui never thinks that his tactical quality will crush all the head coaches in the league.

Liu Rui is still clear about himself, but he can beat the time difference and kill the league by surprise, but it is absolutely wishful thinking to compete for the championship through such means.

So no matter what the situation is, the team must make changes, and must have absolute lineup depth and rationality, so that the team can go further.

Although Charlotte is now a rebuilding team that has just entered the league, it is difficult to attract stars through anything, because both the lineup and the market are still in a backward stage.

But I have mastered the development trajectory of players over the next 15 years. This is my biggest advantage and the foundation of my foothold in the league! !
So no matter what, I have to fight for the team's trading authority.

"Rui, I think you should know something about the current situation of the team. There is no big fish for us to choose from in the free market, not to mention that even if there are players, they may not be willing to come. Of course, except for those problem players."

"As for the trade, let's not talk about the team's salary cap being limited. The main thing is that we don't have much bargaining chips to take out. The only thing the team can take out at present is next year's draft pick."

"But you should know what the draft pick means to a team like ours that has just entered the league. Okafor is a good example. Without Okafor, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to achieve today's results."

Before the big boss Robert Johnson spoke, Smith took over the words. After all, he is the general manager of the team, and he will have a clearer understanding of the team's current operations and market research.

And Smith thinks that Liu Rui is a little too taken for granted. How could he not have thought about these things as the general manager? ?
There are indeed stars in the market who are willing to sell. For example, the Raptors, who had previously played against each other in the preseason, planned to trade Carter as early as the offseason. This has long been no secret in the league.

Now it's even more embarrassing with Carter, everything is on the bright side, looking for deals everywhere.

But let's not talk about a player of Carter's level, it is difficult for his team to come up with an equal bargaining chip to negotiate with the Raptors, unless he takes all the future of the team to gamble on this deal, but obviously this is impossible.

Not to mention after the trade, even with the current lineup of the Bobcats, it may be difficult to win the championship with the addition of Carter. After all, if they want to break through in the East, the Heat and the Pistons are definitely two mountains that have to be overcome.

What's more, the main reason why Carter and the Raptors are gradually falling apart is because the team's lineup has not been strengthened, and in recent years, it has missed the playoffs, making Carter see no hope of winning the championship.

Also as the top four shooting guards, Kobe has won several championships, and Iverson also led the team to the finals, although he failed to win the championship.

But Iverson has proved himself on the stage of the finals, and it is absolutely glorious to lose! !
Even McGrady, who was also unlucky in the past, was able to make it to the playoffs with the team and won the league's scoring title.

This made Carter even more impatient. After putting pressure on the team, the team did not strengthen in the summer, which further confirmed Carter's determination to go away.

So even if the Bobcats are interested, Carter finally came out of the Raptors, would he be willing to come to our Bobcats? ?

Didn't you make it clear that people sold their cars and rode electric cars...
