NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 366

Chapter 366. Chapter 367. General recall (second update)

So the only one who can really be used as a bargaining chip is the backup center Zaza Pachulia.

Because apart from Pachulia, everyone else either has a lot of potential to tap, or Ariza's performance on the court can contribute beyond statistics.

These players are relatively important to the current Bobcats.

As for the remaining two veterans, Christie and Madman Fan, they are not worth trading, not to mention that Liu Rui has no intention of trading these two veterans.

After all, a team still needs to have a few veterans in the lineup, and if it is all rookies, it will be very messy.

It may not feel like anything in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the finale of this kind of veteran will become very important.

"Well, well, I have some ideas in my mind, but Pachulia doesn't have much playing time under your command, I'm afraid his transaction value is not very high."

"Although there will definitely be teams making offers to us, don't expect too much."

Liu Rui's answer was also within Smith's expectations.

After all, the Bobcats are getting better and better, and the team has risen to the third place in the Eastern Conference. Originally, Smith meant that he was not biased towards trading.

At most, check in the middle of the season to see if there are players cut by other teams, and make some corner reinforcements at the appropriate time.

However, considering Liu Rui's far-reaching vision, Smith decided to sit together and discuss.

"Next, I will try to increase Pachulia's playing time and help him check his statistics. If he really has a good bargaining chip, he can also consider it. If not, then staying in the team will naturally be useful."

"The rest of the players are really not very active at the moment. Even the big buffalo White has his own mission. This is a dark chess game left by me in the East to prepare to attack the Heat."

"Although it may not be fully effective, at least it is better than nothing."

Sitting in the office, the three of Smith chatted for a while, and Liu Rui took Montgomery back to the training hall.

For the two, leading the Bobcats to win more games is the most important thing to do next.

Although the Bobcats are now considered to be getting better and better, but sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

You're never the only one making progress in this league.

During this day, Liu Rui also called back Wang Zhizhi who had been sent to the Development League before.

Because as the season progresses, Liu Rui already needs a big pitcher who can open up space in the paint.

And during this period of time in the development league, Wang Zhizhi also got a lot of playing opportunities.

According to Liu Rui's intention, he was exercising his body every day, coupled with the nutritionist's diet, it also made Wang Zhizhi's body stronger.

Although it is definitely not comparable to the muscular men in the league, if it is only to complete the tasks assigned by Liu Rui, it is completely enough.

After all, what Liu Rui needs is a high-ranking turret, not a jumping man with brute force.

The reason why Wang Zhizhi was allowed to go to the development league to exercise his body was also because Wang Zhizhi's body was too thin before, and his defense in the low post could no longer be described as a black hole.

After gaining weight, although the defensive end is still below the average level of the league, at least it can prevent the opponent from easily crushing under the basket, which is enough for Liu Rui.

Leon Anderson, the template Liu Rui customized for him before, is a defensive loophole.

The advantages and disadvantages of this kind of player on the court depend on how the coach uses it.

………………

April 11

The Bobcats will host the Chicago Bulls at home.

This game is also the Bobcats' last game in the East recently. After this game, the Bobcats will start a new round of road trip.

Due to various unstable factors in the road trip, so for the Bobcats, the game against the Bulls at home is bound to be won as much as possible.

The Bulls are very similar to the Bobcats, both teams are mainly composed of young players.

It can be said that they are two of the few youth military teams in the league.

The Bulls are still building the team with the outside trio as the absolute core this season. Although the little shark Curry also left the Knicks in the summer, this does not have much impact on the Bulls.

Curry's presence will instead disrupt the Bulls' tactical deployment, because he is a very greedy player.

After Curry left, boxing champion Chandler took the position of the Bulls' starting center without any suspense.

In addition, new players such as Ben Gordon, Hinrich, Luol Deng, and Nocioni all performed very well, which also kept the Bulls in the ranks of the playoffs.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Rui took away Du Hong last season, then the competitiveness of this Bulls team would only become stronger.

It's a pity that after Du Hong left, the Bulls also lost a real defensive gate on the perimeter.

Although Hinrich's overall view on the court is very good, but for Hinrich, Liu Rui does not have much fear.

The whole Bulls can bring threat to the Bobcats is the team's first firepower, Ben Gordon.

Ben Gordon's offensive firepower is very strong, and he can shoot inside and outside very comprehensively. This kind of player has always been the existence that Liu Rui hates the most, because no one can tell which game he will suddenly explode.

It is possible that the score in the last game is not in double figures, but you can score 50 points in a single game in the next game. Although this unstable factor will cause headaches for the team's head coach, the opponent's head coach will also feel headaches...

"The recent state of the Bobcats can be said to be very good. At present, they have won five consecutive victories, and in the game against the Pacers, Joe Johnson's final decision in the fourth quarter is still vivid in our minds."

"As analyzed by most media, this young Bobcats team is getting better and better, and young players are gradually fulfilling their potential while growing up."

"The old stars are also using their residual heat to help the new players grow, and at the same time, they can also contribute their own strength on the court."

"Just like the current Christie, after being waived by the Mavericks, other teams in the league have no intention of signing him. In this case, the Bobcats decisively chose to make a move."

"In order to sign with the Christie Bobcats, Kareem was waived at the time, and he also accepted the contract from the Mavericks."

"This operation seemed to everyone at the time to be very loss-making, but with Christie's current performance, this kind of voice has gradually decreased."
