Jiang Dongbing did not have any objection to Rahim. In fact, he has a good impression of a honest player like Rahim.

But what's the use of having a good impression? This cannot cover up the reality of Rahim's weak defense.

After replacing Mobri with Thorpe, Jiang Dongbing directly asked Thorpe to fight Webber, so he could only make do with this fight first.

In the first half, both sides played back and forth, and the score was extremely anxious, but after the second half, the drawbacks of the Grizzlies' lineup were completely exposed.

There is no decent player on the bench, and young players lack experience in playing such anxious games.

Finally, when the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the Grizzlies lost by 6 points at their home court.

This is Jiang Dongbing's first loss since he became the head coach. Including the two years since NCAA, Jiang Dongbing had never tasted the taste of failure before.

However, despite losing, Jiang Dongbing didn't take it seriously. Now he coaches the NBA team, how could he never lose?

The defeat in this game is actually very meaningful and can make the Grizzlies more clearly aware of their shortcomings.

Jackson's data tonight is actually OK, with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Although the data was not as luxurious as the previous game against the Mavericks, it was definitely a rookie in the same class.

However, the score of these 21 points consumed 24 shots, and the offensive efficiency was too low.

However, even if the efficiency is low, the training progress should be achieved is still quite small. According to Jiang Dongbing's estimate, Jackson may become a complete body in a dozen or twenty games.

...

"Jiang, Old Nelson contacted me and said he wanted us to help swallow the contract of Ac Green. What do you think?" Stewart approached Jiang Dongbing the next day. He wanted to hear Jiang Dongbing's opinion.

"No, never. Green's contract is still two years away. If we swallow it, we may also worry about salary space in the future."

"He also talked to me about this. The key is that the Mavericks are now decent chips." Jiang Dongbing shook his head quickly and said.

Stewart agreed, "Okay, I have the same idea. The reason why I mentioned this to you is mainly to hear your opinions. Maybe you can put forward some constructive opinions."

Jiang Dongbing smiled bitterly, but he had constructive opinions, such as taking Nowitzki or Nash by the way, but Old Nelson refused.

"Jiang, do you think there is still a need to adjust our lineup in our current lineup?" Stewart asked again.

Jiang Dongbing thought in his heart. Stewart asked this question a bit strange. Could it be that they lost to the king just now?

"Of course there is, but there is no need for this at present." Jiang Dongbing said tentatively.

"Oh? Why not say it out, maybe we think of going together."

"I think Rahim is not suitable for my tactical system. Maybe we should use Rahim to exchange for some more advantageous players."

"You should know Rahim's defensive ability better than me. In the future, there will be many powerful power forward players in the league. Rahim's defense will not pose any threat to them, which may make us Grizzlies unable to go further in the playoffs." Jiang Dongbing directly expressed his thoughts.

Stewart sighed. He didn't know what Jiang Dongbing said made sense. After all, Rahim was the player he selected. He had played under him for two seasons. He knew Rahim's defensive ability better than Jiang Dongbing.

Even if Stewart was killed, he would not have the idea of ​​selling Raheem. But now, as Jackson showed his strong strength, coupled with Miller, a treasure that was almost a free time, Raheem is no longer a necessity for the team.

He knew very well that Jiang Dongbing was right. If Raheem's defensive strength could not be improved, the Grizzlies were indeed likely to give up halfway in the playoffs due to this loophole.

"Jiang, do you have any plans now?" Stewart asked helplessly.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head. He originally had the intention to sell Bilups, but now it seems that this plan is a bit unreliable, so it is more cost-effective to sell Rahim.

The main reason is that if Billups really has complete strength, it will be quite easy to build a lineup with him as the core.

"At present, I'm not sure how to trade. Why not wait for the time being, anyway, there's still a long time before the trading market is closed."

"Mr. Jackson, you can also inquire about it. If there is a suitable buyer, we can prepare early." Jiang Dongbing said.

...

After leaving Stewart's office, Jiang Dongbing couldn't help but think of Billups who was in seclusion and hard training. He didn't know if this guy could complete the tasks he assigned.

You should know that if you want to complete this training goal, it is actually quite difficult, and Jiang Dongbing is not sure that Bilups can really complete this task.

...

The next two games of the Grizzlies were away games, with their opponents being the Seattle Supersonics and the Portland Trail Blazers.

Vancouver is located in the southwest of Canada, while Seattle and Portland are located in the northwest of the United States. Although they are divided into different countries, they are very close and are far away from Vancouver to Toronto, so these two games are not considered to be busy.

Jiang Dongbing knew very well that it would not be that easy to win the next two away games. The main reason is that both teams are quite strong, and they are all Western Conference playoff-level teams.

The Seattle Supersonics, which later became the Thunder, currently have three All-Star players, including Gloves Payton, Vinbeck and the first-generation German anti-aircraft gun Schramf, whose strength cannot be underestimated.

Needless to say, Payton, the best point guard in NBA history is the real best, no doubt about it.

From 1993 to 2002, Payton was selected for the best defensive team for nine consecutive seasons, and in 1996 he also won the honor of best defensive player, saying that he is the strongest point guard in defense and no one can tell any fault.

After several times of NBA history, only Payton can win the honor of DPOY as a point guard, which is quite valuable.

Payton is now at the peak of gold, and his strength can be imagined, which will definitely cause great trouble to the Grizzlies.

As for the player Wenbeck, Jiang Dongbing doesn't care much. Wenbeck was good in the past few years and could even get the average 2010 data per game in the season.

But Vinbeck has the same flaw as Rahim, that is, the offense is strong and the defense is weak. Even Vinbeck's defense is not as good as Rahim. He is a real defensive colander.
