Bishop of the Devil

Daben was a little embarrassed to be praised by everyone...

He smiled and scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Ah? Is this awesome? I only saw that this guy scored zero points!" Rashid, Da Ben's bad friend, said with a smile.

"Go away, you also scored zero points!" Ben rolled his eyes at Rashid.

Everyone laughed. This pair of brothers with the same surname often bickered in the team, but the relationship between the two was really good. They often appeared at the training ground at the same time and then left together.

"Okay, Ben, there's no need to bother with their center Johnson!"

"Unless they are out of their minds, they will definitely not dare to double-team and pick-and-roll. You can try to stretch McDyess as much as possible on the offensive end..."

Richard ordered Da Ben.

He doesn't want Ben to continue to melee at the basket. McDyess will also participate in the melee. The young O'Neal will definitely not be able to gain favor in the melee...

"Okay, haha, how dare they ignore me!"

"Ignoring me, the best defensive player in the NCAA and the core player of two championships, is really asking for trouble!"

I haven't calmed down yet. Anyone who is treated as nothing on the court will not feel very comfortable...

…

When the game restarted, the Nuggets no longer dared to interfere with the Trail Blazers' outside pick-and-roll, and the two sides began to compete normally.

Naturally, the Trail Blazers didn't have that many opportunities. They made open dunks under the basket, and their scoring efficiency was naturally much lower than in the opening game.

Next is the moment when the three anti-aircraft guns on the outside determine the direction of this game!

If they are right, the Nuggets will definitely lose...

If they miss the mark, the Nuggets may not win. After all, the Trail Blazers' rebounding is much better than that of the Nuggets!

Nuggets head coach Bernie couldn't help but sigh again after watching the first ten minutes of the first quarter!

He now wonders if he and the Nuggets management are out of their minds and why they let Mutombo go...

Now it's better, the rebounding is not as good as others, and the inside defense is not as good as others, how to play this ball!

You must know that the two insiders of the Trail Blazers are both first-year newcomers. They were blown up by two first-year insiders. Bernie felt desperate...

It’s over!

I estimate that if I can't survive this season, I will be fired by the management...

In fact, Bernie's estimate was not wrong at all. He was fired in the first half of the season and was replaced by Dick Motta, who has 25 years of teaching experience...

Unfortunately, Motta couldn't save the Nuggets and was fired after coaching this season.

The Nuggets are completely out of sorts...

Bernie has already begun to think about his retreat, whether to coach in the NCAA or find a home in the NBA.

…

Richard changed the lineup on the field from time to time, basically keeping the five starting players on the field playing for just over thirty minutes!

This playing time is not particularly long, but it is not short either, making it more suitable for newcomers.

As for the veterans Sabonis and Curry on the bench, they were allocated 20 to 25 minutes of playing time!

This playing time is also more suitable for veterans.

As for the others, Richard is helpless and can only arrange as much as possible. A new team like the Trail Blazers must focus on cultivating new players, those players who have little training value, such as Childe Reeds, such as Ted Lunt can usually only play garbage time, or if someone in the main lineup is injured, they will step in...

Thinking of the injury, Richard felt that he had to start working on something as soon as possible!

…

The game on the field is proceeding in an orderly manner...

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led by eight points!

In the second quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers' anti-aircraft guns felt a little cold, and the Nuggets recovered a three-point difference, with five points left!

However, in the second half of the game, the anti-aircraft guns regained their touch. Coupled with the power of Curry's three-point shooting, they led by 17 points halfway through the fourth quarter...

The game basically entered garbage time. Bernie replaced half of the main players, leaving McDyess to stay on the court.

Richard also followed suit and put his main force on the field, while all other main players were withdrawn...

McDyess was in pain on the court. He felt that he was extremely depressed in today's game!

In terms of scoring, McDyess actually scored a lot. Halfway through the fourth quarter, he had already scored 17 points!

This is far higher than the 13.4 points he averaged last season...

But that 13.4 points per game was obtained by McDyess using 11 shots, but for these 17 points, McDyess took 19 shots!

The efficiency of the two is not at the same level at all!

Originally, McDyess felt that this first game was the battle to become famous as the boss of the team in the new season...

After all, the opponent Trail Blazers only have two first-year players inside!

This makes McDyess very confident that the combination of himself and blue-collar Johnson can definitely defeat the other party...

Johnson has no scoring ability. On the offensive end, McDyess must have taken over all the duties. In this game, he took 25 shots and scored 30 points and a dozen rebounds!

The 30+10 data in the first game of the new season will definitely make McDyess the protagonist of the news!

…

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny!

The 25 shots McDyess envisioned were not too far off. After all, the game was not over yet. He had already taken 19 shots, which was not far from 25...

But a 30-point goal? !

Obviously it is difficult to achieve...

The reason why McDyess stayed on the court was to change his score of 17 points into 20 points!

…

The scoring efficiency is terrible, and the rebounding is not much better either...

So far in this game, McDyess has only gotten five rebounds!

McDyess was in despair. What kind of monsters had he encountered?

Whose first-year freshman Guo Danzi could score 23 points in the first game? The key is the super high shooting rate of 11 of 15 shots, 2 of 1 free throw, and the most damn unbearable thing is, This guy just turned 18!

This damn O'Neal is not Little O'Neal, this is the real O'Neal...

O'Neal only made 12 of 16 shots in the first game of his career!

If O'Neal makes McDyess hate him so much, then Ben already makes McDyess want to strangle him to death...

In McDyess' view, the most hateful thing is Big Ben!

This short insider with an afro didn't score a single point in this game, but he made McDyess miserable!

On the offensive end, those who are defended by Ben can only rely on shooting to score. On the defensive end, Ben does not attack at all, which makes McDyess, who has good defensive skills, very uncomfortable. The key is that he cannot amplify Ben...

On the rebounding end, Ben grabbed 11 rebounds, completely beating McDyess's 5 rebounds!
