Bishop of the Devil

In the eyes of McDyess, Ben is a complete troublemaker!

The efficiency of this game was unsightly due to his interference. If it weren't for Ben's interference, with enough shots, even if he couldn't score 30 points, it would not be a problem for him to score 27 or 8 points. !

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game!

McDyess's final statistics were fixed at 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Until the end of the game, he could not break the 20-point mark...

The Nuggets ultimately lost by 14 points!

The Blazers fans at the scene cheered wildly. Although the opponent was just an average team, they might win the first game of the season. This is always a good sign!

Winning is not the most important thing!

The most important thing is that fans see the potential of this new Trail Blazers team!

Following their stable performance in the preseason, the two high school students performed well in today's first game of the regular season!

Kobe Bryant in the backcourt scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in this game. It is true that the scoring efficiency is not very high. He only scored 11 points in 12 shots, but at least looking at the data, this young man has a bright future. Unlimited!

The shooting percentage of newcomers, especially newcomers in the backcourt, is generally not high at the beginning of their careers, and no one can change this.

As for new insiders, that's not necessarily the case. Some talented insiders may be able to achieve quite terrifying shooting percentages in their rookie season.

And another high school student in the Trail Blazers, insider O'Neal Jr., has obviously become this kind of super talented insider in the eyes of fans!

O'Neal Jr. scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block in this game!

The super high shooting rate of 11 out of 15 made the home team fans at the scene as excited as chicken blood!

The future is promising!

The future is bright!

He lives up to his name!

This is a young version of O'Neal...

Although the performance was not as outstanding as O'Neal's debut, you must know that O'Neal's debut was 31 points and 18 rebounds...

But I can’t stand the fact that O’Neal is so young...

The fans at the scene have already fallen into fantasy!

A few years later, O'Neal Jr. grew into a bug-level figure like O'Neal, and Kobe, a good backcourt, grew into a magician...

Who can rival such a pioneer? !

If Richard knew what the fans were thinking, they would probably roll their eyes. In the end, O'Neal is still O'Neal, and he will never become O'Neal...

Moreover, O'Neal's performance is not as exaggerated as his data shows.

If it weren't for Big Ben's crazy blocking, O'Neal would probably only be able to bring out six or seven rebounds in this game.

As for Kobe in the backcourt, having more assists doesn't mean anything, it just takes advantage of the team's tactics.

…

In addition to these two high school students, the second-round pick introduced by the Blazers this year...

Fans can't find any words to evaluate him at all. The data of 0 points and 11 rebounds is simply extreme!

But McDyess's defense on the court is obvious to all!

It's just that fans are not sure now whether Ben can continue to play such a role in key games. After all, he is only facing rookie McDyess in this game.

Therefore, compared with Kobe and O'Brien, fans do not pay that much attention to Ben.

But Richard and the players on the Trail Blazers team know very well that Ben's role is irreplaceable in the Trail Blazers!

Especially in today's game, Ben had at least 50% of the credit for winning the Nuggets so easily!

Without big money, McDyess's performance is uncertain. Maybe one person can destroy the Blazers' inside line!

Without Big Ben, the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics cannot be cracked, and the Blazers' offensive end will also be affected!

This is the value of Big Ben. He is really just like McDyess feels, a troublemaker who disturbs the other party.

The two anti-aircraft guns in the starting lineup performed relatively stable today. Their shooting percentage was a bit sluggish in the first half, but they made up for it in the second half.

After the game, Rashid made 7 of 12 two-pointers, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 17 points!

Clifford Robinson made 7 of 15 two-pointers, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and made both free throws, scoring a good 22 points!

Because Robinson often plays pick-and-rolls with Kobe in the backcourt, he takes a few more shots than Rasheed, but it's not too many, keeping it around 20 times.

It can be seen from the data of these two anti-aircraft guns that Rashid is definitely a good mid-range shooter. Although he has three-point ability, the three-pointers are still unstable at the moment. In this game, all three shots from the outside were hit.

As for Robinson, his mid-range shooting is not particularly outstanding, but his three-point shooting is relatively stable.

The two worked together to score nearly forty points, which already made Richard quite satisfied!

What makes Richard even more satisfied is that the old Curry on the bench played bravely today!

Old Curry played for 20 minutes in this game. In the lineup constructed by Richard, Robinson can move to the small forward position when Rasheed comes off the court, allowing Old Curry to play shooting guard...

Old Curry, who only played for 20 minutes, was incredibly efficient. He hit three of his five three-pointers, and also hit a mid-range shot, scoring 11 points!

You must know that these 11 points only took six shots!

What a terrifying offensive efficiency...

As for another veteran Sabonis, his playing time today was not very long, only 17 or 18 minutes. Sabonis is already used to this playing time arrangement...

Last season, Sabonis was treated as a protected animal by the Trail Blazers, and was not given too much playing time at all to prevent the old Sabonis from being consumed too much during the regular season...

There are even times when Sabonis is directly asked to come on the bench and Dudley on the bench is asked to play the starting center!

This arrangement naturally yielded very good results. Otherwise, Sabonis, who had been tired for a regular season, would not have averaged 23 points and 11 rebounds per game against the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs.

If Richard now arranges for Sabonis to play more than 35 minutes per game, then the old Sabonis will probably feel that Richard is trying to harm him...

Why did you let yourself be beaten for so long with your old arms and legs? !

…

Although Sasha doesn't have much playing time, the experience he imparts to O'Neal step by step on the court is still extremely valuable!

Some things can only work better if they are explained and practiced in competitions!

In the end, Lao Sa scored 10 points and 6 rebounds on the court, and ended the game with satisfaction...
