Bishop of the Devil

Reggie Miller has no intention of getting involved. He will only do what he should do on the court in this game!

…

At the beginning of the game, Rasheed walked to the midfield line and executed a jump ball with the opponent's center Rick Schmitz.

Big Ben's height is too short and he is too disadvantaged in jumping balls, so the second starting lineup uses Rasheed to jump balls!

Schmitz is a purebred white center with a height of 224 centimeters, which is basically the same as the Dutch Yao Ming...

Schmitz and Sabonis were once hailed as Europe's inside prospects. Then Schmitz entered the league in 1988 and never produced anything. Sabonis was even worse. He was already in his thirties when he entered the league. …

Despite his height of 224 centimeters, Schmitz's rebounding strength is unbelievably weak.

He has been playing for the Pacers for 12 years in his career, averaging only 6.1 rebounds per game. Even in his peak season, he only averaged 7.7 rebounds per game...

It is worth mentioning that when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, he was the template for the draft...

Rasheed Wallace easily won the jump ball and got the Blazers' first offensive ball.

Kobe controlled the ball and pushed forward against the defense of Pacers starting point guard Travis Best!

Best is also a small point guard, only 180 centimeters tall.

Including this game against the Pacers, the Trail Blazers have played a total of ten games, and most of the teams' starting point guards are around 180cm tall...

It can be said that the standard point guard height in this era is 180cm.

Pushing the time forward 20 years, a point guard with a height of 180cm is undoubtedly very short. The point guards of more than half of the teams in the league are around 190cm...

This also verifies the development trend of "future basketball lineup" from the side.

The heights of all players on the field are closer to the standard height of the player at position 34.

…

Kobe naturally has an advantage playing an unknown point guard of this height.

It took basically no effort to advance to the frontcourt easily, and then passed the ball to Robinson who was waiting in the corner.

Robinson faced Jaylen Rose's defense and shot a three-pointer!

"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit directly, and it was a good start.

Kobe also successfully got an assist...

"Boy, your opponent is me, don't make a mistake with the wrong person!" Bowen took advantage of the opportunity to return to defense, walked to Jaylen Rose and said with a low smile.

"Who are you?"

"Do you deserve me to defend you?" Jaylen Rose glanced at Tian Canji with disdain...

This guy has always been living in the dream of Michigan's Fab Five. He always feels that he is superior to others, especially when facing players like Bowen...

Bowen has only played two games now. In terms of popularity, they are far behind Big Ben. Not many people in the league know Bowen.

These words almost choked Bowen to death. Does this damn guy think of himself as an All-Star?

Don't you know that you are just a substitute? !

"Okay, young man, you may know me without finishing this game..."

"And he will have a deep impression on me, and he will never forget me for the rest of his life."

Bowen immediately started to defend...

His defensive target is naturally Jaylen Rose, but Jaylen Rose goes against Robinson because he knows very well that Robinson is the strongest offensive player in this new army. After guarding him to death, the Blazers still What to win with.

…

Pacers' offensive round!

Robinson took the initiative to find Reggie Miller, and Kobe went to press and defend against the small point guard Best.

As for Bowen, it is naturally his opponent, Jaylen Rose.

After Best passed the ball to Reggie Miller, Miller used his speed to get rid of Robinson, and then used Jaylen Rose's pick-and-roll to also shoot a three-pointer.

It's just that I had bad luck with this three-pointer and didn't hit it.

The rebound was picked off by Ben who was playing the center position under the basket. Schmitz, a big bamboo stick, could only watch as Ben took off the rebound and handed it to Rasheed to start a counterattack...

Compared with Ben at the basket and Schmitz, his height is highlighted by how short he is!

Even though Ben has an afro, he is still much shorter than Schmitz...

…

Rasheed has good passing ability. He found Kobe's position in the crowd and passed it directly.

Kobe carried Best and started the fast break alone.

It's just that Best's strength and speed are very good, and Kobe was finally intercepted at the elbow inside the three-point line!

The next scene that made Richard extremely satisfied appeared. Kobe did not choose to continue the layup!

Instead, he chose to pass the ball to Bruce Bowen who followed up!

Bowen shot a three-pointer from an open position at a 45-degree angle directly outside the three-point line!

A solid hit!

He scored six consecutive points in the opening game and beat his opponent to a 6-0 climax. The Blazers fans at the scene cheered crazily as if they were on fire!

In fact, this game is not only about Richard's face, but also about the face of Trail Blazers fans!

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed!

If Richard is embarrassed, then the Blazers are embarrassed...

And now that it has established a big advantage right from the start, the fans are naturally happy!

"Magic Bryant!"

"magician!"

Kobe's two assists in the beginning directly helped his teammates hit two three-pointers.

Fans cheered for Kobe...

Richard was speechless for a while. The fans actually called Kobe a magician, which was really against the rules.

The game continued, with Reggie Miller leading the team diligently on the court to hold on to the score. Although Jaylen Rose started the game, he never got any offensive opportunities.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes of the first quarter had been played.

Maybe it was the scream of "Magician" that stimulated Kobe. In these five minutes, Kobe rarely took one shot...

And he also made a mid-range shot. In addition, he also got a foul from Best, and he went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

1 shot in exchange for 4 points, how can this be a magician...

This is Hackstone!

And the number of assists is also extremely amazing. In five minutes, Kobe has already recorded an astonishing four assists!

Generally, most of Kobe's 12 shot opportunities will be consumed in the first half, making it difficult to last until the fourth quarter...

And obviously Kobe is a little different today!

Richard saw Zhang Weiping smiling from ear to ear. He knew without thinking that he must be thinking about the superstar embryo again...

Kobe's efficiency today is indeed astonishing. Even a person like Richard, who has a God's perspective, is extremely satisfied!

In five minutes, he scored 4 points, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 rebound. No matter how you look at it, it's too good to be true.

…

With Kobe's assist, Bowen first hit an open three-pointer, and then with the help of Rasheed Wallace's high pick-and-roll play, Bowen hit another three-pointer.

Bowen, who only scored six points in the first two games combined, scored six points in five minutes in this game!

"Dudu!" Larry Brown, who was on the sidelines of the Pacers, called a timeout with a livid face!

It's impossible not to call this timeout, because it's only been five minutes, and the Pacers are already seven points behind!

One can imagine how uncomfortable Larry Brown feels now...

He originally predicted that the Pacers' backcourt would blow up the Trail Blazers' backcourt, but now the situation is completely opposite. There was a sudden explosion in the Trail Blazers' backcourt, which caught him off guard.
