Bishop of the Devil

"I'm not a Christian, but when the game was over, I still shouted to God!"

"God, the bull is so strong..."

"We, the Trail Blazers, are a new team. I don't think it's hard to accept losing to such a historically strong team..."

"Kobe is a young man. God, he scored 35 points. You know, Jordan only scored 40 points!"

"How many 18-year-old guards can score 35 points in the NBA? None! Absolutely not..."

Zhang Weiping never mentioned the 38-point loss in this game, nor did he mention Kobe's 35-point shooting from 50. He just kept praising how powerful the Bulls were and how outstanding Kobe's performance was...

The reporters rolled their eyes. Kobe was the only 18-year-old guard in the history of the league. No matter what statistics he produced, he was the only one in history...

Kobe, who was sitting next to Zhang Weiping, was completely exhausted and speechless. He just wanted to have a good sleep.

As for the media's comments about him after this game, he doesn't care...

…

Early the next morning, major news media published yesterday's "unparalleled battle" one after another.

The reason why it is said to be an unprecedented battle is because no one in history has been able to get fifty shots with such a low offensive efficiency!

For a time, Richard's reputation as a crazy coach became even greater.

This is absolute madness...

Only a madman could explain yesterday's game.

What surprised the fans was that Jordan even rarely praised Kobe Bryant at the post-game press conference...

This thing is really weird. Jordan is not the kind of person who is conceited and will not praise a newcomer when he is full.

"That's a young man with high spirits!"

"During the game, I compared him to Stackhouse. Now I want to take back this comparison. Stackhouse doesn't have the guts to take fifty shots in front of me!"

"I'm almost certain that this kid will be a successful player in the future!"

Jordan's praise made fans all over the world focus on Kobe. To be praised so much by the God of Basketball, this kid is probably really good...

…

After experiencing the craziness of this game, in the next game, Kobe's number of shots was increased to 13!

And Kobe was not polite, he still used up all his shots in every game.

It seems that Kobe's scoring efficiency has not improved significantly, but after experiencing the Bulls game, Kobe, a young man, gives fans a sense of maturity.

The offense on the field rarely has that kind of chaotic rhythm, and the ball is distributed in an orderly manner.

Fifty crazy shots, but only got thirty-five points in the end, which made Kobe think about a lot of things...

His original idea was that he was no worse than anyone else. As long as he was given enough ball rights, he could perform at the level of a league superstar.

But the game against the Bulls made Kobe realize the reality.

After giving him true unlimited firing rights, he did score a lot more, but his personal scoring efficiency was appalling, and the team suffered a disastrous defeat!

So, is more power really a good thing for you? !

Obviously not……

Now, Kobe doesn't know why he has a kind of belief in Richard. Even though he originally hated the shackles of the number of shots, he can now accept it safely.

…

In the blink of an eye, the NBA schedule reaches the end of January...

The Rookie of the Month in December was awarded to Raheem this time. The situation has changed, and it is estimated that it will be transferred to Iverson next time...

The statistics of these two people are really dazzling. Iverson steadily contributed 25+8 super performance in December, while Raheem's 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block are also the best in the Western Conference.

This made Richard a little helpless. Originally, he was wondering if the situation should change, and the Rookie of the Month would be transferred to their Trail Blazers...

But Iverson and Raheem's statistics are really amazing. Big Ben and other Blazers rookies really have no advantage in statistics.

However, if Iverson and Raheem took away this award, it can be regarded as a waste of money. Anyway, it is enough that West Lafayette players get it.

…

At Christmas, Richard led the Blazers to an impressive record of 22 wins and 13 losses.

But later, as the difficulty of the schedule gradually increased, the Trail Blazers have played a total of 52 games since the end of January, and their record has declined significantly.

With 30 wins and 22 losses, the original winning rate of more than 60% has dropped to 58%.

But even so, the Trail Blazers still have a huge advantage compared to the sixth, seventh or eighth place in the Western Conference. There is no big problem in maintaining the fifth position in the Western Conference.

More than fifty games were played, almost two-thirds of the entire season.

Basically, you can tell whether it's a mule or a horse...

The Trail Blazers' leading scorer is veteran Clifford Robinson, who is currently averaging 23.4 points per game.

Ranked second is Rashid, who currently averages 18.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Compared with last season's 10+6 data for the Bullets, it is undoubtedly a big improvement...

The Bullets are eager to watch, but they know very well that with Chris Webber and Juwan Howard on the team, they really don't have the energy to train Rasheed.

Among the three newcomers in the starting lineup, Kobe is considered the third offensive point in the starting lineup. Even though the average number of shots per game has increased by one, the average points per game have not increased significantly, and it is still about 13+7.

O'Neal has improved somewhat compared to before, and is now almost stable at an average of 11+6.

As for Ben, he is undoubtedly the most mature of the three newcomers.

He averaged 3.4 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, and his rebounding data currently ranks eighth in the league's rebounding list!

This is definitely a very impressive result for a rookie...

Of course, Ben is still not as good as the top rebounding monsters. Rodman, who ranks first, currently averages 16.1 rebounds per game...

Barkley, who ranked second, had 13.5 rebounds.

Ben's blocking data currently ranks ninth on the list of blocks with Garnett, which is also outstanding.

As a rookie, having two statistics ranked in the top ten in the league is a huge honor in itself. Among the entire 1996 rookies, only Iverson was stronger than Ben...

Ben is among the top ten in rebounding and shot blocking!

Iverson ranked among the top ten in scoring, assists and steals...

This is very similar to the scene where awards were divided up in the Big Ten League. Iverson and Ben won almost all the awards in the Big Ten League.

After arriving in the NBA, these two people combined, all five major positive statistics ranked in the top ten!
