Bishop of the Devil

The two sides jumped the ball, and Ou got the ball in the first offensive round for the Trail Blazers.

After Kobe got the ball, he passed a long pass directly to Rashid in the frontcourt, who shot from beyond the three-point line.

Although he didn't hit the ball, Xiao Ao, who hit the ball in the blink of an eye, grabbed the rebound in the air and directly made a putback dunk!

As soon as the game started, O'Brien's amazing athletic ability won a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Carlisle on the sidelines shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He had watched all the previous seven games of the Trail Blazers, and he knew very well the strength of the newcomers in the Trail Blazers. To describe it as terrifying would not be an exaggeration at all...

Not only has Xiao Ao's physical fitness improved a lot, but he has also become better at using his physical advantages.

His jumping, speed, and wingspan are all top-notch among seven-foot-long men. Even though Ratliff, who was facing him, wanted to block the put-back dunk, he was unable to stop it.

…

In the Philadelphia 76ers' offensive round, Richard also wanted to see how the 76ers achieved an impressive record of 5 wins and 2 losses at the start of the game.

Iverson controlled the ball and flew up quickly. Kobe couldn't keep up with Iverson's speed, so he could only remember Richard's instructions.

Defend against shots but not against sudden attacks!

If Iverson wants to break out, he can break out, anyway, the Trail Blazers have Ben and Ou in the penalty area.

And if he wants to shoot, Kobe will always follow Iverson's side, waiting to block Iverson's shot at any time.

When the ball reaches the frontcourt, Iverson has already rushed to the basket, and Ben is waiting for it.

He is very familiar with Iverson's breakthrough ability. He knows that if he doesn't deal with it carefully, Iverson will probably be beaten 2+1, so Ben's expression is solemn at this moment...

But what I didn't expect was that Iverson didn't take the ball himself, but directly distributed the ball!

The score was given to Da Zhi who was waiting outside the three-point line in the bottom corner!

Da Zhi, who is seven feet tall, shoots directly from the three-pointer...

"Whoa!" The basketball went hollow into the net, and Da Zhi made his first three-pointer of the game easily!

Richard on the sidelines applauded. Iverson scored the ball very well, and Da Zhi was also extremely decisive in taking action. He took action immediately after receiving the ball, giving Rashid no chance to block himself.

Moreover, with Dazhi's height and improved jumping ability after changing his destiny, it is really unlikely that Rashid would block shots.

Now Richard finally knows why the 76ers' record is so outstanding. If nothing else, Iverson's little tactic of passing the ball is enough to give every team a headache.

Iverson's breakthrough ability is extremely powerful. Facing those scumbag insiders, Iverson's breakthrough has great destructive power.

The person currently guarding the Trail Blazers inside is Ben, whom Iverson is very familiar with. The two have trained countless times within the team, and Iverson is still quite afraid of Ben...

So, he chose to divide the ball!

If it were last season, Iverson would not be able to score the ball, and he would never be able to score the ball in his life.

To whom should the ball be given?

To Stackhouse? Not to mention his competitive status with Iverson, Stackhouse's painful shooting percentage, Iverson felt that he might as well be more sure of himself...

But this season is different, Dazhi is here!

Dazhi's outside firepower is frighteningly stable, and with his seven-foot height, no one can beat him.

That is to say, at the small forward position of the Trail Blazers, Rashid, who is 208cm tall, is a bit of a threat to Da Zhi.

If he were a standard-height small forward from other teams, Da Zhi could almost ignore the opponent's defense and take action.

The small forwards of many teams are even less than two meters tall...

If Rashid and Robinson are anti-aircraft artillery, then Da Zhi can basically be regarded as an air-to-air missile!

…

Carlisle is a coach who came from the Trail Blazers. He naturally knows how threatening the anti-aircraft shooter is from the outside. This is why he firmly chooses Dazhi!

The shot has strong anti-interference ability, stable hitting rate, and does not occupy the ball!

The ball rights mentioned here do not refer to the right to hand, but the right to control the basketball...

With all the advantages, even if Dazhi and Iverson don't have a relationship like West Lafayette, Iverson would probably be happy to give Dazhi the ball.

Now that he has a relationship like West Lafayette, one can imagine how comfortable Dazhi's life is now...

The balls that Iverson was unsure of after his breakthrough were all handed over to Da Zhi, allowing Da Zhi to average 16 points per game even though his average shooting time per game is not much.

…

Da Zhi's goal not only made Richard applaud, Big Ben also smiled and applauded. Seeing that his little brother is doing well now, big brother Big Ben is naturally very happy.

The Blazers fans at the scene all rolled their eyes...

When did Portland gangsters become so mellow that they applauded their opponents? !

…

In the next half of the game, Da Zhi received five Iverson goals, scored three of them, and scored 8 points.

Perhaps because Richard was standing on the sidelines, Da Zhi performed quite well today.

Richard couldn't help but nod. He didn't have to worry about Da Zhi at all. His growth was on the right track. Just relying on this precise outside firepower, Da Zhi could firmly gain a foothold in the league.

As for whether he can be selected as an All-Star, it depends on when the Philadelphia 76ers can fully rise.

If the record is outstanding, Da Zhi, as the team's second leader, will have no problem being selected as an All-Star.

…

Carlisle called a timeout and took Dazhi off the court to rest. Richard made no lineup changes and continued to be in the starting lineup.

With Big Zhi off the court, Iverson truly showed his true qualities as a killer.

A series of sudden shots, closing the gap with the Trail Blazers...

That's right, it's about closing the gap, not opening it up!

Richard feels that the Philadelphia 76ers are really strong, at least not worse than last season's Eastern Conference powerhouse Hornets, but the Trail Blazers are even better!

The 76ers' inside line is not considered weak. In the league, it is at least above average!

But in front of the Auburn combination, it was completely inadequate...

Coleman hit the ball in low singles several times. Think about it, even Mourning couldn't hit the ball, let alone Coleman who was drained by alcohol.

So these few singles were all in vain, and I even got slapped with a volleyball hat by Big Ben!

As for Xiao Ou, when facing Tel Liv, his advantages are fully demonstrated...

Unlike Big Ben, Ou's offensive ability has been developed this season. In ten minutes of the first quarter, he has already scored eight points with the help of mid-range shots and secondary attacks.

Even if he fails to make a mid-range shot, Big Ben's rebounding ability is enough to ensure that he can protect the rebounds in the hands of Tel Aviv and Coleman.

This resulted in Iverson still being unable to open up the situation even though his offensive efficiency was quite high.

The inside advantage is firmly controlled by the Trail Blazers...

In the second quarter of the game, after Da Zhi came on the stage, he contributed stable firepower and teamed up with Iverson to unleash full firepower.

However, because the inside disadvantage is too great and the Blazers' offensive firepower is not weak, even if the two men performed quite well, it was still difficult to gain an advantage in the game in the end.

The more Richard watched off the court, the more satisfied he became. His Blazers were almost fully formed.

A whole summer of hard training was not in vain!
