Bishop of the Devil

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Trail Blazers defended their home court.

The score of 107:102, a five-point win at home, is definitely not a big win.

The performance of Iverson and Da Zhi in today's game can be called perfect!

Iverson scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals in this game, a huge double-double.

Da Zhi, on the other hand, had 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, which felt so hot!

The two teamed up to score 60 points, but unfortunately, they still failed to win the game from the Trail Blazers.

This game gave the fans at the scene a feeling. With Richard supervising the formation, compared with the previous games, the Blazers seemed to be a different team.

The playing on the court was extremely determined, and the rhythm was extremely subtle. Everyone on the court performed their duties and had a perfect division of labor.

In the eyes of fans, this may be the power of the big devil Richard. It not only deters opponents, but also stabilizes the military morale of his own people.

…

Da Zhi scored 27 points in a single game. There is no doubt that his name will appear in the news tomorrow. This style of the seven-footer, who is quite different nowadays, will probably attract the attention of a considerable number of fans...

It's so unusual. He's seven feet tall, which is the standard height for a center, but he plays completely from the outside. Even the six rebounds he got were all backcourt rebounds, not a single offensive rebound... …

If Da Zhi's offensive efficiency is low, he will probably be criticized by the fans, but the key to the problem now is that his offensive efficiency is very high, not inferior to those first-line small forwards at all.

What is the role of the small forward? After all, the essence is the same as the shooting guard, which is to score.

It's just that traditional shooting guards rely more on shooting to score, while traditional small forwards rely more on breakthroughs to score.

Those who can break out and shoot, and can also defend their opponents, are the forward and guard swingmen, who can do 2 or 3!

No matter what position they play, the ultimate goal of positions 2 and 3 is to score points, and Da Zhi has obviously achieved it. With his 27-point performance in a single game, there is absolutely no fault to be found.

…

"Hey, I thought I could beat you, but it's such a pity. If my three-point shooting percentage had been higher, I might not have lost to you in this game!"

After the game, Richard invited the entire 76ers team to have a meal, and Iverson sighed.

It is indeed a pity to lose, only losing by five points. If Iverson had a higher three-point shooting rate in this game, it would not necessarily be the winner.

"Come on, Allen, why don't you want to go to heaven? Today's mid-range shot has exceeded the standard, right?" Ben said with a smile.

"Haha, it is indeed a bit extraordinary. Kobe is not very lucky, haha..." Iverson looked at Kobe and couldn't help but joked.

Kobe rolled his eyes and simply ignored Iverson...

Kobe's performance on the court today was actually quite good. After scoring 17 points in 15 shots, he also scored 9 assists, which is already quite impressive.

But Iverson's mid-range shooting exploded today, allowing Iverson to score 33 points on his head.

It is conceivable that Kobe is definitely not in a better mood now...

"By the way, coach, now Chauncey and Dazhi have both won gold medals. I think the performance of Jermaine and Kobe today is enough to join us in West Lafayette. Why don't we just absorb them?" ?" Iverson said with a smile.

Today, Kobe scored 17 points and 9 assists, while O'Brien scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks!

Xiao Ao on the side was filled with surprise when he heard this!

He had been looking forward to this in the All-Star Game last season. If he could really join West Lafayette, that would be so exciting!

If nothing else, just being labeled as a West Lafayette player is an honor!

Who in the entire league doesn’t know that West Lafayette is full of young talents? !

Not to mention joining West Lafayette, even if you leave the Trail Blazers to join a new team in the future, you may be able to meet brothers from West Lafayette, which will definitely help you integrate into the team faster.

Throughout the history of the NBA, many players have performed very well for a certain team, but once they are transferred, their data immediately plummets!

There may be reasons why the tactical system is not suitable, but there may not be reasons for not being able to integrate into the team...

If your teammates don't recognize you, don't pass the ball to you on the court, and isolate you, then even if you have great ability, there is nothing you can do.

Therefore, when Iverson recommended that he and Kobe Bryant join West Lafayette, O'Brien's eyes lit up...

"Hey, hey, we don't need your recommendation!"

"When the day comes that I can beat you, we can easily join West Lafayette!" Kobe, who had been eating sullenly, said to Iverson with a pinched neck and dissatisfaction.

Xiao Ou looked confused. Is Kobe Bryant toxic? !

You are not happy, but I am happy...

Can you please stop representing me...

Before Xiao Ao could speak, Iverson suddenly laughed: "That's right, okay, then I'll wait for the day when you blow me up!"

"Hmph!" Kobe snorted and continued eating.

Richard smiled bitterly. Kobe's competitive spirit was a bit ridiculous. He originally thought about absorbing Kobe and O'Brien into West Lafayette this season, but now it seems that this time has to be pushed back...

As for when to push it, only the devil knows.

It all depends on when Kobe can beat Iverson...

…

Richard's first comeback game is over. Although he won, the fans of the home team and those who follow Richard feel a little strange...

This doesn’t look like Richard’s style!

The scenario they originally envisioned was for Richard to show off his power in the first game of his comeback, leading the Portland gang to fight their opponents in a chaotic manner, with several players from both sides suspended...

But this scene never happened. At the end of the game, the Portland gang actually hugged and shook hands with their opponents? !

Fans felt like they were watching a fake Trail Blazers game...

Of course, since the opponent in this first game of comeback was the Philadelphia 76ers, it was normal that no conflict broke out.

Next, let’s see when Richard’s Portland gang breaks out...

…

Next, the Trail Blazers played three more home games in succession, against the Clippers, Pistons and Greencaps.

In these three games, the Trail Blazers crushed them strongly!

Especially Ben, in the last four games, he averaged 5 points, 17 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game, continuously dominating the opponent's penalty area.

Since Richard came back, Ben's condition has gradually soared. No one knows whether he will produce historical-level statistics in the next game!

The original record of 2 wins and 5 losses turned into 6 wins and 5 losses after Richard came back. The Blazers directly broke into the top eight in the Western Conference!

Now Trail Blazers fans, in addition to wanting to see how long the Blazers' winning streak can last, also want to see when the Blazers will "reveal their true colors"...

If the Trail Blazers can end this season quietly and peacefully, then even the Blazers fans would not believe it!

Not to mention the fans don’t believe it, even Richard himself doesn’t believe it…

In the four games since his comeback, for some unknown reason, the game process was so peaceful that it made people speechless. Let alone the fights, there was not even a single person on the field who cursed trash...

In Richard's opinion, this is probably the calm before the storm mentioned in bloody novels.

There's no telling what shit will happen in the next game...
