Bishop of the Devil

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Richard clapped his hands excitedly and yelled at the starting players.

"cheer up!"

"Defense! I want to see defense!"

"I want to see you tear them apart!"

Da Ben’s muscles were all bulging at this moment, and his heart, which was originally a little confused due to three consecutive defeats, became firmer because of Richard’s words!

Firm as iron!

He is the big brother of the Boilermakers, and he will never allow his team's record to be inferior to those of his little brothers!

What's more, he is working for Richard now. For no other reason, even if it is just for Richard's face, he must fight hard!

Ben remembers clearly the first time he met Richard when he was working in a fast food restaurant more than two years ago.

"Ben, hang out with me from now on!"

"I, Richard, promise you a future!"

In Big Ben's opinion, Richard's promise was fulfilled and he gave himself a decent future!

"Now, it's time for me to repay the coach!"

"For yourself and for the coach, tear them apart!" Ben clenched his fists tightly and stared at the Cavaliers players with fierce eyes!

Richard felt relieved when he saw Ben's expression.

Big Ben is a fighter, the ultimate fighter!

It was not unreasonable for the Pistons to have Ben as their captain. He was the spiritual leader of the iron-blooded Pistons!

The new Trail Blazers team is encountering difficulties, and Richard needs Ben to step up in advance!

He needs Daben's iron-blooded temperament to lead this new army to clear away the haze!

…

The Cavaliers' starting lineup: Center Mark West, Power Forward Te'lon Hill, Small Forward Chris Mills, Shooting Guard Bobby Fiers, and Point Guard Terrill Brandon!

Except for Te'lon Hill, the other four players were all the Cavaliers' original starters. It can be said that their overall lineup has not changed much from last season.

Hill replaced Michael Cage. Cage was traded away by the Cavaliers this season, and Te'lon Hill, who originally played as a backup power forward, got the chance to start.

It seems that the data of these two players are not much different, both are around 8 points and 9 rebounds...

But the roles played by the two in the Cavaliers are completely different.

Hill's defense is so bad that a power forward who is 206 centimeters tall averages less than half a block per game in his career!

This is why Richard feels that the Blazers have a chance to defeat the Cavaliers!

Veteran Mark West, who was originally the Cavaliers center, had a bad defense. He averaged 0.7 blocks per game last season. Originally, Cage was there to share the defensive pressure. The Cavaliers' interior defense problems were not too obvious. …

But when Cage left, the problem exploded, causing the Cavaliers to start with 2 wins and 4 losses!

In today's game, Richard feels that Ben will definitely have an amazing performance!

…

Facing the 2.08-meter-tall veteran center Mark West, O'Neal tiptoed lightly and won the first offensive round for the Blazers!

Kobe controlled the ball and advanced, and he was defended by Brandon, who was 180cm tall and weighed 80kg.

Brandon's offensive ability is very good, basically at the level of Leder, but as a point guard, his organizational skills are average, and his defensive end is even more average, one or two levels behind Iverson.

Under the pick-and-roll of teammate Robinson, Kobe took his first shot of the game.

A three-pointer from a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line!

This ball was shot extremely decisively!

Richard and the four Vajra assistants all looked at it and nodded repeatedly.

The inhuman Kobe, who had just been abused by Payton in the last game, seemed to have already adjusted. He started with extremely decisive and confident shots, and there was no hesitation at all!

This is an extremely valuable personal quality, especially for a player.

Many players have become timid in future games because of being beaten. Their potential, which was originally quite good, has simply disappeared into thin air and disappeared from everyone...

But Kobe is obviously not this kind of person!

Even if you blast him into pieces, the next time he sees you, he will only be crazier than last time, instead of cowering!

Such quality is called silly and bold in local dialect...

No matter how bold a person is, how productive the land is, Kobe's ability to reach such heights in the future largely depends on his stupidity and boldness...

To put it in a more fashionable way, it’s called perseverance.

In this game, the tenacious Kobe was not affected by the previous game at all, and he still shot so decisively. Richard even felt that if it weren't for the shackles he set, Kobe would probably attack like crazy in this game!

"Look, let me tell you, Kobe is definitely a superstar!"

"If it had been anyone else, he would have been in such a miserable state in the last game, and he would have been affected this time, right? But Kobe had no impact at all!"

"Besides, this kid is really eager to learn. He even asked me to learn his moves around the basket!"

“It’s simply unreasonable to not become a superstar!”

Zhang Weiping sat next to Richard and muttered.

He also had no idea why he was so fond of Kobe and why he felt so close to him when he looked at him...

After learning that Richard had put a shackles on Kobe, Zhang Weiping couldn't help but praise Kobe next to Richard.

The purpose, of course, is to see if Richard can let Kobe loosen his shackles.

For example, give more chances to shoot in a game.

Naturally, Richard knew Zhang Weiping's purpose, so he simply stopped making trouble with Zhang Weiping and allowed him to praise him while he just smiled and said nothing.

The shackles must still be given.

If you don't give it, you will go to heaven...

…

Kobe made a decisive three-point shot, and with good luck, he hit it directly!

The Cavaliers quickly served Brandon from the sidelines and wanted to immediately counterattack.

After the Blazers have played these six games, the situation has been completely understood by the coaching staff of each team in the league. Facing such a new team, no one wants to lose, so they will naturally come up with tactics to restrain the Blazers.

But Kobe didn't give Brandon a chance to quickly organize a counterattack. He was like an octopus. Ever since Brandon caught the ball in his own half, he had been pestering Brandon...

With Brandon's physique, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to surpass Kobe.

I tried several times to rely on my own speed to get past Kobe, but failed.

With no other option, he could only pass the ball to his teammates...

After this delay, a quick counterattack failed, and the Blazers players fell into position one after another.

Cavaliers head coach Fratello looked helpless. A good fast break was ruined by an eighteen-year-old kid...

The Cavaliers' lineup itself is not designed to play fast break. If Brandon is to attack by himself, that's fine...

But if you ask him to organize a fast break, his organizational skills can't do it!
