Bishop of the Devil

After the Devils played at home, the Trail Blazers still ranked fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 11 wins and 6 losses...

In fact, speaking of it, the record ranking of the Western Conference this year is similar to last season, that is, the Rockets fell, and the record dropped sharply, falling from the top three in the Western Conference to the eighth in the Western Conference. Otherwise, the Lakers might still be fourth in the Western Conference, and the Trail Blazers would still be fourth in the Western Conference. five……

Now the Lakers are full of joy, and they have to thank the Rockets. If the Rockets had not fallen, then they would probably have to face the Trail Blazers led by Richard in the first round of this year's playoffs...

Now O'Neal has an inexplicable fear of the Trail Blazers, and his scalp is numb when he hears the name Richard.

He also watched the fight between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz in the Western Conference semifinals, and he was a little scared.

If I were in Malone's position, could I just beat Big Ben...

Not to mention that this year the big book has become stronger again...

Judging from the current situation, the Lakers probably won't meet the Trail Blazers in the first round anyway, which is undoubtedly a good thing that makes O'Neal happy.

…

In Richard's office.

Ben, O'Brien and Kobe were sitting in front of Richard...

"The upcoming schedule will be easier for us, so you may get more opportunities to perform on the court." Richard said to the three of them with a smile.

The three of them were a little confused. More opportunities to perform? Aren’t there already many opportunities for performance now...

"Coach, what do you mean?" Ben asked doubtfully.

"What I mean is to let you produce better data. To put it bluntly, I just want you to improve your data..."

"Last season, our Blazers didn't have any All-Stars. This season, I want to take advantage of the fact that the All-Star voting has not yet started, so that you can brush up the data and try to win an All-Star..." It is naturally impossible for Richard to put his own The task of creating a god was told to the three of them.

These words made the three people even more confused, brushing data? How do you do this? There is only one basketball...

"My plan is this. First identify a candidate, one of the three of you, and then gather the strength of the entire team to make him produce as good data as possible while ensuring that he can win!"

"How about this? Jermaine is the youngest, so let him start first..."

Xiao Ao's task was the simplest, so Richard targeted Xiao Ao first.

Ben and Kobe nodded. This kind of thing is relatively normal in any professional league. If the team wants to vigorously train a new player, it will adopt this approach.

Or if a team wants to trade a certain player, it will let him brush up on his data before trading, hoping to fatten up the player before selling him.

"Coach, you...you don't want to sell me, do you?" Xiao Ao asked with a grimace when he thought of this possibility.

Richard waved his hand quickly: "Don't think about it, how is it possible? I still count on you three boys to help me win the championship!"

Hearing Richard's assurance, Xiao Ao breathed a sigh of relief...

"Okay, let's first confirm the selection of Jayme. You, Ben, will try your best to help O's position in the paint, and then let O's get more rebounds and score. Kobe, you are the main point guard, and the team is in a big score. When you are leading, pass the ball to the inside first, I believe you should know how to do it!"

"By the way, Ben, you are the captain of the team. Please inform the other players. While ensuring that the team can win, try your best to let Jermaine produce super statistics!"

Xiao'ao looked surprised, and Ben and Kobe nodded in agreement.

After the three people left, Richard breathed a sigh of relief. These three primary god-making tasks were extremely difficult. He didn't know if Xiao Ao, the simplest task, could successfully complete it.

The first of three consecutive away games was against the Grizzlies.

Raheem is amazing now and has unlimited glory. At the end of last season, he averaged about 19 points and 7 rebounds per game.

And this season, after playing nearly 20 games, Rahim's data has improved again.

The current average of 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game does not seem to have improved much, but the offensive efficiency has improved a lot, and the comprehensive shooting rate has now reached almost 50%.

The outside three-pointers reached a terrifying 41.2%, which made Richard greedy to see...

This is simply the best candidate for a space-based power forward. If it were not for injuries, this guy might have a chance to grow into a player of a transcending era.

After meeting Rahim, Richard gave him some instructions, asking him to pay attention to his health and increase the number of outside shots.

Although Rashid has a high three-point shooting percentage, due to the team's tactics, his number of three-point shots was pitifully less than once.

Last season, the Grizzlies at least had Earvin Johnson as a blue-collar player. This season, Earvin Johnson has also left. Raheem has to carry the Grizzlies' inside line alone, which is very stressful...

Last season's head coach, Winston, has been fired. This season's new head coach, Brian Hill, is not as good as Winston. He is short-sighted, dim and incompetent. He is simply unable to fully utilize Raheem's potential. .

A model player like Raheem, a space-based power forward, was used by him to become a coolie-type center...

If things continue like this, it would be strange if Rahim is not abolished.

Richard was also secretly distressed, but there was nothing he could do about it. Raheem was the star player of the Grizzlies. They had only had such a star since the team was founded. He was probably willing to trade him to death...

…

With the departure of Earvin Johnson, the Grizzlies' interior defense is basically a decoration.

I'm afraid even if Big Ben doesn't help Ou, as long as Ou is given enough ball rights, with Ou's current level, it won't be difficult to produce a 20+10 data...

How could Richard miss such a good opportunity to brush up on data?

This game directly played Xiao'ao for nearly 40 minutes. In the end, with Ben's blocking and the passes of Kobe and Wu Sheng, Xiao'ao played quite dazzling statistics!

27 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks completely shocked the Grizzlies home fans.

The offensive efficiency is not high, 24 shots were exchanged for 27 points, but no one cared about this. The fans only saw the 19-year-old Xiao Ou completely destroying the Grizzlies' penalty area...

Bryant Levis, who faced off against O'Brien, only scored 7 points and 5 rebounds at the end of the game. He was turned into a scumbag by O'Brien.

When preparing for the first battle after embarking on the mission, Xiao Ao produced such outstanding data, which invisibly reduced the difficulty of subsequent missions.

In five games, he averaged 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. In other words, in five games, O'Neill averaged 100 points, 50 rebounds and 10 blocks in total!

If he can perform like this in the next four games, there is no doubt that Xiao Ao's task will be overfulfilled.
