Bishop of the Devil

Nowitzki, Harrington, Lewis, Mobley and Braggs are all looking at each other.

In the previous training camp, they all followed Richard's request and played on the outside. Now that five people are on the field at the same time, who will play inside? !

Seeing the five people looking at each other, Richard suddenly laughed.

"Boys, don't be nervous. This is just a preseason game. Once you get on the court, play according to the style you want to play. Don't think about winning or losing!"

"That's not something you consider, but something I consider!"

The five of them are still hesitant, mainly because none of them can play inside, or they don't want to play inside...

In the end, there was nothing he could do. Nowitzki raised his finger and said, "I'll play center..."

"Then I'll be the power forward..." Lewis continued.

Then Harrington chose the small forward position, and Braggs chose the shooting guard position. Naturally, the old cat could only play the one position.

…

At the beginning of the game, Nowitzki and Miller jumped the ball. What Richard didn't expect was that Nowitzki actually beat Miller...

After the ball got into Mobley's hands, the 1.9cm tall shooting guard rushed towards the frontcourt as fast as lightning.

With the Warriors' terrible backcourt, no one could guard Mobley.

Just as he reached the three-point line, Mobley made a cross-over pass, directly passed Starks, and then rushed to the basket for a violent dunk.

Richard couldn't help but cheer loudly from the sidelines!

This cross-over move can definitely be said to be Lao Mao's signature skill. Throughout NBA history, it is impossible to find a player who is better than Lao Mao in cross-overs.

In fact, in Richard's view, Lao Mao is really an underestimated player. If he entered the league more than ten years later, he would have become an All-Star starting level player.

His strong passing ability, stable three-point ability, and even back-to-the-basket ability are quite outstanding among shooting guards.

On the defensive end, it's not as good as Bowen or Kobe, but it's still above the level. At least it's so good at guarding those little point guards.

No one could have imagined that at the beginning of the game, the defender selected by the Trail Blazers in the second half of the second round would actually perform such a wonderful goal.

Countless fans stood up and cheered. Although they knew that the players selected by Richard were definitely not weak, but to be so strong was definitely a big surprise.

Adelman was in a daze on the sidelines. He was just thinking about Richard's words and wondering if there was a chance to trade for a backcourt player from the Trail Blazers...

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the Blazers' backcourt players gave him a surprise.

…

The game continued and it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

The shortcomings of the Trail Blazers' defensive scumbag lineup were exposed. After Jamison received Miller's pass, he basically didn't receive any interference and directly hit the mid-range shot.

Richard sighed. The defense of this lineup on the field is really scumbag...

There is absolutely no way to clear this up. Except for Mobley's defense, which is acceptable, the remaining players may have reached their peak stage, and their defensive strength is also worrying.

…

Ball possession transition, Blazers' offensive round.

This time Mobley wanted to show off his organizational skills, but his poor organizational skills betrayed him deeply, and the ball was passed directly to Starks' hands.

Mobley has naturally analyzed the current situation of the Trail Blazers...

The Trail Blazers are currently overcrowded at forward and guard, lacking players at the center and point guard positions.

In this case, if you want to get more playing time, you can either play as a backup center or as a backup point guard.

And with his height of 1.93cm, he obviously cannot play center and can only develop in the direction of point guard.

As a result, he made such a big mistake in his first pass, which made him quite embarrassed...

Richard was also smiling bitterly on the sidelines. He originally planned to let the old cat develop into a point guard, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

The old cat's passing and organizing ability is really a bit too bad, so bad that an honest man like Nowitzki would laugh out loud on the court.

This mistake was directly seized by the Warriors as an opportunity to counterattack, and Miller hit a rebound under the basket in the frontcourt.

…

In the next offensive round, Lao Mao also learned a lesson. If his passing ability was not good, he simply stopped making long passes and handed the ball to his teammates as much as possible...

This is the most clumsy way to pass the ball. It would be too embarrassing if another mistake occurs.

Although there are no mistakes, there must be a huge problem with the team's offensive rhythm. Passing the ball from hand to hand, by the time you finish passing the ball, the day lily is cold, and there is no chance to take a shot...

The five Blazers rookies on the court all showed their strengths.

And their specialty is three points...

Next, the fans at the scene only saw Old Cat Mobley's poor backcourt power. After dribbling to the frontcourt, if there was little defensive resistance in the frontcourt, he would cross and break through himself, and then make a layup.

If there is strong defensive resistance, this guy will rely on his speed, like a courier boy, to move around with the ball and hand it to his anti-aircraft teammate...

…

It is impossible to win. With such defensive intensity, there is at least a 90% chance that the Boilermakers will beat them. It is obviously impossible to win against the Warriors who have all the starters.

However, even though they lost this preseason game in the end, the fans were still quite satisfied with this wave of rookies.

These five people all played for about thirty-five minutes, and for the rest of the scattered time, Richard asked Big Ben and the others to play for a while.

In thirty-five minutes, these five players were trashed defensively and rebounded by the Warriors, but they performed reasonably well offensively.

Although the shooting rate is definitely not as high as that of the Warriors, at least it is still eye-catching and not to the point of being unsightly.

Mobley scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in this game, which is quite an outstanding performance. He has the best statistics among the five newcomers.

And Nowitzki is the most stable. Whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, his performance was outstanding in this game. However, due to not enough shooting opportunities, he only scored 17 points.

As for the remaining three, the offensive end is remarkable, at least they didn't feel at a loss after catching the ball.

What really surprised Richard was Braggs' performance...

Because his draft pick was too low, the Old Cat may have ignored him a little and didn't pass the ball to Braggs very frequently.

But even so, Braggs still made 2 of 4 three-pointers in this game.

Of course, with 2 of 4 three-pointers, the defense is completely unreadable. Maybe the defensive effect is not as good as spreading a blank sheet of paper in front of the opponent's players...
