Bishop of the Devil

The fans at the scene stood up and cheered. The Trail Blazers won this game so easily!

Although the Suns team is not considered a powerful team in the eyes of Trail Blazers fans and can only be regarded as a team at the bottom of the second tier of the Western Conference, there is really no surprise in winning the Suns.

But looking at the Blazers' lineup for this game, they only used less than half of their main lineup to win the Suns so easily, which is enough to show how powerful the Blazers are right now.

In the entire game, the best player in terms of statistics was Nowitzki.

In the last game, the driver scored 17 points. In the preseason, such a score can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, not outstanding.

After all, no one showed 100% strength in the preseason...

In today's game, the driver scored 27 points, which was quite a surprise to the Trail Blazers fans. Obviously, Richard, the German newcomer, made the right choice...

Based on his current performance on the court, the achievements he can achieve in the future will not be much worse.

…

Both Ben and Kobe played this game for twenty-five minutes. The crazy training in the offseason was not in vain. The strength displayed on the court now is obviously better than last season. promote.

Richard actually felt a little helpless when he saw the performance of Kobe and Ben...

The reason is that in this year's shortened season, the NBA directly canceled the All-Star Game. If it had not been canceled, Richard felt that in this year's All-Star Game, more players from the Trail Blazers would have the opportunity to be selected for the All-Star Game.

Ben is expected to be selected as an All-Star this season, and Rashid also has a chance.

If the All-Star Game had not been canceled, the Trail Blazers might have four players entering the All-Star Game. What an honor this is.

But now with the season shortened, the All-Star Weekend has been canceled directly...

…

In this game, Kobe was more assisting his rookie teammates. In the final 25 minutes of playing time, he scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists.

Kobe has been playing the point guard position for two years.

After two years of training, coupled with Kobe's inherent talent as a point guard, in Richard's view, Kobe's passing and controlling ability is actually a normal Kobe beyond his peak.

As for Ben, in 25 minutes of playing time, he scored 0 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals, and defeated the opponent's center combination.

…

"Our luck is quite bad. The players felt very bad today..." Angie told reporters at the post-game press conference.

Ainge has personally experienced the sense of crisis. If he cannot make further breakthroughs in the Suns' performance this season, such as passing the first round of the playoffs, I am afraid that his coaching position will be lost...

In fact, Old Ainge was right. This season was indeed his last full season coaching the Suns. Next season, he led the Suns to play one-third of the schedule before being fired by the Suns.

Since then, Anji has never been involved in the coaching profession, and instead joined the management team, joining Green Kai and becoming the general manager of Green Kai.

He didn't achieve much in his coaching career, but Aninge's management career was pretty cool, and he even won the honor of the best manager of the season.

Now Anji, of course, doesn't know how he can shine in Green Kai in the future. What he is thinking about now is how to keep his coaching position as much as possible.

"Mr. Anji, are you saying that if you are good enough, you can kill the Trail Blazers?" An ignorant reporter stood up and asked.

This question directly choked Anji to the point of being speechless...

"It's possible, you know, there's a lot of uncertainty in sports!"

"The Trail Blazers are naturally very strong. After all, they are a team that can compete with the Bulls in seven games, but it is impossible for the Trail Blazers not to lose. Theoretically, any team has the possibility of defeating them..."

Anji started to be careless, and when faced with reporters' questions, he avoided the important ones and answered the easy ones.

"This preseason has allowed us to discover some problems with the lineup, and we may make some adjustments to the lineup next!"

"Let's be patient and things will get better..."

The last words Anji may have said were to the Suns management, asking them to be patient and not to fire him before finishing the season.

At the post-game press conference, Richard listened to reporters relaying Anji's remarks and felt a little sympathetic to Anji.

The job of head coach is actually not that easy. Anji's life is obviously not easy now. If Richard wants to help Anji, it is actually quite easy. If Richard sends two outsiders to the Suns, all the problems of the Suns will be solved. It will be solved easily...

But Richard is not a living Buddha. There are many poor head coaches...

…

In the next four preseason games, the Blazers won two and lost two. In the two games they lost, all five newcomers started at the same time. In the two games they won, Richard was not crazy enough to start all of them. Just let the two main players and three newcomers appear.

Richard is quite satisfied with the current strength of the Trail Blazers. This is definitely the strongest team he has coached since time travel!

He was even confident that if the Bulls had not disintegrated, their Blazers would have a chance to defeat the Bulls in six games!

…

On February 5th, the Trail Blazers finally waited for their first game of the regular season!

At this time in previous years, preparations for the All-Star Weekend began, but now that the regular season has just begun, it is extremely normal for the All-Star Game to be cancelled.

The Blazers in previous years were not eligible to participate in the season opener. After all, they were not ranked first in the Western Conference at that time.

After seven games with the Bulls in last season's finals, the Trail Blazers have become the most dominant team in the Western Conference. The Trail Blazers are definitely eligible to participate in the opening game.

Away game against the Lakers!

The other opening matchup in the Western Conference is the Spurs versus the Jazz.

…

The regular season has officially started, and the opponent is the Lakers, one of the Trail Blazers' main opponents this season. Naturally, Richard can no longer use newcomers as the main force!

The Lakers' lineup will undergo a lot of changes this season. They will introduce an All-Star player before April - Glenn Rice!

Wasp Queen Glen Rice…

The Lakers sent Eddie Jones and Campbell inside in exchange for Glen Rice.

Although this transaction has not yet begun, Richard knows that this transaction is inevitable. The Lakers are very eager for an all-around forward and defensive line player like Glen Rice.

And now the Lakers have sent away the team's main point guard Fan Fan and made a trade with the Nuggets...
