Bishop of the Devil

After the game, Richard stood up with a smile to greet the players coming off the field.

Now it seems that his original team building plan couldn't be more brilliant. If he can beat the Lakers like this, other teams may have no way to survive in front of the Trail Blazers.

O'Neal actually performed quite well in this game. He scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, which was at least much better than his average data per game...

But just 32 points obviously cannot lead the Lakers to win against the Trail Blazers.

Moreover, his 32 points and 55% shooting rate are really not high for O'Neal...

Except for O'Neal, Eddie Jones, the Lakers' top scorer, only scored 17 points, and Kidders, the other main outside attacker, only scored 14 points...

With such outside firepower, it is obviously impossible to kill the Trail Blazers!

For the Trail Blazers, Ben played for 40 minutes in this game and scored 2 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. The data naturally does not look very good, but he has set a good example in defending O'Neal. contribution.

At least half of the credit for winning against the Lakers must be attributed to Big Ben.

Without Big Ben, O'Neal alone would be enough to make Richard cry without tears...

In addition to Ben, Kobe's performance tonight was also perfect!

30 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, which is comparable to O'Neal's statistics!

Richard can clearly feel the changes in Kobe, but he can't tell where Kobe's current changes are...

Compared with the previous two seasons, he is more confident and looks like a backcourt engine.

As long as Kobe is on the court, the Blazers' offense is almost always directed by Kobe, which feels a bit like scolding Fang Qiu.

Looking at Kobe's data, Richard felt that it was necessary for him to start Kobe's primary god-making mission...

Kobe's junior god-making task requires him to average 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks in five consecutive games, and within these five games, there will be a triple-double in one game!

Of course, the most important thing is that the average hit rate needs to be above 48!

Right now, Kobe's shooting percentage in this game is exactly 50%. In fact, he can try to do the God-making mission. Anyway, there is no such thing as failure in this mission, and it can be started at any time...

Kobe and Ben can almost be regarded as the internal and external core of the team at the moment. Of course, this internal and external core is different from the OK combination.

In addition to these two people, Harrington, who came on as a substitute in this game, made Richard's eyes shine.

He only played for 13 minutes, but Harrington had a perfect performance of 3 of 4 mid-range shots and 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 12 points by himself!

This kind of offensive efficiency is enough to be called terrifying...

In addition to Harrington, Nowitzki and several other players also performed well, at least much better than their normal rookie seasons...

The reason is actually because they participated in the training camp in West Lafayette.

Under normal circumstances, the time when these newcomers enter the league is actually quite bad. The team and the players union are in the midst of labor negotiations, so naturally they have no energy to train these newcomers...

In other words, they were organized to participate in the summer league, but the summer league really didn't have much training significance. Everyone was a rookie, and the rookies beat the rookies, and the more they played, the better they became.

After being selected by Richard, they have received systematic offseason training. Even if Richard is not here, these players have the guidance of top NCAA trainers in the training hall of Purdue University, and the results are definitely better than practicing by themselves. Much better.

Coupled with the guidance of some veteran players and two training matches every day, Richard would be surprised if their strength did not improve at all...

…

After returning to the visiting team's locker room, Richard asked Stevens for the next schedule.

Since we are about to start Kobe's mission of making a god, we naturally want to take a look at the upcoming schedule, and even let Ben do it together. After all, there is no big conflict between the two people's missions.

After looking at the schedule, Richard was quite satisfied because the opening game was against the Lakers, a powerful player in the Western Conference, so the Blazers didn't have any particularly strong opponents in the next few games.

The strongest one is probably the Detroit Pistons in the East...

However, the Pistons' strength lies in their small forward Grant Hill, which has nothing to do with the tasks of Kobe and Ben.

Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Pistons and New Jersey Nets.

The first three games are all away games for the Trail Blazers, while the next two games are the Blazers' home games...

The schedule was quite easy, so Richard simply called everyone together for a meeting in the visiting team's locker room.

"Guys, I just took a look at our upcoming schedule. It's a pretty easy schedule!"

"I think newcomers will get more opportunities in the future, and I hope all newcomers will be ready!"

"Ben, Jermaine and Kobe, you three come with me!" Richard led the three of them out of the locker room. It is definitely better to talk about this kind of thing in private.

O'Brien has already completed the task of creating a god before, so this time Richard is going to let O'Brien help a group of big Bens. After all, if O'Brien helps big Bens get blocked, the probability of big Bens getting rebounds will be greater.

Richard decided to start the tasks of Kobe and Ben at the same time.

After listening, the three of them all smiled and nodded. Last season, they all helped Xiao Ou improve a wave of data, and as a result, Xiao Ou directly qualified for the All-Star starter...

Without those five consecutive games of super performance, O'Neill might have been selected as an All-Star as a substitute at best.

Now this opportunity is up to Kobe and Ben...

"Coach, don't worry, I will assist you!" Xiao Ao solemnly nodded.

"By the way, coach, what kind of data are you going to let me play?"

Da Ben is a little curious...

"20 rebounds and 4 blocks, plus a triple-double!" Richard said with a smile.

The three of them immediately opened their eyes, wondering if Richard was joking...

"Coach, are you sure?! Triple-double?!"

"The data of 20 rebounds and 4 blocks, I think if Jermaine helps me, it is possible for me to achieve it..."

"But a triple-double?! Doesn't that mean I have to get 10 assists or 10 blocks?!"

Ben was completely shocked. He knew that this data was too difficult for him...

"No kidding! Get serious, guys!"

"This is good for you all, I'm not kidding!"

"When the time comes, let's take it step by step on the field..."

Richard put on a straight face and said solemnly.

This god-making task is quite important, especially for Daben!

Once completed, Ben will have the top rebounding strength in history, which will have countless benefits for Ben's personal development and the Blazers' championship.

"Coach, what about me..." Kobe asked curiously. Ben's task was so difficult, and he felt that his task was not much easier.

Sure enough, when Richard told the data that Kobe needed to play, Kobe took a breath...

The difficulty is no less than that of Daben's mission. It may even be even more difficult because of the many restrictions!
