Bishop of the Devil

In the second quarter, Kobe Bryant played again, but this time O'Brien did not play. Richard took on Lewis, Harrington and Nowitzki.

Facts have proved that even if O'Brien is not blocked, Ben can still successfully complete the task when facing low-intensity insiders like the Nuggets.

McDyess is actually very good, but after all, he is not a full-time blue-collar player. His strength is more reflected on the offensive end. It is simply impossible to expect him to suppress the big players in rebounding and interior defense.

There are specializations in the art industry, and Ben’s specialization is blue-collar work. If McDyess is not as good at blue-collar work, then he will be of little value...

…

Kobe's shooting percentage today is a little weird.

Richard can only think of this adjective to describe Kobe...

In just a few minutes of the first quarter, he scored 10 points on 5-for-7 shooting. In the second quarter, Kobe continued to show off his dizzying touch. In eight minutes of playing, he scored another miraculous 6-for-9, and He also made 2 of 2 free throws and scored 14 points!

With Kobe so strong, the Nuggets trailed by only three points in the first quarter and were on the verge of breaking a double.

With no other choice, Richard could only take Kobe off the field again.

This is definitely a happy trouble. Richard never expected that one day he would have a headache because of the high shooting percentage of his players.

Especially this player’s name is Kobe Bryant…

When Kobe was off the court, Richard didn't bring Mobley up, but brought up Braggs, who was a blank slate of defenders.

Old Curry is currently rested by Richard and placed on the injured list.

After all, he is a veteran, and the contract has been signed for three years. This may be the last contract of the old Curry's career, and it can be regarded as his pension contract.

At the current regular season stage, Richard is not planning to let the old Curry play too much, that is, he trains with the team on weekdays and gives pointers to the newcomers' three-pointers.

Old Curry has no objection to this. At his age, it is definitely impossible to expect that he will pursue anything else. If he can get a championship ring with the Trail Blazers, his career will be almost perfect...

When the team is playing away games, wouldn't it be wonderful for Old Curry to tinker with his hobby of baseball?

…

The Quiet Trail Blazers' current lineup on the field can hardly be described as bizarre.

Ben, a blue-collar player, with four rookies with extremely poor defense, if he can outperform the Nuggets, then I'm afraid D'Antoni will follow Harris and be fired by the Nuggets management office the next day.

The 10-point difference when Kobe was on the court was tied by the Nuggets not long after...

The entire arena was silent. Why did it seem like Richard was letting them nuggets?

With the strength of the Trail Blazers, it would be absolutely easy to kill the Nuggets. If nothing else, just give Kobe more playing time and use less new players, the Nuggets will be completely defeated.

But Richard doesn't...

He clearly has the ability to beat the Nuggets, but he just drags...

"Did Richard's conscience find out? Is he going to change his ways?"

"Who knows, I feel that it is unlikely that we will change our ways. What is more likely is that we, the Nuggets, have no grudges against the Trail Blazers, and he is too lazy to punish us!"

"That's right, we Nuggets have no grudge against Richard, so he doesn't have to be cruel to us!"

Nuggets fans started muttering...

Head coach D'Antoni felt grateful to Richard.

In fact, this is the first regular season game of D'Antoni's coaching career. The Trail Blazers can play the opening game. Naturally, a team like the Nuggets has no chance to play the opening game. Their first show of the season is two days later than the Trail Blazers.

This was the first game of his coaching career, and as a result, he directly ran into a super strong team like the Trail Blazers. It was impossible for D'Antoni not to be nervous.

If the Trail Blazers score the largest points difference in a single game in history, his first game as a head coach will be completely ruined...

By then the Nuggets management would feel so embarrassed that it would not be impossible to directly fire him as a new head coach.

There is no doubt that if Richard is really serious, the Trail Blazers are currently playing against a completely restrained team like the Nuggets. Even if they cannot score the largest point difference in a single game in history, they can win by 30 or 40 points. Point difference, quite a chance.

But Richard is currently on a mission to create a god, so he is definitely not that crazy.

Besides, D'Antoni is a coach that Richard admires very much. He currently uses his Hu Jiba tactics, so he has to save some face for others...

…

At the end of the half, Ben had already scored 15 rebounds and 3 blocks. He was only 5 rebounds and 1 block away from the average goal of the mission. He could easily get it in the second half!

Richard naturally thought that he could over-fulfill Daben's god-making task, so that he might be able to gain some additional benefits.

The last time Xiao Ao completed the task of making a god, he was given a pill to change the situation. Although the process was quite thrilling, it played a big role in the end and improved Oben's rebounding strength.

…

As for Kobe, this game was a bit explosive. He only played 13 minutes in the first half, and ended up scoring 24 points, hitting 11 of 16 shots!

Richard has something to say about such a high hitting rate.

"Man, after coming on the court, try your best to focus on the defensive end and the organizational end. See if there is a chance to hit the spot tonight and get the next triple-double!"

In the last game, Kobe's statistics were 30 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 50%. There is definitely no problem with Kobe's scoring in this game. The problems are with the defensive data and triple-double.

If he plays well in this game and gets triple-double data and more defensive data in one step, then Kobe's mission to become a god will be almost completed!

"Okay, coach, I know what to do!" Kobe nodded solemnly.

Since the start of the game, he has not expected that his touch can be so hot. It seems that no one can stop his attack.

…

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Kobe began to act as a perimeter gate and backcourt engine.

The amazing thing is that Kobe, who does not attack, still produces extremely powerful destructive power on the defensive and organizational ends.

Nowitzki and Harrington, after receiving passes from Kobe, made various mid-range shots, causing Kobe's assist data to skyrocket.

As for the defensive data, in the first 13 minutes of Kobe's appearance, he already had 1 steal and 2 blocks. In the second half, just a little data will not drag down the average per game.
