Bishop of the Devil

Kobe Bryant's task of creating a god was completely overfulfilled. Except that Richard didn't get any benefits, he couldn't find any faults...

Since the start of the season, the Trail Blazers have played a total of four away games. As a result, Kobe's performance in these four games has been unbeatable!

Three of the games scored more than 30 points, and the remaining game with 28 points was even more amazing, with a triple-double!

Jordan had just retired, and Kobe immediately stepped up!

Coupled with the similar styles and body shapes of Kobe and Jordan, it directly set off a wave of Kobe fever among the fan base.

I don’t know if it’s hot in Tokyo right now, but Kobe Bryant is very hot right now!

…

This god-making task is really just like its name, creating a little god.

Kobe is now hailed as the real successor to Jordan, and his popularity is extremely popular. If this year's All-Star Game is held normally, Kobe will definitely be able to enter the starting lineup in the Western Conference.

…

"Guys, in the next two games, I need everyone to work together to help Ben complete a task!" Richard summoned the players and said to everyone with a smile.

"Coach, what's the mission? Isn't it to ask Ben to score 30 points in a single game?"

"You'd better spare us, coach. I think it's as difficult for Ben to score 30 points as it is for Kobe to score 100 points in a single game!"

Rasheed joked with a smile.

"It's not that exaggerated. In the next game, I want to have a triple-double!"

"Wow..." Several main players on the team were immediately shocked.

Even though Kobe had a relatively easy time getting a triple-double, if he had been a big player, it would have been several times more difficult for him to get a triple-double than Kobe!

"Is this difficult?"

"Don't worry, just follow my arrangements. It won't be difficult at all!"

"After the mission is completed, let me treat everyone to a good meal!"

…

Harris, the newly joined team's assistant coach, met with the Blazers yesterday and attended the Blazers meeting today.

What Richard said just now made Harris feel that the Lakers he led suffered a tragic defeat to the Trail Blazers, and it was not so difficult to accept.

Because Richard is a madman...

This madman actually wants a player like Ben to score a triple-double!

At the moment, Harris seems to be a "spy" who has infiltrated the enemy. The more he looks at it, the more frightened he becomes.

He originally thought that the Portland gangs were as wild and uninhibited off the field as they were on the field, but seeing the scene in front of him, it was obvious that Harris was wrong...

The team atmosphere of the Trail Blazers is simply too good. A bunch of players are sitting together, talking and laughing. Even Kobe, who is currently in the limelight, does not put on any airs of superiority.

When they heard that Richard was going to get a triple-double for Ben, what the players were thinking about most was not whether it would affect their performance, but the first thing they thought about was how to do it...

The cohesion of such a team is simply terrifying. Harris feels that he has come to the right place.

…

Next, the Trail Blazers finally ushered in their first home game of the season.

vs. the Detroit Pistons…

Because the teams he currently has are too strong, Richard can now find many problems with these teams.

The current Pistons, under the leadership of new head coach Alvin Gentry, are in a mess.

Gentry coached the Miami Heat for half a season in 1994, but was fired. Then he took over the Pistons' coach in the second half of last season and became the Pistons' new head coach.

In terms of coaching qualifications, Gentry currently only has one year of experience as an NBA head coach, which is far inferior to Richard.

This kind of head coach with little qualifications definitely has no say in the lineup.

Last season, they conducted a trade with the Philadelphia 76ers, acquired Stackhouse, and sent Ratliff.

Now the drawbacks of this deal appear...

The Pistons couldn't even find a decent insider. On the contrary, Stackhouse, who was acquired in the trade, was not reused and appeared as a substitute in most of the Pistons' games.

Richard could probably guess what the Pistons were thinking when they agreed to the deal. It was a rare commodity!

At that time, Stackhouse's value was quite high. After all, for such a young player who averaged 20 points per game, the price offered by the 76ers was not too outrageous. They simply agreed to the deal and wanted to get Stackhouse first. …

If you resell it, you might be able to make a lot of money!

But the Pistons miscalculated the free market in the past two years...

Centers are withering, there are too few good centers, and things are rare and expensive. In addition, it may also be the reason for the rise of the Trail Blazers. A team without qualified inside players is simply a piece of fish on the chopping board in front of the Trail Blazers.

The price of good insiders continues to rise, and the value of players like Stackhouse will naturally decrease a lot.

Of course, if Stackhouse can have the all-round skills of Kobe, then it must be another matter...

The main reason is that Stackhouse is not good at defense and organization. The only offensive thing he can do is actually just that, and his shooting rate is too bad.

…

After the deal with the Philadelphia 76ers was reached, the current starting center of the Pistons is named Bison Deller. He is 206 meters tall and averages 5.6 rebounds per game. He can be called a unique scenery in the league...

Searching all the teams in the league, I can't find a team whose center is only averaging 5.6 rebounds per game...

The team's player with the highest rebound average per game is Grant Hill, who averages 7.1 rebounds per game.

It can be said that in this game against the Pistons, Ben must have no big problem in rebounding. Can the Pistons be as strong as the Nuggets and Grizzlies inside? Really not...

As long as Ben plays normally, O'Neill helps out from time to time, and gives Ben plenty of playing time, 20 rebounds shouldn't be too easy.

…

Richard is concerned about Ben's next god-making task. For example, if tonight's game is played according to his own arrangement, will Ben be able to score a triple-double?

Other fans are definitely not paying attention to the same thing as Richard. What they are paying attention to is the duel between the old and new generations of Jordan's successors!

The successor of the old Jordan is naturally Grant Hill...

In 1994, Hill had just entered the league and his popularity was skyrocketing.

In his rookie season, he was directly selected as the All-Star as the vote leader!

This is also the first player in the four major North American sports leagues to win the vote-leading honor in his rookie season.

The reason is that Stern is actually causing trouble in this matter. With Jordan retiring for the first time, he urgently needs to create another basketball god.

Hill has a good image, comprehensive skills, and good personality. In Stern's opinion, Hill is the perfect goal to create a god!

As a result, Hill naturally became famous, and he showed signs of becoming a god in his rookie season.
