Bishop of the Devil

As the game continued, the cheers of the Trail Blazers home team fans never stopped.

Because the difference in strength between the two sides on the field is really too big...

The Bucks are currently ranked among the top eight in the Eastern Conference. Logically speaking, their strength is not too bad, but in front of the Trail Blazers, it can really be described as dwarfed by them.

In just half a quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers had already overpowered the Bucks with a 9-point lead!

It's a completely one-sided situation...

The fans at the scene were very excited. What they wanted to watch was this kind of carnage-like game. The previous tepid games didn't seem to be of much interest.

…

George Karl sighed, feeling helpless in his heart.

It's really helpless, there is absolutely nothing we can do against the Trail Blazers...

Their weak inside line is their most fatal flaw, because the inside line is too weak, causing the Blazers' outside trio to attack the basket...

Even if they don't hit the basket and the Trail Blazers miss their shots, the Bucks can't get rebounds.

If you can't get rebounds, how can you play this game...

The Bucks' shots are accurate, but not accurate enough to kill the Trail Blazers.

What makes George Karl most helpless is that he can clearly feel that Bucks players are afraid of Trail Blazers players.

This kind of fear causes players on the field to shrink their hands and feet, completely unable to let go of their hands and feet to play.

For example, if there is a fight for the ball on the court, the two sides are deadlocked, and the referee does not blow the whistle for the two sides to fight for the ball, the Bucks players have already given up the ball on their own initiative...

George Karl knows very well that the Bucks are going to be in trouble tonight.

Maybe the final result of the game will be quite ugly...

With three minutes left in the first quarter, Richard changed the lineup on the court. Kobe and O'Neill remained on the court, and the other three were replaced by Driver, Harrington and Bowen.

Even so, the Bucks were completely unable to resist. Robinson and Ray Allen were on the court all the time in the first quarter and did not end up at all. In the end, they lost by a full 16 points in the first quarter.

31:15, the Bucks' single-quarter score was less than half of the Trail Blazers'...

What George Karl couldn't accept the most was that they didn't score more points than Kobe Bryant alone, who scored a whopping 17 points in the first quarter.

"By the way, what is the largest single-game point difference in NBA history?" Richard turned to Stevens beside him and said.

"68 points, the point difference when the Cavaliers beat the Heat at the end of 1991..." Upon hearing Richard's question, Stevens guessed what Richard was going to do...

"So many?" Richard blinked. Originally, he planned to beat the Bucks to the largest point difference in history in this game and completely nail the opponent to the pillar of shame.

As a result, the 68-point difference was really astonishing...

"Coach, you're not expecting the biggest point difference in history in this game, are you?" It was the break time. When the players heard Richard's words, they all asked with a smile.

Richard nodded, "Yes, I did have this idea at first, but it felt unrealistic..."

"Can you do it?"

The players all smiled bitterly. That was a 68-point difference. It was not that easy to break.

"Just do your best. Anyway, the more points you give me, the better. I will definitely teach the Bucks a lesson they will never forget!"

"By the way, what is the largest winning margin in the history of the Bucks? Stevens, do you know?" Richard asked again.

"59 points. At the end of 1978, when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar led the Bucks against the Pistons, they scored the largest winning margin in team history of 59 points!" Stevens answered without thinking.

Richard looked at Stevens in surprise. Is this guy a robot? He actually knew all this and remembered it so clearly that he answered it without saying a word...

The largest point difference in history, Stevens could remember it, it was nothing. Richard actually knew it, but he was not so sure, so he asked Stevens.

But it’s amazing to remember the Bucks’ largest winning margin in franchise history…

It’s literally a humanoid computer!

"Have you heard that? Work hard and try to let the stag taste the blood of others!"

Richard smiled at the generals and said...

…

The game restarts in the second quarter.

Richard placed his base at the center position, Rasheed played power forward, and the other three players were Warriors Jackson, Mobley and Robinson.

This lineup is definitely not the Blazers' strongest lineup, but such a lineup, it is no exaggeration to say, alone, can definitely make the playoffs in the Western Conference...

Not even just the playoffs, if you're lucky, it won't be a problem to reach the Western Conference semifinals.

This is enough to show how terrifying the Trail Blazers' lineup is right now. Richard casually came up with a lineup, which is the top lineup in the league...

How to fight a stag?

Originally, George Karl wanted to let Big Dog Robinson and Ray Allen rest off the court. After all, both of them played 12 minutes in the first quarter.

But just two minutes into the second quarter, Karl had no choice but to put the two men back on the court.

Because if you don't let go, the Bucks may collapse before the end of this quarter!

In just two minutes, the original 16-point difference had reached 20 points...

The game had only been played for just over a quarter, and the point difference directly exceeded 20. George Karl had the urge to strangle his players.

…

The Bucks' starting lineup looks pretty good on paper, but the bench lineup is completely unsightly. Cassell is currently on the bench. Apart from Cassell, there is no one on their bench who can play. nothing……

Big Dog and Ray Allen are not on the court, and only Cassel is on the court. It would be strange if he is not crushed by the Blazers' lineup!

With four minutes left in the second quarter, Richard made another substitution. Rasheed and Mobley came off the field, replacing Lewis and Kobe.

The Rose Garden Arena was filled with overwhelming cheers. No matter how the Trail Blazers made substitutions, the strength of the lineup on the court was first-rate, and the Bucks were unable to compete.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

The big score of 69:35 made the home team fans roar with excitement. After halftime, the Trail Blazers were already leading by a huge 34 points.

The poor Bucks only scored 15 points in the first quarter. The situation was slightly better in the second quarter, but they didn't score many points and only scored 20 points.

The Blazers' game was even more exciting in the second quarter, scoring a terrifying 38 points in a single quarter!

"Well done, boys!"

"What we want is this effect. If you dare to offend us pioneers, you must make them look bad!"

"Keep up the good work and strive to achieve such a point difference in the second half!"

Richard excitedly encouraged the Blazers to score a 34-point deficit at halftime. He actually didn't expect it, but now that it has come out, he must continue to work hard and break the Cavaliers' record. impossible things.
