Bishop of the Devil

Before the start of the season, Richard definitely said that he would use group therapy skills to see if Mourning or Payton could be like Pippen.

What disappointed Richard was that the result of this trigger was quite unsatisfactory. It only triggered the group healing effect on Iguodala and a cannon fodder player.

Iguodala is just a young man with no old ailments. He was quite healthy in college and did not suffer any injuries last season.

As for the other cannon fodder, even if he returns to his peak condition, he will definitely be useless.

…

Richard's original plan was to explore some loopholes, such as using this group healing skill at the end of the season when the number of players in the team was relatively small.

With a small number of people, Mourning and Payton have a higher chance of triggering their skill effects.

But when Richard exploited the loophole accurately, the system prompted that to use this group healing skill, the team must have more than thirteen players.

There is obviously no way to exploit this loophole...

…

On October 3, the Pirates’ new arena, the Charlotte Pirates Arena, officially opened its doors.

The old Charlotte Municipal Stadium was abandoned and the newly built Buccaneers Arena is now the Buccaneers' new home arena.

…

Tonight is the Buccaneers' preseason opener against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Last season, these two teams were all among the bottom three teams in the Eastern Conference. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers.

But this season, it is clear that both teams have considerable expectations.

The Bucks got Bogut and prepared to rely on the inside-outside combination of Bogut and Reid to carve out a niche in the Eastern Conference.

This combination is regarded by Milwaukee fans as a replica of the OK combination.

Of course, they must also know that the gap between the strength of this group and the genuine OK group must be quite large.

…

Jordan was in the home team's locker room.

"Boys, don't embarrass me when you confront that Australian later."

"If that guy's statistics are overwhelming tonight, even if Richard stops me, I will definitely come to settle the score with you." Jordan said fiercely to the newcomers inside.

Being frightened by Jordan, Milicic, Varejao and newcomer Gortat shrank their heads and did not dare to joke with Jordan.

The deterrent power of the old gangster Jordan is quite sufficient, especially for these new players, he is definitely a devil-like existence.

Although Richard also has the nickname of the Big Devil, his attitude towards the players in the team is still quite gentle. Generally, the players in the team can joke with Richard from time to time.

Maybe this is also the difference between Richard and Jordan. Richard is more down-to-earth than Jordan.

…

"Okay, Michael, don't scare my boys. Don't worry, the boys' performance tonight will definitely not let you down."

"You should think carefully now about what to say in the press conference later." Richard said with a smile at Jordan.

Bogut, the unlucky guy, is quite sympathetic. He was sitting at home, and misfortune came from the sky, and he was targeted by Jordan.

But Richard thought about Bogut's dirty style of play, and it seemed that Jordan's behavior seemed to be doing harm to the people.

…

People from both sides began to appear.

Tonight, Richard directly put Chris Paul in the starting position, and Granger took Pippen's starting position.

Varejao, Milicic, Iguodala, Granger plus Chris Paul.

If these five people are all at their peak, then Richard will be quite confident about winning the championship this season.

It's a pity that these people are not at their peak right now, they are all newbies...

…

The Bucks' starting lineup this season looks pretty good anyway. It's no wonder they can reach the Eastern Conference playoffs under normal circumstances.

Center Bogut, power forward Bobby Simmons, the forwards and defenders are Reed and TJ Ford, and the point guard is Maurice Williams.

Although there are no super giants among these five, their average strength is very good. Except for TJ Ford, who is almost useless, the remaining four are all All-Stars or quasi-All-Stars.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Bogut and Milicic executed a jump ball.

Varejao's athletic ability is pretty good, but compared to Milicic, it is a bit worse, so the person who performs jump balls on the Pirates is usually Milicic.

Soon, Milicic beat Bogut on a jump ball and gave the Pirates the ball for the first offensive possession.

Just the first offensive round made the fans at the scene shine.

After Chris Paul controlled the ball in the frontcourt, Milicic set up a pick-and-roll for him, and then Paul tried to attack the inside, attracting the pursuit of the defender. Bobby Simmons, who was opposite Milicic, also faced him in advance. Paul intercepted.

As a result, Paul immediately passed the ball without looking at anyone, passing the ball from behind to Milicic who had just completed the pick-and-roll and moved outside the three-point line.

Milicic received the ball from outside the three-point line, shot a three-pointer directly, and hit the net hollowly.

Richard stood up from the bench and applauded toward the court.

During the offseason, Milicic worked crazily on his three-point shooting ability.

Originally, Richard didn't have much hope, but now it gave him a big surprise.

…

In the next few offensive rounds, Milicic and Paul connected wildly. Relying on their excellent organizational skills, the offensive efficiency was quite eye-catching.

It's scary enough to have Paul with excellent passing and control skills on the court. He can pass the ball to his teammates at the most appropriate time.

And now Milicic's organizational skills are also quite good. The cooperation between the two of them has completely activated the offensive rhythm of the entire Pirates team.

This was an unexpected gain that Richard did not expect. It turned out that the rice-cannon combination worked so well.

…

The Bucks weren't far behind. Reid's offensive firepower was there and he shot accurately, and Iguodala didn't have a good way to defend.

At present, Iguodala's defense against players who use breakthroughs as their main offensive method is quite effective.

But the effect of defending Reid's golden left hand is not so ideal.

…

About four minutes into the first quarter, Bucks head coach Stotts called a timeout. It seemed that he was going to change the tactical focus on the field.

After all, it is a pre-season game, and everyone focuses on training, and the outcome of the game is only secondary.

In the first four minutes, Bogut basically had no presence on the offensive end...

On the defensive end, Varejao was a pure blue-collar man. He didn't take a single shot in four minutes, resulting in Bogut having little presence on the defensive end...

This made Stotts quite dissatisfied.

The team spent so much money to acquire Bogut, not just to use him as a vase, but to make him the core of the team.

Now the Bucks players on the field, especially the main point guard, don't take Bogut seriously at all. They don't feed Bogut when he has the opportunity to feed him. Stotts can't stand it anymore.

"Next we will focus on the inside, Morris. If you don't want to lose your hard-earned starting position, I hope you can do what you should do."

"Except for Michael, everyone else tried their best to create offensive opportunities for Andrew!"

Stotts doesn't really care about winning or losing this game, he cares about Bogut's performance.

So he directly arranged an offensive strategy focused on the inside. Except for Reid, the big boss, others reduced their own ball rights and provided the ball for Bogut.

…

The timeout ended and both teams returned to the court.

As soon as the game started, Morris took advantage of a breakthrough and passed the ball to Bogut under the basket.

As for the requirements of the head coach, a newcomer like him who has just started the starting lineup must obey unconditionally. Otherwise, his end will definitely be extremely miserable.

And Bogut did not waste such a good opportunity. He shouldered Varejao's defense under the basket and succeeded in a low single.

There was once a saying that Bogut was the most powerful among all white centers.

This statement is not supported by evidence and is not particularly reliable.

But there is no smoke without fire. Since there is such a saying, it is enough to show that Bogut is good in terms of strength.

In this offensive round, he showed his strong strength and pushed away Varejao behind him without much effort.

…

After the goal was scored, Bogut beat his chest and roared. With the success of the low single just now, his career officially started.

Jordan, who was watching the game from the sidelines, looked livid.

He felt that something was wrong. It seemed that Bogut was not the parallel import he said...

Of course, Bogut is not a parallel import, but he is not as dazzling as the top picks such as O'Neal and Duncan.

If we really talk about strength, Bogut's strength is actually better than the top pick like Kenyon Martin.

Now Jordan is rejoicing. Fortunately, he was more tactful when he spoke. Otherwise, he would have been unable to get off the stage now.

Although it was only an offensive round, Bogut's low-post singles skills and strength attributes displayed in this offensive round were enough to ensure that he was stronger than Kwame Brown...

Jordan deliberately approached Richard and reminded Richard to replace Varejao with the more experienced Mourning.

However, the next offensive round made him give up this idea.

Because Varejao started to show off his power...

In the Bucks' next offensive round, Bogut played in the low post again, but this time he fell into Varejao's trap and was directly called an offensive foul by the referee.

Varejao's strength is not as good as Bogut's, but he has a bright mind. He first uses a forward defense to force Bogut out of the reasonable collision area under the basket, and then goes around behind Bogut to block the position.

Once Bogut holds the ball and hits him in the low post, Varejao immediately flies out like a kite with its string broken.

This trick can be said to be effective every time...

At least the immature Bogut is being fooled right now.

In fact, it is easy for rookie insiders to suffer in this regard. Even ruthless players like O'Neal and Duncan faced foul trouble in their rookie seasons.

Although Varejao is also a young player, he is very slippery on the court. Against Bogut's hard-to-reach style of play, his acting skills are simply perfect.

This guy is simply a nightmare for new insiders...
