Bishop of the Devil

Since this game is a friendly match, no outsiders are present...

The only outsider was a reporter from the Herald. They were very interested in the outcome of this game. Editor-in-chief Robert came forward and begged Richard for a long time before he got the opportunity to watch the game live.

Indiana's hottest Boilermakers face off against the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. This is undoubtedly a game that fans are very interested in.

…

After the first quarter of the game, although the Trail Blazers had a huge inside advantage, because their shooting rate was somewhat sluggish, the lead was not huge.

In twelve minutes, the lead was six points, which is really not too much...

As soon as the second quarter of the game started, the Herald reporter on the sidelines broke into a cold sweat.

Bibby, who came on the bench, teamed up with Szczerbiak and scored three three-pointers, directly tying up the difference between the two sides!

Old Philip saw it very clearly. If you want to fight a positional battle with a lineup like the Trail Blazers, it is undoubtedly an act of seeking death. The current plan is to fight for three points!

The three-pointer exploded and the game was won, which was naturally a perfect ending!

And if the three-pointer fails and the game is lost, it is not something difficult to accept.

Although the Boilermakers are the dominant players in the NCAA, losing to an NBA team is really not a shame, even if the NBA team does not play the strongest team.

By the end of the first half, the Boilermakers had taken a total of 27 three-pointers in the first half, with an excellent shooting percentage of 40%!

But unfortunately, their weak inside rebounding makes it difficult for them to get offensive rebounds, and their number of shots is much less than that of the Trail Blazers.

Richard stood on the sidelines, thinking silently in his heart.

Against the Boilermakers, he naturally wanted to see the true combat power of the new army he had formed.

As for the previous summer league games, Richard felt that the true strength of the lineup could not be seen at all...

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Boilermakers participate in the summer league, they will definitely be able to beat the standards of those summer league teams.

The summer league itself is mostly composed of rookies, and highly ranked and capable second-year players rarely participate in the summer league. In addition to the newcomers of their own team, each team's lineup will also bring some players found in the NBA. Players who are out of work, or undrafted in that season's draft...

There are even times when those strong, high-draft picks don’t play in the summer league…

One can imagine how weak their strength will be!

When the boilermakers meet them, they will definitely be defeated...

The current matchup with the Trail Blazers completely illustrates this problem. The Trail Blazers' lineup is actually the lineup they used in the summer league. They have never lost a game, and they played every game extremely easily...

But now facing the NCAA hegemon Boilermakers, the Blazers' summer league lineup is having a hard time!

When the first half of the game ended, the scores between the two sides were tied!

46:46!

Tie!

The Herald reporter was completely stunned!

Is the Boilermaker so powerful? It's actually a tie with NBA teams!

Although this NBA team is not complete, it is still an NBA team!

No wonder they can maintain consecutive championships so easily, no wonder they can keep beating other NCAA teams. It turns out that they are already so terrifyingly strong!

He is sure that when he writes about today's game into the news, it will definitely make the entire state of Indiana excited!

The Pacers are not the pride of Indiana, the Boilermakers are!

How excited these fans will be when they see that the Boilermakers can tie with the Trail Blazers!

…

During the halftime break, Richard analyzed in his mind why this situation occurred!

Although Richard knew very well that the Boilermakers were very strong, he never expected that they would be able to draw a tie with the new Blazers team he had built!

The reason for this situation, Richard analyzed, is that the Blazers' backcourt is really too weak!

The Trail Blazers backcourt with Kobe Bryant is too weak...

Trent's embarrassment was greatly used, and he was completely exposed when he came on the scene. No matter whether it was offense or defense, there was nothing outstanding about it!

Although Kobe's defense is strong, his shot selection is a bit too random. Maybe he hasn't come out of the high school league yet and didn't realize that he is now participating in an adult league.

"It seems that it is necessary to put some shackles on Kobe. If this continues, it will not be a good thing for him or the team!" Richard thought to himself.

If the Blazers' offensive firepower in the backcourt was a few points stronger, it would be difficult for the Boilermakers to reach this situation!

Moreover, this game of the Boilermakers can be regarded as a three-point explosion. After taking so many three-pointers, they can still maintain a 40% shooting rate. I am afraid that this kind of offensive efficiency can be maintained by some weak teams in the NBA. leading...

The normal strength of the Boilermakers is definitely not comparable to that of an NBA team, even if it is just a weak team...

But if the Boilermakers score three points, it's really not that difficult to defeat a weak team in the league.

…

The two sides were tied in the first half, but the second half was full of excitement at the beginning!

The Boilermakers saw the hope of defeating NBA teams, so they naturally played more unrestrainedly...

It turns out that NBA teams are not invincible!

The Blazers players were a little anxious to get angry. Although there were no outsiders at the scene, there was a reporter from the Herald. If this matter was revealed, they would be embarrassed...

Can't beat NCAA teams? Are you sure this isn't a joke?

Kobe's bad temper was born, and Billups' sarcastic words from the side directly made Kobe lose his mind.

If Ben hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid Kobe would have started a fight with Billups...

Big Ben said he was helpless. Billups and the others were all old teammates and brothers, and Kobe was a new teammate. This was definitely not something he could do. So without saying a word, Big Ben raised his arms and hugged Kobe directly. He stood up and hugged Richard...

Richard was also helpless...

Why did the friendly match turn into such an intense scene, like the finals!

"Let me go, I want to show that boy some color!"

"I can beat the shit out of him one on one!"

Kobe was a little superior, pointing at Billups and yelling...

"Quiet down, Bryant, this is just a friendly match!" Richard stood behind Kobe and said slowly.

Kobe was trembling all over. In his anger, he forgot who he was working for now...

Devil Richard!

Turning around and seeing Richard's frown, Kobe immediately shut his mouth...

"Chauncy, you kid, shut up. If you have the strength, you can go to the NBA after the draft next year!" Richard scolded Billups again.

Billups scratched his head and smiled naively at Richard...

If the two of them interfere, the friendly match will no longer be able to continue...

In fact, it's not that they can't go on, but if they go on, the Blazers will lose, and Richard will naturally be too lazy to continue playing.

Even if Billups doesn't appear on the Boilermakers' side, they still have Bibby coming on as a substitute...

As for the Trail Blazers, they do have Childress who can be used, but let alone his strength. If he comes on the court, plus Trent and the other two, the Trail Blazers' backcourt will be devastated and not even a scumbag will be left. …

"Okay, that's it for today's friendly match..." Richard waved his hand and announced the end of the match.

At this time, the score was only two points behind the Boilermakers...

"Coach, we can still play, let's keep playing, hehe..." Pierce smiled and wanted to continue the game...

"You kid, don't think I don't know what your plans are!" Richard scolded with a smile.

The reporters on the sidelines saw that the game was over and left immediately!

He's going back to write a manuscript. The Boilermakers battled the Trail Blazers, and the game was tied at halftime!
