Richard naturally didn't want to damage the reputation of Big Ben and Kobe Bryant because of the god-making mission.

For these two young stars, a good name is still quite important.

So Richard put Nowitzki and the old cat Mobley in this game, in order not to let the game go into garbage time too quickly......

……

The Nuggets' lineup, in Richard's opinion, is really useless and not worth mentioning.

Although this team is being coached by the offensive master D'Antoni, D'Antoni is just a newcomer who has just stepped into the position of head coach, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice, and there are no too bright stars in the Nuggets team.

It may be that seeing that the Suns' two-point guard lineup achieved good results last season, D'Antoni also used a two-point guard lineup in the Nuggets.

Under normal circumstances, D'Antoni uses Billups plus the Lakers' Fan Maniac, the two of them act as the starting double point guards, and the frontcourt is McDace, who has a contract extension after pitting the Suns.

It's just that because of Richard, Billups didn't do that ridiculous thing, so he wasn't traded by Green Kai at the moment, and the Nuggets' current two-point guard starters are Fan Maniac and Kenny Anderson.

A fan maniac, a Kenny Anderson, and a McDyce in the frontcourt.

If Richard wants to beat the Nuggets, it won't be too easy......

McDyes's in the front court, Big Ben is quite easy to clean up, the number of times the two have played against each other is no less than ten times, McDice may have been beaten out of the shadow by Big Ben now, and every time he encounters Big Ben, his state has declined quite seriously.

As for Fan Maniac and Kenny Anderson, this one is better to clean up, and Richard sent a backcourt combination of Kobe Bryant and Bowen, which can definitely arrange these two clearly......

That is, at the moment, Richard needs to complete the god-making task and doesn't want the game to go into garbage time too quickly, otherwise, Richard is very sure that the Nuggets will explode if they can't hold out for three quarters under the hands of their Trail Blazers.

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.

After Xiao Ao got the ball in the first offensive round for the Trail Blazers, he teamed up with Big Ben and went straight to the Nuggets' paint area......

Kobe Bryant controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, and after the ball reached the front court, Bryant was defended by Fan Maniac, and he leaned back to shoot without saying a word.

"Huh!" The basketball is a wonderful parabola, perfectly drilled into the basket.

The current Fan Maniac really can't prevent Kobe, let alone the current Kobe, Kobe Bryant in the second half of last season is not comparable to Fan Maniac.

The lineup put out by the Nuggets, because of the dual point guards, the rhythm of the game is naturally good, but it is precisely because of the dual point guards that their backcourt defense has become a big problem.

Whether it's Fan Maniac or Kenny Anderson, these two are not tall and defensive point guards like Kidd, nor are they Hall of Fame-level offensive point guards like Kevin Johnson......

If these two want to play the same game effect as the Sun, it is obviously a little whimsical.

But D'Antoni can't help it, he just has such a small amount of things at hand, what else can he do, he can only make do with it first.

In just a few minutes of the opening game, Kobe Bryant had already scored 10 points strongly, and his shooting percentage remained high, and his shooting percentage of 5 of 7 was far higher than Richard's requirements for him.

Kobe Bryant is not a fool, since Richard has given him a problem, then he will naturally choose his own way of shooting according to the situation......

Asking for a hit rate? That's definitely not going to be a three-point game......

Then hit the shot and break through, which is the safest way to maintain the hit rate.

In fact, Kobe Bryant was originally going to make a breakthrough tonight, because if he focused on breaking through, the Trail Blazers had an Auburn combination on the inside to help Kobe get in the position, and his breakthrough efficiency would definitely be scary.

But he also knows very well that Big Ben needs to brush up on rebounds, and he got all the balls himself, and Big Ben also brushes up on rebounds.

If Richard knew Kobe's thoughts, it is estimated that he would be able to vomit blood, so don't be humble at this time, isn't it good to honestly overfulfill the task......

……

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle, and to the surprise of the Nuggets home fans, it was Richard who called a timeout......

Is Richard crazy? They started with an absolute lead, why call a timeout at this time?!

Does he feel that this kind of lead is not enough at the moment, and seeks a bigger lead?!

When they saw the Trail Blazers players back on the court, Nuggets fans were even more puzzled......

Kobe, who was a little invincible in the opening game, was directly pressed on the bench by Richard.

……

D'Antoni was also dumbfounded, what kind of operation is this?

Could it be that Richard wants to take care of himself as a rookie head coach?

……

Kobe, who was invincible, was replaced off the court and replaced with Harrington.

With this kind of lineup, it must be the old cat who is playing point guard......

Richard is definitely not crazy, Kobe's hand is too hot, it's not a good thing.

If you continue to play at this pace, it is estimated that the Nuggets will collapse in half a game, so you still have a lot of data......

So Richard must replace Kobe Bryant with a rookie to give the Nuggets a chance to fight back, and strive for the two sides not to be pulled away too much.

Besides, Kobe Bryant has such a hot hand, and he didn't get much rebounding, after all, if there is less iron, there will naturally be fewer rebounds.

……

As soon as Harrington came on the court, the effect was immediate, and D'Antoni seized the opportunity to give the Nuggets a small climax in the backcourt.

The five people selected in this wave of drafts.

Pragues' defense is almost at the level of a blank sheet of paper, that is, it can't even defend against a blank sheet of paper......

Lewis is almost at the chair level, meaning he can't even guard the chair on the opponent's bench......

As for Harrington and Nowitzki, the defense is about the same level, which is at the edge level, and they can also prevent the edge players on the opponent's bench, such as the Water Cooler Guardians......

Mobley is a strong point, but it is also the level of defending the main bench.

Of course, this is the current level of these newcomers, and they will definitely improve in the future, but even if they improve, their defensive potential is there, and they are unlikely to become DPOY-level figures.

……

Big Ben is playing very comfortably now, quite comfortable, the opponent is an old acquaintance McDyce, and Xiao Ao actively helps him get in the position, and the rebounding rate is quite high.

By the end of the first quarter, Big Ben had already scored 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Of those seven rebounds, there were three offensive rebounds!

Richard is naturally quite satisfied, judging from the current situation, it is easy for Big Ben to cut 20 rebounds and 4 blocks in this game.
