Chapter Ninety-Six: A Friendly Match That Can't Go On
Since this match is a friendly match, there are no outsiders present......
The only outsiders were Herald reporters, who were so interested in the outcome of the game that it took a long time for the editor-in-chief, Robert, to beg Richard to get the opportunity to watch the game live.
Indiana's hottest Boilermakers team, against the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers, this is undoubtedly a game that fans will be interested in.
……
After the first quarter of the game, although the Trail Blazers had a great inside advantage, their shooting percentage was a little sluggish, so the lead was not big.
In 12 minutes, the lead was six points, which is really not too much......
The second quarter of the game, as soon as it began, made the Herald reporters on the sidelines break out in a cold sweat.
Bibby, who came off the bench, teamed up with Szzerbiak and scored three three-pointers, directly erasing the difference between the two sides!
Old Philip saw it very thoroughly, and if he wanted to fight hard with a lineup like the Trailblazers, it would undoubtedly be an act of looking for death, and now the plan is to fight for three points!
The three-point explosion and the win, naturally a perfect ending!
And if the three points don't explode, losing is not something difficult to accept.
Although the Boilermakers are the dominant players in the NCAA, there is no shame in losing to an NBA team, even if the NBA team is not the strongest.
By the end of the first half, the boilermakers had made a total of 27 three-pointers in the first half, and the shooting rate was an excellent 40%!
However, it is a pity that their weak interior rebounding makes it difficult for them to get offensive rebounds, and the number of shots is much less than that of the Trail Blazers.
Richard stood on the sidelines, silently thinking in his heart.
Playing against the boilermen, he naturally wanted to see how the real combat power of the new army he had formed was.
As for the summer league he played before, Richard felt that it didn't show the real strength of the squad at all......
It's no exaggeration to say that the Boilermakers go to the Summer League and are definitely at the level of those summer league teams.
In addition to the newcomers to their own teams, each team's lineup will bring some players who can't find a job in the NBA, or the draft of the current season......
There are even times when the strong high-pick rookies don't play in Summer League......
It is conceivable how weak their strength will be!
When the boilermaker meets them, it is definitely a situation of hanging them......
And now the situation against the Trail Blazers completely illustrates this problem, the Trail Blazers' lineup is actually their lineup that played in the summer league, never lost, and played every game extremely easily......
But now facing the NCAA overlord Boilermakers, the Trail Blazers' summer league lineup is not easy!
By the time the first half was over, the score was tied!
46:46!
Draw!
The Herald's reporters were completely stunned!
Is the boilermaker so powerful? It was a tie with an NBA team!
Although this NBA team is not complete, it is also an NBA team!
No wonder they can keep winning the championship so easily, no wonder they can keep beating other NCAA teams, it turns out that they are so terrifyingly strong!
He's sure that when he makes the news about today's game, it will definitely make the whole of Indiana boil!
Walkers aren't Indiana's pride, boilermakers are!
How excited these fans will be when they see that the Boilermakers can draw with the Trail Blazers!
……
At halftime, Richard analyzed in his heart why the current situation occurred!
Although Richard knew very well that the boilermen were very strong, he didn't expect that he would be able to tie with the new army of pioneers he had created!
The reason for this situation, Richard analyzes that the backcourt of the Trail Blazers is really too weak!
The Trail Blazers backcourt with Kobe Bryant is too weak......
Trent is embarrassed to be useful, and his appearance is completely an explosive existence, whether it is offensive or defensive, there is nothing bright to find!
Although Kobe Bryant's defense is strong, his shot choices are a little too arbitrary, and he may not have come out of the high school league yet, and he doesn't realize that he is now participating in the adult league.
"It seems that it is necessary to put a little shackle on Kobe, if it goes on like this, it will not be a good thing for him or the team!" Richard thought to himself.
If the offensive firepower of the Trail Blazers' backcourt is a few points stronger, it will be difficult for the Boilermen to play in the current situation!
Besides, the boilermakers broke out in this game, and after shooting so many three-point shots, they can still maintain a 40% shooting rate, such an offensive efficiency, I am afraid that some teams in the NBA can maintain the lead......
The normal strength of the boilermen is definitely not comparable to that of an NBA team, even if it is just a fish belly team......
But if the boilermakers have a three-pointer, it's not that hard to beat a league team.
……
The two sides were tied in the first half, and the second half was full of gunpowder just after the start of the game!
The Boilermakers saw the hope of beating the NBA team, and they naturally played more aggressively......
It turns out that NBA teams are not invincible!
The Trail Blazers players were a little anxious, and although there were no outsiders on the scene, there was also a Herald reporter, and if this thing got out, they would be very embarrassed......
Can't beat an NCAA team? Isn't this funny?
Kobe Bryant's stinky temper is innate, coupled with Billups' cold words on the side, which directly made Kobe lose his mind.
If it weren't for Big Ben to stop him, I'm afraid Kobe Bryant would have directly fought with Billups......
Big Ben said that he was very helpless, Billups and they are all old teammates, old brothers, and Kobe Bryant is a new teammate, which must not be off-frame, so Big Ben didn't say a word, raised his arms and directly hugged Kobe Bryant, and hugged Richard's side......
Richard was also helpless......
Why did the friendly match become such a fierce scene, it made it look like the finals!
"Let go of me, I'm going to give that kid a little color!"
"I'm one-on-one, I can beat him to shit!"
Kobe Bryant was a little upset, pointing at Billups and scolding him constantly......
"Quiet down, Bryant, it's just a friendly game!" Richard stood behind Bryant and spoke slowly.
Bryant was so angry that he forgot who he was playing for......
Demon Richard!
Turning his head and seeing Richard's frowning appearance, Kobe Bryant closed his mouth directly......
"Chauncey, you kid also shut up, you have this strength, and you will go to the NBA after the draft next year!" Richard reprimanded Billups again.
Billups scratched his head and laughed at Richard......
was disturbed by the two, and the friendly match couldn't go on......
In fact, it's not that they can't fight, but if they do, the Trailblazers will lose, and Richard is naturally too lazy to continue to fight.
Even if Billups doesn't play on the Boilermakers' side, they have Beebe off the bench......
On the Trail Blazers' side, there is a Childrides that can be used, but not to mention that strength, if you play, plus Trent, the Trail Blazers' backcourt will be blown up and there will be no scum left......
"Alright, that's all for today's friendly match......" Richard waved his hand and announced the end of the game.
At this time, the boilermaker was only two points behind......
"Coach, we can still play, keep playing, hehe......" Pierce grinned and tried to keep this game going......
"You kid, don't think I don't know what you're up to!" Richard scolded with a laugh.
The reporters on the sidelines saw that the game was not played, and immediately left!
He's going back to writing the manuscript, the boilermaker vs. the Trailblazers, halftime draw!
