Chapter 1187 [Heavenly Dao is a good reincarnation, who will the heavens spare]
On the opening day, the 76ers stole the limelight from Guo Xu, and they defeated the Knicks 128-88 at home by 40 points, and all six players on the team scored double-doubles.
"Teen" Brad Stevens didn't let D'Angelo Russell play starting point guard as predicted, but sent Will Barton, who was traded from the Nuggets, and laid out an outside strategy for him.
In the preseason, Barton played very little time, people thought he was a fringe man, and the Knicks were caught off guard. In fact, Barton performed very well in training camp, Stevens used him as a secret weapon, and the real fringe man was Gary Harris.
Harris is only 193cm tall, and Stevens thinks he will suffer on the defensive end. Barton is 198cm tall and weighed only 79 kilograms when he first entered the league, so he fell to the second round, and now he has increased his weight to 86 kilograms, and his confrontation ability has improved a lot.
Barton is very fast, can break through with the ball, is good at counter-attacking, and can also catch the ball and shoot threes. Since he was playing Kobe Bryant, the successful breakthroughs again and again attracted more attention and made the fans amaze.
Barton played 30 minutes and finished with 22 points, five rebounds and two assists on 7-of-12 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 6-of-6 free throws.
Even more surprising is 76ers second-year center Nikola Jokic. He played 33 minutes, shooting 10-of-20, 2-of-5 three-pointers, 2-of-3 free throws, and scored 24 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.
Porzinski also played 33 minutes, shooting 5-of-13, 3-of-5 from three-point range and 3-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 16 points, seven rebounds and no assists.
Stevens uses Jokic as the core of the strategy, he first plays the pick-and-roll offense, and then responds inside, constantly helping his outside teammates create opportunities. He looks like Gasol Jr. and Horford this time.
The rest of the 76ers scored relatively evenly, with Walker, Jaylen Brown, Nene, Gallinari, and Russell also playing well. The 76ers, who selflessly shared the ball, shot 49.3 percent from the field.
On the other hand, it was a tragedy for the Knicks, except for Rose and Porzingis who played block-and-roll, and the players fought separately from start to finish.
Anthony shot 8-of-18, 1-of-4 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with a team-high 19 points, five rebounds and three assists.
Bryant shot 4-of-16, 0-of-6 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 10 points and three rebounds and no assists.
Kobe Bryant is so cool, with a 25% shooting percentage and the second-most shots on the team. He wanted to break Karl Malone's total scoring record in the first game, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Recently, the Knicks' locker room has become a prison again, and the core has a hard time looking at each other, and if they don't trade in the middle of the season, they will have to torture each other for a season. Porzinski is the only one who looks promising and won't have a lot of ball possession this season.
And Porzingis has shortcomings, he is not like Horford and Jokic, who basically only have one option to shoot after blocking and dismantling, and the tactical role is average. Even if he has the ball, his development prospects are only higher, and Aldridge, who can shoot three-pointers, is not suitable to be the first core of the team.
If it is just a big win, the 76ers will not be able to steal Guo Xu's limelight, and the interviews of the players at the post-game press conference are even more interesting.
Russell squirted Kobe Bryant after the game. "The 76ers have always been very strong, everybody has been doing well in practice, but Kobe has ruined it all and we can't win as long as he's out there. Now it's the Knicks' turn to take it all in, and we can finally go and win, and we're a lot freer without him. ”
The reporter asked: "Are you saying Kobe Bryant is a cancer?" ”
"I think he's probably one of the most toxic players in NBA history, and his record speaks for itself. I can't believe the Lakers would let go of Jason Guo and O'Neal for him back then. ”
Russell paused for a moment and said excitedly, "Whenever I make a mistake or miss a shot, he will feel that it is an unforgivable thing, as if I am a piece of waste." But no matter how many goals he misses, he seems to take it for granted. I don't think any player with the offensive ability with the ball can shoot so many balls and the stats will be no worse than Kobe's, and his total points are the result of horrible shots, and he concedes more balls. ”
Although Russell is only a second-year rookie, he is especially daring to speak. Squirting Kobe Bryant doesn't do him any good, but he is such an upright person, with low EQ and IQ, and he doesn't know what to say and what not to say.
In the parallel world, Russell joined the Lakers and did something stupid.
He deliberately chats with Nick Young to get Yang to admit the fact that he is cheating without any warning. Russell had already filmed a video of this in private, and the video was later posted on the Internet. The video caused an uproar when it was released, and Young's fiancée, Iggy, also responded to the incident on her personal social media and expressed her gratitude to Russell for providing such evidence for herself.
This video caused Nick Young and his fiancée to have a relationship crisis, and the long-planned grand wedding between the two parties was canceled and finally broke up. Although Russell later made a public apology to the entire team and Young through the media, his poor behavior caused extreme displeasure among many fans and Lakers players.
After that, no one in the Lakers' locker room wanted to associate with Russell, and Lakers fans booed him in the game, and he was traded to the Nets one season later.
Now that Nick Young has escaped a catastrophe with the Timberwolves and married his girlfriend, Russell still has a way to make a fool of himself with the 76ers. He thinks that spraying Kobe Bryant like this can increase his popularity and attention, and he looks very personal, just like Kobe Bryant yelled at Malone at the 1998 All-Star Game to get him out.
This is simply disrespectful to the predecessors, this is simply - the way of heaven is good reincarnation, who is forgiven by the sky.
Not to be outdone, Kobe Bryant fired back at the press conference. "He's just an idiot, and he blames me for not being able to fight. Even if the 76ers don't have a veteran in the future, I don't think he can be an All-Star, he is like a spoiled child, and being a list is seriously overrated. ”
It's a pity that after the game, there were many people who supported Russell on the Internet, and Kobe Bryant was at the bottom, and his character was already ruined.
Russell is overrated? When Kobe Bryant was with the Warriors, Curry was overrated! Some fans said that Kobe Bryant could only help the inside line, and he had never helped the outside player play statistics.
Someone also mentioned that Kobe Bryant has always been very bad to his teammates, and it is not the first time he has been sprayed, and he will have conflicts with his teammates everywhere he goes. He even discriminates against his teammates and always likes to find fault with them.
Kobe Bryant once said, "Smush Parker is the worst player in the world, he shouldn't be in the NBA, we're too poor to afford a guard, we should let him fuck off." ”
Kobe Bryant also sprayed O'Neal: "He's so lazy, I'm going crazy to see him like that!" I like players who are keen to train, I used to train six or seven hours a day. And his kind of person who only trains for half an hour, I can't help but say a few words! ”
In the face of people who are better than himself, he always can't help but say a few words, O'Neill is good-tempered if he doesn't hit him.
As for Dwight Howard, it's common for the two to scold each other on the Nets, and Howard is looking at Kobe Bryant's jokes.
Now fans are most curious about whether Kobe Bryant dares to scold Anthony? After all, a lot of news reports say that Anthony is a real mob boss. If they quarrel, it will definitely be the most dangerous and crazy challenge in Kobe's career...... Wonderful!
