Bishop of the Devil

With Rondo leaving in the new season, Antetokounmpo was naturally put into the starting lineup by Richard, and he still played the No. 1 position.

In fact, apart from Antetokounmpo, Richard currently has no good candidates for the starting No. 1 position.

McCollum can play the No. 1 position, but he is not suitable for the starting position. He is more suitable as a substitute for Antetokounmpo and Thompson.

In this way, Richard's starting lineup is Gobert, Green, Leonard, Thompson and Antetokounmpo.

After a season of training, Antetokounmpo's shooting skills have improved slightly, but the improvement is not significant. Because Richard limits his scoring methods to hit the inside, Antetokounmpo's current scoring average is not high.

But even so, fans and experts from all walks of life can see an amazing potential in this big player.

With such a terrifying height, Richard was assigned to the No. 1 position. The key is that apart from not scoring too much, he is remarkable in other aspects and cannot find any major faults.

Now Antetokounmpo has become the tallest point guard in NBA history. Think about it, Sun Yue was able to play a good offensive efficiency in the first position with his height. Antetokounmpo is taller than Sun Yue and has all aspects of physical fitness. Better than Sun Yue, what a terrifying player he would be if he could make baskets!

The most terrifying thing is that this player's learning ability is quite terrifying. In the first half of last season, he was not outstanding, but in the second half, he transformed into a big man, Rondo, and his rebound and assist data kept rising.

What many fans don't notice is that the taller you are, the more advantageous you are for passing the ball, because taller heights give you better passing vision.

But why are most point guards small players? That's because the small man is fast and has a low center of gravity when dribbling, so he is less likely to lose the ball and make mistakes.

If there is a big player with both speed and ball control, then this player is actually a good material for playing point guard, because he is born with a much better passing vision than a short point guard.

Obviously Antetokounmpo is such a player...

Under normal circumstances, Kidd, the old monster among point guards, knew this very well, because he was actually a tall point guard in that era, so he put Antetokounmpo in the same position without saying anything. At the No. 1 position, he unexpectedly had a miraculous effect, directly making Antetokounmpo one of the league's first-tier stars.

Now Richard lets Antetokounmpo play point guard, which is actually just a trick. If Kidd hadn't opened the way, I'm afraid even if Richard got Antetokounmpo in the draft, he would probably be placed at the fourth position, or even It's not impossible to put him in the fifth position.

Because under normal circumstances, who can understand the true meaning of a point guard as deeply as Kidd? Who would have thought that this big man Antetokounmpo could actually play point guard.

Anyway, Richard would not have thought of it.

If this is the case, Antetokounmpo may be completely defeated by Richard...

…

The Clippers' starting five started with a frightening record.

The Spurs, who are also powerful in the Western Conference, have also started to rise after pretending to be dead in the previous two seasons.

Two months before the start of the game, both teams had a winning rate of over 80%, which is really amazing.

In the Christmas game at the end of December, Xiao Hua unexpectedly did something special this time.

According to tradition, the Christmas war is a showdown between the top powers in the East and West, but this time Xiao Hua made the Christmas war between the top powers in the division.

Here in the East, the Cavaliers face the Pistons.

In the West, the Clippers face the Spurs.

The reason why there is no Hornets in this Christmas game is because the Hornets are having a really difficult time right now.

Durant was injured in the finals of last season, which almost ended the season. At least he has not been able to return yet.

The Hornets' current record is only fifth in the Eastern Conference. It seems that the Hornets have not suffered such a bad start for many years.

Needless to say, the years when Richard was there, but after Richard left, the Hornets actually ranked first in the Eastern Conference record list every year...

Now that they are only ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, one can imagine the pressure on Jordan.

But he had no choice. At that time, he could only choose to renew the contract with Durant, who was out for the season, because several times throughout the league, the number of players who were stronger than Durant could not exceed the number of slaps.

With Durant, they still have hope of winning the championship. If they don't renew Durant's contract and just sign another star, Jordan knows that the Hornets will be completely ruined and will have no chance of a championship.

…

The Big Three of the Cavaliers easily defeated the Pistons in the Christmas Day game, announcing to the entire league that they are now a dominant team in the Eastern Conference.

There were no surprises in the Christmas Day battle in the West, with the Clippers winning against the Spurs.

It's just that Richard's victory was quite unpleasant, because Duncan did not play in this game, and the Spurs used Capela to replace Duncan.

It can be seen that Popovich's training of Capela is quite effective. Although Capela's performance in this game was suppressed by Gobert, it was not to the point of being exploded.

Although he won against the Spurs, Richard always felt unmotivated and the victory was not fun enough.

If Duncan is not on the court, winning won't mean anything.

As long as Duncan is in this league, Richard will never look down on Duncan, even if his hair is already showing signs of graying.

…

In mid-February, Richard finally got his wish and got the qualification to lead the All-Star team.

This time Richard used some tricks to make Leonard win the All-Star MVP. What disappointed Richard was that in the end the system did not give any hints about new suits, and Richard only gained some celebrity points. Just a reward.

Richard sighed. If there is no new suit, it will be gone. This is a good thing for himself.

Thinking about the previous super suit, I entered the league in 1996 and didn’t finish it until 2014, which took a full eighteen years!

And if a new suit appears this time, with Richard's collecting habit, he will definitely have to collect it as much as possible, which will probably take Richard countless years.

And Richard has already made plans to retire at the age of 60. He doesn't want to wait until he is 70 or 80 years old to still worry about raising sets.

Richard was relieved that no new suits appeared. Maybe he himself didn't want new suits to appear.

I just feel a little sorry for Li Jin, but if I really want to say that a bowl of water is fair, in fact, Richard's contribution to Li Jin is not small.

The value of the height-increasing potion alone is extremely huge. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a tool that can change one's destiny.

Apart from anything else, if this height-increasing medicine is used for Thomas, then Thomas may really become the strongest star in the league.

Now Richard not only used the height-increasing potion for Li Jin, but also prepared a big gift package for Li Jin.

Li Jin’s gains are no less than Li Bit’s.
