Chapter 1187 [The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heaven forgive]

On the day of the opening game, the 76ers snatched Guo Xu's limelight. They beat the Knicks 128-88 at home and scored 40 points, and the team's six players scored in double digits.

"Young coach" Brad Stevens did not let D'Angelo Russell play the starting shooting guard as predicted by the outside world, sending Will Barton from the Nuggets trade and developing outside tactics for him.

In the preseason, Patton played very little time, and people thought he was a marginal person, and the Knicks were caught off guard. In fact, Patton performed very well in training camp. Stevens regarded him as a secret weapon, and the real marginal person was Gary Harris.

Harris is only 193cm tall, and Stevens believes that he will suffer a disadvantage when playing on the defensive end. Patton is 198cm tall, and when he first entered the league physical test, he weighed only 79 kilograms, so he fell to the second round. Now his weight has increased to 86 kilograms, and his ability to confrontation has improved a lot.

Patton is very fast, can break through with the ball, is good at counterattacking, and can also catch and shoot three-pointers. Since he is against Kobe, successful breakthroughs are even more eye-catching, making fans amazed.

Patton played for 30 minutes, made 7 of 12 shots, made 2 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

What is even more surprising is that the 76ers second-year center Nikola Jokic. He played for 33 minutes, made 10 of 20 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, scored 24 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and beat Porzingis hard.

Porzinski also played for 33 minutes, making 5 of 13 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 6 free throws, scoring 16 points and 7 rebounds, without assists.

Stevens arranged tactics with Jokic as the core. He first played pick-and-roll attack, then supported the inside, constantly creating opportunities for his teammates on the outside. He looked like Gasol Jr. and Horford.

The other players of the 76ers scored more average, and Walker, Jaylen Brown, Nene, Garlinari, and Russell also performed well. The 76ers, who selflessly shared the ball rights, had an overall shooting percentage of 49.3%.

On the other hand, the Knicks was a tragedy. Except for Ross and Porzingis playing pick-and-roll, the players fought from beginning to end.

Anthony made 8 of 18 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, which was the highest in the team.

Kobe made 4 of 16 shots, 0 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 10 points and 3 rebounds, and had no assists.

Kobe is so cool, with a 25% shooting percentage, the second most shot in the team. He wanted to break Carl Malone's total scoring record in the first game, but unfortunately he failed.

Recently, the Knicks' locker room has become a prison again, and the core people dislike each other. If they don't trade in the medium term, they have to torture each other for a season. Porzinski is the only person who looks promising, but there won't be a lot of ball rights this season.

Moreover, Porzingis has shortcomings. He is not like Horford and Jokic, who is supporting inside, and has basically only one option to shoot after pick-and-roll, and his tactical role is average. Even if he has the ball, his development prospects are only higher. Aldridge, who can shoot three-pointers, is not suitable to be the first core of the team.

If it was just a big victory, the 76ers would not be able to steal Guo Xu's limelight, and the interviews of the players at the post-match press conference attracted more attention.

Russell criticized Kobe after the game. "The 76ers have always been very strong. Everyone performed well in training, but Kobe ruined all this. As long as he appeared, we would not be able to win. Now it's the Knicks' turn that the players have endured all this, and we can finally win. Without him, we are much more free."

The reporter asked: "Did you say Kobe is a cancer?"

"I think he is probably one of the most poisonous players in NBA history, and his record can prove it all. I can't believe that the Lakers would let Jason Guo and O'Neal go for him that year."

Russell paused for a moment and said excitedly: "As long as I make a mistake or miss the shot, he will feel that this is an unforgivable thing, as if I am a waste. But no matter how many goals he misses, it seems to be a matter of course. I think any player with the ability to take the ball and attack will not be worse than Kobe. His total score is exchanged for terrifying shots, and he misses more."

Although Russell is only a second-year rookie, he is very brave to speak. It is not good for him to criticize Kobe, but he is such a straightforward person, with both emotional intelligence and IQ, and he doesn't know what to say and what not to say.

In parallel world, Russell joined the Lakers and did something stupid.

He deliberately chatted with Nick Young, asking Yang to admit the fact that he cheated without any warning. Russell had filmed this video privately, and the video was then posted on the Internet. Once the video was released, it caused an uproar. Yang's fiancée, Iggy, also responded to the incident on his personal social media and expressed his gratitude to Russell for providing him with such evidence.

This video caused a relationship crisis between Nick Young and his fiancée. The grand wedding that was originally planned by both sides was cancelled and eventually broke up. Although Russell later publicly apologized to the whole team and Young through the media, his inferior behavior aroused extreme dissatisfaction among many fans and Lakers players.

Later, no one was willing to interact with Russell in the Lakers locker room, and Lakers fans even booed him in the game. One season later, he was traded to the Nets.

Now that Nick Young escaped the disaster in the Timberwolves and married his girlfriend successfully, Russell still has a way to be stupid in the 76ers. He believes that blaming Kobe in this way can increase his popularity and attention, and looks very personal, just like Kobe yelled Malone to let him get out of the way in the 1998 Star Game.

This is simply disrespectful to seniors. This is simply - the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heaven spare?

Kobe was not willing to be outdone and fought back at the press conference. "He is just a fool. He doesn't have the ability to fight well and blames all this on me. Even if there are no veterans in the 76ers, I don't think he can become an All-Star. He is like a spoiled child, and he is seriously overrated as the second place."

Unfortunately, after the game, most people supported Russell online, and Kobe was at the bottom of the game, which had long lost all his character.

Russell was overrated? When Kobe was at the Warriors, Curry was overrated! Some fans said that Kobe could only help the inside and never played data for outside players.

Some people also mentioned that Kobe has always been very bad at teammates. This is not the first time he has been criticized. He will have conflicts with his teammates whenever he goes to a place. He even discriminates against his teammates and always likes to pick on his teammates’ faults.

Kobe once said: "Smarsh Parker is the worst player in the world. He shouldn't be in the NBA. We are too poor to afford the defender. We should let him get out."

Kobe also criticized O'Neal: "He's too lazy. I'm really crazy when I see him like that! I like players who are passionate about training. I used to train for six or seven hours a day. And people like him who only train for half an hour, I can't help but say a few words!"

Facing someone better than him, he always couldn't help but say a few words. O'Neal didn't hit him but had a good temper.

As for Dwight Howard, it is common for the two to quarrel on the Internet, and Howard is watching Kobe's joke.
