Bishop of the Devil

Chapter 24: Getting past Iverson

The reason why the players on the court were so surprised by Da Zhi playing point guard is because a seven-foot point guard has never appeared in the history of players.

As the tallest point guard in history, Magic Johnson is only 206 centimeters tall, which is still a long way from 213 centimeters!

And the reason why this happens is because tall point guards have a natural disadvantage!

First of all, he is not as flexible as a small point guard and has slow speed. If the opponent implements a full-court pressing tactic against him, it will be difficult to break through the opponent's defense!

Secondly, because of his height, the center of gravity of dribbling is too high. During the dribbling process, it is very easy to be intercepted by those flexible point guards!

There is no doubt that Iverson is a representative figure among flexible point guards!

Although Iverson's defense is not very good, his steal data is outstanding, and he has won the honor of being the steal leader in his career. When he faced such a tall point guard, he made gambling steals, and the effect was pretty good!

Richard can already foresee the next scene...

Dazhi controlled the ball and pushed forward. Iverson stole the ball in a gambling style, and then quickly pushed the fast break. Dazhi could only watch Iverson layup.

But the scene that happened next was jaw-dropping...

Iverson was seen rushing towards Da Zhi at high speed. This must be a prelude to a gambling steal, but Da Zhi did not slow down. He dribbled the ball directly behind his back, and then used his huge body to squeeze away Iverson. Ferson, keep pushing the ball!

"What?! Passed Iverson?!"

"God, is this really a seven-footer?! He can dribble behind his back?!"

"Are all Chinese players so skilled?!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!"

After Dazhi passed Iverson, he advanced beyond the three-point line and took a three-point shot!

I'm pretty lucky, I hit the three-pointer steadily!

"Wow..." applause broke out from all over the field!

This wave of tricks performed by Dazhi was really amazing. Even Richard was shocked. He didn't expect Dazhi's basic skills to be so good...

Standing seven feet tall, dribbling past Iverson behind his back is a bit fantasy no matter how you look at it.

Of course, everyone knows that Iverson must have underestimated the enemy. Just now, Iverson had better defensive options, such as blocking Da Zhi's forward route, instead of stepping forward to gamble and steal.

But even so, being able to see a seven-foot-long man doing tricks with his own eyes is definitely worthy of the applause.

Not to mention that Da Zhi hit a three-pointer after passing someone!

Richard nodded repeatedly as he watched from the sidelines. Da Zhi's performance was actually a bit beyond Richard's expectations. He originally knew that Da Zhi might be the most skilled big player in the country, but he didn't expect to be so good. !

In front of Da Zhi, Da Ben's skills were as rough as a rag covered in mud...

In fact, not only Dazhi, but also Yao Ming's basic skills are quite good. Among the three Great Walls, Battelle's skills are the roughest, but they are far better than Ben...

As the game continued, Big Ben had a smile on his face. He was now sure that Richard was not joking when he said Big Zhi played as a swingman!

"Li, this kid is really a good prospect. Although he is the same height as Miller, his speed is much faster than Miller. And looking at his age, it seems that seven feet is not his limit!" Standing there! Old Philip next to Richard was full of surprise.

In fact, Philip Sr. has more affection for the Boilermakers than Richard. He was originally worried about where to find someone to replace Barry's outside firepower when he went to the draft after this season.

Now it seems that the newly arrived Chinese big man is definitely the best candidate!

"Yes, Philip, his height will be almost 216 centimeters in the future!" Richard nodded and said with a smile.

"This is a real good prospect, Li. I can't understand you more and more. Your vision is too vicious!" Philip praised sincerely.

Richard smiled and waved his hand. He was a time traveler. It would be strange if he could be easily understood by others.

"Philip, have you ever thought about trying the NBA?" Richard asked with interest.

The reason why I ask this question is mainly because Richard feels that he needs to start forming a coaching staff of his own. You must know that most of the coaching staff in the NBA are brought by the head coach...

If Richard really joins the NBA then, it would be really ugly if he is the only one in charge.

But what Richard didn't expect was that old Philip waved his hand quickly.

"Li, are you kidding me? How could I have such an idea at my age? I have been working at Boilermaker for more than 20 years. Unless the school expelled me, I would never Leaving the Boilermaker..."

"Li, you won't..."

As people grow older, old Philip looked at Richard strangely. He could sense what Richard meant, but just like Iverson, he also couldn't figure out why Richard had such an idea...

"Well done!" The shouts on the court interrupted the chat between the two.

This loud shouting, who else could it be but Da Ben...

Richard looked intently at the court. Da Zhi might have hit another three-pointer just now, which caused Da Zhi to cheer loudly!

Speaking of which, the game on the court lasted for about fifteen minutes. Da Zhi's performance cannot be said to be too outstanding. On the defensive end, when guarding against Iverson, his speed was too slow and he could not guard him at all. He was beaten by Iverson's various single moves. Eat, the scene is terrible...

Even when defending Barry, he still suffers greatly in terms of speed, especially in terms of lateral movement speed. This is a problem that every big player will face!

In addition, as a seven-foot player, Da Zhi only recorded one rebound after playing for such a long time, which is really unjustifiable.

Of course, Richard himself didn't want to lead Da Zhi to the inside. His goal was to turn Da Zhi into a player like Nowitzki!

Maybe even more extreme than Nowitzki!

On the offensive end, Da Zhi's performance was remarkable. He hit two of his five three-pointers from the outside, which was pretty good.

Although the overall performance is not as good as Ben and Iverson, it is still better than players like Green.

After another five minutes of play, Da Zhi hit another three-pointer, and the team training match was over.

"How's it going? Dazhi, how do you feel?" Seeing Dazhi sweating on his forehead, Richard couldn't help but stepped forward to ask.

Dazhi nodded, "Uncle Li, they are really too strong. I'm afraid I will disappoint you..."

He was a little nervous. At home, he was truly the pride of heaven, beating the invincible players of his age, but after arriving here, he had no advantage on the court and seemed a bit mediocre...

"Silly boy, what are you talking about? You have to know that the players under your Uncle Li are all the strongest in the United States. It is already quite good for you to be able to play like this, and they are all older than you. You If you train hard for a year, you will definitely not be worse than them!" Richard patted Dazhi on the shoulder and said with a smile.

These words made Da Zhi relax a little...
