Bishop of the Devil

In addition to Yao Ming's strong performance, the players on the Pistons tonight performed well whenever they appeared on the court.

The main reason is that the Warriors players were unable to organize any effective resistance, so the Pistons players played quite easily.

Even Hu Weidong scored 11 points tonight.

Both Okur and Arenas performed quite well tonight.

Arenas played 30 minutes and directly scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, which was a big surprise to Pistons fans.

Previously, Arenas had no sense of presence in the Pistons.

Although he is the team's chief backup point guard, compared to Nash, it is really impossible to watch.

But tonight, when he was given enough playing time, he actually produced some pretty amazing statistics. It can be clearly seen that this guy is a malleable talent.

If Richard trains him well, this rookie will definitely achieve good results.

As for Okur, he actually started to stand out last season.

Last season, before Clark returned, Okur was the team's absolute starting center and got a lot of playing time.

He averaged 13.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 36%.

For a second-round pick to produce such rookie statistics is already quite astonishing.

And this season, with the arrival of Yao Ming, Okur has not been able to get much playing time. After being suddenly promoted by Richard tonight, he got 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. In fact, he can only It's a routine operation.

…

After watching this live broadcast, domestic fans were as happy as celebrating the New Year.

With such terrifying statistics, Yao Ming has directly joined the ranks of the league's first-line insiders.

In the previous five games, Yao Ming's statistics were all 20+10. Tonight's statistics of 40+15+5+5 are even more incredible.

In addition, Hu Weidong also played his best performance since entering the NBA tonight, scoring in double figures!

Domestic fans are really excited. It is already the end of 2002, and it is not long before the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Right now, Yao Ming and Dazhi have become the top players in the league. In other words, these two are already one of the top players on the planet.

And Hu Weidong is also a young man who has scored in double figures in the NBA.

As for Battle, although he has not been doing well, at least he has found his own presence in the 76ers.

When the opponent's lineup has top violent insiders, Battle can play a role...

Anyway, Battelle's contract is very cheap, and there is no need for the Philadelphia 76ers to lay off Battelle.

The lineup of these four people, with Richard personally saying that he will coach this Olympics, will definitely achieve a surprising result.

Countless fans are beginning to look forward to the early arrival of 2004, when Chinese basketball will become a blockbuster.

…

Richard finally figured out the matter of four pairs, this is fate!

I have no choice but to wait and see if there is another chance to get a quadruple pair...

However, Richard didn't show much hope. It was really too difficult.

Now that he had figured it out, Richard felt much better. He hummed a tune and took Yao Ming and Okur to tonight's press conference.

"Play the drum hard and play the gong slowly"

"Listen to gongs, drums and sing"

"Every idle talk also sings"

"Listen to me singing 18M"

…

Humming a minor tune, Richard was in good spirits.

It's a bloodbath at Oracle Arena. This is a deterrent to see if those brats dare to rebel in the future.

Even though Richard said he would let Williams go if he asked him to write a 10,000-word self-criticism, if Williams really wrote a 10,000-word self-criticism, Richard might not necessarily let this kid go.

Just pick something wrong, the number of words is not enough, the emotion is not deep enough, the apology is not sincere enough, there are typos...

If there is a bloodbath, there must still be a bloodbath.

It is impossible for Richard, who is determined to retaliate, to let Williams go.

That is to say, Musselman doesn't understand Richard. Those coaches who have dealt with Richard would not think of asking their players to write reviews.

If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother...

If Richard wants to mess with you, then he can only wash his butt and wait, don't think too much.

…

Yao Ming followed Richard, and he was dumbfounded. His mouth was open so much that he could put his fist in!

If I heard it right, Richard hummed the national minor tune 18M? !

Good guy, this is a fake foreign devil, he even knows this? !

and……

He sang it so well that even Yao Ming couldn't sing this kind of thing. He only thought of this ditty when he heard the three words "Eighteen M".

Just listening to the first few sentences, I thought Richard was singing a Yunnan folk song.

When Yao Ming had a phone call with Richard for the first time, he was shocked by Richard's Mandarin.

In his opinion, the Mandarin spoken by Richard, a foreign devil, might be more standard than his own.

Yao Ming really thought it wrong. In terms of standard Mandarin, Richard might actually have a better standard than him...

In his previous life, Richard's hometown was north of the Huaihe River, and he belonged to the north.

As for Yao Ming, he is from Shanghai and is a typical southerner.

"Coach, cough, what are you singing?" Yao Ming coughed slightly and asked awkwardly.

"Kid, don't ask so many questions..." Richard rolled his eyes and did not answer Yao Ming's question.

…

After the three people entered the venue, the reporters cheered up.

Many reporters are actually not local reporters in Oakland, and some come from Los Angeles or surrounding cities.

They were like sharks that smelled blood and had been waiting for the start of tonight's game.

Before the game started, Richard said he wanted to bloodbath Oracle...

So regardless of whether Richard succeeds in the bloodbath of Oracle Arena in the end, reporters like them will definitely have first-hand material that can make headlines.

Tonight, Richard obviously succeeded in the bloodbath, with a terrifying score difference of 57 points.

Not only that, Yao Ming played a historical level of super data tonight!

And Jay Williams, who has been cheering for him, scored zero points tonight.

It can be said that Richard completely pushed the Warriors and Williams to the ground tonight and rubbed them.

"Look, what am I talking about? Anyone who doesn't respect the elderly will have a bad end!" As soon as Richard sat down, he said to the reporters in the audience with a smile on his face.

"When it comes to the bloodbath of Oracle, then it must be a bloodbath!"

"Here, let me see which team is coming next."

After that, Richard took out the "infamous" list from his suit lining pocket.

Richard's list.

The reporters are going crazy. Richard hates these young players so much that he actually carries the list with him.

"Oh, Casey Jacobson of the Suns..."

"Yes, Jacobson of the Suns, I, Richard, am here to solemnly inform you that after I arrive in Phoenix, I will hand in a 10,000-word self-reflection letter, not even one word less!"

"If you miss one word, I will bloodbath your Phoenix Suns!"

The reporters in the audience felt numb after hearing this. They were glad that they were not NBA players and that they were not on Richard's list.

The Suns are not weaklings like the Warriors. They are a strong team in the Western Conference. Although Kidd is gone now, they can still reach the playoffs due to the depth of their lineup.

It’s unlikely that the Pistons will bleed the Suns like they did the Warriors...

However, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of being missed.

If Richard is interested in him, that won't be a good thing...

…

"Don't take any chances, Jacobson, you are already on my Richard's list!"

"I have always carried this list with me. Don't think that I have forgotten it. If we don't see the complaint, we will just wait and see!"

"I can annihilate the Warriors, shut down Jay Williams, and deal with Jacobson. It's just like playing, so don't take any chances!"

"For the sake of your own future, write me a review honestly!"

"Today, I, Richard, am willing to use my own efforts to change the atmosphere of the alliance. Respecting the old and loving the old is what any newcomer should do!"

Richard knocked on the table and said to the reporters with a half-smile.

The reporters were quite sympathetic to this newcomer named Jacobson. What kind of evil did he do? You think you, a newcomer, are so full that you dare to jump out and take the initiative to provoke the evil star Richard.

In this alliance, many old guys take a detour when they see Richard. You newcomers are really seeking death...

However, after hearing Richard's words about respecting the elderly and loving the elderly, the reporters suddenly heard something.

It's about Larry Brown.

When Richard mentions respecting the elderly, I am afraid everyone will think of Larry Brown.

A few days ago, a piece of news was circulating in the circle. Although it has not been published in the newspapers, well-informed reporters also knew the news.

That's why Larry Brown was recommended to compete for the Hall of Fame in 2003.

Just being recommended now does not mean that Larry Brown is a Hall of Fame coach. He still has two hurdles to pass, one is to be nominated, and finally he is selected to become a Hall of Fame coach.

Because it has not yet reached the stage of nomination, this matter has not received much attention, and no reporters have reported it.

But tonight, because Richard mentioned respecting the elderly, the reporters felt it was necessary to reveal the news to Richard to see how Richard would react.

"Coach Richard, I heard that Coach Larry Brown has been recommended to participate in the 2003 Hall of Fame coaching selection." A reporter stood up and said with a smile.

Richard was stunned when he heard what this reporter said.

Larry Brown? This guy actually has a chance to enter the Hall of Fame? Hasn't this guy been killed by me...

Richard did remember that Larry Brown was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2002.

The current Hall of Fame selection for 2002 has ended at the end of March at the beginning of the year, and Larry Brown's name is not included in it.

I dare say it was done in 2003.

Larry Brown in the Hall of Fame? Richard is absolutely unwilling!

The Hall of Fame is a recommendation system. Only if there is a recommendation from a Hall of Fame member will you have a chance to be nominated. At the moment, someone has obviously recommended Larry Brown.

Richard is too lazy to ask who did the good thing now...

Anyway, Richard can't let Larry Brown enter the Hall of Fame so easily.

Are you kidding me? Although Larry Brown was treated badly by himself, he has never apologized to himself.

There is no attitude of admitting his mistake at all, can Richard let it go easily?
