Bishop of the Devil

Rashid was sent off without incident...

This was obviously beyond Richard's expectation. He didn't expect that Rashid's problems would begin to be exposed so quickly...

Under normal circumstances, Rashid suffered a lot of technical fouls in his first season with the Trail Blazers, but it was still acceptable!

What really started to be unacceptable to the Blazers management was the next two seasons...

Thirty-eight technical fouls were committed in the second season, which is the single-season technical foul record in NBA history!

In the third season, it reached forty, breaking his own record...

…

Now that Rashid is playing under Richard, counting the two technical fouls he just received, Rashid has already received five technical fouls this season!

You know we have only played ten games this season!

1-5 technical offenses are fined 2,000 US dollars each time. Rashid now has to pay 10,000 US dollars in fines alone!

And this is only temporary, 6-10 technical offenses will cost 3,000 US dollars each time, and 10 to 15 technical offenses will cost 4,000 US dollars each time!

After 16 times, the fine will be 5,000 US dollars each time, and you will be automatically suspended for one game. After that, every two technical offenses will be automatically suspended for one game...

You can imagine how many games Rashid, who had 40 technical fouls in a single season, was suspended...

When he is suspended, the team does not pay him wages, and coupled with the accumulated fines, Rashid loses millions of dollars every year just because of technical offenses!

…

The Pacers retired three players, while the Trail Blazers retired two players...

Of course, if Richard wanted Bowen to continue playing, Bowen would definitely still be able to play, but Richard had no intention of doing so.

The Pacers are completely defeated!

With the victory in hand, let Bowen "recuperate" in the locker room...

…

"And him! Send him off the field too, he also has the intention to attack me!" Larry Brown was already desperate, but now that he saw Rasheed being sent off, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart... …

He pointed at Da Ben and roared, hoping that the referee would also send Da Ben off the field.

The referee glanced at Larry Brown angrily, isn't this greedy? !

How about I help you eject everyone in the Trail Blazers and let you Pacers play by yourself? That way you will definitely win!

Larry Brown was still chattering, and the referee gave Larry Brown a technical foul without saying anything...

This technical offender made him shut up instantly.

He didn't want to be ejected, let alone return to the locker room alone...

Because now there is a scolding master Reggie Miller in the locker room!

…

After the referee solved the trouble on the field, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and announced that the game would continue.

Richard replaced Curry and O'Neal Jr. to replace Rasheed and Bowen.

The result of this game is already quite obvious, even if the first quarter is not over yet...

The Pacers are finished, their starting five is missing three of them!

Although the Trail Blazers are missing two people, it doesn't have much impact.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

The Trail Blazers led the Pacers by 15 points at halftime with a score of 54:39!

The fans cheered one after another, and some fans who also disliked Larry Brown were already beginning to think about how to ridicule Larry Brown...

Doesn’t it mean that our head coach of the Trail Blazers is not even qualified to be your assistant? !

What to say now?

…

Larry Brown is now filled with despair. He feels that his coaching career with the Pacers may be over!

The reason is not that they lost to Richard's Blazers...

But the team's record is poor, and he just had a conflict with Reggie Miller again!

There is no doubt that even if it is just because of Reggie Miller with an annual salary of tens of millions, it is estimated that Larry Brown will find it difficult to coach to the end of this season!

This is not the NCAA, this is the NBA!

The most widely circulated saying among NBA players and management is not "I-Love-This-Game", but "Business is business"!

Business is business, don’t talk nonsense!

If you have no performance in leading the team and have a bad relationship with the team boss, you are like Jesus, and the team management will fire you without hesitation!

Not to mention the homeless Larry Brown, even Sloan, the Jazz's meritorious coach, left the team sadly because he couldn't deal with De Xiaopang.

…

After Bowen came off the court, Kobe and Curry formed a backcourt partnership with even greater offensive firepower.

There is no doubt that if it weren't for too many shitty things today, I'm afraid Kobe would be the highlight of the Rose Garden tonight!

Kobe played 36 minutes in the game and contributed a total of 17 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block!

This is the first double-double in Kobe's career, much earlier than normal!

It was still 12 shots, but this time he scored 17 points. The efficiency was quite high, mainly because Kobe had 5 free throw opportunities in this game and hit four of them!

And because of the tactical system created by Richard, it is not difficult to understand that Kobe, the team's main point guard, has many assists.

In other words, even if it is not Kobe, but another player, as long as he can smoothly bring the ball to the frontcourt and hand it into the hands of the two anti-aircraft guns, his assist data will not be less...

At the moment, in Richard's view, Kobe's greatest value is not the offensive end, nor the organizational end, but the defensive end.

The backcourt formed by him and Bowen will be a nightmare for other teams' backcourt players!

Of course, it's still not possible right now. Kobe still needs time to improve. Even Bowen has not yet reached the limit of his defensive strength!

…

Big Ben's performance was extremely outstanding in this game, contributing 3 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal. He continued to prove to the fans that he is definitely one of the top blue-collar players in the league.

Robinson was extremely stable on the offensive end. Due to Rasheed's withdrawal in this game, he took on more offensive responsibilities and scored 27 points in the game.

O'Neal didn't play much, only 20 minutes, and his statistics weren't very good either. He had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block. He could only continue to grow slowly...

107:76, this is the final score of this game!

The Trail Blazers beat the Pacers by more than 30 points, completely defeating the Pacers...

This was a hearty victory, at least the Blazers fans at the scene were extremely satisfied!

A new army currently has a regular season record of 7 wins and 4 losses. No matter how picky the fans are, they can't find fault!

…

Amid boos from the fans, Larry Brown led the players off the field...

Larry Brown didn't take these harsh boos to heart, and he didn't even care about the subsequent media reports and Richard's insults...

What he cares about most now is whether he can keep his identity as the Pacers' head coach!
