Bishop of the Devil

More than ten minutes later, the Blazers' main players and coaching staff all gathered in the medical office.

Richard stood up from the hospital bed and said directly to Carlisle...

"Rick, you will serve as the team's interim head coach for the next three games. I need to lose all the next three games!"

"Our current big score of 1:1 has allowed them to win three games in a row and directly send them to promotion!"

Carlisle was startled, feeling that he might be hallucinating.

As the chief assistant coach himself, there is no doubt that he will serve as the team's interim head coach when Richard is unable to play.

The key question is, Richard requires that he must lose the next three games? !

this……

Is Richard crazy? !

Richard is indeed crazy. He basically wants to die with the Jazz. Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the Blazers to go further in the playoffs...

Under such circumstances, Richard was determined to drag Sir to be buried with him!

…

As soon as the punishment results came out, Richard actually had some second thoughts...

This old boy Stern is obviously making his own wishful thinking. What Jerry Sloan can see, Richard can't see!

Want to use the Trail Blazers as a prop to consume Stockton's suspended games?

Richard really wants to tell them that your thoughts are so beautiful...

Do you really think that Richard is made of mud? !

After suffering such a big loss this time, Richard no longer expected to compete in the Western Conference Finals, because he knew very well that there was no chance of competing in the Western Conference Finals!

Ben, Rasheed and Kobe will all be unable to play next. Even if the Jazz lose Stockton, it will be difficult for the Trail Blazers to defeat the Jazz.

In this case, it would be better to just do something shameless.

Directly give the Jazz three wins and directly send them to the Western Conference Finals!

In this way, Stockton's suspension only lasted three games, and he was still suspended for the first three games of the Western Conference Finals!

In this case, do the Jazz want to reach the finals like they would under normal historical circumstances? !

dream!

With Stockton missing three games, what can the Jazz do to beat the Rockets' trio? !

As a result, the Jazz will not even be able to qualify for the finals!

"Aren't you Stockton a sinner? Aren't you shameless?"

"I am more shameless than you!"

This is what Richard has in mind.

"plum……"

"Losing three games in a row to the Jazz?"

"Wouldn't that mean we are going to be eliminated directly..."

Carlisle looked confused. This was the first time he had heard that the head coach would issue such an order.

"Carlisle, what do you think our chances of winning this series are?" Richard looked at Carlisle's confused face and asked involuntarily.

Carlisle thought for a moment and replied with a wry smile: "Less than 10%!"

"That's right, we lost three main players, and the chance of advancing is less than 10%!"

"In this case, I, Richard, don't need to take advantage of the Jazz just for the 10% chance. Even if we, the Blazers, die, we will drag Jazz along with us!"

"Stockton is absent from the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, and the Jazz are also destined to die!"

Richard directly stated his purpose and said it openly, without any shame because of the shamelessness of this behavior!

Richard would never be ashamed of such a thing.

Carlisle opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe that Richard had such an idea...

It’s so crazy!

This is completely a plan that only a madman could come up with...

For a moment, Carlisle didn't know what to do.

He and Richard are not the same kind of people. This kind of clean and deliberate abandonment of the game is a bit difficult for him to accept...

Seeing Carlisle hesitate a little, he didn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Weiping on the side suddenly became impatient and stretched out his arm: "I will be the interim head coach, leave this job to me!"

"You should be buried with those bastards like Jazz!"

"I have been playing football for so many years and I have never seen such shameless players. They all deserve to die!"

"My poor little Kobe..."

Richard clapped his hands directly, "Okay! Then for the next three games, you will be the interim head coach!"

Stevens on the side was embarrassed to speak. In fact, he also had the idea of ​​taking over this job.

Because this job is really not difficult. It is difficult to win, but is it also difficult to lose?

But after all, his qualifications were there. Seeing Zhang Weiping take over the job, he said nothing...

Ranbir also wanted to take over the job, but was a step too late.

At his age now, he has a much better temper. Otherwise, he would probably be on the banned list in the last game...

…

Carlisle nodded and left this job to Zhang Weiping.

If Richard had to leave this job to him, he would be really embarrassed...

Some people cherish their feathers more, and Carlisle is undoubtedly such a person.

Richard would not exclude Carlisle because of this matter. After all, everyone has different personalities.

…

After Zhang Weiping took over the position of interim head coach, he turned directly to the players in the team who could still play in the game and smiled.

"Did you hear that?"

"Guys! We're going to bury Jazz with him!"

"In the game the day after tomorrow, if anyone dares to score in double figures for me, just wait and see!"

"What a shame! I'll send those sons of bitches from Sir to the fire pit!"

…

May 8, 1997!

G3 of the Trail Blazers-Jazz group in the Western Conference Semifinals begins!

The Blazers players entered the venue first, and the lineup was quite shabby...

Excluding those who were suspended and those who were injured and unable to play, the Blazers' original twelve-man roster only had five players left. With no other option, Zhang Weiping activated the three marginal players who had not been activated in the original fifteen-man roster. Come out and make up the numbers...

Even so, there were only eight people in total.

The strongest among them is Lao Curry...

"Remember, whoever dares to score in double figures, I can guarantee that Richard will definitely make you sit on the bench for the rest of your life!"

"Just cast with your eyes closed!"

"You guys, don't think this is your chance to show off!"

"Believe me, the next three games are definitely not the occasion for you to show yourself, unless you are willing to bear Richard's crazy revenge..."

When the newcomers heard this, they immediately shrank their necks!

Originally, they really felt that this was their opportunity. After all, it was the Western Conference semifinals. If they performed well, they might be favored by other teams.

Even though they know that their goal in this game is to lose, but faced with such an opportunity, who among these newcomers is willing to miss it!

But Zhang Weiping's words immediately made them give up the idea.

Richard's revenge? ! It's so scary. If I mess around on the field, I'm afraid I won't have anywhere to cry!
