Bishop of the Devil

Dark clouds were gathering over the Rose Garden Arena, and it looked like it might rain.

However, this cannot stop the enthusiasm of the home team fans to watch the game. The tickets for today's game were all sold out half a month ago!

On the outer wall of the arena, there is a super giant poster that is ten meters high.

"Blazers! fearless!"

"Trailblazer! Fearless!"

In the poster, Richard is wearing a suit and standing in the middle of the front with a stern face. On both sides are all the Blazers players, all with ferocious faces.

On this cloudy evening, this superstar poster looks extremely scary.

…

In the warm-up session, both sides warmed up in their own half, and no one took the initiative to provoke the other.

On the contrary, there were several fans at the scene who were already standing in the audience and yelling at the Jazz players...

At eight o'clock in the evening, the players from both sides walked out of the locker room and the game was about to begin.

The appearance of the Trail Blazers players directly brought the scene to a climax, and countless fans stood up and cheered!

The current Trail Blazers are undoubtedly the pride of the entire Portland. They have not ranked among the top three in the Western Conference for several years.

The record is not the most important thing, the main thing is the iron-blooded temperament of this Blazers, which makes those old fans feel like they have returned to the 1970s!

The Portland Trail Blazers are notorious as a prison team and are a relatively notorious team in the NBA.

Shootings, rape, drug abuse, drag racing, off-field fights and other bad situations can all be found in the Trail Blazers team.

But this is a story for another day. It was probably around the beginning of the 21st century that the nickname Portland Prison became popular.

In the 1970s, the Trail Blazers' real nickname was "The Enforcers"!

Head coach Jack Ramsey, the team includes Bill Walton, Herm Guillen, and of course the most shining one is Maurice Lucas, nicknamed "The Enforcer"!

Bill Walton, nicknamed the Red Giant, will certainly be familiar to fans of this famous legend. Later, his son Luke Walton also entered the NBA and won two championships with Kobe Bryant. After retiring, he became a considerable player. Successful head coach.

When talking about the best player in the history of the Trail Blazers, I am afraid that the name Bill Walton will come up nine times out of ten.

But if you ask this question to Bill Walton himself, or to his contemporary Blazers teammates, they will probably give different answers...

"Enforcer" Maurice Lucas!

He is the law enforcer on the court. Anything that goes against the Blazers' "laws" that happens on the court will be ruthlessly suppressed by him!

"Look, no one can cause trouble for my team!" This is Lucas' declaration to the entire NBA...

Looking back on that era, many old fans secretly sighed. After entering the 1990s, the Blazers' record was actually pretty good.

But it just lacks that flavor.

It lacks the no-nonsense feeling of the 1970s, which is why Portland fans don’t like Robinson. He is too Buddhist...

In other words, he is too soft and uncompetitive!

These fans are convinced that if enforcer Lucas leads the team to encounter the Jazz in the 1996 playoffs, they will definitely be the final winner.

Malone? Who can he be...

In front of the law enforcers, no matter who you are, you will be caught in one sweep.

And now, with the arrival of Richard, these old fans have found the feeling of the 1970s, the feeling that the Blazers were called law enforcers.

No one dares to act recklessly on the Pioneers' territory, because the law enforcers will make them pay the price!

There is no doubt that in the eyes of these fans, Richard is the enforcer, the new enforcer of the Rose Garden Arena.

"Suppress them!"

"No one can give us pioneers trouble!"

"Son of a bitch Sir, don't even think about leaving Portland today!"

When the Jazz players came on the stage, the sound wave almost reached the ceiling.

The referee is a little nervous now. The only thing he can hope for now is that there will be no big conflict...

If it's a little bit of a fight, he'll definitely be happy to accept it.

There must be no brawls like last season's Western Conference semifinals!

…

"Okay, guys!"

"Tell me loudly, are you ready?"

The game started immediately, and Richard roared loudly on the sidelines.

"All-set!" The generals responded loudly, full of momentum.

"Dududu!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and players from both sides rushed onto the stage.

The fans at the scene became even louder...

O'Brien took a jump ball with Jazz starting center Greg Ostertag while the remaining eight players tangled up with each other.

In particular, Ben and Ma Long raised their elbows one after another, obviously guarding against each other.

The referee's face was full of confusion. He was a little panicked now...

"Boy, take good care of your baby-fingered guy." Stockton said to Kobe next to him with a weird smile on his face.

In the last gang fight, Stockton only received two weak punches from Richard and was not seriously injured.

On the contrary, Kobe fell into a coma...

Now I'm seeing Kobe again. With Stockton's temperament, it would be weird not to provoke Kobe.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle for the jump ball and threw the basketball in his hand high.

O'Brien got the offensive ball for the Trail Blazers...

In this first offensive round, Kobe dribbled to the frontcourt, faced Stockton's defense, and shot a three-pointer!

The hand feels quite good, and the three-pointer hit directly.

"YO, baby fingers are lucky, haha..." After repeated provocations, Stockton walked towards the bottom corner, ready to start their offensive round.

…

"Click..." There was a soft sound, and Stockton felt a sharp pain in his crotch.

He swore he had never experienced this severe pain in his life!

It seemed like a pair of rough hands ripped off his eggs and ham.

When he was unconscious, he turned his head and saw Kobe behind him.

…

The whole audience was shocked. The scene that just happened was enough to make any man’s scalp numb.

After being repeatedly provoked by Stockton, Kobe couldn't bear it anymore and exploded directly, kicking Stockton hard in the crotch.

In the blink of an eye, Stockton passed out, far faster than Kobe passed out last time.

Even people like Richard, who knew what was going to happen, were numb. With this move, the possibility of Stockton being deposed was quite high!

Malone never expected such a change. He never imagined that the 19-year-old rookie point guard of the Trail Blazers could be so vicious.

In less than thirty seconds after the game started, he dared to do this to Stockton!
