Bishop of the Devil

Dazhi boasted too much. He said in front of Yao Ming more than once that Richard knew everything in the world. He had never said an empty word in all these years.

In addition, Richard led the Trail Blazers to create the fourth dynasty team in NBA history.

Yao Ming now also has great respect for Richard. He has fantasized more than once about entering the NBA and playing under Richard.

Richard likes inside players, that is a well-known thing...

And he happens to be the most traditional inside player. If he can play for Richard, his hope of rising will definitely increase.

It can even be said that it is certain that it will rise.

Now Richard has taken the initiative to contact him, which Yao Ming considers his honor...

Although Yao Ming is now the dominant player in the CBA, he averaged 27.1 points, 19.4 rebounds and 5.5 blocks per game in the CBA last season.

Even judging from this year's situation, his data may even go further.

But he knows very well that the CBA data is actually of little significance. It is very likely that after he enters the NBA, this data will be directly reduced by half.

Thinking about the super insiders Ben and Ou under Richard, Yao Ming does not have any sense of superiority because of his dominance in the CBA.

…

"Yao Ming, I heard from Dazhi that you are planning to sign up for the NBA draft next year. Is this true?" Richard asked with a smile.

Dazhi actually didn't say anything about this, but Richard guessed that Yao Ming must have this idea at the moment.

"That's right, Coach Richard, if I have the chance, I would very much like to play for your team!" Yao Ming did not hide anything and directly expressed his true thoughts.

Any professional player, unless there are some special reasons, will make entering the NBA his career goal!

Yao Ming is no exception...

Entering the NBA is not just to make a lot of money, but to better prove your own strength and your status in the basketball circle!

Don't look at some players who have great titles such as King of Europe, King of Asia, Europe's No. 1 Small Forward, No. 1 Defender, etc., but in fact, fans do not take such titles seriously.

In the eyes of fans, the king or the number one player in each position will only appear in the NBA.

Who is the best player in basketball? That must be Jordan...

The reason why Yao Ming wants to enter the NBA is definitely to make money, and to make a bigger name is also another reason.

What's the difference between staying in a corner and being a frog in a well?

…

After listening to Yao Ming's words, Richard laughed. He didn't even have to abduct himself. Yao Ming took the initiative and said that he would serve him...

"Young man, yes, you have this idea, I'm quite happy!"

"Let me tell you this, if you participate in the draft next year, you can only play for me, because other teams will definitely not be able to get you!"

Richard said this with great confidence!

Yao Ming was surprised. He didn't expect Richard to be so confident...

He is not completely ignorant of the NBA draft system. After becoming interested in the NBA, he studied the NBA draft system.

With the No. 1 pick, a team can naturally choose among the rookies in the same class.

But if you don't have the No. 1 pick, you have to wait until the selection is completed before choosing.

Where did Richard get the confidence that he would definitely work for him? Could it be said that he is 100% sure of getting the No. 1 pick? !

But this is impossible...

The drawing of lots is random. Who dares to say that he will definitely get the No. 1 pick? !

Could it be that……

Yao Ming suddenly thought of Stern's dark history, and his heart moved.

Could it be that there was some kind of PY deal between Richard and Stern, and Richard’s No. 1 pick was already decided?

It seems that this is really possible...

Thinking of this, Yao Ming became happy. What Dazhi said was true. Richard really had incomparable magical powers!

It's a great deal to play for such a versatile head coach.

"Coach Li, I understand. Don't worry, I will keep this matter secret!" Yao Ming said solemnly.

Richard was startled, why did he keep it a secret? What did he say...

"Now you go and test the Shanghai team's attitude first, and take a look at the attitude of the domestic basketball association."

"It's okay for the domestic basketball association. I have a way to make them relax."

"What you need to do now is how to get the Shanghai team to let go."

Richard paid attention to Yao Ming. When Yao Ming participated in the draft, he really passed five levels and defeated six generals, and encountered a lot of trouble.

Now Richard is wondering if he can start preparations earlier...

…

After hanging up the phone, Richard could only wait for the news from Yao Ming.

Hope it’s good news…

The current situation in CBA is actually quite different from normal.

In the season that just ended, Yao Ming led the Shanghai team to defeat the Bayi team and win the CBA championship.

Under normal history, Yao Ming lost to Wang Zhizhi's Bayi team this year.

Therefore, one of the conditions offered by the Shanghai team to Yao Ming for leaving the team is that Yao Ming must lead the Shanghai team to win the championship.

Now that the championship has been won, maybe the Shanghai team will let go.

Of course, this is also Richard's conjecture. No one can say whether the Shanghai team will still be a lion.

…

After contacting Yao Ming, Richard set his sights on the NBA.

After killing the old gangster Wizards in the first game of the regular season, the Pistons' next opponent is the New Jersey Nets...

Last season's super weak team, their boss personally invited Richard to join the Nets at the end of the finals.

However, Richard finally chose the Pistons and did not join the Nets...

As soon as they missed Richard, the Nets directly reached a deal with the Suns.

The Nets sent Marbury to the Suns in exchange for Kidd...

After Richard heard the news, his heart skipped a beat. This is the rhythm for the Nets Trident to take shape!

In the next two years, the Eastern Conference is likely to be dominated by the Nets.

Of course, the premise is that the Pistons do not rise. If the Pistons rise, there will definitely be nothing wrong with the Nets...

Richard remembered that this season and next season, it was the Nets who reached the finals in the Eastern Conference. Although they were defeated by the Lakers and Spurs respectively, it was already quite a feat for them to reach the finals for two consecutive years. What an incredible achievement.

Why does Kidd have such a great reputation among point guards?

It's because of his strong team leadership ability!

Looking at the data, Kidd's data is really not particularly impressive. Not to mention his somewhat embarrassing shooting percentage, last season was one of the peak seasons of his entire career, averaging 16.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 2.2 assists per game. Steals.

Marbury, who swapped with Kidd, averaged 23.9 points, 7.6 assists and 1.2 steals last season. How much worse than Kidd?

It’s really not that much different…

Basically the same level of data.

But will anyone say that Mobley is a player on the same level as Kidd? Not really...

The main reason is that Kidd's leadership performance is hundreds of times better than Marbury's.

Kidd previously led the slutty Suns into the Western Conference playoffs, which is full of strong players!

In the next two years, he will make the Nets the top powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.

This is the reason why he defeated Marbury even though the data was not dominant.

Of course, it is not accurate to say that data does not have an advantage. To be precise, low-level data does not have an advantage.

In terms of high-end statistics, Kidd can still beat Marbury.

Throughout his career, Kidd's offensive efficiency value is similar to Marbury's. Kidd's is 107, while Marbury's is 108...

In other words, the two men scored about the same amount of points per 100 rounds in the game...

But in terms of defensive efficiency, these two are not at the same level at all.

Kidd's defensive efficiency value is 102, while Marbury's defensive efficiency is an embarrassing 110!

This means that Marbury can score 108 points in 100 rounds, but his opponent can score 110 points.

This shows that Mao Marbury has been leading the team with poor results, because the cargo field has had side effects...

In fact, this is the most intuitive reflection of a player's ability!

Sometimes low-level data can indeed explain some problems, but it is high-level data that can explain the problem better.

There is a saying circulating in the fan circle that fans who only look at statistics are fake fans.

This statement is actually quite inaccurate and biased.

Because the data contains high-level data, this high-level data can quite accurately reflect a player's strength.

For example, the comparison of offensive efficiency value and defensive efficiency value. For a player, your offensive efficiency value is not as high as the defensive efficiency value, which can only explain one problem...

You are just a rubbish player, a rubbish player who is totally worthless.

Because you let your opponent get more points on your head than you did!

Some people are confused. If Nash's defense is not good, doesn't it mean that he is also garbage...

This is really not the case.

Nash's defensive efficiency value is indeed embarrassing, not as good as Marbury, his defensive efficiency value is 111!

But his offensive efficiency value is high, as high as 118!

One hundred rounds, seven points more than the opponent's net score!

This definitely cannot be called rubbish, it is already quite impressive...

There are positive examples and there are negative examples.

Take Wiggins, the future health champion, as an example. This guy has an offensive efficiency value of 104 and a defensive efficiency value of 114, which is quite embarrassing data.

Looking at the entire history of the NBA, it is really impossible to find any No. 1 pick with a defensive efficiency value as low as 114.

Even Bennett, the most popular No. 1 pick in history, has been playing for several years and is still at the level of 109.

Can you say that he is not trash...

The offensive efficiency value is worse than the basic attack, and the defense is as bad as the limit. What is such a player if he is not garbage...

All in all, Kidd's arrival in the East still puts some pressure on Richard.

Without Kidd, Richard feels they would have reached the finals more easily.

But now it is necessary to pass Kidd first.

…

In this game against the Nets, the Pistons lost miserably.

Kidd did an excellent job of limiting Nash's fast breaks, causing the Pistons' offensive rhythm to become completely chaotic.

Moreover, Martin, the jumping man in the Nets, also caused huge trouble to the Pistons' insiders.

Anderson was at a considerable disadvantage against Martin.

In the end, the Trail Blazers lost by 13 points and ended their second game of the regular season.

Although he lost the game, Richard was still able to accept it.

After all, no matter what, the Nets are a finals-level team. It is simply not normal for this new team to lose to a finals-level team.

But Richard knows that the Nets are a finals-level team, but others don't know that...

Even if the Nets are in a terrible situation right now, I don't know if they can reach the finals.

So when the Pistons lost this game, Pistons fans were quite disappointed. They originally thought that Richard could lead the new Pistons army to stop and kill the gods.

But now it seems that I have thought too much...

As for the Nets fans, it was as if it was the New Year. Their invitation to Richard was unsuccessful, but now the team is easily beating Richard's team.

They were so excited...

…

In the next two home games, the Pistons' opponents are the Boston Celtics and the Sacramento Kings.

Green Kai has already begun to rise in the past two seasons, and is now quite strong. As a result, they won another victory at the Pistons' home court.

As for the Kings, they started to rise last season, and this season they are even more ridiculously strong.

In Richard's memory, although it was the Lakers who finally won the championship this season, it was the Kings who had the best regular season record.

This is a gorgeous team with a very gorgeous playing style, and they fought against the Pistons on the court.

As a result, the Pistons still lost despite feeling good, losing three consecutive games with a score of 119:123.

Starting with 1 win and 3 losses, such a miserable record is definitely the most difficult period since Richard entered the league.

However, the reason why the record is so miserable is that the opponent is too strong.

Good guy, in the first four games of the Pistons' schedule, there are three powerful teams. It would be strange if they don't lose miserably.

Richard is not coaching the Trail Blazers, but a Pistons team in its infancy, so it is understandable that the record is not good.

In the next three consecutive away games, the Pistons finally took a breath. The three opponents were not very strong, and finally achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.

The opening record of 3 wins and 4 losses is not bad at all for a new army.

But you must know that this is a team coached by the amazing Richard, so such a record is obviously unsatisfactory.

But Pistons fans still showed plenty of patience...

It is not realistic to become a fat man in one bite. Now it depends on when Richard can get the Pistons on the right track.

Although Pistons fans are patient, those clowns that Richard had suppressed before cannot sit still.

It was finally time for them to watch Richard's jokes...

You must know that in the past five years or so, Richard has made many friends, but he has also made many enemies.

Before that, the Blazers were extremely strong, and the Blazers were a bunch of cruel villains, so no one dared to publicly challenge Richard.

But now? Richard left the Trail Blazers...

It doesn't matter what the Pistons want now, not even the villains. In the eyes of those clowns, it's just a concentration camp for a bunch of weaklings.

That's really what they think...

Nash is undoubtedly the core of the Pistons, but Nash has nothing to do with the word villain.

This is a skinny white player...

The core is not a villain like Big Ben, and the other players are also unknowns that Richard picked up from everywhere.

In the eyes of those clowns, now is the best time to regain their place with Richard.

Richard treated us like that, now it's time for you to taste the taste of being slapped in the face.

The first one to jump out was Ricky Davis of the Jazz.

This guy didn't stop even when he was injured. Seeing that the Pistons' record was a bit shabby, he jumped out immediately.

He really hates Richard with all his teeth...

As if Richard cursed himself, he really suffered an injury at the beginning of the new season.

Under this situation, he actually wanted to jump out and tear Richard apart for a long time, but he never found the chance.

It wasn't until the Pistons' recent poor record that he found an opportunity.

"There's about a week before I can return from injury. Coincidentally, it will be the Jazz's game against the Pistons."

"I am looking forward to the start of this game. I will let Richard know that after leaving the Trail Blazers, he is nothing!"

…

After saying this, the West Lafayette players in the league immediately caught Ricky Davis and scolded him.

But Ricky Davis didn't care. He knew the private agreement between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz. Neither team could take the initiative to attack the other side, otherwise, the consequences would be quite serious.

Now the Blazers players are scolding themselves, so what, they still have a big contract, and they won't lose a piece of meat.

As for the West Lafayette players on other teams, they also have to weigh Malone's iron elbow.

Richard's Piston? Ricky Davis really doesn't care now, what can those weaklings do to him?

The two white centers look extremely wilted, and the black center Clark is now hidden away by Richard.

The players in other positions are all a bunch of weak guys...

Anyway, Ricky Davis didn't take it seriously at all, but due to strength or fighting, he felt that the Jazz could completely kill the Pistons.

This is also the reason why he dares to jump out and find trouble.

Led by Ricky Davis, many people really jumped out.

For example, the Bucks team suffered a lot from Richard.

The team's main point guard was beaten by Richard's players, and was beaten by Richard to record the largest point difference in team history. The most important thing is that when the big dog Robinson wanted to show his kindness to Richard, he was beaten by the little one again. Ao was severely insulted.

What a deep hatred!

That is to say, the big dog is tolerant enough. If it were anyone else, he and Richard would have been at odds with each other long ago.

A big dog who is very tolerant, he endured it for a full five years!

If he endures it any longer, he will probably become mentally distorted...

What a pity, he finally got a chance to regain his position from Richard!

Because the Pistons' next opponent is their Milwaukee Bucks!
