Bishop of the Devil

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Pistons had a 14-point advantage.

What made Richard furious was that the Timberwolves abandoned the game halfway through the fourth quarter again...

Originally, Yao Ming still had a good chance of scoring 30+ points tonight, and even more than 40 points was not impossible.

As a result, because the Timberwolves abandoned the game, Yao Ming only scored 27 points in the end.

…

This is very uncomfortable. Originally, Richard was thinking about letting Yao Ming score more points than his previous single-game scoring record in the short term, but now he always encounters situations where his opponents abandon the game, and Richard can't let Yao Ming waste time. Play to score points.

If you really want to be shameless, you can definitely do it...

But the points gained are meaningless. Richard definitely doesn't want to do such a thankless job, and he won't let Yao Ming do it.

But in the next game against the Warriors, Richard came up with an idea to prevent his opponent from giving up.

It may be difficult for the Warriors, a big garbage team, to last too long under the hands of the Pistons. Maybe they will be like the Cavaliers and enter garbage time after three quarters.

Richard naturally didn't want this to happen, so he had to do something during the post-match press conference later.

Richard took Yao Ming and Gerrard to tonight's post-game press conference.

Yao Ming's 27 points and 11 rebounds tonight continued his 20+10 performance.

Richard now plans to keep Yao Ming at 20+10 in every game for three months.

When three months are up, Yao Ming will be eligible to use Jia's father's Sky Hook props.

At present, Yao Ming is also learning sky hook from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in daily training, but in the short term, he can only scratch the surface...

If you can really learn the essence of Tiangou completely in a short period of time, there are only two explanations.

One is that Yao Ming's talent is incredible. He can do whatever he learns, so he won't play basketball anymore and just go straight to cultivating immortality...

The second explanation is that the gold content of Tiangou is too low, and only the ordinary goods with little gold content can be so easy to learn.

Obviously Yao Ming's talent is not enough to be able to cultivate immortality, and Sky Hook is not a popular product, so the progress of learning Sky Hook is not very fast, and it is not yet to the point where it can be used in actual combat.

It can only be said that I have learned a superficial lesson...

And if it can be equipped with Jia's father's sky hook props, it will be a matter of two people. It may not take long for Yao Ming to master the essence of the sky hook!

…

Gerrard's performance tonight was extremely outstanding. It may be the most perfect game he has played since joining the Pistons.

With 24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, he showed great strength on both offense and defense.

In order to increase Gerrard's self-confidence, Richard took him to attend tonight's press conference.

…

Seeing Richard entering the venue with his two favorite generals in high spirits, the reporters could no longer resist the urge to ask questions.

There is no other reason, because the Pistons' next opponent is the Warriors, and the Warriors have Jay Williams.

Williams challenged Richard, who also fought back and told the team to take good care of these brats and not let him catch them.

The day after tomorrow is the game between the Pistons and the Warriors. Now reporters are quite interested in whether what Richard said a few days ago counts.

If it counts, how will he deal with Williams...

"Coach Richard, the next schedule for your Pistons is to play the Golden State Warriors. I wonder what kind of tactical arrangements you have made?" The reporter who stood up to ask a question asked shyly.

After all, it would not be appropriate to ask Richard what he wanted to do with Williams in such a public place.

"Tactical arrangements? What tactical arrangements do you want..."

"Tomorrow I have to see what's going on with the Warriors and see if they've hidden that kid Williams like I said. Now I can't say how to arrange the Warriors." Richard laughed. said.

"Williams has started to serve as the team's starting point guard in the past few games. What if the Warriors continue to do this in the next game?" The reporters asked Richard with interest.

Richard shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "There's nothing we can do about it. I've already warned them."

"I, Richard, am not an unreasonable person, so..."

"When I arrived in Auckland, that kid Williams immediately sent me a 10,000-word review, and I let him go."

"Otherwise, hum..."

"I will definitely lead the Pistons to a bloodbath at Oracle Arena. Don't think about giving up and letting the game enter garbage time. Even if it is garbage time, I, Richard, will not let you go!"

Richard sneered, and the reporters could only silently mourn for the warriors.

Jay Williams, this unlucky boy, is really talkative and weak in his work. This time he caused a devil and big trouble for the Warriors.

Richard has always had a good relationship with the Warriors.

From the Adelman era to Cowens later, he had a good relationship with Richard...

But now this good relationship is about to end, just because Williams said something he shouldn't have said.

…

However, Richard did not beat Williams to death with a stick, but gave the lost lamb a way to survive.

That is to write a review, to write a 10,000-word review for your wrong behavior...

The reporters now have only one feeling, that is, Richard is deliberately continuing to humiliate Williams.

Are you kidding, a 10,000-word review? ! How deeply you need to realize your mistakes to be able to write so many words of self-reflection!

That’s a full 10,000 words. Williams is not a writer of online articles, so how could he write so many words...

But if he couldn't write so many words of self-reflection, Richard said that he would bloodbath the Oracle Arena!

Reporters now just want to know what the Warriors' plans are after they find out about this.

Early the next morning, the newspaper published Richard's words last night, a 10,000-word self-criticism and a bloody oracle...

Cowens' successor, Winters, was fired by the Warriors after last season. The current head coach who succeeds Winters as coach of the Warriors is Eric Musselman.

This is a very junior head coach, even one year younger than Richard...

Richard is finally making his mark now. He is no longer the youngest head coach in the league.

This season is Musselman's first season as coach. He is an academic coach and has never played in the NBA.

Even saying he is an academic coach is not accurate. To be precise, this guy is a princeling...

His father's name is Bill Musselman, and he is a veteran insider. It may be because of his father that he got the head coach position with the Warriors.

Right now, the youngest head coach in the league is panicking...

What did Richard say? He said he was going to bloodbath the Oracle Arena, what should he do now?

He now has the urge to put a knife on Williams' neck, and then ask him to write a 10,000-word review. When Richard arrives in Auckland, he will immediately hand this review to Richard.

"Jay, what do you think about this?" Musselman called Williams into his office.

As a head coach, he really has no authority. The two West Lafayette players on the team don't think much of this princeling. Jamison and Richardson almost regard Musselman as a prince. Air.

"Coach, how can I look at this? Richard is clearly trying to humiliate me. All we can do is teach him a lesson he will never forget and beat him hard!"

"Don't worry, I will handle this game well."

Williams patted his chest quite confidently and assured Musselman.

Musselman was speechless. Did he want this answer?

no!

The answer I want is that Jay Williams takes the initiative to write a review!

Beat the Pistons hard? What to defeat...

Tell Richard and the others this, then make them laugh out loud, and defeat them while they are picking their teeth?

"Have you ever thought about writing a self-criticism? If you really don't want to write it, I can find someone to write it for you..."

"You just need to hand it over to Richard when the time comes."

"That's a villain. We civilized people don't need to compete with a villain."

Musselman grinned, trying to look tough...

"What?! Impossible!"

"It's impossible in this life. Even if I can't make a living and starve to death, and I jump from your office, I will never write!"

Jay Williams was immediately anxious. He didn't expect his coach to make such a request.

In fact, this is not to blame Musselman for being cowardly, but because his current leadership position is unstable and he really doesn’t want to do such nonsense.

He has only one goal now, which is to lead the Warriors to a decent result, plate himself with a layer of gold, and strive to be a coach in the NBA for a long time in the future.

If Richard is concerned about it, he feels that this is definitely not a good thing...

Coaches like Larry Brown have been completely wiped out by Richard, let alone young coaches like him.

…

But looking at Williams' posture now, it's a fight to the death, and Musselman has no choice. He can only take it one step at a time.

It's not that there is really nothing he can do. He can completely use the head coach's rights to put Williams on the injured list, or simply let him not play.

But it would be really embarrassing to do this...

If I were to write a review, it would be Williams's disgrace, not Musselman's.

But if Williams is suppressed and not allowed to play, doesn't that mean Musselman has given in? He is afraid of Richard's power and simply succumbed...

Being in an alliance is equivalent to being in society. If you lose your face, who can still respect you?

So no matter what, Musselman will definitely let Williams appear on the court. Not only must he appear on the court, but he must also keep him on the court as much as possible.

…

At noon on the second day, the Pistons generals appeared in Oakland.

Jay Williams didn't send Richard a review, and it seemed like he was about to give up.

Of course, this is not beyond Richard's expectation. If it were him, he would not submit it for self-criticism. If such a thing could be done, it would be really embarrassing, and he would probably not be able to hold his head high in the league in the future. .

The night before the game day, Richard had dinner with Jamison and Richardson.

Jamison is actually considered an older player in West Lafayette.

Iverson, Ben and others are considered the first batch of West Lafayette players, and Jamison is considered the second batch...

But Jamison is not living a happy life now. Although he signed a large contract, he has never received any decent honors.

In the past two seasons, Jamison has been steadily averaging 20 points per game. He even had the best performance of his career last season, averaging about 25 points and 9 rebounds per game!

But even with such data, Jamison didn't get a chance to become an All-Star. It was really miserable.

The reason is definitely that the team's record is too rubbish.

The Warriors have been down in the Western Conference for several consecutive years. As the boss, his life is not as good as it seems.

As for Richardson, after entering the league last season, he directly followed the Warriors to the last record in the league, which was quite embarrassing.

Now these two people are in great pain. They can only watch their brothers proud of the alliance, but they can only stay at the bottom of the alliance. It's strange that they don't feel uncomfortable.

Jamison, in particular, felt even more uncomfortable. He averaged 25+9 per game, but he couldn't even make the All-Stars. Who could he ask to reason with...
