Bishop of the Devil

After Yao Ming and Bell returned to the locker room arm in arm, Clark immediately stood up.

"how's it going?"

"Are you going to continue to deal with that kid?" Clark asked with a smile.

Yao Ming and Yao Ming nodded at the same time.

"Take care of it, Dayao gave that boy a good beating!" Bell said with dancing joy.

Clark slapped his thigh and laughed wildly, "Okay, okay, this is how you should deal with that kid!"

"If I hadn't been ejected, that kid would have been carried out of the Palace of Auburn Hills tonight!"

…

"By the way, Zeon, the coach just said that Bell will be guaranteed an All-Star position." Yao Ming said with a smile.

Every time he calls the name Zeon, Yao Ming wants to laugh...

In Mandarin, that would be the lucky old man.

"Huh? Directly retaining an All-Star? God, Bell, you are so prosperous!"

"What the coach said, you can definitely do it. I am the best example!" Clark immediately congratulated Laga Bell. He was extremely convinced of Richard and knew that since Richard said these words , then you can definitely do it.

But he was still a little disappointed...

According to this year's situation, Nash and Yao Ming are certain to be selected into the All-Stars. If Richard loses another Bell, it will be difficult for Clark to be selected into the All-Stars.

After all, it is quite difficult for a team to have three All-Stars.

It would be extremely difficult to have four All-Stars. In recent years, only the Blazers have had four All-Stars.

Originally he thought he could make the All-Stars, but now it seems like his chances aren't that great.

Yao Ming also saw the disappointment on Clark's face...

These rough guys can't hide anything on their faces. Basically, whatever they are thinking is revealed on their faces.

It's not that Clark is jealous of Bell, but he just feels a little disappointed that he can't be selected as an All-Star this year.

"Brother, don't worry. The coach will definitely make arrangements. Just wait with peace of mind. I feel that the coach values ​​you very much and will never let you be wronged." Yao Ming smiled and patted Clark on the shoulder.

Clark is five years older than Yao Ming, and he takes great care of Yao Ming in daily life, so Yao Ming is willing to call him brother.

"Besides, your name means lucky old guy in Chinese. I think you will have good luck, brother."

Upon hearing Yao Ming's words, Clark was dumbfounded. Is this happening?

He is really quite old. Although he entered the league two years later than Nash, he is actually only one year younger than Nash right now.

If you put him in the Pistons, he would definitely be considered an old guy...

Lucky old guy? Clark muttered, could he really be lucky this time?

…

On the court, Stoudemire played with a pig's head on his head.

Tang Shuai originally wanted to replace Stoudemire quickly, but Stoudemire just didn't want to...

Yao Ming has been sent off, and the Pistons have now sent off three of their main starting players!

How could Stoudemire miss such a good opportunity to beat the Pistons...

Even if he is holding a pig's head now, he can't wait to appear on the stage and beat the Pistons!

Tang Shuai had no choice but to do so. He was relatively mild-tempered, so he could only agree to Xiaosi's request.

Richard saw Xiao Si appear on the stage again, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. This kid is quite cruel, and he is quite cruel to himself!

Even though he was slapped into a pig's head, he still wanted to play on the field.

Richard naturally knew Stoudemire's intentions. This kid wanted to win...

Once the Rockets win this game, then Stoudemire will be the final winner tonight. He can say whatever he wants to say as a winner.

Now the third quarter of the game is coming to an end, and the score difference between the two sides is not big, only 12 points.

In the last quarter of the game, it is not an impossible task to recover the twelve-point deficit.

Anyway, in Stoudemire's opinion, with the exit of Yao Ming and Clark, he can definitely lead the team to win against the Pistons.

Richard sneered. If the Rockets thought that the Pistons only had so much knowledge, then they would underestimate the Pistons.

Even though the Pistons were sent off three starting players, Richard is still confident of defeating the Rockets!

Richard really doesn't pay much attention to a scumbag lineup like the Rockets...

Not to mention just sending away three starters, even if all five starters are punished, Richard feels that the Rockets may not be able to beat the Pistons!

What's more, the Pistons currently hold a more than ten-point advantage!

The current lineup on the Pistons side is Okur, Boozer, Gerrard, Crawford and Nash.

Boozer and Crawford didn't get many performance opportunities in the Pistons, but their abilities are there, and their daily training is quite hard.

They know very well that if they want to get ahead in the talented Pistons, they can only rely on their own unremitting efforts.

Only if they work hard enough to be recognized by Richard and add a little bit of luck can they have a chance to get ahead.

Now is almost their chance to get ahead.

The two men played very hard on the court, and Boozer was a thoughtful player.

In fact, since this guy can be a rebel and trick a knight, he definitely can't be a big boss, he must have a very lively mind.

He knew very well that the Pistons' main goal now was to limit Stoudemire, so he directly took on the important task of defending Stoudemire.

It's a desperate defense...

Anyway, it wasn't long before the end of the game. He was not afraid of fouls at all, and his defensive actions were quite large. As a result, Stoudemire's score did not increase significantly.

Even though the Pistons were sent off three starting players, the Rockets didn't have any advantage on the court.

Tang Shuai sighed, the Pistons' lineup is really scary.

That was three starters who were ejected. Under such circumstances, the Pistons could still have an advantage. It is simply unreasonable.

Richard sat on the bench leisurely, not worrying about the outcome on the court.

He knows very well that the Rockets will definitely lose. The question now is just how much they will lose...

The post-match press conference is Richard's biggest concern right now.

This matter tonight is not a trivial matter. The league will definitely impose penalties, but it is difficult to say how serious the punishment will be.

Richard certainly doesn't want the league to impose heavy penalties, especially against Yao Ming.

In tonight's game, although Yao Ming was ejected, he got a lot of opportunities in the previous games. In addition, the Rockets' rebounding ability is not very good, so Yao Ming has already recorded 23 points and 12 rebounds, and continues to do so. 20+10 record.

If he is punished by a league suspension, Richard doesn't know whether his 20+10 record will be interrupted.

The description of the prop does not specify whether a player's suspension counts as a break in the record.

Richard also feels a little sore now...

If I had known earlier, I would have dealt with Stoudemire later, but now it is better. If Yao Ming's record is interrupted, it will be a bit more gain than loss.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

To the disappointment of everyone in the Rockets, the Pistons were like an insurmountable mountain in front of them.

Even though three starters were sent off, they still had an advantage in the last quarter of the game.

When the game ended, the Pistons had a 17-point advantage in tonight's home game, beating the Rockets.

…

Stoudemire returned to the locker room with a grimace.

His statistics tonight were pretty good, with 25 points and 7 rebounds. At least he surpassed Yao Ming in terms of scoring.

But he couldn't be happy...

Because his data did not beat Yao Ming, and the team lost in the end, it is strange that he can be happy.

Yao Ming played less than three quarters of the game, and ended up scoring 20+10. Stoudemire played the entire game, with 25 points and 7 rebounds. In terms of performance, he was obviously not as good as Yao Ming...

And the most important thing is that he was slapped a few times by Yao Ming tonight, and the reporters' cameras on the sidelines recorded it. You don't need to think about it, this matter will definitely make the headlines tomorrow.

…

Stoudemire did not attend the press conference after the game. He went to the press conference with a pig's head on his head. He was inevitably laughed at by the Pistons' local reporters.

Tang Shuai sighed at the press conference. He wanted to accuse the Pistons and accuse them of the violence on the Pistons field, but he did not say anything.

Because he knows very well that his accusations will not have any effect and may make the situation worse in the end.

The only thing he thinks about now is that the two sides shake hands and make peace, and the matter is over.

If the Pistons can mess with Stoudemire like this tonight, they may be able to destroy Stoudemire in the next game. If they continue to retaliate like this, when will it end?

At the press conference, Tang Shuai casually answered a few questions from reporters and ended their press conference.

The reporters didn't feel any disappointment, after all, tonight's press conference was dominated by the Pistons.

No matter what the Rockets say, they don't really care. What they really want to see is Richard's speech.

Richard has been silent for some years...

In recent years, although Richard has a strong sense of presence, nothing too extreme has happened, at least there has never been such a thing where his players beat people into pig heads.

And tonight's game, if it weren't for Tang Shuai's gentle personality and if it weren't for the Rockets players' restraint, there might have been another super brawl.

…

Richard brought Yao Ming and Clark to tonight's press conference.

"Guys, long time no see, I miss you so much." After Richard entered the venue, he waved his hand and said to the reporters at the scene.

The local reporters in Detroit were speechless. It seemed that they had just attended the Pistons' press conference two days ago.

"Coach Richard, what happened tonight..." A reporter stood up, preparing to ask questions.

Richard waved his hand directly and interrupted the reporter's question.

"I know what you are going to ask. Let me explain what happened tonight."

"Start with Clark first? Okay, let's start with Clark..."

"Clarke is one of the two oldest players on our team, and I don't know how you feel about it, but I feel like he did nothing wrong."

"Any team I coach, starting from the Purdue Boilermakers, the senior players in the team are inherently responsible for protecting the young players!"

"You all saw that kid's provocation tonight. Clark did nothing wrong. He responded to his opponent's provocation perfectly!"

"Let me say it one last time, no one or any team should try to provoke my Richard team, otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

Richard said with a sneer.

"By the way, it seems that there are Chinese reporters present tonight, and China has also opened channels for All-Star voting this year."

"Here, let me help the Pistons generals win votes..."

"Compatriots, there are two Chinese players in the Pistons. I hope you can help us cast more votes."

"Clarke is definitely qualified to be selected as an All-Star. Right now, he and Yao Ming are the top two centers in the Eastern Conference. There shouldn't be any doubt about this, right?"

Clark sat next to Richard. Hearing Richard's words, he instantly relaxed...

Richard has been attracting votes for himself, and it seems that this time the All-Star Richard will also keep himself selected!

As soon as Richard finished speaking, Yao Ming on the side also picked up the microphone.

"Yes, Clark is a very good big brother. He has been taking care of me since I joined the team. This is obvious to everyone. I hope that everyone can give Clark more votes in the upcoming first round of All-Star voting. !”

Yao Ming also began to help Clark win votes.

Laga Bell doesn't have to worry much. After all, he is just an All-Star substitute. As long as Bell's data is not too bad, Richard can handle it himself.

As for Clark, both Yao Ming and Richard are currently trying to get him an All-Star starting position.

Yao Ming's appointment as the starting center is a sure thing, and Clark now has a chance to become the starting forward in the Eastern Conference.

The record is there, and the data is not bad. As long as he has enough votes, he will be a proper starting forward.

At the moment, the Eastern Conference mainly has brighter stars in the backcourt. As for the frontcourt and center positions, to be honest, they are far inferior to those in the Western Conference!

The league's first and second centers are in the West, and the league's three power forwards are in the West. There really isn't anyone in the East who can do anything.

Those who can compete with Yao Ming for the center position are Brand, Mutombo, Big Z and Brad Miller.

But these four people are obviously not qualified to compete with Yao Ming for the starting position. The only thing they can compete for is the substitute center position.

As for the forward position, Carter will definitely be able to occupy a starting position in the East, leaving Grant Hill, Fatty, Kenyon Martin, Raheem and Rasheed.

Clark is not as good as Carter, but he is really not worse than the next few people...

Under such circumstances, Clark may not have the chance to get the starting forward position. Now Richard and Yao Ming are just trying to add fuel to the fire and get some votes from China to see if Clark can be promoted to the starting forward position. .
