On the night he checked into the hotel, Richard specially placed Yao Ming next to his room.

Yao Ming still has quite a lot of self-control in this regard, but Richard is also afraid of those flesh-and-blood people, and it is not unheard of for him to knock on the door and break into the player's room in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, nothing like this happened this time, which made Richard breath a sigh of relief.

The next night against the New York Knicks, the Pistons naturally defeated them again.

The Knicks are really weak. They really don't have anyone in the lineup who can play.

The only players left who can do it are Alan Houston and the crazy Sprewell.

Alan Houston is about to retire. As for the Madman, he is not in the same state as before with the Warriors.

The Knicks are a player graveyard. Very few players can maintain a hot competitive state in the Knicks. Ewing is an exception.

In the two years when Richard first entered the league, the Knicks were pretty good, but because of the Bulls, they never got a chance to reach the finals.

After the Bulls dynasty disintegrated, successfully rebuilt teams such as the 76ers, Celtics and Nets made the Knicks lose hope of entering the finals...

The Knicks right now are basically in ruins.

In tonight's game, Gerald Wallace became the absolute protagonist of the game.

Richard promised to give Gerald Wallace a good time. It happened to be live broadcast across the United States tonight. Richard directly gave Gerrard an unlimited right to fire, allowing him to fire at will on the court.

In Richard's opinion, the player Gerrard is really ill-fated.

Being selected in the Bobcats' expansion draft might have been the luckiest thing that ever happened to Gerald.

If the Bobcats hadn't gotten it, it would have been difficult for Gerrard to show up.

But in 2009, he suffered a serious injury that completely ruined his career. It is not accurate to say it was an injury.

To be precise, he was hacked...

In a game between the Bobcats and the Lakers in 2009, Gerrard encountered a vicious elbow from Lakers center Bynum in the fourth quarter.

This malicious elbow directly caused Gerrard's fifth rib to be fractured. This is not the most important thing. His left lung was damaged due to the direct tissue function of this elbow, and 30% of his left lung atrophied.

Injury to the lungs is a disaster for any professional player.

This incident also caused Bynum to be criticized by countless fans.

Speaking of which, Bynum is in a team with a deep foundation like the Lakers. In fact, under normal circumstances, he can attract the love of many fans.

But it was precisely because of his stupidity that he didn't end up well in the end.

The players who were viciously elbowed by him were not only Gerrard, but also JJ Barea and Beasley.

If it was just a counter-elbow hit, it would be nothing and it would not cause too serious an injury.

The main reason is that Bynum, who is so stupid, specializes in picking up other people's layups and breakthroughs. He was hit by an elbow. Fortunately, Gerrard was tough enough. Otherwise, Bynum might have killed him that time.

Compared with this idiot, the infamous egg-chasing Green was simply a kind person...

In tonight's game, Gerrard got an extremely ample opportunity to perform. He played 46 minutes, almost the entire game.

He took a whopping 32 shots and finally scored 43 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, BUG-level data.

This night, Gerald completely demonstrated his eighteen martial arts skills.

Such astonishing data directly made the New York Knicks fans stand up and cheer, while also sighing secretly in their hearts.

It would have been so exciting if Richard had chosen to join the Knicks.

Maybe these strong players from the Pistons will become their New York Knicks players!

The stronger the Pistons are and the better their record is, the more uncomfortable Knicks fans will feel. But there is nothing they can do about it. They can only wait and see whether Richard will choose to join the Knicks after his four-year contract with the Pistons ends.

Therefore, whenever there is a game with Richard leading the team, the attendance rate is quite high. Most of the fans cheer and scream at Richard, as if they regard Richard as the savior of New York.

But they didn't know that Richard had never considered the Knicks at all.

Since tonight's game was broadcast live across the United States, Gerrard's strong performance tonight also attracted the attention of countless fans.

With an extremely tough style of play and a rather low-key personality, such a player can easily win the favor of fans no matter where he is.

Even Richard himself quite likes this kind of player.

After the game, Gerrard was all smiles. Tonight's explosive data will definitely help him secure his qualifications for the All-Stars.

Once he becomes an All-Star, he will definitely be able to sign an incredible super contract after his rookie contract ends.

Thinking of this, he looked at Richard gratefully and didn't know how to thank Richard for a while.

His draft pick is not high, and if it were placed on other teams, he might not be able to get too many playing opportunities.

Under normal circumstances, this is the case for Gerrard. After being selected by the Kings with the 25th pick in the first round, he averaged about ten minutes per game in the previous three seasons.

That is to say, in the subsequent expansion draft, he was acquired by the Bobcats, and this was his complete rise.

Now after arriving with the Pistons, Richard directly reused him and gave him a fixed starting qualification. For a rookie late in the first round, this is simply a piece of cake in the sky.

After the game, Richard led the team back to the hotel and flew to Washington at noon tomorrow to prepare for the next game against the Wizards.

"ding ding ding"

At nearly one o'clock in the morning, Richard's phone rang.

He had just fallen asleep, and he was a little confused about who could call him after eating enough at this time...

When I looked at the screen of my phone, I was shocked to see that it was Jordan.

"Li, you haven't gone to bed yet. I have something to talk to you about." Jordan's tone sounded like he was full of worries.

Richard is going crazy. It's this late at night. Did Jordan take the wrong medicine?

They are going to Washington tomorrow. If there is anything, we can't talk about it tomorrow.

"Michael, what's the matter?" Richard asked angrily.

After asking this question, Jordan on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"Ahem, Li, can you..."

"Can you help that boy Brown find some confidence in tomorrow's game..."

Jordan coughed twice, a little embarrassed.

Richard seemed to know why Jordan called him in the middle of the night, and he guessed that he was embarrassed to tell him such a thing in person.

Jordan is a very proud person. There is nothing he can do about it, he has the ability to be proud.

I guess there is nothing I can do now, so I made this call to Richard...

He had a hunch that if Brown tortured Yao Ming severely in the next game, and then was ridiculed severely by the media, this kid would be completely ruined.

He doesn't want Brown to be ruined, and he still has hope for Brown.

At this moment, I had no choice but to find Richard. Although I didn't say it clearly, the meaning was already obvious. I just wanted Richard to say hello to Yao Ming and show mercy on the court...

"Michael, this..." Richard was quite speechless. This matter is really difficult to handle.

Kwame Brown wants to save face, but Yao Ming doesn’t?

If Kwame Brown is let go, and Yao Ming's statistics are not as good as Kwame Brown's, I'm afraid Yao Ming's face will not look good at that time.

So Richard is in trouble now...

He is quite aware of Jordan's difficulties. If he were to think about it from his perspective, if he faced this situation, he would probably lose face and find a team with a good relationship to let loose, trying to give the players some confidence.

Right now, Kwame Brown has become the focus of all media...

The reporter from ESPN was forced to apologize by the old gangster Jordan. If Kwame Brown is beaten by Yao Ming in tonight's game, Jordan's old face will probably have no place to put it.

So whether it was to increase Kwame Brown's confidence or to save his own face, Jordan had to turn to Richard for help.

Seeing Richard hesitate, Jordan's balls ached...

"Li, I didn't say that Yao Ming had to be beaten by Brown. As long as the data between the two sides are very different, you should understand what I mean."

"In order to express my gratitude, I will try my best to help Yao Ming build momentum for this year's All-Stars and strive to help him win the All-Star MVP in his rookie season."

"I think this valuable honor is enough to make up for Yao Ming..."

Jordan was quite sincere. After asking Richard for this matter, he didn't give up on the matter, but gave his promise.

"Okay, Michael, then it's settled." Richard didn't pretend to be a good guy at this point, and simply agreed to Jordan.

As Jordan said, being able to win the All-Star MVP in his rookie season is really an amazing honor.

It is relatively common to win the All-Star MVP during the execution of a rookie contract. In the entire history of the NBA, there are probably more than ten people who can do this.

For example, O'Neal and Duncan, under normal circumstances, both won All-Star MVPs during the execution of their rookie contracts.

But it is extremely rare in NBA history to win the All-Star MVP in his rookie season.

Only three people have appeared, and these three are all players from ancient times. What's more coincidental is that these three times are all consecutive.

The first one is Elgin Baylor, Baylor's father in the 1958-59 season.

The second one is Chamberlain, the coach in the 1959-60 season.

The third one is Big O Oscar Robertson in the 1960-61 season.

So far, in the entire history of the NBA, only these three people have won the All-Star MVP in their rookie seasons. More than 40 years have passed, and this has never happened again.

If Yao Ming can really win this year's All-Star MVP, it will undoubtedly cause a huge sensation.

After all, this is a record that has been sealed for forty years!

Yao Ming suddenly became a figure comparable to Baylor, Marshal and Big O.

However, there is no guarantee that Yao Ming will really win the All-Star MVP. In the end, it still depends on the outcome of the game.

If the Eastern Conference can win the game, then with Richard leading the team and Jordan helping, Yao Ming still has a good chance of winning the All-Star MVP.

But if the Western Conference wins, there will be no hope, no matter how good Yao Ming's data is, it will be useless.

After receiving Richard's affirmative reply, Jordan breathed a sigh of relief.
