Bishop of the Devil

After watching Blue Bridge, the two of them watched Gone with the Wind.

From this point of view, the two people have somewhat similar interests and hobbies, and they both like to watch some old movies.

"Tiana, are you hungry? How about I cook something to eat..." Richard looked at the time, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

"Can you cook?" Tiana asked Richard in surprise.

Richard laughed, and I will use my cooking skills to conquer you tonight...

After a while, Richard came out from the kitchen with two bowls of egg noodles.

There is a supermarket near his residence, and Richard can't stand eating old and American fast food all the time, so he cooks a small stove for himself at home from time to time.

…

"Why is it so delicious..."

"God, what kind of noodles is this?" Tiana didn't know if she was hungry or if she really thought it was delicious.

"It's just ordinary egg noodles. If you think it's delicious, I'll make it for you every day." Richard said with a smile.

Richard did not expect that these words would directly lead to him becoming the cook of this small family in the future...

…

There was a home game on the second night, and the opponent was the Toronto Raptors, a well-known weak team in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors naturally have a star, Vince Carter.

Speaking of which, in fact, Carter's results when leading the team alone are really a bit shabby...

Among the four major shooting guards, Carter is probably the worst in terms of team leadership performance.

What's even more fatal is that Carter played half of the schedule this season and was immediately reimbursed for the season. As a result, the Raptors are now simply the belly of the fish, and Wu Sheng Jackson has become the boss of this team.

Fans at home in Detroit noticed something strange. There was a pretty and eye-catching girl sitting next to the Pistons bench.

It seems like this girl's seat was temporarily added?

This thing is quite strange. It is not unusual to have an extra seat next to the team's bench, but it is unusual to have a young girl sitting on the seat.

Could it be that she is the girlfriend of a certain player on the Pistons?

"Whose girlfriend is this? Pistons guys are so lucky!"

"I don't know. This girl looks like Hathaway. No, she's more attractive than Hathaway..."

"Whose girlfriend could it be? Clark? Impossible, how could such a good girl look down on a rough guy like Clark..."

"I think I know who this is. If I guess correctly, this may be Paul Allen's niece. I read an interview with Paul Allen before, and she appeared in it!"

The fans at the scene were talking a lot. When they heard that this was Paul Allen's niece, they were all shocked.

Whose boy was so lucky that he hooked up with Paul Allen's niece? This was a step to the top of his life.

…

But it’s wrong to think about it. Richard gives people the impression of being a very old-fashioned coach. He has been in the league for many years, and he has never heard of allowing players to let their girlfriends sit next to the bench...

There must be something fishy about this.

After the Pistons generals entered the stadium, the fans' doubts were finally solved. They saw Paul Allen's niece with their own eyes and smiled sweetly at Richard.

Richard, on the other hand, was unusually shy...

"God, this damn girl can't be Richard's girlfriend!"

"My God, Richard is such a generous person..."

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced, I'm totally convinced. Richard will be my idol from now on. This guy is really almighty!"

The fans were extremely shocked. Seeing Richard and Tiana flirting with each other, even a fool could tell that the relationship between the two was unusual.

The reporters all giggled. Good guy, this news is absolutely explosive.

It is quite news that Zen Master Jackson is dating Jenny Bass of the Bass family.

But after all, those two are old bacon, so no one really pays attention to them.

At present, Richard and Tiana Allen are both talented and beautiful, and they may cause an uproar in the alliance.

When this news breaks out tomorrow morning, it will definitely trigger a big news wave.

In the minds of reporters, Richard is a personal topic-making machine. Richard has created countless topics recently.

…

"Coach, congratulations..." Wu Sheng Jackson approached Richard and laughed loudly before the game started.

The news about Richard's date has already spread among the West Lafayette players, and everyone is now waiting to drink Richard's wedding wine.

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense, it's nonsense..." Richard waved his hand to shut up Martial Saint Jackson.

"Haha, this is not the coach I know. You should be more domineering..."

"Domineering, okay, I will be more domineering when I beat you Raptors tonight." Richard glanced at Wu Sheng and said.

Wu Sheng waved his hand quickly, "No, coach, our Raptors are miserable enough now, just let us go..."

"By the way, coach, what do you think we should do now? The team's record has been unable to improve." Wu Sheng Jackson asked Richard melancholy.

Richard shook his head. He really had no idea about the Raptors and couldn't give any advice at all.

Speaking of the Raptors' lineup, it's actually really good.

The former All-Star starting center Antonio Davis is on the inside. Although he is relatively shabby as an All-Star starting center, he is at least an All-Star. The inside line in the Eastern Conference can be ranked in the top five no matter what.

Needless to say, Vince Carter is one of the four top shooting guards in the league...

Warrior Saint Jackson is also an absolute All-Star, currently averaging 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

With such a lineup, Richard can't find any faults at all, so he can't tell the Raptors how to strengthen it.

How can they be strengthened? Their Raptors lineup is already quite strong...

If we really want to talk about reinforcements, I'm afraid it means strengthening the corner lineup, but the effect will definitely not be ideal.

After all, the three core members of the team are the leaders of this team. If the leader can't achieve any results by leading the team, it's definitely not possible to count on the little bits and pieces.

"I can't help it. To be honest, your Raptors lineup only has such a record, which is really beyond my expectations."

"In my opinion, your Raptors should actually at least reach the top four level in the Eastern Conference..." Richard sighed and said.

When Martial Saint Jackson heard this, his balls ached. Even Richard couldn't help it. The Raptors were really doomed.

…

Yao Ming was rested in this game, but it was enough to deal with Antonio Davis and Clark.

Clark remembered Richard's instructions and collected more block data, and played very tough on the defensive end of the court.

Maybe Davis was also worried, and a conflict broke out between the two on the court, but the conflict was not large in scale and was pulled away by Wu Sheng Jackson, preventing further expansion of the conflict.

If they were playing against other teams, if something like this happened, Wu Sheng would probably roll up his arms and step forward to help.

But tonight's match was Richard's team after all. Wu Sheng was still somewhat sensible and did not let the conflict expand.

If a large-scale conflict really breaks out, it would be difficult for Wu Sheng to be caught in the middle.

…

Against the Raptors, a weakling from the Eastern Conference, Richard was quite relaxed and didn't pay too much attention to the situation on the court.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Raptors lost on the road by a 14-point margin.

This point difference is naturally the result of Richard's lethargy in the last quarter of the game. Otherwise, based on the current strength comparison between the Pistons and the Raptors, it would not be difficult to achieve a point difference of more than 20 points.

Clark continued his super performance tonight, scoring 22 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Without Yao Ming on the court, Clark can naturally get more passes from Nash.

A good point guard can definitely allow top blue-collar players like Clark to exert greater power.

Clark's strong performance also made Richard give up the idea of ​​trading him away.

Mainly because there is no need to trade now.

My goal this season is to lead the team to win the championship, and next season, my goal will definitely be to win the championship.

If Clark is retained, the chances of winning the championship will be greatly improved...

As for what happens after next season, Richard can't control too much. He may have to leave the Pistons after all. Clark's decision to stay will be left to his successor.

When Richard wanted to trade Clark before, it was because Richard wanted to maximize his profits.

But keeping Clark now is the most beneficial thing for Richard. Naturally, he has no idea of ​​trading Clark at the moment.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Time has entered mid-to-late March, and the Hall of Fame jury is about to release the final list of Hall of Famers.

Richard was not worried at all about Old Philip's selection. In his opinion, the momentum he had created at the beginning could not fail to work.

A few days later, Richard received a call from Philip Sr. He emotionally told Richard that he had been elected to the Hall of Fame.

Richard was startled. He didn't expect that this matter was notified in advance.

But now that I've been selected, it's just a formality.

According to the information Old Philip learned, he is the only coach in this class of Hall of Fame...

The meaning is self-evident. Larry Brown was dismissed, and Old Philip became the only head coach selected for this Hall of Fame.

A few days later, the Hall of Fame announced this year’s nominees.

There are only two players in total. One is Lakers star James Worthy, nicknamed "Big Game James".

Speaking of this nickname, it is actually more appropriate to translate it as big player James or big heart James...

This is a star of the top 50 in history, but many fans feel that Worthy is not qualified to be selected into the top 50. He is completely influenced by Magic Johnson...

Another player inducted into the Hall of Fame is Robert Parish, a famous Green Kai star, nicknamed the Chief.

He, McHale and Larry Bird formed the most powerful frontcourt lineup in the entire NBA history.

A Lakers star and a Green Kai star are all the players inducted into the Hall of Fame this year.

As for the coach, there is only one old Philip.

…

This result naturally made Richard quite satisfied. Old Philip was selected and Larry Brown was squeezed out. This was the situation that Richard wanted to see the most.

…

In the blink of an eye, time has entered April.

Tiana has left Detroit and stayed in Detroit for nearly a month. She has been living in Richard's residence and eating late-night snacks made by Richard all day long. She has gained a lot of weight...

Seeing that they were about to enter the playoffs, Tiana did not want to interfere with Richard's work, so she went home first and agreed to come back to Richard during the offseason...
