Bishop of the Devil

Harris will not sympathize with Rasheed, and Rasheed certainly does not need Harris's sympathy.

If you screw yourself this time, you can regain your position next time. This is real competition.

In the same way, does O'Neal need Richard's sympathy? It's definitely not necessary. He wants to strangle Richard to death now...

…

After O'Neal came off the court, the Lakers were almost in chaos, and Campbell was temporarily assigned to the center position.

Big Ben can't get the Sharks, but he's still a little bit sure of getting Campbell.

And without O'Neal in the Lakers' interior, the Lakers' efficiency in breaking through and passing the ball in the backcourt has become worse. They can't separate when they break in, so they can only carry a bunch of tall men under the basket to take shots...

…

Not long after the fourth quarter started, the Lakers were tied by the Trail Blazers!

And Horry's value continued to show, and Rasheed was expelled from the game again...

In one game, two core players of the team were expelled, and it was not because of a large-scale brawl. Such a situation has never happened in NBA history!

The fans naturally applauded loudly for Rashid's expulsion!

After two games, Rashid already has four technical fouls in hand, and he won't be suspended for long!

If the frequency of two technical fouls in each game continues in the next two games, Rashid will be suspended in G5...

Without Rasheed, the Trail Blazers are like a tiger missing a leg. Although they still have fighting ability, they are far inferior to the deep-sea shark of the Lakers.

…

When the game ended, the Trail Blazers narrowly won again.

This time they narrowly won by two points. If Sabonis hadn't stabilized the morale at the last minute and beat Campbell with a 2+1 under the basket, I'm afraid the Blazers might have lost this game...

…

Won again...

This ending surprised everyone, even Richard. He actually didn't expect to win two games against the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs!

Originally, Richard estimated that they might lose the Lakers' two home games...

Then try your best to keep the Trail Blazers' two home games and strive for a decisive battle with the Lakers in G5!

But now we started with a big score of 2:0 and directly got the match point in the first round of the playoffs, which is undoubtedly quite unexpected...

What a surprise.

Richard felt that God was really on the side of their pioneers this time.

In the first game, the Lakers' backcourt performance was quite poor, which led to O'Neal scoring such explosive statistics and failing to win the game...

In the second game, O'Neal was ejected almost at halftime, giving the Trail Blazers a good chance to counterattack, and finally narrowly won.

It can be said that if he had to do it over again, Richard would feel that if he had to do it over dozens or hundreds of times, he might be able to start another double-killing of the Lakers...

It was a fluke.

very lucky.

The Lakers fans at the scene couldn't sit still. Are you kidding me? !

This season, they are still counting on O'Neal to lead the Lakers to defeat the Jazz, and then go to compete with the Bulls...

Now being double-killed by the Trail Blazers at the start? !

The Trail Blazers' record this season is indeed somewhat beyond fans' expectations, but will Lakers fans take the Trail Blazers seriously?

Obviously not. In the eyes of Lakers fans, the Trail Blazers are the grindstone for their Lakers promotion...

He was their warm-up partner for the first round of the playoffs.

As a result, now this sparring partner directly double-killed the main player, which the fans will definitely not accept.

The Trail Blazers have already got the match point. In the next three games, the Trail Blazers can eliminate the Lakers even if they win just one game. It can be said that the Lakers are now standing on the edge of the cliff...

"Black whistle!"

"Shameless Richard!"

"This shameless team of yours will never win a championship!"

"Just wait for Shaq and the others to massacre your home court..."

When Richard led the team back to the locker room, the fans on both sides of the aisle roared wildly.

With a smile on his face, Richard looked at the fans in the aisles on both sides of the aisle...

His smile made the Lakers fans even more angry. It seemed like he was a villain.

Richard was indeed happy. He didn't pay attention to the clamor of the Lakers home fans at all. On the contrary, the feeling of irritating the opponent's fans was quite good...

Shameless? You Lakers are shameless first, but your Lakers head coach Harris is not shameless enough...

…

At the press conference after the game, the smile on Richard's face never stopped.

Really happy.

A double win over the Lakers in the opening game was a happy result that Richard had never imagined. How could he be unhappy?

"Coach Li, I heard that you gave Nicholson the middle finger and said the F word after the game. Is this true?" A reporter stood up and asked.

No need to guess, this reporter is definitely a local reporter in Los Angeles.

"That's right, I raised the eyebrow twice and said the F word more than ten times..." Richard said with a smile.

It was impossible for Richard to deny this matter, because there were cameras at the scene, and many reporters took pictures of Richard raising his middle finger...

I simply admitted it openly, it was not a big deal anyway.

The reporters all rolled their eyes. Sure enough, he admitted it so straightforwardly. It was really Richard's personal style.

"As far as I know, the old Nicholson is a very respected fan. He has watched football at Staples Center for so many years. No other coach or team has ever done such a thing to him. Disrespectful things.”

"Mr. Richard, can you give Lakers fans an explanation as to why you did this?"

This local reporter from Los Angeles obviously came with bad intentions.

The image of the old Nicholson was deliberately elevated, and it was clear that no one had ever disrespected the old Nicholson. This was to prepare Richard to become a public enemy...

At least it's the public enemy of Los Angeles.

"Oh? Mr. Cat Shit, are you so respected in Los Angeles?"

"Whether other teams respect him or not, what does it have to do with me, Richard?"

"I, Richard, am not a lunatic. If he had not provoked me, I would have given him the middle finger when I was full. Why don't you go ask Mr. Cat Shit what he said at that time?"

"It's not a good habit to rely on your old age and sell your old age..."

"When I get older, if I do something like this, please feel free to give me the middle finger..."

Richard said slowly and calmly.

The reporters in the audience had their eyes bulging out, Mr. Cat Shit? If you don't know the old Nicholson, you may not know what this is talking about...

Nicholson Sr. previously starred in a movie called "Mr. Cat Shit."

But no one has ever called him Mr. Cat Shit. This is the first time for Richard...

This is like Feng Dagang once taught me that I am Pan Jinlian, and you give people the nickname Pan Jinlian...

Now the reporters just want to tell Richard, can you please stop giving random nicknames, especially such disgusting nicknames?
