Bishop of the Devil

At noon the next day, Richard took the Blazers to the hotel where Olshey changed.

What made Richard secretly shocked was that Olshey took this matter seriously and even brought the team's security.

"It's not necessary, Orsi, is it really that serious?" Richard asked, dumbfounded.

"It's necessary, Li. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. You still have to be careful!" Orsi said solemnly.

He, the team's president of basketball affairs, has now transformed into the team's security captain...

"Okay, did you hear me? Big Ben, please watch carefully and don't let them go out and fool around at night!"

"Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I still want to go out and have a good meal at night!"

Richard naturally wanted to support Olshey's work, so he turned to the team captain Ben and said.

Ben, Orsi and others looked embarrassed. Didn't Richard know? !

"Ahem, Li..."

"It seems like there's nothing wrong with Ben and the others. The main thing is you. It's you that the Los Angeles fans hate, and it's you that they threaten..." Olshey said in pain.

These words made Richard dumbfounded...

Are these fans targeting you? ! What a joke, I’ve never heard of it!

The targets of the fans' threats should not be the players, especially core players such as Ben, O'Neill, and Nowitzki, who have something to do with themselves as the head coach.

If he doesn't play on the court, what's the point of threatening himself, the head coach.

And I really can’t figure out how a good young man with a big (powerful) mind could offend these Los Angeles fans...

"Are you kidding me? Why are they targeting me as a coach?"

"Are you kidding me?" Richard didn't believe it.

Olsi, Daben and others all rolled their eyes. Why are they targeting you? Do you really not know...

Perhaps in the eyes of Los Angeles fans, Richard is the biggest obstacle on their way to winning the championship!

Think about the Blazers who didn't have Richard before, and they were really nothing compared to the Lakers.

But now this Blazers have been turned into the Lakers' nemesis by Richard...

They fans don't hate Richard.

"Okay, then I won't go out, so I'd better be careful..." Richard said speechlessly.

Even Los Angeles, in Richard's opinion, is not very safe.

There is a type of people in the United States who are really lawless. If Richard goes out by himself, he might really get into trouble.

…

During the rest that night, Ben said that he would sleep in the same room with Richard, which almost made Richard collapse.

The whole night, he couldn't sleep due to Ben's loud snoring!

He didn't close his eyes for a whole night, and Richard even had the urge to suffocate Ben with a pillow...

…

By the early morning of the next day, Richard had panda eyes and was exhausted. He only felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Many people have this problem. When they don't get enough rest, they will feel nauseated.

Daben slept very soundly. As a big guy like him, he definitely didn't notice Richard's sallow complexion.

…

In the restaurant in the hotel, Olshey did not let the players go out for breakfast, but settled it in the hotel. This would save one thing and one thing. If there was any friction with someone outside the hotel, it would be troublesome.

Richard sat down at the dining table, and Ben and Xiao Ao came over.

He was really sleepy, he didn't sleep a wink all night, and his face didn't look good.

The two big bosses, Big Ben and Little O, didn't notice Richard's fatigue. They chatted happily, and the content was nothing more than asking Little O to win the finals MVP this year.

Richard glanced at Ben fiercely, this guy is so energetic...

It's no wonder that this guy fell asleep within three seconds of going to bed last night, and then started to snore the next second. It's no wonder that he didn't sleep well!

But I was miserable, and now I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Richard took a hard bite of the toast in his hand.

Perhaps because he was too tired, Richard bit the tip of his tongue directly with this bite...

"Ah..." He cried out in pain.

Richard only felt why he was so unlucky...

Blood began to ooze from the tip of his tongue, and Richard screamed in pain.

Ben and Xiao Ao looked at Richard with wide eyes, extremely worried.

"Coach! What's wrong with you?!"

"What's going on, coach, why are you vomiting blood?!"

The two were frightened...

Richard pointed at the toast in his hand, feeling so painful that he couldn't speak.

…

Da Ben is anxious...

"Boom..." This violent guy overturned the table with a slap!

Then he jumped on the chair and roared!

"Everyone, please stop fucking eating, breakfast is poisonous!"

The whole audience was shocked...

Is breakfast poisonous? ! Have Los Angeles fans gone so crazy?

Looking at Richard vomiting blood with a painful look on his face, everyone panicked.

Richard was startled by Da Ben. After hearing Da Ben's roar, he even felt the urge to vomit blood...

Your sister is poisonous!

I just bit the tip of my tongue...

…

Orsi went crazy and ran to Richard with the security guard, pretending to take Richard to the hospital for gastric lavage.

Richard almost cried...

I have offended someone, am I going to leave the Trail Blazers? Even God can't bear to torture myself like this.

After a while, Richard's pain dissipated a lot, and he was finally able to speak.

"It's okay, I... bit... my tongue!"

puff……

The whole audience vomited blood, and the restaurant manager stared at Ben with murderous eyes.

Good guy, I almost scared him to death just now...

Da Ben was also dumbfounded. He bit his tongue and was not poisoned.

It seems that I am really too nervous. I have been worried about Richard being killed since yesterday.

"It's okay if it's okay, haha, it's okay if it's okay!"

"I'll pay for the smashed things..." Daben scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed naively.

Now the restaurant manager just wants to take a broom and sweep out Big Ben.

What the hell is going on...

It's so scary so early in the morning!

…

In the afternoon, Richard held another meeting with the team members and then attended the pre-game press conference.

After all, this is a life-or-death situation for the Lakers, and the leaders of both sides must stand up and say something.

The Lakers didn't dare to say anything harsh, they just said they would play hard and try to keep this home court.

How could they say harsh words now? They were in a life and death situation, and they might be slapped in the face after saying harsh words.

As for Richard, he is not interested in stimulating the Lakers. He just wants to finish today's game quickly and then have a good sleep...

…

At eight o'clock in the evening, players from both sides began to enter the stadium.

When the Trail Blazers players entered the venue, there were crazy boos...

However, the boos from Ben and the others were acceptable. When Richard came on the stage, the entire Staples Arena seemed to be shaken by an earthquake.

The fans were no longer satisfied with the boos. Many of them were like scolding shrews, jumping around and scolding Richard.

Quite rhythmic...

Richard is so sleepy now that he has no energy to deal with these people.

"Having played so many games with the Lakers, I'm afraid I know exactly what routine to use when fighting!"

"Assistant Zhang, you will be responsible for arranging the troops in a moment..."

Everyone was dumbfounded, what do you mean? How could Zhang Weiping arrange his troops so smoothly?

Although it doesn't matter who will arrange the lineup, after all, the two sides are old rivals, and various situations have happened on the court. Not to mention Zhang Weiping, if it is a player from the Trail Blazers, he can also arrange the lineup well.

Come up and start the starting lineup first, then wait for the time to cut the shark, and then make substitutions to cut the shark.

In the first half, Lewis and Curry were used, and in the second half, Kirilenko and Ricky Davis were used.

After O'Neal comes off the court, try your best to grab points...

Anyway, it’s this routine, and everyone is already familiar with it!

But even if everyone knows this routine, it is weird enough for Richard to ask Zhang Weiping to arrange the troops...

"Coach, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ben asked with concern.

"Nonsense, it's no wonder I feel comfortable, I'm going to be sleepy to death!"

"If I fall asleep in a while, I'm not falling behind. Don't call me!"

"I hope I can see a victory when I wake up!"

Richard rolled his eyes at Ben...

…

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

The starting lineup sent by the Trail Blazers is Ou, Big Ben, Nowitzki, Artest and Baron Davis.

This is Richard's usual starting lineup when playing against the Lakers. Naturally, Zhang Weiping cannot make changes on his own initiative.

Whatever lineup Richard uses, he will use that lineup...

…

At the beginning of the game, it was the Blazers' offensive ball again, and it was Baron Davis who beat Fisher, and the Bearded man passed the ball to the old driver, who hit a three-pointer.

After the Lakers' offensive round, Kobe responded directly with a three-pointer!

Not to mention, Kobe seemed to have a very good touch today. He hit two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, giving the Lakers some advantages at the beginning!

The entire Staples Arena is in a state of excitement. This game is exciting and can be won!

All the fans looked at the Trail Blazers' bench. They now wanted to see Richard's wonderful expression when the Trail Blazers fell behind.

anger? !

despair? !

disappointment? !

Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be the case...

This guy was lying on his chair sideways with his eyes closed, as if he wasn't paying attention to the game on the court at all!

This guy is actually "closing his eyes and concentrating"!

A few fans had an idea that made them feel ridiculous. Could it be that Richard, the villain leader, fell asleep on the sidelines...

But thinking about it, it seems unlikely!

Are you kidding? This is the Western Conference Finals!

The Western Conference finals can even be regarded as the finals. Even if Richard's heart is as big as the Pacific Ocean, he probably can't fall asleep, right?

…

These fans really underestimated Richard's big heart!

At this moment, Richard is really asleep...

Richard has always believed in a saying that coaches in competitive circles often say.

Tactically, we value our opponents, but strategically, we despise them!

In terms of tactics, Richard must have attached great importance to the Lakers. Now he has figured out a set of exclusive tactics to beat the Lakers. This can be said to attach great importance to the Lakers.

For example, the Spurs are actually the same. Richard also figured out the tactics of implementing a wheel battle against Duncan based on the situation of the Trail Blazers...

It can be seen that Richard attaches great importance to his opponents tactically!

But strategically, Richard despised them, didn't take them too seriously, and had strong confidence to win them...

Now that Richard can sleep peacefully, it is a manifestation of his contempt for the Lakers.

The tactics have been arranged, and I have paid enough attention to you Lakers. Now it is my turn, Richard, to despise you...

…

Of course, these are secondary. The reason why Richard is actually falling asleep right now is that he is too sleepy.

He hadn't slept for more than thirty hours, and the heating in the arena was very strong. As soon as Richard closed his eyes, he fell asleep...

…

Kobe's touch didn't last long. When O'Neal came off the court, Kobe's touch was gone. The Trail Blazers directly smoothed the point difference and gained some advantages by the way.

At the end of the first quarter, tens of thousands of fans and Lakers generals at the scene suddenly discovered something...

That is Trail Blazers head coach Richard...

He was so fucking asleep!

If he just closed his eyes and meditated, how could he explain the drooling at the corner of his mouth? !

If he was just closing his eyes and concentrating, how could he explain that he was almost sliding to the floor while reclining on the chair!

Throughout the first quarter of the game, Richard never opened his eyes. Zhang Weiping was always in charge of calling timeouts and making substitutions!

This is not falling asleep...

The most important thing is that he slept so damn soundly, farted, snored and drooled, no less!

…

After the entire Staples Arena realized this, they fell into a brief silence.

They only have one feeling now, that is, Richard, the devil, has gone too far!

It's really too much!

This is an insult to the Lakers Chi Guoguo...

If I beat you Lakers, I could win even in my sleep!

Thinking of this, the Lakers fans went crazy, and the overwhelming sound came towards Richard.

Richard was so shocked that he half-opened his eyes and realized that the first quarter was over. He glanced at the scoreboard and saw that the Blazers were leading by three points...

Then……

Just fell asleep again!

No matter how much the Lakers fans yelled, howled, and howled, Richard seemed to have burped his fart, didn't react at all, and continued to sleep soundly.

…

The pioneer generals couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw Richard's sleeping posture.

How big of a heart does this coach have to sleep so soundly at this moment...

However, they felt that this was enough to prove Richard's trust in them. If he didn't trust them, Richard would definitely not be able to sleep like this right now.

Da Ben went up and wiped Richard's saliva.

Xiao Ao helped Richard back to the chair to prevent him from actually sliding to the floor...

If Zhang Weiping hadn't stepped forward to test Richard's breathing and found that he was still panting, these people would probably have thought that Richard had burped!

Lakers fans almost rioted after seeing the "loving" behavior of the Trail Blazers master and apprentice!

This is simply unbearable. You Blazers villains are definitely going to make us Lakers angry to death!

…

In the second quarter of the game, Zhang Weiping continued to implement Richard's tactics.

As a result, Richard's "provocation" brought the entire Lakers to the brink of collapse...

This kind of insult caused by sleeping on the sidelines is more devastating than the most vicious trash talk!

Jackson Jackson and O'Neal were going crazy. If they had guns in their hands, they would definitely stand on this side of the court and shoot Richard on the other side of the court without hesitation!

As for Kobe, he is already crazy right now...

…

In a devastated mood, the Lakers players performed very poorly in the second quarter, almost always missing shots!

What was originally a weak lead, by the end of the second quarter, directly opened up to a double-digit point difference.

Zhang Weiping couldn't laugh or cry, and dared to sleep on the sidelines with Richard. It could also have this effect and stimulate the opponent's emotions. This effect is definitely far better than the most vicious trash talk.

…

"Coach, wake up!"

"Coach, the first half is over, it's time to go back to the locker room..."

Everyone surrounded Richard and yelled, finally waking him up.

Richard stared in confusion, "Is the game over? How many points did you win?"

"Not yet, just finished the first half..."

"Coach, how about we go back to the locker room first, and you sleep in the locker room for a while..."

Everyone helped Richard back to the locker room, but he continued to doze off.

…

The Blazers generals even considered whether to leave Richard in the locker room...

But this is definitely not possible. Richard has not been ejected. As the head coach of the Trail Blazers, he must appear on the sidelines.

There was no other way. After the intermission, several people carried Richard back to the sidelines...

Lakers fans are already jumping up and down with anger, they simply can't bear it!

This damn Richard is totally teasing them Lakers...

Jackson's face turned red with anger. As the most successful head coach in the league today, Richard insulted him like this. He was completely jealous of Richard!

If Richard knew what Zen Master was thinking, he would probably be quite helpless...

I am really sleepy, but I have never thought of insulting the Lakers in this way!

…

The Lakers players were so stimulated that they collapsed emotionally, and Zen Master was trembling with anger. In such a state, it was surprising that they could play well in the second half...

…

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

In the Lakers' life-and-death game, the Trail Blazers beat the Lakers by 22 points and gave the Lakers a disastrous defeat at the Lakers' home court!

Big Ben and others hurriedly carried Richard back to the locker room. At tonight's press conference, seeing that Richard couldn't wake up, Zhang Weiping simply participated in it instead.

…

It was not until early the next morning that Richard finally had enough sleep.

He was confused last night and must have known that the team won, but he didn't know how much...

Anyway, just win!

The next step is to play in the finals. The opponent is either Green Kai or the 76ers.

Anyway, this year's championship should be confirmed...

Thinking of this, Richard became energetic and prepared to drive back to Portland.

…

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Kobe, who was chatting with Ben.

"Coach, are you awake?" Kobe asked in pain.

From Ben's mouth, he knew why Richard slept on the sidelines last night, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

This time in the Western Conference Finals, although we still lost in the end...

But at least there is improvement compared to last season!

Last season, they were eliminated 4:1, but this season they won one more game and got a big score of 4:2.

Kobe can only comfort himself now, just make progress...

Maybe in two or three more seasons, we can kill the Blazers led by Richard!

Anyway, he and O'Neal still have quite a few years left in their contracts, enough to spend with Richard.
