Bishop of the Devil

Richard read out a long list of names, all of them rubbish? !

The reporters were all dumbfounded now, waiting blankly for Richard to continue speaking.

Seeing that the reporters stopped asking questions, Richard started talking directly to himself.

"Teams take note, teams take note!"

"The rookie players whose names I read above are all under surveillance. Don't let me, Richard, catch you!"

"I just don't understand, what's wrong with this alliance?! Don't these brats even know how to respect the youngest?!"

Like a dean, Richard scolded the newcomers on the list and asked their parents to take good care of them.

Upon hearing this, the reporters in the audience were speechless...

Richard, do you have the nerve to say this? When you first entered the league, weren't you a newcomer? I don’t even care about you respecting your elders...

Is Larry Brown old enough? As a result, I can't take care of myself after being criticized by you.

The two veterans of Utah were also made miserable by you. They played in the game for more than ten years and didn't even touch the floor of the finals!

Now you, Richard, have the nerve to ask what happened to the alliance? What else can happen...

The atmosphere of this alliance was ruined by you, Richard!

…

"I don't want to say anything unnecessary. Anyway, these brats disappoint me!"

"I, Richard, have always respected those senior coaches or players. This is something everyone knows!"

"I never expected that after I reached the senior level, a bunch of brats would contradict me. I really can't tolerate it!"

Richard slapped the table and said indignantly.

The reporters even had the urge to vomit blood. They finally saw Richard's face as thick as a city wall.

Have you, Richard, always respected seniority? Is it still known to everyone?

Good guy, are these reporters at the scene not human? Anyway, they don’t know about this...

…

When the press conference ended, the reporters had only one thought in their minds.

That is, the face of a politician is nothing. Compared with Richard, it is as thin as white paper.

…

Tonight is the Pistons' second game of the regular season. Their opponent is not a strong team like the 76ers, but the famous and super-powerful Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.

The knights were really miserable. Because of Richard, they were even more miserable than normal.

Under normal circumstances, the Cavaliers' lineup this season can still be seen. The team has Ricky Davis, Big Z and Boozer.

Although the record is extremely rubbish, at least the lineup can still be seen...

But with Ricky Davis being eliminated by Richard, and Boozer being robbed by Richard, the Cavaliers' current lineup is completely hopeless.

Right now, they only have two capable players on their team, one is Big Z and the other is Harrington.

In the original trade with the Trail Blazers, the Cavaliers traded two first-round picks for Harrington from the Trail Blazers.

Apart from these two people, there is no knight who can fight...

In tonight's game, no one thinks the Cavaliers can beat the Pistons, but there are things worth paying attention to in this game.

That is the showdown between Yao Ming and Big Z.

Yao Ming's previous draft template was Schmitz, but in Richard's view, this draft template was not accurate. After all, Yao Ming's defense was better than Schmitz.

Anyway, the draft template should not be taken too seriously, it can only be used as a reference...

You must know that Stoudemire's template before the draft was Ben Wallace, which almost made Richard laugh to death.

…

To be honest, the playing styles of Yao Ming and Big Z are almost exactly the same.

It's as if they were carved from the same mold.

Both of them are over 220 centimeters tall, making them super tall centers.

Speaking of which, Big Z can also use Papa Jia’s Sky Hook props...

In addition to their height, both of them have a soft touch. They are both top among inside players in free throw shooting. They are both offensive and defensive players. Their rebounding ability is not too strong. They both have physical problems and their ability to resist injuries. Neither is strong.

After these two retired, their jerseys were retired by their respective teams...

Of course, in terms of overall strength, Yao Ming is definitely better than Big Z, but the technical and tactical characteristics are exactly the same.

Yao Ming can be said to be an enhanced version of the yellow big Z.

At present, Big Z is also one of the top-paid insiders in the league. He is also ranked among the top insiders in the league. Fans want to know what kind of data Yao Ming can produce in front of Big Z!

After all, in the first game against the 76ers, the 76ers' inside line was really not that strong.

In this case, it is the Cavaliers who are relatively poor, who can better detect Yao Ming's gold content.

…

"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the Pistons' second game of the regular season began.

It was still the home court of the Pistons, and the Palace of Auburn Hills was filled with fans who came to watch the game.

Yao Ming's physical fitness has improved a lot in all aspects. He naturally has a huge advantage when facing Big Z's jump ball.

In the Pistons' first offensive round, Nash passed a lob again, preparing for Yao Ming to hit Big Z in the paint.

Maybe it was Carlisle's strategy in the last game that made the Cavaliers want to follow suit. After watching Yao Ming catch the ball, Big Z started to squeeze Yao Ming, trying to squeeze Yao Ming out of the basket with his own strength.

In any case, Big Z has been in the league for a few years, and he is definitely much better than the current Yao Ming in terms of strength.

If Yao Ming is squeezed out of the basket, I'm afraid the offensive efficiency will definitely not be too high.

Fortunately, Coolie Clark came to Yao Ming's rescue at this time. He relied on his strong body to directly entangle with Big Z.

Yao Ming also took this opportunity. After receiving the pass from Nash, he stepped to the basket, stood on tiptoes and dunked successfully.

In this offensive round, the Pistons played very smartly. Clark gave full play to his role as a coolie power forward and created a comfortable dunk opportunity for Yao Ming.

Richard sat in the audience and nodded with satisfaction. Clark still had a good eye. He could take the initiative to do the work he was supposed to do on the court without Richard's instructions.

In the last game, Yao Ming performed extremely well, with super debut statistics of 30+15.

Clark's performance was also remarkable, recording a double-double of 14 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

If he can maintain this kind of data, there is no doubt that he will definitely be a top-paid inside player in three years.

Even if Richard doesn't give him the maximum salary, other teams will offer him the maximum salary immediately.

Now Clark can see the situation quite clearly, and there is no need for him to have the idea of ​​competing with Yao Ming.

Because it is impossible to compete...

Even a fool can see that Richard attaches great importance to Yao Ming. It can even be said that this Pistons team is completely built with Yao Ming as its absolute core.

Clark has no doubt that if he dares to cause trouble for Richard, he may lose his starting position in the Pistons.

Now Clark has only one idea, and that is to assist Yao Ming on the court and make Richard realize that he has a positive role in Yao Ming's growth.

In this way, he can keep his starting position and ensure enough playing time to produce big data that will earn him a maximum salary in the future.

I have to say that Clark has become enlightened after quitting drinking, and he is much smarter.

In the Pistons' offensive round just now, if Clark hadn't helped Yao Ming get stuck, with Yao Ming's current strength, it would be difficult to find a comfortable shooting point under Big Z's defense.

It is very likely that he will take a mid-range shot out of desperation. Although it is still accurate, it is definitely not as simple and crisp as a dunk.

"Well done! Clark!" Richard stood on the sidelines and yelled at Clark.

This compliment made Clark feel happy. It seemed that he was right.

If he assists Yao Ming well, his position in the Pistons will be stable...

He has an inexplicable belief in Richard's ability. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Pistons are gradually on the right track and may be qualified to compete for the championship in the next two years.

If he gets a championship ring during his three-year contract, and then signs a maximum salary contract when the contract ends, then Clark feels that he will have no regrets in his career.

No matter what I say, I have been the number one center in the Eastern Conference for a while!

I have been the No. 1 center, won a championship, and signed a maximum salary contract. What regrets can there be in such a career?

Thinking of this, Clark worked even harder to block Yao Ming's position on the court.

…

The Cavaliers are quite embarrassed now, because they only have one big Z in the team who can effectively limit Yao Ming. How can Harrington at the power forward position guard Yao Ming?

Harrington himself is not a player who is good at defense, he is strong on the offensive end...

Moreover, his height and strength are destined to be difficult to block Yao Ming's dunks at the basket.

After the first three minutes were played, the Cavaliers showed signs of being beaten. The point difference between the two sides had already reached 8 points.

After the opening score of 10:2, Cavaliers head coach John Lucas grinned anxiously on the sidelines.

The Pistons were blown away by the Pistons at the beginning. How will they fight next?

Originally, he thought that Big Z could restrain Yao Ming very well, but he couldn't resist the fact that there was a fat and strong guard with a knife beside Yao Ming, who frantically helped Yao Ming get stuck, so that Big Z could not pose much threat to Yao Ming at all.

Only three minutes into the game, Yao Ming was already 4-for-4 and scored 8 points!

All four dunks were successful, leaving Lucas feeling breathless.

How to fight this? !

Pistons fans stood up and cheered crazily for Yao Ming. He hit four consecutive dunks in the opening game and led the team to a small climax in the opening game. This No. 1 pick is incredible!

This champion has something!

Among the 10 points scored, the remaining two points were scored by Gerrard's breakthrough...

Nash has not taken a single shot since the start of the game, but he has received four assists.

Speaking of which, Nash didn't expect that assists would be so simple. Basically, when the ball was in Yao Ming's hands, he could easily get an assist.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not a problem at all to squeeze out Kidd for the honor of assists this year.

…

After half the game, the Cavaliers only scored six points.

Big Z was annoyed by Clark. In his opinion, Clark was just a troublemaker, and he couldn't live in peace if he caused trouble.

The key is that there is nothing I can do against Clark. His physical fitness is completely suppressed by Clark...

Attack around the basket? No way, Clark stood up to Big Z and didn't give Big Z a chance to make a move comfortably.

Long shot? There was no way, Big Z's long shot was directly blocked by Clark.

This resulted in Big Z not scoring a point and making 0 of 3 shots in the first six minutes.

All the points scored by the Cavaliers were actually scored by Harrington after he stretched out to the outside...

On the other hand, the Pistons scored 17 points after half a quarter.

Nash casually hit a three-pointer, and Yao Ming scored consecutive points under the basket.

In just six minutes, Yao Ming already scored 12 points!

Everyone was frightened by Yao Ming tonight. You must know that this was a 6-for-6 shooting rate and 12 points!
