Bishop of the Devil

In recent years, under Laimbeer's coaching, the Bulls' record has been pretty good.

But in the playoffs, there has never been any breakthrough record. The best record is the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Under this circumstance, there is no guarantee that the Bulls management will lose patience with Laimbeer.

If Jay Williams is useless again...

Maybe Laimbeer has a good chance of being fired, after all, he was the one who brokered the deal.

Speaking of which, there is nothing wrong with Laimbeer's operation. The Bulls lack perimeter players, so it's not too surprising to replace a backup center with a potential perimeter player.

But this is the unlucky thing. Laimbeer can't decide who to replace. He has to replace Williams. Just after avoiding the big pit of Ricky Davis, he ran into Jay Williams again.

It is very likely that after next season, Laimbeer will have to pack up his gear and join Richard again...

Just like Cowens.

…

Ranbir was quite frightened by Richard's words.

He is still breaking out in a cold sweat when he thinks about Ricky Davis!

I think if I had signed Ricky Davis, I'm afraid I might have been Richard's assistant now!

That is to say, a veteran coach like Sloan is not very affected by this kind of thing and continues to coach the Jazz.

Ranbir doesn't have such a big face...

Now Richard's ambiguous words made Ranbir feel uneasy.

Throughout the game, Laimbeer kept frowning and didn't pay much attention to the situation on the court.

The Bulls' inside line, composed of Brand and Rasheed, is quite powerful.

But they are only strong on the offensive end. In terms of defense and rebounding, they are really not as good as the Yao-Ke combination.

Even Richard didn't use Clark much tonight, allowing Okur to play a lot of minutes.

Even so, the Bulls' awkward perimeter lineup was blown away by the Pistons.

Gerrard scored an astonishing 27 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks tonight, almost single-handedly destroying the Bulls' perimeter lineup.

Richard nodded secretly, Gerrard is really stable, his contribution on both offense and defense is very stable, such a player is definitely worthy of being reused.

…

Yao Ming didn't play much tonight. He played for about thirty minutes and got 21 points and 11 rebounds before Richard let him go.

Give Okur as many opportunities as possible to perform and try to fatten him up as early as possible.

In the end, Okur scored 19 points and 9 rebounds tonight, hitting three three-pointers.

If he continues to grow at this pace, Richard feels that he will definitely be able to sell Okur at a good price before the All-Star Game.

…

"I just received a 10,000-word letter of apology from that brat Jay Williams."

"I looked at it carefully, and the apology attitude was just okay. When we meet next time, that kid apologizes face to face, and I will forgive that kid!"

"Well, let's see who comes next."

"Well, what a coincidence, the Grizzlies' little Dunleavy happens to be the Grizzlies in the next game." Richard said with a slight smile.

The reporters in the audience shouted in their hearts, what a coincidence, you little mushroom, you have obviously prepared it a long time ago...

Before the last game against the Suns, Richard said the same thing.

As a result, Suns rookie Jacobsen sent a 10,000-word self-declaration.

Now it's time to beat the Grizzlies. Little Dunleavy's name is on the list, and Richard takes out the list again.

"I still say the same thing, don't take any chances, you are already on my list!"

"Little Dunleavy, I don't care who your father is. When you get to Detroit tomorrow, you must honestly give me a letter of apology!"

"Otherwise, even if you look good, your father won't be able to protect you!"

Richard sneered. Among the things on his list, the one he wanted to do the most was actually this little Dunleavy.

His father, Dunleavy, had always been at odds with him. Although there was no direct conflict, the old guy never gave Richard a smile when they met at some public events.

Now that his son Dunleavy Jr. is in his own hands, can Richard be spared? !

Richard could forgive Jacobson because this was just an insignificant role, and there was no point in playing this role.

No matter how good the key person is in admitting his mistake, there is really no need to chase after him.

As for Jay Williams, he has been rehabilitated and is now under Laimbeer's command. Laimbeer even begged for mercy, and Richard was too embarrassed to continue pursuing the case.

Now it's time for little Dunleavy. It doesn't matter whether this guy writes a review or not, Richard is going to mess with this guy anyway.

…

Richard's words were quite cruel, and reporters had already begun to observe a moment of silence for little Dunleavy.

However, they didn't know about the bad relationship between Richard and Old Dunleavy. This kind of thing was not made public. I'm afraid only a few insiders could see the incompatibility between the two.

Now reporters are just wondering how Richard will punish young Dunleavy, because it seems unlikely that young Dunleavy will write a review.

Even if little Dunleavy doesn't want to lose face, his father still has to save face...

If he really writes a review to Richard, it will not only bring shame to little Dunleavy's people.

Because Richard said, "Your father can't protect you!"

This is tantamount to Chi Guoguo provoking old Dunleavy, so it is impossible for young Dunleavy to give in to Richard.

Since you don't give in, it will be fun to watch...

…

The Grizzlies also have a game tonight, playing away in Los Angeles.

After returning to the hotel, little Dunleavy learned the news and was immediately furious!

He immediately called his father, Dunleavy, to discuss countermeasures. After all, this was no small matter.

"Did that kid really say that?" Old Dunleavy was also stunned. He didn't expect Richard to openly break up with him.

He and Richard only tacitly disliked each other, but now Richard was almost directly provoking the conflict.

"I want to see what he can do to you!"

…

After hanging up the phone, Dunleavy stayed awake all night, thinking about the back-to-back games against the Pistons tomorrow night.

He doesn't know how Richard will deal with him now, but he knows very well that Richard will never let him go.

In the next game, I must be as careful as possible.

It's not like he didn't know about Richard's vicious reputation. It would be terrible if the opponent got tough and made the players do evil things to him.

But he felt that Richard would not do such a thing.

…

Early the next morning, Dunleavy Sr. was on television.

What Richard said at the press conference last night made fans want to see what the attitude of old Dunleavy is.

"Damn Richard, what little Mike said is absolutely right. He is a guy who got to the position by luck."

During the live TV broadcast, Old Dunleavy was blushing and roaring angrily.

Old Dunleavy is not a good-tempered scholar. He is a coach with a very loud voice. He can often be seen standing on the sidelines with a red neck and yelling at players or opponents, and maybe even at the referee.

This is a real redneck…

"Richard is a rude villain, he shouldn't be in this league!"

"He is just a barbarian! A barbarian who only knows how to use dirty tricks to do evil things!"

"If he doesn't use dirty tricks and tricks, he won't count as anything. A championship? It would be great if he can make it to the playoffs!"

Old Dunleavy is trying his best to belittle Richard...

Of course, his words also meant a bit of provocation. After all, he didn't want his son to get hurt, so he quickly stimulated Richard to prevent Richard from actually doing something dirty to little Dunleavy.

He felt that if Richard wanted to mess with his son, he would only have to resort to evil tactics.

After watching TV, old Dunleavy didn't have the heart to start today's work, just waiting for the start of tonight's game.

At the moment, Dunleavy Sr. is not coaching in the league, but he is also an insider and serves as the general manager of the Bucks.

He has been doing this job for some years...

First, Richard robbed him of the opportunity to be the coach of the Trail Blazers. Second, Richard led the team to beat the Bucks to the largest point difference in history. Third, Clark's incident showed that he, the general manager, was blind.

Thinking about so many things combined, old Dunleavy had enough reasons to hate Richard.

…

In the game against the Grizzlies that night, what everyone didn't expect was that the Pistons didn't seem to have any thoughts about Dunleavy Jr. On the court, it was Nocioni who habitually gave Dunleavy a flying kick, and then nothing happened. Nothing more...

There is no such thing as a dangerous gangster!

Of course, there must still be tight defense. Dunleavy enjoyed Clark's full care tonight and only scored a pitiful four points in the game.

This is a bit strange. Richard has changed his gender? Why didn't you watch him kill little Dunleavy?

Could it be said that Richard gave in?

Afraid of revenge from Dunleavy Sr.?

It's impossible to think about it. A master like Richard who is not afraid of anything, let alone an old Dunleavy with no interests. Even Stern has never seen Richard afraid.

eccentric!

It's really weird...

At the post-game press conference, countless reporters crowded into the Pistons' press conference. They wanted to get first-hand answers from Richard!

Why would such an incomprehensible situation happen? The reporters like me waited all night, but nothing happened.

"Coach Richard, ahem, congratulations on winning the game tonight, but..." The reporter hesitated.

Originally, he wanted to ask you, Ya Ting, why you didn't do something dirty to little Dunleavy? We waited all night in vain.

If we had known that there would be no excitement, we wouldn't have come today...

Many of these reporters made a special trip from other cities, just waiting to cover the excitement tonight.

"But what?"

"Are you curious why I let little Dunleavy go so easily?" Richard asked with a frown.

The reporters nodded one after another, isn't that what it was about...

"Why……"

Richard let out a long sigh.

This sighing sound confused the reporters. Why did Devil Richard sigh when he was so good?

"Hey, actually tonight is the first time I paid close attention to little Dunleavy. I had seen little Dunleavy before at the draft, but the distance was too far and I couldn't see clearly."

"Tonight I really saw it clearly. I really can't bear to hurt this poor little guy."

Richard's words confused the reporters. What's going on? !

You called him a little brat last night and said his father couldn't protect him. Why are you calling him a pitiful little guy tonight?

"You must all know about Ricky Davis."

"To be honest tonight, I was really prepared to do something that I wouldn't tell anyone about, but after seeing little Dunleavy, I gave up the idea."

"He will make the same mistake as Ricky Davis in the next few years. Hey, tell me, in this case, how can I be cruel to this poor little guy."

"His career may only last the last two or three years..."
