Bishop of the Devil

Clark has an identity...

He is the second-oldest player on this Pistons team!

That's right, although Clark is also a young player, he is really the oldest player besides Nash in this new Pistons team.

Entering the league in 1998, Clark is now in his fifth season of career.

As for the other Pistons players, except for Nash, most of them are newcomers in the past two years.

As a veteran player, Clark is strict with himself in everything. On weekdays, whenever a new member of the team needs help, Clark will always appear immediately.

When Yao Ming moved before, Clark drove the car to help him move.

He regards himself as a big brother in the Pistons, just like the role Ben played in the Trail Blazers.

Ben's deeds in the Trail Blazers are definitely familiar to Clark. When he didn't play for Richard, he had imagined this scenario countless times.

I am playing under Richard, and the newcomer on the field is bullied. What will I do?

What else could be done? Just follow the example of Da Ben, just wave your fist and do it!

Stoudemire's previous roars gave Clark the urge to deal with Stoudemire, but Stoudemire was not particularly excessive. After all, the iron-blooded mid-range shot was not Stoudemire's original creation.

But now after docking Yao Ming, Clark couldn't stand it at all when he said such words to Yao Ming.

With top physical fitness, he rushed with all his strength and swung a super punch towards Stoudemire's head.

There is no doubt that if this punch had been hit by Clark, Stoudemire would have suffered a moderate concussion at the very least!

But Stoudemire's reaction ability was not impeccable. At the critical moment, he turned his head to avoid this fatal punch.

But the head avoided it, but the body didn’t!

Clark's punch hit Stoudemire directly on the left chest...

"Son of a bitch!"

"Open your dog eyes and look, this is the Palace of Auburn Hills!"

"This is not a place for you to act wild!"

After Clark succeeded in punching him, he looked like a mad tiger and roared crazily at Stoudemire.

This punch hit Stoudemire directly on the left side of his chest. For a moment, he was out of breath, clutching his chest and looking painful.

Faced with Clark's roar, Stoudemire had no energy to fight back.

…

The sudden boxing incident made everyone at the scene feel a little stupid.

Corris, the old Pistons general, looked a little embarrassed. He was at a loss now and could only act as a peacemaker, hugging Clark and letting him calm down.

As for Francis, who was supposed to be in the spotlight, he didn't make any big moves tonight.

Maybe the scene was a little too sudden, which made him stunned.

Or maybe he didn't want to stand up for Stoudemire at all. Stoudemire was pulling as much as 25,800,000 yuan every day, and he was originally unhappy with Stoudemire.

A situation that might have caused a super conflict turned out to be very harmonious for a while...

Clark was stopped by Corliss, but he was not impulsive enough to punch and kick his former teammate.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle vigorously.

The moment they saw Clark punch, the referees were so shocked that they couldn't breathe.

Looking at the posture just now, it is very likely that there will be another scene like the previous Blazers Jazz brawl.

But what made the referee relieved was that the situation was not so uncontrollable, and the two sides were relatively harmonious at the moment.

Of course, Clark will definitely be ejected.

As for Stoudemire, he was definitely a victim. He was hit by Clark's fist. Although it didn't hit his head, it was enough for him to drink a bottle.

…

Rockets head coach Tang Shuai on the sidelines was so frightened that a layer of sweat formed on his back.

Clark's punch just now reminded him of the tragedy again.

At that moment, he had a feeling that Xiaosi was going to be finished...

Fortunately, Xiaosi dodged the punch. If he hadn't dodged the punch, Tang Shuai couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would have been.

…

Stoudemire had regained his composure and rushed towards the culprit Clark like crazy.

Stoudemire would definitely find it hard to accept such a humiliating thing, being punched in the face, and being punched in front of tens of thousands of fans.

He wants to find a place for himself.

But the teammates around him held him tightly, not giving him a chance to continue to create conflicts.

Before the game started, Tang Shuai actually had a premonition of what would happen in tonight's game.

So I told other players privately that if something happens on the field, try to control the situation as much as possible.

Now Clark is about to be ejected. If Stoudemire rushes to fight, I'm afraid Stoudemire will not be able to get a favor, and the referee's whistle will definitely not let him go.

The most important thing is that if you really rush forward, the situation that was finally controlled will definitely get out of control again!

Once you lose control, the consequences will be even worse...

…

If Stoudemire really gets into a fight with Clark, his fists and kicks will inevitably injure someone else, and I'm afraid this will turn into a large-scale brawl!

In that case, what benefits would the Rockets get?

It's no good, they are in the process of rebuilding now, and they don't want to provoke the evil star Richard!

If Richard is concerned about him, he won't get any good results anyway.

…

"Be careful, young man!"

"I'm just giving you a little lesson tonight!"

"Next time at your home stadium, if you dare to act wild, I will beat you up in front of tens of thousands of your home fans!"

Clark glanced at Stoudemire with a sneer, and then walked toward the locker room passage.

Richard, who was standing on the sidelines, gave his own applause at this point in time.

"Pa bang..."

"Well done! Clark!" Richard shouted at Clark, and then clapped vigorously.

Under his leadership, the audience chanted Clark's name and applauded wildly.

Although Richard has not been coaching the Pistons for a long time, these Pistons fans have placed considerable expectations on Richard.

There is no other reason than that Richard has the temperament of the Bad Boys Legion.

In the eyes of this group of fans, if anyone among all the head coaches in the league can recreate a bad boy team in the Pistons, it is only Richard.

Even the Smiling Assassin and Laimbeer who came out of the Bad Boys Legion are not qualified in the eyes of Pistons fans!

The coaching abilities of these two people are somewhat average. It is unlikely that they will lead the Pistons back to the top.

But Richard's coaching ability is nothing to say. The three championships in the previous five years are the best proof!

Not only is his coaching ability excellent, but the key is that Richard is ruthless!

None of the players he trained were afraid of trouble. Look at the fist Clark waved just now. He definitely had the demeanor of Laimbeer at his peak.

It may be difficult to regain the glory of the Bad Boys in a year or two, but what about after a long time? !

With Richard's ability and ruthlessness, it's only a matter of time before the Bad Boys return!

…

Clark's punch directly inspired the confidence of Pistons fans!

At this moment, everyone stood up, applauded and cheered towards Clark!

Clark walked briskly. This was the first time in his career that he was ejected for fighting...

Although it is not a good thing, and he may face punishment from the league afterwards, listening to the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, he feels that it is quite worth it!

The most important thing is that he heard Richard shouting, which made him feel quite at ease. Did he completely enter Richard's heart this time?

In the past, Clark always felt that Richard did not regard him as one of his own. Although he gave him quite a few opportunities to perform, he did not treat him very affectionately.

But after tonight's incident is over, I'm afraid Richard will regard him as his real one, right?

Thinking of this, Clark became even more happy. He jumped three feet high and waved to greet the cheering fans, like a hero who had won a battle!

The referee directly gave an official timeout, and the Rockets wanted to check Stoudemire's condition.

…

The Rockets team doctor went out and asked Stoudemire a few questions, such as whether he felt chest tightness.

Xiao Si all shook his head. He knew very well that there was nothing wrong with him. He was just hit hard by the punch just now, but now after a short rest, he no longer felt any pain.

Now that Clark has been ejected, his chances of beating Yao Ming have increased a lot.

In previous games, Clark caused him considerable trouble, making it difficult for him to find opportunities to face off against Yao Ming.

But now that Clark has been ejected, don't the Pistons use Yao Ming to defend themselves? !

If Yao Ming is not used to defend himself, there is only one possibility: Richard will give up the game.

Stoudemire has set two goals for himself tonight!

The first is to beat Yao Ming in terms of statistics, and the second is to win tonight's Pistons home game!

It can not only prove that he is better than Yao Ming, but also make Richard look ugly.

Now with Clark ejected, Stoudemire feels his chance has come...

"I'm fine, nothing happened!"

"Coach, don't worry, I will definitely bring a victory to the Rockets tonight. This is my responsibility!" Stoudemire said loudly to Tang Shuai with a solemn face.

These words directly made Francis a little unhappy.

What does it mean to bring a victory to the Rockets? It's like the Rockets have never won before...

Well, the Rockets did not win many games before.

But the responsibility of winning is obviously my responsibility as the boss!

Francis has long been dissatisfied with Stoudemire because of the ball rights problem. Now Stoudemire's words have given him a sense of crisis.

Why can Yao Ming get along so well with Francis? The reason is Yao Ming's humility.

A capable inside player, he does not actively ask for the ball, nor does he compete for team status. No matter what the occasion, Francis is always said to be the boss of the team.

With Yao Ming like this, how could Francis have trouble with Yao Ming...

To be honest, Francis is actually a cancerous player. He often has conflicts with his teammates in the locker room, but he treats Yao Ming very well.

The reason is largely because Yao Ming did not threaten him.

Think about it, if Yao Ming is like Stoudemire, he has to fight for the ball and team status when he first joins the team. It's strange that Francis can be friends with such a player!

…

Seeing that Xiao Si had a strong desire to win, Tang Shuai nodded and agreed.

Since there is nothing wrong with your body, you can play on the field.

Clark has been ejected, so I guess Richard should restrain himself...

A player's desire to win is a very precious quality. Tang Shuai has been in the league for so many years and knows this very well.

At the moment, he doesn't want to dampen Stoudemire's enthusiasm. If he can play, he will let him continue to play.

Anyway, Yao Ming didn't look like a ruthless guy. In the moment of the fight, Yao Ming didn't have any intention to attack Stoudemire. Instead, he stopped Clark and asked him to calm down.

Since Yao Ming is not a tough guy, Tang Shuai can safely put Stoudemire on the court.

Stoudemire is likely to face Yao Ming head-on next, so there shouldn't be any problems.

…

Obviously, Tang Shuai still doesn’t understand Richard well enough...

He felt that Richard would restrain himself because Clark was sent off, but in fact it was just the opposite.

Richard is now like a gambler who is desperate to lose. In his opinion, Xiao Si's behavior can calm him down with more than just a punch.

The Pistons generals surrounded Richard, and they were all talking quietly at the moment.

No one dared to speak, or even dare to breathe heavily. Richard's face was really ugly right now.

"Your performance makes me very disappointed!"

"I don't want to say more. During the next game time, I want that kid to look ugly!"

"I want him to cast a shadow over the Palace of Auburn Hills!"

"If anyone can do something that satisfies me, I will guarantee him an All-Star status!"

Richard is indeed very disappointed!

In his opinion, even Clark took action too late. When Stoudemire provoked him for the first time, he should have blocked his mouth with his fist.

Especially Yao Ming, Richard didn't want to say harsh words to Yao Ming, but he felt that he needed to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Yao Ming about this matter.

It's not that he encouraged Yao Ming to fight on the court, Richard just wanted him to be tougher on the court.

Faced with such a provocation from Stoudemire, it is definitely not a good thing to keep your anger hidden.
