Bishop of the Devil

Seeing Richard and Yao Ming taking this opportunity to canvass for votes, the reporters were speechless.

A good press conference turned into a canvassing rally for these two people.

Tonight, two domestic media outlets actually attended the press conference. One is the domestic CCTV, and the other is the Basketball Herald, a well-known domestic basketball newspaper.

When Da Zhi entered the league before, the NBA had already attracted a lot of attention domestically.

Later, Yao Ming was elected as the No. 1 pick, and then played such an explosive performance, which caused a wave of NBA fever in the country.

Following this, various basketball-related newspapers and TV programs sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

At present, CCTV and the Herald have dispatched special team reporters to cover Pistons games.

…

Richard had already explained Clark's situation to the reporters. In a nutshell, Clark was the big brother in the team. He saw his teammates being bullied and it was understandable that he took action in desperation.

This reason is of course unjustifiable. In any case, it is impossible for the league to give up punishing Clark because of Richard's reason.

"As for Yao Ming, can't you see that that kid just wants to make trouble tonight?" Richard said about Yao Ming again.

"Think about it, has Yao Ming ever taken the initiative to cause trouble since he entered the league?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Richard slapped the table and said angrily.

"Does it mean that no one has provoked Yao Ming before? Yes! But it is definitely not as extreme as today!"

"That kid should be lucky. He just met the good-tempered Yao Ming. If it were me, I could beat him to a disability!"

"That kid, listen to me. If you dare to challenge my team next time, I will make it impossible for you to survive in this league!"

"If you don't believe it, you can try it!"

Richard also became ruthless and said harsh words directly.

The reporters recalled the scene when Richard was vomited by Stockton on the court, and they couldn't help but laugh...

But they couldn't laugh because Richard's last sentence reminded them of Richard's terror!

Although Richard has not caused trouble in recent years, his energy is still throughout the league!

How many of his disciples are there in this alliance? ! Countless!

Most of the players have become top or second-tier players!

Here in the East, the Philadelphia 76ers, the big boss Allen Iverson and the second big boss Dazhi are both disciples of Richard!

Green Kai's top boss Pierce and second boss Billups are both his disciples!

Brand and Rasheed of the Bulls!

Pacers center Brad Miller!

Mike Miller, the second leading scorer on the Magic team after Tracy McGrady!

Hamilton, the second in charge of the Wizards!

Eagles boss Raheem.

Cavaliers great Al Harrington.

The Raptors' second leader, Warriors Saint Jackson!

This is only a grand occasion in the east. The west is even more terrifying. West Lafayette’s peak combat power is almost always in the west!

Needless to say more about the pioneers...

The Mavericks' first and second boss, Dirk Nowitzki and Larry Hughes.

Bibby, the white devil who is the engine of the Kings backcourt.

The second in charge of the Timberwolves and the third in charge!

Lakers' double MVP Kobe!

Other Western Conference teams also have more or less Richard disciples!

It can be said that Richard's influence has spread throughout the entire league. As long as Richard speaks out, this group of disciples will attack Xiao Si. It is really difficult for this iron-headed boy to survive in this league.

These big bosses and second bosses don't have to take action themselves. In every game where Stoudemire is played, it is not difficult to directly instruct the fringe players in the team to play Stoudemire!

You can imagine how sad Stoudemire's life will be once Richard speaks.

At present, West Lafayette has become the most important force in this alliance. If they unite, they will definitely cause huge changes in this alliance.

…

When the reporters thought of this, they all became a little distracted. Richard's energy in this alliance now is really terrifying!

He has the energy to respond to every call. He can completely determine the difficulty of a player's future career with just one call.

As long as you join the West Lafayette group, it will be much easier for players to grow up. After all, no matter which team you join, there will almost always be someone to protect you.

Even if there are no West Lafayette players on the team, would the team's boss dare to bully the West Lafayette players?

Take Garnett for example, his temper is truly lawless, and he often beats and scolds his teammates.

But when it came to the two West Lafayette players on the team, he didn't dare to beat or scold him, because he knew very well that if he dared to conflict with these two people, Richard could steal him. Skin.

Even if Richard didn't take action, he would never be able to withstand the waves of impact from other West Lafayette players.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...

"I hope the league can take into account Yao Ming's special circumstances and then punish him as appropriate."

"Tonight's incident is definitely a special situation. The main reason is that the kid is looking for death. I believe that the Alliance Management Committee will definitely find out the situation!"

"The key is that it's just a few slaps, and it's really not a big deal. If you don't see that kid, can you continue to play on the court?"

Richard said with a smile.

Seeing that Richard was no longer ready to say anything more, the reporters were thinking about what to write in tomorrow's news.

Especially the domestic media, they are even more excited. If this matter is reported back to the country tonight, it will definitely cause an uproar.

It will definitely win the attention of countless fans...

…

Early the next morning, the domestic Herald's headline was "Yao Ming is domineering and slaps Rockets big man Stoudemire"

The reports on the American side did not focus on Yao Ming, but focused mainly on Richard and Stoudemire.

I wrote about the conflict between Richard and Stoudemire from beginning to end, and then wrote about tonight’s boxing, chokehold, and slapping incidents in large ink, and finally focused on Richard’s threats at the press conference. .

As soon as this report came out, everyone was shocked, especially those Pistons fans who had not watched the game. They were as excited as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Richard got up early today and was waiting for the punishment results from the league.

But after waiting and waiting, the league failed to provide the penalty results in the morning.

New York, NBA headquarters.

NBA executives are having a meeting at the moment, and everyone's expressions are a little tangled.

Especially Stern, his old face was even more twisted into a knot at this moment.

"That damn Richard will cause trouble for us. He's so full that he manages to do such a difficult thing!" A senior executive couldn't help but cursed.

Stern could no longer agree with this statement.

"Turn the video over to me again. I want to watch it again!"

"Stop, right here!"

"Richard enters the court!"

A smile appeared on Stern's face...

The video was paused, and sure enough, when the two sides clashed, Richard actually stepped onto the court.

Under normal circumstances, when there is no conflict between the two sides, it is not a big deal if the coach even steps onto the court with one foot. Fans who often watch football should know that this situation is quite normal.

But then Richard's Law came out. When players from both sides clash on the court, it would be a violation of the rules if the head coach of the team takes the field.

At this moment, Richard clearly had one foot in the arena in the video and was directly caught by Stern.

"Punishment, give me a heavy punishment!"

Stern slapped the table, his old face smiling like a bright chrysanthemum.

A group of senior executives were a little confused. Just now, Stern was worrying about how to punish Yao Ming. Why did he suddenly make up his mind to impose a heavy penalty?

"Mr. President, isn't it appropriate to punish Yao Ming heavily?" Xiao Hua asked Stern with a frown.

Stern waved his hand, "I didn't mention punishing Yao Ming severely. Give Richard a severe punishment. He violated Richard's Law!"

Everyone was speechless. This statement sounded really convoluted, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Richard finally entered the stadium...

"Suspended for five games and fined 100,000!"

"No, the fine is two hundred thousand dollars, that kid is rich anyway!"

Stern laughed out loud, he finally caught Richard's trick.

This time he was going to let out all the anger he had suffered before!

Everyone was stunned. Good guy, a fine of two hundred thousand dollars? ! This damn thing is too cruel...

Unlike the punishment of players, there is no upper limit to the fines of coaches, team executives or team owners.

The management committee can impose fines at will, but of course, they must be able to bear it. If it imposes a penalty of one billion or eighty million US dollars, and they will run away, who will play with you...

The NBA's fines are not government fines and have no legal effect.

It is equivalent to saying that the person who is punished does not have to pay, but then you may be expelled from the NBA...

If the fine is too high, and the person's income is not enough to pay the fine, he will definitely have to run away.

Now Stern directly issued a rather astonishing fine of 200,000 yuan to Richard!

He knew very well that Richard could definitely pay these fines quite easily, and this amount of money was nothing to Richard.

"By the way, take this opportunity to quickly enact a rule!"

"In the future, players must use checks to pay fines. They cannot be paid in installments, but can only be paid in one go!"

"This rule is called Richard's Rule No. 2!"

Stern thought of the last time the golden dragon gave him a steel drill, and he did not forget to add a sentence at the end...

If Richard cheats on the $200,000 this time and gives away steel, Stern will definitely vomit blood.

So it’s better to nip it in the bud and come up with rules first.

Anyway, this kind of rule has no impact on the game and can be introduced at any time...
