Bishop of the Devil

"Mr. Richard, the press conference is about to begin. The reporters have already entered the venue." The staff outside reminded Richard.

"Let's go, old man, let's go to the press conference." Richard said with a smile at Jordan.

…

In the conference room, Richard and Jordan attended together.

The gold content of these two people is self-evident, and they are both among the most important figures in the basketball circle.

And now both of them have an identity, that is, they are the owners of the Pirates.

The reporters cheered up. This press conference tonight will definitely be quite exciting.

"Mr. Richard, what happened tonight? Why was there such a huge conflict?"

Before Richard and Jordan could sit down, a reporter was already eager to ask questions.

This kind of question that was asked knowingly made Richard a little dissatisfied.

What happened on the field? Don't you know?

"What happened on the court, I don't think I need to say more, Steven Hunter committed a flagrant foul on our starting center Varejao, and then he got the punishment he deserved!" Richard said coldly. said.

The reporters were speechless. It would be great if things were as easy as you said.

"I'm very sad. This kind of thing happened to our newly established new team. It really saddens me. I don't know what went crazy with Hunter and why he did that to Varejao. Poisonous hand."

"You know, this kind of thing was quite rare even in my playing days!"

Jordan picked up the microphone and spoke to the reporters in a dull tone.

The reporters in the audience can roughly figure out the next plan of the two owners of the Buccaneers, which is nothing more than to pour all the dirty water on the Suns in order to reduce the upcoming punishment from the league.

It's normal to think about it. It was indeed Hunter who caused the trouble tonight. There's nothing wrong with Richard and Jordan's behavior.

As soon as Jordan finished speaking, Richard continued to speak.

"Everyone knows that we are a new army, but if these rubbish think that the new army is easy to bully, then they are wrong."

"We are pirates!"

"And they are the most ferocious pirates. If we don't hunt you, you should be enjoying yourself secretly. You dare to attack our pirates. This is simply asking for death!"

"Suns, I don't care whether Hunter's idea was his own brainless idea or someone instigated it."

"Anyway, I, Richard, will be responsible for your Suns team's responsibility for this debt!"

"Wash your butt and wait for me, Richard. You will regret what happened tonight."

The reporters in the audience opened their eyes wide. Richard had made a declaration of war.

Who was the team that made Richard publicly declare war last time...

Utah Jazz!

Think about the tragic situation of the Jazz. They were originally a thriving super team, but they were tortured to death by Richard, and then they became a half-baked team in the Western Conference.

Will the next Suns make the same mistake as the Jazz? !

You must know that the Suns are currently very good, and there will be no problem at least making it to the Western Conference playoffs.

Their only problem now is the lack of a qualified backcourt engine!

But once this happens, how can the Suns recruit backcourt engines? !

Richard has already announced that he is going to clean up your Suns. Most of these backcourt engines are small players, not rough-skinned guys like Hunter.

Joining the Suns at this time, wouldn't that be an act of giving away food...

And, most importantly, if you think about the powerful point guards in the league today, it seems that most of them are players who have played under Richard.

Now that Richard has spoken, will they join the Suns at this time? !

For a moment, the reporters in the audience mourned for the Suns. What kind of bad luck did this team have?

Can't you just be honest? He had to send himself to Richard's butcher's knife.

Reporters feel that Richard may be looking for an opportunity to establish his power now when he creates a new army.

The Suns, a stupid team, came to their door at this time. I really don’t know what they were thinking.

This is definitely a model of how you won’t die if you don’t seek death.

…

"Have I, Richard, been honest for too long and made you forget what kind of person I am?"

"Is it Richard who can't carry the knife anymore, or are you drifting away?!"

"Now that I'm so brave, I dare to attack my players!" Richard's cold tone made the reporters in the audience shudder.

These words immediately reminded the reporters of Richard's previous great achievements.

During the Trail Blazers dynasty, did anyone in this league dare to mess with Richard?

Absolutely not. The Blazers gang led by Richard, with their absolutely iron-blooded style, suppressed the entire alliance and dared not speak out.

At that time, many players were afraid when they heard Richard's name.

Later, as Richard switched jobs to the Pistons, and spent the three years relatively peacefully, many players may have really forgotten Richard's ferocity.

In the past three years, many new players have entered the league, and many marginal players have been given opportunities to express themselves. They have never experienced the fear that shrouds Richard's shadow.

…

Now Richard's words remind everyone that Richard is still the same Richard, and he is still the same devilish head coach.

Judging from Richard's tone just now, the reporters knew very well that if the Suns didn't show their sincerity, their end would definitely be miserable.

Although the two teams are located in the East and West, there are not many opportunities to compete in a season. They have already met once this season, and there is only one last chance to compete.

But even if there is only one chance to fight, if Richard is ruthless, unless the Suns use all pure substitute lineups, their main force will definitely be quite dangerous.

And, this is not the most critical thing.

The most critical thing is that the Suns' No. 1 signing is tightly held in Richard's hands.

Everyone knows that the Suns want Nash, and their desire for Nash is quite obvious.

They are now waiting for Nash's contract with the Pistons to end, and then lure Nash to join the Suns.

In this way, the Suns can truly rise.

But the terrible thing is that Nash is Richard's man...

He has won two championships in a row with Richard, and is currently staying well with the Pistons. If Richard dissuades Nash from joining the Suns, Nash may really refuse the temptation of the Suns.

As a result, the Suns are in trouble. Their lineup can make the playoffs, but if they want to improve in the playoffs, it will definitely not work without Nash.

Kidd can slightly replace Nash. He is also a good player on the fast break.

But Kidd is currently under contract with the Nets, unless the Suns are willing to use their chips to trade Kidd...

The Suns really don't have any good bargaining chips to trade now. Valuable players are essential players for the system. Players that D'Antoni's system cannot use, the Nets will definitely look down on.

The most important thing is that Kidd is not willing to return to the Suns. He sold Kidd in the first place, and now he is begging him to come back. Doesn't Kidd not want to lose face...

As for the other No. 1 players, D'Antoni knows very well that the effect of using them will definitely not be very good.

It can be said that all the hopes of the Suns are now pinned on Nash.

At this juncture, they had offended Richard to death, and they were simply seeking their own death.

…

Reporters at the scene mourned the Suns one after another. This Western Conference team finally got a chance to rise, but it ended up being ruined by their own hands.

However, reporters also know very well that this matter is not without room for relaxation.

The premise is that the Suns must show their sincerity to dispel Richard's anger.

There is no absolute hatred, only absolute interests.

Of course, this is just what the reporters think. Richard has no intention of easing up with the Suns right now.

He needs a team to establish his prestige, and he needs the new Pirates to maintain this toughness and persevere. This toughness can become the Pirates' team culture.

…

"Okay, I think it's time to end today's press conference. It's time for me and Richard to have a drink."

"I don't know what kind of punishment the league will impose tomorrow. God bless, I hope the punishment will not be too serious. You must know that we are just a new army."

Jordan looked quite relaxed and smiled happily at the reporters.

The reporters were all speechless. At this critical moment, you, an old gangster, still want to have a drink with Richard.
