Bishop of the Devil

All the fans stood up and gave Pippen a warm round of applause.

Of course, this applause is part of the reason why the Lakers won. If they had lost this game, there might not have been so much applause...

The Lakers won this game, winning by five points in the end.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Richard released the water at the last moment and replaced three cannon fodder players. Otherwise, it is hard to say who will win tonight...

In the eyes of all parties, Richard's release was completely justified.

It would be unreasonable if the new pirate army does not perform badly now...

"It's so cool!"

"This feeling is so great. Fortunately, I joined the Pirates!"

"This is the game I want!"

Pippen was not affected by the loss at all. After the game, he enjoyed the cheers and screams of the fans and his face was red.

Thinking about his age, he is about to retire, but he can still enjoy such fierce cheers from the fans, which would make anyone happy.

"Li, I believe you now. If I can continue this performance, I will definitely get an annual salary of tens of millions!"

"Although I don't know what magic you used on me, I want to say that you are a good coach. I have never been so convinced of a coach!" Pippen was full of excitement and ran to Richard and gave him gave Richard a hug.

Pippen didn't say this nonsense. As a player, he really doesn't think highly of coaches as a group.

Even Zen Master Jackson didn’t pay much attention to him...

But now he was completely impressed by Richard. Although he didn't know exactly what happened to him, he was very sure that it must have something to do with Richard.

…

Sure enough, early the next morning, various media outlets reported frantically on Pippen's crazy performance the night before.

A nearly forty-year-old veteran scored 30+ quasi-triple-doubles, which is a miracle in itself.

Not only that, Barkley also jumped out, shouting that he wanted to come back, just waiting for Richard to say a word.

As long as Richard's Pirates team is willing to accept him, he will immediately quit his job as a TNT commentator and be ready to join the Pirates that night.

When Richard saw this news and then looked at Barkley's chubby figure, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

…

Although the media from all sides reported wildly on Pippen's strong performance last night, they all used the word "outbreak" to describe it.

No one is crazy enough to think that this is Pippen's normal state...

But in the next game against the New York Knicks, Pippen directly used the data of 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists to prove that he was by no means an explosive night.

The whole league was shocked. If there was only one outbreak, the fans would just have fun and brag about the veteran.

But if such data is produced one after another, this is not an explosion, but a miracle.

Next, the Pirates will play against the Celtics in an away game. If nothing else goes wrong, Pippen will probably face Pierce. If Pippen can continue to perform this amazing performance, it will definitely become the biggest sports news of the year.

Who is Pierce? The number one small forward in the league today!

The strongest small forward, bar none!

Richard also didn't expect that Pi Da and Pi Er were going to fight so soon.

It's weird to say the least.

Pierce was nicknamed Uncle Pi, and Pippen was nicknamed Uncle Pi...

The nicknames of old and young are completely reversed.

…

Maybe it's because Pierce and Doc Rivers got angry over each other, so Green Kai has already begun a bad journey.

It's just that their bad show is a bit Buddhist, unlike the blatant bad show of the Pirates.

With Green Kai's lineup, they can actually make it to the Eastern Conference playoffs this season, but even if they make it to the playoffs, what's the point.

The Heat and the Pistons, these two super teams, have basically determined the two positions in the Eastern Conference Finals.

With Green Kai's current lineup, regardless of whether it encounters the Heat or the Pistons, the chance of being swept is quite high.

…

After seeing Richard, Doc Rivers' old face smiled like an old chrysanthemum, and couldn't help praising Richard for becoming handsome again recently...

Now Rivers is putting all his hopes on Richard.

In the next draft, if Richard helps them, their lineup will be improved. After a season of hard work, a top team will be born.

The premise is that Richard must fulfill his promise and help them...

…

The game on the court has begun, and Doc Rivers rarely became quiet and did not yell at the court.

Maybe he is also afraid that his roar will make Richard dissatisfied...

The home fans are still looking forward to tonight's game and want to see if Pippen can continue his miracles.

The result naturally made them quite satisfied. Pippen was still very good. In this game against Pierce, he scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Although the data was not as good as the previous two games, it was still pretty good.

After scoring 25+ points in three consecutive games, Pippen is going to be completely different this time.

I'm afraid Pippen at his peak never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Countless media reported wildly, and countless fans worshiped him.

In his prime, Pippen has always lived in the shadow of Jordan. He must have been well-known, but it was certainly not as exaggerated as it is now.

Even those who don’t pay attention to basketball now know that a forty-year-old monster has appeared in the NBA.

…

As the schedule continued, the Pirates kept losing games, but the attendance at home was always very good.

The fans at home naturally came for the old monster Pippen. Everyone wanted to see the birth of the miracle with their own eyes.

This situation naturally makes Jordan and Richard extremely satisfied. The team's attendance has been maintained at a good level, and the team will definitely make a small profit this season.

As for how much he can earn, Richard certainly doesn't care. After buying shares in Facebook, Richard knows very well that at some point in the future, money may be just a symbol for him.

Not only Richard, but Jordan certainly doesn't care much about this profit, because this profit is far less than the income from his sneakers.

…

In the blink of an eye, it’s mid-January.

The annual All-Star voting has already begun...

Richard looked at it with greed, but he could only be greedy. He would definitely not be included in this year's All-Stars.

Even in the previous All-Star restructuring, the coach could transfer the qualification to lead the team, but there was still a rigid indicator of the top four records in the division.

The Pirates team that Richard currently leads ranks last in the Eastern Conference, so no matter what, he is not qualified to lead the team.

Pippen was undoubtedly selected as an All-Star. As for Milicic, there is still some gap between being selected as an All-Star.

In terms of statistics, after half the season, Milicic is averaging about 16+8 per game, which cannot be said to be bad, but it is certainly not close to excellent.

Richard could actually use his connections to help Milicic squeeze out an All-Star substitute qualification...

However, I just gave up this idea after thinking about it, because it really made no sense.

Milicic is so young now, not even 20 years old, and there are not many opportunities to be selected as an All-Star in the future.

…

Milicic is not the kind of player who peaks at his debut. Through the attribute viewer, Richard can see Milicic growing step by step.

As long as there is growth, it will be easy. At such a young age, even if you start two or three years later than others, you can catch up in the future.

…

The schedule is already halfway through. Logically speaking, Richard should relax. In another three months, their season will be over and they can begin their real rise.

But Richard couldn't let go, because they met their opponent in a bad show.

One is the Atlanta Hawks in the East, and the other is the New Orleans Hornets in the West.

The performance of these two teams also reached a crazy level.
