Bishop of the Devil

James felt like a dog with sunburn. Did he promise that he would be the protagonist?

If you guys don't pass the ball to yourself, how can you be the protagonist?

If he played point guard, this kind of thing probably wouldn't happen, and at least he would get some shooting opportunities.

But now the point guard in the Eastern Conference is Iverson, and he plays the small forward position.

The fans are starting to get restless. According to this style of play, can James get ten points?

It seems very unlikely...

Richard was also dumbfounded. He did not expect that there would be such a situation of isolating James on the court.

But if you think about it carefully, this situation makes sense.

Apart from James, there were four people left on the court, and these four people were divided into two distinct factions.

One is the West Lafayette team composed of Yao Ming and Iverson. As long as these two have the ball in their hands, even if they don't play it themselves, they will definitely pass it to each other.

Iverson is the big brother of West Lafayette and has won the All-Star MVP, so he takes great care of Yao Ming on the court.

There are many opportunities that I can take action, but they are all passed to Yao Ming...

O'Neal and Wade are Heat players.

Before the game started, after learning that he and Wade were both selected as All-Star starters, O'Neal made up his mind to steal the limelight from the West Lafayette players.

He firmly believes that he and Wade, even if Richard gives him less playing time, can definitely squeeze out the West Lafayette players and win the All-Star MVP as long as they cooperate tacitly.

O'Neal doesn't take the All-Star MVP seriously, but he doesn't want Richard's people to get it either.

His resentment towards Richard still hasn't dissipated...

Wade and James have a good relationship, but big brother O'Neal has his own plan. Wade can only follow O'Neal's plan, and there is no time to pass the ball to James.

As a result, the two factions on the field directly played their own roles, completely ignoring James.

James' face was livid with anger. How could he say that tonight was also his home court and no one was passing the ball to him?

Are you a bunch of animals?

"Dudu!" Popovich called a timeout and replaced Duncan.

Duncan played for five minutes on the court. Well, it was basically the same as his nickname, Stone Buddha, quite Buddhist...

Richard has a hunch that Duncan may play less than twenty minutes tonight.

Popovich began to make substitutions, and Richard also followed suit and prepared to make substitutions.

At least we have to break up the pairing of Wade and O'Neal. These two are so destructive on the court that they may eventually steal the All-Star MVP.

As for James...

Richard no longer has to worry about him, since no one is passing the ball to him anyway.

Without the ball, if James can still win the All-Star MVP, then Richard is willing to admit that he is unlucky.

But what Richard didn't expect was that James actually spoke at this time.

"Coach Richard, please take me off the field. Anyway, I can't touch the ball on the field."

"Hope you guys have a great time in Cleveland."

James started to get angry and complained, reminding the players around him that this is fucking Cleveland, his home court. If you don't pass the ball to me, what are you trying to do?

He thought of using these words to remind Richard that he had to have a B-face no matter what. Just hit yourselves and don't affect my performance.

But obviously James still doesn't know Richard well enough...

"Oh well."

"James and O'Neal exit, Darko, you and Gerrard appear."

"How can we play with two centers on the court? It's not easy to play at all."

"James has no interest in playing. Hey, this game is so difficult..." Richard frowned and sighed.

James is going crazy, he is really just talking out of anger...

Richard is so single that he doesn't show up for himself? !

Shouldn't the normal rhythm be polite?

O'Neal also looked like a lost dog. The two centers are not easy to fight. Why don't you, the devil, take down Yao Ming?

…

With these substitutions, the field immediately turned into a lineup of four West Lafayette players and one Wade.

Iverson continued to create balls for his teammates, except Wade...

And Yao Ming seems to have little interest in the All-Star MVP. He can obviously take many balls, but they are all passed to Milicic.

He has a good impression of Milicic, a dull boy. Not only Yao Ming, but Iverson and Gerrard on the court also have a good impression of Milicic.

Mainly because of Milicic's heroic protection of Richard, many old West Lafayette players felt that this kid was a bit boring, but he still did things quite authentically.

As a result, several people on the field were playing ball for Milicic, which actually allowed Milicic to score a lot of points.

Wade looked confused. Was his big brother O'Neal's plan so easily cracked by Richard?

Didn't O'Neill say that Richard was too embarrassed to break them up directly? It seems that O'Neill also doesn't know Richard well enough...

Seeing the other four people on the court looking so in love with each other, Wade fell into deep regret.

In fact, Purdue University also recruited him, but this matter had nothing to do with Richard. During that time, Richard did not give Purdue University a list.

As a result, Purdue really encountered a big-handed player like Wade.

As a result, because Purdue entered a low period in those two years, Wade did not choose Purdue in the end, but chose another prestigious school, Marquette University.

Coincidentally, his head coach in college was Richard's old acquaintance Cali Perry.

Cali Perry was the head coach of Marquette University before entering the NBA. Later, he could no longer work in the NBA and returned to Marquette University.

It can be said that Wade and Richard are actually related.

Wade is regretting it now. If he had chosen Purdue, he would now be a member of West Lafayette.

How could there be such an isolated situation on that field...

But he wasn't too angry. After all, he and Richard had a connection like Cali Perry, and there might be a chance to join West Lafayette in the future.

Joining West Lafayette has become a trend now, at least in an All-Star event. If you don't have the identity of West Lafayette and want to shine, it will be really difficult.

Because the teammates are all West Lafayette players, if someone wants to pass the ball, he must pass it to his brother. Why should he pass it to you, an unfamiliar person...

…

After another four minutes of the game, Richard watched Popovich start to make substitutions again. He followed suit again and took Wade off the court and replaced him with O'Neal...

The lineup on the court became O'Neal, Milicic, Pierce, Arenas and Billups.

"Brother, we have another chance to fight side by side." Pierce gave Billups a hug before coming on the stage.

Billups nodded, excitement in his eyes.

O'Neal was startled. He was not allowed to play with his grandma, and he had to appear on the stage with four West Lafayette players like Wade?

He is a center, and if these outside guys don't pass the ball to him, he can only rely on rebounding for secondary offense.

How many points can you get...

O'Neill was desperate. I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to destroy Richard's good deeds tonight.
