Chapter 404: Zen Master Suppresses Trailblazers

Richard has no bad feelings for Sloan, but rather admires the head coach who has dedicated his entire coaching career to a team.
But there is no way, the two sides have different positions, and it is destined to be impossible to live in harmony.
Especially now that Sloan has jumped out and blatantly accused Nowitzki of getting into the All-Star game, it must be impossible for Richard to sit idly by.
He is the boss of the Portland gangster, and such a blind sight is really unreasonable.
Moreover, Richard did not think there was anything absurd...
In this year's Western Backcourt, not only Nowitzki entered, even Michael Finley, who ranked tenth in the Western Backcourt, was selected as an All-Star backcourt substitute.
This is the second season of Nowitzki's career. Nowitzki's stats in the rookie season are indeed not very beautiful, but this season, because Richard mostly put him into the starting lineup and gave A lot of playing time, so drivers are fully qualified for the data.
He averaged 45.7% field goal percentage, 37.9% three-pointers, and averaged 20.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists. Although the defensive performance is indeed not good, but this data is not selected for the All-Star game.
"absurd!"
After the Blazers' press conference, Richard screamed ridiculously at the table as soon as he came up!
The reporters off the stage laughed, Richard this is the rhythm of doing things!
"I recently noticed some jealous guys who said that they were quite ridiculous because they were jealous of our Blazers' four players being selected as All-Stars, which made me quite dissatisfied!"
"Okay, the jealous guy I'm talking about here is the jazz guy!"
"Don't they look at what level they are now? What can't they do, what can they eat, and what's left is there, their record is now equal to that of the Timberwolves, and they are embarrassed to come out!"
The reporters in the audience were unable to vomit. The Timberwolves were lying down and were shot...
"If I were them, now I would definitely be a man with a tail in my tail, and don’t come out and be disgraceful without that strength!"
"Now tell me that Nowitzki is not qualified to be an All-Star, come and tell me where is not qualified?!"
"We are still the most powerful team in the West. Who dares to deny it?! Even the Lakers, do they dare to deny that we are the strongest team in the West?!"
"No, we are the strongest team in this league!"
"Nowitzki has scored 20+5+4 stats per game in the league's strongest team. His shooting percentage is quite high. Who can tell me, where is not enough to be selected as an All-Star?!"
"Anyway, it is better than your jazz, so when your jazz can win our trailblazers, it is not too late to exhibit again!"
Richard patted the table and roared loudly.
The reporters nodded. Richard was actually right. The Jazz really didn't care about this time, maybe he was anxious...
They have such a strong team, even if an All-Star is not selected, it is strange to calm down!
"Coach Richard, listening to gossip, it seems that before the coach vote started, you called many coaches of the team and asked them to vote for the Blazers players. Is this the case?" A reporter stood up.
This reporter's news is quite well-informed...
But this kind of thing can't be concealed, Richard was not prepared to conceal!
To know that in addition to the head coach voting, there are also teaching assistant groups. Richard calls the head coaches of ten teams in total. There are almost forty assistant coaches under these head coaches!
It is inevitable that so many people will disclose the news in a loose tone.
Now this reporter asks this question, Richard is even more angry...
"Who!"
"Who said?! I don't recognize Richard..."
"This is completely the smearing behavior of Chiguo Guo, and only the rats in the sewer will spread this kind of completely unfounded news!"
"Nowitzki was selected as an All-Star, that's what people want, and it has nothing to do with me!"
"What's more, even if the news is true, what can I do? I have this ability to vote for my players. If the Jazz is dissatisfied, they can also vote for it, and nobody stops them!"
The reporters did not know what to say at all, and Richard began to scound the rogue again.
This rogue is so straightforward that he can't fault it...
...
On February 15th, the All-Star Weekend officially opened!
Richard bought tickets for the admission this time, mainly because he wanted to see the rookie game...
This year's rookie challenge has already begun to restructure, becoming a rookie team to challenge the second-year team system, so a large number of West Lafayette players were selected.
What makes Richard a little unexpected is that under normal circumstances, the initial rookie challenge is actually one party of eight people, and later changed to nine people...
This year, there are nine people on the direct side!
There are 9 rookies, 9 sophomores, and 18 participants!
The rookie team's lineup almost scared fans from all sides...
Brand, Francis, Davis, Odom, Szebiak, Hamilton, Artest, Kirilenko and Ginobili!
All six Purdue players were selected, and the two newcomers Richard got this year were also selected!
The only player who is not the West Lafayette is Francis...
The rookie team has a total of nine players. As a result, eight of them are Richard's descendants!
This made the fans horrified. The days when West Lafayette ruled the league seemed not far away...
Although the rookie roster was also voted by the coaches, the coach is unlikely to choose some rotten rookie rookie to participate, it is simply an insult to the All-Star weekend.
The players they choose are all very powerful players in the rookie, even if they are not in the top nine, then they are very close!
In other words, in this year's rookie, among the top players, except for Francis, the others are Richard's descendants!
This is terrifying...
It's no wonder that the Blazers are now the strongest team in the league. With the vision of a candidate like Richard, they are blamed if they are not strong!
Each team also thought of one thing.
That is the contract between Richard and the Blazers...
At the time, Richard signed a contract with the Trail Blazers, which caused considerable concern in the league. Everyone clearly remembered that the contract signed between Richard and the Trail Blazers was four years!
In other words, after the end of this year, if Richard does not renew the contract with the Blazers, then Richard will become a free body!
Such a head coach is simply an unimaginable great wealth, far better than one or two stars!
If Richard could be dug up, it would be a great joy...
They may also be like the current Trail Blazers, in the short term directly become the league super powerful!
Now the teams have begun to think about how to attract Richard...
...
Richard naturally knows that the contract with the Blazers is about to expire, but he really has no intention of leaving the Blazers.
Last season won the championship, this season still has a considerable chance to win!
As long as he wins the championship next season, Richard has created the Blazers Dynasty!
At this juncture, Richard must not be willing to leave...
The conclusion of the dynasty, whether it is for the star or the coach, has a very great attraction!
...
In addition to the horrible rookie team, the second-year team's lineup is also frightening fans of all parties!
Nowitzki was selected as an All-Star, so his rookie qualification was cancelled.
Bibby, Jamison, Larry Hughes, Pierce, Harrington, Mobley, Olovokandi, Bai Qiao, La Frenz.
All of Purdue’s four youngsters were selected in the 98 NBA Draft. Richard Harrington and Mobley were also selected in 1998. That is, the remaining three were not Richard’s descendants.
Lewis was not selected for the Rookie Challenge, but Richard still felt a little guilty.
The main reason is that there is really no chance for Lewis to show his talents. The main reason is that this guy's defense is really bad...
In the case of Harrington, Richard must give priority to Harrington. After all, Harrington's defense is better than Lewis...
However, by the end of this season, Richard may try to sell Harrington with only one year of rookie contracts, but he may try to reuse Lewis.
...
The rookie team's nine-man roster has eight Richard Dean players!
In the nine-man roster of the second-year team, there are six of Richard's heirs...
There are a total of eighteen newcomers. As a result, there are 14 players in this group who are players of the West Lafayette series!
It's scary!
Tickets for the Rookie Challenge are cheaper, and Richard paid for the venue for three thousand dollars.
When the players from both sides started to enter the stadium, everyone was stunned that these newcomers, as long as they were players of the West Lafayette system, all ran to Richard to give Richard a hug ...
As a result, there was nothing else to see at the entrance ceremony. I saw more than ten newcomers hugging Richard.
...
This rookie challenge, it is not too much to say that the civil war of West Lafayette players!
Even the sophomore team has six players belonging to the West Lafayette system. After their debut, these players will definitely choose to pass the ball to their own players. Those players who are not from the West Lafayette department will walk through the field after the debut. Some Inside players may not even reach a ball for a few minutes...
...
Although it was just a rookie challenge, Richard was still interested in watching it.
Because the specifications of this game are actually comparable to some bleak All-Star games.
The two sides played back and forth, but clearly it can be seen that the rookie team has a large advantage.
The main reason is that Brand and Kirilenko are a pair of insiders. The sophomore team is really unable to deal with it.
At the end of the game, Brand won the MVP of this rookie challenge with 32 points and 17 rebounds.
Now that Brand is starting to show up, with a good future, Richard is pleased with his heart.
Compared with the 98th champion Olovokandi, Brand is really like a god. On the field, Olovokandi completely exploded into scum...
...
After the rookie game ended, the next celebrity game Richard had little interest and went directly to the hotel to rest, waiting for tomorrow's miscellaneous game.
Dunk King's honor was won by Vince Carter. McGrady performed well in the first round, but eventually lost to his cousin Carter.
As for the three-point contest, Richard was pleasantly surprised. The guy Ginobili even passed the battle and won the honor of the last three-point king!
Although Mobley participated in the final skill game, he only walked past the stage, and the final result was not very satisfactory.
...
On Sunday night, the much-anticipated All-Star game finally began.
Mainly because of the large number of West Lafayette teams participating in this competition, otherwise, Richard may really be reluctant to buy expensive tickets to watch the game.
To the east, the Purdue Geminis in the Philadelphia 76ers were all selected as All-Stars, with Iverson as the starting point guard in the East and Zhi Zhi as the backup forward.
In fact, it is a pity that Da Zhi didn't make a starter. The main reason is that Vince Carter was selected as a forward. If Carter is a defender, then Da Zhi has a chance to start.
His vote ranks third in the eastern striker position!
Although the Chinese All-Star voting interface is not open at the moment, there are still a considerable number of Chinese in the old United States. These Chinese will definitely vote for Dazhi.
Waiting for the voting interface to open after two years, then Da Zhi even had the opportunity to get the honor of the ticket king!
...
In addition to the Philadelphia 76ers in the east, Rashid Wallace, a bull, was selected as a forward backup.
On the west side, there are four people who cut away the Blazers, and there is a Kobe of the Lakers, a total of five...
The two sides add up to a total of eight West Lafayette players!
There are 24 All-Stars, and West Lafayette players account for a third of them!
Fans are very clear, don't look at just one-third at the moment, maybe in two years, West Lafayette players can definitely occupy half of the All-Star game list!
Even being monopolized by West Lafayette players like rookie games is not impossible!
Judging from the selection of West Lafayette players in recent years, more and more than one year...
Richard had just entered the league's first All-Star, and no player from the West Lafayette was selected for the All-Star.
And for the second All-Star, the number has increased to three, Iverson in the east, Kobe Bryant and O'Brien in the west!
As for the third year, the All-Star was not held, but in the opinion of fans, if it is held, this year's All-Star West Lafayette players should have five or six players to be selected!
As for the current season, it has steadily increased to 8 people!
It is foreseeable that the number of West Lafayette players may increase to double digits next season for the All-Star!
...
Seeing eight of his own line-up troops selected for the All-Star, Richard was naturally quite pleased, and he was all smiling when watching the game on the sidelines.
But after watching the first game, he couldn't laugh.
Fortunately in the east, Jeff Van Gundy is a relatively junior coach. He dare not offend people. Basically, the twelve all-stars in the east have more or less playing time in the first quarter!
On the west side, Richard was quite hurt.
Zen Master Jackson didn't let any Trail Blazers debut in the first quarter!
This almost caused Richard to explode...
He knew that Jackson was so virtuous. Under normal circumstances, the All-Star he coached would not give the substitute All-Star much playing time.
For example, in the 99-00 All-Star game, Jeff Van Gundy in the east had an average of 25-6 minutes for the starting player and 18-9 minutes for the substitute...
The playing time is the same for everyone. The starting players are a little bit more, but there are not too many players.
But the Zen Master in the West is not the case. He has given a lot of playing time to the starting players, and Garnett's playing time has even reached 35 minutes!
But even so, the Zen Master did not let the Trail Blazers play in the first quarter, but also completely irritated Richard.
Is this the finding of red fruit? !
In the second quarter, Omoto and Oku debuted, and each played for three minutes before being replaced.
In the second half, Robinson and Nowitzki also got the chance to play, but the playing time is three or five minutes!
At the end of the game, Richard suddenly found that his four proud disciples, Omoto and Oku played respectively for 11 minutes. As for Robinson and Nowitzki, the playing time was only seven minutes!
This made Richard completely fry...
Sloan, who had just come off the court and jazzed himself, now seems to have reached out to tear the master!
What do you mean? !
Is Chiguo aimed at the pioneers? !
What makes Richard even speechless is that the old man, Zen Master, does not seem to be very satisfied with the Spurs. Duncan played 25 minutes in this game, which is the least playing time of all starting players.
But playing 25 minutes, it's still reasonable...
At least stronger than the Blazers!
In this history of the All-Star Game, Duncan and O'Neill shared the honor of the All-Star MVP!
The result may be that Popovich jumped out against the Lakers’ plan to restrict the shark-cutting tactics, and the Zen Master directly cut Duncan's playing time.
Duncan's data is naturally not good, and finally got 17 points and 8 rebounds.
In the end, the honor of the All-Star MVP, the league directly shared O'Neill and Garnett!
...
The Zen Master is targeting the Blazers tonight, it can be said to be unscrupulous, obviously!
Obviously, I didn't care about Richard's revenge afterwards...
Moreover, this kind of thing, Richard last time coaching the Western All-Star, was even more than Zen Master did!
The Zen Master was at least only playing time for the substitute All-Star, and when Richard last coached the Western All-Star, it was the playing time of the starting player for the deduction...
The Lakers were very miserable that time was deducted!
Now in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, the Lakers have found their place...
Therefore, the Zen master can do this kind of thing, it can be said that he has a straightforward spirit, and he is not afraid of Richard finding fault.
If you can do Richard, I can't do it with Phil Jackson? !
You have only one championship in Richard's hands. I have six Jacksons. I'm more qualified than you to do this kind of thing...
...
Richard was stupid!
Originally, the relationship between the Blazers and the Lakers was not very good, but there was no too bad conflict.
Richard originally thought, as Kobe joins the Lakers, the relationship between the two teams will become much better.
But now it seems that Richard was thinking of the jealousy of Zen Master.
The Zen master is really upset about Richard, or jealous.
He couldn't understand why Richard had only one championship on hand, but he was the most popular head coach in this league!
It is also impossible to understand why Kobe has not cared about himself since he came to the Lakers. Instead, he has been talking about what Richard would do in this situation...
Zen Master is a very proud coach, he can tolerate these is strange!
Now that he has the opportunity to rehabilitate the Blazers, he will naturally not be soft!
Anyway, the Lakers and Trail Blazers will definitely be the biggest competitors in the past two years. If they offend, they will offend. He doesn't believe what Richard can do to himself.
Could Richard be kind to the Lakers without provoke the Blazers?
For example, not to use shark-cutting tactics?
...
Kobe saw Richard's fierce expression on the court, and he could not help crying in his heart.
His familiarity with Richard's expression is almost unfamiliar...
This is the prelude to runaway!
Kobe can only pray secretly now. Richard can restrain his temper, and he should never do anything against the Lakers. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed.
...
"I hope the coach will not be rough this time..."
"Good guy, what should I do if I really fight?"
Kobe looks dignified, he is very worried...
He knows that Richard is definitely not the kind of master who can eat and lose. Tonight, the Zen master is equivalent to squatting on Richard's head to excrete. It is strange that he can bear it!
...
The game was not over yet, Richard directly left early, and then returned to Portland overnight, greeted Stevens to help him inform the media, he will hold a press conference!
Regardless of the next game, right or wrong means used against the Lakers, anyway, now Richard must be out!
...
Reporters from all walks of life are well aware of what happened during the All-Star race.
The main reason is that the Jackson Jackson did something obvious, just as Richard was when he coached, and the discerning person can immediately see the purpose of the Zen Master.
And Richard's time was mainly to allow his players to play more time, which is a behavior that harms others.
This time, the Zen Master was completely detrimental to himself. He did not allow O'Neill and Kobe to play for too long, but it was cheaper than the All-Star players of other teams.
This is Chi Guoguo's desire to suppress the pioneers!
The reporters think about Richard's temper~EbookFREE.me~Ji Yi's must-have temperament, he can eat this blame!
Countless reporters rushed to Portland...
They knew that Richard was going to shoot at Zen Jackson completely!
...
The huge venue of the Rose Garden Arena was filled with hundreds of reporters at the moment.
There are even journalists from Los Angeles...
"Thank you for participating in today’s private press conference!"
"Yes, this press conference is indeed private, and the remarks I make below represent only my own views!"
Richard sneered at hundreds of reporters under the stage.
