He really couldn't stand Clark's behavior......

But the point is that the system reward is too tempting, and Richard really can't let go of this temptation.

Even if he punishes Clark today, he may not be able to get a good smell in a few days.

Clark's hot pot prop, if any center gets it, is enough to make it have the top level of super blocking ability in history!

Think about it, if Yao Ming has this kind of blocking ability, with Abdul-Jabbar's offensive ability, Richard will find a way to improve his rebounding ability, and then engage in organizational ability, such a center will stop in the restricted area, it will be an insoluble monster!

Yao Ming's defense is actually at a good level, but there is still a bit of a gap compared to a little monster like Clark.

After thinking about it, Richard finally decided to take this next task.

For no other reason, Richard didn't want to make a real fragrance in a few days......

The goal of the mission is to help Clark quit his bad habits and then earn him three personal honors.

A block king, an All-Star, and a Defensive Player of the Year.

The All-Star thing is not too difficult, with Richard's current connections in the league, make a few phone calls, as long as Clark's data is not too watery, even if he only averages 13+10+3 data per game, then Richard can help him get into the All-Star.

As for the block king, this is difficult, but in Richard's opinion, Clark has such a good talent, as long as he quits his bad habits and gets the block king, there is still a good chance.

You must know that in the time of more than 20 minutes, this cargo can get an average of 2.4 blocks per game!

If he is allowed to play for 40 minutes, not to mention the doubling of the 2.4 block data, it seems that there is still hope for 3.5 blocks.

And 3.5 blocks per game have a chance to win the block king.

In the past two seasons, the honor of the block king has been rotating between Big Ben and Mourning, and the average data of both of them is about 3.5 per game.

As for the best defensive player, once Clark wins the block king, then with his legend, there is still a good chance to win the best defensive player.

A player who has been delayed, suddenly erupts, has a lot of topicality, and can have a great advantage when voting.

……

The difficulty of the three honors is not as difficult as the sky, and in Richard's opinion, the most difficult task is how to help Clark quit his bad habits!

If you can quit bad habits, nothing is a problem.

But is it so easy to quit alcoholism......

Richard expressed doubts that if he could really quit, then Richard would really be able to look at this thing differently.

But if he can't quit, then Richard can't help it......

It can only be left to fend for itself.

……

Everyone was looking at Richard, no one was talking, and everyone knew that Richard was now on the verge of exploding.

This is also why these people don't know much about Richard!

If this happened in the Trail Blazers locker room, then I am afraid that without Richard speaking, the Trail Blazers would directly take the dead Clark out to find a place to bury him......

Anyway, it's a waste of food to live.

……

"On behalf of the Detroit Pistons, I am announcing an indefinite team ban on Zeon Clarke!"

"By indefinite, I mean three years of early contract extension!"

"I don't pay a dime!"

"Zeon Clarke, if you have any objections to this, feel free to complain to the league management committee or the players' union!"

Richard's voice was so cold that everyone shivered......

Good guys, this punishment is so severe that it is devastating!

Including this year and the next three years of early contract extension, that's four years......

For four years, Clark was banned indefinitely and not paid a dime!

Although Clark could have complained to the league management committee or the players' union about Richard's practice, it ......

As long as Richard finds out that Clark was drinking too much and drinking tons in the middle of the game, neither the league management committee nor the players' union will be punished for this.

The reason why other teams don't want to poke it out is because they want to play to Clark's trade value, they don't want to use it, but they can sell it......

If he poked it out, Clark wouldn't be rotten in his hands.

But now Richard really dares to poke it out, he doesn't care about the value of a Clark's transaction!

……

Hearing Richard's punishment for himself, Clark was stunned, and his body collapsed to the ground like mud!

He knew he was finished!

It's really over, originally he thought he had a wonderful future under Richard's hands, but now it seems that he is completely dreaming.

Dreams are always the opposite of reality.

Not only is his front court not going to be beautiful, it's even completely finished.

If other head coaches had said so, Clarke, even if he was flustered, would not have been as distraught as he is now......

Now it is Richard who says this, and what Richard says, like Richard himself said, will never be impossible to achieve!

Richard wants him Clark to completely disappear from the league for the next four years, so he Clark won't have this opportunity to appear on the court.

Wait until four years later, who he remembers him Clark......

It's over, this time it's really over.

For a moment, Clark really wanted to cry......

"Coach, I really know it's wrong!"

"I'll never touch alcohol again, I promise I'll quit!"

Clark looked up at Richard and said with tears in his voice.

Clark himself is not very old, and facing such a huge career crisis at the moment, he is calm enough if he doesn't cry.

He now wants to use his oath to show Richard that he still has a chance to be saved, and to make Richard take back his punishment.

But Richard shook his head.

"The words of a drunkard are the same as the words of an addict, they cannot be trusted!"

"I'm sorry, Clark, I can't be stupid enough to believe a drunkard!"

As soon as he said this, Clark was completely disillusioned!

He can't wait to slap himself a few times now, why should he be greedy for those two sips of wine?!

If it weren't for drinking at halftime, it is estimated that even if Richard knew that he was an alcoholic, he probably would not face such a severe punishment.

But the timing of his drinking is quite sensitive!

It was halfway through the game......

And the key is to drink a lot!

"Please, coach!"

"Give me another chance, I really don't dare to ...... again"

Thinking that his career might be buried forever by himself, he cried directly.

Richard looked at Clark coldly.

"Zeon, it's not that I won't give you a chance, now I'll give you one last chance!"

"In the future, you will go to AA every week under my hands, and every day in the future, I will not care where you are, even if it is a rest day, even if it is an offseason, you will come to the team every day to report and do a breathalyzer test!"

"Test for three months in a row, and if there are no problems, I can cancel your indefinite ban!"

"But if you don't pass the breathalyzer test, even if it's only for one day, even if you say it's just a beer, Zeon, I advise you to think about what you're going to do for the rest of your life, because I'm not going to give anyone a second chance!"

The AA that Richard refers to is not the AA system that is often said, but the abbreviation of Alcoholic- Anonymus, that is, the Alcoholics Mutual Aid Association.

Now that Richard has given Clark his only chance, if he still can't cherish it, then all Richard can do is leave him to fend for himself.

……

As soon as he heard the only opportunity given by Richard, Clark, who was originally desperate, suddenly hugged Richard's thigh tightly like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw.

"Coach, don't worry, I will never let you down!"

"I'm going to go to AA, I'm going to come to the team every day to do a breathalyzer test, even if it's beer, I'm not going to touch it in the future!"

"I'll say goodbye to alcohol once and for all!"

"Thank you coach for the opportunity!"

Clark now has a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and he has already considered what he should make a living for the rest of his life, as Richard said.

I don't know anything, I can't make any money in the NBA, I'm afraid I'll starve to death.

But fortunately, Richard gave him another chance......

This opportunity is a lifesaver in Clark's eyes, the only hope to save his life!

He made up his mind right away that he would never touch alcohol in the future, no matter what.

In any case, we can't let this happen again!

……

The players in the locker room, no one is laughing at Clark with a handful of snot and tears at the moment.

Hu Weidong looked at Richard in shock, a person of his age can fully see Richard's methods.

Richard's treatment of Clark was to make him desperate first, and then give him a glimmer of life.

In this case, Clark will realize the seriousness of the problem and then make up his mind to stay away from alcohol!

Hu Weidong was amazed by Richard's methods, in his opinion, Richard was not much older than him, but in terms of the means of doing things, he was countless times stronger than him.

In fact, he also has the idea of entering the coaching industry after retiring, and he observes and remembers Richard's every move at the moment.

Soon after his retirement, Hu Weidong became the head coach of Jiangsu Nangang.

Although he has not retired yet, he also has similar thoughts in this regard, and if he can stay in the NBA and enter the coaching industry after the next contract, in Hu Weidong's view, it is a perfect choice.

There has been a successful case of Zhang Weiping before, and in Hu Weidong's opinion, he may not be able to become the head coach of a team like Zhang Weiping!

In the next four years, I just learned Richard's coaching methods!

……

After this incident, Richard had forgotten the idea of training the team's starters.

The emotions that had been brewing in the bathroom were now all vented on Clark.

Thinking of this, Richard sighed and waved at everyone.

"The halftime is almost over, so let's get ready to play!"

At the moment, Richard is not prepared to talk too much about the players tonight, and wait until the next game.

……

At this point in time, Richard feels that this should be the most difficult point in time in his seven years!

Even when he had just crossed over, the situation of Purdue University without soldiers and generals was not difficult in Richard's opinion.

At that time, Richard, at least the boilermen team had the potential to operate, and he could find a group of fierce generals to create results for himself!

But at this point in time, Richard has already done everything he should have done, and he has recruited almost all the quality players he can get his hands on.

But the team's combat power still doesn't look very good......

This made Richard quite uncomfortable.

If tonight's opponents are super giants like the Lakers, Spurs and Trail Blazers, if you lose, you lose.

Richard is not arrogant enough to use this lineup to compete with these super heroes!

But the key tonight's opponent is just a mere Pacers, and the existence of the goalkeeper level in the Eastern playoffs, if it is left in the West, it will definitely not even be able to enter the playoffs.

This kind of opponent can actually press his own team to play, how can Richard accept it!

……

When everyone returned to the court, Clark followed Richard like a bug.

Before this happened, he Clark regarded Richard as his lifeline, and felt that if he wanted to rise, he would definitely have to coach Richard......

So in his rookie season, he was looking forward to today.

But it was here today, but this kind of thing happened, and Clark felt that he had to obey Richard's words even more......

Because now his career is in Richard's hands.

……

"Huh? Kenny, how do you see that kid at Zeon has red eyes and looks like he's crying in the locker room? ”

"It seems like it's true, you see him has tears on his face......"

In the TNT commentary room, Barkley and Kenny Smith watched strangely as the Pistons players returned.

Barkley retired two years ago before joining TNT as an honorable match commentator.

At present, the commentary program with Kenny Smith is very impressive.

Tonight's game, although it is only a preseason game, but because of Richard's existence, TNT also broadcast live.

Everyone wants to see what kind of lineup Richard has come up with this season.

But against the Pacers, a non-slippery team in the league, the Pistons lost by double-digit points at halftime.

And looking at the trend in the second half, it seems that this point difference will continue to widen.

This made the fans a little confused......

Could it be that Richard didn't start to work this season? Just a few random players who made up the numbers?

Otherwise, these players on the field really can't solve the problem, and they will definitely not be able to help Richard win the championship.

This made many Richard fans quite anxious and worried about Richard......

said that Richard is not a player, but he has coached the Trailblazers in the past five years, because of his unique iron-blooded coaching style, he has also gathered a large number of fans for Richard.

For example, Oregon fans, even if Richard is leaving the Trail Blazers now, they still care about Richard's situation.

As for Detroit fans, it's definitely more concerned, and Richard is now with their team.

Although these fans are very worried about Richard, the next words of TNT reassured the fans.

"Charles, how do you feel that the lineup created by Richard this time is not strong enough!"

"Look, they can't even beat a team like the Pacers......"

Kenny Smith was rather speechless and asked Buckley beside him to see what Buckley thought about this.

Originally, in Kenny Smith's view, the lineup that Richard had just built may be incomparable with the original Trail Blazers in terms of combat power......

But a team like the Hammer Pacers who are goalkeepers in the Eastern Conference playoffs shouldn't be a problem, right?

But the current situation on the court, completely contrary to Kenny Smith's estimate, is that the piston has been hammered.

"Don't worry, Kenny, it's like Richard cares about the preseason when he cares!"

"Although I don't have much communication with Richard, but, it is no exaggeration to say that if this alliance wants to say who knows Richard best, I think there is no one else except for me Sir Charles!"

"In my opinion, Richard must have come up with a full bench lineup, make do with the preseason game, and wait until the regular season to make progress!"

"Look at the Pistons lineup has a Chinese guard, I have inquired about this guard, known as the Chinese Jordan!"

"I don't need to say anything more about what that means......"

Barkley said to the camera with a lot of money in his chest......

Kenny Smith's face hurts, this thing said that he didn't have any communication with Richard, and he even dared to say that he knew Richard best about this alliance?! Where did you get the confidence to say such things......

"I can guarantee that the Pistons will definitely play an amazing game after the start of the regular season!"

Barkley patted his chest and assured.

Kenny Smith asked with interest, "Charles, I know your biggest regret is that you didn't win a championship in your career. ”

"Suppose Richard invites you back to the league to play, will you have the idea of making a comeback?"

This can be regarded as revealing Buckley's scars, but looking at Barkley's expression, it seems that he is completely unimpressed.

"God, I'm sure you, now that Richard has invited me to join the Pistons, I'll be able to resign from TNT in the next second!"

"Two million dollars!"

After that, Barkley raised two fingers again and said two million dollars!

"Charles, you overestimate the value of your old bones, I can guarantee that Richard will never be willing to spend $2 million on you!" Kenny Smith quipped with a laugh.

"What are you kidding, I mean I'm willing to give Richard two million dollars, even if the Pistons don't give me a penny, I'm willing to ......" Buck looked at Kenny Smith with a foolish expression.

……

TNT's commentary style has always been quite funny, to be precise, he likes.

Amid the conversation between Barkley and Kenny Smith, the pre-season game was over.

Thomas saved some face for his old club, the Pistons, and replaced the starting lineup in the second half.

The same was true for Richard's side, switching to a pure bench lineup......

To Richard's embarrassment, his pure bench lineup narrowly missed out on the Pacers.

Collis Williams was quite hot, and after coming out in the second half, he cut 18 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and almost led the Pistons to win the game.

In the end, the Pistons only lost by three points, and the Pacers narrowly won.

……

It is conceivable how uncomfortable Richard is now, and the powerful players he has selected are not as good as the Pistons' old players, who is reasonable......
