Chapter 478: Iron-headed Baby Xiao Si
The Pistons will continue to play at home against the New Orleans Hornets.
The Hornets have always been a good team in the East, and although they have been in the first round of the playoffs most of the time, they have at least made the playoffs.
He hasn't missed the playoffs in the East in recent years.
This also shows the quality of their head coach, Paul Silas.
The Hornets lineup is very scummy, at least in Richard's opinion, it is really scum, but with such a lineup, they can still break into the playoffs, I have to say that Silas's coaching ability is really quite good.
Richard asked himself if the Hornets, who coached such a scumbag team, might not make the playoffs......
It's a pity that maybe he doesn't see people accurately enough, so the Hornets haven't gotten any top stars since he coached.
In this game, the Pistons naturally underplayed the opponent again, and did not give the opponent any chance to fight back at all.
Oku played a pretty good statistic tonight, with a double-double of 23 points and 11 rebounds, which made the Pistons fans at the scene a little excited.
Because judging from the current situation, the Pistons' interior lineup is simply extravagant.
Yao Ming and Clark, in the eyes of many Pistons, are definitely the first center and second center in the East.
Because apart from these two, there are really no center players in the East who can be compared to these two.
Now that Oku is playing again, looking at Richard's meaning, it may be to cultivate this Oku well.
Quite good long-range shooting ability, although the defense is not top-notch, but it is also fierce enough, and the low-post singles ability is not very good, but the projection ability can fully make up for his low-post singles shortcomings.
Such a player, paired with a great blue-collar player, can definitely play a pretty good inside effect.
It's no wonder that the combination of Clark and Oku works very well.
In addition to these three, Boozer and Anderson are not very important at the moment, but it seems that the potential of these two is not bad.
The main reason is that the piston has no opportunity to cultivate at the moment, so it is not very eye-catching in terms of data for the time being.
Yao Ming played 31 minutes tonight and contributed 23 points and 12 rebounds steadily.
It's already November.
When the time comes to mid-January, if Yao Ming can keep the 20+10 data credit, then he will completely meet the conditions for the binding of props.
With two months to go, Richard is still quite confident.
……
In tonight's game, Curry Sr. brought his family to watch the game, and Richard saw Curry again.
Curry is now fourteen years old, and in another year, he will be in high school.
And after high school, this little guy has at least a ninety-five percent chance of choosing Purdue University.
Richard looked at Curry and felt a little incredible.
The first time I met Curry, he was just an eight-year-old kid, and now he's almost an adult in the blink of an eye.
Well, even though he is fourteen years old, Curry still looks quite young, thin and small......
"Coach, can the Pistons win the championship this year?" After the game, Curry ran to Richard's side and asked by his arm.
"Then who knows, maybe only God can know if our Pistons can win the championship this year." Richard said with a smile.
"Aren't you God...... Curry blinked and looked at Richard whimsically.
"By the way, coach, do you think I can play in the NBA in the future?" Curry asked again.
Richard was not prepared to hide this question in the slightest.
"Yes!"
"Not only will you be able to enter the NBA, but you will also become a cross-era figure in the NBA, you will win a lot of championships, you will win a lot of MVP, and you will get much higher achievements than your father!"
"Maybe a hundred of your father's achievements can be compared to you......"
When Curry heard this, he was stunned, and he held Richard's arm and didn't let go.
A few years ago, he regarded Big Ben as his idol, but now that he is older, he knows a lot of things about Richard, and he has added Richard to his idol list.
In his mind, Richard was really a god-like figure.
Omniscient, omnipotent, omniscient!
Now Richard said that he would become a cross-era figure in the future, and he could also win countless championships and MVPs, which completely scared the kid.
"Coach, are you serious?" Curry grinned after a brief pause.
"Of course it's serious, I, Richard, never talk empty words!"
……
Old Curry on the side, listening to this big and small chat, the whole person couldn't interject at all.
He felt that Richard might be teasing his son......
But what if what Richard said is true?
……
He naturally also wants his son to enter the NBA in the future and play under Richard.
He has followed Richard for many years, and he is deeply impressed by this young coach.
In his opinion, if his son can really play for Richard in the future, he will definitely have a good future.
It's a pity that Curry's body doesn't look like playing basketball at the moment, it's too weak.
is fourteen years old, and he doesn't look much taller than his younger brother Seth Curry, the key is that he is very thin, and there is no meat on his body.
In terms of athletic ability, it may also be inherited from the old Curry, which is not very good.
With such physical fitness, can you really play basketball in the future?
Old Curry felt a little melancholy in his heart......
"Don't worry, old man, I'm not talking nonsense, this kid really has the potential to become a supergiant of this alliance in the future!"
Richard patted Curry Sr. on the shoulder and said with a smile.
This directly made old Curry stunned, could it be that what Richard said was true? Aren't you kidding your own son?!
But how can this be true......
……
In the next game between the Pistons and the Magic, what everyone didn't expect was that the Pistons lost on their home court.
Even Richard was stunned after the game.
The Magic lineup, if not plagued by injuries, is actually really strong.
Maddy, Grant Hill, Mike Miller, Drew Gooden, Girisek and veterans like Camp and Cobra on the bench.
It just so happens that the Magic lineup is neat tonight, and it's a rare fit-up......
If it's just a full lineup, it won't threaten the Pistons, after all, the Pistons are not vegetarians.
The point is that Maddie and Mike Miller both broke out tonight.
Maddie made seven three-pointers and scored 45 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, while Mike Miller also made five three-pointers and scored a career-high 31 points.
As for Grant Hill, today is also a bit of a dead wood spring, with 19 points in the account.
These three alone scored a terrifying 95 points, and think about how terrifying the magic was tonight.
Richard didn't care too much about the wins and losses of this game, as long as Yao Ming could continue the 20+10 data, and the few players he was ready to sell could play a wonderful performance.
After four consecutive home games, the Pistons are now with a super record of 9 wins and 2 losses, and they are already firmly at the top of the record list in the new season.
As for the Lakers, who were originally competing with the Pistons, they are now losing three games in a row, with a record of 7 wins and 4 losses, and they are currently ranked third in the West.
The devil knows what is going on inside the Lakers, and there is something wrong anyway, otherwise, they wouldn't have lost three games in a row.
Under normal circumstances, the Lakers have not performed well this year.
The regular season record is even worse than that of the Timberwolves, only ranked fifth in the West, and in the playoffs, they were also defeated by the Spurs 4:2 in the Western Conference semifinals.
It is precisely because of the rather bad play this season that there is an F4 squad for next season.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, the Lakers should not be the Pistons' big enemy this year.
……
Then the Pistons started another wave of road trips.
The first opponent is the Cavaliers, a well-known garbage team in the East, who has a rookie on Richard's blacklist.
As a result, Richard and the others had just arrived in Cleveland, and the newcomer Wagner immediately sent a review of 20,000 words......
Looking at this posture, this Wagner estimates that he has already started writing this review, and he has been writing it for a long time, and he has finally waited until today.
Seeing the tragic situation of Jay Williams and Dunleavy Jr., Wagner, even if he is an iron-headed baby, must be in line now.
If Richard also gave him a "prophecy", he would be quite uncomfortable.
Therefore, in the face of a devil like Richard, bowing your head is the only right choice.
……
What Richard himself didn't expect was that in the next schedule, those players who were on Richard's blacklist took the initiative to submit a review.
There's no way, Richard's product is too insidious, and it doesn't pay for his life.
Dunleavy Jr. is a prime example of this, a group of newcomers who are hopeful about their future and don't want to repeat Dunleavy Jr.'s mistakes.
Therefore, there is only one choice in front of them, and that is to obediently submit a review to Richard.
"Good!"
"That's good!"
"Well, if you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you're still a good boy."
"I'm optimistic about you, work hard."
Every time Richard happily received the review book, he couldn't help but praise these boys.
In fact, Richard didn't hate these young people very much.
What he said at the beginning, young people with a little bit of blood will definitely not be convinced.
And the reason why Richard came up with a blacklist is not actually to get these newcomers.
His real purpose is to find an excuse not to let the game go into garbage time too early, and prevent Yao Ming's 20+10 record from being broken.
Of course, it also has the purpose of deterring this group of newcomers.
When Da Yao first entered the league, he was provoked by many rookie players in the same class, which Richard remembers very well.
Now scare and scare these new melons and eggs, let them be honest, and save some bullshit again.
……
Of course, most of the newcomers are afraid of Richard's obscenity and hand in the review, but there are still iron-headed babies.
For example, the Rockets' Xiao Si......
This may also be because he is too young to know what to do, anyway, in the face of the situation that many newcomers have submitted review letters, he has openly opened up cruel words, and it is absolutely impossible to write even a word of review to Richard.
Even when the two teams play, he will teach the Pistons a good lesson and Yao Ming a good lesson.
I'm afraid this is a typical iron-headed baby......
Richard knew about this, and he was not angry, since Xiao Si wanted to die, then he had a hundred ways to make Xiao Si better than dead.
Because the Rockets and Pistons are separated from each other, there are only two chances to face each other in a season.
The first meeting between the two teams is in mid-December, which is still some time away.
……
In the blink of an eye, the November schedule is over.
In this one-and-a-half-month schedule, the Pistons played a total of 22 games and scored an impressive record of 17 wins and 5 losses.
Most of the five games lost were super outbursts of opponents, and only one Trail Blazers won against the Pistons with hard power.
In the face of the opponent's super outburst, Richard couldn't come up with any good way to deal with it.
No matter how strong the team is, it is impossible to maintain a winning streak all the time, not to mention that the current Pistons are not strong enough to go against the sky.
The previous Trail Blazers had a winning record in a single season, but that was only taking advantage of the small number of games, and if they really played a full 82 games, the Trail Blazers might not be able to win them all.
With the current Pistons' 17-5 record, Richard is already quite satisfied.
