Chapter 438: Quest "Defending the Last Glory of the Center"

After returning to the locker room, Richard went to the bathroom, just in time to think about how to change his current mental outlook!

In Richard's opinion, this team is really not comparable to the Trail Blazers!

Even the Trailblazers in their first year of coaching are completely incomparable......

The Trail Blazers are a lion, no matter what kind of game it is, even if it's just a preseason game, the players who appear on the court are all out of the spirit of desperate Saburo.

The reason for this situation is because the team has an iron-blooded core like Big Ben, who is the soul of the Trailblazers!

There are also Predators such as Kobe, and even if some of the other players are lazy, they are all working the court under the drive of these Predators.

But at the moment, this Piston lacks Predators like Big Ben and Kobe.

Nash is definitely the biggest player on the Pistons team right now, but the question is does Nash have any iron temperament?

No......

Nash is completely unrelated to the word Iron Will.

It's true that he often bleeds on the field, but he was beaten......

Robert Horry, who gave the Spurs, cracked his brow bone.

Parker, the sports car that gave the Spurs, broke his nose bone and nearly disfigured him......

There have been many nosebleeds on the field throughout his career.

It is said that persimmons should be picked up and pinched, and there is no doubt that Nash is almost a soft persimmon on the field.

Because of his importance to the team, coupled with the fact that he seems to be harmless, he is often the target of malicious fouls on the court.

Now that Richard dares to take Nash, he has plenty of certainty to protect Nash.

Under his own hands, whoever dares to touch Nash will definitely make the other party pay the price of blood.

……

In the first half of the game, although Richard also made substitutions, he let the team start for most of the time.

But among the five starters, except for Nash, the performance of the other four made Richard quite dissatisfied.

Nash scored a total of 19 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in the first half of the game.

The performance of the other four was a little unbearable......

Oku is okay, the execution of the pick-and-roll tactics is okay, but the defensive end has some of a match, allowing Brad Miller to score 10 points in the first half.

What really upset Richard was Ragabel, Gerrard, and Anderson.

In Richard's opinion, the greatest value of these three is their defense, especially Bale and Anderson.

If they don't defend properly, Richard really can't think of any value they have to themselves.

In Richard's view, the defense of these three men is completely fake.

It looks quite positive, but it is not hard enough, and it does not reflect the iron-blooded defense at all.

……

After coming out of the toilet, Richard had already figured out how to stimulate the rookie players.

The rookie players are all stunned.

Say something harsh, scare them, and you can achieve good results......

But as soon as he returned to the locker room, Richard smelled a pungent smell of alcohol on the tip of his nose.

In fact, it is quite normal for the locker room to smell of alcohol, and generally when a player is injured in a game, he will be disinfected with medical alcohol first.

But Richard could clearly smell this smell of alcohol, definitely not medical alcohol, but agave?

The smell of agave is quite special, so Richard smelled it immediately.

……

Someone dares to drink in their own locker room?!

And fucking drinking at halftime of the game?!

Richard exploded instantly, and his whole face turned red......

Good guy, at the end of the half, everyone knew that Richard was not in a good mood, but in this case, someone dared to commit a crime against the wind, this is definitely looking for death!

……

Many teams in the league have messy locker rooms, filled with the smell of marijuana leaves, alcohol, and smoke, but in Richard's locker room, this smell never appears.

Richard has always been strict with them.

Any drugs, even marijuana, Richard did not allow any Trail Blazers players to touch them, and he mentioned more than once that anyone touched these things, no matter who they were, would be banned from the team indefinitely.

Even if it's Big Ben and others, it's no exception!

As for things like tobacco and alcohol, Richard is also very strict, and he can come a little on his day off, but of course only a little.

On training day and match day, if you are caught by Richard, the end will also be quite miserable.

……

Think about it, and it is this kind of strict requirements that has created such a hard-working team as the Trailblazers.

If everyone drinks heavily every day and smokes leaves every day, then even the best talent will be wasted.

There are countless talented stars in history who have fallen due to alcohol and drugs.

Not to mention anything else, there are quite a few in the league at the moment, such as Coleman, the former head of the Philadelphia 76ers, who is an absolutely talented power forward.

But because of alcohol and drugs, it has completely fallen, and now Coleman is not counted in the league.

For example, Rain Man Kemp, who could have hammered the existence of the Oban combination at the beginning, and one person hammered Auburn and the two of them, easily.

But now? Because of alcohol and drugs, this guy has fallen so bad that he can't even touch the basket.

With so many negative teaching materials, it's no wonder that Richard can tolerate these bullshit things!

In Richard's view, this is not only responsible for the team's record, but also for the future of these players......

Richard doesn't want the players he coaches to fall in the future because of these things!

Of course, a player like Ricky Davies who doesn't know what to do is an exception, and Richard will definitely not care about the life or death of such a player.

……

When Richard came, everyone fell silent.

"I smell the smell of agave, come, tell me, who is so Yaxing?" Richard asked with a sneer.

At this question, several players immediately lowered their heads.

Richard was stunned, couldn't it be that these people were all drinking in the middle of the game?

"Atkins, look up." Richard said coldly.

Atkins looked a little ugly, and raised his head, not daring to look into Richard's eyes......

"Coach, I didn't drink......"

"It's not me ......"

Atkins was already aware of Richard's outburst.

Good guy, he was just a draft loser, and he finally relied on his own efforts, and now he has made a little bit of a result, if he is disgusted by Richard, his previous efforts will be completely in vain.

So he straightened himself off.

"Oh? Tell me, who drank the wine? Don't tell me, it's my nose that's wrong. Richard asked with a sneer.

Atkins was in trouble, he didn't drink, but he knew who did.

In fact, the Pistons veterans know who drank the drink.

But this kind of thing is essentially no different from making a small report, and this is the biggest taboo in the locker room.

Atkins didn't know how to say anything right now.

He didn't want Richard to loathe himself, and he didn't want people to feel like a snitch.

"Tell me out loud, who it is!" Richard roared.

He was now completely angry and uncontrollable......

The team didn't start the game as well as Richard had envisioned, and now someone dared to drink at half-time.

This is provoking his Richard's bottom line!

Startled by Richard's roar, young Atkins felt a little broken, lowered his head, and whispered, "It's Clarke......"

Richard's eyes were like knives, and he immediately stared at Zeon Clarke, who was hiding behind the crowd at the moment!

"Get out!" Richard yelled directly.

Clark peeled through the crowd with a look of horror on his face......

He did drink, but he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem just now.

In fact, when he was with the Bucks, George Karl also knew about it, and after coming to the Pistons, former Pistons head coach George Irving also knew about it.

But they just turned a blind eye to it.

Maybe he was dissatisfied, but he didn't say much, and George Carr may have sold Clark to the Magic when he was a year with the Bucks because of this.

Magic head coach Doug Rivers probably sold him to the Pistons because of this situation.

There have been three head coaches in three years, and no one cares about Clark's alcoholism, and no one is as angry as Richard.

Seeing Clark's frightened face, Richard did not speak to him, but continued to ask Atkins.

"He drank at halftime during his year with the Pistons?"

"Uh-huh......" Atkins whispered.

"You have to drink a pint of wine every game...... Barros added......

Richard is going crazy, what the fuck is this weird player!

Drink a pint of wine every time you compete, that's more than a pound of wine!

Richard now knows why Clark is so strong, but his performance is like shit.

This guy has always been drunk, so it's no wonder that he can play well!

"Did you drink like that during the two years you were with the Bucks and the Magic?" Richard asked Clark coldly.

"Don't try to lie to me, I'll know the truth with just a phone call!"

……

Clark nodded in horror, he felt like he was in trouble......

Seeing that Clark nodded, Richard bared his teeth and grinned, eager to smack this Clark hard.

He now regrets that he used the All-Star Light for this guy, and this kind of self-depraved guy should poke out his glorious deeds.

The reason why his other managers probably didn't poke this out is probably because they are afraid of affecting the trade value of this product.

If everyone knew about this well-known drink, drinking a pound at a time, who would dare to use such a guy.

If Richard pokes this thing out, even if this guy can't fight at that time, Richard will not be half responsible.

Who can blame him for his own self-depravity?

Not to mention that Richard is not the real God, even the real God cannot save the self-degenerate.

……

With Clark nodding, Richard probably had a player in mind, and now he was almost certain that Clark was the thing he had in mind.

There are actually a lot of talented interior players in the history of the league, but many of them have died by themselves and their futures.

At the moment, there are Coleman and Camp and others in the league who have killed themselves, and there are two quite representative figures......

One is Larry Sanders, nicknamed the poet, Richard is quite familiar with this player, and like many people, he secretly feels sorry for this player.

Played a triple-double as a substitute......

It's not an ordinary triple-double, it's a cap triple-double!

In the third season of his career, he averaged 27 minutes per game, but he was able to average 2.8 blocks per game, ranking second in the league.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you give him more time to appear, this product is definitely the king of blocks!

But this product may have a hole in his head, and a good professional player doesn't do it, so he has to run to become an artist, wasting his talent in vain.

A player who is more similar to the poet Sanders, or more bizarre than Sanders.

Richard didn't remember his name, only the nickname "Octopus".

Now he knows the name, and it's Zeon Clark!

It's the guy in front of you who makes himself half angry......

Octopus is known for his tough blocking ability, having a strong performance of 12 blocks in a single game.

You must know that before this, the single-game block record recorded in the history of the league was higher than O'Neal, Manute Ball, Bradley and Big Dream.

Another single-game block stat that is higher than him is the big white edge, but the big white edge has not yet emerged......

It can be said that the octopus is one of the top five cap masters in history.

Richard remembers that this guy has averaged more than 20 minutes per game, but can get an average of 2.4 blocks per game.

The most important thing is that according to what this product said after retiring, and what his teammates said about him, this product has never really been sober in his entire career.

It's customary to drink a pint on race day......

I even drink during intermission!

The reason why Richard knew that the Clark in front of him was an octopus was actually because of the halftime drinking.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there are countless drunkards, but he is the only one who can be mad enough to be mad to the point of Clark......

……

Now Richard understands why this product is so strong, but he can't play any decent performance.

For a moment, Richard was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

……

Just as Richard was about to suspend Clarke permanently from the team this season, the system tone suddenly sounded.

"Congratulations to the host Richard, for opening the series of missions "Defending the Last Glory of the Center"!"

"The withering of the center is the general trend of the times, and the goal of this series of missions is to save the fire of the center from completely disappearing in the tide of the times."

"Mission Goal: Help Zeon Clarke kick his bad habits and grow into a top blue-collar center, winning at least one block king honor, one All-Star honor, and one Defensive Player of the Year honor!"

"Quest rewards: 3 points for famous spots, 3 points for all attributes of the coach (including luck points), 1 high-level injury scroll, and a permanent item Zeon Clark's hot pot!"

"Advanced Injury Scroll: After being used on the target player, all injuries can be eliminated for the target player within two years, making them return to the form of two years ago, and there is a greater chance of eliminating the target player's old illness!"

"Zeon Clarke's Hot Pot: A permanent item that can be bound once a year and can be bound to any center player, giving him 100% blocking ability at his prime!"

The successive system prompts made Richard a little dumbfounded.

This is the beginning of a new series of tasks......

The previous god-making mission was also a series of tasks, but it has always been a primary god-making mission, and at the moment Richard doesn't know how to start an intermediate god-making mission.

Now with the octopus exposed, Richard has directly started another series of tasks.

Defend the last glory of the center!

As soon as you hear the name of this mission, it must be related to the players in the center position......

It may be that the system has a special preference for center players, and does not want the era of center forwards to wither too soon, so this task is released.

Of course, it's also possible that there are similar tasks anywhere.

Anyway, now Richard has successfully triggered the mission.

In his opinion, there may be some similar tasks in the future, so that he can save some talented but unplayed center players.

Like Auden the Great, like the poet Larry Sanders.

Maybe even Kwame Brown is among the targets of the rescue......

If it was just a mission, it wasn't enough to calm Richard's anger.

For this kind of self-depraved dead player, Richard will never take the initiative to lend a hand!

But now the rewards of the mission are really a bit too amazing.

The three points of fame and the three points of the coach that contain the full attributes of the lucky value, this is quite precious.

There is also a priceless high-level injury scroll, which is simply a good thing to bring back to life, and in terms of value, it is no worse than the intact Dan.

And most importantly, Clark's hot pot!

This prop makes Richard's eyes quite hot, and it can bind any center player to make it get the peak Clark's blocking ability!

It's definitely a great thing worth a fortune......

Any fan who knows Richard well knows that Richard has an inexplicable preference for center players.

This is true, not made up by the fans, even Richard himself admits that he does prefer interior players over other positions.

Even if this Clark's hot pot is not used by Yao Ming, it is quite powerful for other players under his hands!

……

After a moment of thought, Richard felt the need to complete this task!

The reward for this quest was so appealing to Richard that it made his eyes hot!

But Clark's behavior made Richard quite angry......

For a while, Richard was in a dilemma and didn't know how to start.
