Chapter 578: A Moment of Silence for the Suns

"Mr. Richard, the press conference is about to begin, and the reporters have already entered the venue." The staff outside reminded Richard.

"Let's go, old man, let's go to the press conference." Richard said with a smile at Jordan.

……

In the conference room, Richard and Jordan attended together.

The gold content of these two people is self-evident, and they are both among the most important figures in the basketball circle.

And now both of them still have a layer of identity, that is, the boss of the pirate team.

The reporters cheered up, and tonight's press conference will definitely be quite exciting.

"Mr. Richard, what the hell is going on tonight? Why is there such a huge conflict? ”

Before Richard and Jordan could sit down, a reporter couldn't wait to ask questions.

This kind of knowingly asked question made Richard a little dissatisfied.

What happened on the field? Don't you know?

"What happened on the field, I don't think I need to say more, Steven Hunt fouled our starting center, Vallejo, and he got the punishment he deserved!" Richard said coldly.

The reporters were speechless, if only things were as easy as you said.

'I'm saddened that this kind of thing happened to our new team, and I don't know what that Hunter was crazy about, why he did that to Vallejo.

"You know, this kind of thing was pretty rare even in my playing days!"

Jordan picked up the microphone and said to the reporters in a dull tone.

The reporters in the audience can generally figure out the next routine of the two bosses of the Pirates, which is nothing more than to splash all the dirty water on the Suns in order to reduce the league's upcoming punishment.

It's normal to think about it, it's really Hunter who caused trouble tonight, and Richard and Jordan can't find fault with this approach.

As soon as Jordan's words fell, Richard continued.

"Everyone knows that we are a new army, but if these garbage think that the new army is easy to bully, then they are wrong."

"We are pirates!"

"And he is also the most ferocious pirate, if we don't hunt you, you should have fun, and dare to fight our pirate idea, this is simply self-defeating!"

"Suns, I don't care if Hunter came up with this idea in his own brain, or if someone instructed him."

"Anyway, this account, I, Richard, will be counted on your Suns!"

"Wash your ass and wait for me Richard, you'll regret what happened tonight."

The reporters in the audience widened their eyes, and Richard had made a declaration of war.

Which team was the team that made Richard publicly declare war last time......

Utah Jazz!

Think about the tragic situation of the Jazz team, which was originally a thriving super powerhouse, but was tortured by Richard and worse than death, and then directly became a half-fish belly team in the West.

Could it be that the next Suns will repeat the mistakes of the Jazz?!

You must know that the strength of the Suns is good at the moment, at least there is no problem at all to reach the Western Conference playoffs.

Now their only problem is the lack of a qualified backfield engine!

But as soon as this thing comes out, how can the Suns recruit backcourt engines?!

Richard has already spoken out to clean up with your Suns, and most of these backcourt engines are small players, not thick-skinned guys like Hunter.

Joining the Suns at this point in time, isn't that an act of delivering food......

And, most crucially, think about the league's current strong point guards, it seems that the vast majority of them are players who have played under Richard.

Now that Richard has spoken, will they join the Suns at this point in time?!

For a while, the reporters in the audience mourned for the Suns, what kind of bad luck did this team take, and the good ones actually provoked Richard.

Honestly, can't you? I had to send myself to Richard's butcher's knife.

Reporters feel that Richard's creation of a new army may be the right time to find an opportunity to assert his authority.

The Suns, a stunned team, were actually sent to the door at this point in time, I really don't know what they were thinking.

This is definitely an example of not dying without dying.

……

"Is it that I, Richard, have been honest for too long and made you forget what kind of person I am?"

"Is it me Richard who can't lift the knife, or are you floating?!"

"Now that I'm so bold that I dare to attack my players!" Richard's cold tone made the reporters in the audience shudder.

These words immediately reminded the reporters of Richard's previous great achievements.

During the Trail Blazers dynasty, did anyone in this league dare to mess with Richard?

Absolutely not, the Pioneer Gangs led by Richard, with an absolutely iron-blooded style, suppressed the whole league and dared not speak.

At that time, many players were afraid when they heard Richard's name.

Later, as Richard jumped to the Pistons, and spent three years relatively peacefully, many players may have really forgotten Richard's ferocity.

In the past three years, many new players have entered the league, and many fringe players have been given the opportunity to express themselves, and they have not experienced the fear of hanging in the shadow of Richard.

……

Now Richard's words can be regarded as a reminder to everyone that Richard is still the same Richard, and he is still the devilish head coach.

Looking at Richard's tone just now, reporters know very well that if the Suns don't show their sincerity, their end will definitely be a little miserable.

Although the two teams are located in the east and west, there are not many encounters in a season, and they have already met once this season, leaving only the last one.

But even if there is only one hand-to-hand opportunity left, if Richard is ruthless, unless the Suns use all pure bench lineups, their main team will definitely be quite dangerous.

And that's not all.

The most critical thing is that the Suns' No. 1 reinforcement was pinched by Richard.

Everyone knows that the Suns want Nash, and their desire for Nash is quite obvious.

They are now waiting for Nash's contract with the Pistons to end before abducting Nash to the Suns.

That's when the Suns really rise.

But the worst thing is that Nash is Richard's man......

He has won two championships in a row with Richard, and he is currently staying well with the Pistons, if Richard dissuades Nash from joining the Suns, Nash may really refuse the Suns' temptation.

In this way, the Suns will be cool, and their roster can make the playoffs, but if they want to improve in the playoffs, they will definitely not be able to do without Nash.

Kidd could slightly replace Nash, and he's also a good player when he plays fast.

But Kidd is now under contract with the Nets, unless the Suns are willing to trade Kidd......

The Suns really don't have any good chips to trade now, valuable players are all essential players for the system, and the Nets definitely don't look down on D'Antoni as a player that the system can't use.

The most important thing is that Kidd is not happy to return to the Suns, he sold Kidd at the beginning, and now he is turning his head and begging people to come back, doesn't Kidd want to lose face......

As for the other No. 1 players, D'Antoni is very clear that the effect of using them will definitely not be too good.

It can be said that all the hopes of the Suns are now pinned on Nash.

At this juncture, they offended Richard to death in a down-to-earth manner, which was simply self-defeating.

……

The reporters at the scene mourned for the Suns one after another, and this western fish belly finally caught an opportunity to rise, but it was buried by his own hands.

However, the reporters are also well aware that there is no room for relaxation in this matter.

The premise is that the Suns have to show their sincerity in order to dispel Richard's anger.

There is no absolute grudge, only absolute interests.

Of course, this is just the thoughts of reporters, and Richard has no idea of de-escalating with the Suns at the moment.

He needs a team to stand up, and he needs the new Pirate army to maintain this toughness, and to keep going, and this kind of toughness can become the team culture of the Pirates.

……

"Okay, I think it's time for today's press conference to end, and it's time for me to have a drink with Richard."

"I don't know what kind of punishment the alliance will give tomorrow, God forbid, I hope the punishment is not too severe, you must know that we are just a new army."

Jordan's expression was quite relaxed, and he smiled happily at the reporters.

The reporters were speechless, they were all at this juncture, you old rascal still want to have a drink with Richard.
