The Christmas war is in full swing.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with the pistons......

This is also the first time in recent years that Richard has missed the Christmas game.

……

The clock is at the end of December, and the regular season has been played for two and a half months.

In the two-and-a-half-month period, the Pistons played a total of 34 games and had a 17-17 record.

That's exactly a 50% win rate......

What Richard didn't expect was that this season had been paddled like this, and now he is in the top six in the East here!

It really made Richard a little speechless......

The main thing is that the record in the east is quite bad.

The Kings in the West, with a 28-7 record at the moment, have a winning percentage just like their style of play, which is quite gorgeous, and is currently at the top of the league's record list.

As for the Trail Blazers, they currently have the second best record in the West and second in the league......

It's not that the Trailblazers can't play a record comparable to that of the King, but Zhang Weiping also has the intention of recuperating.

The Trail Blazers currently have a 26-9 record.

The third-place team in the West is the Lakers, who are currently 25-11 and third in the league.

As for the Spurs, who are fourth in the West, they are 24-12 and fourth in the record list.

It wasn't until the fifth place in the record list that the team in the East finally appeared, that is, the New Jersey Nets, who have performed quite well this year.

With a 23-13 record, they are currently firmly in the first place in the East.

The second and third places in the East are the 76ers and the Green Kai......

As for the Bulls, who were quite dazzling last season, not long after the start of this season, Brand suffered an injury, resulting in their current record is only slightly better than that of the Pistons.

The Pistons currently have a win rate of only 50%, but they are sitting in the sixth place in the East.

This left Richard completely speechless, and it turned out to be such a simple thing to make the playoffs in the East......

In the West, they don't have as much of a win rate as the eighth-ranked Jazz.

……

The current record ranks sixth in the East, but it makes Richard worried.

He really didn't plan to make the playoffs, of course, he wasn't ready to completely mess up, he just wanted to play with the fate and not make the playoffs anyway.

As long as he doesn't make the playoffs, then Richard will go to the lottery ceremony and he will be able to draw the top pick.

But what makes Richard speechless now is that they have quietly entered the top six in the East with this kind of casual play.

He really doesn't want to be in the top six, he just wants to swing back in the top 10 in the East......

If the head coaches of other teams knew what Richard was thinking, I am afraid that they would unite to strangle Richard to death.

……

In the current situation, it seems that you can't do it without putting it off!

If it doesn't mess up, maybe the Pistons can really make the playoffs quietly, and then Richard will have no place to reason......

Seventh in the East is the Indiana Pacers, who currently have a 16-18 record.

Eighth in the East is the Charlotte Hornets, who also have a 15-18 record.

The latter two teams are not far from the Pistons, and the Pistons can probably catch up with them by losing two games casually.

……

There is less than half a month to go, and Clark will be able to release it, and when the time comes, let's see how Clark is doing, and then start to mess around.

Half a month later, what made Richard speechless was that their record in the half-month schedule was actually quite bad, with only a 2-4 record......

As a result, in this case, the Pacers and Hornets behind still haven't caught up, and they haven't played any decent results in recent days.

This almost drove Richard crazy......

Why don't you want to make the playoffs, it's become such a difficult thing.

……

On January 6, Clark appeared in Richard's office in a hurry.

"Coach, I did it!" Clark, who had just finished his breathalyzer test, couldn't wait to come to Richard for good news.

Today is the last day of the three months agreed with Richard!

For three months, Clark actively participated in alcoholics rehabilitation, and then came to the arena every day for a breathalyzer test, never missing a day.

"Congratulations, Zeon, you're ready to play tonight!" Richard also laughed and congratulated Clark heartily.

After quitting his alcohol addiction, Clark looked a lot more energetic and energetic.

In the past three months, although Clark has not been able to play, he has not fallen behind in the daily training and team training games.

He even worked a little harder than the other players......

The hard work paid off, and Clark's performance could be regarded as winning Richard's respect.

"Thank you, Coach!"

"I've figured out a lot in these three months, thank you for keeping me away from vices!"

"If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to get along in this alliance in less than two years."

Clark took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Richard.

Richard waved his hand, "Don't say so many meaty words, it's all men, hurry up and go to training!" ”

"Although your kid has quit drinking now, the ugly words still have to be said in front!"

"If you perform well on the field, then you can play for a while longer, and if you don't perform well, then you won't get any special treatment!"

"I fought for the opportunity, so every minute and every second on the field cheered me up!"

Richard may also be afraid that Clark will swell, so he beat it again.

……

Seeing Clark leave his office, Richard was actually a little curious.

This Clark has almost been successfully transformed by Richard.

It is not only the transformation of personal ability, but more importantly, the transformation of the mind......

Under normal circumstances, Clark has a good talent, but seeing Tian'er's alcoholism, he didn't make anything decent at all.

In Richard's opinion, if Clark hadn't been an alcoholic, he would have been a player like Marcus Camby with his physical gifts.

Even if it's almost, it's at least the level of the 76ers blocking the interior Ratliffe.

Mainly from the attribute point of view, this guy's defensive ability is quite strong, and in Richard's opinion, if he is fully grown, his single defense ability is even stronger than Camby.

As we all know, Camby's single defense ability is not very good, even if he has won the honor of DPOY, it does not mean that his single defense ability is good.

All of his defensive prowess is largely focused on helping defence.

As for Clark, his single defense ability and assistance defense ability are quite good, although it is not as good as Big Ben, but the gap is not too big......

What really has a gap with Big Ben is the strength of rebounding.

And now with Brand's All-Star Light playing its part, Clark's rebounding attribute has increased to 84, which is certainly not bad if it is left in the interior group.

……

Before the game started in the evening, Richard thought about it and simply took out a universal attribute pill to increase Clark's rebounding attribute to 85 points.

A universal attribute pill is not particularly precious, but the attribute that Clark has improved is extremely precious.

Every five attributes is a hurdle.

The rebounding level of 85 points is a small step up from 84 points.

Clark's performance in the past three months is really good, otherwise, Richard would definitely not be happy to waste props on him.

Now that he had come to his senses, Richard felt like he would simply help him again.

……

"Let go of the fight, don't care if you win or lose!"

"Zeon, give you a chance to start tonight, I hope you can take advantage of it!"

Richard patted Clark on the shoulder and cheered him up.

"Coach, I'm going to make a perfect big data tonight!" Clark trembled with excitement.

He felt like he wasn't as excited as tonight even if he made his rookie season debut!

In his opinion, tonight is his real debut, the debut of the new Clark!

He is no longer the original drunken Clark, but a reborn Clark.

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.

The opponent is the well-known Cleveland Cavaliers in the East, and their current record can be said to be quite embarrassing.

Starting lineup: center big Z Ilguskas, power forward veteran Teylon Hill, small forward Ramon Murray, point guard Boson, point guard Andre Miller.

Big Z can actually be considered one of the top centers in the league right now......

Not to mention, the top 10 will definitely be ranked.

As for Andre Miller, his strength is quite good, his organizational skills are quite outstanding, and he finished second in the assist list last season.

The strength of the inner and outer cores is actually okay, but the players in other positions are really a bit too scummy......

Teylon-Hill is really too old and too old at the moment, and those who were abused by Big Ben a few years ago have the idea of retiring, but the knights persuaded him to come back and let him continue to shine in the knights.

As soon as the game began, Clark easily got the ball for the Pistons.

It's really easy, the bulky big Z has just jumped, and Clarke, who is incredibly fast, has already dialed the ball to Nash.

Like the wind, Nash directly led the generals towards the frontcourt.

Then, to the shock of all the fans, Clark showed his amazing physical talent, and his super speed was not inferior to the opponent's backcourt players at all!

Running with all his might, Clark was really like a beast, which made Big Z stunned.

He's been playing in the league for a few years, but he really didn't notice that there was a center player in the league with that pace.

……

Nash had already dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, while Clarke was instantaneous, did not stop at all, and continued to rush towards the restricted area with his head down.

The moment he crossed the free throw line, the ball in Nash's hand passed vigorously, and Clark also jumped up directly.

received Nash's pass in mid-air, and directly hit a tomahawk-style dunk, successfully playing the first offensive round of the night!

This attack can be said to be perfect, and it is definitely the top 10 goals that can score tonight!

The cooperation between the two went smoothly, and there was no stagnation at all......

Richard is well aware that this is the result of the last three months of training.

Clark has not been idle for the past three months, and the team training is more active than anyone else, and he and Nash have also developed a certain tacit understanding.

This is the scene where the two work together perfectly at the beginning.

Of course, there is also a reason why Nash's passing is too subtle, and if you change to other point guards, it is difficult to develop this level of tacit understanding in just three months.

……

As soon as the game began, Clark delivered a shocking super tomahawk-style slam that shocked the fans at the scene and forgot to applaud.

"God, how did this Clark get so fast?"

"I've paid attention to this kid before, and although he has good physical talent, it's not almost this point, right?"

In the TNT commentary room, Kenny Smith was dumbfounded.

Comparing goods to throw, compared to Clark's speed, the speed of Big Z is simply unwatchable.

"Not only is the speed fast, this bounce is also really amazing, just now the head is almost flat basket, how the hell did this guy do it?!"

"Could it be that during the three months of disappearance, Richard gave him some devil training?" Charles Barkley was also dumbfounded.

Because in a 211-centimeter-tall interior player, they see physical qualities that should not be there.

Comparable to the speed of a guard, the ability to bounce a flat basket dunk!

……

In this first offensive round, Clark's performance really reminded Richard of a person, the little bully Stoudemire.

It doesn't seem right, Clark is much stronger than Stoudemire, but his speed and jumping ability are really not inferior to Stoudemire.

……

Next, it was the Knight's turn to attack, and Big Z was careless, and his careless mid-range shot actually ate a hot pot from Clark!

In the next offensive round, Clark seemed to have played chicken blood, and his presence on the court was full......

Offense, defense, rebounding, there's no job he can't do!

When the eighth minute of the first quarter went, Cavaliers head coach John Lucas called a timeout.

This timeout is not called no, because Big Z is almost blown up on the field.

In just eight minutes, Clark, who was opposite Big Z, had already scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal!

On the other hand, Big Z, who has the highest salary, is now only 3 points in his account, which is completely incomparable with Clark!

……

The Pistons fans at the scene are already difficult to describe the excitement in their hearts in words.

Is this Clark's true strength?!

This should be the reason why Richard said that he is a super inside seedling......

Look at Clark's performance in the first quarter, it is really not an exaggeration to say that he is a super inside seedling!

12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal, offensive and defensive ends and even rebounds, in the case of the league's top ten center Z Ilguskas, all advantaged!

It's not too much to even say that it's a hammer big Z.

After all, the data gap between the two sides is really big!

That's kind of scary......

Big Z is also the top 10 center in the league anyway, and now that Clark has hammered Big Z, how much should Clark rank?

Anyway, it's qualified to be in the top five!

……

In the second quarter of the game, Clark continued his fiery performance in the first quarter, and scored in double digits on the offensive end.

10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block!

The Pistons fans are crazy, and they almost hit 20+10 data in halftime, which is not a super inside seedling at all, this is already a super inside.

……

Richard was very uncomfortable, and all he was thinking about now was how to lose, and as a result, Clark teamed up with Nash tonight and almost blew the Cavaliers into the half.

Before the third quarter of the game was over, the Cavaliers almost gave up the game and didn't let Big Z play again.

Richard naturally took Clark off the court, and even Nash took the game and replaced him with a bunch of pure bench lineups.

Even so, in the end, the winner of this game was the Pistons......

"It's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable, why is it so hard to lose!"

"It feels like it's harder to lose than to win...... Richard cried in his heart.

……

Clark tonight was his debut under Richard.

The data cut out can definitely appear in tomorrow's headlines!

33 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 steals, a 30+15+5 data, just like a super inside data!

If you really want to say that Clark has such strength at the moment, it is actually not ......

There are quite a few reasons for this kind of data.

The first reason is that Clark is really suffocated, and he has accumulated countless energy in his body for more than three months, and he has been looking forward to this game for a long time!

It is conceivable that he is on the field tonight, and he is definitely fighting like a desperate fight!

The second reason is the credit of Nash's passing.

Clark's offense is a bit rough, although it's a little better than Big Ben, but it's still not enough to see compared to those top interior players.

If it weren't for Nash's various exquisite passes, it is estimated that Clark would have scored more than ten points tonight, and he would definitely not have reached the level of 30+.

A legendary point guard like Nash, he really has the ability to turn decay into magic, and the more a physical interior player like Clarke, the more he can benefit from Nash.

Because Nash can deliver the ball to them with precision, the only thing they need to do is jump and put the ball in the basket!

As for the third reason, it must be that the knights are too weak.

They couldn't form an effective defense against Clark and couldn't cut off Nash's pass to Clark.

For these three reasons, it's quite normal for Clark to have an outburst tonight.

Richard finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that it was not a loss to train Clarke.

At least for now, it's already playing a good role......

When Yao joins the Pistons next year, Clark may become Yao Ming's best right-hand man.
