The trade was completed that night, and early the next morning, the Piccaneers and Pistons made a joint official announcement.

The deal went straight to the East's madness, and the Pistons were already strong enough, and as a result, Richard gave them a pretty good rookie almost for nothing.

With Batum's current strength, I dare not say that in this lineup of the Pistons, he averaged about 13 points and 5 rebounds per game with a good shooting rate, which is really not that difficult.

Such a newcomer, Richard actually gave it to the Pistons for nothing? No one knew what Richard was thinking.

If there is any team on the Eastern side that is most unhappy with this deal, it is undoubtedly the Cavaliers.

As things stand, the Pirates are still the dominant players in the East, and the second-ranked Cavaliers and third-ranked Pistons will meet in the second round of the playoffs.

Now that Richard has directly improved the strength of the Pistons, it is no wonder that the Cavaliers can be satisfied.

Cavaliers head coach Brother Bread began to complain at the press conference.

"The Buccaneers are so rich, so rich that they can send away new people with All-Star potential at will."

"Now what Richard has done has completely disrupted the pattern in the east, this completely unequal deal, I don't know why Richard did it."

"In my opinion, the only explanation is that Richard is jealous of our Cavaliers and uses this trade to improve the Pistons, preparing to consume our Cavaliers in the second round of the playoffs."

"That's the only possible explanation, otherwise, I can't figure out why Richard did it!"

Baker Mike Brown said helplessly to the reporters.

When the reporters in the audience heard Brother Bread's words, they couldn't help but roll their eyes, Richard is afraid of you knights? It's not funny at all.

Although these reporters don't know what the hell Richard is up to, they certainly don't want to improve the strength of the Pistons to consume the Cavaliers as Brother Bread said......

The Cavaliers have a good roster this year, but in the eyes of reporters, it is pure fool's dream to shake the status of the Pirates, and Mike Brown, the new coach, is still too young and takes things for granted.

"Coach Brown, if I'm not mistaken, you're saying Richard is jealous of you knights?" A reporter stood up to ask a question, a smile on his face.

It's been a long time since there has been any bullshit in the league, and now Mike Brown, the raw melon and egg coach, is afraid that he is not crazy and dares to make such a big statement.

"That's right, there's only one explanation!"

"Think about it, we have O'Neal, we have James, we have Jamison, we have countless quality players, it's not impossible to overthrow the Pirates, and who of you dare to say that we don't have the possibility of killing the Pirates?"

"I don't know whose idea of this deal was the Buccaneers, Michael or Richard? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely allow my partner to do such a ridiculous thing. ”

The reporters in the audience can't wait to give Mike Brown a round of applause right now, what a good man......

This is the rhythm of confronting Richard, and he actually did something to sow discord.

Fools know that this deal must have been Richard's idea, and now Brother Baker is not provoking anything......

Anyway, the reporter never expected that someone in this alliance would dare to provoke Richard.

This is a real man......

……

"What's that? Did he really say that? Richard looked confused, he didn't expect anyone to dare to say such arrogant words.

Plucking out his ears, Richard asked with an expression of disbelief.

He felt that this should be a reporter asking questions, deliberately causing trouble, trying to find a lively ......

But the reporters in the audience all nodded, and Richard was speechless, as if Mike Brown really said those words.

"He said the pirates were afraid of their knights? Did I hear me right? Did he really say that? Richard couldn't laugh or cry.

"That's right, that's what Coach Brown said." The reporter must be watching the excitement and not thinking it's a big deal.

"Still trying to stir up a wedge between me and Michael?" Richard asked again with a smile in his eyes.

The reporter nodded again in confirmation.

Richard let out a long sigh of relief, "Well, I appreciate Mike Brown's courage, really, I haven't encountered anything like this in a long time." ”

"Well, I'll admit I'm so scared of the Cavaliers, I'm really scared they're going to sweep us in the regular season, they're scared they're going to sweep us in the playoffs, of course, if we can run into them in the playoffs."

"The Cavaliers are the best in the league, they can win 100 percent."

"In order to suppress the Cavaliers, I deliberately sent Batum to the Pistons to consume the Cavaliers, but I didn't expect it all to be seen through by Mike Brown."

Richard sneered......

The reporters in the audience already had a feeling that they couldn't breathe, and Richard was about to go crazy.

"Quick, let's see what's next for the Pirates."

"Nonsense, of course, let's see when we meet the Cavaliers, they haven't played each other this season."

"What? There's a game next week? Home of the Buccaneers? ”

……

"Coach Richard, you have a home game against the Cavaliers next week, will you do any special arrangements then?" The reporter began to ask questions excitedly.

Finally, there is a lot of excitement, and in the past two years, because Richard is very calm, it seems that the NBA has been a bit of a backwater......

Although there are other people who make trouble, how can Richard be as strong as Richard's ability to make trouble.

In front of Richard, the things they did were not a problem, they were all weasels marrying daughters-in-law and making small fights.

"Arrangement? Why should it be arranged? ”

"In front of the strongest knights in the alliance, the only thing we pirates can do is probably give up resistance......

"Alright, guys, let's look forward to the performance of the Knight."

With that, Richard left the conference room and returned to the locker room.

Although Richard keeps saying that the knights are the strongest, the reporters are not stupid, which is obviously that Richard wants to deliberately disgust the knights.

I'm afraid that next week's home game against the Cavaliers will definitely not be so peaceful.

……

Richard didn't take the Cavaliers very seriously, in fact, in his eyes, the only thing that could affect the Pirates to win the championship was the team in the West, and the strength of the Cavaliers was okay in the East, but even if they met the Spurs or the Lakers, they would definitely be hammered.

James at the moment, if you look at the data, it is really gorgeous, and if you restrict him, the knights will basically be cold.

And in Richard's view, it is not difficult to restrain James, especially James, whose technology has not yet taken shape.

At the moment, James's basket is not good, and even his back-to-back ability is terrible, and his main offensive means is to rush inside.

Richard can completely let him break through, the inside line Milicic and Jordan Jr. are guarded, and James wants to wreak havoc on the inside line of the Pirates, how can it be so easy.

Maybe James can still play quite good statistics in the game, but in the end, it will definitely be their Cavaliers who lose.

……

"Are you crazy?"

"Huh? Tell me, are you crazy? ”

"Are you fed? To provoke Richard! ”

In Brother Bread's office, O'Neill is going crazy.

A player of his rank really doesn't take Mike Brown seriously, let alone him Mike Brown, even if it's a Lakers meritorious bishop like Pat Riley, O'Neal can quarrel with him.

He didn't really want to come to Cleveland, he originally wanted to retire with the Suns.

But there is no way, the Suns sold him to Cleveland, and he can't come if he doesn't come.

The Cavaliers also have a plan in their hearts, and in the current regular season, they will control O'Neal's playing time as much as possible, giving an average of 20 minutes of playing time per game, maintaining O'Neal's competitive state as much as possible, and striving to make O'Neal powerful in the playoffs!

O'Neal is still quite satisfied with this comfortable life, he is a lazy person himself, he has reached the current age, he has three championship rings in hand, and he has obtained them in three teams, he can no longer afford to work hard in the regular season.

But this peaceful life is messed up by Mike Brown.

O'Neill can be said to be so familiar with Richard that he can't be more familiar with it, and in the past ten years, every time Richard has done it is still fresh in O'Neill's memory.

"I don't care, next week's away game against the Buccaneers, I'm going to take a rest, I won't play." O'Neill said angrily.

He watched the video of Richard's press conference, and he already had a premonition that something would happen next week.

An old guy like himself, if there is a fight on the field at that time, what should he do?

He didn't have a hot ass in the Cavaliers, he must have no sense of belonging to the Cavaliers, and he has his former teammates in the Pirates, and he is the center of the Pirates' first championship, and he actually has a strong sense of belonging to the Pirates, second only to the Lakers.

Anyway, if there was a real fight, he would definitely not want to help the knight, but if he didn't, he couldn't say anything at all.

The most important thing is that the Pirates' three-stick stuffy gourd Milicic who can't beat a fart makes O'Neal quite stressed.

He still remembered Milicic's ruthlessness before, and his old bones were not enough to be demolished.

He has no plans to retire now, and he is still thinking about continuing to mix it up for a few more years......

Thinking of this, he became more and more annoyed.

You said that you are a raw melon and egg coach who has not grown any hair, and you are full to provoke Richard?

If they meet in the playoffs and the two sides face off normally, O'Neal will definitely have no complaints, but now it's just the regular season, and Mike Brown can't sit still to provoke Richard......

"Huh?" Mike Brown looked confused, why did O'Neal go crazy at this time.

Before he could react, O'Neill left his office in a rage.

He's made up his mind that he's definitely not going to play next week against the Buccaneers.

Not only next week's game against the Pirates, but also against the Pirates in the regular season in the future, you won't be on the court, and you knights live or die.
