Bishop of the Devil

When Richard returned to his residence, it was already one o'clock in the evening!

However, he was not sleepy at all, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

"Barbara, this is Li..." Richard first called TSN's content director. The two were quite familiar with each other because of the novel manuscript.

"Li, Paul just asked someone to notify us."

"Don't worry, we know what to do..."

"In about half an hour, there will be several reports from your press conference and there will be a poll."

Richard nodded. It seemed that Paul Allen and he had thought of going together...

Now that TSN is ready, Richard doesn't have to worry about it.

…

After hanging up the phone with Barbara, Richard called Bill Robert again.

It is none other than the former sports editor of the Indiana Herald. In the past year, because the sports section has become quite popular, he has been promoted to the editor-in-chief of the Herald.

"Robert, man, I'm afraid I need your help this time..." Richard said with a wry smile.

It was already early in the morning, but Robert answered the phone immediately and sounded quite energetic. It was obvious that he had not slept at this time.

"Li, my man, we were in a meeting just now to discuss how to report on the game that just ended."

"Man, from your press conference speech, I can probably guess your purpose!"

"Don't worry, Lee, go get some sleep, Indiana has your back!"

Robert comforted him by saying that he had a very good relationship with Richard, and part of the reason why he was promoted so quickly was because of Richard.

Now Richard is obviously going to go through a difficult time, and Robert knows exactly what he should do at this point in time.

"Thank you, my brother, I owe you a favor!"

"By the way, TSN will have a poll soon, you can mention this..."

…

After hanging up the phone, Richard felt a little lucky that he had made friends like Robert!

The Herald is the largest circulation newspaper in Indiana, and the basketball atmosphere in this state is quite good. The number of fans is almost the largest in the United States.

Richard came out of Indiana, and the Purdue dynasty he created is the pride of Indiana fans!

With the Herald initiating public opinion and the fans' respect for Richard, it is no exaggeration to say that Indiana will always stand behind Richard!

…

In addition to Indiana, it goes without saying that Oregon is where Richard is now!

The changes Richard has brought to the Trail Blazers are obvious. With such a head coach, Oregon fans will never allow anything to happen to Richard.

…

Just after hanging up the phone with Robert, old Phillip called again.

"Li, I know you must be very busy now, so I'll keep the story short."

"Purdue University will hold a press conference tomorrow and all players will be present!"

"In addition, I have contacted more than ten top NCAA schools, and they will also support me!"

Old Philip said in a quick voice.

Richard felt warm in his heart and said gratefully: "Phillip, thank you, thank you also to those boys!"

"Okay, Li, keep busy with your business..."

"It's time to show the world your muscles!"

…

Nets head coach Kari Perry also has a pretty good relationship with Richard.

"Lee, I will be interviewed by a New Jersey newspaper tomorrow..."

"There's only so much I can do, and I hope I can do my best."

76ers head coach Carlisle, Iverson, and Da Zhi called Richard together. The 76ers will support Richard at the pre-game press conference tomorrow.

Kings head coach Eddie Jordan also called. They accepted Richard's favor for this draft.

Adelman, who did not leave the Warriors like normal history, is still the official head coach of the Warriors at this moment, so he called.

The Hornets coach Dave Cowens, who could only be regarded as an acquaintance, called Richard unexpectedly.

Larry Bird…

Grizzlies Raheem, Celtics Billups, Warriors Miller, these West Lafayette players who are flourishing in various teams, all stayed awake and called Richard.

Richard even received a call from Rockets coach Tang Shuai early in the morning!

Tang Shuai first expressed his gratitude to Richard for last season, and then expressed his willingness to support Richard.

…

Until 7 o'clock in the morning, Richard still couldn't sleep, and the phone calls came one after another.

Every phone call strengthened Richard's confidence.

As Philip Sr. said, it's time for Richard to flex his muscles.

…

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the first bomb hit!

TSN, the most well-known professional sports website at present, published Richard's post-match press conference speech on the headline of the website, and invited various columnists to comment on Richard's speech.

There is no doubt that these well-known reporters rely on TSN to make a living. Could they say something bad about Richard?

impossible……

In the comments of this group of reporters, Richard was nicknamed "the law enforcer".

If the alliance does not punish these extremely vicious criminals, then it is up to Richard, the law enforcer, to punish them. What is wrong with that!

As Richard himself said, "I, Richard, am right!"

In addition, TSN also conducted a public opinion poll.

The first of the three options is that Richard is right, the second is that Richard is wrong, but there are extenuating circumstances, and the third is to severely punish Richard.

…

At six o'clock in the morning, the second bomb struck.

The newspapers that the Herald rushed out overnight are on sale...

Early in the morning, cursing began throughout Indiana.

Although the league has not yet issued detailed punishment rules, fans know very well that the league will not take this matter lightly.

They want to support Richard before the league issues penalties!

Countless fans logged into TSN and started voting for Richard...

Not only Indiana fans, but Oregon fans also logged into TSN after learning the news.

"Refund?! Impossible!"

"Trail Blazers fans, it is impossible to refund tickets. We will not refund a single ticket. We want to show the league that Trail Blazers fans support Richard!"

"I will never refund a ticket. Even if I refund a ticket, it means that our Blazers do not support Richard wholeheartedly!"

"Go and vote for Richard. We want the alliance to see Richard's influence!"

"It is a business alliance after all. I still don't believe that they can go against the fans!"

"I swear, if Richard or the Trail Blazers players are severely fined, I will never step into an NBA arena again in my life!"

Countless fans have left overwhelming messages on TSN!
