Bishop of the Devil

On July 23, Richard showed up at Purdue University with a group of players...

In the past two years, it has become a routine for the Blazers to come to Purdue University for training.

However, the Trail Blazers didn't have much of a reputation before, and they were joined by a bunch of new players, so not many people paid attention to this matter.

But now the Trail Blazers are no longer what they used to be.

Look at the lineup of the Trail Blazers this time. All-Star starter Ou, All-Star Kobe, and the defensive second-team leader. These are all well-known presences in the league and can be ranked high...

In this case, the entire city of West Lafayette was almost empty, and they all rushed to the Purdue campus to see the star in person.

Back in West Lafayette, Richard was in an extremely good mood and extremely relaxed.

Many fans looked familiar to him and smiled and nodded. When the fans saw Richard, they naturally cheered wildly.

Richard is the pride of West Lafayette!

Although Purdue University was also a famous basketball school before, it is completely incomparable now. You must know that Purdue University has now won three consecutive championships. It is the real Purdue dynasty!

In the NCAA league, which team now dares to say that it is Purdue's opponent? Absolutely not!

If you meet Purdue University in the game, if you don't lose miserably, you will win!

The entire NCAA league is recognized by thousands of teams as the king's team, the king's team that no one can compete with.

…

Although there were only three players in Richard's latest list for Purdue University, Brownie Jr. still completed the job satisfactorily. He recruited two of them.

They are Mike Miller and Prince.

Richard naturally felt it was a pity that Jefferson was not recruited, but it didn't matter. This could not shake Purdue University's status as the king.

…

Except for Robinson and Curry, the remaining 13 players on the 15-man roster of the Trail Blazers were all dragged to West Lafayette by Richard.

Currently, four members of the Purdue University team have left, and two more have arrived. There is still an eight-star lineup left. In addition, old Philip has recruited two "connected people", which is exactly ten people...

Not only that, because we are currently in the labor negotiation period, the training grounds and training facilities of each team are not open to players, so those players who left West Lafayette also took this opportunity to come to Purdue University.

They are all players who have gone out of West Lafayette. They have strict requirements for themselves and cannot waste the offseason in vain.

Iverson, Da Zhi, Billups, Raheem, Brad Miller and other players who have been playing in the league for a while...

Pierce, Bibby and other Purdue juniors who were just selected in this year's draft.

…

There are more than thirty players, all gathered in the small city of West Lafayette!

Considering the level of sensation, it’s not surprising that the streets in a small city like West Lafayette are deserted...

Richard also didn't expect that he would attract so many "wild bees and butterflies" when he was training for the Trail Blazers. The lineup of more than 30 players was simply too scary!

Richard can guarantee that in some future All-Star games, such a luxurious lineup may not be possible...

…

Thirteen people came from the Blazers, ten from Purdue University, and nine from West Lafayette's team, for a total of thirty-two players.

Excluding two of Philip's "relationships" among them, there are exactly thirty players.

As for the so-called connections, with Purdue University's current terrible record, it is inevitable that there will be people with great powers who want to gild their children. Although they will definitely not be able to enter the NBA, winning several NCAA championships is still a big deal. the glory of...

There was nothing Old Philip could do about such a well-connected household.

Richard didn't care much about this matter. Anyway, these two related parties wouldn't affect the Boilermakers' championship. Just keep them and don't give them any playing time...

…

Think about it, these thirty players are all players hand-picked by Richard, and there is not even a single unknown among them!

There is not a single unknown person, even if some of them have not been selected as an All-Star in their career, they have received decent honors!

For example, Best Defensive Team, Best Sixth Man, Best Rookie, etc...

Of course, Richard's unexpected harvest of Braggs does not fall into this category. Richard doesn't know how this player performs in the NBA under normal circumstances, but he expects that he will be unable to survive in one or two years... …

When a reporter from the Indiana Herald published the list of players participating in the training camp in their morning paper the next day, the entire league was shocked!

Some teams didn't expect that their new players would go to West Lafayette for training!

Thinking about it, he didn't have any reason to stop it. After all, the team's training facilities are not available for use, so he has to let them train, right?

I can only turn a blind eye and pretend I don't know about it.

…

When later generations of fans dug out this morning newspaper, they were shocked from ear to ear...

Is this just a training camp held by Richard himself? ! Are you sure it's not a training camp for the U.S. national team? !

It seems that the US national team training camp does not have such a luxurious lineup...

…

"Hello, coach!" Big Ben shouted.

"Hello, coach!" The remaining players shouted in unison along with Big Ben.

Richard stood in front of these thirty players, with great ambition in his heart!

This is why I have been working hard to build the West Lafayette team!

The thirty players in front of me now will be the backbone of the league and the face of the league in the future!

"Guys, I, Richard, am very proud!"

"It is my honor, Richard, to have a group of powerful disciples like you!"

"In the future, I'm afraid God only knows how long it will last. You will be training at this training ground!"

"I hope you can achieve something after these few months of training!"

"Okay, let's draw our numbers one by one. The 30 people are divided into 3 teams. Each team will play one game against the other teams every day!"

The reporters and fans who were watching were stunned. What a huge battle!

These thirty people are all NBA-level players. Doesn’t it mean that there will be three NBA-level games every day in this training ground in the future? !

This simply makes fans crazy. They can actually see three NBA-level games every day, and they watch them live!

…

Daben took the lead and began to draw number plates.

There are three types of number plates, with the numbers 1/2/3 on them respectively. If you draw number 1, you will naturally belong to the same team!

Soon, the number cards were drawn, and after excluding the two related players, the remaining 30 players were divided into three teams, each with ten players!

"Coach, can you change the team? I want to be on the same team as Billups..." Pierce said with a grimace.

They both play for Green Kai now, so naturally they want to be on the same team and get along well. After all, they haven't played together for a year.

Richard nodded, this request was reasonable.

"Okay! You can change teams. You can discuss it, but the Blazers and Boilermakers have to be separated. They can't all join the same team!" Richard said with a smile.

Billups and Pierce, these two played for Green Kai together.

Raheem and Bibby played together for the Grizzlies.

Iverson and Da Zhi, these two played for the 76ers together.

Jamison and Brad Miller, the two played together for the Golden State Warriors.

It is naturally better for these four groups to be on the same team...
