Bishop of the Devil

After Richard saw the reports from various media, he was dumbfounded...

Start a new one? ! Not to mention that I only have 100 million US dollars at the moment, even with a net worth like Paul Allen, it is completely impossible to start a new business...

Well, there is still a glimmer of hope if Paul Allen is really willing to take the plunge.

…

But Richard really has no idea of ​​​​starting a new business, and it is impossible for him to...

Although the fans know that this is ridiculous, in order to discredit the NBA, they don't care so much. Anyway, they will discredit the NBA anyway.

…

He was fined 150,000 US dollars this time. Richard was both surprised and expected...

He knew that the league had such rules, so he took up the position of honorary head coach at Purdue University, thinking that the NBA would not be able to punish him because of his position as honorary head coach.

After entering the league, Richard had several records of public contact with Purdue players, but the league never took any action, which made Richard feel relieved...

So this training camp is quite large...

But the alliance, which originally turned a blind eye, suddenly issued a heavy fine to Richard, which was somewhat beyond Richard's expectation.

Just as reporters are wondering, at this point in time, the league should be busy negotiating with the players union. How can it care about such a trivial matter as Richard...

When it comes to labor negotiations, a major matter related to the survival of the NBA, the training camp held by Richard is actually nothing.

Moreover, there was no penalty before, and now it is suddenly punished, and the punishment is so severe, which is really unjustifiable.

…

Before Richard, there had been cases where coaches or team executives had contacted NCAA players who were not eligible for the draft in advance, but the league always turned a blind eye. Even if they were punished, they would be fined thousands of dollars. Meaning. , to warn all parties not to go too far...

Never before had Richard been fined $150,000 so suddenly.

Richard, who is familiar with NBA history, clearly remembers that in the next two years, many coaches or executives were punished for this matter...

For example, in 2002, Cavaliers coach Lucas was fined $150,000 and suspended for two games for allowing James to participate in Cavaliers team training in advance without being draft eligible.

New Jersey Nets minor owner JAY-Z secretly contacted the Kentucky school team and took a photo together in their school team locker room. As a result, he was fined $50,000.

The most unfair accusation was made by the Nuggets head coach in 2005, George Karl. His son attended a basketball training class at Mack University. He just went over to check on his son. As a result, he had a few words with Mack University guard De Xiaopang. He was directly fined 200,000 US dollars...

He didn't even know what Fatty De was called.

This was definitely an unforeseen disaster. Later, the Nuggets paid a fine of $200,000 for Karl...

What Richard is doing now, if he does not have the title of honorary head coach, is probably much more serious than these people, and will definitely be punished by more than 150,000 US dollars.

…

According to Richard's guess, he may have been hit by a gun. Stern was not targeting him specifically, but the alliance did have plans to impose heavy penalties.

Just when Richard stepped forward, Stern didn't like Richard either, so he was directly targeted!

If it were any other head coach, I guess Stern would have taken it step by step, and a fine of US$50,000 would have been enough...

…

Richard felt quite helpless. His luck was really bad, and he accidentally bumped into Stern's gun.

The key point is that this matter cannot be justified. The league has such rules. Richard indeed violated such rules. Stern's punishment was justified...

Richard felt aggrieved. For him, 150,000 US dollars was really not much, just a sprinkling of water, but he was definitely not willing to accept it.

I am very reluctant, but the money must be handed over.

Thinking about Richard's temper, it would be strange if he didn't fight back against Stern...

The day after the news came out, Olshey called and said that the team would help Richard pay the $150,000 fine, so he didn't have to worry.

In the end, Richard rejected the offer of 150,000 US dollars. He really didn't take it seriously and couldn't let the team take the blame.

…

On the third day, the golden dragon appeared at the New York headquarters.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen strong men, carrying large iron boxes in pairs. Judging from the way they struggled, it was obvious that the box was heavy.

Fifty large iron boxes, each weighing at least 150 kilograms...

The strong men moved ten times before finally moving all the boxes on the truck to the gate of the NBA headquarters.

The staff in the headquarters looked at the scene in front of them in stunned silence. When they saw the golden dragon wearing a suit and leather shoes, he should be the leader, they couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

"What are you doing?!"

Golden Dragon straightened his tie, with a smile on his face, and said to the staff member: "Pay the fine!"

The staff was startled and asked to pay the fine? !

It's the offseason recently. Apart from Richard's share, there are no other fines...

Is it Richard's fine? !

But why the hell is there so much, 150,000 US dollars packed in fifty big boxes? !

"Is it Coach Richard's fine?!" the staff member asked with a frown.

The golden dragon smiled and nodded.

"That's right, Coach Richard's fine is a total of 150,000 US dollars and 1.5 million ten-cent coins. You can count it yourself!"

The staff member instantly had the urge to faint!

One and a half million coins? ! Are you kidding me? Why don't you get fifteen million one-cent coins? !

Don't tell me, when Richard handed this matter over to Golden Dragon, that's what he really thought.

It's a pity that banks can't get so many one-cent coins. Even the current 1.5 million ten-cent coins were exchanged by him after he went to three banks...

Golden Dragon is so great now. Before Richard's $100 million was not invested in the stock market, Golden Dragon was responsible for depositing it into these three banks.

The bank will definitely respond to the request of such a big boss. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't get fifteen million one-cent coins, I'm afraid they would really agree to the Golden Dragon's exchange request...

"Wait a minute, I'm going to find someone..." The staff felt like they were in trouble.

He will naturally go to Xiao Hua or Stern now. This matter must be decided by them.

If Xiao Hua or Stern said they would accept it, then he felt that his nightmare was about to come. When would the 1.5 million coins have to be counted...

We can't let the bosses count the coins. In the end, it's not the minions like them who count the coins.
