Bishop of the Devil

In addition to the celebrity points, I also got three lucky draw opportunities this time!

This lottery opportunity is also quite precious. Last time, I drew a very powerful prop like Mad Dog Linger!

Now with three lottery opportunities in hand, Richard feels that he will definitely draw something amazing.

The six-point coach has all attributes. To be precise, it cannot be called all attributes. It should be called all attributes minus the luck value...

This time, only three points of luck value were added, but the other attributes were actually added to six points!

In addition, I also got a valuable universal attribute pill!

In terms of attributes, this thing is really quite versatile. The only limitation is that it can only be used on individual attributes below 90, which is considered a pretty good thing!

…

The harvest was quite fruitful, but Richard didn't have the intention to draw the lottery at the moment. The championship award ceremony was still going on.

Stern has already left the game, and maybe he also knows that it is Richard's time next.

According to tradition, at this moment, it is time for Richard to award the West Lafayette gold medal!

This is the first time Richard has presented the West Lafayette gold medal at home.

Baron Davis had already won the gold medal when he participated in the draft, but Michael Reed did not have the gold medal.

Richard is about to leave the Trail Blazers, and he doesn't care that Reid is only in his rookie season.

It went straight to Reed for the only West Lafayette gold medal of the night.

"Young man, work hard, you may become the leader of a certain team in this league in the future!"

"Work hard, the hardships you endure now are all laying the foundation for your future glory!"

Richard patted Reed on the shoulder and encouraged him...

In fact, Richard likes Reed quite a lot. This simple and honest backcourt player can really be said to be an inspirational model, more inspiring than General Arenas.

Reed was a second-round pick, the same as Arenas...

However, Arenas was too arrogant and ruined his career by himself, while Reed was still conscientious even after becoming the King of Deer.

This is a player who works hard enough...

…

Fans at the scene cheered when they saw Richard hand-holding the West Lafayette gold medal for Reed.

They knew that it was time for Richard's speech next, which is the custom after winning the championship every season!

In the past, after winning the championship every season, Richard would stand on the podium and scold Fang Qiu, saying boldly that the championship for next season has already been booked by the Blazers!

But it is a pity that these words were all said in the away game, which made the home fans quite helpless. They could only see Richard's style on TV!

And now that we have finally won the championship at home, the fans are looking forward to Richard's speech tonight!

"I, Richard, will bring four, five, six, seven championships to the Trail Blazers!"

"I, Richard, want to bring all my talents to Portland!"

"Portland will always be a super team!"

Everyone is looking forward to Richard saying something similar. There is no doubt that as long as Richard says something like this, the fans at the scene will definitely faint with happiness.

They admire Richard extremely and love Richard very much!

In their view, Richard is the hero of this city and the savior of Portland!

The greatest coach in the history of the Trail Blazers, no, it can be said to be the greatest person in the history of the Trail Blazers!

Every word Richard said was truth to them!

Even if Richard said that he would lead the Trail Blazers to win the league's championship in the next ten or twenty years, these fans would believe it.

Richard can definitely do it!

…

Everyone was eagerly looking forward to Richard's speech. Only Paul Allen, team executives and the Blazers generals had sad expressions.

Although Richard never told Ben that he was leaving the team...

But they are not fools, they have already learned the news from Iverson.

All this time, they had tried their best not to think about it, praying in their hearts that Richard would change his mind after building a dynasty.

But looking at Richard's troubled face, they knew that Richard had not changed his mind and still wanted to leave the team.

…

In an instant, a lot of the joy of building a dynasty was washed away.

…

Richard is actually feeling very uncomfortable now. He doesn't know whether it is a wise choice for him to announce the news at this time.

But he knows that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It is more important to let the fans know the news earlier and let them accept the reality earlier.

"Dear boss Paul Allen, thank you for inviting me to join the Portland Trail Blazers. This may be the wisest choice in my life!"

"Just like a dream, we really did it. We won the honor of three consecutive championships and created a dynasty!"

When Richard said this, he couldn't help but choke up when he thought of the days and nights of the past five years.

"Thank you to my players. It is their unremitting efforts that have allowed us to achieve such great achievements!"

"Thank you dear fans, it is your continued support that keeps us working hard and full of fighting spirit on the court!"

"I love Portland, I love the Trail Blazers, this will be the most unforgettable memory in my life!"

Richard's eyes turned red and he choked while holding the microphone.

Many fans were also moved by Richard. At this moment, their eyes were red, looking at Richard in the middle of the stadium.

Richard took a deep breath...

"In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and now it's time to say goodbye."

Upon hearing this, tens of thousands of fans in the stadium and countless Portland fans watching the live broadcast were stunned.

Is it time to say leave? Richard is leaving the Trail Blazers? !

impossible!

Why do you want to leave the Trail Blazers!

After a brief period of confusion, the fans suddenly became irrational and roared at the Blazers management on the sidelines.

In their view, the only possible reason for Richard to leave the Trail Blazers is that there is something wrong with the Trail Blazers management.

Richard quickly waved his hand to signal the fans to quiet down.

"There is an old saying in China that all the banquets come to an end. My departure has nothing to do with the Blazers management."

"If everyone is dissatisfied with my departure, you can vent your anger on me."

Ben and others on the sidelines had red eyes, this day has come.

How could they be willing to let Richard leave, especially Da Ben, who has been with Richard for seven full years, and Richard is like a brother and a father to him!

Now that Richard is leaving, he is the one who feels the most uncomfortable...

Paul Allen walked onto the stage at this time and took the microphone in Richard's hand.

"Dear fans, everyone has their own ideals. Now that Richard has chosen to leave the team for his own ideals, we should bless him!"

"He has done enough for our Blazers. In five years, he has allowed us to reach the finals four times and win three championships, allowing us Blazers to create a dynasty!"

"This is an achievement that other head coaches may not be able to accomplish in a lifetime. We can't ask Richard to do more!"

"I'm afraid no one wants Richard to leave more than me. When I met Richard for the first time, I knew he was no ordinary person!"

"He will definitely lead our Blazers to the top!"

"Now, he did it!"

"Besides, Richard left us with a pretty terrifying lineup. Next season we will still be the top seeded team in the league to compete for the championship!"

"Let us bless Richard and wish him a smooth road ahead!"

"I wish him continued success in his new team!"

Paul Allen held the microphone in an emotional voice and spoke to tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

He definitely didn't want Richard to leave, but Richard kept his promise, and Paul Allen could no longer retain Richard.

…

The fans at the scene looked sad. Paul Allen was right. Richard had already given enough to the Trail Blazers. They could not ask Richard to give more!

Although these fans don't know what Richard's ideal is, since Paul Allen said that Richard is pursuing his own ideal, even if they don't want Richard to leave, they can only accept this reality sadly at this moment.

Some young fans in the stadium were already crying. The hero in their hearts was about to leave...

Richard watched the entire atmosphere become sad, and regretted announcing the decision on such an occasion.

Paul Allen smiled and said: "Guys, cheer up, tonight is the night for our third consecutive championship!"

"We should be happy!"

"Moreover, we have also prepared a special ceremony tonight, a ceremony to commend Richard for his contribution to our pioneers in the past five years!"

The faces of the fans at the scene relaxed a lot. When they heard about the ceremony, they suddenly became interested.

…

With a wave of Paul Allen's hand, a giant balloon originally hanging above the stadium exploded.

Inside the balloon was a strange jersey!

There is no number, just a name.

Chard-Lee!

The whole audience was shocked, especially the reporters, who were about to go crazy...

What the hell is this? !

Even a fool can see that the Trail Blazers are going to retire Richard's jersey!

this……

The reporters were completely unable to describe the feeling of despair in their hearts.

Richard hasn't retired yet, but you Blazers are going to retire Richard's jersey. Are you being too doting on Richard?

Richard was also dumbfounded. He also saw that the Blazers were going to retire their jersey!

No one told Richard about this beforehand!

"Paul, what's going on..." Richard looked at Paul Allen in confusion.

Paul Allen waved his hand, "Dear fans, although Richard has not retired yet, I think our Blazers can only truly reflect our respect for Richard by retiring Richard's jersey on this occasion tonight." grateful!"

"Li, thank you for your dedication to the Trail Blazers over the past five years!"

"This is the honor you deserve!"

"Of course, retiring your jersey doesn't mean you can't return to the Trail Blazers in the future. The Trail Blazers' door is always open for you!" Paul Allen laughed and patted Richard on the shoulder.

The fans at the scene were originally quite shocked, but now they feel that this matter is not that shocking.

Richard deserves such an honor!

Deserves such an honor more than anyone else...

This jersey hanging over the Rose Garden Arena is enough for these fans to remember the good times in the past few years!

"Richard!"

“Portland’s door is always open for you!”

"Portland Enforcers!"

"Portland will always be your home!"

After the fans accepted this reality, they began to cheer for Richard.

…

The reporters felt that tonight’s news would be enough for them to write about for several days!

The Trail Blazers were so generous that they retired Richard's jersey without saying anything!

You know, in the entire history of the Portland Trail Blazers, no head coach's jersey has ever been retired!

Even the head coach who won the championship did not get the honor of having his jersey retired!

And now Richard has the honor of having his jersey retired, and he got such honor even before Richard retired!

…

Of course, everyone knows that Richard definitely deserves such an honor.

Entering the finals four times in five years and winning three championships. What a terrifying feat it is. Retiring the jersey early is not an exaggeration at all!

Richard breathed a sigh of relief. The fans accepted this reality, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at Da Ben and others, Da Ben was looking at Richard intently, as if he had a lot to say to Richard.

…

Richard took the microphone from Paul Allen.

"thanks, thanks!"

“Thank you so much, everyone in Portland!”

"Although I have left, I will always be with the Trail Blazers!"

"Even if I leave, the Portland Trail Blazers will still be the toughest team in the league!"

"We have only one word for any team that dares to offend the Trail Blazers!"

"Fuck you!"

Richard roared...

Tens of thousands of fans throughout the Rose Garden Arena jumped to their feet and cheered.

"Fuck you!"

"Fuck you!"

…

After the championship award ceremony ended, and after witnessing Richard leading the Blazers back to the locker room, the fans left the scene with unfulfilled satisfaction.

Although Richard has left now, the dynasty has been created, so what else can they be dissatisfied with...

What they want to do most right now is to find a place to have a good drink with other fans to celebrate the birth of the Trail Blazers dynasty!

Moreover, after Richard left, the Trail Blazers didn't change much. This coming season, the Trail Blazers are still the number one seed to win the league!

There is a great possibility to create a four consecutive championship dynasty!

Anyway, the routine for playing against the Spurs and Lakers has been thoroughly developed by Richard. As long as this lineup remains unchanged, any head coach can play at will!

I'm just afraid that the lineups of these two teams will change next season!

But right now, these fans don't care about so much, they should just enjoy the joy of victory first!

…

Inside the Trail Blazers locker room.

"Ben, Jermaine, guys, I'm sorry!" After returning to the locker room, seeing everyone lowering their heads, Richard sighed and said.

Ben raised his head and looked at Richard.

"Coach, actually we all thought that this day would happen."

"You don't have to say sorry to us, coach. I wish you can continue to create brilliance!"

"Thank you for taking care of me during these seven years!"

Daben hugged Richard and cried like a child.

For a full seven years, they have been together day and night, and the relationship between these two people is very deep, like a family.

"Okay, Ben, I'm not going to hell, don't be so sad!"

"There will be many opportunities to meet each other every year..."

Richard patted Ben on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Well, when we meet the coach's team next time, we will definitely beat them!"

"Brothers, do you have confidence!" Daben shouted.

"Yes! Blow it up! Blow it up!" All the generals burst into laughter.

…

Richard smiled, these beasts are now starting to click to blow themselves up...

"Okay, Ben, Jermaine, you two are going to attend a press conference with me for a while!" Richard said with a smile.

Although the news of leaving the team has been announced, at least Richard will still be the head coach of the Trail Blazers tonight.

If you don't attend the official press conference, especially the finals press conference, there is no doubt that the league will issue a penalty bill to Richard early the next morning!

…

The entire conference room was packed, and the reporters breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Richard coming.

Originally, they were afraid that Richard would not come to this press conference, as he would be leaving the team after all...

As for the fine, in the opinion of the reporters, does Richard care about that fine?

As long as Richard is here, there will be headlines in the next few days!

What these reporters want to know most now is whether Richard has found a new home.

Which team is this lucky team?
