Bishop of the Devil

When Richard, Ben and Xiao Ao appeared at the press conference, many reporters finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Richard came, they were afraid that Richard would rather fine him than come to the post-match press conference.

"Coach Richard, have you found your next team?"

"Coach Richard, which team will you join next?"

"Take your talents east, or stay in the west?"

Before many reporters could start, Richard sat down and immediately started asking questions...

Richard was startled. The quality of reporters this year is not good. The Trail Blazers have just established a dynasty. Shouldn't they give congratulations first?

How can anyone come up and ask such pointed questions?

Richard waved his hand and motioned for the reporters to come one by one.

"Coach Richard, which team will you join next?" The reporter who first asked the question couldn't wait to seize the opportunity to ask.

As for congratulations to the Trail Blazers for winning the championship, there is nothing to congratulate about. The Trail Blazers have won the championship for three consecutive years.

"Tonight's press conference is the official press conference after we won the championship, so let's focus on the championship and don't ask personal questions about me!"

"If the time is right, I will hold a press conference to announce my whereabouts!"

Richard said with a smile.

Now he is taking advantage of this opportunity to spread the news, and then we will see which teams are sincere.

The reporters were disappointed, but since Richard made such a request, if they continued to ask about Richard's next home, they might be kicked out of the conference room by the Blazers' public relations team.

Since you can't ask about the transfer, let's just ask about Ricky Davis. This matter can be regarded as quite topical news.

Richard has always been a very selfless head coach, whether in the fans' impression or in the players' reputation.

He always treats the players under him wholeheartedly.

Now the Ricky Davis thing suddenly popped up, which is quite topical...

The reporters also knew very well that this was definitely not nonsense spoken by Ricky Davis himself, but it was indeed true!

There was absolutely no reason for Ricky Davis to lie, and besides, he didn't play a single second in the Finals, and that's what everyone saw.

With Ricky's strength, isn't he better than the old Curry in the Trail Blazers? !

But the old Curry played for a while, but there was no playing time for Ricky...

…

"Coach Richard, I heard that you want to lower the price of Ricky Davis and then squeeze his playing time?" the reporter stood up and asked.

Faced with this problem, Ben and Xiao Ao, two people beside Richard, suddenly looked unhappy.

"Is that kid worthy of the coach lowering the price? Stop joking..."

"Who is he? He is a dispensable player on the court. In my opinion, he is worth two to three million US dollars at best!"

Xiao Ao said to the reporters disdainfully.

He originally had no ill feelings toward Ricky Davis. After all, he was the player acquired by Richard. In fact, the two Auburn players took good care of Ricky at the beginning.

Ricky was often fed the ball on the court, and sometimes he even gave up a few rebounds...

But since they found out that Richard didn't like Ricky Davis, the two of them were completely unhappy with Ricky Davis.

"This kid is really swollen and has no idea what his condition is!"

"Is it possible that he thinks he can get the maximum salary in the Trail Blazers?" Ben also said quite dissatisfied.

…

Richard waved his hand, signaling the two of them to quiet down and let him speak.

The reporters in the audience were unable to complain...

You Blazers are indeed strong, but Ricky Davis is a top attacker who can average more than 20 points per game!

As long as he is given enough playing time, it will not be a problem for him to average more than 25 points per game.

Such a powerful young player, in the eyes of you Blazers, is nothing? !

Well, maybe in the eyes of the Trail Blazers, Ricky Davis really doesn't count.

After all, the Trail Blazers' backcourt, Ginobili and Baron Davis are both better than Ricky Davis!

Although Ricky's breakthrough ability is quite strong and he is definitely the top player in the league, in terms of all-around, he is definitely far behind Ginobili and Baron Davis.

So it's normal for the Blazers players to look down on Rickey...

But from the perspective of other teams, this is not the case!

The current twenty-year-old Ricky Davis, in the eyes of some teams that lack a backcourt, is an absolute championship puzzle piece!

For example, the Bulls have Brand at center, Rasheed at power forward, and powerful shooting guard Ricky Davis. With such a lineup, they are absolutely confident of reaching the Eastern Conference finals!

Even defeating the Philadelphia 76ers and reaching the Finals is not impossible.

…

"Ahem, let me talk about this matter..."

"Ben and Jermaine are actually right. From our point of view, Ricky Davis is really nothing, a dispensable player!"

"Of course, what you said is right. I really wanted to lower the price!"

Richard didn't hide anything and said directly that he really wanted to press the machine.

"In my opinion, the current value of Ricky Davis is about three million in annual salary. Even if our Blazers have salary space, I will only give him this much salary!"

"Now that Ricky Davis disagrees, I will naturally not let him appear. After all, we have so many powerful players in the Trail Blazers. There is no need to let a player who is destined to leave the team appear on such an important occasion as the Finals!"

"I know that there are probably many teams now thinking about Ricky Davis. Just listen to my advice..."

"The value of this player is not as high as you think. It may be worth three million this season, but he won't even be worth that amount next season!"

"Don't blame me, Richard, for not warning you in advance. Whoever signs it will regret it..."

Richard smiled and said to the reporters in the audience...

The reporters were speechless. Good guy, what kind of hatred does Richard have with Ricky Davis? A top guard who averages more than 20 points per game is not even worth three million? !

When you say this, do you, Richard, believe it yourself? !

Because Richard had a criminal record before, that is, in the 1998 draft, he cheated many teams...

A few days ago, they made a fuss about Ou's injury again, which made the Lakers happy in vain.

Therefore, in the eyes of reporters, Richard's words cannot be believed even with a single punctuation mark.

…

Richard could see the disbelieving expressions of the reporters.

He didn't bother to continue explaining. Believe it or not, he would be held back. On the contrary, I had already reminded him that when the time comes, he would really suffer a loss, so don't come to him to complain.

Ricky Davis may lose an annual salary of one million yuan next season, mainly because his strength has been reduced by 60% and the chance of injury has increased by 60%.

His strength is extremely low, and he is extremely easy to get injured...

Whoever signs a player like this is really unlucky.

But looking at the expressions of the reporters, they obviously don't believe it. I'm afraid not only these reporters, but also the teams don't believe Richard's lies...

Maybe even Ben and O'Brien don't believe it. They feel that Richard is "slandering" Ricky Davis.

Although the two of them look down on Ricky Davis, they also know very well that Ricky Davis is capable, and there may be a big team that offers an annual salary of tens of millions.

Richard said that Ricky was not worth three million in annual salary. That was simply impossible.

I'm afraid any team in the league is willing to offer Ricky an annual salary of three million...

It's just an annual salary of three million, and you can squeeze it out with a little squeeze.

…

The press conference ended. Although the reporters did not find out about Richard's next home, they were still satisfied. At least there was news to write about tonight.

Richard returned to his residence. Although he was sure to leave the team, he couldn't leave Portland right away. He had to decide on his next home no matter what.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Richard received a call from an old acquaintance.

Michael Jordan.

Originally, Richard didn't want to answer the call. It was already one o'clock in the morning. He was very sleepy and ready to study.

But the old gangster kept calling one after another as if he had been given a shot of blood, leaving Richard quite helpless.

"Michael, it's already midnight, aren't you even sleeping?" Richard said angrily.

"Lee, come on Wizards!"

"Seriously, come to Wizards..."

"Let the two of us work together to create a new dynasty in the Wizards, we can definitely do it!"

"I'm ready to come back next season!"

Jordan excitedly leaked the news about his upcoming comeback...

Right now, except Jordan himself, no one really knows about this.

"Okay, I got it. Let's talk tomorrow. I'm really tired tonight!" Richard said and hung up the phone.

The old gangster was dumbfounded and hung up the phone now?

Is it because I said that I am not passionate enough...

Is the news that he is coming back not shocking enough?

Why did it feel like Richard didn't react at all? Shouldn't he be as excited as he was and promise to join the Washington Wizards and create a new dynasty with him? !

…

Richard may have known about Jordan's comeback earlier than Jordan himself, so how could he feel shocked.

On the contrary, he would be shocked if Jordan did not come back.

…

Like the New Jersey Nets, the Washington Wizards are actually an optional destination for Richard.

Although the Wizards have had a good lineup in the past two years, their record has been terrible, and they are now among the bottom four in the Eastern Conference.

Well, the word "degraded" is not quite appropriate...

The Wizards themselves are the top players in the Eastern Conference, and being in the bottom four is their normal level.

We are in the eastern part of the country, and our business situation is not very good. Although this team is located in the political center of the United States, its annual revenue can only ensure that it does not lose money.

Mainly because they have signed a lot of big contracts in the past two years...

It seems that the Washington Wizards should be considered a perfect choice.

But Richard was worried about Jordan. This old gangster liked to point fingers too much.

I'm quite paranoid about some things...

At that time, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with Richard. So whose team is this Wizards and whose orders do they obey? !

Even if Jordan retires, his popularity is still so high that he is definitely worthy of the title of the God of Basketball.

If he goes against Richard, Richard really can't do anything to him...

So now Richard has postponed this matter to tomorrow.

Let’s wait until tomorrow to talk about everything. Let’s take a good rest tonight.

In the seven years since he traveled through time, Richard has never been as relaxed as he was tonight.

There was absolutely no pressure on me. I just closed my eyes while lying on the bed and fell asleep.

…

I slept until noon the next day!

Just after he woke up, Richard remembered that he still had three lottery opportunities on hand. He took advantage of the fact that he was not busy at the moment and quickly drew them first.

It may seem like Richard is having nothing to worry about at the moment, but in fact, after leaving the team, a lot of work still needs to be handed over.

Richard is ready to give advice to the Trail Blazers regarding the trade issues of some players.

After all, this is the place where he has struggled for five years. Before leaving, Richard thought that the Trail Blazers could get on the right track.

Nowitzki and Lewis are both in contract years, and Richard will definitely have to give the Blazers some advice.

In addition, I will definitely have to be busy with my own affairs for a while...

…

After three lottery opportunities, Richard started the first one.

"Starting the first lottery, the system will randomly draw three items for the host. The host can choose one of them. Please wait a moment!"

Two minutes later, information about three props appeared in Richard's mind.

"Universal attribute pill!"

"Yi Hua Jie Mu Wan!"

"Universal attribute pill!"

Richard was stunned for a moment. Is this definitely a lottery? !

What the hell are these optional rewards? They are so deceptive...

Especially the universal attribute pill actually appeared twice!

Yihuajiemuwan may be a fixed option, and this ghost thing will appear in every lottery...

These three options basically left Richard with no choice.

Although the universal attribute pill is not too powerful, it is at least better than the Yihuajiemu Pill!

"Starting the second lottery, the system will randomly draw three items for the host. The host can choose one of them. Please wait a moment!"

"Yi Hua Jie Mu Wan!"

"Jabbar's skyhook!"

"As good as the original pill!"

Seeing this wave of alternatives, Richard almost jumped up with excitement.

Because of this wave of alternative plans, except for the scammer Yihuajiemuwan, which is bound to appear, the remaining two sound quite awesome!

Richard is very familiar with the properties of the Intact Chu Dan. He has one in his hand and he is not willing to use it yet!

This is a super prop that can bring a player's career back to life!

As for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Skyhook, Richard already knew what type of prop it was without looking at its attributes...

It must be permanent props like Mad Dog's Lingering and Horse Monkey's Good Luck!

And this is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, not a player like Beverley or Parsons!

Dad Jia is at the level of a super celebrity!

The ranking of the super giants in history, one is Joe, two is Jabba, and three is Jabba. This is enough to illustrate Jabbar’s super status!

And this prop seems to be related to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s signature skills!

Sky hook!

This is a super scoring method that countless inside players dream of, an unsolvable scoring method!

Countless insiders have received training from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

But it is no exaggeration to say that there is no player who can truly inherit the sky hook...

This is almost a lost skill!

Without saying anything, Richard looked at the attributes of the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Sky Hook...

But after taking a look, he suddenly looked strange.

"Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Skyhook: Under the training of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you can learn and master the essence of the Skyhook technique faster, and can reach up to 90% of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Skyhook level!"

"One target player can be bound each season, and the height of the target player is required to be no less than 218 centimeters!"

"Before this prop is bound, the target player needs to score 20+10 in 30 consecutive games!"

Richard gasped!

Good guy, this prop is a bit powerful!

It can actually make a player gain 90% of the sky hook strength. This is simply unbelievable!

Such a prop is absolutely priceless!

Of course, there are quite a lot of restrictions. After all, for such a powerful thing, if there are no restrictions at all, then there is really no room to make sense.

…

First of all, they have to receive personal training from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Only through training with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can the target players learn the essence of Sky Hook.

It's not like Mad Dog Lingling who improves his strength out of thin air.

The second condition is the height limit...

This Richard can figure out that in the Sky Hook skill, the taller the better.

Why is it called Tiangou? Why not an ordinary hook?

That's because the shooting point of the sky hook is quite high. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is 218 centimeters tall, jumps sideways and shoots the hook shot. Who can prevent it? !

The only person who can guard against Skyhook is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar himself!

As long as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar feels good enough, no one can guard Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

In a sense, the Sky Hook is actually a more unsolvable offensive method than the Golden Rooster!

After all, Golden Rooster Independence still has the possibility of being restricted when facing those inside players who are like spring men.

For example, the little bully Stoudemire is a threat to Nowitzki's offense.

But Skyhook? Two Stoudemires are useless...

218 centimeters is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s height. Now this prop limits the height of target players to at least 218 centimeters, which is completely reasonable!

As for the last restriction, the target player needs to have 20+10 data in 30 games before binding...

This is very difficult.

Note, what we are talking about here is not the average of 20+10 per game, but the data of more than 20+10 in every game.

This is quite difficult...

However, even if it is difficult, at least there is still hope of completing it. Once completed, it will be impossible to get 90% of the offensive power of Sky Gou!

…

The first time Richard thought of Yao Ming...

He even thought of Porzingis, a player of later generations!

This prop must be taken down. It is so powerful. In terms of value, it is far higher than the intact elixir!
