Bishop of the Devil

Nowadays, the Internet is quite developed, but Facebook has not yet been launched. This was in February 2004, which is still half a year away.

When Facebook goes online, Richard will inevitably invest in it and continue to accumulate wealth.

Richard directly called TSN and asked them to conduct an exclusive interview with him. Anyway, this TSN is owned by Paul Allen's family...

…

When the TSN reporters arrived, Richard quickly asked them to sit down and began the interview.

The reporters were also confused. How could such a good person conduct an exclusive interview for himself?

Are you crazy about wanting to be famous...

When it comes to other people, this is really a possibility, but when it comes to Richard, this thing is not true, because Richard saw Tian'er making headlines, and there are probably not many people in the entire sports circle who can find it. More famous than him.

…

"Ahem, Mr. Richard, what should we interview..." The reporter also had no idea what to say.

Interview about winning the championship? I have interviewed him many times before. Now that the enthusiasm for winning the championship has passed, all the major media have written badly about it, so there is really nothing to interview.

"Let's talk about our parents today..." Richard waved his hand and gave the reporters an interview topic.

The reporters were stunned for a moment, talking about their parents. Didn't they say that you, Richard, were an orphan...

What's so interesting about this interview? Is it possible that you, Richard, are thinking about finding a relative now? !

"Okay, Mr. Richard, can you tell us about your parents?" the reporter said with a smile.

"How did I know that? It's not like you don't know that I grew up in an orphanage..."

The reporter vomited blood, Richard, are you trying to entertain people...

"But one thing, I am sure of it, my parents are Chinese, my grandparents are also Chinese, my maternal grandparents are also Chinese, and my ancestors are all Chinese for eighteen generations, and I can speak fluently. Chinese." Richard said to the reporter with certainty.

…

The reporters were completely confused by Richard. They definitely didn't understand the affairs of the domestic media in South Korea. They had no idea what Richard wanted to say at this moment...

"Anyway, you can just write as you please. Write something sensational. The most important thing is that you must write about the fact that my ancestors were Chinese for eighteen generations. In particular, it must be noted that I am a little bit more like Korea." It doesn’t matter, I’ll put the original words in this paragraph and make it bold and black when the time comes!” Richard said with a smile.

The reporters are even more upset, writing casually? Isn't this fucking fake news...

"What? Can't you handle this? Or should I call Paul Allen and ask him to write it for me?" Richard frowned...

"Write, write, write, it needs to be sensational..." The reporters were on the verge of tears.

…

The TSN news came out the next day, but no one here in the United States paid much attention. It was just Richard's die-hard fans who were moved to a complete mess. How dare Richard live such a miserable childhood.

The Americans didn't pay much attention to it, but South Korea immediately caused an uproar.

They felt their faces were swollen and had been beaten by Richard.

In the past two days, I had been talking about Richard being Korean, but when their domestic fan base started celebrating, Richard immediately jumped out and gave an exclusive interview...

He is said to be Chinese, and his ancestors have been Chinese for eighteen generations.

What made their faces even more burning was that Richard seemed to know about their domestic affairs in South Korea, and he specifically marked it in black and bold in the interview, "I have nothing to do with South Korea!"

This reporter was too honest. He did exactly what Richard said. He actually copied the sentence exactly as it was and made it bold and black.

…

"Richard is targeting our Smecta..."

"Hmph, when Hesheng Town enters the alliance, it will definitely break the myth of Richard's rule."

"It depends on He Shengzhen, he is our hope!"

"The Asian Championships are in two months. Come on, He Shengzhen, and we will kill the Chinese men's basketball team led by Richard then!"

Fans in South Korea now feel their faces are getting hot, and they are getting angry with embarrassment...

Originally, they had endless love for Richard and Smecta, and it felt like it gave them South Korea some face.

As a result, Richard jumped out and slapped him in the face. The deeper their love, the deeper their hatred. At this moment, they almost wanted to kill Richard.

It's like a guy chasing a girl and showing his heart to her. The two of them are about to get along with each other, but the girl goes to the newspaper and declares that she has nothing to do with that guy, and The restored words are bolded and blackened...

I'm afraid this guy slapped his thigh in anger.

The current situation of Korean fans is almost like this guy, and Richard is like that girl...

…

Richard definitely doesn't care about the noise of the Korean fans.

Are you kidding? Do they really expect parallel imports like Big Hippo to stop the Chinese men's basketball team? It would be more practical to dream...

What is the number one center in Asia? It would be great if this parallel import can be ranked among the tenth center in Asia.

…

As the draft was about to begin, Richard also went a day early and gave David Lee a West Lafayette gold medal.

Originally, at this year's championship award ceremony, Richard should come to the West Lafayette gold medal award ceremony, but Richard felt that it would be more exciting to save up and wait until he leaves the Pistons next year.

Therefore, during this year's championship awards, Richard did not bother with the West Lafayette gold medal.

However, David Lee's gold medal had been prepared for a long time. The day before the draft, Richard solemnly handed it over to David Lee.

David Lee's face was naturally full of excitement. He felt that his bright future was in front of him. In the future, he would definitely become the mainstay of this league like his West Lafayette seniors.

But Richard knew that things would definitely not be that easy, and he didn’t know what the consequences would be if David Lee entered the alliance early...

Because before David Lee, every NCAA player that Richard trained honestly entered the league according to Richard's plan, with the exception of David Lee.

Exceptions are a variable in Richard's eyes...

As a time traveler like him, what he dislikes most is variables. What he likes is that history develops on a normal track.

…

"Lee, after entering the league, you must work hard and don't slack off. You are now the only one in West Lafayette, but don't embarrass everyone!" Richard patted David Lee on the shoulder and solemnly said said.

David Li also nodded solemnly...

…

The next evening, Richard took Miles to the draft venue. Tonight may be the draft with the largest number of draft picks since Richard entered the league.

And the quality of the draft picks is probably the best yet...

…

After Richard entered the venue, many people stood up to say hello to Richard.

Among them are many old acquaintances of Richard, as well as some new coaches who have just won the head coaching position.

However, even the new coach is actually older than Richard. At this moment, everyone stood up to "greet" Richard, and the scene was a bit strange.

Among the coaches, Richard saw Zhang Weiping and Stevens.

I'm afraid Zhang Weiping is definitely not feeling very well right now. Missing out on the championship due to an unexpected injury would be uncomfortable for anyone.

Stevens is still an assistant coach of the Trail Blazers. Richard had heard that the Clippers wanted to invite Stevens to be the head coach, but for some reason they couldn't reach an agreement...

Richard guessed that Stevens must have demanded absolute rights, but the Clippers didn't give them, and the deal fell apart.

Even though Stevens is young, he is full of arrogance after working under Richard for so many years.

It is absolutely impossible for him to agree to being a puppet head coach.

…

Everyone chatted for a while, and Richard got to know a lot of new head coaches.

These new head coaches are basically puppets in their respective teams.

Facing a super coach like Richard, their attitude was quite respectful, with smiles on their faces.

Richard didn't put on any airs, smiled at everyone, and seemed to have a quite gentle personality.

But everyone knows that under Richard's gentle mask, there is a devil's face. Once you make him unhappy, it won't take long for him to make your life worse than death...

The best example is probably old Dunleavy.

The current general manager of the Bucks, Old Dunleavy, or to be precise, the former general manager of the Bucks, Old Dunleavy, is quite miserable at this moment.

His son has basically been harmed by Richard, and he can't even get a starting position in the Grizzlies.

Although his performance was eye-catching when he was on the bench, when Richard said that, who would dare to reuse young Dunleavy so much.

As for him, life is also difficult. Just after the season ended, he resigned from the position of general manager of the Bucks and is currently unemployed...

To say that he is resigning is to save face for old Dunleavy. It should really be said that he is being fired.

Anyway, the father and son are feeling quite uncomfortable right now.

If they had it to do over again, they would probably never provoke Richard again...

With so many precedents, the new head coaches in the venue naturally don't dare to provoke Richard. They even want to have a good relationship with Richard. Maybe Richard can help them in the future.

…

After chatting for a while, Stern began to appear, and this year's draft officially began.

Richard was also a little excited. He caught up with the 1996 draft, but since he had just entered the league that time, he was not very well prepared and did not have many draft picks on hand.

And now that we have caught up with the 2003 draft, I am already quite well prepared.
