Bishop of the Devil

Richard couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about this No. 4 pick.

In recent years, I have been really lucky, and I have always been able to get quite high draft picks.

The No. 1 pick in 2002, the No. 2 pick in 2003, and the guaranteed No. 4 pick in 2004. It’s simply...

…

The Pistons were still so strong and continued to beat their opponents in the following games. The players in the team also performed very well. Except for Milicic, who was relatively disappointed, everyone else showed quite strong abilities.

Needless to say, this Pistons team will definitely become a dominant team in the league like the previous Trail Blazers, at least the dominant team in the Eastern Conference.

The pattern in the Eastern Conference has basically not changed. If there is a change, I am afraid that the Cavaliers got James and started with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses, which is more surprising.

You must know that the previous Cavaliers were masters of the Eastern Conference. Looking at their current record, could it be said that they are not ready to perform badly? Ready to start targeting the championship?

Richard naturally doesn't care much about knights. At least in the next few years, knights will never enter Richard's field of vision.

The Cavaliers still have a long way to go in the future, and Richard's new Pirates may even be trying to become the new overlords in the Eastern Conference, but they haven't figured it out yet.

The Pistons' next home game will be against the Cavaliers.

When he first joined the league, Richard felt a little excited when he played against those veteran stars.

But now that he is about to face James, Richard feels quite ordinary and has no excitement.

Not only James, but also players like Anthony, Richard didn't feel anything special after looking at them.

It may be that Richard was about the same age as these stars in his previous life, so he is unlikely to have any admiration for his peers, and may look at these stars more rationally.

When it comes to stars produced after 2010, Richard can no longer be worshiped. There is no reason for a middle-aged man to worship some 20-year-old raw melon eggs.

Since there was no emotion of admiration, Richard naturally wasn't too excited and looked at the game very normally.

Even Richard had to admit that James was indeed strong enough. Regardless of his character and poor work style, if only looking at his strength, he was pretty good.

but……

There is a limit to being strong. It is impossible for him to be the strongest player in the history of the entire league as he said. This is definitely a self-promotion and self-promotion.

In the entire history of the league, no one except James dares to say that he is the number one in history. The reason is very simple, because Jordan is on top of everyone.

After James boasted that he was the number one player in the history of the league, reporters naturally wanted to ask Jordan about his attitude.

After all, the recognized number one in history is Jordan. If James wants to cross the mountain of Jordan, he must get Jordan's approval.

As a result, Jordan's words hit James hard in the face and made him make a big joke.

"No matter how the outside world evaluates me, I have never said that I am the number one in history."

"Because that is disrespectful to celebrities..."

Just this sentence made the difference between the two people, their mind and structure are completely different.

…

At eight o'clock in the evening, fans had already begun to enter the stadium. When the players from both sides knew each other, they also said hello and hugged on the court.

The Cavaliers now have another West Lafayette player, Al Harrington.

He led James to Richard.

"Coach, congratulations on winning the championship last season!"

Harrington was all smiles. Richard won the championship, so he, a member of West Lafayette, was also quite proud.

"Al, you knights are about to rise, congratulations." Richard patted Al Harrington on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The Cavaliers' current lineup is really good.

James plays point guard, Harrington has strong offensive ability on the front line, and powerful center Big Z is on the inside. Although it is definitely far behind the Pistons, if the running-in is successful, it will not be a problem to reach the top half of the Eastern Conference in the next two years.

"I hope, by the way, let me introduce you, this is LeBron James, coach, you should know." Harrington said with a smile.

"He is your fan and admires you very much. He has long been begging me to let him get to know you tonight no matter what."

James on the side was looking at Richard with a smile on his face.

"Nice young man, work hard." Richard patted James on the shoulder to encourage him, trying to give Harrington some face.

After being slapped by Richard, James suddenly grinned. Not to mention, this smile made him look older...

One James, one Oden, they are both old-looking No. 1 picks, faces that were thirty years old when they debuted.

"Coach, please call me KING, this is my nickname."

James didn't think too much about it. He had been using this nickname since high school. He was thinking about letting Richard call him his nickname, which would make him more intimate...

But what he didn't expect was that Richard's face suddenly turned dark.

Call you KING? Could it be that you treat me as a eunuch...

What the hell, I'm a top coach in the league, calling you KING, a kid with no hair on his head, isn't this a joke?

"Young man, being low-key is a good boy. I hope you can remember this sentence." Richard looked directly into James' eyes and said.

Harrington had been in contact with Richard for a long time and knew Richard's temper quite well.

As soon as I heard Richard's words and looked at Richard's face, I knew that Richard was a little unhappy.

They immediately started fighting, "Coach, young people are ignorant, don't take it to heart, haha, next time you go to Cleveland to play an away game, I'll treat you to a drink..."

Richard nodded, and Harrington quickly dragged the confused James back to the bench.

"Are you crazy? Do you want the coach to call you KING?" Harrington saved face for James and did not accuse James in front of Richard.

James was still confused, "What's wrong with calling KING?"

"This is my nickname..."

Harrington frowned, "Young man, the coach is right, a good boy is a low-key person. Don't always use your self-proclaimed nickname in the future."

James' expression instantly froze, his face began to turn red, and he looked at Harrington coldly.

When Harrington saw James's expression, he immediately became dissatisfied. He was James's senior no matter what, and if he said a few words, James would fall out.

Before Harrington could open his mouth to teach James a lesson, the horn sounded above the arena and the game was about to begin.

The starting players from both sides began to appear.
