Bishop of the Devil

After Richard finished raising these three conditions, he looked at Jordan and Jordan patiently.

Jordan nodded towards Pippen, which must mean that these three conditions can be agreed to.

Indeed, there are no too harsh conditions. Pippen can easily meet all three conditions.

In exchange, Pippen was able to get more than 30 minutes of playing time.

"Okay, Li, let's see how I perform next."

"I have a hunch that maybe this coming season, I will put up surprising numbers." Pippen said with a smile.

Richard nodded. Not to mention, Pippen's premonition was absolutely correct. He was back in the same physical condition as a 33-year-old, and with the addition of props, Richard couldn't imagine how good Pippen would be in the future. powerful!

Letting Pippen get more than 30 minutes of playing time will not do any harm to Iguodala.

He partners with Pippen on the court and can learn from Pippen's game experience most intuitively.

Ariza is not so lucky. Pippen's playing time must be deducted from Ariza.

But it is completely impossible for Richard not to give Ariza any playing time. He is also a player that Richard likes more, and he plans to keep it in his hands and cultivate it slowly.

In addition, Richard is thinking about whether to fatten up the sharpshooter Kapono. After he is fattened, he can trade it for draft picks.

Kapono's three-point shooting is quite strong and is at the top level in the league, but after excluding the three-pointers, there is nothing left in him...

The value is certainly there, but not much higher.

It's not worth cultivating vigorously, but if you just give it up, it would be extremely wasteful, and it is a relatively useless player...

…

That afternoon, Richard led the team to start their next away trip.

The first game was against the Los Angeles Lakers.

It has to be said that Pippen was very lucky. After he negotiated terms with Richard, his first game was against the Lakers, a game that attracted a lot of attention.

If Pippen can perform well in this game, he will definitely be blown away by the old American media.

…

"Scotty, you will be the main guard against Kobe tonight. Do you have any questions?" The game was about to start. Richard said to Pippen with a smile in the away locker room.

Pippin jumped and stood up.

"No problem, absolutely no problem. Although that kid is pretty good, I feel like I can definitely make that kid look good now!"

"Tonight, I'm going to score 30 points on that kid!"

After talking to Richard yesterday, he felt as if he had inexhaustible energy all over his body.

The whole person's condition is extremely good!

In such an extremely good state, let alone letting Pippen face off against Kobe, even against the peak Jordan, Pippen probably wouldn't frown.

It is worth mentioning that in Pippen's eyes, Jordan is a completely god-like character...

No matter who says he surpasses Jordan in the future, Jordan will definitely not explain it out loud due to his status, but Pippen will definitely jump out and angrily criticize the other person.

Iguodala on the side was slightly disappointed.

Originally, he thought he would have a chance to play against Kobe tonight, but unfortunately, this chance was taken away by Pippen.

But that's okay. Iguodala feels that with his current strength, if he goes against Kobe, he will probably be beaten.

No matter what I say, it's just a new melon egg...

But Kobe has been the top attacker in the league for many years. It is definitely not unusual for him to be beaten.

As for Ariza, that is even more disappointing. Not only did he lose the chance to face Kobe, he even lost the chance to start...

But Richard also had a good chat with Ariza on the plane to Los Angeles.

These young players will have more ideas. If he ignores them, Ariza may not be able to come up with any ideas.

…

"Kobe!"

"Kobe!"

The Lakers began to enter the court. With O'Neal's departure, Kobe has become the absolute boss of the Lakers.

Some Lakers fans are extremely disgusted with Kobe, thinking that he forced O'Neal away, but there are still some fans who pin their hopes of winning the championship on Kobe.

Since the start of this season, the Lakers' record is somewhat embarrassing, with a winning rate of just over 50%.

There is nothing we can do about it. Compared with the current Lakers lineup from last season, it is completely impossible to see.

…

After the Buccaneers entered the game, Kobe took Odom with him, and the two ran to Richard.

"Coach, please take care of Lamar, this kid is a little lawless."

"Yesterday's training session, this guy was two hours late."

"I know, he must have been playing with that big-assed bitch all night again!"

Kobe looked angry and ran to Richard to scold Odom.

Odom looked confused. Good guy, you just agreed to come and say hello to the coach?

Are you, Kobe, a poisonous person? Telling yourself in front of the coach!

And, most importantly, what happened to the big-assed pussies? It sounds like your Vanessa has a small butt!

Odom looked at Richard with some pain. You must know that before this, Richard had told Odom countless times to stay away from big-assed bitches...

Now I am almost knowingly committing the crime!

Richard frowned and looked at Odom. If he guessed correctly, the big-assed girl Kobe mentioned was undoubtedly Khloe Kardashian.

This woman is really very poisonous, causing Odom to die in various ways, and almost even lost his life.

"Lamar, is it Khloé Kardashian? A girl from the Kardashian family?" Richard asked with a frown.

Odom nodded, this is not a secret, basically everyone in Los Angeles knows.

"Can you stay away from this woman?" Richard continued to ask with a tangled look on his face.

Odom shook his head, "Coach, we are true love..."

"I can't live without her, he is my destiny!"

…

Hearing what Odom said, Richard couldn't help but feel angry and completely speechless.

Bad fate, this is the real bad fate!

I originally thought that telling Odom to stay away from big-assed women would prevent Odom from being affected by the Kardashian family.

But now it seems that this is not that easy.

These young black men with sperm in their brains really have no resistance at all when faced with the "celebrities" who are sent to their door for free.

Richard sighed and patted Odom on the shoulder.

"Man, since you said it was true love, I hope you can be more sensible."

"First of all, you must stabilize your career. If a man loses his career, do you think she will still be with you?"

…

Odom nodded, a little disapproving in his heart, and did not take Richard's words too seriously.

Richard also noticed Odom's disapproval and sighed deeply.

…

Across the court, the new Lakers head coach Tang Shuai frowned and looked at Richard.

He had just resigned as head coach of the Rockets and was hired by Buss to coach the Lakers without O'Neal.

As for Zen Master Jackson? Well, he has walked away from his position as Lakers head coach...

Seeing Kobe Bryant, the team's leader, and Odom, the team's second leader, being so close to Richard, even a humble gentleman like Tang Shuai is extremely appetizing.

Richard responded to Tang Shuai's gaze with a smile. He was a poor man. Under normal circumstances, Tang Shuai only coached the Lakers for half a season and then left the Lakers because of cancer.

Since then, Tang Shuai has completely bid farewell to the NBA coaching industry.

Richard thought it was quite a pity. Tang Shuai's character and coaching ability were actually quite good.

It's just that I'm a bit unlucky...

Winning two championships in the middle of the Bulls dynasty is the most impressive honor in his coaching career.

If there was no Bulls dynasty, then Tang Shuai would probably have no fewer championships than the current Zen Master.
