Bishop of the Devil

When the referee blew the final whistle, the Buccaneers won on their home court against the Eastern Conference.

Of course, it can be seen that the Pistons did not exert their strength in this game. Four players in their main lineup were on the injured list, and several players who appeared on the field did not work too hard.

I still have to give this bit of face to Richard...

If it were the playoffs now, then this kind of thing would definitely not happen. Everyone is rushing to win the championship, so how could they want to do so.

But this is the regular season now, so it doesn't matter. It's not a big deal to win one more game and one less game.

…

After playing the Pistons game, the Pirates have a pretty good schedule in the next two months.

There are very few top teams in the league. It is foreseeable that the Pirates will definitely have a good record in the next two months.

In the next home game, Beasley took Durant to watch the game again. It happened to be the weekend, and these high school students had nothing important to do.

The team coach naturally turned a blind eye to this. Beasley and Durant are now the signature stars of Oak Hill High School, and the coach is still counting on them to lead the team to win the state championship...

If these two boys are offended, it is not impossible for them to defect to other schools collectively.

Beasley has really done this kind of thing. The two of them ran away to other schools in their senior years of high school...

…

Because it was the opening game last time, Richard had a lot of things to deal with after the game, so he didn't have time to chat with these two boys.

There was enough time this time, and the two arrived in Charlotte in the afternoon.

In Richard's office, the two boys sat uneasily.

"Are you Kevin?" Richard looked at Durant and asked with a smile.

Durant is slightly taller than Beasley, but his body looks thinner than Beasley.

Durant smiled and nodded, grabbing his sleeves, his face flushed.

Facing a god-like existence in the basketball circle like Richard, Durant was quite nervous.

"Yes, cousin, he is Kevin Durant, my good friend."

"He told me before that his dream was to play at Purdue University."

"Cousin, can we both go to Pudu together then?"

Beasley and Richard have met a few times, and now they are gradually letting go.

Richard became happy. These two boys wanted to come to Pudu, which was naturally a dream.

Needless to say, Durant, if there was no Oden in the 2007 draft, he would have been the top pick.

It's really because Oden's performance in the NCAA was too buggy, and because he was an insider, he got the status of the No. 1 pick.

And Beasley, in fact, was also the favorite to be the No. 1 pick when he participated in the 2008 draft.

Although Rose is excellent, he does not have an absolute advantage over Beasley during the draft.

But Beasley's bad character can be said to be notorious, which is why he ranks below Rose.

If it were not a matter of character, no one knows what kind of achievements Beasley could achieve.

This guy's talent is so powerful that even Durant is ashamed of himself.

"Of course. After you graduate from high school, just sign up for Purdue. I will say hello there."

Richard said with a smile.

"Michael, there's something I need to talk to you about."

"Cousin, tell me, I will definitely listen to you." Beasley said solemnly with a small face.

"Be patient and don't do things halfway."

"Also, learn the tactical system well at Oak Hill and don't just play street basketball. It won't be of any benefit to your future career."

"You have to learn from Kevin on this, he should be your role model."

Richard recalled Beasley's career and gave him a very important piece of advice.

To say that Beasley and Durant are different, there are too many, and in terms of playing style, the two are also very different.

Durant can be said to be the kind of player that the coach likes most. He can strictly implement the tactics assigned by the coach. Of course, at certain special moments, he can also use his deadly attack power to save the situation.

But Beasley is different. This guy plays in a completely wild way...

Tactical system? nonexistent.

The word "tactics" does not exist in his mind, and he plays completely based on his own consciousness.

If such a player is a top superstar, then some coaches can still tolerate it...

Only some coaches can tolerate it, like some meritorious veteran coaches, they definitely can't bear it.

For example, now Richard can't stand players who act recklessly on the court.

Beasley has never had the opportunity to become a superstar, so naturally no coach can tolerate such a player.

Now Richard's advice to Beasley is to abandon his wild ways and study in a down-to-earth manner at Oak Hill, a famous basketball school. This will definitely be good for his future.

The status of Oak Hill High School in the American basketball circle is almost equal to that of UCLA, the mecca of NCAA basketball.

Of course, Purdue University is also making progress, and it may not take long to take the title of basketball mecca from UCLA.

These well-established basketball schools all have their own mature tactical systems, and there may even be more than one, but several mature tactical systems.

If Beasley can calm down and study hard, his career may not be so miserable in the future.

…

Durant was dumbfounded. Richard actually mentioned his name? !

Has he been paying attention to himself? Otherwise, why should Beasley take himself as the second choice?

Both Beasley and Durant are outstanding high school players. Even if Richard pays attention to them, it is actually quite normal.

Durant's little heart was now beating wildly, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

Richard, this god-like existence, has been paying attention to himself, and he has also given himself a good evaluation, and even made his cousin regard him as the second best.

For a moment, Durant felt like he was floating. This feeling was so wonderful.

…

Beasley was startled, how could his cousin know him so well?

The coaches who have coached him must be aware of the problem Richard mentioned, and have talked about it with Beasley more than once.

But with Beasley's unruly temperament, how could he possibly listen to it.

In his opinion, if I can win, that's all. You don't care how I play...

But now that Richard has raised this issue again, Beasley has to take it seriously.

"Cousin, don't worry, I will pay attention to this, I will not let you down." Beasley said firmly.

Richard nodded, I hope so. The Beasley kid himself felt pity when he looked at it. If his words could really save Beasley's career, then he would be considered a great achievement.

"By the way, cousin, do you think this relationship between us can be made public?"

Beasley looked at Richard expectantly.

"Yes, of course, it's not a shameful thing..."

"Unless you think it's embarrassing to have a cousin like me..." Richard said with a smile.

He can understand what Beasley is thinking now. Although Beasley has a father and a mother, he was basically no different from an orphan when he was a child.

Now that he suddenly has a relative like Richard, and he is such an important relative in the basketball circle, the young Beasley has the urge to announce it to the world.

He could imagine how shocked his teammates and coaches would be when he made the news public.

Durant on the side looked at Beasley with envy.

He wondered why he didn't have a cousin like Richard...

No, I have to look through the old photo albums when I go back. Maybe I can have something to do with Richard.
