Bishop of the Devil

The two boys chatted with Richard in the office for nearly an hour, and then played "NBALIVE04" with Richard for a while...

Durant was dumbfounded. Is this the madman Richard nicknamed the Big Devil?

This guy is actually in his office, playing games every day?

Shouldn't I just lock myself in the office every day, turn off the lights, close my eyes and think about how to harm others...

Playing until evening, Richard took the two boys to the training ground to invite the players to have something to eat and prepare for the evening game.

If these two boys are NCAA players, then if they have such contact with Richard, I am afraid that if Stern finds out, they will fine Richard hundreds of thousands of dollars first, regardless of their cousin relationship.

But now both of them are high school students, and Stern is completely clueless...

Although Paul and others are all professional players, they are not much older than Beasley and Durant.

Coupled with Beasley's status as Richard's cousin, the two boys quickly became involved with the Pirates players.

Milicic stood aside, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Beasley and Durant were frightened when they saw Milicic. Milicic almost beat others to death...

…

At noon the next day, Richard called Brownie again.

Now that Philippe Sr. has retired, all the work for Purdue has fallen on Brownie Jr.'s head.

Because the Purdue Boilermakers are now too profitable, Brownie's current salary is as high as $6 million.

Moreover, the coaching staff also hired many experienced coaches with high salaries...

Purdue is willing to give Brownie such a high salary, naturally it is for Richard's sake.

They know very well that as long as Brownie Jr. takes over, Richard will definitely not ignore Purdue, so the salary of 6 million is still quite worthwhile.

Richard told Brownie that Durant was going to attend Purdue University and told him to recruit Durant when Black March was over.

As for Beasley, he will have to wait another year before going to college.

Although he is only three or four months younger than Durant, Durant was born in 1988, while Beasley was born on January 9, 1989...

Beasley can't run away anyway, and will definitely join Purdue when the time comes.

The new NCAA season has begun, and their starting lineup now consists of Aldridge, Rudy Gay, Rondo, Danny Green and Brewer.

Compared with last season when Al Jefferson was here, the strength has not declined, and has even improved.

After all, Aldridge and the other four second-year students are definitely much better than they were in the first grade.

If nothing else, this year's NCAA championship will definitely be won by Purdue University.

And when this year's Black March ends, although Purdue University will have many people participating in the draft, it will not be difficult to recruit several outstanding high school players with the addition of Durant as a guarantee.

At least the Lopez brothers have publicly expressed their interest in Purdue University.

If the NCAA continues to win the championship next season, there won't be a big problem.

…

In the blink of an eye, the NBA regular season schedule has entered mid-January.

What gave Richard a sense of achievement was that Milicic won the Player of the Month honor in December.

The Buccaneers played a total of 15 games in December, and the schedule was really easy. Among these 15 games, the strongest team was the New Jersey Nets...

The record of 11 wins and 4 losses, coupled with the good record before December, has allowed the Buccaneers to enter the top three positions in the Eastern Conference.

Right now, they are only one win away from the Heat, which is second in the Eastern Conference.

It's already mid-January, and there's still a month left before the All-Star Weekend.

Using this month's time, the Pirates may not have a chance to catch up with the Heat.

In fact, Richard doesn't really want to have a good record this season.

Mainly thinking about draft picks.

If the Buccaneers end up with one of the best records in the league, then their final first-round pick will definitely be at the bottom.

In the 2006 draft, being at the bottom of the first round did not allow Richard to get the players he wanted.

It can be used to get Millsap, but this makes Richard feel a bit wasteful.

Millsap was selected with the 47th overall pick, and Richard would definitely be reluctant to use a first-round pick to select him.

In the middle and later stages of the first round, there are two players that Richard wants, one is Rondo and the other is the little steel gun Lowry.

Among them, Rondo is the 21st pick, and the Little Steel Cannon is the 24th pick.

Richard's goal is Rondo. Of course, Rondo may rise in the draft because of the gold plated at Purdue University.

If it really reaches a point that Richard cannot accept, then he will have no choice but to settle for Lowry.

…

Richard is currently preparing to keep the top four spots in the Eastern Conference before the All-Star Weekend. After the All-Star Weekend, he will train as many new players as possible so that the team's record will drop to an acceptable level, and then win a championship. A draft pick with the 20th overall pick or higher.

In this way, he will have a chance to get Rondo...

And the new players they have trained can be used as bargaining chips before the draft starts to be traded with teams that hold high draft picks.

In this way, Richard may get another high-ranking rookie after winning Rondo and Millsap.

It could be Guy, it could be Roy.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, Richard can laugh out loud.

After these three people join the Pirates, and with Xinguadanzi gradually maturing, Richard will have a good chance of winning the championship.

…

During the schedule from mid-January to mid-February, the Pirates had a tough time, mainly because the average strength of their opponents was too strong. This resulted in their record not being able to surpass the Heat, and they ended up staying in third place in the Eastern Conference.

But even that is enough to get Buccaneers fans excited.

You must know that the Pirates only won 11 games in total last season.

This season, they have reached the top three in the Eastern Conference. With such a huge improvement, what else can fans be dissatisfied with.

Everyone knows that one bite cannot make you fat. As long as they can see the team's progress, the home team fans will be satisfied.

If nothing else, this year's best head coach honor will definitely go to Richard again.

This huge improvement in record is quite helpful in getting the COY honor.

Sometimes, even a team's sixth or seventh record in the conference is enough for their coach to get COY.

…

Just a few days before the start of the All-Star Weekend, Pistons head coach Flip Saunders announced that he would miss this year's All-Star Weekend due to personal reasons.

His qualifications to lead the team were handed over to Richard, the head coach of the Buccaneers, who had the third best record in the Eastern Conference.

After the news was made public, not many people paid attention to it.

Mainly, it's not the first time this kind of thing has happened to Richard.

This situation has happened before...

The top four head coaches in the Eastern Conference are currently Sanders, Pat Riley, Richard and Nets head coach Frank.

Frank felt a little sad that he missed such a good opportunity.

If the Nets can get first place in the Eastern Conference again this year, he will not hesitate to hand over this qualification to Richard.

Because the benefits are so obvious.

Amir Johnson made up for their lack of interior defense. If it weren't for Amir Johnson, it would be difficult for the Nets to get the fourth position in the Eastern Conference with the rise of the Pirates and Green Kai.

Richard was relieved. He was qualified to lead the All-Star team again, and he could get one more super suit.

And by the way, you can also harvest a wave of props.
