Bishop of the Devil

In early June, the finals were in full swing, and Richard had no time to pay attention to the progress of the finals.

Yao Ming was injured in the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, causing them to lose to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Heat and Mavericks will meet in the Finals as usual.

…

According to Richard's estimation, the Heat may still win the championship in the end. As long as the Mavericks don't solve their offensive stability, it will be quite difficult to defeat the Heat.

…

In the blink of an eye, Richard's three sons have turned one year old. According to domestic customs, a banquet must be held to celebrate, and a lottery activity must be held to see what the children are interested in.

This drawing of lots was just for fun. After hearing what Richard said, Tiana became very interested. She purchased a bunch of things and waited for the drawing of lots to begin.

The banquet was held as usual, but there were no outsiders, and Richard did not notify the players. He just called Golden Dragon and Paul Allen, who had been staying by his side, to have a meal together.

Golden Dragon has been with Richard for more than ten years. It can be said that he is half of Richard's family. Not long ago, Golden Dragon also found his true destiny and got married.

Richard personally cooked and prepared a table of fragrant and authentic domestic home-cooked dishes, which was enjoyed by several people.

Just after eating, Paul Allen was already eager to urge Richard to draw lots.

There is no such custom in the United States. When Paul Allen heard about this interesting custom, he was quite interested.

Tiana laid the prepared things out in the living room.

On a three-meter-square cashmere carpet, there are more than ten things, all of which are exquisite.

Oxford dictionary, ruler, dollar bills, calculator, pen, plasticine, shoes, spatula, etc., of course there must be a small basketball among them.

The eldest son Libit went into battle first and was placed at one end of the cashmere carpet by Tiana.

Without Tiana's greeting, Libit crawled straight towards the dozen or so things.

"Basketball, basketball!" Richard shouted from the side...

"Dollar bills, dollar bills!" Paul Allen also yelled.

I don’t know if Libit understood what Richard said, but he crawled forward, hugged the little basketball in his arms, and chuckled.

"Yes, it seems that someone can inherit my mantle." Richard grinned.

Although this thing is not that accurate, it also gives Richard something to look forward to...

Judging from the current situation, the eldest son Libit is the strongest, and he may be able to make a living in basketball in the future.

"What's so good about playing basketball? No matter how good you are, you're not just a part-time job. Lamb, come on, kid, don't choose basketball again." Paul Allen said dissatisfied.

He probably thought that a junior could inherit his legacy and become a financial tycoon.

Soon it was time for Li Lamb to go into battle. The little guy was a little at a loss and was not as lively as his brother Li Bit.

After a while of hard work, Li Lamb finally succeeded in drawing lots.

"Um, American legal history? Li, what does this mean? Will Lamb become a lawyer in the future?" Tiana asked dumbfounded.

Richard nodded. According to the lottery, Lamb might actually become a lawyer in the future.

However, this is only a lawyer in a broad sense. To be precise, it should be an arbiter.

It might be a sports referee, a prosecutor, or even a president like Stern...

Paul Allen was quite excited. If Lamb became a barrister, he would be quite satisfied.

The profession of barrister is among the elite in the United States. At least to Paul Allen, it sounds more respectable than that of athletes.

"When it comes to gold, I don't know what Jin will choose." Jodi glanced at the youngest Li Jin distressedly.

Not only Jody, but the whole family felt very sorry for Li Jin.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they put Li Jin on the cashmere carpet, Li Jin seemed to have a clear goal, climbed over quickly, and held the small basketball in his arms.

Richard was dumbfounded. He didn't expect his youngest son to draw lots and catch a basketball.

Is it possible that my youngest son will also become a player?

This possibility does not seem to be very high, and congenital deficiencies are difficult to make up for through the day after tomorrow.

Are you entering the coaching industry? It is possible...

…

Paul Allen sighed. Originally, he was looking forward to the result of the lottery, but now he was not looking forward to it at all, because the result disappointed him. Not a single child went to draw the dollar bills.

…

A week later, the finals were decided. The Heat defeated the Mavericks and won the championship. Wade also won the honor of Finals MVP.

Wade has become completely famous this time and has directly become the most dazzling new star in the league today.

Of course Yao Ming is also dazzling, but with the execution of his rookie contract, he can no longer be regarded as a new star.

…

There is almost a week left, and the new draft is about to begin.

There are a lot of West Lafayette players participating in the draft this year. Aldridge, Rondo, and Rudy Gay all signed up for the draft.

When the child turned one year old, Paul Allen mentioned Aldridge casually.

It’s no secret that the Raptors are preparing to sign Bargnani with the No. 1 pick, so what Paul Allen means is to ask Richard to give Aldridge to their Trail Blazers...

As for who the Buccaneers want to choose, he doesn't care. Aldridge and the Blazers want it anyway.

Faced with such a rude request from his half-father-in-law, Richard naturally...

I agreed without saying a word.

Aldridge is definitely good enough, but he is not very suitable for the center position. The same is true for Milicic, who is not very suitable for the center position.

It means that the positions of the two people overlap. Richard now needs to focus on cultivating Milicic and then get Aldridge, which is tantamount to harming Aldridge.

It would be better to let Aldridge join the Trail Blazers. Anyway, this can be regarded as a good deal.

My father-in-law's team is not my own team...

Moreover, in the short term, Aldridge's combat power is actually not the strongest among this rookie class.

Aldridge's success lies in his durability, being able to display his peak strength for many years, and there is only one person in this rookie class who can truly explode with strength as a rookie.

That's Brandon Roy.

If Richard wants to win the championship in the following season, he will definitely need players with stronger immediate combat capabilities.

…

Three days before the start of the draft, Richard received a call from Greencaps head coach Doc Rivers.

"Heh heh..." Doc Rivers kept laughing after he answered the phone, which made Richard's scalp tingle with laughter.

Richard knew very well what this old boy was planning.

He must have tasted the sweetness of last season's draft, and he is ready to come back to Richard this time to play with his style of play.

"Doug, if you have something to say, just say it, don't act like this..." Richard said speechlessly.

"I'm sorry to say it, but the draft is about to start again. Li, can you help us one more time?"

Richard expressed admiration for Doc Rivers's cheekiness. He said he was embarrassed to say it, but he still said it outright.

"Did Pierce ask for it?" Richard asked with a frown.

"no……"

"Dududu..."

Just after saying no, Doc Rivers only heard a blind tone on the phone, and Richard hung up the phone.

"This old boy is only thinking of good things. He's so shameless." Richard rolled his eyes and said after hanging up the phone.
