Bishop of the Devil

Three days later, Richard signed a contract with TSN representatives in Olshey's office!

An hour later, 10 million US dollars arrived...

In Richard's opinion, this money was easier than what was brought by the strong wind, and he received 10 million US dollars so easily!

Counting his previous savings of over RMB 10 million, plus income from college papers, Richard's total assets have now reached over RMB 40 million!

Forty million dollars!

This is a number that makes Richard a little stunned...

Richard has never focused much on making money. Even if he writes novels, he only writes them to pass the time when he is extremely bored...

But I didn’t expect that in such a short period of time, I would earn 40 million US dollars!

But after making money, problems also arise...

That is the tax issue. Some of this money is after-tax, and some of it is before-tax. For those pre-tax income, Richard still needs to file and pay taxes...

Such a huge amount of income would probably be enough to put Richard in jail if he didn't pay taxes.

Taxes in the United States are reported once a year. Richard feels that he needs to find a financial assistant. Otherwise, taxes alone will give Richard a headache...

The taxation in the United States is very complicated, and there are various tax avoidance schemes. Hiring professionals in this field can also help Richard pay less tax.

…

Just when Richard signed the contract with TSN, Zhang Weiping was taking the Blazers players to tomorrow's pre-match press conference.

Tomorrow is the day when the Trail Blazers sit at home and face the Lakers!

The pre-game press conference itself is dispensable. Many teams have assistant coaches leading players to participate, which is basically just a formality.

But this press conference was Zhang Weiping's first, so he cared about it very much. Wearing a well-fitting light-colored suit and a bright red tie, he looked quite chic.

…

As for which player Zhang Weiping brought to the press conference, you can think of it with your big toe, and Kobe must be among them.

Kobe is in a good mood. The last time he was caught by Richard attending a press conference left a deep shadow on him...

This time I came to the meeting with Zhang Weiping, and he was very relaxed.

For Zhang Weiping, Kobe became more and more fond of him. Anyway, during team training, Kobe would stick to Zhang Weiping's side whenever he had nothing to do...

Originally, Kobe did not want to participate in this pre-game press conference, but Zhang Weiping said that he would lead the team himself, so Kobe agreed without saying a word.

However, what Kobe didn't expect was...

What happened next made him a little embarrassed.

"Kobe is the best young backcourt I have ever seen!"

"If it weren't for some reasons, Kobe's statistics would definitely not be worse than Iverson!"

"In my eyes, Kobe is definitely the top three rookies in the 1996 class!"

"I can't say at all what his future achievements will be, because my poor English vocabulary is really unable to describe his glorious future!"

"Kobe Bryant will definitely be an All-Star next year!"

A good press conference turned into a scientific conference under the leadership of Zhang Weiping...

Kobe was naturally elated after hearing this, but he also knew that Zhang Weiping's bragging was a bit too much this time.

With such a boast, if I can make it to the All-Stars next season, that's fine, but what if I can't make it? Wouldn’t Kobe Bryant and Zhang Weiping be embarrassed together...

Therefore, Zhang Weiping's image in Kobe's heart suddenly became a bit devilish...

Of course, this is a good devil, well, a good ghost similar to Xiaoqian in A Chinese Ghost Story.

Completely different from Richard's kind of demons and evil spirits...

Since then, the entire Trail Blazers team, whether they are players, head coaches, or assistants, all have become devils in Kobe's heart...

…

That night, Richard tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep.

It's not because of the $40 million, but because I'm thinking about tomorrow's game against the Lakers...

There is no doubt that the Lakers team is the target that Richard wants to catch up with in the near future!

The current Lakers are far less powerful than the later OK combination period. If they want to dominate the Western Conference, according to the normal historical trajectory, it will take at least three years!

This is the time when Kobe has completely grown up!

But now that they don't have Kobe, no one knows whether they will still have the strength to dominate the Western Conference in three years...

Richard doesn't know, and doesn't want to know, because the Lakers they will face tomorrow are almost exactly the same as the Lakers at the same time in history...

The only difference is that Kobe was replaced by Kidders.

These two rookie substitutes have almost a minimal impact on the Lakers' overall strength!

Defeating the Lakers in this game officially marked the Blazers' improvement in strength to a considerable level...

But if they can't beat the Lakers, it means the Trail Blazers still have a long way to go.

After all, the current Lakers are only a third-tier team, and they are still far behind the Bulls dynasty!

If Richard wants to lead his team to win the championship, even the Lakers can't beat it. That's absolutely a dream.

…

The reason why the Lakers have a better record than the Trail Blazers now is because of their killer O'Neal!

Excluding O'Neal, the Lakers' lineup is actually quite ordinary, perhaps not as good as last season's Trail Blazers...

But with O'Neal as a killer, the Lakers' originally ordinary lineup became extraordinary!

In Richard's view, Lakers are more similar to an animal in nature.

The dove takes over the magpie's nest, the turtle dove!

The Lakers do not have the ability to produce top centers, but they do have the ability to rob top centers...

Needless to say, O'Neal was robbed from the Magic by the Lakers.

O'Neal will have the precedents of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain in the future, and the deeds of Gasol and Howard in the future...

…

What Richard is thinking about now is how to solve O'Neal's problem!

If O'Neal is eliminated, the Lakers will basically be doomed. If O'Neal is eliminated during the OK combination period, the Lakers still have K to turn the tide...

But now the Lakers don't have K. Their current backcourt is a bit mediocre, which in Richard's view is nothing to be afraid of.

…

This point of strength, coupled with the shark-cutting tactics, is currently the best way Richard can think of to deal with O'Neal!

But he wasn't sure either.

Ben has not yet reached his peak, so it will definitely be difficult to deal with O'Neal. Even if Ben has reached his peak, he will never be able to defend O'Neal alone. The height and tonnage of the two are completely different.

Fortunately, Richard had the foresight to recruit Rasheed Wallace into his employ early...

The combination of these two people will definitely cause some trouble for O'Neal!

No one can tell how much it can limit O'Neal's performance. We can only look at it in actual combat.

It may have a very good effect, or it may have a very bad effect. The two Wallaces teamed up and were completely destroyed by the great killer O'Neal.

…

As for the shark-killing tactic, it is not necessarily effective against O'Neal at all times...

Although O'Neal's free throws are extremely bad, in some games, his free throws suddenly burst out. At this time, using the shark tactic to send him to the free throw line will only have the effect of making O'Neal score more easily...
