Bishop of the Devil

"Hey, three little girls smashed their watches..." Jordan led the reporters towards the three of Iverson.

He greeted me quite "warmly"...

Hearing this voice, the three of them rolled their eyes at the same time.

When Iverson was playing in the rookie game last season, he met Jordan. The first thing Jordan said was, "How are you doing? My watch is smashed..."

There is no harm in it, this is the standard way for old gangsters to greet newcomers...

The old hooligan was quite familiar with Iverson before Iverson entered the league. In an interview, he even said that Iverson was the most powerful offensive defender in the NCAA.

As for Kobe, a second-year rookie, Jordan has actually been paying attention to him and has a strong impression!

Maybe I see my own shadow in Kobe...

As for O'Brien, Jordan actually has some desires for this young center. With the improvement of O'Brien's strength, Luke Longley is really nothing in front of O'Brien.

But Jordan also knew very well that Richard would definitely not sell Leonardo. Larry Bird offered a very generous bargaining chip, but Richard rejected it without saying a word. Jordan knew this well.

But even if he knew he wouldn't get O'Brien, it still couldn't stop Jordan's love for O'Brien. He was an old-school player. Look, when he was with the Wizards, he used the No. 1 pick to select high school big man Kwame Brown. He has some special interest in young insiders...

"Come, tell me what the three of you are talking about?"

Jordan asked with a smile.

"We're talking about who among us can win the MVP!" Kobe said with a smile on his face.

Many reporters were immediately interested. Kobe was so awesome, he actually said such words in front of Jordan...

Jordan also became interested, "What do you mean, kid, do you want to get the MVP in my hands?"

"Haha, interesting..." Jordan grinned.

"Okay! Then let me take a good look at your abilities!"

After that, Jordan smiled and left...

…

Richard sat on the sidelines, with New York fans cheering behind him. The fans did not miss any opportunity to win over Richard.

Richard had no interest in New York from the bottom of his heart.

Mainly New York fans, they are really a bit unauthentic, which makes Richard a little disgusted. Even the fans have no loyalty at all, how can they expect the players to work hard for the team...

Therefore, the Knicks occupy the best market in the league, but they have not achieved results that match them. In fact, it can be explained, that is, their fans are not good...

…

Da Zhi also came to the scene today to cheer for his big brother Iverson. The two chatted intimately on the sidelines.

Seeing this scene, Richard felt an indescribable sense of violation.

It's not that Richard has any objections to the close relationship between the two, but there is another reason.

Old fans should all remember one thing about the CBA Bayi Team.

The Bayi Team is known as the Bayi Martial Arts Team in China, and it is their "tradition" to fight on the field.

They beat the Fujian team in the CBA league and the Lebanese and Puerto Rican teams in the international arena. The god of war Liu Yudong even picked up a folding chair and beat the Lebanese center to a bloody head.

The most famous one is probably the time when the Bayi team beat Georgetown University...

As for Dazhi, he is definitely an extremely representative player in the history of the Bayi Team.

Iverson is one of the most famous stars in the history of Georgetown University.

Look at the closeness between the two people now, which makes Richard feel even more uncomfortable...

…

"Hey, Lee, what are you thinking about? Why do you think you are in a daze?" Larry Bird came over and said to Richard with a smile.

"Dude, you really want to come to New York, do you?"

"Don't do it. The fans in New York are quite difficult to take care of. I think it's better for you to stay in the West!"

Richard rolled his eyes. Who knows if Larry Bird said this because he was afraid that Richard would mess up the East after Richard came to the East.

The West now is really in a mess because of Richard.

"No, I have no intention of transferring, Mr. Bird, don't worry..."

"Hey, look at Jermaine, man, I really regret it now!" Larry Bird looked at O'Brien and said sadly.

Richard was curious, "Regret? What do you regret?"

"I should have continued to increase my chips. If I could get Jermaine, I was really sure that I could pass the Bulls in the Eastern Conference!" Larry Bird said confidently.

"Well, man, what's there to regret about this? To tell you the truth, even if you continue to increase your chips, I will not trade Jermaine. Even if you trade Reggie, I will not change my mind!" Richard smiled easily.

Larry Bird was secretly stunned. If Richard wasn't bragging, then Richard would be really terrible!

He is so confident in his own vision. Even if Reggie Miller comes to replace O'Brien, Richard will not change. How confident is this...

"Okay, Li, I really admire you now!"

"I'll tell you the truth, when you entered the NBA, I was actually quite dismissive of you..."

"Man, you are more than ten years younger than me. You are really young. No one will believe that you can achieve such a record in the NBA today..."

"My judgment of people is really not as good as yours. If I had known this, I should have fired Larry Brown and made room for you as the Pacers coach!" Larry Bird said regretfully.

He did regret it. If Larry Brown had been fired and Richard had been hired, wouldn't O'Brien, Ben, and Kobe be all Pacers players...

Then counting Reggie Miller, the Pacers may really be able to defeat the Bulls this year!

"There is no need to regret it. Maybe we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future, right, Mr. Bird?" Richard smiled.

Hearing this, Larry Bird was immediately elated. Although Richard did not give a definite promise, Richard's words were enough...

Being on good terms with Richard is simply too important for Larry Bird, the Pacers coach.

Any new talent coming out of Richard's fingers will benefit the Pacers a lot!

"Mr. Bird, you must be very clear about the relationship between Iverson and me. I can come up with a piece of information. As for what I want, you should be very clear..." Richard suddenly lowered his voice and said to Larry Bird said.

Larry Bird feels like today might be his lucky day.

"It's a small matter, Li, tell me what the message is?"

"Next year's draft is a big year!" Richard said with a mysterious smile.

"Big Nian? How big is it?" Larry Bird asked with a look of shock.

"Perhaps there are more stars than the number of stars produced in 1996. Mr. Bird, please don't spread this news outside, just the two of us know it!"

Larry Bird nodded solemnly. This news couldn't be more wonderful for Larry Bird.

Among the newcomers in 1996, more than a dozen of them have shown outstanding performance. It is estimated that these people will have the opportunity to be selected as All-Stars in the future.

According to Richard, the number of stars produced in the next draft may be more than that in 1996. How could this not make Larry Bird excited?
