Bishop of the Devil

"As for the second thing, I want to ask if there are any players on the team who are ready to participate in the draft, except Brent Barry..."

Richard looked around the conference room and said with a smile.

Barry is definitely going to participate in the draft, there is no need to think about it.

But no one spoke to other players...

Richard was startled, no one was going to participate in the draft? ! Although Iverson is staying now, Ben and Miller on the team are fully qualified to participate in the draft, and they will definitely be selected!

"Guys, don't take my feelings into account. You must know that you have chosen this path. Entering the NBA is your best destination. If some of you are willing to go to the draft, I will never stop it. I will only wish you the best." , I wish you a happy career!"

These words are from Richard's heart...

He looked at Da Ben, but when Da Ben saw Richard looking at him, he couldn't sit still...

"Coach, look at what I'm doing. I'm not the kind of heartless person. If it weren't for you, I might still be playing in that trashy community college. Even if you drive me away, I won't leave!"

"You coach at Purdue for one day, and I'll play basketball here for one day!"

Ben immediately expressed his attitude firmly. He would never leave after one day of coaching by Richard!

"Coach, I won't leave either. My current level is not good enough. I still need time to grow..."

"hey-hey……"

Miller also spoke, with his trademark silly smile...

Richard was startled. Iverson is not leaving, and neither is Ben nor Miller. Doesn't this mean that the main lineup of their Boilermakers has not changed...

Of course, many of the former seniors on the team will graduate from college in two months, and they will definitely leave the team.

After the meeting, Richard was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the lineup he had worked so hard to build could be maintained in the new season...

There's nothing we can do about the only one left, Brent Barry. After all, his seniors have graduated. If he doesn't participate in the draft, he won't be able to continue playing for the Boilermakers.

The coaching staff has added a new assistant coach, Brownie. This is Richard's compensation for Brownie's hard work over the past year.

Iverson, Ben and Miller all remain on the team, and the team's main lineup remains basically unchanged!

Richard is quite satisfied with the current result!

…

Dazhi has been in the United States for a month, and old Philip had already arranged for him to attend the municipal high school in West Lafayette.

Naturally, Dazhi joined the school team as soon as he entered school, and he was still the main starting player!

Not to mention Da Zhi's astonishing seven-foot height and considerable talent, with the contacts that Philip Sr. had managed in West Lafayette for more than 20 years, Da Zhi would never be able to serve as a substitute in a municipal high school.

Just like universities, high school students also have basketball leagues...

It's just that the high school league is much smaller, and its appeal to fans is far less than that of the NCAA...

In the past month, Dazhi has led West Lafayette High School to the quarterfinals of the state high school league. His performance is quite dazzling!

Tomorrow is the quarterfinals. If we win this game, West Lafayette Municipal High School will advance to the semifinals!

The reason why Richard hasn't started Operation Dragon Ball yet is actually mainly because he wants to accompany Dazhi these days. At least he has to wait until Dazhi finishes playing in the high school league...

"Dazhi, I have been too busy these days and have no time to watch your games. How about this? I will take Daben and the others to watch your quarter-finals tomorrow!" Richard asked with a smile. .

Dazhi quickly shook his head: "Uncle Li, please don't come. If you come, I will be nervous..."

Richard nodded. Da Zhi had a reserved temper. If Da Ben and others went to watch the game and then yelled wildly on the sidelines, it might really affect Da Zhi's performance.

"Well, you can play well tomorrow and don't feel pressured!"

"Even if you lose tomorrow, it doesn't matter. Anyway, by September, Uncle Li will definitely help you arrange to enter Purdue University!" Richard patted Dazhi on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Da Zhi nodded. As the match progressed, Da Zhi actually felt the strength of his opponent now!

Indiana can be said to be one of the states with the best basketball atmosphere in the United States. There are quite a lot of strong high school players in the state. Da Zhi can lead the team to the quarterfinals. In fact, this result is completely beyond Richard. anticipation.

"Okay, is there anything else I need to do for you? For example, make a phone call, communicate with your coach, and give you more opportunities to perform?"

As a championship coach, it is not difficult to ask a small high school basketball coach to sell his favor.

But Dazhi quickly shook his head: "Farewell, Uncle Li, they know you brought me here, so they already take good care of me..."

"I just want to eat tomatoes and scrambled eggs now..."

Richard almost lost his breath. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes? !

Dazhi quickly blushed and explained: "I've been eating those breads and stuff lately, and it makes me feel uncomfortable..."

"All right……"

Richard happens to be good at cooking the "national dish" of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. If Dazhi says he wants to eat twice-cooked pork or something, then Richard will have no choice but to do nothing...

Tomatoes are not rare, and eggs are even less rare. Richard took Dazhi to the supermarket and bought a lot of them.

I thought I had to cook anyway, so why not buy more ingredients, cook a meal for Dazhi if I have nothing to do, and improve the food...

I couldn't stop buying this. When the two of them walked out of the supermarket, they looked like two refugees fleeing, with large and small bags hanging all over their bodies...

"Uncle Li, did you buy too much? We can't finish it..." Dazhi asked distressedly.

"Don't you still have Da Ben and the others? Don't worry, those few animals will probably be able to feed them with just this little food..." Richard said with a smile.

Back at his residence, Richard asked Dazhi to greet Ben, Iverson and others, while he started cooking.

There is a simple kitchen in the studio. Although it is simple, Richard is not planning to make any difficult dishes. It is enough anyway.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes!

Hot and sour potato shreds!

Shredded pork with green pepper!

Finally, I steamed a basin of egg custard...

They are all extremely simple dishes. After Da Zhi found Da Ben and a few others, the dishes were already on the table...

…

"Coach, you actually know how to cook? God, why do I feel so close to you? It turns out we are the same kind of people. I know how to fry French fries..." As soon as Ben came in and saw the dishes on the table, he said I can't help but think of my experience working in Golden Arch Gate...

"Shall I try this strange French fries first? Huh? It doesn't seem to be fried, it's a strange way..." Daben looked at the hot and sour potato shreds on the table and reached out to grab one...

Richard's old face turned red, his knife skills were not up to par, and the shredded potatoes were cut into potato sticks...

"God!"

"Oh my God! OH SHIT!"

“So delicious!”

Daben exclaimed, causing several people in the room to look at him strangely...
