Bishop of the Devil

Although Big Gouzi has endless dissatisfaction with Richard, he was quite afraid of Richard before.

So even if you are dissatisfied, you have to bow your head. Every time you play against Richard's team, you have to greet him with a smile...

But now the situation is different, the situation has changed, and the Bucks currently have a better record than the Pistons.

They started with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses...

In addition, there seems to be no fierce opponent in the Pistons lineup, which directly makes the big dog a little swollen.

Even if I don't give Richard face, what can I do?

Is it possible that Richard can go out in person and roll up his sleeves to do what he wants?

Even if he dares to go on stage and roll up his sleeves to do himself, will he be his opponent? If he doesn't hit him, he will scream!

"Although it has been a long time since it happened, I feel quite uncomfortable every time I think about it!"

"Yes, that's what happened when our Bucks were beaten by the Trail Blazers with the largest points difference in history."

"I think the next game will be our chance to fight back."

The reporters in the audience were speechless. This was the first time they had seen such shameless people take the initiative to mention their shameful records...

Who would talk about being beaten by the largest score difference in history every day?

I'm afraid he's not a fool...

Thinking of Big Gouzi's daily words and deeds, it's actually quite appropriate to say that this guy is a fool.

And we need to fight back in the next game? Your next opponent for the Bucks is not the Trail Blazers. You guys are so stupid to fight back...

All the reporters rolled their eyes and were quite speechless about the big dog.

Big Gouzi didn't care very much, he just talked about himself: "I think back then, that is, five years ago..."

"I was still playing at Purdue University at that time, and Richard was a junior assistant coach on our team."

"Who would have thought that he could get to where he is today."

"You know, we all looked down upon this little assistant coach at that time, and some players would even bully this little assistant coach!"

“These West Lafayette players now coming into the league should actually be thanking me.”

"When my teammates bullied Richard, it was Richard who I stood up to protect. If it weren't for me, Richard might not be where he is today."

"Maybe there won't be so many West Lafayette players..."

Listening to Big Dog Robinson talking to himself, the reporters were all dumbfounded.

Is there such a thing? ! Richard was the target of bullying before he became the head coach at Purdue University? !

Is the big dog just making it up, or is it true?

If it is true, then this news is shocking!

This can explain why Richard is so cruel. Guess he became psychologically distorted after being bullied, and then he became cruel.

Maybe he also realized the principle of fighting violence with violence.

This news is so exciting, it will definitely be the headline news tomorrow.

Even reporters have even thought of headlines for news headlines...

"The Unbearable Past of Devil Bishop Richard"

"The Years Richard Was Bullied"

"What makes Richard the cruel character he is today"

…

Early the next morning, Clark broke into Richard's office, holding that day's morning newspaper in his hand.

"Huh? Clark, are you taking a breathalyzer test so early today?" Richard asked with a smile.

Clark has performed well recently.

I have always attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and I come to the arena at 10 a.m. every day to take an alcohol test.

The test result was naturally that I didn’t drink alcohol...

According to Richard's plan, Clark will be almost ready for use by January.

Of course, the premise is that Clark can continue such good performance.

It was just eight o'clock in the morning. Since today was a training day, Richard came to the office early.

"Well, coach, I'll come here early and train for a while."

"Look at today's newspapers, Glenn Robinson is really damned!"

Clark handed the newspaper to Richard and stood aside with an angry look on his face.

Although Richard had embarrassed him severely before and treated him quite harshly, Clark couldn't hate Richard at all.

He knew very well that all Richard's actions were for his own good.

If it wasn't for his own good, then Richard could have revealed his drinking during the halftime break, which would have completely freed Richard of his trouble!

But now Richard did not do this, but kept urging Clark to stop drinking.

At Clark's age, he can still tell right from wrong.

He could feel that Richard really wanted to help him...

This is why as soon as he saw the news in the morning paper, he immediately came to Richard's office angrily.

…

Richard glanced at the newspaper and was dumbfounded.

Is this big dog crazy? !

When I was in the Trail Blazers, the big dog looked like a dog-licker. Now, is he drifting away? Do you think Richard can't hold the knife anymore?

What the hell did this guy talk about at the press conference?

Richard had received the complete memories of his predecessor, and there was no such nonsense in his memory as the big dog said.

Do NCAA players dare to bully coaches? Even if he is just a teaching assistant, that is an act seeking death.

That's not the NBA...

In the NBA, it is common for a star player not to mention bullying an assistant coach, but also to mess with the head coach.

But in the NCAA, this kind of thing is quite rare.

The key point is that what the big dog said is true, and the reporters don't think it's a big deal and add fuel to the fire as much as possible, so that many people now believe it to be true.

This makes Richard quite embarrassed...

How can a man lose face when he comes out to fool around!

"Interesting, really interesting..." Richard sneered.

This sneer made Clark's back goosebumps.

Richard's sneer was quite scary, like the cruel smile of an executioner before execution. Anyway, most people would feel quite uncomfortable after seeing it.

Even a man with a strong heart like Kobe shuddered when he saw Richard's sneer, let alone Clark.

"Coach, why don't you let me play in the next game? I will definitely take care of that guy!"

"You don't know, when I was in the Bucks, that guy kept bullying me!"

"He has a lot of resentment towards you, but he doesn't dare to vent to you. He can only vent to me because he feels that I am a player you like..."

Clark bitterly told Richard about his experience in the Bucks.

Richard must be very aware of the fact that Big Gouzi has resentment against him...

But he knew clearly that he didn't expect Big Gouzi to dare to humiliate him publicly. This guy really didn't know how to write the word "death".

I really forgot about the fear of being dominated by the pioneers...

Does this guy think that without the Trail Blazers, he has become a toothless tiger?

Thinking of this, Richard couldn't help but sneer.

Tonight he will let the big dog experience the excitement of riding a roller coaster...

"Clark, continue your AA well, don't expect me to let you play in three months!"

"In these three months, if you can behave well, what I said before will still be valid!"

"If you don't perform well, you know what will happen..."

"Now go train hard! Work hard on your positioning and confrontation abilities. You will be needed to contribute to the team in these two aspects next season!"

Richard waved his hand, not giving Clark a chance to play early.

He's just a big dog. If you want to punish this guy, there aren't many ways.

"Go and show this newspaper to Lagabert, he will know how to do it." Richard handed the newspaper to Clark.

…

Give the big dog some color and make him be more honest. Richard has no intention of playing with him now.

As for Ricky Davis, who jumped out at this time, Richard is not interested at all.

Why should I pay attention to a useless person who is destined to be destroyed...

What Richard is most concerned about now is what kind of news Yao Ming can feedback.

The current lineup of the Pistons basically revolves around Yao Ming, and many of the props in Richard's hands are always prepared for Yao Ming.

Richard knows very well that only after Yao Ming joins, his Detroit Pistons will truly take shape.

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, to Richard's surprise, Yao Ming called back...

"Coach Li..." Yao Ming's tone was a little low.

This is not good news for Richard...

"What's wrong, young man, did the Shanghai team put forward very stringent requirements for leaving the team?" Richard deliberately relaxed his tone so as not to create pressure on Yao Ming.

"Well, it's quite demanding, Coach Li. I feel like I might not be able to go to the NBA!" Yao Ming's tone sounded quite disappointed.

It is impossible not to be disappointed. Entering the NBA has always been his dream.

But the conditions put forward by the Shanghai team seemed to Yao Ming to be a real big deal. He didn't even know what to say to Richard.

Because if he said anything, he would definitely scare Richard away.

No team can agree to the conditions proposed by the Shanghai team!

Seeing the deep disappointment in Yao Ming's tone, Richard felt that the situation was a bit serious.

"Tell me about it, young man, maybe our Pistons can meet the conditions proposed by the Shanghai team!" Richard said patiently to Yao Ming.

"Okay, Coach Li, after I finish talking, I guess you will be as desperate as me!" Yao Ming sighed.

Listening to Yao Ming's intermittent narration, Richard felt chilled in his heart.

The Shanghai team is really lawless!

The first condition is that the team Yao Ming plays for must provide a player with the same level of strength as Yao Ming.

This first condition almost made Richard vomit blood, but the Shanghai team made a lot of plans...

Provide a player with the same level of strength as Yao Ming. If every team has such a player, what do you want Yao Ming for? Because Yao Ming is good-looking...

Anyway, Richard couldn't complain about this condition. What kind of talent could he come up with such a condition?

Secondly, Richard also knows very well that under normal circumstances, the conditions offered by the Shanghai team really include this one!

Do you really think the Shanghai team just wants money? Too stupid and naive, they want more than just money.

…

Seeing Richard speechless, Yao Ming also felt a little embarrassed...

In his opinion, the condition proposed by the Shanghai team is also somewhat inexplicable.

He’s a fucking player on the same level as me. He’s so full that he’s coming here to make you angry. Why don’t you use that player...

What kind of boss is this? He just came up with this condition in his head!

…

"What else..." Richard continued to ask patiently.

Richard now wanted to curse, but in order to create a perfect impression in front of Yao Ming, Richard restrained his anger.

In fact, even if Yao Ming didn't say anything, Richard would have guessed the Shanghai team's conditions...

It is estimated that it will be similar to normal circumstances. It is overwhelming, which means that one of the conditions for Yao Ming to help them win the championship has been eliminated.

…

The second condition left Richard speechless.

Let the team that Yao Ming plays for provide a high-level foreign coach...

This made Richard wonder if he had met a fool.

Not just players, but also a coach for the team? ! What a crazy idea this is...

Why don't I just provide you with another boss?

And if a high-level foreign teacher is provided, how should this be done? Even someone like Richard, who has seen a lot of people in the world, can't think of it for a while.

Sign an assistant coach here in the United States and then send him to the Shanghai team?

What is this? Is it considered a supporting education...

Would a truly high-level coach be willing to leave his hometown to coach in China? Isn't it possible to find a job in the NBA?

Those who are willing to leave their hometown are probably not high-level...

So this condition, in Richard's opinion, is completely self-deception.

There are so many high-level coaches who are willing to teach in a league of this level. That would be a complete waste of their careers.

…

Like the first condition, under normal circumstances, this is the condition proposed by the Shanghai team.

Anyway, Richard couldn't figure out what these managements were thinking.

…

On the third condition, Yao Ming hesitated and was too embarrassed to speak.

Because it's so shameful...

The Shanghai team wants the team where Yao Ming plays to help them build an arena!

Note, it can’t be an ordinary arena, it has to be a modern arena...

Even if the specifications are not as good as NBA arenas, they can't be too different.

…

This condition was actually proposed by the Shanghai team at the beginning.

Once the three conditions came out, the bosses of the league's teams were really dumbfounded...

Is this treating Yao Ming as the inside version of Jordan?

Even for Jordan, the condition for joining cannot be to build an arena!

Good guy, all we need is a player, a coach, an arena, and a boss...

This is completely treating Yao Ming as a cash cow!

No wonder Yao Ming felt a little embarrassed to speak, because in his opinion, these conditions were really a bit...

To put it bluntly, he takes Yao Ming too seriously.

Yao Ming is good, but not so good as to be exaggerated. Which team would pay so much for a player? Is this player the boss’s biological father?

The biological father who was kidnapped by your Shanghai team...

In the history of the NBA, has any draft ever cost so much? In the draft that just ended, Pau Gasol's buyout fee of over two million US dollars was actually an NBA historical record.

Good guy, how many two million dollars does Yao Ming get here?

Just for a high-level coach who is willing to leave his hometown and come to China, his annual salary is estimated to be not far from two million.

Looking at the situation of the Shanghai team, it’s impossible to just use it for one year!

What about the player who is as good as Yao Ming? Good guy, based on the Shanghai team's estimate of Yao Ming's strength, it is estimated that the league's top centers like O'Neal and O'Neal will have to be replaced by Yao Ming...

As for building a modern arena, this is even more exaggerated!

Taken together, it can’t be done for even 100 million US dollars...

"Ahem, are there any other conditions?" Richard asked speechlessly.

"There is another one, they want a buyout fee of 18 million US dollars!" Yao Ming finally broke the pot and directly told Richard the last condition.

This makes Richard roll his eyes again...

It's really lawless.

…

No wonder Yao Ming was hesitant and embarrassed to speak. This was so desperate.

Richard realized that it might not be that easy to resolve this matter...

"Don't worry, young man, there is a road to the mountain. There is still more than half a year before the draft. Let's think of a way together. There is still a chance to overcome the difficulties!" Richard sighed and said.

Yao Ming was startled. He originally thought that Richard would immediately back down after hearing these conditions...

Because in Yao Ming's opinion, these conditions are just said to make people disgusting. Who can do it?

There is no need to pay such a price to bring in peak Jordan!

But now Richard patiently comforted him, told him not to worry, and said that he would work with him to find a solution.

This really moved Yao Ming...

As Dazhi said, no one is perfect. This saying does not apply to Richard. Richard is really a perfect person.

The biggest shortcoming of Richard is that he has no shortcomings...

I have to say that Dazhi's level of praise is a bit extraordinary.

…

"Well, coach, I don't have any ideas right now. Please help me think of a way."

The sound of "coach" made Richard feel happy.

I was called Coach Li before, but now I am called Coach. The meaning is self-evident...

"Don't worry, I'll think of a solution for this matter in the near future. I'll contact the Basketball Association first and try to get them to nod first." Richard said with a smile.

"Well, thank you coach, I look forward to the day when I can play in the NBA with coach!" Yao Ming said with a smile.

"There will be a day." Richard nodded and said.

…

After hanging up the phone with Yao Ming, Richard began to make plans in his mind.

As he said, it is best to let the Basketball Association nod first. In this way, the Shanghai team may lower the asking price if the Basketball Association comes forward.

But now, Richard actually doesn't have much contact with the Basketball Association.

That is to say, Dazhi had told himself before that the Basketball Association was going to invite him to coach the Chinese men's basketball team in the Sydney Olympics, but he was rejected by Richard.

Now Richard feels that he needs to take the initiative to talk to the Basketball Association...
