Bishop of the Devil

After the game, Richard's family and Kobe's family had a wonderful dinner, and they had a great time, especially Libit and Natalya, who were very close together and kept whispering.

Kobe looks weird...

…

That night, Libitt's quadruple-double in today's game immediately made the news.

"Richard's eldest son scored a quadruple-double in the game, and his super star is already rising"

"Richard's eldest son and Kobe's eldest daughter cooperated tacitly in the game and led the team to victory"

Richard's son and Kobe's daughter are both naturally popular topics. As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless fans.

"God, what did Libit eat to grow up to be so tall? He is almost as tall as me..."

"Richard protected his three sons very well before. The outside world didn't know much about his sons. Now he's better and has become a blockbuster. If nothing else happens, this kind of physical fitness will definitely be a bug in the future. A level inside player.”

"Look forward to it. After more than ten years, we will know whether Libit can fulfill his talent."

Fans from all walks of life started talking about it.

Especially in China, the discussion about Libit is even more heated.

"I feel that Richard should let Libitt become a Chinese national. This is not unreasonable. After all, Richard is a person who has a strong sense of identity with the motherland. Let Libitt become a Chinese national, at least it can ensure that China There won’t be any gaps in the future of basketball.”

"What are you dreaming about? How is this possible? You go to school and play ball in the United States and go back to China with enough food and support? YY also has to have a certain attitude..."

"Why not? It's not like you can't go to school and play ball in the United States if you become a Chinese citizen."

…

If Richard knew that there were Chinese fans who wanted Libit to become a Chinese citizen, he probably wouldn't have expressed any opinion.

Libit is his own child, but he will not make any decisions about Libit's future. Libit must decide these things by himself.

If Libit really wanted to become a Chinese citizen when he grew up, Richard would not stop him. If he didn't want to become a Chinese citizen, Richard would not be able to put a knife on Libit's neck to force him.

From this point of view, Richard is a relatively enlightened parent and will not force his children to follow the route he has planned.

…

The Clippers' game proceeds step by step, and every now and then they can win a game if they encounter a weak team.

Griffin and Sun Yue, the team's top and second team leaders, have performed quite steadily. Although their records are terrible, their popularity is pretty good.

Richard feels that with Sun Yue's performance this year, it seems that it is not impossible to become an All-Star.

There are quite a few stars gathered in the Eastern Conference now. If the Western Conference enters the All-Stars, the competition will be slightly weaker.

Of course, if he wants to start, it will definitely be out of the question. Even if Sun Yue has the support of Chinese fans, there will definitely be no chance for him to start.

The Western Conference has Kobe and Paul in the backcourt. It would be tantamount to wishful thinking for Sun Yue to squeeze these two out of the starting lineup for the Western Conference All-Stars.

As for the backcourt substitute in the Western Conference, this is quite possible. Sun Yue is currently very popular, and there will definitely be no shortage of All-Star votes. If Richard Deto can arrange it for him, he will still have a good chance of being selected for the All-Stars. .

As for Griffin, this super power forward who emerged out of nowhere, even without Richard's help, he can easily qualify for the All-Stars, and he is still qualified for the starting lineup.

…

In the blink of an eye, 2010 passed and time entered 2011.

Richard sighed, it was already 16 years since he came to this world in the blink of an eye.

In these sixteen years, Richard has achieved countless achievements that others cannot achieve in a lifetime. He has achieved both career and family success. He is definitely one of the few people who stand at the top of the world.

…

Not long after the new year started, Richard received a banquet invitation from an acquaintance.

Magic Johnson.

When Richard acquired the Clippers, Magic expressed his desire to join the Clippers.

If he wants to join the Clippers, he naturally cannot join the coaching staff or become an assistant...

With his rank, his goal is definitely to be the president of basketball affairs, a position where one person is less than ten thousand people.

Richard did not agree to the magician's offer at first, but was polite to the magician and said that he would seriously consider it.

Now that the magician invites Richard's family to a banquet, it will definitely be a banquet. The magician will probably ask about it.

Richard really doesn’t know how to politely reject the magician...

So he didn't really want to attend the magician's banquet, but now that he was hanging out in Los Angeles, he couldn't keep in contact with the local gangsters in Los Angeles...

Besides, it’s really hard to refuse. The whole world knows that Richard has a lot of free time now. If he refuses the magician rashly, he will definitely lose face.

After much thought, Richard finally agreed to Magic. As for Magic joining the Clippers, Richard decided to wait and see what happened.

…

Richard and Tiana dressed up and went to the banquet held by the magician without taking the child.

"Lee, I thought you were too busy to come to the banquet. I didn't expect you to come. I'm so honored." Magic Johnson was so happy when he saw Richard coming.

As a landowner, he naturally had to entertain Richard well.

"Mr. Johnson, what can I do now? Everyone in the Clippers team is so idle and has nothing to do..." Richard said with a smile.

Magic Johnson was startled when he heard this. He seemed to hear something from Richard's words.

Everyone on the Clippers team is idle? Nothing to do? In this case, do they need to join the franchise themselves?

It seems that there is no need. What can I do if I go there? It is midnight and noon at this time, there is no trade to be carried out, and there is no draft to be carried out...

Seeing the strange look on Magic Johnson's face, Richard breathed a sigh of relief and said it first. The provincial magician had always held out hope.

From beginning to end, Richard never thought about letting Magic join the Clippers...

The first reason is that the magician is expensive. Considering his status, he does not have a salary of seven to eight million US dollars, so he is really embarrassed to say anything.

No one's money comes from the flood. The seven or eight million US dollars is enough for Richard to sign two high-quality new players.

The second reason is that in Richard's view, Magic is actually not suitable to be a team executive...

Under normal circumstances, Magic would have served as an executive for the Lakers for a period of time in the future, but he ended up making the Lakers a mess and not even making the playoffs.

With such an ability, even if the magician offered Richard money, Richard would probably not be willing...

The third reason, and the most important reason, is that if Magic joins the Clippers, he will definitely need some say and the right to make decisions on certain matters.

This is obviously a scene that Richard is not happy to see. He needs the Clippers to be completely under his control...

…

Combining these three reasons, it is naturally impossible for Richard to invite Magic to join the Clippers.

"Well, you have rarely had leisure in the past ten years or so. Now just enjoy this night..." The magician didn't seem to take it too seriously and smiled at Richard.

"By the way, this is my son EJ. He is your loyal fan." After saying this, the magician flashed away and a young boy walked out behind him.

Of course it’s EJ Johnson…

However, EJ Johnson has not yet come out as gay and seems to be quite normal. Although his words and deeds are somewhat feminine, the demeanor that he later had is generally not visible.

EJ Johnson looked at Richard with bright eyes, his face full of excitement.

"God, Coach Richard, I'm your biggest fan!" After saying that, EJ Jiang swooped up and gave Richard a bear hug.

Richard patted EJ Jiang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What an enthusiastic young man."

Before becoming a father, Richard actually laughed at Johnson for giving birth to such a son, or should I say daughter?

However, after becoming a father, Richard's thoughts have changed a lot. Johnson must be quite helpless about this matter. What can he do as a father? You can only support your own children...

Most parents probably only want their children to be happy and have adequate food and clothing throughout their lives.

Obviously, EJ-chan must have enough food and clothing. With a father like Magician, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing no matter what.

Maybe the only thing the magician wants now is his own child, so that he can live a happy life in the future.

To be honest, EJ Jiang is not a special case. There are not many children of football stars who have come out as gay. Jordan's daughter and Wade's youngest son have also come out as gay...

Richard thought for a while, if one of his three sons embarked on this path in the future, what would he do then?

Well, maybe I'll beat him to death directly...

…

There were many celebrities from Los Angeles at the banquet, including some Hollywood stars.

Johnson's network in Los Angeles is quite broad, and there are many big-name figures in the cultural and sports circles.

Richard didn't have much interest in these people. When greeted by others, he just nodded and smiled.

Little EJ has been hanging around Richard, not sure what his intentions are...

Tiana kept holding Richard's arm tightly and looked around cautiously. There were indeed many Hollywood A-list actresses at tonight's banquet.

Scarlett Johansson, who had teased Richard before, was at the scene.

Of course Tiana is not worried about Richard doing anything to feel sorry for him, she knows that Richard is not that kind of person.

"Hey, isn't this Richard, the most successful head coach in the league?"

"Instead of studying how to let the Clippers win two more games, they actually have time to come to the party."

A somewhat harsh sound appeared in Richard's ears.

Richard sighed, is this the time to meet the big villain?
