Bishop of the Devil

February 17th, the last night of All-Star Weekend.

Richard led the Western Conference All-Stars to start the game.

This year's Eastern Conference record list is topped by the Charlotte Hornets. Jordan has changed many head coaches in the past two years. The Hornets are currently coached by Flip Saunders.

Sanders previously coached the Wizards and was fired soon after, and now he finally found a job with Jordan.

From this we can also see the importance of connections in the NBA. If you have connections, you won't have to worry about work even if your ability is low.

"Lee, I have a hunch that I may meet you on the finals stage for the first time this year!" Sanders said with a smile.

He was able to take the position of head coach of the Hornets. In fact, Richard also helped. Jordan asked Richard about the head coach candidate, and Richard recommended Sanders.

"Philip, your premonitions have never been very reliable. You had a premonition before that I would stay in Charlotte. Qualifying for this year's finals is not as easy as you thought." Richard said with a smile.

"By the way, old man, you have to do me a favor later and let us Western Conference All-Stars win as much as possible." Richard suddenly said in a low voice towards Sanders.

Sanders was startled, what kind of request was this?

Almost all the reputable people in the league know that Richard seems to have a perverted paranoia about the All-Star Weekend, but no one can say exactly why.

Logically speaking, this is something that is simply impossible to happen. The most successful head coach in history will care about the outcome of the All-Star Weekend, and he is not afraid of making people laugh when he says it.

"Lee, I really don't understand why you care so much about the All-Stars. It's not just me. I'm afraid the whole league can't understand why you value the All-Stars so much." Sanders asked with a frown.

Richard waved his hand, "What could be the reason? I just want to be in the limelight..."

Hearing Richard's unreliable answer, Sanders smiled bitterly. Now Richard still wants to stand out?

…

Because he was only one step away from putting together the super-giant suit, Richard shamelessly asked Sanders for help this time.

Sanders is definitely an old acquaintance of Richard. The two have been dealing with each other for more than ten years, so Richard is not embarrassed to speak.

"Okay, Lee, are you going to let the new guy on your team win the All-Star MVP this time?" Sanders asked again.

Richard shook his head. He really had no such plan. In fact, anyone could win the MVP, as long as he was a player whom Richard had coached.

…

At the referee's whistle, the All-Star Game officially begins.

Richard did not make any mistakes and let the normal five starters appear, and the same is true for Sanders.

In recent years, the All-Stars are no longer the All-Stars of the 1990s.

At that time, the All-Star game was full of competition. It could really be regarded as the main game. Both sides were all stars, and the game was in full swing, which was quite enjoyable.

But now this All-Star is completely joking. After a game, he is embarrassed to speak even if his score cannot reach 130.

The two sides started attacking each other from the beginning, and there was no such thing as defensive or not defensive...

There are four players from West Lafayette in the West, and the starting lineup in the East is Wade, Roy, Durant, James and Milicic. Three of them are players from West Lafayette. The fight was quite harmonious.

Under this low-intensity game rhythm, the center can actually play a limited role. The center itself guards the penalty area under the basket. Now both players are holding the ball and rushing toward the basket. Howard is not defending, nor is he not guarding. , simply made a gesture towards Richard, indicating that he was going to end...

Richard naturally complied with Howard's request and directly replaced Thompson on the court.

Sanders, who was on the sidelines after playing half of the first quarter, began to make frequent substitutions. He would replace whoever had a good touch. He was completely an undercover traitor to the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

Richard is full of excitement. The Western Conference currently maintains a good lead on the field. If it continues, after this game, he will be able to get the super suit he has dreamed of.

To be precise, this can no longer be described as a dream. He has been waiting for this super giant suit for more than ten years!

After entering the league in 1996, it is now 2013. It has taken seventeen years to put together a super giant suit in front of him. How can Richard not be excited?

…

The game passed minute by minute, and the fans at the scene were watching it with gusto. However, Richard's only concern now was the outcome of the game. How could he still have the time to watch the performances of the stars.

…

There is less than a minute left before the end of the game, and the Western Conference All-Stars lead by ten points. Basically, this game is a guaranteed win.

Richard's heart was so excited that he was about to jump out of his throat. He was as restless as an ant on a hot pot...

He is now afraid that a star will suddenly appear in the Eastern Conference, suddenly burst into flames and lead the Eastern Conference to victory. In that case, Richard will have to wait for another year.

One year is not necessarily enough, because Richard cannot guarantee that he will be able to lead the team to the All-Stars next year.

"Dududu!" The referee blew the whistle to end the game. What Richard was worried about did not happen, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The final score between the two sides was 145:138. The Western Conference All-Stars won the game. Naturally, this was due to the contribution of undercover Sanders. If not for Sanders’ desperate substitutions, it is estimated that this game would not have been easy for the Western Conference. Come down.

Richard asked for a copy of technical statistics from the technical desk and breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

Chris Paul scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists. Basically, he has not won the All-Star MVP.

Under normal circumstances, the MVP of this All-Star Game would be won by Paul.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, Xiao Hua walked out of the backcourt. Apparently, the results of the All-Star MVP selection were announced.

"I declare that the 2012-2013 All-Star MVP is Chris Paul."

Xiao Hua had just finished his announcement, and there was a round of applause.

And Richard also heard the system prompt in his mind. Richard had been waiting for this prompt for more than ten years!

"Congratulations to the host. The player he coached, Chris Paul, was awarded the All-Star MVP for the 2012-2013 season. The host was awarded a super giant suit and a super giant finger protector."

"It is detected that the host has collected the super giant suit. The system will automatically fuse the nine parts. Please wait a moment."

Richard's heart began to beat wildly. He finally gathered them all. He really didn't know what kind of attributes they were.

One thing Richard is extremely sure of is that the attributes of this super giant suit will definitely be very powerful. Otherwise, he would be sorry for his efforts over the past ten years!
