Bishop of the Devil

The school team reached the Sweet Sixteen, which attracted strong attention from school leaders.

As Richard had guessed before, the school leaders actually regarded Richard as a transition. They had been contacting well-known coaches and were ready to replace Richard at any time to get the team back on track!

But judging from the current situation, there is no need for this at all. These school leaders are not fools. They know very well that it is impossible for any coach to bring the poor lineup into the Sweet Sixteen. !

Richard's coaching contract is only one hundred thousand dollars a year, and it will expire at the end of this season.

Gooden, the school's vice president in charge of physical education, immediately found Richard...

The meaning is very clear, that is to give Richard a four-year contract with an annual salary of 800,000!

Based on Richard's resume, such a contract is actually quite generous, but Richard politely rejected the contract!

The NBA is Richard's goal. He cannot be bound by a four-year contract!

Of course, if Richard does not find a satisfactory position in the NBA after this season, he may sign a one-year short-term contract extension with Purdue University.

Gooden must be extremely disappointed, but he can't force Richard to sign this kind of thing. He can only ask Richard to think about it carefully...

…

After reaching the Sweet Sixteen, their next opponents were not really strong. They narrowly defeated their opponents in the first two rounds and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen with good luck!

Sometimes, luck is indeed extremely important in NCAA competitions!

But in the face of absolutely crushing strength, luck seems to be insignificant...

Although the opponent's hit rate was good and he hit a few magic balls, in the end, he still couldn't escape defeat in front of the West Lafayette gang!

Elite Eight!

Tied last season’s record!

After reaching the quarterfinals, the team led by Richard set off a wave of craze across the United States!

"To be honest, I definitely hope that my alma mater, UCLA, can win the championship, but I watched two West Lafayette Gang games, and I have to be honest, they are better than UCLA in terms of strength and player maturity. powerful……"

"I feel that UCLA has a high chance of losing..."

"Hey, I hope God can bless my alma mater, UCLA..."

After the Pacers game, their star player Reggie Miller gave the above answer when asked by reporters who he was more optimistic about winning the NCAA championship.

Just like the status of Greencap and the Lakers in the league, UCLA is also a giant in the NCAA league...

The full name is UCLA, and the team name is the Bruins. The entire team has a brilliant history, with 10 championships in 12 years, including seven consecutive championships. This is definitely a super record that will never be followed again!

In addition to the glorious championship record in team history, UCLA has also provided countless superstars to the NBA!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Marquis Johnson, Reggie Miller, Bill Walton, and later Westbrook, Guofu, Ariza and others all came from this school.

This season, UCLA, as the top seed team in the Western Conference, is also the favorite to win the championship, but their alumnus Miller is obviously not very optimistic about UCLA...

As a top star in the NBA, Reggie Miller obviously has a very vicious vision. He knows very well that although UCLA is currently in a good situation, if it encounters the West Lafayette gang, it is likely to end badly!

As soon as Reggie Miller said this, it immediately caused an uproar in the American basketball circle!

UCLA alumni are not optimistic about UCLA winning the championship? ! Their head coach Jim Harrick was simply not happy...

"Reggie, let's think about how to get past Jordan first. You don't need to care about the NCAA competition!"

"I don't think there's anything great about those newbies. We have three strong seniors on the team. They will definitely teach those newbies a lesson they will never forget!"

"They pose no threat to us at all. The quarterfinals may be the end of their season!"

"UCLA must win!"

…

The quarterfinals of the Purdue University Boilermakers were about to begin. Richard took Ben and Iverson to attend the pre-match press conference held by the organizing committee.

"Coach Richard, the whole country has been talking about the verbal spat between Coach Jim and Reggie Miller recently. What do you think of this?" the reporter asked Richard.

"Oh? Is that Coach Jim who said he wanted to teach us an unforgettable lesson?" Richard smiled playfully, tapping his fingertips on the table in front of him out of habit.

The reporter nodded.

Richard suddenly laughed loudly: "Hey, what Reggie said was actually wrong..."

The reporters were stunned. Reggie said that you have a good chance of winning UCLA. Is this wrong? !

Is it possible that Richard wants to carry forward his gentlemanly demeanor and praise UCLA, the holy land of basketball?

But what Richard said next made the reporters roll their eyes. The nickname of the West Lafayette gang was indeed very appropriate.

“For us to win against UCLA, it’s not just a small chance, it’s a sure win!”

"To be honest, since their meritorious assistant coach Wooden retired, their reputation as the Holy Land of Basketball at UCLA is no longer worthy of its reputation..."

"How can they beat us?! With three seniors on their team who can't even make it to the NBA?"

"Haha, this is probably the funniest joke I've heard this season..."

Richard grinned and laughed loudly, and Ben and Iverson on the side also looked sneer.

"Coach Jim is probably a layman in basketball. He probably thinks that age is the key factor that determines the outcome of the game. I regret to tell this layman that strength is!" Ben said to the microphone in front of him with disdain...

"I will score 40 points in the finals against UCLA!"

"Of course, that's assuming that garbage team can make it to the finals!"

Iverson also said this with a cold expression...

The reporters in the audience all rolled their eyes. Good guys, I don’t blame the fans for giving them the nickname of the West Lafayette Gangster. Look at this attitude, it is even more gangster than a gangster...

As the two most popular teams to win the championship this season, they started bickering in advance before they even met in the game, and it was not just any ordinary bickering, it was as intense as calling each other's motherfuckers...

The fans are naturally happy to hear it, and they can't wait for the storm to come more violently!

The next game is the finals of the four major divisions, and the winner will enter the final four!

For this crucial game, the entire Boilermakers team is extremely relaxed...

Because they have a reason to relax.

The opponent is the University of Wisconsin led by a poor version of Jordan Finley!

It has to be said that Finley's performance this season has been perfect. He single-handedly led wild card Wisconsin to the conference finals. His performance is extremely exciting!

But his explosive performance must have come to an abrupt end because he met his old enemy in the same league, the Boilermakers...
