Bishop of the Devil

After Richard led his team to win the championship, Larry Brown extended an olive branch as soon as possible...

However, Richard angrily refused Larry Brown's invitation!

In addition to Larry Brown, several teams in the NBA have contacted Richard, but all of them asked Richard to be an assistant coach...

Naturally, Richard refused these invitations without saying a word!

Are you kidding me? As long as Richard is willing, he can even win ten consecutive championships in the NCAA. Will he be willing to be an assistant coach in the NBA? !

Obviously it’s impossible!

Seeing that there was no hope of directly entering the NBA as a head coach, Richard directly signed a one-year contract with the school with an annual salary of US$800,000!

Although the contract period is short, Vice Principal Guden also breathed a sigh of relief...

Richard never signed a contract, so he was always worried. What if Richard didn't renew his contract with Purdue and went to coach at another school? !

What if Richard's Boilermakers don't even reach the quarterfinals next season? !

Then he, the vice principal in charge of physical education, would probably have a very hard time...

And now that Richard has been signed, no matter what results Richard leads the team next season, no matter how bad it is, Richard will still be blamed...

…

Richard was actually a little disappointed that he didn't get the chance to enter the NBA!

But this disappointment was only fleeting, because he knew that he would create even bigger surprises in the upcoming season!

…

Operation Dragon Ball officially begins!

The first target was naturally Billups. Philip Sr. had a phone call with Billups and his family, and the other party verbally promised to join Purdue University.

However, Richard is really worried about old Philip's ability to recruit new people...

Simply take Little Brownie to meet the Billups family in person and finalize the matter face to face!

After meeting Billups, Richard realized what a wise choice it was to meet in person...

Top schools such as Kentucky, UCLA, Duke, and North Carolina have all contacted Billups recently. Even though Billups has a history of injuries and did not participate in the Golden Arches All-Star Game, these top schools are obviously not interested. Don’t let go if you kill the wrong person...

In the end, Richard, the champion coach, came to the door in person and gave Billups a promise that he couldn't refuse!

In his freshman season, Billups will be given the opportunity to start in at least ten games, and it will be the kind of starting opportunity that as long as he has the physical fitness, he can play the entire game!

And these ten games include at least one national championship!

Such a promise, whether it is UCLA or several other prestigious schools, is absolutely impossible to make. Generally speaking, even the top high school students in the United States will spend most of their freshman season as a substitute.

One can imagine Billups' decision. He couldn't wait to sign a contract with Richard...

…

Billups, one of the Dragon Balls, was basically won by Richard, and the terms of the promise were not too difficult in Richard's opinion.

In the league championship and subsequent national championships, the Boilermakers will play about 35 games. At worst, Iverson will be allowed to rest for ten games and Billups will be given a starting position for ten games.

…

After capturing Billups, Richard immediately rushed to the next destination non-stop!

South Carolina, Garnett’s hometown!

Richard naturally had his own considerations in choosing Garnett as his second target.

First of all, Garnett is strong. In this Dragon Ball, Garnett's strength and future achievements are relatively prominent!

Secondly, Garnett did not go to college and participated in the draft directly as a high school student. In half a month, players who want to participate in the draft have to start submitting applications to the league...

Richard was afraid that Garnett would have already submitted his draft application before he could rush to find him, which would be a bit painful.

Thirdly, South Carolina is not far from Indiana. If you drive, you can get there in five or six hours...

But after arriving in South Carolina, Richard was almost scolded in anger!

It's not that he was rejected by Garnett. In fact, Richard didn't have much hope for Garnett...

Now Garnett, in terms of popularity, is much better than Billups. Richard estimates that the top schools will definitely make a commitment to directly let Garnett start in the starting lineup. Even so, Garnett still has no hesitation. Went to participate in the talent show...

Richard just wanted to give it a try, what if it worked?

But in the end, Richard didn't even see Garnett's face, only Garnett's stepfather...

Like Iverson, Garnett didn't have a deep impression of his father. His mother later remarried, and Garnett lived with his mother and stepfather...

Without saying a word, his stepfather rejected Richard's request to meet with Garnett...

Richard can naturally guess the reason. If Garnett enters the NBA, he can directly make a lot of money, but if he goes to college to play, who knows what will happen in the future...

Putting aside the period of playing in college, Garnett had no money to make. If he suffered a serious injury during college, he might not even have a chance to enter the NBA in the future...

It's better to go to the draft now and get a guaranteed rookie contract worth millions!

…

In this way, Richard left South Carolina empty-handed, without even being able to meet the iron-blooded wolf king in the future!

The second Dragon Ball is completely gone...

But Richard is not discouraged. He is not confident enough to collect all the Dragon Balls. Although he cannot get Garnett, there are still five Dragon Balls left...

Richard's third dragon ball is located in Florida...

Demi-god!

Vince Carter!

"Vince, if you watched our game last season, it should be clear that we need a qualified forward and defender swingman, especially when Barry leaves the team. I think if you are willing to join us at Purdue, I I can promise you a starting shooting guard or starting small forward position!"

It didn't take much trouble to meet Carter. Carter's family belongs to the middle class in the United States, so his mother is not in a hurry to let Carter enter the NBA...

Of course, in fact, Carter also reorganized his family. His biological father abandoned his mother and three other children including Carter. However, Carter was luckier than Iverson or Garnett. His stepfather was a teacher with a stable job...

Richard said his thoughts straight to the point...

"Coach Li, I'm glad to meet you. You guys played a perfect season last season! To be honest, if I hadn't already agreed to join North Carolina, I would definitely have listed Purdue as my first choice..." Vince Carter said politely.

It can also be seen from this that Carter received a pretty good education since he was a child.

When Richard heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. North Carolina was the first to get there!

"North Carolina? Vince, why did you come up with the idea of ​​going to North Carolina? You know they haven't had any decent record in several years..."

"Because of Jordan!" Carter's answer was firm.

…

After leaving Carter's house, Richard was still a little depressed. The reason Carter gave for joining North Carolina left Richard speechless...

Because North Carolina is Jordan's alma mater...

Because North Carolina produced Jordan!

What else could Richard say, he could only start the rest of the journey.

I have searched for three Dragon Balls, but only got one of them, which is Billups...

Next, there are still Truth Pierce, Political Commissar Ma, Jamison and Raheem, whom Richard had made plans before!

With the departure of Brent Barry and the graduation of Green, the original small forward on the team, the Boilermakers' small forward and shooting guard positions are now extremely vacant, and it can even be said that there is no one available!

Among the remaining four, Pierce can play the 2/3 position and can be said to be the best piece of the lineup.

Jamison plays a combo forward at the 3/4 position, which is also a very good choice for the team!

As for Political Commissar Ma, who mainly plays the No. 1 position, and Rahim, who mainly plays the No. 4 position, Richard certainly wants it, but it is not necessary. If you are willing to come, you are naturally welcome. If you don't want to, Richard will not force it. …
