The two boys chatted with Richard in the office for nearly an hour, and then played "NBALIVE04" with Richard......

Durant was dumbfounded, this is the madman Richard nicknamed the Great Demon King?

This guy is actually in his office, playing games every day?

Shouldn't it be that you lock yourself in your office every day, turn off the lights, and then close your eyes and think about how to hurt people......

Playing until the evening, Richard took the two boys to the training ground and beckoned the players to have something to eat and prepare for the evening game.

If these two boys are NCAA players, then they are in contact with Richard like this, I'm afraid if Stern's side knows, regardless of your cousin relationship, Richard will be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars first.

But at the moment, both of them are high school students, and Stern is completely fine......

Although Paul and others are professional players, they are not much older than Beasley and Durant.

Coupled with Beasley's status as Richard's cousin, the two boys quickly mingled with the pirate players.

Milicic stood on the sidelines, as if to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Beasley and Durant, looking at Milicic were stunned, Milicic almost hammered others to death......

……

At noon the next day, Richard called little Brownie again.

Now that Philip Sr. has retired, all the work on the Purdue team has fallen to Bronny Jr.

Because the profitability of Purdue boiler workers is too strong now, Brownie Jr.'s current salary is as high as six million dollars.

Moreover, the coaching staff has also hired a lot of veteran coaches with high salaries......

Purdue is willing to give little Bronny such a high salary, which is naturally for Richard's sake.

They know very well that as long as Bronny Jr. is in power, then Richard will definitely not ignore Purdue, so the salary of six million is still quite worthwhile.

Richard told Bronny Jr. that Durant was going to attend Purdue University, and told him to recruit Durant when Black March was over.

As for Beasley, he'll have to wait another year before he can go to college.

Although he is only three or four months younger than Durant, Durant is '88, and Beasley was born on January 9, '89......

Beasley can't run anyway, and he will definitely join Purdue when the time comes.

The NCAA season has begun, and they now start with Aldridge, Rudy Gay, Rondo, Danny Green and Brewer.

Compared with last season, when Al Jefferson was there, the strength has not declined, and has even improved.

After all, Aldridge and the other four second-year students must have improved a lot in strength compared to the first-year students.

If nothing else, this year's NCAA championship is certainly in Purdue's bag again.

And when this year's Black March is over, although Purdue University will have many people participating in the draft, it is not difficult to recruit a few outstanding high school players with the addition of Durant to ensure the signing of the championship.

At least the Lopez brothers have publicly expressed their interest in Purdue.

If the NCAA continues to win the NCAA championship next season, it is not a big problem.

……

In the blink of an eye, the NBA's regular season schedule has entered mid-January.

To Richard's sense of accomplishment, Milicic won the Player of the Month award for December.

The Buccaneers played a total of 15 games in December, and the schedule was really easy, and the strongest of those 15 games was the New Jersey Nets......

An 11-4 record, combined with a good record before December, has put the Pirates in the top three in the East.

At present, the Heat, who are second in the East, are only one win away.

It's mid-January, and All-Star Weekend is still a month away.

With this month's time, the Pirates may not have a chance to catch up with the Heat.

In fact, Richard didn't really want to play too well this season.

It's mostly about draft picks.

If the Pirates end up playing at the top of the league, their final first-round pick will certainly be quite at the bottom of the list.

And in the '06 draft, the bottom spot in the first round didn't allow Richard to get the player he wanted.

It could have been used to get Millsap, but it made Richard feel like a bit wasteful.

Millsap was selected with the 47th pick, and with a first-round pick, Richard must have been a little reluctant.

In the middle and late stages of the first round, there were two players that Richard wanted, one was Rondo and the other was Lowry.

Among them, Rondo is the 21st pick, and the small steel cannon is the 24th pick.

Richard's goal is Rondo, and of course, Rondo may rise in the draft because of his gold plate at Purdue.

If it really rises to the point that Richard can't accept, then he will have to settle for the next best thing and choose Lowry.

……

Richard is now preparing to keep the top four spots in the East before the All-Star Weekend, wait until the All-Star Weekend, and develop as many new talents as possible, so that the team's record can slip to an acceptable point, and then get a 20th pick or higher.

That way, he will have a chance to get Rondo......

And the new talent that is cultivated can be used as a bargaining chip before the draft begins, and trade with those teams with high draft picks.

In this way, Richard may get another high-pick rookie in the case of Rondo and Millsap.

It could be Guy, or it could be Roy.

Either way, Richard could laugh out loud.

After these three joined the pirate team, coupled with the gradual maturity of the new melon eggs, Richard had a lot of confidence in winning the championship.

……

The Buccaneers struggled to play a tough stretch from mid-January to mid-February, mainly because the average strength of their opponents was too strong, which led to their record not surpassing the Heat, and finally staying in the third place in the East.

But even that was enough to get the Buccaneers fans excited.

Keep in mind that last season's Buccaneers had just 11 wins in total.

Finishing in the top three in the East this season, with such a huge improvement, what else can fans not be satisfied with.

Everyone knows the truth that you can't become fat by eating one bite, as long as you can see the progress of the team, the home team fans will be satisfied.

If nothing else, this year's Best Coach honor must be in Richard's bag again.

This huge increase in performance is quite helpful for getting COY honors.

Sometimes, even a team's sixth- and seventh-place finish in the division is enough for their coach to earn a COY.

……

Just days before the All-Star Weekend began, Pistons head coach Philip Sanders announced that he would miss this year's All-Star Weekend for personal reasons.

His qualification to lead the team was handed over to Richard, the head coach of the Pirates who had the third-best record in the East.

After the news was made public, not many people paid attention to it.

The main thing is that this kind of thing has happened to Richard, and it's not the first time.

This has happened before......

At present, the top four coaches in the East are Sanders, Pat Riley, Richard and Nets head coach Frank.

Frank was a little distressed and missed such a good opportunity.

If the Nets can finish first in the East again this year, he will not hesitate to give this qualification to Richard.

Because the benefits are so obvious.

Amir Johnson has made up for their lack of interior defense, and if it weren't for Amir Johnson, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the Nets to get the fourth place in the East with the rise of the Pirates and Green Kai.

Richard's side is also relieved, and he has won the All-Star qualification again, and there is one more supergiant suit.

And by the way, you can also harvest a wave of props.
