Chapter 3: Richard's List
As soon as the phone hung up, some information popped into Richard's mind.
"The Devil's Bishop system has been successfully bound!"
"The opening mission is now being released!"
"Objective: Detect that the host's team is in a rebuilding phase, and ask the host to assemble a team of at least three future NBA All-Stars before the start of the school year and win the first game of the season!"
"After the mission is successful, you will be rewarded with a golden opening package! The more AllStars, the bigger the rewards! ”
The binding of the system, as well as the release of the task, did not cause too much waves in Richard's heart, his receptivity was okay, and now what he was thinking about was not the reason why he crossed and was bound to the system, but how to complete this seemingly difficult task!
With at least three NBA All-Stars, this task is daunting!
Even a team like the giant North Carolina will find it difficult to get three All-Star level players in the same team!
On the contrary, it is not difficult to win the first game of the season later, after all, there are three All-Stars on hand, and there is no reason why you can't win the first game.
Richard frowned, this task was not too difficult for him to complete......
His solution to the team's current predicament is nothing more than relying on his ability to know the future and absorb more future NBA All-Stars, and now this plan coincides with the task released by the system.
"Brad Miller, who has been selected as an All-Star twice in the future, so now that the task is a third of the way through, how do you find the next two All-Stars?"
NBA All-Stars are not cabbages in the field, and if you want to recruit All-Star level players normally, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
So, if you want to get the job done, you have to find another way......
It's June, and there's just over two months left before the start of the new school year!
And in the past two months, Richard has to find two more All-Star level players, and the time is so short!
Thinking of this, Richard didn't dare to waste time, and directly called Philip to inform the coaching staff to have a meeting in the afternoon.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when Richard came to his coaching office, there were only two people inside.
One is Philip, a white man in his fifties who is currently Richard's chief assistant teacher.
said that he was the chief assistant coach, but in fact, there is only one assistant left on Richard's coaching staff at the moment, and he has to be the chief if he is not the chief......
As for the other assistant coaches, they all followed the previous head coach to find other careers!
The current Purdue University is a mess, and no one wants to stay and waste time, that is, the old Philip is originally a local, plus he is too old to toss around......
The other was a half-grown boy, and searching for memories Richard found out that it was the team's student player manager, Bronny.
This position is held by students in the school, and it is basically a job to play for the team, to be precise, not a member of the coaching staff.
Looking at this shabby lineup, Richard sighed......
"Philip, the players on this list, see how many you can find, Bronny, you can also look at ......" Richard took out two lists and put them in front of Philip and Bronny.
This list was made by Richard spending the whole morning searching for memories of his past life, and the names on it are all All-Star stars, and they are all NBA leagues that entered 95-98......
According to NCAA regulations, once a player participates in the draft, he will automatically leave college, and even if he loses in the draft, he cannot return to college to continue playing.
(In August '18, just last month, a new rule was introduced that NCAA players can now return to their alma mater to continue playing if they are not drafted.) )
No matter how big Richard's face is, it is unlikely that he will invite them back to play in the NCAA, and unless these 94 stars are high school students participating in the draft, they are all players from other NCAA teams, and even if they don't participate in the draft, they will definitely stay on the parent team, and there is no reason to come to Purdue University.
As for the players after '98, they must be too young, and even if they play the full four years of the NCAA draft before they participate in the draft, it is not enough to go to college now.
So in the end, Richard set the time span of this list between 95-98 years!
"Tim Duncan, native of the Virgin Islands, born 76 years, 211 cm tall, nicknamed the Flying Devil ......"
"Aaron Iverson, born 75 years, 183 cm tall......"
"Kobe Bryant, born in '78, 198 tall, his father is also a basketball player, Joe Bryant ......"
"Rasheed Wallace, with a loud voice, is probably close to seven feet tall......"
In this list, Richard searched for as much information as possible in his memory to make the players on this list more recognizable, otherwise, how could he find someone on the list just by name......
There are about thirty or forty players in total, and if Richard feels that his luck is not too bad, among these thirty or forty people, it seems that it is still feasible to find two or three players to join Purdue!
But the frowning brow of old Philip did not bode well for Richard.
From the time Philip Sr. saw the name of the first player, which was Duncan, his brow never stretched.
"Lee, this Tim Duncan should be the core player of the Vic Forest Devils Deacons, right?"
Richard nodded, and the impression of Duncan seemed to be on this team.
"He's been called a future draft pick by Jerry West, and if he knew you were going to play him, his head coach Odom would have driven you overnight!"
"Lee, I'm definitely not kidding, Dave Odom would definitely do that!"
Richard was stunned, took out a red pen, and directly crossed a red bar with Duncan on the list......
This means that Duncan is out of play......
"Let's go on, let's sift through them one by one!" Richard gestured to the frowning old Philip and continued......
"Coach, I see that many people on this list are not yet old enough to go to college, such as Kobe Bryant, although I don't know who this is, but he is only 16 years old now, and it is impossible for him to come to our school......" Bronny noticed the problem on the list, and then said to Richard.
Richard nodded, he was negligent in this matter......
Directly continue to use a red pen to erase the names of those players who are currently under the age of 18 in the list.
……
The reason for this list is that Richard is thinking of using the elimination method to see if he can screen out two or three players who can get his hands on it in the end!
And at the moment, he has not fully obtained the memory of this life, so he can only rely on old Philip to sift through it.
"And this Rashid Wallace, if I'm not mistaken, he should be the one from North Carolina, Jordan's little alumnus......"
Without saying a word, Richard crossed out the name of Tianzun from the list.
"Those who are already enrolled, help me find them all, and then cross them all out......" Richard sighed and made a helpless decision.
While it's not that NCAA players can't be transferred, these players are all top players on their respective teams at the moment, and there's no reason for them to transfer to the mired Purdue University.
How miserable is Purdue University right now? The core player draft is gone, the coaching staff is almost gone, and the players who are slightly pursuing are unlikely to transfer to Purdue unless it is a special case, which is extremely risky and suicidal.
……
Old Philip took the pen, clicked a lot, and then presented Richard with a list of only ten people......
"And what about the remaining ten? Can you get in touch? Richard's heart tightened!
The list of thirty or forty people, after some exclusion, only the last ten remain, and Richard dares to guarantee that the next ten will definitely continue to be excluded......
"Most of them can't be contacted, and I don't even know who these players are......" said Philip Sr. with a grimace on his face.
