Bishop of the Devil

On this all-star trip, Richard was still quite relaxed, with five players selected for the All-Star game. If AMVP is no longer available, then Richard Head simply doesn't do it.

In the end, this All-Star MVP was taken by Roy, and Richard got the seventh part of the super giant suit!

The annual All-Star, Richard is quite looking forward to, after all, he has collected this super huge suit for more than ten years.

One thing has been collected for more than ten years, and one can imagine how much Richard looks forward to the day when the collection is successful.

Fortunately, most of them have been collected, and only the last two pieces are left.

...

After the All-Star, Richard also began to worry about the qualification for the All-Star team next year.

Richard naturally thinks that he can get the super giant suit as soon as possible, then he needs him to get more all-star qualifications.

If there are no surprises next year, the top four teams on the Eastern side must still be the current four, the Pirates, Green Kai, Pistons and Magic.

Green Kai's head coach Rivers doesn't know if he will be given to himself if he gets the qualification to lead the team next year.

Last season Rivers didn't give up, so Richard's plan to put together a giant suit was delayed by one year.

The Pistons are now coaching, and Sanders was fired and replaced by Michael Curry.

This head coach, Richard has no friendship with him, and he doesn't know whether he will give it to himself after he gets the qualification to lead the team.

As for magic, Van Gundy should not let, Richard has such a hunch.

Just when Richard was worried about the All-Star next season, he received a call from Dumas, the general manager of the Pistons.

Old Davidson passed away last night...

After receiving this news, Richard's head banged, and it was time to come.

Old Davidson's year-end friendship, in the end, still can not escape the devastation caused by years.

"Rahim, you have been acting as the head coach for the past few days. I have to go to Detroit." Richard greeted Rahim and asked him to serve as the head coach temporarily.

Rahim naturally knew the news of the death of old Davidson and nodded.

...

On the plane to Detroit, Richard wrote a eulogy, which is why Dumas called Richard.

According to the old Davidson's intention before his death, he will invite Richard to commemorate the mourning at the memorial meeting held at the Auburn Hills Palace Stadium.

After arriving in Detroit, Richard went straight to Old Davidson's manor on the outskirts of the city.

Dumas, Yao Ming and other Pistons were all in the manor with a sad look on their faces.

After seeing Richard come, everyone sighed.

"My old man, let me see him for the last time." Richard's eyes were red.

Although he has only a three-year relationship with the Pistons, the relationship with the old Davidson has always been very good.

Old Davidson has always taken care of Richard, and Richard is also full of respect for this year-end friendship.

Under Dumas's guidance, Richard met old Davidson for the last time.

Seeing that the old man he knew was gone, Richard was very uncomfortable.

"Coach, be sad." Yao Ming patted Richard on the shoulder.

Yao Ming is also very sad right now. His most grateful person is Richard, and besides Richard, he is most grateful to old Davidson.

The old Davidson has always been taking care of Yao Ming very much. He just treats Yao Ming as his own child.

In Yao Ming's opinion, the old Davidson is not only his own boss, but more like his own elders, caring elders.

...

Three days later, Auburn Hills Palace Stadium.

Tonight is the home game of the Pistons, one and a half hours before the start of the game, the stadium is already filled with countless expressions of sad fans.

"Detroit lost a hero, the Pistons lost a good boss, and I Richard lost a best friend."

"Never forget the time spent working with old folks."

"Everything in the world can change, only life and death can not be moved, rest in peace, my old man, go all the way."

"..."

Richard read the eulogy with a sad expression, and his heart was mixed.

Looking at the Qiuyi with his name hanging over the arena, Richard recalled the night when he won the championship.

...

After the memorial service, Dumas instructed the team's staff to hang the jersey with the old Davidson's name on the arena.

Old Davidson is definitely worthy of this honor, and his life has brought countless glory to the Pistons.

At the beginning, if it was not the old Davidson who personally invited Richard, I am afraid that Richard would not have the idea of ​​joining the Pistons.

It is precisely because of the old Davidson that the Pistons can have two more championship trophies in team history.

...

Early the next morning, Richard followed Dumas and Yao Ming to visit the old Davidson family.

On the way back, Dumas had something to tell Richard.

This was quite sudden for Richard.

"Li, do you have any plans to acquire the Pistons?"

"In Old Davidson's will, you have the right of first refusal."

Richard did not expect the old Davidson to mention this in his will, but it is normal to think about it. The piston is very important for the old Davidson. He naturally does not want the piston to become a fish belly after his death. team.

And if Richard can buy the Pistons, under the leadership of Richard, the Pistons can definitely return to the top, and it is only a matter of time before the Pirates are killed.

Without Richard's pirates, how long can they remain strong? I am afraid that the time will not be longer than the previous peak pioneers.

The future of the Pistons was the most important thing before old Davidson died, so he made such a will.

His family did not particularly want to run the Pistons, and it may be that they are now planning to sell the Pistons.

Dumars now mentions this matter like Richard, and also thinks that Richard can buy the piston, so that at least his general manager's position will not change.

After all, he and Richard are also old acquaintances. After Richard bought the Pistons, it was impossible to take his own knife.

Yao Ming was also looking at Richard with his hopeful eyes. He also hoped that Richard could enter the main piston, so that he could play under Richard again.

He has already had feelings for Detroit, plus he has opened several Yao restaurants in Detroit, and he has a lot of industries, so he does not want to leave Detroit.

Now if Richard comes to the main piston, for Yao Ming, it is the best of both worlds.

...

Both were staring at Richard, hoping to get a positive answer from Richard.

Richard's head was a little messy, and old Davidson had just passed away, so he asked him to consider these issues.

But even with a confused head, Richard felt that he should not have the idea of ​​acquiring the Pistons.

Although Detroit's economy declined in the past two years, the overall situation is still ok, but in the future, the situation is less optimistic.

The Detroit ball market will become smaller and smaller. If you buy the Pistons, although it is because of the huge broadcast contract of later generations, it is definitely not a loss, but don't want to make too much.

Moreover, Richard has done a good job with the Pirates, but he really has no idea of ​​joining other teams.

"Sorry, guys, I have no intention of acquiring the Pistons."

"One is the issue of funds, and the other is that I have no intention of leaving the Pirates." Richard sighed.

Dumas and Yao Ming both nodded and sighed in their hearts, feeling a little uneasy about the future.

I don't know what kind of person is the boss who will take over the Pistons. Is it a good boss like old Davidson?

Bosses are different from bosses. Some bosses are quite annoying. Playing under such bosses is definitely not a pleasant thing.

Unfortunately, Richard had no plans to acquire the Pistons, otherwise Dumas and Yao Ming would not need to be so worried now.

The Pistons have been outstanding in recent years~www.readwn.com~ The market value of the team is certainly not bad, and no one can get it for three or four hundred million dollars.

If the old Davidson is still alive, he may make concessions to Richard in terms of price, but now the ownership of the Pistons belongs to the old Davidson's family. Even if Richard has the right to buy first, if the money is not enough, it will certainly not work.

Richard had previously given Golden Dragon $350 million to buy the Warriors, and there is not much liquidity at hand right now.

...

After returning to Charlotte, Jordan came to chat with Richard. He knew that after the death of old Davidson, he was a little nervous.

He had no friendship with Old Davidson at all, and even because of the bad boy corps, there was no hatred between the two, so he was certainly not worried about the death of Old Davidson.

He was afraid that Richard would have a plan to acquire the Pistons, and the Pirates would be cold...

Fortunately, Richard was relieved when he learned that Richard had no plans to acquire the Pistons.
