Bishop of the Devil

Richard was suspended for five games and fined 200,000. This punishment can be said to be quite serious.

Looking at Stern's unfinished expression, I guess if he continues to speak, the punishment will have to be increased.

When Xiao Hua saw this scene, he quickly changed the subject.

He has a good feeling about Richard. Although Richard has always been lawless in his actions, many of these things can bring topic and benefits to the NBA. Therefore, Xiao Hua doesn’t have much concern for Richard. Disgust.

"Mr. President, how should we deal with those three players?" Xiao Hua asked.

Stern pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made a decision and decided on the final punishment plan.

"Zeon Clark was suspended for three games and fined US$15,000!"

"Lagabel was suspended for one game and fined five thousand dollars!"

"Richard was suspended for five games and fined 200,000 US dollars!"

"Yao Ming..."

"Penalty of twenty-five thousand US dollars..."

Stern stated the punishment plan he had in mind, and many executives present finally nodded, agreeing with the punishment plan.

There is no doubt that Yao Ming's punishment plan is a bit outrageous, but this is what they have no choice but to do.

At the moment, they don't want to ban Yao Ming. The biggest reason is that the Chinese market has gradually expanded.

Now that Yao Ming has become the backbone of Chinese basketball, if he is severely punished, there is no guarantee that Chinese fans will feel that the NBA is specifically targeting Chinese players.

Richard has said more than once at the press conference that this incident was caused by Stoudemire's provocation, and Yao Ming was a passive counterattack.

"By the way, give that kid an additional penalty, a one-game suspension and a fine of five thousand!" Stern thought about it and gave Stoudemire an additional penalty.

If Xiaosi knew about it, he would probably vomit blood...

I have been beaten to a pig's head by Yao Ming, and in the end, I have to punish myself. Is there any justice?

Not to mention, there is really nothing wrong with Stern's punishment of Stoudemire. Stoudemire had obvious offensive intentions on the court, so it was natural for him to be suspended.

As for the punishments of Clark and Lagabell, they were also quite reliable, and the degree of their punishments was consistent with the crimes they committed.

Only Yao Ming and Richard were punished. One was punished too lightly, and the other was punished too severely.

Even in the eyes of everyone, Richard's punishment was really inexplicable. He only stretched out one foot and was fined two hundred thousand dollars.

This step is really valuable...

However, these executives are all smart people and can generally guess Stern's thoughts. This is to balance Yao Ming's punishment and let the outside world focus on Richard's punishment and ignore Yao Ming's light punishment!

Richard's penalty is definitely the most severe penalty in NBA history, with a fine of up to 200,000 US dollars, which has never happened before!

When this ticket is revealed, I am afraid that all media and reporters will ignore Yao Ming's matter and focus instead on Richard.

By then, I'm afraid even if some people feel that Yao Ming's punishment was too light, they may not pay much attention to it. I'm afraid the Rockets, the sufferer, will also accept such a punishment result.

…

In the afternoon, Richard finally waited for the penalty results issued by the league.

When he saw his name on the penalty list, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

What did you do and you were punished? !

Let’s look at the amount of the penalty. Good guy, is Stern too poor to reveal the blame? He actually fined himself a full two hundred thousand dollars? !

Although this money is really nothing to Richard...

But the punishment was a bit inexplicable, which still made Richard feel quite unhappy!

When he looked at the punishment results of other people, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Clark, Bell, and Stoudemire were all suspended, while Yao Ming only received a cash penalty and was not suspended.

This actually surprised Richard...

What he fears most is that Yao Ming will be suspended, causing the 20+10 record to be interrupted. In that case, he will have to start from scratch.

Now that Yao Ming has not been suspended, Richard is no longer unhappy with the 200,000 fine.

He is not a fool, and he is quite clear about the thoughts of the league's executives.

Needless to say, this is probably another way of balancing.

They don't want to punish Yao Ming heavily because it is not good for their interests, so they punish themselves heavily to balance the punishment. This way, it can not only divert the attention of outside fans, but also satisfy the Rockets...

I have to say that Stern played a good card again this time.

Thinking of this, Richard didn't care much about the fine. For him now, two hundred thousand dollars was just a drop in the bucket, and he didn't care much at all.

Richard himself doesn't have the habit of spending money lavishly. In addition, Golden Dragon has been generating income at the moment, which has resulted in the increase in Richard's net worth being quite scary.

To be honest, Richard really doesn't know how much money he has right now.

Maybe the Golden Dragon is not very clear now, after all, the value of many things cannot be said clearly.

However, Richard estimates that his current guaranteed net worth will not be less than $300 million.

If they can get it together by selling everything, such as selling the boxing event at hand, it is estimated that they can generate a cash flow of close to 400 million US dollars.

Thinking about the ninth year that Richard traveled back in time, it seems to be almost ten years. He has accumulated so much wealth, and there are many things to say, but it is actually not enough.

If Richard had really been focusing on making money, I'm afraid there would definitely be more than just this amount at the moment.

People who travel through time have inherent advantages in making money.

Even if Richard is a fool, his salary as a coach is enough to buy a lot of land in Shenzhen.

The real estate value in Shenzhen in later generations was astonishingly high. Some of the total value of at least ten communities was as high as 100 billion. The value of the largest community was even higher than the total market value of Baidu.

If you really want to make money, there is nothing better than building land and housing...

After the houses are built, they will sell them in 20708 and make a lot of money. Then they will continue to invest in the real estate market with the money earned and wait until 1617 to do another wave.

The next Wanda.

Richard is actually quite satisfied with his current net worth. If he continues to save, he will soon be able to buy a team.

…

Along with the punishment results, there is also Richard's Rule No. 2 which was officially announced.

This rule almost made Richard laugh until his face collapsed. Stern was really scared to come up with such a thing...

Rule number two? You little mushroom!

Richard feels that there may be Rule No. 3 or even Rule No. 4 waiting for him in the future...

…

After the NBA officially announced the news, it immediately caused an uproar in the basketball circle!

Richard triggered Richard's Law and was fined two hundred thousand dollars.

The Utah fans were overjoyed, and the French Open was full of details. It’s not that they didn’t report it, the time has not yet come!

Richard also had today, and he finally had to pay the price!

This time it will definitely make Richard vomit blood...

Of course, there are also many die-hard fans of Richard who have expressed strong dissatisfaction with this punishment.

After the introduction of Richard's Law, it doesn't mean that no one has violated it. Bucks head coach George Karl violated this rule last season. As a result, the league only dealt with it lightly and only fined him $5,000.

Now that Richard is here, why should he be fined a huge sum of two hundred thousand dollars? !

Could it be that just because this law is called Richard's Law, Richard will be severely punished if he violates it?

Well, if you put it that way, it seems to make sense.

However, seeing Richard being fined so much, these die-hard fans still feel bad for Richard.

They can imagine the scene where Richard was so angry that he burst into rage...

Some people gloated, and some mourned for Richard, but the next piece of news broke out and made everyone crazy.

The American Financial News published a news article with the title "Richard, who is worth 400 million, where does his wealth come from?"

This news did not cause much reaction in the financial circles, and it did not even cause controversy. After all, a net worth of several hundred million is not an exaggerated figure in the United States.

But in NBA circles, it caused an uproar.

Richard is so rich? !

Good guy, they were originally gloating over Richard being fined 200,000 US dollars, or they were holding a moment of silence for Richard...

Now it seems that there is absolutely no need!

What does this two hundred thousand US dollars mean to Richard, who is worth 400 million yuan?

It seems like hair doesn’t even count!

Everyone was also curious, where did Richard get so much money? After they read this report, they understood instantly!

Thank you, Richard is not only a coaching genius, but also an investment genius. In recent years, his investment skills have been guaranteed to make a profit!

Countless people cried after seeing this news. This is really infuriating.

Originally, when they saw Richard fighting against the world in the league, they thought Richard was an unsophisticated idiot who only had strong coaching abilities.

Now it seems that it is much more than that, this guy is actually an investment genius!

This guy is simply a winner in life...

…

Many people know that Richard is rich, but generally no one mentions it. There are so many rich people in the NBA, who would talk about other people's net worth.

And those who don't know Richard don't know that Richard has so much money.

This led to the fact that no one really paid attention to Richard's net worth before.

This time, he was fined 200,000 U.S. dollars, and there were all kinds of complaints. After interested people inquired about the news, they took the opportunity to release Richard's net worth.

…

Richard didn't care about this kind of thing. Anyway, the money was his own. If he didn't steal it or rob it, if he earned it openly, others would know it.

Richard really didn't care about the $200,000 fine, but the five-game suspension made Richard's balls hurt.

He was afraid that Yao Ming would interrupt his 20+10 record in his absence!

After much deliberation, Richard finally asked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to temporarily replace him as head coach, and told Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about letting Yao Ming play big data as much as possible...

Of course, Richard couldn't tell Kareem Abdul-Jabbar the real reason. He just said that he was about to reach the All-Star Game. He wanted Yao Ming to put up big numbers as much as possible and then enter the All-Star Game as the starting center.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar naturally agreed. He liked the humble and low-key Yao Ming very much, and he was a center. Even if Richard didn't say this, he would definitely let Yao Ming perform well.
