Chapter 43

Since Richard led the team to win the championship, Larry Brown stretched out the olive branch in the first time

However, for Larry Brown's invitation, Richard refused it directly!

In addition to Larry Brown, there are several NBA teams that have contacted Richard, but all of them have asked Richard to be an assistant

For these invitations, Richard naturally refused without saying a word!

Are you kidding? As long as Richard is willing, he can even play the record of ten consecutive titles in NCAA, will he be willing to be an assistant in NBA?!

Obviously not!

Seeing that it's hopeless to enter the NBA directly as the head coach, Richard signed a one-year contract with the school with an annual salary of 800000 dollars!

Although the contract term is very short, vice president Gooden is also relieved

Richard never signed the contract. He was worried for a day. What if Richard didn't renew the contract with Purdue and went to other schools to teach?!

What if next season without Richard's boiler workers, not even the top eight?!

Then he, the vice president in charge of sports, is expected to have a hard time

And now I have signed Richard, no matter what result he will lead the team to achieve next season, even if it is worse, the pot is Richard's back

……

Did not get the opportunity to enter the NBA, Richard is actually a little disappointed!

But the disappointment is only fleeting, because he knows that he will make a bigger surprise in the coming season!

……

Seven dragon ball action officially begins!

The first goal is Billups. Phillips Sr. and Billups and his family made a verbal commitment to join Purdue University by phone.

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

Simply take little Brownie directly to meet with the Billups in person and finish it face to face!

After meeting Billups, Richard knew how wise it was to meet in person

Kentucky, UCLA, Duke, North Carolina and other top schools have all been in contact with Billups recently. Even if Billups has a history of injury and has not participated in the golden arch all star game, these top schools are obviously willing to make mistakes

In the end, Richard, the champion coach, came to the door in person and gave Billups a promise that can't be refused!

In the first season, Billups will be given at least ten starts, and it's the kind of start that can play the whole game as long as you have physical strength!

And these ten games, including at least one national championship!

Such a commitment, no matter UCLA or several other famous schools, is absolutely impossible to give. Generally speaking, even the top high school students in the United States play a substitute position most of the year.

Billups's choice, it can be imagined that he would like to make a letter with Richard

……

Billups, one of the seven dragon balls, was basically taken by Richard, and the terms of the promise were not too difficult for Richard.

In the league championships and the subsequent national championships, the boiler industry university has played 35 games in summary. At that time, Iverson will be given a ten game rest to make a ten game starting position for Billups.

……

After taking Billups, Richard immediately rushed to the next destination!

South Carolina, home of Garnett!

The reason why he set Garnett as the second goal is that Richard naturally has his own consideration.

First of all, Garnett's strength is strong. In these seven dragon balls, Garnett's strength and future achievements are quite outstanding!

Second, Garnett didn't go to college, and he was directly a high school student in the draft. With half a month to go, the players who want to participate in the draft have to start applying to the League

Richard is afraid that he didn't wait to find Garnett. Garnett has already submitted his draft application, which is a bit painful.

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

But when he got to Nanka, Richard was almost scolded!

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 too much better than Billups. Richard estimated that those top schools would definitely give a commitment to let Garnett play the first game directly. Even so, Garnett went to the draft without hesitation

Richard just wanted to try. What if it did?

But in the end, Richard didn't even see Garnett. He just saw Garnett's stepfather

Like Iverson, Garnett was not impressed by his father. His mother later remarried, and Garnett lived with his mother and stepfatherThe stepfather refused Richard's request to meet Garnett without saying a word

Richard can also guess the reason. Garnett can make a lot of money when he enters the NBA. If he goes to college, he knows what will happen in the future

Not to mention the time when he was playing in college, Garnett didn't make any money. In case of serious injuries during his college life, he may not even have the chance to enter the NBA in the future

It's better to go straight to the draft now and get a multi million rookie contract at the bottom!

……

In this way, Richard left Nanka empty handed, and could not even meet the iron wolf king in the future!

The second seven dragon ball, it's gone

However, Richard was not discouraged. He was not confident enough to collect all the seven dragon balls. Although he could not get Garnett, there were still five dragon balls left

Richard's third dragon ball is in Florida

Half man and half god!

Vince Carter!

"Vince, if you look at our last season's game, it should be very clear that we need a qualified swingman, especially in the case of Dimitar Barry leaving the team, I think if you want to join us in Purdue, I can promise you a starting point guard or starting small forward position!"

It doesn't take much trouble to see Carter. Carter's family belongs to the middle class of America, so his mother is not in a hurry to let Carter enter the NBA

Of course, Carter also reorganized his family. His biological father abandoned his mother and three children, such as Carter. Fortunately, his stepfather is a teacher with stable work

Richard said his ideas directly

"Coach Li, nice to meet you. You had a perfect season last season! To be honest, if I hadn't promised to join North Carolina, I would have made Purdue the first choice... " Said venskat politely.

It can also be seen from this that Carter received a very good education in his childhood.

When Richard heard this, he was a little depressed, and he was outdone by North Carolina!

"North Carolina? Vince, why do you think about going to North Carolina? You know, they haven't made any decent achievements in some years... "

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

……

After leaving from Carter's family, 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 Jordan's out of North Carolina!

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

Seven dragon balls have found three, but only one of them, namely Billups

Next, there's truth Pierce, commissar Ma, Jamison and Rahim, who Richard had thought about before!

With the departure of Brent Barry and the graduation of green, the former small forward in the team, now the position of small forward and point guard in the boiler team is extremely empty, or even unavailable!

Among the remaining four, pierce can play position 23, which is the best puzzle of the team.

Jamison is playing a No. 34 double striker, which is also a good choice for the team!

As for Ma political commissar, who plays the first position, and Rahim, who plays the fourth position, Richard certainly wants it, but he doesn't have to. If he wants to come, he is welcome. If he doesn't want to, Richard doesn't demand it
