Chapter 428

The next morning, the pistons, the suns and the Cavaliers jointly held a trade conference.

The pistons sent Rodney white to Gerard Wallace and arenas.

The reporters at the press conference are all stupid. Is Richard a guy who has any special hobby for a player named Wallace

Before, the Blazers had a double Wallace lineup, but now they have just come to the piston, and they have not yet got a new Wallace.

……

As soon as the conference was over, Richard took Bob miles back to Detroit.

Old curry is still waiting for him in Detroit

His contract expired at the end of last season, and as a result, the Blazers didn't renew his contract with old curry.

Other teams also have little interest in old curry, mainly in the last two years, who has rarely played in the Blazers.

In this case, Richard extended an olive branch to old Curie and invited him to become a teaching assistant of piston. Old Curie thought twice and finally agreed.

There are three children to raise at home. It's a little bit more to earn

Since then, Richard's coaching team has gradually enriched.

A bob Myers, responsible for playing for Richard, dealing with some of Richard's daily tasks.

An old Curie, in charge of shooting training of team players

The coaching team is already in its infancy, so it's almost enough to hire two more coaches.

In Richard's opinion, it's not very difficult to invite Jabbar

At present, Jabbar is working as a teaching assistant in the Clippers. If he sticks out his olive branch and pays more, I'm afraid Jabbar will be very interested in joining the pistons.

After all, Richard is quite legendary.

Although Jabbar has a perfect career, his coaching career is not outstanding.

He joined clippers as an assistant last season, but he couldn't do it for two years.

Then in 2002, he went to USBL to coach Oklahoma Stormwind.

This USBL sounds very tall, in fact, it is a summer league

It was only in 2004 that Jabbar really got the chance to be the head coach. He joined the New York Knicks and became the head coach of the team.

But I also worked for a season, and the next year I went to the Lakers as an assistant.

……

While looking at the start of the new season, Richard immediately called Jabbar.

The purpose of this call, of course, is to invite Jabbar to join the piston coaching team.

To Richard's surprise, Jabbar agreed without saying a word

He didn't even ask how much he was paid. He agreed with Richard to appear in Detroit within half a month.

It's normal to think about it. Richard has three managers under his hand now. Jabbar must be thinking of following the coach's path at the moment.

Then I will work for two years in Richard's place. Maybe I can be the leader of the first team like Carlisle and them.

Born in 1947, Jabbar, now in his 50s, is certainly not old enough to have a second spring in the coaching industry.

……

There is no doubt that Richard is quite pleased with the joining of Jabbar.

Now that the props are there, so are the Jabbar people, waiting for Yao Ming to return

……

With Jabbar joining the coaching team, Richard doesn't have to worry about the assistant at present, which is basically enough.

The next job is nothing more than two, the first is to quickly sell the team's Stackhouse, as well as some other high salary and low ability players.

The second job is to see if there are any reliable players in the free market, and then gather in the team to improve the competitiveness of the next team.

This year's draft conference actually has a drop draft nochionne, may play the power forward or the center position.

In other words, Richard may not be interested in nochionne, but he can't at the moment.

The lineup is empty in space. If we bring nochionne in, it will play a good role if we train him a little.

Moreover, even if it is sold in the future, it can also bring some chips to Richard.

In addition to nochionne, there are two players who are more attractive to Richard.

One is Birdman Anderson, the other is lagabel.

These two are not stars of course, but they will be a good team puzzle

Birdman Anderson, fans must be familiar. In 1999, he was playing in Nangang, Jiangsu Province. According to Richard's memory, he should have returned to the United States this year, just in time for Richard to recruit.

Extremely tough defense, in Richard's view, playing a four position substitute, quite practical.

As for lagabel, Kobe fans are not strange, still a defensive gate, selected for a while.But what really made him famous was to lock Kobe's throat

It's a throat lock.

the defense of the two men is quite awesome.

Lagabel is very accomplished in three points, but his attack ability in other aspects is not so good. The attack level of Birdman Anderson is not as good as that of lagabel.

However, if the attack ability is excellent, Richard will not be able to choose them.

Lagabel, who spent some time with the 76ers last season, was not liked by Carlisle. Now he is a free agent. Richard is easy to sign.

As for the Birdman Anderson, it took a lot of effort, because Richard only knew that the goods left from Jiangsu Nangang, but he didn't know where they went after returning to the United States.

However, there is also a way to find Anderson. Just contact Jiangsu Nangang directly. They must have Anderson's contact information on hand.

……

Richard left the job of recruiting lagabel directly to Bob miles.

This kind of simple work, Richard certainly does not need to intervene, miles can easily complete this kind of work

If you can't even do this incredibly simple work, then miles has little value.

Li Chade went to Dazhi to help him find the contact information of Jiangsu Nangang.

"Coach, my God, did you finally get his idea?"

"I'm so excited. I have to say that the coach's vision is really invincible!"

As soon as he heard that Richard wanted the contact information of Jiangsu Nangang, Dazhi immediately spoke happily and boasted with Richard.

Boasting Richard is a little confused

How invincible, I just want the contact information of Nangang, and then ask about Anderson's whereabouts.

"What? Dazhi, what are you talking about? " Asked Richard, speechless.

"Coach? Don't you want to recruit Hu Weidong to play in the league? "

"You're looking for the right person. Now the pistons are empty in the backcourt. I think brother Hu can definitely make a big difference!"

"Brother Hu's strength, really don't have to say, before the Olympic Games, I played with him, in terms of strength, I'm afraid not worse than some NBA players!" Dazhi said to Richard like a firecracker.

After a while, Richard wondered what Dazhi was saying.

Dare Dazhi think he wants to contact Jiangsu Nangang to recruit Hu Weidong?!

Well, it's no wonder Dazhi misunderstood. If it was Richard, it would be misunderstood.

Because Hu Weidong is the star of Jiangsu Nangang. In Dazhi's opinion, Richard contacted Nangang for no reason, not just to recruit Hu Weidong!

Besides, Hu Weidong and NBA are not predestined.

In 1998, the Mavericks' old Nelson sent Hu Weidong an invitation for a ten day short contract, but at that time, Hu Weidong had a knee injury and didn't make it.

Then in 2000, magic gave Hu Weidong a short contract. This time, Hu Weidong suffered a foot injury and missed the chance to enter the NBA.

It's 2001. No wonder Dazhi misunderstood Richard. He thought Richard wanted to recruit Hu Weidong to play in piston.

After all, piston has no hair in the team now

The only Stackhouse was put on the shelf by Richard, and Richard's idea of playing domestic players is normal.

……

Richard is stupid. It's like Dazhi said that he can't do it.

Hu Weidong has a great reputation in the history of Chinese basketball, after all, his nickname is Chinese Jordan.

In terms of strength, the CBA backcourt players that have emerged in the future are not the same as Richard, but really inferior to Hu Weidong.

Maybe Hu Weidong is the strongest defender in the whole CBA history.

As for Liu Yudong, although he is the same height as Hu Weidong, his official position is not guard, but power forward

Such a strong defender in China's history, recruitment is not to say no.

Richard calculated in his mind.

It should not be difficult to recruit Hu Weidong. At present, Hu Weidong is 31 years old. He is a veteran in CBA. It's easy to let people go for the reason that Hu Weidong has worked for him for so many years at Nangang.

After all, Hu Weidong has been plagued by injuries in the past two years, and his condition has declined a lot.

In the 99-00 season, Lao Hu can still average 30 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 steals in CBA. By the year of 00-01, it will be reduced by half

Richard thought about it and thought it would work.

Of course, even if Hu Weidong is really recruited, with his current age, he is unlikely to become the core of the piston's backcourt.

One is really old, and the other is strength, which is certainly not comparable to the NBA level stars.Richard's hands have never been short of stars, especially in the back

In this case, Hu Weidong can't be the core of the backcourt naturally.

It may be more similar to the character of the old Curie who joined the pioneer in the first two years. He mainly played as a substitute, and in the next few years was responsible for teaching new players and instilling some experience in the game.

Besides, at present, the piston lineup is quite empty. Although there are three people in the draft conference, they are going to bring nochionne, Anderson and lagabel, but their staff is still quite insufficient.

In the original team of Detroit, except for the two valuable newcomers, Richard is not going to use one of the other players.

Anyway, Richard has to put together at least 13 players.

Who is not to whom is the contract given? Can't you give Hu Weidong an NBA guarantee contract?!

Yes!

There is no reason not to

Richard didn't expect this phone call to have such a harvest. His goal was to find Anderson. In addition to Anderson, he found another Hu Weidong.

"Well, Dazhi, you can see it, or you can ask your father to see it. After all, they are in a circle, so they can talk."

"Ask Hu Weidong if he wants to join the NBA..."

Richard said to Dazhi with a smile.

"It's needless to ask. I talked with brother Hu before. He has this idea, but it's mainly the ten day short contract that both Mavericks and magic give him. He doesn't want to go!"

"Even if he's not hurt, he's lazy to go. Ten days' short contract, isn't it a shame..."

"Coach, can you offer a guarantee contract? If there is a guarantee contract, brother Hu will go. After all, who doesn't want to come to the NBA! "

Dazhi asked in distress.

"Don't worry, Dazhi. I'm sure to give you the guarantee contract. It's four-year term. How much is the specific amount? I have to think about it, but it won't be too low!"

Hearing this, Dazhi Liansheng, instead of Hu Weidong, thanked Richard and immediately hung up the phone. It seemed that he was going to contact Hu Weidong.

He had a good relationship with Hu Weidong in the last Sydney Olympic Games.

Now my elder brother is going to be coached by Richard. Dazhi is naturally excited.

……

Richard also felt a little happy, not to say how much strength Hu Weidong could bring to the pistons.

But he was born in Jiangsu in his previous life, and naturally grew up listening to Hu Weidong's myth.

Even if there are some boastful places, it doesn't hinder Richard's worship of Hu Weidong.

Chinese Jordan, just a name, is enough to show the strength of Hu Weidong.

What's more, even if it's a real injury and you can't play, don't forget who Richard is.

He is the host of system binding, which makes Hu Weidong reborn. It's not difficult.

You should know that Hu Weidong is not very old at present. He is only 31 years old. In the NBA, he is still in the year of playing!

Even two years younger than Richard

……

In the afternoon, Richard received an international call. He didn't need to think about it. It must have been Hu Weidong.

"Brother Li, ha ha, I heard from Dazhi. Thank you very much!" Hu Weidong is a typical northern Jiangsu man. He is very straightforward. He called and didn't beat around the bush.

Brother Li made Richard feel quite embarrassed.

Good guy, I'm the elder brother of Hu Weidong. Hu Weidong is the younger brother. It's against the rules.

"Cough, Lao Mei's name is not good. You can call my name directly. No, I have to call the coach later." Said Richard with a smile.

"Well, just now I thought about it. On behalf of the team, I gave a contract of four years and eight million US dollars. In addition, if Nangang wants to buy out the money, we can offer hundreds of thousands here. If it's not enough, you can only pay for it!"

Li Chade directly informed Hu Weidong of the contract quotation he prepared.

There is no need for negotiations between the two parties

Eight million US dollars in four years, an average of two million US dollars a year. When it comes to giving Hu Weidong such a contract, there must be more. If we change to other teams, we will not give such a contract, or even four-year contract workers.

Didn't see the Mavericks and magic, only gave ten days short contract

But in Richard's opinion, this contract is not high. Is it only two million dollars a year?!

What's more, the pistons actually have to spend more money on the outside, because the salaries of the pistons will trigger the poor line after sending many high paid and low-powered players away from the team.

There is no top salary in the piston team, the highest is 5 million dollars of Stackhouse. Now Stackhouse has been sent away. There are several players with an annual salary of 34 million, which must trigger the poor line.Each team's salary, too much also can't, must pay the luxury tax.

If it's less, it can't do the same. It will trigger the poor line. The team has to take out the difference from the poor line and distribute it to the players in the team on average

The most embarrassing thing for Richard right now is that they seem to be a long way from the poor line.

The standard of the poor line is 90% of the salary cap!

The salary cap for the next season is about $42 million.

That is to say, the poor line is 38 million US dollars. If it is less than that, the team will have to take money to make up the difference and give the players an average share.

And now if the pistons scrape away those three million year paid players, let alone 38 million, they can't even raise 20 million

So at present, a contract with an annual salary of 2 million yuan for Hu Weidong is not enough in Richard's view. It's more appropriate to sign a contract with a salary of 45 million yuan to fill in the poverty line.

But Richard also knew that if he really spent five million dollars to sign Hu Weidong, it would be troublesome and he would be shot dead

……

"By the way, Weidong, you had a foreign aid named Chris Anderson before Nangang. Do you know that?" Richard thought of Anderson.

"Yes, that kid. I just returned home a few days ago. I have his contact information here. He is my little brother. He also gives me time to go to the United States to find him..."

"Well, you should come to the United States to report recently. Take the kid along the way. I have prepared a guarantee contract for him!"

……

Several things have been solved smoothly, which makes Richard full of confidence in the future of piston!

Three days later, miles appeared in Richard's office with lagabel.

Looking at this skinny boy with a baby face, Richard couldn't be associated with the throat lock monster in any way.

"I'm too skinny. I'll train well during the off-season, and try to strengthen my muscles and strengthen my antagonism!"

"My team, Richard's team, doesn't want a paper defensive player who gets knocked down in a crash!"

Said Richard, frowning.

"Yes, coach! This off-season, I will work hard! " Lagabel looked excited.

He didn't even dream that this kind of luck would come to him!

Are you kidding? This is Richard!

the existence of God in the coaching community. He even looks up to himself?!

Seeing that Richard was not very satisfied with his body, lagabel immediately clapped his chest to ensure that he would train well during the off-season!

Richard nodded and said to powers, "let's sign the contract first..."

"Ten million dollars in four years, bell, do you have any comments?"

Lagabel was stunned for a moment. Do you have any comments?! He's too opinionated. Is this contract given too much
