Chapter 446

In the final of CBA finals, Shanghai team was better than others and won the championship of CBA League.

Yao appeared in Richard's office half a month later.

Don't mention how excited Richard is now

……

Seeing the days getting closer and closer to the draw conference, each team also shows their own magic.

Actually, Lao Mei is quite superstitious.

At least according to Richard, at least five teams have come back from France to change their lives against the sky.

After all, it's just a matter of luck for the draw conference to remove those black curtain operations

If God bless you, you will make a lot of money if you achieve magic like that.

The Miami Heat has made a lot of preparations. They want two cigars from patrilly

The wizards let Jordan wear lucky shorts to the draw.

Trailblazer here with the chair in Richard's office

Anyway, it's all about showing their magic power, with some good luck things, ready to participate in the draw conference.

Davidson, the boss of piston, asked Richard if he would get some holy water from France, but Richard refused.

He doesn't know what the hell is going on in the NBA

How a bunch of feudal old superstitions.

You have Lucky Dice on hand. Do you need the things used by the magic wand?

the duration of Lucky Dice is three minutes. In these three minutes, Richard is definitely the most lucky man in the world!

……

When Yao Ming came, he lived directly in Detroit.

At present, Yao Ming has signed up for the draft, so it's not against the League regulations for pistons to contact Yao Ming so much.

Moreover, even if Yao Ming didn't sign up for the draft, such contact is not against the rules, because Yao Ming is not an NCAA player, so the NBA can't punish piston in any case.

The news of Yao Ming's coming to the United States, whether at home or in the United States, has attracted a lot of attention.

After Yao Ming came to the US, he was stationed in Detroit without saying anything, which made people start to daydream.

From the current situation, it is obvious that Yao Ming has the idea of joining the pistons, and the pistons also have the idea of choosing Yao Ming at the draft conference.

It's hard to understand how the pistons would get Yao Ming.

You know Yao Ming is the top pick. How can pistons get the top pick in that record

Is Yao Ming in the draft before, what will be done to discourage others from choosing their own ideas?

Let's say publicly that we're not going anywhere but Detroit Pistons

For example, deliberately cheat injury, affect their draft prospects.

Many people in the basketball circle are already waiting to watch, because in the case of pistons, unless God cares, they have no chance to get Yao Ming!

At the beginning of May, several teams in the League invited Yao Ming for trial training.

In the past two years, even Richard has noticed a significant decline in the quality of rookies. Those experts who specialize in this field must also have noticed.

This year's draft conference, in the eyes of experts from all walks of life, may be as bad as in 2000.

The only variable, I'm afraid, is Yao Ming

Center withered, the value of a good center is self-evident, now many teams are closely watching Yao Ming, in case they get the first prize in the draw conference, in the absence of a more secure choice, they must follow the principle of general election and choose Yao Ming.

At present, they are inviting Yao Ming for trial training. They must also want to see how Yao Ming's situation is and whether he can adapt to the rhythm of NBA games.

……

However, to their annoyance, Yao Ming refused to invite the teams for trial training directly.

I've been in Detroit, just like I don't want to go anywhere.

This has inflamed the management of several teams

Although the excuse given by Yao Ming is physical discomfort, it is not convenient to carry out the team's individual trial, and even the league's joint trial has been pushed out.

But the management of each team is feeling that things are certainly not so simple.

Yao Ming cut 41 points, 22 rebounds and 6 blocks in the final of the CBA League. The whole man seems to have no problem.

How can I feel ill when I get to Detroit? Is it Richard's poison?

In this way, Richard's side should say that there is no problem

Brian winters, who has just taken over as manager of the warriors, is completely out of his mind.

Warriors last season, led by Dave cowens, won the bottom of the League record, only to be fired at the end of the season.Now winters has taken over as manager of warriors

As for Kearns, he packed up his bags again, and was ready to join the pistons in the near future to become a glorious assistant under Richard.

……

Winters is quite annoyed. Their warriors have the best chance of winning the first place this year.

In this case, if you want to try Yao Ming, you can't ask too much?

But his grandmother's legs, Richard's side must have stopped Yao Ming from going, but their warriors are very flustered now

Yao Ming's situation, but also through the CBA League to learn some, warriors now want to try training, to increase the understanding of Yao Ming.

As long as they understand it, they can make a decision whether to sign Yao Ming or not if they get the number one pick.

But all this has become extravagant hope, Yao Ming is not to participate in trial training.

"I don't know what benefits Richard promised Yao Ming!"

"I don't know if their behavior violates the relevant provisions of the Alliance..."

"Anyway, this kind of behavior is quite discontented. We have the right to get a trial of Yao Ming!"

"Yao Ming, I hope you can think it over carefully. Richard is not helping you, but harming you!"

"It's good that they can get the top ten draft right in piston's hands. Don't you want to enter the league as the champion?"

"If you want to, please contact me as soon as possible. We will arrange the trial as soon as possible. It will not delay you too long!"

Winters held a press conference on behalf of the warriors and arrested Richard for a scolding.

He's really angry. Tell me what it's called

Not only on the warrior side, but also on the knight side.

They are the second from the bottom in the league, and they have a good chance to win the first place in the league. More than once, they invited Yao Ming for trial training, but no one heard from them.

The same is true for the Knicks. After Ewing left, they are looking for a super center as the cornerstone of the team.

These teams are all the ones who have a good chance of winning the first prize, but now they hate Richard.

……

Richard is also quite speechless. Actually, it has nothing to do with him.

He didn't encourage Yao Ming to refuse the trial. In his opinion, Yao Ming would not go to the trial.

It's OK to try and train, or not.

Anyway, the top scorer must be in his own hands, and he will definitely choose Yao Ming.

……

But Yao decided not to go to the trial, at least not at this time.

Yao Ming also had to stand out under the pressure of various teams holding press conferences.

He didn't care about the feelings of those teams, but was afraid that Richard would be misunderstood.

After all, it's not glamorous to encourage players to refuse to try training

"Coach, you can hold a press conference for me in Detroit. I want to talk to those teams and let them not worry."

"Dayao, what are you doing with those people? When the draw is over, they will naturally shut up Said Richard with a smile.

Let the outside be hilarious, Richard will not be moved.

"Let's have a press conference. I'd like to have a press conference in Laos and America. What's the feeling..." Yao said with a smile.

Richard nodded involuntarily. Since Yao said that, open it up

"By the way, Dayao, you don't have an agent on Lao Mei's side, do you?" Asked Richard, frowning.

Yao Ming nodded. He has a domestic agent. This time he brought it here. But some domestic agents are not very proficient.

For example, some tax issues of Laos and the United States, and some legal issues of contracts.

"Well, coach, I'd like to ask you about it. Is there any reliable agent to introduce me to..." Yao asked with a smile.

To find an agent, you must find a reliable one, otherwise, you will be killed by the pit.

Richard frowned and thought about it. If he was an agent, he knew a lot

And the relationship with the agent is quite familiar, after all, Richard produced a large number of super new people, those agents naturally want to flatter Richard.

But Yao's problem this time is to let Richard have an idea of setting up a brokerage company.

At present, the West Lafayette players in the league, has been a thorough reputation.

Richard seems to be losing money as he continues to let the West Lafayette stars sign up for other agencies.

It seems that all the money has been earned

The money that people earn is not small. After all, these West Lafayette players have almost grown into stars and signed big contracts with the team.It's just the draw out of the contract, which is a considerable income.

The more Richard thought about it, the more restless he became. It seems that he should earn the money by himself

It's better to set up a brokerage company first, then say hello to the West Lafayette players and let them go for themselves.

Of course, Richard is now an NBA practitioner and general manager. He must not open a brokerage company, which is against the rules of the NBA.

But I can't drive it by myself. I can let Golden Dragon drive it

At that time, it seems that it is not difficult to use some means to get the profits into our own hands.

Richard and golden dragon have known each other for many years. For a long time, Golden Dragon has been responsible for the financial problems of Richard's side.

For so many years, there have been no problems. Golden Dragon is quite conscientious, capable and personable. Richard is also quite relieved to hang this brokerage company on Golden Dragon's head.

Besides, the foundation of the establishment of the brokerage company is Richard's contacts. Without Richard, the brokerage company would not be able to continue.

So in terms of feeling and reason, golden dragon is very suitable for this job.

"Dayao, the agent's business, you wait for a while, and then I'll take care of it." Richard is going to do what he says. He will tell golden dragon to do it in the near future.

Yao Ming naturally nodded. He was not too worried about the agent.

……

At two o'clock the next afternoon, Yao Ming's first press conference in the United States was held.

Detroit native journalists have come a lot, they want to see how Yao Ming will respond to those teams.

What makes these journalists speechless is that Richard is sitting beside Yao Ming blatantly

At this time, is it possible to avoid suspicion and die

Looking at Richard's expression, I don't seem to take the dissatisfaction of those teams seriously.

……

"Coach Richard, in what capacity are you here today?" After reporters began to ask questions, the first question was not Yao Ming, but Richard sitting beside Yao Ming.

Richard did not expect that these journalists would ask themselves questions as soon as they came up.

"Cough, I came to this press conference as a translator. You should also know that Yao Ming's English is not good. At present, you may not understand what you are talking about, so I need to translate it!" Richard's ability of bullshit is almost universal.

The reporters are going to spit blood?! It's so blatant. You're so funny

If you are a translator, what's the matter with the translator on the other side of Yao Ming?

"Coach Richard, your identity is not convincing. It's just a press conference. Yao Ming doesn't need to take two translators, does he?"

"Yes, they only have one translator when they talk to the leaders of other countries."

Reporters began to heckle one after another. Their heckle must have a purpose. It was to see if Richard could say something they wanted to hear.

For example, directly admit the relationship between Yao Ming and him

"Well, who stipulated that the press conference could not bring two translators? Does the NBA have this rule? "

"And why can't Richard be a translator? Is it easy for me to find a part-time job during the off-season? Don't keep your eyes on it. Ask Yao Ming questions and ask... " Richard said to the reporters.

The focus of today's press conference is Yao Ming. What's the matter with you staring at Richard.

The main reason why he came to this press conference today is that he was afraid of Yao Ming saying something he shouldn't have said.

If I am on the scene, I can help Yao Ming to come back.

As for whether his appearance at Yao Ming's private press conference will cause more dissatisfaction from other teams, how could Richard care

……

"Due to the recent physical discomfort, I didn't intend to participate in the trial training for a short time, not only the joint trial of the league, but also the individual trial of each team. I hope that each team can understand."

Yao first explained in Mandarin why he didn't take part in the trial.

Maybe I don't want to offend so many people when I just joined the league, so Yao Ming's words are quite euphemistic.

Yao Ming just finished, many reporters looked at Richard, you should start to translate this?

"Yao said he was in a bad condition and didn't want to take part in the trial. Don't bother him in the future." Richard rolled his eyes

Reporters are going to spit blood. Did Yao Ming really say that? They have said so many things. Why do you only say two sentences in this translation?

"As for why I stay in Detroit, that's because I have a relationship with coach Richard. At present, I come to the United States mainly to adapt to the diet and living habits, and learn English by the way."

"Yao said, the reason to come to Detroit is to learn English."

"As for when I will take part in the trial training, I will take part in the trial training of one or three teams according to the situation when the draw is over.""Yao said. The trial will be held after the draw is over."

The reporters under the stage are dubious. They always feel that Richard's translation is deceiving.

I feel something is wrong

……

In the evening, the teams also got the news of the press conference in the afternoon, which was even more irritating.

In their eyes, this is Richard challenging them

Why do you, a manager, attend the private press conference of other players?!

Don't be shameful

……

Anyway, Richard doesn't care about the feeling of those teams now. He just hopes that the draw will start soon.

……

The NBA playoffs have been in full swing, the first round has ended, and now they are all playing the division semi-finals.

The remaining four teams in the East are Philadelphia 76ers, green Kay, the nets and magic.

Nets vs magic, 76 vs green.

This is the Eastern Conference semi-finals

As for the western side, the remaining four teams are kings, blazers, spurs and Lakers.

The Blazers met the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.

As for the king, he ran into the Lakers

At first, the trailblazers were prepared to sell Ginobili, but they didn't find any good chips, so they had to stay in their hands.

The Spurs are interested in Ginobili, but they don't have anything in their hands, and the Blazers aren't stupid enough to let their rivals improve.

……

As for the Lakers, they don't care much about their regular season record. All their energy is focused on the playoffs.

Seeing the match in the west, Richard had a hunch that it might be another match between the Blazers and the Lakers.

Emotionally speaking, he naturally wants the trailblazers to reach the finals. In that case, maybe three consecutive titles can be extended to four consecutive titles.

After all, the eastern side, no matter who enters the finals, is actually the fate of being hanged.

But Richard is also clear that the League may not tolerate the birth of a four time winning team.

In this case, the Lakers will probably be taken care of by the league. In fact, it's not unimaginable to beat the Blazers in the Western Conference.

Richard didn't think too much either. He has left the trailblazers now. It doesn't make sense to think too much.
