Chapter 546

Under normal circumstances, after the implementation of the dress code, there are still many players openly boycotted, but stern was determined to implement the dress code, the two sides were very unhappy.

But despite the public boycott, no one dares to violate the dress code

The reason is very simple, because the punishment is too intimidating.

A fine of up to half a million dollars will be imposed. Who can spend so much money that there is no place to spend

You know, some players make less than half a million dollars a year.

……

On the second day after the press conference, media from all walks of life sent out articles to speculate why the dress order could be so easily implemented.

There is no matter about the leaked trade of the West Lafayette players, Richard and stern will not talk about it, but after all, it is quite obvious, and the smart people can see it at a glance.

Stern sat in his office, his face red, and he felt that he was embarrassed by the news.

He represents the NBA official. At present, he has made a deal with Richard, a single individual. Now all parties are crazy about Richard's ability to influence their decisions.

"Adam, try to calm this down. I don't want to hear that I'm Richard's puppet any more." Stern was clearly in a hurry.

Xiao Hua suffered a lot from egg ache. He didn't expect these media to be so audacious. There was no evidence at all, so he reported directly.

"OK, Mr. President, let me find a way..." Xiao Hua sighed.

It's hard to do. How can we shut up the media?

At the first time, Xiao Hua thought of Richard.

Richard is the owner of this matter. It seems that if you want the media to shut up, you have to let Richard solve it.

……

"Yes, but you owe me a favor. Try to give me as little Richard's law as possible in the future." Richard agreed to Xiao Hua without saying a word and helped them settle the matter.

There are advantages and disadvantages to having too much influence. As the saying goes, building a big tree will attract the wind, and Richard doesn't want to be too showy.

With the media reports, Richard has now been blown into the NBA behind the scenes, the owners of other teams will not be too happy

So Richard decided to go out and try his best to deal with it and minimize the impact.

"What can you do now? Let's talk about it... " Xiao Hua asked curiously that Richard had agreed so simply, which really surprised him.

"There must be a way, but first of all, you should be fined, but I will not give you a dime."

……

The next evening, the piston's home game, the whole obensen palace arena bustling like the new year.

Everyone's eyes on Richard's body on the field, even the opponent's players are also a stunned look.

Richard was wearing big green underpants with flowers, a vest with whistles in V-neckline, a gold medal in serafaye and a toad mirror covering half of his face

Anyway, Richard broke all the prohibitions in the dress code.

In fact, at the new army's voting conference, Stern said that Richard's passing on his underpants to coach the game was a pure disgrace to Richard's reputation.

But Richard did it tonight. Not only did he wear underpants, but the whole man's clothes were just too coquettish.

It's the old American version of Nicholas Zhao Si.

……

There were wild cheers on the scene. Just after the dress order was issued, Richard made such a dress. What does this mean?

On behalf of Richard not afraid of power!

It means Richard didn't take the ban seriously at all

……

"A hero fearless of power!"

"It's just like this dress explodes..."

"Richard, you should go to the White Horse Club!"

The fans cheered one after another. Richard was shocked. White Horse Club

This is his grandma's, isn't it a famous Duck Club in Detroit?!

Almost no one at the scene cared about the game on the field, and they all paid attention to Richard, who was pacing up and down the field.

The game is not finished, NBA official website immediately updated a heavy news.

Because Richard violated the dress code, the League decided to impose a $500000 fine on Richard!

This is the upper limit of the dress order fine. Richard has violated all the terms that can be violated in the dress order, not even the upper limit.

……

Many journalists have already got the news and will wait for the press conference to begin.

"Come on, come on, good guy, I've changed my body again. It's more coquettish than that one just now!""Richard is really cruel enough. Where did he find these clothes..."

"Well, it seems that these pants are familiar to you. Clark's mother's pants, right? I remember seeing it before... "

Richard took the team's players to the post match press conference tonight.

Tonight's game, the pistons home basket, a big win 27 points, it is reasonable to say that this game is quite enough.

However, no reporters paid attention to it. They just want to ask Richard what he thought.

……

"Mr. Richard, just now the League officially announced that you were fined $500000. Do you know that?" A reporter got up to ask.

Richard nodded. Just now he was in the dressing room listening to the team members.

He will be punished. Anyway, he is helping the league. He will not give a dime to the league.

Half a million dollars, not much for Richard, but he didn't want to be the big shot.

"Coach Richard, you should be very clear about the punishment of the dress code. Why do you violate the dress code tonight?" the reporter continued to ask.

Richard frowned, thought for a moment, and gave an answer that made many journalists faint.

"Money."

"You can do whatever you want with money."

"Anything that can be solved with money is nothing."

Richard smacked his mouth and said with a smile.

Without waiting for the reporter to continue to ask questions, Richard added, "this ban seems to me to be a device."

"As long as I want, I have 82 games a year, including about 20 games in the playoffs, and I can wear them casually, which I can afford."

Poof, the off stage reporters are going to spit blood. If they play 100 games a year, Richard will be fined 500 thousand dollars for one game, which will be 50 million dollars a year

How rich Richard really is!

Looking at the dazed appearance of the off stage reporters, Richard was happy. He was boasting about this just now. If he was fined $50 million, he would be in a hurry

"Of course, I advise young players not to follow me. It's not easy for everyone to make some money. After all, they have to support their families."

"If it's too much money, it's not that I can't learn from it. We should give 500000 US dollars to support the construction of the Alliance..."

The reporters were about to spit blood. That was half a million dollars. In Richard's words, even toilet paper was inferior.

They dare not continue to ask. If they continue to ask, they must stimulate Richard to death.

I'm a group of journalists. I'm tired all the year round. I'll earn $230000 at last.

But Richard threw half a million at will, which made his teeth itch.

Hearing that Richard mentioned the word "support the family", the reporters immediately thought of Richard and Paul Allen's TIA, which is also a good news material.

"Coach Li Chade, when you talk about supporting your family, do you have a wedding plan with Tina Alan?"

Hearing this problem, Richard was puzzled. It was a rather difficult problem.

He and Tina haven't really talked about it yet

At present, if there is no marriage plan, it's uncertain what kind of news will be compiled by these journalists.

It's estimated that Paul Allen's phone call the next day will come

"Well, it's up to Tina to make up her mind..."

"Don't ask such personal questions in the future. I'm not an entertainment star. Why are you staring at my private life?"

"Well, that's the end of today's press conference."

With that said, Richard and the players began to leave.

……

Just after the press conference, Richard went back to the dressing room, Xiao Hua called. He didn't sleep so late. He was obviously watching the game tonight.

"Well done, Li!" Xiao Hua said with heartfelt admiration.

In such a way, the rumors outside are basically self defeating. Xiao Hua feels that Richard's work this time is really crisp and beautiful.

"Well, we're all old acquaintances. There's no need to be so polite."

"I still say that, you punish you, anyway I will not give you a dime." Said Richard in a low voice.

"Don't worry, that is to say, you won't really be fined $500000 for going through the stage." Xiao Hua said with a wry smile.

Watching Richard's performance at the press conference, it was a super local tyrant, and he didn't blink an eye for half a million dollars.

But now I've been talking about not giving a dime. There are also big local tyrants there.

……

With Richard making such a fuss, the rumors of the outside world will not break.

Stern was relieved at last, and his dignity was preserved. But what happened next, however, made him sulk, and there was no fire.As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and Countermeasures at the bottom.

As soon as the NBA dress code came out, those players who like to wear personal clothes immediately found the strategy of facing the dress code.

For example, Iverson directly contacted famous hip-hop brands and ordered several sets of clothes that did not violate the dress code.

Although the dress code is strict, it is not without flaws. For example, there is no regulation on the color or pattern of players' clothes, which is a loophole that can be drilled.

With Iverson taking the lead, many players are also learning. They have gone to the manufacturers to customize their own clothes.

Stern has no choice but to open one eye and close the other, which is the default behavior.

……

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of December.

The annual NBA All-Star vote has begun. This year's All-Star vote, because of the restructuring, is naturally very different from the previous years.

However, the influence is not great, because there are still strong centers in the league today, such as Shaquille O'Neal in the West and Yao Ming in the East. Whether they have special centers or not, they can steadily enter the All-Star starting line-up

As for the All-Star coach, it's not the right time at the moment. One week before the start of the All-Star game, we have to decide the coach according to the results of the division.

The top player in the Western Conference is the Timberwolves. Their coach, Philippe Sanders, will be the all star coach in the Western Conference.

As for the east side, although the pistons are the first in the East, Richard has been an all star coach last season, so this season has no chance.

Unless the Eastern team coach gives up his team leading qualification and transfers it to Richard

On the eastern side, the two teams behind the pistons are the nets and the 76ers.

Coincidentally, the two teams have achieved similar results at the moment. At that time, Laurence frank, the new head coach of the nets, or Rick Carlisle, will lead the team. Richard is not sure at the moment.

A few days ago, the nets fired their head coach Byron Scott and replaced them with new coach Lawrence Frank.

This frank, the domestic fan should not be unfamiliar, he has coached Yi Jianlian, Richard has some impression on this young coach.

Quite young, even three years younger than Richard

Without Richard, Frank would have been qualified to compete with young commander Stevens of green Kay.

A lot of new coaches' records were broken by Frank.

For example, the new coach's record of 14 consecutive wins, for example, the youngest coach with 100 wins, for example, the coach with the most winning games in the history of the nets team (only the winning games at that time were the most, excluding the later nets)

in a word, this is a very powerful young coach. If his wife is not ill, he leaves the team I'm afraid that his achievements will be quite good.

……

When it comes to frank, we have to talk about Stevens' development.

This season Stevens officially joined the clippers, took over the Clippers coach and became the first team coach.

It has something to do with Richard

Like a team's head coach position, it must be very competitive. Even the head coach position of a fish belly team like clipper is watched by many people.

The Clippers coach at the beginning of last season was Alvin Kingsley, a well-known coach in the future, who coached the pelicans.

In the middle of the race, he was fired by the clipper and replaced by Dennis Johnson.

As a result, Johnson was also a short-lived coach and was fired by Clippers at the end of the season

A lot of people came to interview and compete for the vacant coach seat.

Among them is old Dunleavy.

After the old Dunleavy is dismissed by the Bucks, he will certainly not be idle at home, and will focus on the position of clipper manager.

Originally, with his qualifications, the position was basically secure.

It turned out that Cheng Yaojin, Stevens, was killed halfway.

Finally let the old Dunleavy breath blood, the Clippers did not choose him as the veteran coach, but chose Stevens without the manager's resume.

It's normal to think about it. How could the clipper management not be clear about the contradiction between old Dunleavy and Richard

If old Dunleavy did come, wouldn't he say he was making trouble for himself.

What if Richard goes mad and makes them fast?

This matter is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, no one dares to take this risk.
