Generally speaking, the more West Lafayette players in a team, the stronger the strength is.
But this sentence does not apply to the king.
There are so many West Lafayette players in the king's team. There are four. Apart from the team that Richard has coached, no other team can have so many West Lafayette players.
But although these four players are able to enter the first half of the Western playoffs this year, there is still a big gap between them.
On the western side, the king was suspended whether he met the Spurs or the suns.
Of course, the four don't know the result of their season yet.
The night before the match, Richard had a meal with the four and had a good chat.
At first, Artest wanted to order some wine. Tonight, he had a drink to solve his thousand worries, but Richard stopped him.
There will be a match tomorrow night. If you return to the hotel drunk tonight, Adelman will explode in place.
They are in a state of both excitement and trepidation.
It's exciting that four silafaye brothers gather together. Such a configuration is rare in the whole league and may have a chance to win the championship.
I'm afraid that if someone is injured again this season, what should I do
"Coach, do you think we can win this season?" Artest, who was rather impatient, asked Richard.
Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No one can say that. Ron, as long as you can all keep healthy, the king's team is very competitive."
"Rahim, cheer up. You're only twenty-nine now. How can you look older than me, like an old man?"
Richard patted Rahim on the shoulder and said solemnly.
When Rahim first joined the league, what a sight it was, but after so many years of fighting, the man who had once been beautiful has been gradually defeated by injuries and reality.
It's not just him. Apart from Artest, Bibby and Miller are both dead and dead.
Artest has won the championship in the trailblazers, and he is a natural optimist, so he doesn't pay attention to the current difficulties.
The other three can't do it. They haven't even touched the floor of the division finals. They are all close to 30 years old now. It's hard to say whether they have the chance to reach the division finals in the future.
"I regret it now. I should have cut my salary to join the Blazers after I finished my rookie contract."
"Even if I only get five million a year's salary, play a few years, and win the championship, my career will not have any regrets."
Rahim sighed and now regrets why he didn't cut his salary to join the Blazers.
If I had joined the trailblazers with $5 million a year or $10 million in two years, I would have won the championship now.
Bibi and Miller on one side nodded
"Don't be so upset. It's like retiring tomorrow."
"You are all young, and there are opportunities in the future."
"I told you at the beginning that when you really can't fight, you can come to me and I will make your career a success."
"It's just a championship. It's not a rarity."
When they heard Richard's words, they couldn't help laughing bitterly.
It seems that Richard is really qualified to comment on the championship, because Richard already has five championship rings
"Coach, how are the pirates doing now? Do you have a chance to win in the last one or two seasons? "
Richard nodded. "There must be opportunities. What's the specific situation? Tomorrow's fight, you will know."
"Have a good rest tonight. Don't think about it. If you can't get along with it, at least I can go back."
……
The four returned to the hotel one after another. Except for the heartless Artest, the other three were all filled with emotion.
Perhaps the luckiest thing they've ever done is join the West Lafayette gang.
Even if you are now in a state of decline, at least there is Richard's way back.
If we let the fringe players in the League know what they think, they will cry to death
Are you still in a bad mood? Each of them has a salary of ten million years, and they dare to say that they are down!
……
At noon the next day, Richard answered the phone.
It's from my cheap cousin Bisley.
Now he has entered oak mountain high school, a famous basketball school, and joined Durant, his good friend.
And this oak mountain is just next door to North Carolina, Virginia. It's less than four hours' drive.
Tonight is the regular season kick-off for the pirates. Besley wants to be able to watch the ball on the spot, so he calls his big cousin Richard.It's impossible for Richard to refuse such a small thing. It's only three tickets, even if they are all VIP seats, it's not worth a few money.
Beasley and Durant can't drive. This time, they found a senior senior who had been promoted to be their driver with the lure of tickets.
After Richard told the lads to be careful on the way, he gave him a call to contact the team's ticket manager before entering the stadium.
On the ticket manager's side, Richard has already said hello and asked him to reserve three VIP seats.
……
As soon as Bisley's business was handled here, Richard's office welcomed guests.
This guest is a bad guest, because the goods are not invited.
"You are?" Richard frowned at the middle-aged man who broke into his office.
Asian faces, but Richard can still tell, which is 80% Korean.
The face features of Korean people are quite distinctive. If you observe carefully, you can easily distinguish them.
Of course, if I haven't adjusted the capacity
……
"Coach Richard, how do you do? It's a great honor to meet you. I'm the agent of Hesheng town. My name is park Youtian." The middle-aged man is really rude.
After entering the door, I pulled a chair directly and sat opposite Richard.
Richard frowned, agent of Hesheng town? Why are you here?
Do you want to come here to play autumn?
Hesheng entered the League last season and was selected by the Blazers in the second round. However, the Blazers didn't use him very much and kept him in the Development League.
No
To be exact, it's not the Development League, but the ABA League, a basketball league created by the American Basketball Association.
In the old American basketball circle, the ABA League may not be as powerful as the NBA Development League.
The Blazers sent him to play for the Portland rulers for a whole season, and they may have forgotten the existence of such a person.
At present, the new season is about to start again. It seems that the trailblazers haven't remembered the existence of Hesheng town
