Chapter 615

On Sunday night, Richard finally waited for the long-awaited all star game.

The coach of the west is Popovich.

Between Richard and Popovich, because of Larry Brown's reason, it's not hot all the time.

However, there is no friction. Usually, the well water does not offend the river water.

But today Popovich did not know what ghost, as if in a good mood, waved to Li Chade and smiled.

Richard also nodded and smiled politely.

To Richard's surprise, Popovich came straight to him.

"Li, congratulations. The pirate team has grown well. I don't think it will be long before they become another pioneer or piston." Popovich came over and said to Richard with a smile.

"But it's normal to think about it. It's not surprising that you can build such a team in a short period of time with your draft vision."

"Next time you go to San Antonio to play away, I'll invite you to have a taste of my red wine. It's absolutely good. I didn't even give Tim that guy a drink."

Richard is a fool. He entered the league in 1996. It's February 2006. It's almost ten years.

It seems that in the past ten years, Popovich and himself have not said as much as before

"Greg, let's forget about red wine. I know it's your destiny. If you really drink your precious red wine, I'm afraid you will find me desperately." Richard got up and joked at Popovich.

Popovich also laughed. He didn't expect Richard to know himself so well.

He is infatuated with red wine. He can be called an alcoholic, but not an alcoholic.

"Li, this time's all star, you don't mind beating..."

"There may be something else I can do for you in the future."

After all, Popovich blinked at Richard and returned to the West bench.

Richard's face is muddled. Is this naughty old man drunk today?

How can I talk without a clue?

Does he also want to help the Spurs in the draft conference?

It's really an old man who can't get up early without profit

Richard smiled bitterly. He didn't feel bad about Popovich's behavior.

The Spurs are really poor, which requires Popovich to do his best to save money for the Spurs.

What's the cheapest business for NBA teams? That's signing quality rookies.

Some rookies have the strength of star level, but only pay their rookies, which is naturally the most cost-effective business.

Think of the teams that Richard has coached that have never paid luxury taxes, but they are much better than those with high luxury taxes.

There are many reasons for this, Richard can get a lot of high-quality rookies.

Popovich must have seen some clues from the previous draft conference and Sanders' action, so he just contacted Richard.

Anyway, I'll sell my personal feelings to Richard first, and I'll talk about it later.

Richard smiled and shook his head. Although he said he didn't need it very much, he couldn't refuse.

But with Popovich saying that, Richard is more confident about taking the super suit.

How can Popovich sell Richard? It must be draining water to reduce the playing time of some strong players.

It's a joke in Popovich's eyes. He has led the western all stars for several times. Basically, he is too lazy to line up

Popovich will not give his All-Star players too much time to play for fear of their injury.

Although it's a small possibility, Popovich is not willing to try even if it's only one in ten thousand. That's why the Spurs are so poor

In case of a season's reimbursement, the Spurs will lose a lot.

It also shows the difference between Richard and Popovich.

Richard wants his players to play all over the all star game

He wants his players to show off.

Popovich would not have allowed his players to play in the All-Star game if he hadn't worried about the feelings of the fans.

He doesn't want his players to show off

……

Anyway, don't try to play for too long this year. Normally, Duncan only played 20 minutes this year because of Popovich

……

There was a whistle over the stadium and the annual all star game was about to begin.

Cleveland fans cheered the name of James, the only all star player in their home team this season.The eastern side of the pistons is the strongest, with three of them all star.

But after all, it's James' home court. In the eyes of fans, James is the main character tonight.

Richard is afraid to say sorry. Tonight's main character is not James, but Richard.

Richard is in charge of the players' time on the court.

It's not just James, but any other player on the east side tonight who isn't from the West Lafayette side, can't be the main character.

We need to know that Richard also costs money, and then we can get the all star team leader qualification. If we don't get the super suit, he will lose money.

How could Richard do such a loss.

……

"Doodle doodle!" The referee whistled and the game officially began.

The two starters came on stage.

Eastern all star starts: Yao Ming, O'Neill, James, Wade and Iverson.

Western all star starts: Big Ben, Duncan, McGrady, Kobe Bryant and NASH.

It's funny to say that McGrady used to be an all star player in the East all the time. As a result, he began to play as an all star player in the West.

Richard didn't know what McGrady was up to

O'Neill went on the court to jump with Duncan and won the ball for the East team.

Richard looked at Duncan and didn't even have the desire to jump on tiptoe.

I don't know how these Spurs players worked out. It seems that they have no interest in this seemingly useless game.

When the game started, Iverson got the ball and quickly pushed it to the front court, watching Yao Ming fall in the basket's lower position and pass it directly.

Yao Ming directly hit the ball with a smart and elegant hook.

Next, it's the Western offensive round. Their starting lineup is quite wonderful. Of the five starting players, four are West Lafayette players

Kobe Bryant got a pass from Nash, and he was able to pull it back.

It's the eastern offensive round again. This time it's Wade's air connection with O'Neal. The two finished an air pick-up, which won a lot of cheers from the fans on site.

O'Neill and wade have also been partners for more than a year, and there have been many tacit understandings between them.

At least it's a pretty relay.

The air relay is good for a while, and the relay is good all the time

But soon the Cavaliers fans couldn't feel better because they found something they couldn't accept.

It's almost four or five minutes since the opening. Their James has only touched the ball once, and hasn't scored yet. After the rebounds were grabbed by O'Neill, they passed it to wade.
