Chapter 700

This All-Star trip, Richard is quite relaxed, there are five players selected All-Star, if this can't get amvp, Richard simply don't do this coach.

Finally, Roy got the all star MVP and Richard got the seventh part of the super giant suit!

The all star once a year, Richard is quite looking forward to, after all, he has collected this super huge suit for more than ten years.

One thing has been collected for more than ten years, and we can imagine how Richard looked forward to the day when the collection was successful.

Fortunately, most of them have been collected, and only the last two are left.

……

After All-Star, Richard also began to worry about the qualification of All-Star team leader next year.

Richard naturally wants to get the super big suit as soon as possible, which requires him to obtain more all star leading qualification.

Next year, if there is no accident, the top four teams in the East are still the current four, pirates, green Kai, pistons and magic.

Green Kai's manager rivers, I don't know if next year if get the qualification to lead the team, will give up to themselves.

Last season rivers didn't let go, delaying Richard's plan to put together a giant suit for a year.

And the pistons are now in charge. Saunders has been fired and replaced by Michael curry.

This head coach, Richard, has no friendship with him, and does not know whether he will give up to himself after he gets the qualification to lead the team.

As for magic, big van Gundy should not let Richard have such a premonition.

Just as Richard was worried about the all star next season, he received a call from piston general manager Thomas Dumas.

Old Davidson died last night

After receiving the news, Richard's head was pounding, and it was time to come.

Old Davidson, who has forgotten his years, can't escape the devastation brought by the years.

"Rahim, you've been acting as manager for the last few days. I have to go to Detroit." Richard called Rahim to take over as head coach.

Rahim naturally knew about the death of old Davidson and nodded.

……

On the plane to Detroit, Richard wrote a eulogy, which is why Dumas called Richard.

According to the meaning of old Davidson before his death, he invited Richard to attend the memorial service held at the palace arena in Auburn mountain.

After arriving in Detroit, Richard went straight to old Davidson's estate on the outskirts of the city.

Dumas, Yao Ming and other piston men are all in the manor, with a deep pain on their faces.

When they saw Richard coming, they all sighed.

"My old man, let me see him for the last time." Richard's eyes were a little red.

The relationship between him and Detroit, though only three years, has always been very good.

Old Davidson has always taken care of Richard, and Richard is also full of respect for this old friend.

Under the guidance of Dumas, Richard met old Davidson for the last time.

Richard was very sad to see the old man he knew left.

"Coach, save the day." Yao Ming patted Richard on the shoulder.

At present, Yao Ming is also very sad. His most grateful person is Richard, and in addition to Richard, his most grateful person is old Davidson.

Old Davidson has always taken great care of Yao Ming. He takes Yao Ming as his own child.

In Yao Ming's view, old Davidson is not only his own boss, but also his elders who take care of himself.

……

Three days later, the palace arena in Auburn mountain.

Tonight is the piston's home game. It's an hour and a half before the start of the game. The stadium is full of many sad fans.

"Detroit lost a hero, Detroit lost a good boss, and Richard lost a close friend."

"I'll never forget the time when I worked with old guys."

"All things in the world can be changed, only life and death can't be changed. Rest in peace, my old man. Go all the way."

“……”

Richard read the eulogy with deep expression and mixed five tastes in his heart.

Looking at the autumn clothes with his name hanging over the stadium, Richard recalled the night when he won the championship.

……

At the end of the memorial service, Dumas instructed the team's staff to hang the jerseys bearing the name of old Davidson over the stadium.

Old Davidson is definitely worthy of this honor. He has brought countless glory to piston in his life.

At the beginning, if it wasn't for Davidson to invite Richard personally, I'm afraid Richard would not have thought of joining the piston.

It's because of Davidson that the pistons have won two more titles in the team's history.……

The next morning, Richard followed Dumas and Yao Ming to visit Davidson's family.

On the way back, Dumas mentioned something to Richard.

It was quite a surprise to Richard.

"Li, do you have any plans to buy Piston?"

"In old Davidson's will, you have a right of first refusal."

Richard didn't expect old Davidson to mention it in his will, but it's also normal to think about it. For old Davidson, piston is of great significance. He naturally doesn't want piston to become a fish belly team after his death.

And if Richard can buy the pistons, under Richard's leadership, the pistons will definitely return to the top again. It's only a matter of time before the pirates are killed.

How long will the pirate team remain strong without Richard? I'm afraid it won't take longer than the previous peak blazers.

Piston's future is the most important thing for old Davidson before his death, so he made such a will.

His family didn't particularly want to run the pistons, and they may have plans to sell them now.

Now, Dumas mentioned this to Richard, thinking that Richard could buy the piston, so at least his position as general manager would not change.

After all, he and Richard are old acquaintances. After Richard bought the piston, he could not use his knife.

Yao Ming also looked at Richard with a hopeful eye on one side. He also hoped that Richard would enter the main piston, so that he could play under Richard again.

He has developed feelings for Detroit, and has opened several Yao restaurants in Detroit. He has a lot of industries, so he doesn't want to leave Detroit.

Now if Richard came to the main piston, it would be the best of both worlds for Yao Ming.

……

Both of them are looking at Richard, hoping to get a positive answer from Richard.

Richard's head is a bit disordered. Just after old Davidson died, he was asked to consider these issues.

However, even if his head was disordered, Richard felt that he would not have the idea of buying piston.

Although Detroit's economy fell in the first two years, it was OK on the whole. In the future, the situation is not so optimistic.

Detroit's market will become smaller and smaller. If you buy piston, you can't lose money because of the huge broadcasting contract, but don't want to make too much money.

Besides, at present, Richard is doing well in the pirate team, and he really has no idea of joining other teams.

"I'm sorry, guys, I have no plans to buy piston."

"First, I have no intention of leaving the pirate team." Richard sighed.

Dumas and Yao nodded and sighed in their hearts. They felt uneasy about the future.

I don't know what kind of person the boss who will take over the piston is. Is it a good boss like old Davidson.

The boss is different from the boss. Some bosses are quite annoying. Playing under such a boss is definitely not a pleasant thing.

It's a pity that Richard doesn't plan to buy piston, otherwise, Dumas and Yao Ming don't need to be so worried at the moment.

The pistons have achieved outstanding results in recent years, and the market value of the team must be good. No one can get $340 million.

If old Davidson is still there, he may give way to Richard in terms of price. But now the ownership of piston belongs to old Davidson's family. Even if Richard has the preemptive right, if the money is not enough, it will not work.

Richard gave Golden Dragon 350 million US dollars to buy warrior before, but now he doesn't have much working capital.

……

After returning to Charlotte, Jordan came to talk to Richard. He knew that there was some uneasiness in his heart after old Davidson died.

He had no friendship with old Davidson at all. Even because of the bad children's army, there was no too much hatred between them. So he was not worried about the death of old Davidson.

What he was afraid of was that Richard would come up with a plan to buy pistons, so the pirate team would be cold

Fortunately, he was relieved to learn that Richard did not intend to buy piston.
