Chapter 613: Yao Ming's apology

In the next four away games, the Pirates scored 2 wins and 2 losses.
It seems that this record has failed to meet Richard's expectations, but in fact Richard is still acceptable.
Mainly because of this wave of away games, the Pirates' opponents are somewhat strong.
Among them are the Spurs, Nuggets and Heat three strong teams, the Pirates can get two of them wins, in fact, it is already very difficult.
The Spurs did not have to say that they have been stable like a dog for ten thousand years. With the strength of this newly formed pirate team, they are obviously not Spurs' opponents.
The Heat now have O'Neal. O'Neal played bravely in this game and scored 37 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks in a single game.
Resting on peacetime, O'Neill certainly did not work so hard, but this time when he met Richard, he almost took out all the housekeeping skills, thinking of winning Richard one game.
In the end he succeeded...
As for the Nuggets, it is now different than before.
Under the leadership of George Karl, the current rise can be said to be the strongest team in the West after the Spurs and the Suns.
What many people did not pay attention to is that in fact, the 03 Platinum generation, the most dazzling at the beginning was not Wade, but Anthony.
Right now is Anthony's third season in the league. In the first two seasons, he has steadily contributed 20 points, including 21 points in the rookie season and 20.8 points in the second season, which is not much different.
This season, Anthony has completely exploded. In the previous few games, he has averaged a horrible 28.5 points per game, which is close to the league's first small forward Pierce.
The data is excellent, and the team record can reach the top three in the west. Anthony can be said to be infinitely beautiful.
As for Wade, although O'Neal joined last season, their Heat became the Eastern Power, but many people put this credit on O'Neal.
There is nothing wrong with this. O'Neal last season also had explosive data with 23 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game.
As for the No. 3 pick James, the data is naturally quite good, but last season they only got the eighth record in the East. The first round was shaved by the Pistons.
You know, this is because the team has Big Z and Larry Hughes, they were shaved...
...
The Nuggets' lineup is pretty good. Of course, it can only be said to be good. Compared with the super-strong team, their gap is a bit big.
Anthony, Kenyon Martin, Andre Miller, Earl Boykins, Marcus Camby, and Nene Hilario on the bench.
Next season, the Nuggets will trade with the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Iverson to form a golden double-gun combination.
Of course, this combination didn't work very well, and in the end, I didn't even feel the floor.
Richard is wondering if he should cut the deal and get Iverson into his team first, and then take Iverson to win the championship.
But think about the fact that you already have Paul on hand. If you do this, it's a little more than worth it.
You know, the Philadelphia 76ers management is not a fool. They just don’t see the rabbit and don’t throw the eagle. Richard does not give enough chips to impress them. How can they let Iverson go.
To know that under normal circumstances, the Nuggets came back with Andre Miller's assists this season, Joe Smith and the two first-round picks before they got Iverson.
And Richard here if the Philadelphia 76ers apply for a transaction, it is estimated that the 76ers management will require more and bigger chips.
After paying these chips, the Pirates will definitely be hurt, if you want to win the championship, it is estimated that you have to save a few more years of lineup.
In this way, the interception of Hu Iverson is more than enough. If I want to let Iverson join the team, the purpose is definitely to let Iverson win the championship, but Iverson is coming, the team lineup is damaged, it is difficult to win...
It would be better to wait another two years and wait for Iverson to be recruited after the Nuggets give up.
...
In the start of the game, a total of eight games were played, and the Pirates scored 5 wins and 3 losses, ranking fifth in the east.
Richard is naturally not very satisfied with this position. Know that his goal this season is to become the Eastern All-Star coach.
Therefore, the guarantee must also enter the top four, only in this way, he can have the opportunity to get involved in the coach position.
Of course, it is best to score first in the Eastern Conference, as this is the most secure.
There are several teams in the East that have better records than the Pirates. They are the Pistons, Heat, Nets and Green Kai.
Lu Kai's current lineup is really good. This year's draft of Ilya Sova and Reed, they were put into the starting lineup by Rivers, and they have achieved good results.
In this way, Lu Kai's starting lineup includes Okur, Pierce, Ilya Sova and Reed. In addition to the weak position one, the remaining four positions are still pretty good.
This is also the reason why they can enter the first half of the Eastern Conference.
Pierce and Doug Rivers are naturally very grateful to Richard.
The two newcomers selected this time are not very good on the defensive end, but the offense can not pick out the fault.
With the joining of the two, plus Pierce and Okur, who had strong offensive firepower, their Green Kai's offensive firepower has already reached the top three in the league.
That is, defensive efficiency drags their hind legs, otherwise, their record may be even higher.
...
After this wave of four consecutive away games, the Pirates will then play against the Pistons at home.
What surprised Richard a little was that the Pistons took turns off Yao Ke...
And it's not over yet, two main players on the front line have also been put on the injury list.
This is not to say that the Pistons have suffered a wave of injuries, because these people are now in Charlotte, eating with Richard.
"So, Philip is going to give me water?" Richard asked with a smile.
Yao Ming nodded, and the new head coach of the Pistons, Philip Sanders, really is the idea right now.
Philip Sanders had been in friendship with Richard for many years. Before that, he had been coaching the Timberwolves, but he was fired for failing to lead the Timberwolves for a long time.
Before Richard left the Pistons, Dumas asked Richard for the replacement of the head coach. Richard was the recommended Sanders.
Sanders has excellent coaching skills and is a senior coach of the league. It is quite suitable to be the head coach of the Pistons.
Dumas did not refuse, because he knew it was useless, and boss Davidson would definitely use the candidate recommended by Richard.
In this way, Sanders was considered completely into Richard's own camp.
"Coach, I feel very sorry for you. The signing of the contract in advance..." Yao Ming said to Richard with some guilt.
During the offseason, Yao Ming already completed an early renewal contract with the Pistons, a five-year contract with a maximum salary of $73 million.
Not only Yao Ming, but also Stoudemire, who is also a rookie of the 02th year, also renewed the contract with the Suns in advance, and also received the top salary contract.
Under normal circumstances, Dunleavy Jr. actually got the opportunity to renew his contract in advance~EbookFREE.me~ Although he didn't get the top salary, it is also at the level of 10 million annual salary.
However, because he was previously pitted by Richard, and the influence of his old father, Deng Leiwei, in the league has faded, he is not so lucky now under normal circumstances...
...
Richard waved his hand directly, "Dao Yao, to be honest, I'm really a little uncomfortable, but you don't have to think too much, you should all know me very well, I don't like to impose."
"For you, staying in the Pistons is indeed the best option, and we all know that."
"So, there is no need to mention this matter anymore. Come on and try to win another championship."
Before Yao Ming and the Pistons renewed the contract in advance, Richard was really uncomfortable, because if Yao Ming did not renew the contract in advance, he will join the Pirates next season until he finishes this year...
In this way, the Pirates next season will be basically invincible.
